We're going to study English with the movie Molly's Game.
2
8140
3360
00:11
And we're going to study an argument.
3
11500
2560
00:14
There are two different ways that people tend to speak in an argument.
4
14060
3880
00:17
Louder and more intense, and quieter and more intentional.
5
17940
4660
00:22
And in this scene, we have both.
6
22600
2760
00:25
We're going to look at all the things that make spoken English difficult—linking, reductions,
7
25360
5120
00:30
changing the sounds of a word. When you study these things and you know them,
8
30480
4260
00:34
you're going to be so much more comfortable and confident speaking English.
9
34740
4760
00:39
Study like this and you're going to be able to watch American movies and TV without subtitles.
10

That is my business literally.

00:48
We're doing this all summer we started in June and we're going through August,
12
48000
3900
00:51
stick with me every Tuesday, they're all great scenes and there's going to be so much to learn
13
51900
5840
00:57
that can transform the way you understand and speak English.

You're going to watch the clip then we're going to do a full pronunciation analysis together.
17
74040
5120
01:19
This is going to help so much with your listening comprehension
18
79160
3360
01:22
when it comes to watching English movies in TV.
19
82520
2840
01:25
But there's going to be a training section.
20
85360
3020
01:28
You're going to take what you've just learned and practice repeating it,
21
88380
3680
01:32
doing a reduction, flapping a T, just like you learned in the analysis.
22
92060
4540
01:36
Okay, here's the scene.
23
96600
1700
01:38
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
24
98300
2360
01:40
Be that as may…
25
100660
1260
01:41
You know who the biggest winner in this game is?
26
101920
1600
01:43
It’s you.
27
103520
720
01:44
You know who the second biggest winner is?
28
104240
1500
01:45
>> Look. >> It’s you.
29
105740
3040
01:48
What are you taking home? 10,000 a night now?
30
108780
2360
01:51
That is my business, literally.
31
111140
1800
01:52
Between you, the dealers, and the servers, you’re taking a lot of money out of this game.
32
112940
4180
01:57
And now, the analysis.
33
117120
2060
01:59
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
34
119180
2120
02:01
Okay, so these people are arguing.
35
121300
2400
02:03
His voice is higher, it's louder.
36
123700
2620
02:06
These guys-- it's a little bit more intense, has a little bit more of an edge to it.
37
126320
4860
02:11
What do you think are the most stressed syllables here?
38
131180
2980
02:14
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
39
134160
2540
02:16
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
40
136700
2400
02:19
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
41
139100
2080
02:21
These guys-- a little bit of stress there.
42
141180
2540
02:23
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
43
143720
5820
02:29
So me and you get the most stress. He's comparing the two of them.
44
149540
4000
02:33
But even guys, even all of the words other than me and you, are said pretty quickly.
45
153540
6640
02:40
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
46
160180
2440
02:42
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
47
162620
2480
02:45
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
48
165100
2060
02:47
These guys, These guys, These guys, These guys. These, said quickly, unstressed.
49
167160
6060
02:53
These guys--
50
173220
2760
02:55
These, These, These, These. That S is a Z sound.
51
175980
3620
02:59
It's weak. Just make sure you're not saying: these.
52
179600
2700
03:02
These, These, These, These, These, these guys.
53
182300
2980
03:05
These guys—
54
185280
2220
03:07
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
55
187500
2060
03:09
What about: want to play cards with--?
56
189560
4300
03:13
What about this string of unstressed words before our next stressed syllable, me?
57
193860
6520
03:20
Want to play cards with—
58
200380
1480
03:21
Want to play cards with—
59
201860
1320
03:23
Want to play cards with—
60
203180
1140
03:24
Want to play cards with--
61
204320
1440
03:25
want to play cards with—So, pretty fast. The words ‘want to’ are combined into the reduction: wanna, wanna.
62
205760
7920
03:33
Wanna play cards with—
63
213680
1640
03:35
Want to play cards with—
64
215320
1400
03:36
Want to play cards with—
65
216720
1260
03:37
Want to play cards with—
66
217980
1160
03:39
And actually in the word with, I hear that TH being dropped. With me, with me, with me.
