POV: be Me, a native English speaking American, watching this over breakfast and somehow feeling overwhelmed by how you never noticed the complexity of this 100% typical sitcom moment
My wife is native speaker as well and I have fun in pointing out these little things once in a while. She had never noticed before how many letter she leaves out when she speaks at her normal speed. She was surprised when I told her that for English learners telling the difference between can and can't is sometimes very hard since you don't say the T. She told me she says the T. So I had her read a little paragraph at her normal speed and when she said can't she stopped. Only then she realized that she was not saying the T. My daughter asked me to get something for her the other day and she said it's over there on the kitchen couner. I asked her to repeat it and she said it slower thinking I had problems understanding her. She said it's over there on the kitchen counter. So I asked her why the first time she didn't say the T in counter... She didn't believe me and she started repeating the phrase at regular speed. She noticed then that she would live out the T all the time.
@@gigipizzuto4068 I guess this explains the phenomenon of 'learners speaking English better than those born into it.' We just get so sloppy when it's our first language lol. Thank you for sharing.
YEAH IT'S SO SHOCKING?? i was so confused like i know i leave out g's in puttin n stuff like that but theres so much else i didn't notice like flap t's or stress on words or leaving out letters other than g or the difference between putting with a g and puttin without a g
I remember how about two years ago i watched one of these videos, and I didn't understand anything about the listening. Now, two years later and learning completely by myself, i understood everything!
I subscribed to Rachel’s English Channel a few years ago. I still listen to her entire lessons every time she uploads a video. I am a native english speaker but Rachel has made me a better teacher and has contributed to my popularity in the area of phonetics and effective results with my students in a relatively short time. Thank you Rachel!
I used to watch Rachel’s videos when I first moved here to the states. I barely speak English like the American English but like it’s my favorite subject ever since I was a kid. 😅 It was hard for me to understand the American accent at first. I was hoping for a subtitle to pop up every time an American speaks to me. That’s how I find American accent hard to understand. So I watched her videos specifically made for intonation and accents and learned from them. That was nine years ago. Now people think I was born here because my English is so good. My LEP friends keep asking me to teach them English and I just show them her videos. I’m so glad I took time to learn about my struggles for years. Thank you Rachel for making these videos and for having a channel like this. It’s been a very helpful resource for people who are limited English proficient. It happens to be a blessing as well, because I am now working in linguistics department for a hospital. More power to you and to your channel. And to everyone who are struggling, there’s an end to it. Never stop learning and embrace your accents. It really makes you unique, but also it doesn’t hurt to learn. 😊❤
Wow, as a phonologist, I'm quite surprised to see such an analysis because not many English teachers pay attention to multiple aspects of sounding speech (assimilation, reduciton, prosody in general, etc.) or possess skills required for actually making it. Well done, that's a really good job!
I certainly pay attention to all of those, as well as L1 interference each learner's unique needs, and then start attacking that interference with Linda Grant's Well Said. This is why university-based intensive English programs require an MA in applied linguistics as a minimum.
It seems to me this is because traditional teaching is so thoroughly based on Cartesian rationalism and objectivism, focusing on semantics to the exclusion of pragmatics.
Regardless your mother tongue, regardless your knowledge in english, just watch Rachel's lessons and trust me, you can understand a lot of things easily, that's what happened to me. Thank you for all your hard work on sharing the knowledge, Rachel's
It's "regardless of." "Regardless of your mother tongue," etc. (Knowing which prepositions to use and where to use them is one of the hardest things to master in English.) You're doing very well!
Hi my name is vishwas, i'm indian and i wanna learn American English i have been learning from 2 month and now i know half of American English, i am also learning spanish from Duolingo and i learn 1/4 of it.. Thank you... For teaching us
I always want to sound more natural when I speak English with my friends even if my grammar is not great and I'm not fluent . Thank you sharing this great Lesson .
As an American English speaker (N. Utah accent) who is actively practicing other languages and some voice acting, it's SO interesting and surprisingly helpful to get the American speech pattern so fully broken down.
(For those not intimately familiar with the myriad of American accents, the Salt Lake City accent is considered among the most neutral American accents, with almost some Transatlantic character, but then surrounding Utah gets a bit more Western drawl, a bit flatter up north- we particularly like stop t's in the middle of words, like how we pronounce mountain- "mow'n". And then my particular neighbourhood blends or can even swap the ar/or sounds. There are SO many regional dialects, if I had time I would love to study just those. I can tell, though it's some guess, that Rachel is from further north. Not Minnesota, but Maybe Wisconsin or Washington. Lots of head voice, no discernable drawl, or Minnesotan stressed vowels, but also lacking any of the distinctive characters you tend to see east of Illinois. Rachel, I'd _love_ your feedback on the assessment, right or wrong. As a vocalist, being able to dissect these traits is valuable)
Listening more, not Wisconsin. My guess is northwestern, but I don't know the more regional dialects well enough to distinguish further. But also hell there are a lot of regions with less well known accents. What the hell is a Conneticut accent?
