Well, last week, we celebrated Thanksgiving, and no, I didn't make a Rachel's English trifle,

but I thought about it. I've been thinking a lot about this trifle since we made our video last week.

In this week's video, we're going to  continue with learning English with TV,

learning English with Friends as we study more of this Thanksgiving episode.

Rach, you killing us here.  Will you serve the dessert already?

It's a trifle. It's got all of these layers. First,  there's a layer of ladyfingers,

then a layer of jam, then custard, which I  made from scratch,

and then a little bit more custard, and then bananas, and then I just put some whipped cream on top!

What, what was the one right before bananas?

But then, you know, I, I thought, well, there's mincemeat pie. I mean, that's an English dessert.

These people just put very strange things in their food.

Oh, by the way, can I borrow some rum from your place?

And while I'm gone, don't you boys sneak a taste!

Rach, Rach, a nickname, of course, I'm very familiar with this nickname as I get called it all the time.

Little up-down shape, but it is also pretty flat.  He's a little frustrated.

Rach, Rach, Rach, you're killing us here--

A couple reductions. You are, your,  becomes yer, yer, yer, yer,

said really quickly, as if there's not even a  vowel there.

Kill, the peak of stress for that phrase, the most stressed word, with that up-down shape.

Now he doesn't say killing, with an NG sound, he says killing with an N sound, tongue at the front of the mouth.

The energy of the word 'your'. Yer, yer, yer, yer.

It goes up, it's going towards the peak of stress, and then the final three syllables,

in us here, are all flatter, falling away from that peak.

You're killing us here.  Will you serve the dessert already?

Serve and dessert, the most stressed syllables there,

the UR as in bird vowel, serve, dessert, I  call this an UR vowel.

It's just like the R consonant, only it's held out. It has that shape.

But you don't try to make two different  sounds, a vowel, and then an R.

The letters SS here make a Z sound, dessert, dessert.

Will you-- both flatter, lower in pitch, unstressed.

So we actually have two unstressed syllables here because even though dessert is a stressed word,

The T in dessert, that's pronounced as a stop T, dessert.

He says it just like I do without an L sound.

This is a three syllable word with middle syllable stress.

Already. You can definitely drop that L  there, simplify that.

This three syllable phrase what is our  most stressed syllable?

The word 'what' goes up in energy towards the peak and the word 'it' falls off in energy.

Notice that the first T here in this phrase, the T in what, is a flap T linking those two words together,

and the second T is a stop T, it's at the end of the phrase.