67
219140
5180
03:44
Just a super fast W, IH sound linking into the word me. With me.
68
224320
5800
03:50
With me.
69
230120
2820
03:52
So let's listen to that whole string of unstressed, less stressed words.
70
232940
5460
03:58
Want to play cards with me--
71
238400
1660
04:00
Want to play cards with me--
72
240060
1600
04:01
Want to play cards with me, not you.
73
241660
1880
04:03
Me, not you. Me, not—stop T in not. And actually, now that I’m focused on just these three words,
74
243540
7600
04:11
I hear that the word you is stressed but it doesn't have the stress that goes up and down.
75
251140
6820
04:17
It has a stress that goes up. You—me, not you.
76
257960
7820
04:25
Me, not you.
77
265780
1200
04:26
Me, not you.
78
266980
1300
04:28
Me, not you.
79
268280
1140
04:29
Be that as it may…
80
269420
1740
04:31
Her voice is much quieter.
81
271160
3000
04:34
Each word is more clear and separate.
82
274160
3220
04:37
More so than it would be in normal conversational English.
83
277380
3720
04:41
Be that as it may. Stress on be, be that as it may.
84
281100
8500
04:49
Be that as it may…
85
289600
1980
04:51
Be that as it may…
86
291580
1880
04:53
Be that as it may…
87
293460
1860
04:55
And she makes her stress go up, so that she can signal that she's going to continue, she's not done,
88
295320
5720
05:01
but he goes ahead and talks over her anyway, doesn't he? Be that as it may…
89
301040
6720
05:07
>> Be that as it may… >> You know—
90
307760
1920
05:09
>> Be that as it may… >> You know—
91
309680
1800
05:11
>> Be that as it may… >> You know—
92
311480
1880
05:13
Be that-- So even though she's being clearer than you would in normal conversational English,
93
313360
4860
05:18
she still doesn't release that as a true T.
94
318220
2520
05:20
Be that as it-- that's a stop T, she stops the air.
95
320740
5080
05:25
Be that as it may… she doesn't link it together with the flap T.
96
325820
5320
05:31
Be that as it may… Be that as it may…
97
331140
3080
05:34
That would be the way that you would probably pronounce that in conversational English,
98
334220
3640
05:37
you would reduce the vowel in as, you would make a flap T to link,
99
337860
4320
05:42
but she doesn't do that. Be that as it—
100
342180
3200
05:45
She does link here, the Z sound links right into the beginning IH vowel.
101
345380
4260
05:49
As it may-- another stop T in it. Be that as it may…
102
349640
6780
05:56
>> Be that as it may… >> You know—
103
356420
2060
05:58
>> Be that as it may… >> You know—
104
358480
1860
06:00
>> Be that as it may… >> You know—
105
360340
1860
06:02
So this is very careful English.
106
362200
2640
06:04
He’s speaking much more quickly, his is more conversational.
107
364840
3680
06:08
So even though we think: oh, this is so clear, this one has to be right. It's actually not.
108
368520
4780
06:13
I mean, it's fine that she does it here, but if you spoke everything you said this clearly, this slowly,
109
373300
8780
06:22
that would no longer be natural English.
110
382080
4700
06:26
It's this kind of English with the reductions and the linking, words like wanna, dropped sounds,
111
386780
7240
06:34
that's the kind of English that's normal conversational English.
112
394020
3280
06:37
Okay, let's keep going.
113
397300
2080
06:39
>> Be that as it may… >> You know—
114
399380
1860
06:41
>> Be that as it may… >> You know—
115
401240
1840
06:43
>> Be that as it may… >> You know who the biggest winner in this game is?
116
403080
3160
06:46
You know-- A lot of stress there.
117
406240
3240
06:49
You know who the biggest winner in this game is?
118
409480
6600
06:56
I think those are our most stressed words.
119
416080
2600
06:58
Let's look at the rest. How does it all link together smoothly?
120
418680
4040
07:02
You know who the biggest winner in this game is?
121
422720
2240
07:04
You know who the biggest winner in this game is?