Yaayyy Another conversation analysis lesson! I am a fan of these types of lessons of yours. I still struggle in my listening comprehension, so these lessons are so useful for learners like us. Thanks a bunch, Rachel😊
Real pov: not, it isn't useful at all, just listen for hours each day and your brain will take care of it, you can't control it at normal speed when you are listening, it's your subconscious mind who analize the voice, patterns, etc at real time, if you can't pick up the words then it's because you didn't listen enough english.
@@Espartaniano But how much should we listen to English? I think I listen to English at least once on the day here on UA-cam. But I struggle with informal American English because they speak way too fast and don't pronounce some words in a decent way. For example, why they say ''Watcha doin' today'' instead of saying correctly ''What are you doing today''.
@@menonalevi6984 Nothing incorrect about it, it’s just a different style and it will likely take a lot of listening to pick it up. Think of it like this I a native english speaker cannot understand Scottish english to save my life, but if I listened to it for long enough and had enough exposure with proper context, my brain would create the proper connections and it would become less taxing to understand it, freeing up my ability to catch accents and dialects. Sorry if it was a big read.
I´m Chilean, my native language is spanish and I can assure you that we do much of the same things when we speaks Spanish. Greetings from Santiago de Chile.
I got that, now I understand very well American English and it's my favorite. Of course, I will not understand because the word is new, you taught me. God bless you and your family too.
Learning English through real conversations is a great pleasure🙂! I enjoy it so much! My favourite one for learning Real American English is ''Friends" sitcom❤! I've already learned form it a lot, but I'm still learning! There're still so many hilarious episodes to learn with! 🤣😂😄
32:15 To me I hear more of a sound somewhere between the “i” like “it” and the “e” like “pen” than a schwa for the “a” in “cannot”. When pronouncing it I find I do the same. Even as a native speaker this was really REALLY cool to watch, and I’m very glad that there is somebody out there really delving into this stuff to help teach those who want to learn it.
It is an interesting phenomenon how people will do this with their native language. This was one of the first concepts I learned in French class, where it's a little more extreme, chopping down phrases like "il ne a pas de quoi" to be pronounced like "pod kwah." Of course, as a native speaker of English, I have definitely noticed where I will be misunderstood by my foreign-born wife, who already spoke 2 languages before learning English! One adaptation I've made with "can't" is to say "cannot" if I can tell I would likely drop the 't' and change the meaning. One of the most fascinating things about this subject is how different regions will cut different parts of words. I'm sure we've all heard at least one New Yorker say "yuge" instead of "huge," and possibly cut the h at the beginning of many words. I noticed someone from another region change "ing" in every word that had it to "in," like, "interesting" becomes "inchrisdin." ...and yes, that's how he pronounced that word. I'm well aware of times when I substitute a 'd' for a 't'.
Désoler mais c’est faux. En français on prononce bien le « Il n’y a pas de quoi ou pas de quoi » ce sont deux expressions correctes. Personne ne dit « pod kwah »… Vous avez sûrement rencontrer une personne qui ne sait pas parler le français.
I’m not a native speaker but I’ve been speaking for over 18 years and now I speak more than my native tongue I have so many pet peeves with English and after centuries of its formation I think English is waaaaay overdue a major reform, not just for learners but native speakers as well and here are a few examples: 1) Sure it’s context base but some words could use accents; read vs read -> read vs rēad; wind vs wind -> wind vs wînd 2) simplify spellings, enough -> enuff, standardize “internet spelling”, Tough Though Thought Through Thorough That “ough” ending should be changed 3) I speak Canadian English, which uses British spellings, but let’s make it the American version across the board, to make it easy 4) words like “colonel”, change the spelling or the pronunciation, that included “Arkansas”, I know it’s something to do with native heritage but it should be AR-KANSAS, or change the spelling “Arkansaw” 5) silent letters: knife -> naif I.E. make most changes pretty much IPA
I just found this video by chance! The first thing came to my mind was Oh I wish I had this video during my 20 years of life in the city of New York! Basically I learned the very New York daily conversation from Friends and Seinfeld.! At the beginning of my life in the city, understanding what New Yorker said was like "Decipher" someone from the outer space! So this is a great video to help people like me struggling to tune in to the sound! I recommended this video to one of my friends who just moved to New York this summer and I am sure she will be enjoying the activity of "DECIPHER"! Thank you so much!
