Hi. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam.

to 不定詞

because I want to help you understand native speakers. I want you to understand how they speak. So,

You should be able to understand what the person said. Now, whether you understood what I just said or not,

not important yet; we're going to get to that. So "Native Speaker Pronunciation".

Now, before I get into this lesson, I want you to understand: I don't want to teach you

how to speak like this. Okay? I don't want you to speak like this. I want you to speak

good, clear, strong English, just like I'm speaking to you now. But I also want you to

understand that when I am with my Canadian friends, for example, I speak a little bit

more like this. It's just natural, it's habit. It's not a good habit, but it's habit. Okay?

Now, I had a few comments on www.engvid.com, quite a few people asking me: Why do I understand

you? Like why do you understand me, Adam, but when I watch a TV show or when I watch

a movie, I don't know what they're saying? Why? Why such a big difference? Well, first

of all, let me say that I am speaking to you, knowing what you can and cannot understand,

for the most part. So I don't speak to you like I... Like I would with my Canadian friends

who are native English speakers. I don't speak to you like Hollywood actors speak on the

movie. Okay? I'm speaking to an audience. I know that they need to listen to me, that

you need to understand everything I say, so I enunciate, I speak very clearly. I stress

each syllable so that you can catch every word I say. But I'm going to talk about when

and where to speak like this in a minute.

So, I did actually do a lesson about how to speak like a native speaker before. You can

learn how to make elisions, how to connect sounds, how to... When you have two sounds

that are the same, to drop one of them. This is a little bit different. We're going to

These words are not dropped sounds words. These are just the way these words are constructed;

we are supposed to make the "t" silent, we are supposed to make the "b" silent. That's

But native speakers, native English speakers... And I'm sure this is the same in your native

language if you pay attention carefully to how you speak and how your friends speak,

we like to take shortcuts. Okay? We don't like too many syllables. We like to have fewer

and fewer syllables to make the speech go faster. We don't want to think too much about

So, for example, here are a few words. Now, I'm looking at consonant clusters.

Does everybody remember what a consonant is? B, c, d, f, g, etc.

So when we have consonant clusters, these are groups when you have consonants

bunched together; you have a few of them together. When we have words with this situation, we

tend to drop one, maybe two of those consonants.

So, for example, the word "probably". Pro-bab-ly, pro-bab-ly-.

but when I'm speaking in natural speed, I say: "Probly".

-"Are you coming to the party tomorrow night?" -"Yeah, probly."

Now you're watching me on a TV or you're watching me

in a movie, and you're thinking: -"What?" -"Probly." -"What?" -"Probly." Okay? All I'm

saying is "probably", but what I'm doing, because I have "b, b, l", I have a little

cluster of consonant sounds, I'll just drop this one; I don't need it. You'll understand

me without it, right? I think with another native speaker. "Probly". "Good bye", even

two consonants, ah, too much. "Gobye. Gobye". I barely even say the o's, I just say like:

"Old friend". Now, in the other video, I told you if the letters... The very last letter

and the first letter are the same, you can drop one, but we do it anyway, even if they're

"I have an ol' friend. Ol' friend who I met for dinner last night.

Oh, I met an ol' friend from high school."

Okay? We just drop 'em. Why? Because we can, because

we know that we will be understood. "L, d, f, r" - too many. Too many consonants. I don't

need so many. Drop at least one. Right? Get it out of the way. It makes it quicker.

The word "What". Now, if you're listening to native speakers, hardly anybody actually

pronounces the "t". "Wha did you do last night? Wha did. Wha did. Whasup? Whasup?"

You've seen movies, like: "Sup?" Sometimes they don't even say the "Wha"; they just say: "Sup? Sup?"

So we always drop the "t" because we just don't need it. Okay? You'll hear a lot of

these examples in movies, in TV shows, etc.

"I made a mistake with the report. I sent it to the wrong place."

He goes: "Oh, you shunda done that. Shunda done that. Shun-da done that."

What does that mean? Now, before I actually tell you... Before I open it up and show you

what this means, can you guess what it means? "You shunda done that." Think about the context.

I made a mistake. I sent the report to the wrong place. So my boss is very angry, and he goes:

"Oh, very bad. You should not have done... Oh, you should not have done that."

I will feel like a little child, he will be even more angry because he had to say more syllables.

"You shunda done that. No, you shunda done that."

this. You also need to understand it. But again, it's the context. He's angry. I did

something bad that I should not have done. Okay? Now, that's not enough. That's not all.

Context is not all. You have the "shun" and "done that", these are clear enough, you should

be able to just fill in the rest because the context: "You should not have done that."

Now, "Doesn't do", "doesn't give", "doesn't have". "Doen't do. Oh, he doen't do that."

We don't bother with the "s". Woop, sorry, wrong place. We just don't bother with the

"s". It's an extra step, an extra syllable that we just don't need. "S, n, t" - too much.

"Doen't do", "Doen't give". Now, here, we also drop the "h": "doen't ave". Don't have.

That's why Americans say: "Oh, he don't got." Even though it's bad grammar, they just got

so used to dropping things that they just use bad grammar all the time naturally. Not

all Americans. I apologize if I offend anyone, but it does happen. "I ain't got nothing."

"H's" are quite often dropped, because "h" is a very soft sound; it gets lost in the

flow of the speech. If you ever listen to French people, they don't really pronounce

the "h", because it's a very soft sound. So in English, it's actually quite... Quite often dropped.

"What's his name? Watsis name? Watser name? Watser: What is her?" We keep the "ts"

and make it "ts", we drop the h and we put it all together. "Watsis name? Watser name?"

Okay? "H's", you will very often miss an "h" when you're listening to native English speakers

because it's a soft sound that gets lost in the flow.

I think a lot of you are aware that the "g" in an "ing" word is quite often dropped.

Not many people will say: "I love singing. Singing." They'll say: "Oh, I love singin'. I love dancin'.
