So out pitch is going up towards the end. That\u2019s common for yes no questions. So, we have a couple stressed syllables, let\u2019s listen for them.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anyone hear from Phoebe yet?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anyone hear from.

Anyone, three syllable word with first syllable stress.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anyone hear from Phoebe yet?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Phoebe yet? So, then we backed up. So, Phoebe, also stressed but rather than going up down, the stress here goes down up. Phoebe yet? Because we\u2019re heading up, because of it being a yes no question. Phoebe yet?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Phoebe yet?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Phoebe yet? And we have a stop T there, he doesn\u2019t release that air stop T yet just an abrupt stop. That is the most the most common pronunciation of an ending T at the end of a thought group. Let\u2019s look at our linking and things that are happening with the pronunciation in this phrase.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anyone hear from Phoebe yet?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I want to pop in to give a huge thanks to my supporters here on Youtube via the channel membership.

Anyone hear from. So, do you hear how I\u2019m saying this. I\u2019m not saying from. I\u2019m saying from, from. That\u2019s exactly how Ross said it so this word reduces. We change from the uh as in butter vowel. From, to the schwa. From, from, from. The schwa gets absorbed by that M so you can think of there being no vowel there. From, from, hear from.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anyone hear from&#8211;\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The word \u2018hear\u2019, if you look this up in a dictionary, you\u2019ll see it\u2019s got the ih as in sit vowel, but when that vowel is followed by schwa R like it is here, it changes, it becomes a vowel more like the E vowel. So it\u2019s not e but he-ee, hear, hear.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anyone hear from&#8211;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anyone hear from, anyone hear from, anyone hear from.

So, the ph makes the F sound, Phoebe.

Uhuuhuh. If we slow that down, you would really hear that shape of stress, no, nothing. So two up down shapes of stress, we have the oh diphthong, she makes a little bit relaxed, it\u2019s not no but more like no, no, no, no, nothing.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">No, nothing.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now here, the O, the letter O makes the uh as in butter vowel. So, even though it looks like n-o, n-o, the pronunciation would be the same, that is not true. No, nothing. Now, t-h-i-n-g, she does not make that an NG ending, she doesn\u2019t say nothing, she says nothing, nothing. So, making the NG ending just an N ending, ih as in sit n and nothing.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nothing.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I hope she\u2019s okay.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Okay, Monica\u2019s response.

Uhuhuh. Definitely hear that pitch change. I hope she\u2019s. And then we have okay. Also an up down shape of stress there. So, we have hope and K. Now, the word I, that\u2019s the I diphthong. It\u2019s unstressed here, I don\u2019t really hear her pronouncing both of those sounds, I.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I hope she\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s more like a, a, I hope, I hope, I hope she\u2019s okay.

So, let\u2019s talk about our p. This is a stop consonant, hope. A stop consonant is a stop of air and a release. But it\u2019s really common in stop consonants not to make the release when the next sound is a consonant. Here the next sound is the sh consonant. So it\u2019s not hope she\u2019s. But it\u2019s just hope she\u2019s, hope, my lips come together for the P but I skip the release rather than that escape of air, we go right into the sh consonant, hope she\u2019s. But there is that little tiny lift break, that\u2019s the stop of the stop consonant as my lips come together. Hope she\u2019s. I hope she\u2019s, I hope she\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I hope she\u2019s &#8212;\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I hope she\u2019s okay.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Okay, okay.
