English Conversation (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U7V33U11YXs)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/p>\nVideo Transcript:<\/h2>\n You guys love Ben Franklin exercise\u00ae videos. They’re one of the best ways for you to improve listening comprehension and learn tricks to sound more natural when speaking English, like using specific reductions. This January, you’re getting five all new Ben Franklin exercise\u00ae videos where we do a full analysis of real American English conversations. Today’s topic, word game. Let’s get started with this analysis. First, the whole conversation.<\/p>\n
Team two, listen up.
Now, the analysis. Team two, listen up. Team two, listen up. So we had divided our family into two teams and both \u2018team\u2019 and \u2018two\u2019 are stressed. Team two. But \u2018two\u2019 is the most stressed because that is the part that makes it different from team one. And actually, I wrote that poorly. That should look like this. Team two.<\/p>\n
In English, we don’t want choppy words within a thought group. We don’t want them to feel separate. We always want them to feel very connected. The intonation, the pitch, always changes smoothly. Team two.\u00a0 So the ending M right into the T with no break. Team two, listen up. Team two. Team two. Team two, listen up.<\/p>\n
Again here, it links together. Smooth: Listen up. The T in listen is always silent. The ending N linking into the beginning vowel. Nup\u2014 listen up. Listen up. Listen up. Listen up. What’s going on with the P here? I’m not releasing it. Up. Ppp– I’m not releasing it with a puff of air, my lips closed, that cuts off the sound, that’s the stop part of the stop consonant. But then they don’t open releasing the air.<\/p>\n
This is fairly normal. It’s fairly common to drop the release part of a stop consonant when it comes at the end of a thought group. Listen up. You can see my lips come together. Listen up. That gives the idea of the P and then that’s it. I move on to my next phrase. \u2018Listen up\u2019 is a phrasal verb. How is it different from \u2018listen\u2019? It’s something you would use if you’re trying to get the attention of someone or even more often, of a group of people.<\/p>\n
This is something you might say if you feel like people have not been paying attention and now you really need them to. You’re saying: I need everyone’s attention because what I’m about to say is really important. Listen up. Listen up. Listen up. Listen up. Listen up. I’m looking at you. I’m looking at you. I say this right as someone on my team cheers me on with a little high-pitched: woot woot! That’s just something, a phrase you might use to show excitement or to cheer someone on in a competition. I’m looking at you. I’m looking at you. I’m looking at you. So I say I’m looking at you. \u2018Look\u2019 and \u2018you\u2019 get the most stress in this phrase.<\/p>\n
A couple things happen here. First of all, well, we have the contraction \u2018I am\u2019 to I’m which is said quickly: I\u2019m. I’m. I’m looking\u2014 I’m looking\u2014 \u2018Look\u2019 being the stressed syllable there, then I changed the NG sound, I just make it an N sound. Lookin. So I make the sound at the front of my mouth with the front of my tongue rather than at the back of my mouth with the back of my tongue. I’m looking at you. Lookin. I’m looking at you.\u00a0 I’m looking at you.<\/p>\n
I’m looking at you. This is a little bit more casual of a pronunciation and we definitely change the NG to the N quite a bit in -ing words but I don’t recommend doing it all the time. There’s definitely such thing as doing it too much. We tend to do it more with the -ing words that are the most common. What’s going on with \u2018at you\u2019?<\/p>\n
First of all, I reduce the vowel in \u2018at\u2019 so it’s: uh- uh- uh- the schwa. Then we hear a CH sound. Where’s that coming from? When a word ends in a T and the next word is \u2018you\u2019 or \u2018your\u2019, it’s not uncommon to combine those to link them together with a CH sound: choo\u2014 choo\u2014 at you\u2014 at you\u2014 I\u2019m looking at you. at you\u2014 at you\u2014 I\u2019m looking at you. I must have thought that somebody on my team had not been paying very good attention because I say \u2018listen up\u2019 which means what I\u2019m saying next really matters, I\u2019m about to start, and then I say \u2018I\u2019m looking at you.\u2019 specifically calling out someone on my team. I\u2019m looking at you.<\/p>\n
Three. Two. One. Then my nephew gives me a countdown for the timer. Three separate content words. Three. Two. One. All with an up-down shape of stress. Three. Two. One. We never want flat pitches in our stressed words. This up-down shape of stress, this change of pitch of intonation, is what marks a stressed syllable. It’s very natural American English to do this. Three. Two. One. Three. Two. One. Three. Two. One. Okay this is something that you use\u2026<\/p>\n
