Inna, this is an excellent lesson on connected speech, which is by far the most difficult part of English for many advanced ESL speakers. That is the case for me, since I am a native Spanish speaker and our pronunciation in Spanish is the same as in textbooks. Please make more videos on the subject.
Oh I can feel your pain! In Spanish, all syllables are more or less the same length irrespective of whether they are stressed or not. What's more, you often make unstressed syllables long when you need to think or want to be emotional, like when you say 'peroooooo'. Linguistically speaking, Spanish is a syllable-timed language. English on the other hand, is stress-times, so the fact that a syllable is stressed or unstressed is really important and affects its length and quality.
Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I'll recommend this video to my students to help them understand better how a simple sentence turns into somewhat a jumble of sounds 😅
Thank you Lada! Exactly! I think it's so important to teach your students what fast speech may sound like. Oftentimes, they do know each and every word in an utterance, but don't understand it because the lack this knowledge about how sounds and words change in fast speech. Thank you!
Thank you so much, dear Inna. Very interesting and useful lesson. You teach in a great detail, professionaly, and just beautifully! By the way, Inna is the wide-spread name in Russia. Greetings from Moscow and have a happy Christmas!
Thank you for watching it! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. And I know it's a wide-spread name in Russia because I myself come from Vitebsk, Belarus. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
Hi, Inna. I see you use the international phonetic alphabet. Have you seen Dr. Geoff Lindsey's video about why the symbols are wrong? I know you studied linguistics so maybe you're familiar with his work. Great channel by the way. Thanks.
Yes, I've read his book English After RP. And consciously chose to use the standard symbols, because otherwise I'd have to make another video explaining the changes. I mean, the IPA is still the standard used in dictionaries and textbooks, so if I use other symbols, it might be hard for many people to understand what I mean
Complicated but nicely explained! Tanks!
