English Conversation Analysis from TV (Baskets) 📺 #rachelsenglish #EnglishConversationAnalysis

This is a really interesting motorcycle.

I don't hear ‘this is’ I here – S-is,  

s-is a, s-is a really interesting motorcycle.  So every once in a while, with words like that,  

when that's reduced, we'll drop the TH. And  I'm not really hearing a TH, it almost sounds  

like an S. I'm not saying you need to do this  as a reduction but that's sort of what I'm  

hearing – S-is a, s-is a, s-is a really. This is a really.

This is a really--

interesting motorcycle.

This is a really interesting motorcycle.  

So the clarity in these three words is  so different from our stressed syllables.

This is a really interesting motorcycle. So  all of those words have first syllable stress:  

Really, interesting, motorcycle.

This is a really interesting motorcycle.