122
424960
2080
07:07
You know who the biggest winner in this game is?
123
427040
1860
07:08
So the word you, I don't think that's a reduction. I do think it's you instead of ye, ye, ye. You know--
124
428900
5200
07:14
that's a common way to pronounce it, with the schwa. Ye-- you know.
125
434100
4500
07:18
But I do hear that that as the OO vowel. You, you, you, you, you. You know-- you know--
126
438600
5240
07:23
but it’s said incredibly quickly. It's not: you know, it's you know, you, you, you. You know who the—
127
443840
8100
07:31
You know who the--
128
451940
1160
07:33
You know who the--
129
453100
1000
07:34
You know who the--
130
454100
860
07:34
The word ‘who’ pronounced with the H consonant and the OO vowel.
131
454960
4680
07:39
I barely hear an H consonant. You know who the-- You know who the--
132
459640
5280
07:44
You could even do that dropped, I think. You know who the-- You know who the--
133
464920
3760
07:48
because I’m not even sure if I hear the H.
134
468680
2520
07:51
You know who the--
135
471200
1500
07:52
You know who the--
136
472700
960
07:53
You know who the--
137
473660
1100
07:54
You know who the--
138
474760
780
07:55
Wow, that's not very clear, is it? But that's what we do in normal conversational English.
139
475540
5300
08:00
The, also said very quickly, unstressed. The-- the-- the-- the-- the—
140
480840
5680
08:06
You know who the--
141
486520
1180
08:07
You know who the--
142
487700
1020
08:08
You know who the biggest winner in this game is?
143
488720
2100
08:10
Now we have two words with a stressed syllable.
144
490820
2900
08:13
Biggest winner so even though the word biggest is stressed, the T is dropped.
145
493720
7020
08:20
We drop this T in an ending cluster like ST cluster when the next word begins with a consonant.
146
500740
5580
08:26
Biggest winner. That helps us link more smoothly.
147
506320
4820
08:31
Biggest winner—
148
511140
1120
08:32
Biggest winner--
149
512260
1040
08:33
Biggest winner--
150
513300
940
08:34
Now this vowel is the IH vowel like in sit.
151
514240
3480
08:37
Make sure you're not making the EE vowel like in seat.
152
517720
3380
08:41
Biggest, biggest, bih—ih-- it's more relaxed. Bih-- biggest. Biggest.
153
521100
8480
08:49
I'm saying it now with the T, but no, when we link in, we drop the T.
154
529580
4680
08:54
Biggest winner. Another IH vowel.
155
534260
5960
09:00
Winner. Biggest winner.
156
540220
2980
09:03
Biggest winner--
157
543200
1080
09:04
Biggest winner--
158
544280
920
09:05
Biggest winner in this game is?
159
545200
1580
09:06
In this game is? In this game is?
160
546780
2380
09:09
So the R links right into the IH vowel. Winner in this--
161
549160
5540
09:14
So the unstressed syllable of winner,
162
554700
3180
09:17
the word in, and the word this, this is three unstressed syllables together.
163
557880
4100
09:21
Ner in this-- ner in this-- ner in this-- ner in this-- and they're flatter in pitch.
164
561980
4460
09:26
In this game. Then for the stressed word game, we have that up down shape,
165
566440
4280
09:30
all linked together smoothly.
166
570720
2040
09:32
Ner in this game— ner in this game is?
167
572760
3060
09:35
Winner in this game is?
168
575820
1960
09:37
Winner in this game is?
169
577780
1440
09:39
Winner in this game is?
170
579220
1520
09:40
Winner in this game is?
171
580740
1440
09:42
Now in this, you're going to have to really simplify the mouth movements, especially here,
172
582180
5760
09:47
the TH in this is voiced, same with hearing the word the, voiced TH.
173
587940
6620
09:54
When you have a voiced TH beginning an unstressed word like the, or this, you don't actually say: the or this.
174
594560
8600
10:03
To do that, I’m making my tongue tip come through the teeth.
175
603160
5320
10:08
Well, that's too much and too long of a sound for a little unstressed word like the, or this.
