American English (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2xMGeNQ9lBI)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/p>\n<p><h2>Video Transcript:<\/h2><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Hey guys, I\u2019m on my way to take a look at my wedding venue. You\u2019re going to come along and study American English pronunciation in this real life English video.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In today\u2019s video, we\u2019re going to do a listening comprehension quiz on two-syllable words. Can you identify which syllable is stressed? Why does it matter? Even if all of the sounds in a word are correct, one must speak with long vs. short syllables in order to sound American. One of the main things I work on with advanced students is shortening short syllables. It has an amazing impact on reducing their accent. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; So, the space that we\u2019re getting married in used to be a chocolate factory, about a century ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Getting. What syllable is stressed, is longer? Does it sound like DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Getting, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; The space that we\u2019re getting married in [3x]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Married. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Married, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; The space that we\u2019re getting married in [3x] used to be a chocolate factory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Chocolate. Wait, is this a two-syllable or a three-syllable word? Choc-late, choc-o-late. There are many words in English with first syllable stress that can be pronounced with either 2 or 3 syllables, I tend to pronounce them with 2. Chocolate. Other examples: family, restaurant. Chocolate, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Used to be a chocolate [3x] factory about a century ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">About. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>About, da-DA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Used to be a chocolate factory about a century [3x] ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Ago. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Ago, da-DA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Used to be a chocolate factory about a century ago [3x].<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; So, the space that we\u2019re getting married in used to be a chocolate factory, about a century ago. And now \u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">And now it\u2019s a photography studio, painted all white with hardwood floors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Painted. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Painted, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; \u2026painted all [3x] white with hardwood floors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Hardwood. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Hardwood, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">This is a compound word. Most compound words have stress on the first word. Compound words are words made by putting two other words together. Other examples: bedroom, keyboard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; With hardwood floors [3x]. It\u2019s a little industrial, as you can see.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Little. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Little, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; It\u2019s a little industrial [3x], as you can see. Exposed brick up there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Exposed. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Exposed, da-DA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Exposed brick [3x] up there. Wa\u2014um. Metal rafters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Metal. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Metal, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Wa\u2014um. Metal rafters [3x].<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Rafters. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Rafters, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Metal rafters [3x].<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; And now it\u2019s a photography studio, painted all white with hardwood floors. It\u2019s a little industrial as you can see. Exposed brick up there. Wa\u2014um. Metal rafters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">This used to be the smokestack of the factory.<br \/>Smokestack: another compound word. What does that mean? Stress is probably on the first syllable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Smokestack, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; This used to be the smokestack [3x]. And yeah, this is where we\u2019re going to do it. Where we\u2019re going to get married.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Gonna. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Gonna, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; And yeah. This is where we\u2019re gonna [3x] do it, where we\u2019re gonna get married. So we came back today\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Today. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Today, da-DA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; So we came back today [3x] so that we could, sort of, think about decorations and layout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Layout. Another compound word. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Layout, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; \u2026sort of, think about decorations and layout [3x]. But I\u2019m really excited about the space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Really. DA-da or da-DA?<br \/>Really, DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; But I\u2019m really [3x] excited about the space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; This used to be the smokestack of the factory. And, yeah, this is where we\u2019re gonna do it. Where we\u2019re gonna get married. So we came back today so that we could, sort of, think about decorations and layout. But I\u2019m really excited about the space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Now it gets harder. You won\u2019t hear the word on its own, slowly, outside of the sentence. You\u2019ll only hear the word in the sentence. Can you still tell which syllable is stressed?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; I think, I think these tables come with the space. These high tables.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; I think these tables come with the space. These high tables. Yeah. Exciting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Another three-syllable word that I\u2019ve turned into a two-syllable word.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; So, I think the tables are gonna go here. And the bar is probably going to be somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; And the bar is probably going to be somewhere else.<br \/>&gt;&gt; And the bar is probably going to be somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Is probably going to be somewhere else.<br \/>&gt;&gt; We are having alcohol at our wedding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da. The \u2013ing ending will never be stressed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; We are having alcohol at our wedding.<br \/>&gt;&gt; We are having alcohol at our wedding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; We are having alcohol at our wedding. Some people choose not to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Some people choose not to&#8230;<br \/>&gt;&gt; although most people do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">da-DA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Although most people do. And we\u2019re getting married, and having the reception all here in this same space. It used to be really typical to get married in a church, less so now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Most of my cousins have gotten married outside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Most of my cousins have gotten married outside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Most of my cousins have gotten married outside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da. Outside can actually have stress on either the first or the second syllable, depending on how you\u2019re using it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Most of my cousins have gotten married outside. A lot of my friends as well. We can\u2019t do that because it\u2019s going to be January in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">da-DA. I could have reduced this further to just \u2018cuz\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; We can\u2019t do that because it\u2019s going to be January in Philadelphia.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Um, but hopefully this will be just as lovely!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Um, but hopefully this will be just as lovely! We\u2019re going to have lots of candles. Everywhere, candles, candles, candles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; We\u2019re going to have lots of candles. Everywhere, candles, candles, candles. And, um, the chocolate that used to be made in this factory.<br \/>&gt;&gt; It was the precursor to the Hershey\u2019s kiss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; It was the precursor to the Hershey\u2019s kiss. It\u2019s shaped the same, it\u2019s called a Wilburbud.<br \/>&gt;&gt; And we\u2019re gonna have a lot of those for our guests to enjoy as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">da-DA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; And we\u2019re gonna have a lot of those for our guests to enjoy as well.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Unless we eat them all before the wedding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">da-DA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Unless we eat them all before the wedding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">da-DA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Unless we eat them all before the wedding.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Which might happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Which might happen.<br \/>&gt;&gt; Um, we are going to have a full dinner for our guests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; Um, we are going to have a full dinner for our guests.<br \/>&gt;&gt; That\u2019s pretty typical as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">DA-da.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; That\u2019s pretty typical as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; So, I guess I\u2019m curious about, if you\u2019ve been married before, what was your wedding like? What was the space like? The venue. Was it outdoors, indoors, was it in a church? So let me know in the comments below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&gt;&gt; So, I guess I\u2019m curious about, if you\u2019ve been married before, what was your wedding like?