Okay this is something– So the words \u2018this\u2019 and \u2018is\u2019, they would usually be said very quickly. This is something\u2014 but as I read it, I’m still thinking about what to say, so they get made longer. This is\u2014 They’re both turned into stressed syllables but this is not how it would normally be pronounced. \u2018This is\u2019 becomes: this is\u2014 this is\u2014 this is something\u2014 this is something\u2014 That’s the change that’s important in conversational American English. Now here of course it’s not quite conversational. This is different. I’m playing a game and I’m taking more time as I’m thinking on the spot. That means thinking without prior preparation about what to say. This is something\u2014 This is something\u2014 This is something that you use\u2014 Something that you use\u2014<\/p>\n
So here we have a T followed by \u2018you\u2019. I do not make it a CH. I make it a Stop T: that you use\u2014 but I do reduce the AH vowel. \u2018That\u2019 becomes: that\u2014 that\u2014 that\u2014 This helps me say this word more quickly. That you use– That you use– That you use– That you use\u00a0 to sweep the floor. To sweep the floor– Okay, another example of an over pronunciation of a word. The word \u2018to\u2019 almost never pronounced this way in conversational English. To. Why did I do that? I was thinking of what is the right word to say.<\/p>\n
So in conversational English, it would be: to sweep\u2014 to\u2014 to\u2014 to\u2014 The OO vowel reduces to the schwa: to sweep\u2014 to sweep\u2014 to sweep the floor\u2014 to sweep the floor\u2014 to sweep the floor\u2014 to sweep the floor and you plug it in. To sweep the floor and you plug it in. Sweep. Floor. To sweep the floor. Sweep the floor. Sweep the floor. Listen to these three words and pay attention to the stress pattern. It’s long, short, long. Sweep the floor. Sweep the floor.\u00a0 Sweep the floor. Sweep the floor.<\/p>\n
So the word \u2018the\u2019 doesn’t have this up-down shape of stress. It’s flatter and it\u2019s said very quickly. the– the– the– Sweep the– sweep the– sweep the floor and you plug it in. And you plug it in\u2014 and\u2014 Drop the D so even though I hold this word out a little bit as I think and I don’t reduce the vowel, the vowel is still ah. I do drop the D, just a very common reduction of that word. You plug it in\u2014 And you plug it in– And you plug it in– And you plug it in– So here we have three words: plug it in, where you have two links of ending consonant to beginning vowel: plug it\u2014 git\u2014 git\u2014<\/p>\n
So you can think of the ending consonant G as beginning the next word git\u2014 git\u2014 plug it\u2014 plug it\u2014 plug it\u2014 That may help you link. It in\u2014 it in\u2014 it in\u2014 Here, again, we link the ending T right into the vowel IH and it changes to a flap T. Why does it do that? Because it comes between two vowels. It in\u2014 it in\u2014 it in\u2014 plug it in\u2014 plug it in\u2014 plug it in\u2014 plug it in\u2014 plug it in\u2014 \u2018Plug in\u2019 is a phrasal verb and we use this with electronics or things that charge, where you have the plug and you either insert it into the socket in the wall, or maybe you’re inserting the plug into the device itself like your phone. This is the phrasal verb to \u2018plug in\u2019. Plug it in\u2014 plug it in\u2014 plug it in\u2014 People guess broom. Broom. No, you don’t plug a broom in. This was my, my main clue: sweep.<\/p>\n
Of course people are going to guess broom but when I said plug it in, remember this has to do with electronics, so that was my big clue. It’s not a broom. No, you plug it in. Okay so there’s some shouting here. I say \u2018no, you plug it in.\u2019 no. No. Just like \u2018Three. Two. One.\u2019, it’s a one word thought group, and it has that up-down shape. No. Then I say \u2018you plug it in\u2019 as people are yelling and again we have this nice linking ending G into the beginning vowel and then the flap T to link these two words. Plug it in. And as I do that, they get, they get the idea. \u2018Vacuum\u2019, they yell.<\/p>\n
– Broom.<\/p>\n
– Vacuum! – Broom.<\/p>\n
– Vacuum! – Broom.<\/p>\n
– Vacuum! But I need to get them to say \u2018vacuum cleaner\u2019 so I give them one more clue.<\/p>\n
– Broom.<\/p>\n
– Vacuum!<\/p>\n
Uh, it\u2019s two words.<\/p>\n
It’s two words. ‘Two words’ stress there. ‘The word \u2018it’s\u2019 lower in pitch, flatter, faster. Two words. Two words.\u00a0 Two words.<\/p>\n
– Two words.<\/p>\n
– Vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaner.<\/p>\n
So now they’re stressing \u2018clean\u2019 because that\u2019s what makes the word different from vacuum. Although normally, in a compound word like this, it’s the first word that is stressed, so that would be: vacuum cleaner. Other examples of compound words: eyeball. First word is stressed. Mailman. First word is stressed. Basketball. First word is stressed. In this case, well as always, it’s only the stressed syllable. So bas\u2014 basketball. The first syllable is stressed. Compound words, first word is stressed. Let’s listen to the whole conversation one more time.<\/p>\n