176
608480
5760
10:14
So we actually do a shortcut with that TH in these situations, voiced sound, beginning a stressed word.
177
614240
7660
10:21
That, this, the, these, up here as well.
178
621900
5840
10:27
So rather than a full TH sound, it's, the, the, the, the.
179
627740
6580
10:34
The TH is made with the tongue, not coming through the teeth, but
180
634320
5080
10:39
pushing forward, it moves forward and it's right towards the backs of the teeth,
181
639400
5740
10:45
but it's not at the roof of the mouth, that would probably end up sounding like a d,
182
645140
3900
10:49
Ddd—it’s the, the, the, and you pull the tongue tip back.
183
649040
3960
10:53
So for here, the word the, you pull it back and you just make the schwa.
184
653000
4240
10:57
The, the, the. Here, for the word these, these, these, these, these. You pull it back, you make the EE vowel.
185
657240
7260
11:04
For the word this, this, this, this, this, this, this. You pull it back and you make the IH quickly before the S.
186
664500
6360
11:10
This, this, this, this. So it's not this, this this, this, this,
187
670860
7000
11:17
it's this, this, this, this. Winner in this game is?
188
677860
3820
11:21
You really have to simplify that TH in order to get that sound right,
189
681680
3400
11:25
in order to get that word said quickly enough as an unstressed word.
190
685080
4960
11:30
Winner in this game is?
191
690040
1580
11:31
Winner in this game is?
192
691620
1520
11:33
Winner in this game is?
193
693140
1320
11:34
Game is, game is. The word ‘is’ is pronounced IH as in sit, Z.
194
694460
5380
11:39
So don't make it ‘is’ but: is, is, is. This is weak, you don't have to go izzz--
195
699840
6400
11:46
and really put a lot of energy into that sound, just make sure it's not a strong S, is, is, is.
196
706240
6540
11:52
Game is.
197
712780
2900
11:55
It’s you.
198
715680
1000
11:56
It’s you. It’s you. More stress on you. It’s you.
199
716680
6960
12:03
Than on its. But both words pretty clearly pronounced. It’s you. It’s you. Nice and smooth.
200
723640
7180
12:10
It’s you.
201
730820
1080
12:11
It’s you.
202
731900
1540
12:13
It’s you.
203
733440
860
12:14
You know who the second biggest winner is?
204
734300
1760
12:16
You know who the second biggest winner is?
205
736060
9000
12:25
So we have a few more syllables here with this length. Let's look at the word you.
206
745060
4860
12:29
I think I hear a reduction. Let's listen.
207
749920
3040
12:32
You know--
208
752960
2440
12:35
You know, you know. It is a reduction. So it's not you,
209
755400
4380
12:39
with the OO vowel, but it's: ye ye ye, you know, you know, you know.
210
759780
4860
12:44
Here where it was stressed, it was definitely you, but here, unstressed, it can either be the same sounds but
211
764640
7160
12:51
with an unstressed feeling, or it can be reduced, and he reduces it. Ye ye ye ye you know, you know.
212
771800
7460
12:59
You know--
213
779260
2200
13:01
who the second biggest winner is?
214
781460
1260
13:02
You know who the— who the— who the— who the—
215
782720
3640
13:06
Again, low in pitch, flat, simplify this voiced TH, You know who the— You know who the—
216
786360
7020
13:13
You know who the—
217
793380
2820
13:16
second biggest winner is?
218
796200
1320
13:17
Second biggest winner is?
219
797520
1860
13:19
Okay so we have four words, they all have a little bit of an up down shape feeling in their stressed syllable.
220
799380
6600
13:25
We have a couple dropped sounds. Second biggest.
221
805980
5500
13:31
The D is dropped here.
222
811480
2120
13:33
So we dropped the T in biggest, we already know that,
223
813600
2980
13:36
because it's part of an ST cluster and the next word begins with a consonant.
224
816580
3980
13:40
So biggest winner, we already looked at that, but second biggest.
