In today's video you're going to learn English with movies, and when we study this way,

様態の副詞

you'll be able to understand American movies and TV effortlessly, without subtitles.

Today's video uses the trailer for the movie Top Gun: Maverick.

You know, this movie was supposed to be out this month for a summer blockbuster, but because

of the coronavirus, it got pushed back to December. We'll see what happens.

We're going to go as in-depth as we can on the way Americans speak, how they speak,

so you'll not only be able to understand everything, but you're going to understand what Americans do

with English, in a way that will allow you to imitate perfectly. You might be the next Tom Cruise.

June through August, stick with me every Tuesday, they're all great scenes and there's going to be so

much to learn that can transform the way you speak and understand English.

And as always, if you like this video or you learn something, please like and subscribe with notifications.

You're going to watch the clip then we're going to do a full pronunciation analysis together.

This is going to help so much with your listening comprehension

when it comes to watching English movies in TV. But there's going to be a training section.

You're going to take what you've just learned and practice repeating it, doing a reduction, flapping a T,

just like you learned in analysis. Okay, here's the scene.

Thirty plus years of service. Combat medals. Citations.

Only man to shoot down three enemy planes in the last forty years.

Yet you can' get a promotion, you won't retire.

Despite your best efforts, you refuse to die.

You should be at least a two-star admiral by now.

The end is inevitable, Maverick. Your kind is headed for extinction.

Okay to start, let's go ahead and write out thirty and plus. It would almost always be written this way

with the digit and then the plus sign, but as we talked about the sounds, we'll write it out.

Now you probably noticed that the T in thirty is a flap T.

This follows the rules in that it comes after an R before a vowel. Like in dirty, this is a T that we would flap.

So rather than being ttt, a true T, the tongue simply flaps against the roof of the mouth. Thirty da-da-da thirty.

And we have first syllable stress on thirty.

Thirty, so stressed, then unstressed, the ending unstressed EE sound. Thirty plus--

Thirty plus-- thirty plus-- thirty plus years of service.

Some stress on plus, then we also have stress on years, and ser--vice.

So of and --vice, are both unstressed. Thirty plus years of service.

Thirty plus years of service. So those are our longer syllables with the up-down shape of stress.

The other syllables are going to be shorter, but everything links together we don't want to feel

any separation between the words. Thirty plus years of service, would not be natural sounding American English.

We need this contrast and then we also need the linking. Thirty plus years of service. No breaks there.

Okay, now in this little two-word phrase, you tell me what are the most stressed syllables?

Combat medals. The most stress probably on combat, the adjective here describing the kind of medal.

Combat medals. And then also some stress on the noun. Combat medals. The second syllable of combat

is unstressed, it has a stop T, bat bat bat, because the next word begins with a consonant.

So again, the T is not released. Combat medals. Medals.

This D can also be a flap just like thirty, medals, rararara, because it comes between two vowel sounds.

Here, it's the EH as in bed vowel and then the schwa L combination. Medals, medals, medals. Combat medals.

The vowel here in the unstressed syllable is AH, but we don't want it to be AA,

that would be stressed, we want it to be ah, ah, combat, combat medals.

Citations. Do you feel how it's that middle syllable that's stressed? Citations.

The letter A here is TAY, the AY as in say diphthong. That letter A can have several different pronunciations.

Here it's: ay, ay, citations. The letter C makes the S sound.

The letter I makes the AI diphthong. The letter I, so many of the letters, almost all of the letters in American English

can have various different pronunciations, which makes English so hard you can't necessarily tell

the pronunciation by looking at it. Citations. SH schwa N, and then Z, a weak ending Z sound.

The stress is really important in American English. We want to know what stressed, and what's unstressed,

so that we can feel that we make a peak on that stressed syllable. We definitely don't want all syllables

to feel the same. Citations. That would have the right pitch, but not the right rhythm.

It's not DA-DA-DA but it's da-DA-da. The first one is very short and the last one is very short. Citations. Citations.

Also I should point out this T in ta-- is a true T because it starts a stressed syllable.

So if a T starts a stressed syllable, and it's not part of the TR cluster, then it will be a true T. Tay, tay, citations.
