Welcome to the new Rachel&#8217;s English mini series, Interview a Broadcaster!<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent2\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\"><\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent3\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Hey guys. I&#8217;m here with Kate Snow. Could you tell us a little bit about what you do?<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent4\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; I am a national correspondent for NBC News based in New York City.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent5\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Oh. I am also based in New York City. Now, I don&#8217;t know if you know this, but another<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent6\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">term for the standard American accent is &#8216;broadcaster English&#8217;. So people all over the<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent7\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">world are looking to those who deliver news in America as a standard for how they might<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent8\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">want to speak American English.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Which is a little scary. We&#8217;re not always perfect.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent9\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; That&#8217;s true. That&#8217;s fair. Um, but I&#8217;m curious, where are you from? Did you have to<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent10\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">change anything about how you grew up speaking English as you went into this field?<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent11\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; That&#8217;s a great question. I actually find this subject fascinating because there are so<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent12\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">many accents in America. I grew up in upstate New York.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Okay.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent13\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; So, not New York City, but way north, going towards Canada. Um, and, I had an<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent14\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">upstate New York accent, which,<br \/>&gt;&gt; Okay.<br \/>&gt;&gt; luckily, is not a very harsh accent.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent15\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It&#8217;s sort of midwestern. It sort of sounds like Ohio,<br \/>&gt;&gt; Okay.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Illinois English.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent16\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Um, but there are,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent17\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">there are little things that I<br \/>&gt;&gt; Okay.<br \/>&gt;&gt; know now because I&#8217;ve had to work past them.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent18\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; So people have been pointing out, this isn&#8217;t quite right, we need you to change this,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent19\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">or how have you figured out things that need to be\u2026<br \/>&gt;&gt; Yeah,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent20\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">early on. Early on, when I started doing television, which is 20 years ago,<br \/>&gt;&gt; Uh-huh,<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent21\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I pretty quickly discovered that, for example, you&#8217;re not supposed to say &#8216;mountain&#8217;, that&#8217;s<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent22\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">how I grew up saying<br \/>&gt;&gt; Yeah.<br \/>&gt;&gt; &#8216;mountain&#8217;,<br \/>&gt;&gt; Uh-huh,<br \/>mountain, like a peak,<br \/>&gt;&gt; Right.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent23\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; I would say &#8216;mountain&#8217;,<br \/>&gt;&gt; Uh-huh.<br \/>&gt;&gt; &#8216;mountain&#8217;. Or, on your shirt is a button.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent24\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Uh-huh,<br \/>&gt;&gt; Button.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Right.<br \/>&gt;&gt; That&#8217;s a very, sort of a glottal stop or something.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent25\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; So on camera, they&#8217;re saying, make it a real T sound<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent26\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Button,<br \/>&gt;&gt; Uh-huh,<br \/>&gt;&gt; button.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Button.<br \/>&gt;&gt; So, I&#8217;ve had to teach myself.<\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent27\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I&#8217;ve had a lot of people ask me over the years about the pronunciation of words with a<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent28\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">T-schwa-N, like &#8216;mountain&#8217;, &#8216;button&#8217;, &#8216;sentence&#8217;. It&#8217;s true when we&#8217;re speaking on<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent29\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">TV or into a microphone that we tend to make more True T pronunciations. I actually tell<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent30\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">my students it&#8217;s ok to make a Stop T here, but be careful about the next vowel. In some<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent31\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">regions in the United States, people will say &#8216;mountain&#8217;, &#8216;button&#8217;, with more of<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent32\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">an EH as in BED vowel. We want that to be a schwa. &#8216;Mountain&#8217;, &#8216;button&#8217;.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent33\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Though certainly, in some more formal situations,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent34\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">more people will make a True T: mountain, button, sentence.<\/span><span id=\"STtranscriptContent35\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; And even now, at NBC news, I&#8217;ll sometimes be in our tracking booth with a microphone<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent36\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">recording my voice, and I&#8217;ll have to pause and say, &#8216;mountain&#8217;, mountain.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent37\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; So you still have to think about it sometimes.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Yeah, I do, I do.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent38\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Well, that brings me to my next question, which is, when you have a transcript that<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent39\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you&#8217;re preparing, how much time do you spend with it, do you have anything special that<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent40\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you do as you&#8217;re working with the text?<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent41\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Um, well, I write all my own pieces for NBC News.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent42\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So, for Nightly News, the TODAY show, Dateline.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent43\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Um, I often will, if I&#8217;m collaborating with a producer, I often will write many drafts.