225
820560
4820
13:45
We also dropped that for the same reason. It comes between two consonants, especially if the consonant before was an N,
226
825380
7920
13:53
very likely we're going to drop that. Like in the phrase:
227
833300
4900
13:58
grand piano, grand piano, it's very common to drop a D in that situation, after an N,
228
838200
5980
14:04
before another consonant, grand piano.
229
844180
2640
14:06
Second biggest winner is?
230
846820
1560
14:08
Second biggest winner is?
231
848380
1600
14:09
Second biggest winner is?
232
849980
1460
14:11
Second biggest winner is? Uuhhh.
233
851440
4600
14:16
That up down shape. Really practice that when you're working with the audio. Second biggest winner is?
234
856040
8180
14:24
It's just the smooth pulse up, uhhhh, gliding together very smoothly.
235
864220
7840
14:32
Second biggest winner is?
236
872060
1720
14:33
Second biggest winner is?
237
873780
1540
14:35
Second biggest winner is?
238
875320
1200
14:36
>> Look. >> It’s you.
239
876520
1380
14:37
Look. Look.
240
877900
1940
14:39
She doesn't want to answer that question, look, look, up down shape,
241
879840
6100
14:45
two O's here. Don't say OO, it's UH like in the word push, or in the word sugar. Look, look.
242
885940
9320
14:55
Look--
243
895260
3020
14:58
And she lightly releases the K. And again she's just started talking and he butts in.
244
898280
6180
15:04
He doesn't let her finish her sentence her word before he starts talking again.
245
904460
6000
15:10
Look--
246
910460
2560
15:13
It’s you.
247
913020
940
15:13
It’s you. So just like up here,
248
913960
4100
15:18
we've got it's, on the way up, and the stress on you.
249
918060
5540
15:23
It's you. It's you. Again you, not reduced. You, you, you. It's you.
250
923600
8260
15:31
It’s you.
251
931860
1180
15:33
It’s you.
252
933040
1220
15:34
It’s you.
253
934260
2740
15:37
What are you taking home?
254
937000
1460
15:38
What are you taking home?
255
938460
1880
15:40
What are you taking home?
256
940340
3500
15:43
Lots of stress. Stress on the question word.
257
943840
3680
15:47
What are you taking-- a little bit of stress there, home?
258
947520
6020
15:53
And then quite a bit more stress there on the word home.
259
953540
3520
15:57
What are you taking home?
260
957060
1520
15:58
What are you taking home?
261
958580
1560
16:00
What are you taking home?
262
960140
900
16:01
What are you taking home? Now, let's look at how these two words are linking together.
263
961040
3760
16:04
It's not what are, so that's maybe what you learned. The pronunciation of this is what, the pronunciation of this is are,
264
964800
8000
16:12
but that's not actually how it is.
265
972800
2680
16:15
What rr-- What rr--they're linking together with the flap T. The vowel here is the UH as in butter.
266
975480
5800
16:21
The word ‘are’ is reducing to just schwa R. What rr-- What rr-- What rr--
267
981280
5260
16:26
And then there's a single flap of the tongue against the roof of the mouth for the T.
268
986540
4180
16:30
What rr-- What rr-- what are you—
269
990720
2520
16:33
What are you—
270
993240
2640
16:35
taking home?
271
995880
760
16:36
What are you taking home? Taking, taking, taking.
272
996640
3760
16:40
This is a true T because it starts a stressed syllable. What are you taking home?
273
1000400
6180
16:46
Home? And then a lot more stress there, up down shape on that OH diphthong. What are you taking home?
274
1006580
6860
16:53
Dadadadadada. What are you taking home?
275
1013440
4060
16:57
What are you taking home?
276
1017500
1360
16:58
What are you taking home?
277
1018860
1340
17:00
What are you taking home? Ten thousand--
278
1020200
1840
17:02
Ten thousand-- let's write this out.
279
1022040
4780
17:06
Ten thousand a--
280
1026820
1980
17:08
Ten thousand a night now?
281
1028800
5360
17:14
And now here, we have the word now stressed, but it's going up because this is a yes no question.
282
1034160
5300
17:19
So the first question, you can't answer it with yes or no. It's a number, it's an amount.
