In the US, summer is sun, sand, and blockbuster movies.

現在進行形

And this summer, we're going to use those movies to learn English and study how to sound American.

未来形

Every video this summer is going to be a study English with movies video.

We’ll pull scenes from the summer's hottest movies as well as favorite movies from years past.

It's amazing what we can discover by studying even a small bit of English dialogue.

We’ll study how to understand movies, what makes Americans sound American, and of course,

any interesting vocabulary, phrasal verbs, or idioms that come up in the scenes we study.

I call this kind of exercise a Ben Franklin exercise.

Then, we'll do an in-depth analysis of what we hear together. This is going to be so much fun.

Be sure to tell your friends and spread the word that all summer long, every Tuesday,

we're studying English with movies here at Rachel's English.

At some point, everything's going to go south on you.

Everything's going to go south, and you're going to say, ‘this is it, this is how I end.’

Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work.

and then the next, and if you solve enough problems, you get to come home.

A little three-word thought group. What are the stressed words there?

The stress pattern is: da-DA-da. Stressed, unstressed, stressed. This is space.

We have an ending S:  this is-- it links right into the next vowel,

then we have a Z sound in ‘is’, and an S sound in ‘space’. What happens? Can you hear it?

It's subtle. But what I would say is, you don't need to try to make the Z sound.

I think you can just make the S. And I would say this is true of any time word ends in a Z,

when that syllable is unstressed, and the next word begins in an S.

Another common example of this would be 'has'.

That S is actually a Z sound, and if I was linking that into the word 'space', she has space,

she has space, has space, I would just make an S sound.

S and Z are a pair, they go together because they have the same mouth position, and S is unvoiced,

and that's considered strong. Z is voiced and that's considered a weaker sound,

and so the stronger sound S takes over that Z, sort of cancels it out.

So, try that. I think it will make it easier for you. This is space.

To think of just making an IH vowel linking into the S rather than trying to make a Z and then an S.

It does not cooperate. What do you hear as the most stressed words there?

I'm hearing 'not'. It does not cooperate. It does not cooperate.

It does, it does, it does, it does. A stop T in 'it', these two words a little bit flatter: it does not--,

compared to 'not' which is longer, and has that falling off in the voice. This part of the stress here

is really the part to me that shows it's stressed. The voice has to go up in order to come down.

But it's that downward pitch, that downward fall, this is not-- not--

that shows me, okay, this is stressed. It does not cooperate.

Co-op-- two o's, the first one makes the OH diphthong: Co--,

then the AH as in father. Cooperate. Cooperate.

And a stop T at the end. Actually, we have a stop T here. We have three stop T's.

So for this first T and the second T, the T is a stop T because the next sound is a consonant.

In this last T, the T is a stop T because it ends the thought, the thought group, the sentence.

How would that sentence sound if I made all of those T's a true T?

It sounds really different to me. It feels really different. It feels rushed.

We don't take the time to release those true T's because it takes up time, and we don't need it.

It makes it less smooth. There's a little stop in air, a little break and that shows us that it's a T. It does--

that's different from: ih does, ih does-- There, there's no stop but if I say: it does, it it it it it does,

that little break, that little lift, that is the T.

This can be confusing because a lot of people say: well, I don't hear that T. I get it. It's not released

but there's a little break, and that, to us, is the T.

Whoa! Different day, different outfit, important announcement.