<\/span>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent44\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Many drafts. Did you notice how she dropped the T? We do this a lot when the T comes<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent45\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">between two consonants. This is easier to pronounce. Drafts, drafts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent46\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Many drafts [3x], and make changes.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent47\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And if somebody, look for Dateline, for example, they might write the first draft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent48\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">First draft. Here it was singular.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent49\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">The T wasn&#8217;t between two consonants, it was simply part of an ending consonant cluster.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent50\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">So, the T was clearly pronounced. Draft. Let&#8217;s compare &#8216;drafts&#8217; with &#8216;draft&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent51\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Drafts. Draft. [3x]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent52\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; I will go through and sort of make it my language.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Yeah.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent53\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">And take out words that I know are difficult for me. Paraph-, phrase things<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent54\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">in different ways, maybe, if I know I might stumble on a certain pronunciation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent55\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; So, speaking of, what are some of those words that are difficult?<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent56\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Any word that&#8217;s not English. I guess<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent57\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">you&#8217;re asking about English, &gt;&gt; Right. &gt;&gt; but foreign pronunciations can be<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent58\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">especially difficult.<br \/>&gt;&gt; So if you see a foreign word, place or name,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent59\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">what do you do if you don&#8217;t know how to pronounce it?<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent60\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; I write it phonetically<br \/>&gt;&gt; Okay.<br \/>&gt;&gt; in my script, in the copy that I&#8217;m going to read.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent61\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">I write out syllables,<br \/>&gt;&gt; Right.<br \/>&gt;&gt; with the emphasis in capital letters.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent62\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; And do you call an expert to get that name or place? Or?<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent63\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; It depends. We might call an expert.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent64\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">We sometimes, at NBC News, will call, if it&#8217;s a town name, we&#8217;ll call the village hall,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent65\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and ask them:<br \/>&gt;&gt; Uh-huh.<br \/>&gt;&gt; &#8220;How do you say the name of your city?&#8221;<br \/>&gt;&gt; Right.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent66\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Um, if it&#8217;s foreign, if it&#8217;s overseas, um, we have a desk in London, that often<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent67\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">knows how to pronounce, you know, Ahmadinejad or something<br \/>&gt;&gt; Right.<br \/>&gt;&gt; like that.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Right.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent68\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Yeah.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Cool. Well, do you have any favorite words in American English?<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent69\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; I have a lot of favorite words that are not necessarily TV words, though.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Uh-huh.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent70\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Like, um, persnickety.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Oh, that&#8217;s a great word.<br \/>&gt;&gt; I probably would never say<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent71\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; that word on TV<br \/>&gt;&gt; Right.<br \/>&gt;&gt; because it&#8217;s sort of odd, but<br \/>&gt;&gt; Right.<br \/>&gt;&gt; persnickety.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent72\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; But you&#8217;ve said it here, and now everyone&#8217;s going to look it up<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent73\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and increase their vocabulary.<br \/>&gt;&gt; There you go!<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent74\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; So, thank you for that.<br \/>&gt;&gt; You&#8217;re welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent75\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Persnickety means fussy, particular, picky. An example sentence:<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent76\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">it&#8217;s hard to cook for him because he&#8217;s such a persnickety eater.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent77\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">It&#8217;s a four-syllable word with stress on the second syllable.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent78\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">da-DA-da-da. Per-sni-cke-ty. Persnickety.<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent79\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">The T there will sound like a D because it comes between two vowels<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent80\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">and starts an unstressed syllable. Persnickety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent81\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Well, Kate, thank you so much for your time.<\/span><br \/><span id=\"STtranscriptContent82\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Absolutely.<br \/>&gt;&gt; I really appreciate it, I know my audience appreciates it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent83\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Follow Ms. Snow on Twitter and check out her segments on TV<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent84\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">or online for a great example of American English pronunciation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent85\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">&gt;&gt; Guys, that&#8217;s it, and thanks so much for using Rachel&#8217;s English.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"STtranscriptContent86\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">Check out all the videos in the Interview a Broadcaster series by clicking here,<\/span> <span id=\"STtranscriptContent87\" class=\"STtranscriptContent\">or on the link in the video description below.<\/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-173793-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/323%20-%20KATE%20SNOW%20--%20Interview%20a%20Broadcaster_%20--%20American%20English%20Pr.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/323%20-%20KATE%20SNOW%20--%20Interview%20a%20Broadcaster_%20--%20American%20English%20Pr.mp4\">https:\/\/07f1c47b71c75472a3cc-b7eea9689205a6672fd1aa00be922d89.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com\/323%20-%20KATE%20SNOW%20--%20Interview%20a%20Broadcaster_%20--%20American%20English%20Pr.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study conversational English in this interview with NBC Broadcaster Kate Snow.
