Valley girl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent29\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Okay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent30\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: So my whole life<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent31\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">they were obsessed with this idea<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent32\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">that I enunciate and I pronounce<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent33\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">things properly and fully<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent34\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and I not use the word \u2018like\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent35\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: That\u2019s a habit that a lot of people have.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent36\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So how did they get you to break this habit?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent37\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: Well, my Mom decided<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent38\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">that the best way to enforce this would be<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent39\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">to have my little brother<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent40\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">to count all the times I said the word \u2018like.\u2019<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent41\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So when I was thirteen years old,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent42\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">we\u2019d be driving around<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent43\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and my eight year old brother<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent44\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">would be counting twelve, thirteen, fourteen,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent45\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and it was really annoying,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent46\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and it really did the job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent47\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Yeah.<br \/>J: It really got me\u00a0<\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent48\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">to stop saying the word \u2018like.\u2019<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent49\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">The other thing that was a pet peeve of my<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent50\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">parents was the upward intonation and when<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent51\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">people talk like this \u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent51\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\"> R: Typical in California.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent52\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: Very typical of Southern California.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent53\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">People talk like this,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent54\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and they say this is what I\u2019m going to do.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent55\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And it makes everything sound<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent56\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">like you\u2019re asking a question.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent57\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It makes you sound really uncertain.<br \/>R: Right, so the voice goes\u00a0<\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent58\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">up in pitch at the end.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent59\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And it makes it sound like<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent60\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you\u2019re asking a yes\/no question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent61\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: Even if you\u2019re not asking a question,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent62\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you always sound unsure of yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent63\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Right, it\u2019s a good point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent64\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: So my parents really encouraged me to not<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent65\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">adopt that habit and I\u2019m really glad they did.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent66\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Because it has helped me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent67\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Intonation matters.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent68\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Notice how Ms. Boorstin says,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent69\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">when every sentence goes up in pitch at the<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent70\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">end, it makes you sound unsure of yourself.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent71\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Because it makes you sound like<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent72\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you are asking something,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent73\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">rather than making a statement.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent74\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So for example the phrase,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent75\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I\u2019m going to the store.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent76\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Going up in pitch<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent77\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">makes it sound like you\u2019re asking permission.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent78\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I\u2019m going to the store.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent79\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">But, I\u2019m going to the store.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent80\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Going down in pitch sounds like a statement.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent81\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Generally the only phrases that should go up<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent82\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">in pitch are yes\/no questions.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent83\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Check out these videos<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent84\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">on intonation and questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent85\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So when you\u2019re preparing a text to read on<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent86\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">camera do you have any tips or tricks?<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent87\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">What do you do?<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent88\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">How much time do you take with the text?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent89\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: Well, you like to take lot of time if it\u2019s<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent90\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">possible, every once in a while<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent91\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you have to just grab a script and go with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent92\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Yeah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent93\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: But I like to take a little bit of time to<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent94\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">read through it at least once, usually twice<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent95\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and read through with a pen and I try to<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent96\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">circle the words that are most important in<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent97\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">each sentence. And just really try to think<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent98\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">about, what\u2019s the idea I\u2019m communicating here.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent99\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And every once in a while you\u2019ll find<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent100\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">yourself emphasizing a random word that\u2019s not<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent101\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">really what the sentence is about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent102\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Right.<br \/>J: So, to just figure\u00a0<\/span>out what the key thing is.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent103\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\"> R: That\u2019s a great tip. \u00a0<\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent104\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Look for the key, circle it and then go to it<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent105\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">when you\u2019re speaking. Fantastic!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent105\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\"> J: And I find it\u00a0<\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent106\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">really helpful. And I also like to read<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent107\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">things out loud. And you can hear something,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent108\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you\u2019re like, oh that doesn\u2019t really make<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent109\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">sense if I say it that way, what if I put the<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent110\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">stress on the name of the person who I\u2019m<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent111\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">talking about, maybe that would work better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent112\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Awesome, thank you for that tip. I love it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent113\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Great tips here, guys. If you\u2019re preparing a<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent114\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">text for presentation, circle the most<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent115\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">important words and practice stressing them,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent116\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">practice reading out loud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent117\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: So what do you do when you\u2019re preparing a<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent118\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">text, if you come across a word that you\u2019re<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent119\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">not sure how to pronounce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent120\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: Sometimes especially with foreign names,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent121\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">it\u2019s really hard,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent122\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">don\u2019t know how to say it.<br \/>R: Right, you have no context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent123\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: So I really think it\u2019s important just to<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent124\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">call someone, I usually call the CNBC News<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent125\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">desk, we have lots of very smart people who<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent126\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">speak many languages and it\u2019s just the best<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent127\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">way to get a quick answer. And you could look<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent128\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">something up online and you\u2019ll see the<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent129\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">phonetic explanation of how to pronounce a<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent130\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">name. But it\u2019s just different, you just have<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent131\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">to hear it in your ear so I always try to go<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent132\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">for that solution.<br \/>R: Right,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent133\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and for my non-native speakers out there as<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent134\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you know a lot of online dictionaries have a<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent135\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">little icon of a speaker that you can press<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent136\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">to hear a native speaker saying the word,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent137\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">so if the phonetics don\u2019t make sense to you,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent138\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">that\u2019s a great option for actually hearing it,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent139\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">so that you can then repeat it back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent140\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: I didn\u2019t realize that,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent141\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I\u2019ll need to check that out.<br \/>R: Yes,&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent142\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So are there any words that are particularly<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent143\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">hard for you to pronounce in American English?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent144\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: I don\u2019t think that I have any funny words.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent145\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">But my husband thinks that I pronounce the<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent146\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">word \u2018experiment\u2019 funny, and he thinks<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent147\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I always say, \u2018experiment\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent148\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Experiment.<br \/>J: Experiment,<br \/>R: Okay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent149\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: instead of experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent150\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Right, so you\u2019re sort of<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent151\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">mixing Spearmint gum<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent152\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: Exactly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent153\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: with experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent154\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: Well, think about it. Experimenting is so<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent155\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">exciting and refreshing it\u2019s&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent156\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: It is.<br \/>J: \u2026\u2026..sort of like spearmint \u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent157\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: It is like Spearmint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent158\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">J: I\u2019m very, very conscious of that<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent159\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">The word \u2018experiment,\u2019 has the EH as in BED<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent160\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">vowel in the stressed syllable. Experiment,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent161\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">da-DA-da-da, experiment. Ex-pe-ri-ment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent162\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Ms. Boorstin admits that sometimes she puts<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent163\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">in the EE as in SHE vowel instead. This is<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent164\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">not an official acceptable pronunciation,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent165\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">but I\u2019m sure she\u2019s not the only one I\u2019ve<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent166\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">heard change the vowel this way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent167\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">R: Alright, well thank you Julia so much<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent168\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">for joining me here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent169\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Follow Ms. Boorstin on Twitter and check out<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent170\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">her segments on TV or online, for a great<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent171\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">example of American English pronunciation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent172\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">That\u2019s it, and thanks so much for using<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent173\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Rachel\u2019s English.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a name=\"video\"><\/a><strong>Video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-173776-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/304%20-%20JULIA%20BOORSTIN%20--%20Interview%20a%20Broadcaster%20--%20American%20Englis.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/304%20-%20JULIA%20BOORSTIN%20--%20Interview%20a%20Broadcaster%20--%20American%20Englis.mp4\">https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/304%20-%20JULIA%20BOORSTIN%20--%20Interview%20a%20Broadcaster%20--%20American%20Englis.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study conversational English in this interview with NBC Broadcaster Julia Boorstin.
