Today, we're taking a scene from TV. An episode of  

Friends. They're talking about  New Year's Eve and making a pact.

程度の副詞

I say this year, no dates, we make  a pact, just the six of us, dinner.

We're going to study that conversation, actually,  four conversations, to learn some vocabulary  

words, idioms, but more importantly, to study the  rhythm of American English. How do Americans speak  

so fast? And why do they speak so fast? We'll  study reductions and you'll get fast English.  

Also, we'll have fun talking about the culture  of New Year's in the United States as we go.

I make new videos every Tuesday to help  you speak faster and more natural English,  

you'll even be watching TV without subtitles. If  you like this video, or you learn something new,  

please give it a thumbs up and subscribe with  notifications. I'd love to see you back here.

For the next four weeks, we're taking four  scenes, all from the same Friends episode,  

season 1 episode 10, all about their New Year's  eve pact. We're going to do an in-depth analysis  

of the pronunciation. Studying this way  is critical to understanding Americans  

and being easily understood yourself.  Here's the scene we'll study today.

Hey, do you guys know what  you're doing for New Year's? 

Wait, what? What is wrong with New Year's? Well, nothing for you. You have Paolo,  

you don't have to face the horrible pressures of  this holiday. Desperate scramble to find anything  

with lips just so you can have somebody to kiss  when the ball drops, man, I'm talking loud. 

Well, for your information, Paolo is  going to be in Rome this New Year so  

I'll be just as pathetic as the rest of you. It's just that I'm sick of being a victim  

of this Dick Clark holiday. I say this year, no  dates, we make a pact. Just the six of us, dinner. 

You know, I was hoping for  a little more enthusiasm.

Next up is our in-depth analysis. When  we study like this, you can really start  

to see the give and take. Stressed and  unstressed, and the linking between words.  

These are the things that make up the  character, the feel of American English.  

But also, they're the very things that  make understanding English so hard  

if what you've learned is that each  word is separate and fully pronounced.

We start with the word hey. But it's said  pretty quickly, it sort of has an abrupt stop.  

Hey. Hey. Hey. So it still has that up down  shape, but it doesn't go hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. 

So this word can be a greeting word, when you  see someone on the street that you know. Hey,  

how are you doing? Or you walk into  work and you see a co-worker there.  

Hey, how are you doing today? This is not being  used as a greeting here. They're already there.  

She probably greeted them when they walked in.  Here, it's being used a little bit differently,  

it's just to get their attention to announce  that she's about to say something. Hey. Hey. 

Hey,. Hey, do you guys know what  you're doing for New Year's? 

Then she asks her question. Do you guys  know what you're doing for New Year's? So  

more stress on you, do you guys know what  you're doing, also doing, for New Year's,  

and then the event, New Year's, compound word,  first word will get more stress, New Year's,  

like eyeball or basketball. It's the first  word of a compound word that is more stressed.

Do you guys know what you're doing for New Year's?  

And it's all extremely smooth. It's not do you  guys know what, but do you guys know what, do you  

guys know what. Knowing your stressed syllable can  help you smooth things out. There's no stopping,  

no breaks you just smoothly glide your energy  towards that stressed word. Do you guys know  

what you're doing. Do you guys know what you're  doing. See if you can imitate it that smoothly.  

It might feel unclear to you, but this  is what's natural in American English.

I would put a little bit of length on know  as well. Do you guys know what you're doing  

for New Year's? Know what you're, know what  you're. Do you know what's happening here? Do  

you hear that? It's not what you're,  but it's what you're, what you're--

When a word ends in a T and the next word  begins with Y, most commonly you or your,  

it's pretty common to make that final  T a CH instead. So it's not what  

you're, but what you're, what  you're, what you're, what you're.

And the word 'you're' reduces. It's not you're but  it's said very quickly: you're, you're, you're,  

you're. You can't make that quickly enough.  What you're, what you're, what you're doing.

And then we have another reduction: for New  Year's, for New Year's, it's not for, but: fur,  

fur, fur. And when we reduce it like we want to,  

we want to make sure that it glides really  smoothly, connects with no break into the  

next word. So it's not for New Year's,  but for New Year's, for New Year's,  

uuh. As if it's just another syllable in the  same word. For New Year's. For New Year's.

It's so different speaking this way.  Most of my students have learned  

to make words separate, clearer, do you  guys know what you're doing for New Year's?  

But that's not at all how Americans speak, we  glide it together so smoothly. No breaks in sound.

Do you guys know what you're doing for New Year's?

New Year's is short for New Year's Eve, the  night before New Year's Day, when we celebrate.  

If we were going to talk about New  Year's Day, we would probably say  

all of that, if you hear just New Year's,  that means the night before New Year's day.

Oh my gosh, guys. I almost forgot. I want to  let you know that in January, right here on this  

channel, I'm doing a 30 Day Vocabulary Challenge.  A new video every day for 30 days, we're learning  

words off the academic word list over 100 words,  with a download that includes quizzes to make  

sure you're really getting them. If you want to  officially join this challenge with me, and get  

the download, please follow the link in the video  description, or click the link right here in the  

card. Let's supercharge your vocabulary  in January. And now back to the analysis.

Gee! What? Big, up down shapes of stress there.  Gee! What? Her pitch is a little bit higher.  

She's surprised that question got this reaction.

The exclamation 'Gee!' the letter  G there makes the Jjj-- J sound.  

It's not gee, gee, with a  hard G, but jjj--- gee! Gee!

Gee! What? Really light release of the true T  there. It's not what, but what, super light.

What is wrong with New Year's? And then she  starts laughing towards the end of her phrase.

What, wrong, new, our three most stressed  words there. What is, I would say here the  

stress is going up, what is wrong with New  Year's? And then on new, it starts coming  

down. What is wrong with New Year's? Notice how  these two words link together? What is, what is,  

they link very smoothly with the flap T. When  a word ends in a vowel or diphthong plus T, and  

the next word begins a vowel or diphthong, that's  going to be a flap T to link: what is, what is.