283
1039460
6040
17:25
So if a question is not a yes/no question, it usually goes down in pitch,
284
1045500
4560
17:30
and if it is a yes/no question, it usually goes up in pitch at the end.
285
1050060
3800
17:33
Ten thousand--
286
1053860
3200
17:37
Ten thousand--
287
1057060
3600
17:40
a night now?
288
1060660
900
17:41
Ten thousand a night now? I'd put a little bit of length on night as well.
289
1061560
4720
17:46
Ten thousand a night now?
290
1066280
2140
17:48
Ten thousand a night now?
291
1068420
1920
17:50
Ten thousand a night now?
292
1070340
1980
17:52
Ten thousand a--
293
1072320
2600
17:54
Now what's happening to this D in thousand?
294
1074920
2560
17:57
It's getting dropped, isn't it? The word ‘a’ becomes the schwa.
295
1077480
4060
18:01
And we just link those together with no d. Ten thousand a night now?
296
1081540
4620
18:06
Ten thousand a night now?
297
1086160
2040
18:08
Ten thousand a night now?
298
1088200
1940
18:10
Ten thousand a night now?
299
1090140
1900
18:12
So this is different, before, we said we would drop a D after an N if the next sound was a consonant.
300
1092040
5380
18:17
But here, it's not, it's a vowel and we're still dropping it.
301
1097420
3480
18:20
D after N is a case where we do sometimes drop that even if the next word is a vowel.
302
1100900
6740
18:27
And this is also true of T, we drop T after N a lot like in the word ‘internet’,
303
1107640
8560
18:36
that word just becomes: internet.
304
1116200
2240
18:38
So this is just one of those things, the N makes it possible
305
1118440
4520
18:42
that we're going to drop the D or a T after, and that's what happens here: Ten thousand a night now?
306
1122960
6820
18:49
Night, night, do you hear that stop T?
307
1129780
3720
18:53
Night now? So it's not released, just a little break in the line, night now, night now,
308
1133500
6880
19:00
to signify the stop quality of that T, and our ears hear that as a T.
309
1140380
5980
19:06
Ten thousand a night now?
310
1146360
1940
19:08
Ten thousand a night now?
311
1148300
2160
19:10
Ten thousand a night now?
312
1150460
1720
19:12
That is my business.
313
1152180
1680
19:13
That is my business.
314
1153860
2220
19:16
And then she puts a little break there, two thought groups.
315
1156080
3460
19:19
That is my business.
316
1159540
3220
19:22
Everything links together smoothly. She uses a flap T here to link the two words, just like we did with ‘what are’.
317
1162760
6460
19:29
That is my business.
318
1169220
2080
19:31
That is my business.
319
1171300
1820
19:33
That is my business.
320
1173120
1940
19:35
Here, the vowels are the AH vowel and the IH vowel.
321
1175060
4500
19:39
D comes between two vowels, sorry, T comes between two vowels make that a flap.
322
1179560
6560
19:46
That is my-- that is my—
323
1186120
2740
19:48
That is my—
324
1188860
1040
19:49
That is my—
325
1189900
1360
19:51
That is my—
326
1191260
1160
19:52
Business. Now this is a word that kind of looks like it should be three syllables.
327
1192420
4700
19:57
Business, business, but it's not, there is no middle syllable there.
328
1197120
5660
20:02
Bus-- B consonant, IH vowel, Z consonant: bus—ness-- and then N,
329
1202780
9580
20:12
IH and S in the unstressed syllable.
330
1212360
3540
20:15
So here the S is a Z. Make sure you're making that a Z sound: biz—biz—
331
1215900
4300
20:20
Business, business.
332
1220200
2520
20:22
Business--
333
1222720
2460
20:25
Business, literally.
334
1225180
1700
20:26
Literally. First syllable stress and the other syllables just come in on the way down.
335
1226880
5540
20:32
Literally.
336
1232420
3720
20:36
Flap T because it comes between two vowels and it does not start a stressed syllable.
337
1236140
5120
20:41
Literally. Literally.
338
1241260
5360
20:46
Literally.
