How many times can I use GONNA in a short conversation?

to 不定詞

Ha, I challenged myself to write this conversation to show you how we use GONNA in conversational English.

過去形

My colleague Tom and I recorded this conversation.

You're not going to tell John we were here.

And then I thought, this would be more interesting if I created AI characters to use our voices.

I made this AI copy for myself, and I used this fake guy for Tom.

First, here's the conversation, then we'll do a full pronunciation analysis.

At the end of this conversation, you'll have a better understanding of the rhythm of spoken American English.

I'm going to tell John we were here because he's going to know anyway.

He's going to know we were here because he's going to see that his money's gone.

He's not going to see that, and if he does, he's just going to think he lost it.

So it starts pretty high, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, not stressed.

And then everything comes down after that.

I'm going to tell John we were here but GONNA said very quickly, GONNA, GONNA.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.

And all of the energy volume comes down from that peak of stress when we scoop up for TELL.

We just have NOT, abrupt stop, and then the G sound.

Just like I'm was said very quickly here.

Your becomes your, your, your with the schwa, R sound.

So just think of it as a Y sound and an R sound.

Then our unstressed word GONNA just falling down in pitch.

You're not gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna.

So we have up-down shape of stress on John.

it doesn't really get the stress the way John does in this sentence here.

You're not going to tell John, so NOT and JOHNNN get the most stress here.
