It's so funny how we, as natives speakers, do this automatically and if we start analyzing it, we realize how much the words change as we link them. I never say "to," rather "tuh" or "duh." I say "fer" instead of "for." It's for you = It's fer you. I often say "ya" instead of "you." You need to do it = Ya need_duh doo-wit. And one of my favorites "what are you going to do = whaddaya gonna do? No one says each words individually. It sounds like a robot. Lol. I just made a video about this on my channel. I'm putting it up tomorrow when I'm done editing it. Love your videos, by the way.
@rachelsenglish (continued) ... valuable. Confidence in pronunciation and ease of speaking is important, especially for those who rely on English to communicate for work or other important relationships. I have studied Spanish, French, German, and Italian, and I can say that understanding the pronunciation of those languages, and learning sounds that did not exist in my native language, were important to me, and important to the bigger picture of the language.
@Charles55661 Standard North American Accent is best to study when you're learning English. If you moved to the States and lived in Texas, for example, you might find that you pick up a few things that are very 'Texan'. But you certainly don't need to study each region's particular qualities. You are on the right track!
@Charles55661 Hi Charles, I don't think having a foreign accent is something to be ashamed of. However, I think learning the pronunciation is one of the fundamental components of learning a language, right along with grammar and vocabulary. I think to suggest that it's not is just silly -- the point of learning a new language is to be able to communicate. If one's pronunciation is so difficult to understand that it gets in the way of this, then all the time spent on vocab and grammar is less
Thanks a lot, Rachel. I really love the way you speak. It is clear and easy to understand. I have been wondering if your speech sounds a little choppy when you are teaching and explaining English to non-natives as in this video. It seems to me that sometimes you pause between words much more than when you speak naturally. I may be wrong, though. Maybe you are just speaking clearly but don't sound choppy. What do you think?
I've seen this date for five times. Smooth = soft; tiny gap = lacuna; quick = fast, rapid; choppy = agitated, uncertain, variable, variant, various (it easy/pt/br); wordsand = words and (uncertain legends).
I can hear the difference between the chopy and the smooth sentence, but I couldn't say it so smooth like u did, please can u make a short video for it, it's very cool and I loved it..^)
@maximinx Hi -- good question. I do my best to NOT be choppy at all, though many teachers do over-enunciate to help students understand. Obviously, non-native speakers might need English spoken to them slower and more clearly at the beginning, but then the issue is, will they imitate that, when Americans do not speak that way in every day conversation. When one is speaking for a crowd or for a video such as this one, it is normal to enunciate more than in everyday speech.
I think USians and Canadians have the clearest and smoothest accents, I've been living in Ireland for a couple of weeks now and It's kind of hard to understand them sometimes hahhaha!

Hi rachel reli love ur channel Some question about linkage Am I correct to pronounce 1. "on behalf of" /ɒn bɪˈhæf ʌv/ as /ɒn bɪˈhæ-fʌv/ 2. "for all" /fɔr ɔl/ as /fɔ-rɔl 3. "for his own" /fɔr hɪz oʊn/ as /fɔ-rɪ-zoʊn/ (one words)? Thanks so much
Hi Rachel greetings. I've got a question about linking Is it correct to say? since you left me: /sɪnsʃ-juː left mi:/ it's OK the linking between 'since and you' ?

Thanks for the lesson,it helps a lot😊
I can see how one might sometimes produce a very light ʃ sound in that link, but I don't think I would have a student think of doing it on purpose.
So instructive！

@WatchdogToClergy Yes, absolutely. This is the thing about unstressed words -- they can link together to sound like 1 unit --- like 1 word.