339
1246620
1360
20:47
Literally.
340
1247980
1260
20:49
Literally.
341
1249240
980
20:50
So why does she say literally? We do use: ‘That is my business’ as a phrase to mean
342
1250220
6520
20:56
it doesn't concern you. For example, if someone said:
343
1256740
4180
21:00
Rachel, you shouldn't let Stoney eat ice cream every night.
344
1260920
3420
21:04
I might say: That's my business. Or: Mind your own business. Or: Whatever.
345
1264340
4160
21:08
And that means this doesn't concern you. I don't want your input on it.
346
1268500
5360
21:13
But she's talking about how she makes her money, her business,
347
1273860
5040
21:18
and so she says: That is my business, literally.
348
1278900
3900
21:22
So she's saying it in two ways. One, this doesn't concern you how much I make a night, and two,
349
1282800
6940
21:29
this is literally my income, how I make my money, how I run my business. That is my business, literally.
350
1289740
7360
21:37
That is my business, literally.
351
1297100
2640
21:39
That is my business, literally.
352
1299740
2460
21:42
That is my business, literally.
353
1302200
1900
21:44
Between you, the dealers, and the servers--
354
1304100
2600
21:46
Okay, so now he lists three things. Between you, pitch goes up, between you,
355
1306700
7900
21:54
the dealers, and the servers.
356
1314600
4860
21:59
So when we list, we tend to make the pitch go up
357
1319460
2800
22:02
for each item, until we get to the end and then the pitch goes down.
358
1322260
3220
22:05
Between you, the dealers, and the servers—
359
1325480
4980
22:10
Between you, the dealers, and the servers—
360
1330460
2740
22:13
Between you, the dealers, and the servers—
361
1333200
2920
22:16
Between you, the dealers, and the servers—
362
1336120
2480
22:18
Notice the T in between is a true T. That's because it starts a stressed syllable. Between you.
363
1338600
6420
22:25
Between you--
364
1345020
3600
22:28
the dealers.
365
1348620
1220
22:29
The dealers-- now we're going to want that simplified TH, not the, but the, the, the.
366
1349840
7820
22:37
The dealers, the dealers.
367
1357660
2820
22:40
The dealers,
368
1360480
3440
22:43
and the servers—
369
1363920
1060
22:44
And the servers— and the servers— And, and, dropped D there.
370
1364980
5680
22:50
And the servers. There's a little bit of a, and the, a little bit of an up down shape there.
371
1370660
6240
22:56
And is something that we don't usually stress but he's stressing that because he wants to really
372
1376900
7460
23:04
emphasize the fact that there are multiple ways that he is losing money in this game.
373
1384360
5720
23:10
You, the dealers, and the servers.
374
1390080
3500
23:13
And the servers—
375
1393580
3340
23:16
You’re taking a lot of money out of this game.
376
1396920
1760
23:18
Okay, then he keeps going, no break, this Z sound links right into the Y sound. We have a reduction here.
377
1398680
7080
23:25
It's not your, it's yer. Servers you’re-- servers you’re— servers you’re—
378
1405760
6260
23:32
Servers you’re--
379
1412020
3060
23:35
taking a lot of money out of this game.
380
1415080
1720
23:36
Servers, you're taking a lot of money out of this game.
381
1416800
7700
23:44
Those are our longer, more stressed words. The T in taking is a true T because it starts a stressed syllable.
382
1424500
8200
23:52
Taking a-- So we have two unstressed syllables here, everything links together.
383
1432700
6160
23:58
Taking a, taking a, taking a lot, taking a lot.
384
1438860
6340
24:05
Taking a lot
385
1445200
2860
24:08
of money out of this game.
386
1448060
980
24:09
A lot of-- So we have another T between vowels, so that's going to be a flap T.
387
1449040
6520
24:15
The word of is reduced, it's just the schwa.
388
1455560
3240
24:18
A lot of-- A lot of-- A lot of—
389
1458800
3480
24:22
Taking a lot of--
390
1462280
2740
24:25
money out of this game.
391
1465020
1200
24:26
Then we have the word money, stressed, first syllable stress,
392
1466220
4280
24:30
money, and that vowel in the stress syllable is the UH as in butter vowel.
393
1470500
5080
24:35
Money. Money. A lot of money.
394
1475580
3000
24:38
Linking together smoothly, no breaks, a lot of money.
395
1478580
3680
24:42
A lot of money--
396
1482260
2940
24:45
out of this game.
397
1485200
1120
24:46
A lot of money out of this game. So then we have three more unstressed words,
398
1486320
4680
24:51
plus the unstressed syllable here: ney out of this-- ney out of this-- ney out of this—
399
1491000
4880
24:55
ney out of this game, money out of this game.
400
1495880
4100
24:59
How are ’out of this’ pronounced?
401
1499980
3640
25:03
Out of this game.
402
1503620
3540
25:07
Out of this game, out of this, out of this, out of this.
403
1507160
3880
25:11
The word of again is reduced entirely to the schwa. Out of, out of, out of.
404
1511040
5620
25:16
So this becomes a flap T linking together two vowel diphthong sounds here, it's the OW diphthong.
405
1516660
6080
25:22
Out of, out of, out of. Out of this, out of this. Again, don't try to say: this, this, that's too much TH, simplify it.
406
1522740
8680
25:31
This, this, this, this. Out of this, out of this, out of this, out of this game.
407
1531420
5720
25:37
Out of this game.
408
1537140
3920
25:41
Intense conversation. Let's listen to it one more time.
409
1541060
3660
25:44
These guys want to play cards with me, not you.
410
1544720
2480
25:47
Be that as may…
411
1547200
1180
25:48
You know who the biggest winner in this game is?
412
1548380
1660
25:50
It’s you.
413
1550040
740
25:50
You know who the second biggest winner is?
414
1550780
1480
25:52
>> Look. >> It’s you.
415
1552260
2980
25:55
What are you taking home? 10,000 a night now?
416
1555240
2280
25:57
That is my business, literally.
417
1557520
2020
25:59
Between you, the dealers, and the servers, you’re taking a lot of money out of this game.
418
1559540
4280
26:03
Now for the fun part, you’ll look at the notes we took together
419
1563820
3560
26:07
and you’ll hear a part of the conversation on a loop three times.
420
1567380
3720
26:11
Then there’s a space for you to repeat. For example, you’ll hear this:
421
1571100
4580
26:15
Maybe so, sir.
422
1575680
3300
26:18
Then you’ll repeat it: maybe so, sir. Try to imitate everything about this exactly
423
1578980
5740
26:24
so when you see this,
424
1584720
2280
26:29
then you’ll repeat it. Maybe so, sir
425
1589100
2300
26:32
That’s from Top Gun: Maverick, which was the first movie we studied in this summer series.
426
1592000
5620
26:37
You’ll also have the opportunity to listen and repeat in slow motion.
427
1597620
3880
26:41
This will be important for you if you’re more of a beginner, or if you’re having a hard time
428
1601500
4500
26:46
focusing on linking or the melody.
429
1606000
3100
26:49
Maybe you’ll want to do it both ways, but the important thing is here is your opportunity
430
1609100
5140
26:54
to take what you learned and put it into your body and your own habit.
431
1614240
4740
26:58
That’s what’s going to transform your speaking.
432
1618980
2860
27:01
You might do well to work with the audio section of this video every day for a week.
433
1621840
4740
27:06
Imitating the rhythm and the simplifications will get easier each time you do it.
434
1626580
5360
27:11
If you can’t keep up with the native speaker, do the slow-motion imitation.
435
1631940
4500
27:16
Okay, here’s our audio training section.
436
1636440
3080
33:37
Don’t forget to come back and do this audio again tomorrow and the next day.
437
2017840
4300
33:42
You want to build habits here so you don’t need to think about it so much when you’re speaking in conversation.
438
2022140
5900
33:48
You can focus on the words and not the expression or pronunciation.
439
2028040
4320
33:52
Don’t forget this is part of a series all summer long, 13 videos, 13 scenes for movies check out each one,