Really good analysis of an issue that few teachers are good at breaking down. Changing cadence and pitch are some of the last things that people pick up when learning new languages, and it’s so affected by dialect and geography too. (Joey has some New York pronunciation in there too - “couldn’ be beda”, “put’n out fias all ova da place”) Outside of being a dialect coach, I don’t know how possible it really is to teach all these intricacies (in any language or dialect), but learning _how_ to listen and _what_ to listen for is really valuable.
Thank you for teaching teacher 😊 From now on I will call you teacher cuz you are teaching us sooo many things that I don't know 👌 I always will follow your channel 😊❤
As this is the first video I’ve seen from this channel, I actually thought this channel was entirely dedicated English of the character “Rachel” from Friends. 😁
Just found you. I hope you covered "Supposably" ( supposedly)in a lesson. Native Baltimorese " Wrench at warsh rag attina zinc". I asked my mother for a translation.
Rachel you're my best teacher ever😊❤️ You're analysis are on 🔥. I appreciate your lessons so much I have no words to describe how great they are 😁. I feel so comfortable to watch movies, tv shows or listen to any podcasts or audiobooks and all thanks to you. I always have an aw expression watching your analysis 😂 It's interesting, fascinating and priceless. Thank you so much ❤️
Your videos help me learn English Language very easily. Your pronunciation and teaching method is so amazing, clear and smooth. I've been following you for nearly 5 years. Now I am almost fully able to understand english native speakers. Thank you so much for presenting us these pretty helpful video lessons. Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩🇺🇲
Midwestern American here. I love your channel. I'm trying to learn German, and I need "Hilda's Deutsch" to teach the intricacies of native German pronunciation.
I like this a lot. It might also serve American and Canadian English speakers to understand the sounds they impart into the other languages they try to learn to speak well. The “standard” American accent is not only hard to acquire or understand. It is a bit harsh to listen to embedded in other languages!
Rachel apart from the great lesson, your editing is so precise and detailed. I know (as an editor myself) how long it takes to put something like this together!! Where did you get your editing training? Or are you self-taught?
And i love to be one of your students I also love your vocabulary videos and i would appreciate if you make more vocabulary videos on different topics especially business english because it's is full of hard to pronounce words This is really useful thank you so much
Thank you so much for sharing this helpful and useful training session. Your lesson is absolutely remarkable and spectacular to be watched. Thanks for sharing this amazing again ❤ best wishes ❤
Thank you for this! I’m sure this would help others. This is interesting to watch as a native speaker. I’m glad English is my native language, and I would hate to have to learn all of this as a second language lol.
I think part of the reason he moves his head in a circle when saying “all over the place” is to do a kind of pantomime. His head moving in every direction implies he looked all over. Thanks for the lesson!
Hey @rachel. I’m a big fan of your channel and I’ve been following you long enough to shape my American accent . I got a question about “ the voice “ that has always been one of my worries . Whenever i listen to Americans speaking i feel like they’re speaking from or in their throats deep down ( though i know about placement) and it seems to me that Americans really press so hard on the sounds in the throat. And when it comes to me speaking i feel like my accent is more light and that i don’t press on the sounds - i’d like to know if you can tell me how to work better on my voice ? If you can make a video about the voice again, it’ll be so great and very helpful to me and many’s. Thanks. Looking forward to hearing from you.
According to some researchers, American use their tongues in a flexible way when they speak,. You can train yourself more in a systematic way with the book" Mastering the American E accent", in addition to following this channel.
Just exactly like the analysis on connected speech in lessons about phonology (British English) and spoken discourse in the university. What is taught in the video can be an assignment. Thx a lot
Hi Rachel I have just subscribed as I find your way of dealing with English very interesting I am a born English person living in the UK but I have always been fascinated with the English language I have been watching more Americans than I would normally do due to UA-cam There have been some things I have noticed that the Americans say that my brain just cant seem to handle I noticed some saying "on accident" like "on purpose" where I would say " by accident" Also I have heard some say "acrosst" for the word "across" its amazing how words evolve
They're uneducated. "On accident" is wrong. When I hear it, I think, "I could never put this person in front of a client." Yes, it affects how people might employ you. "Acrosst" is almost dialectal, and it's wrong. We'd make fun of each other in school for speaking like that.
"Acrosst" probably is meant to be a link of "Across" and "to". Example: *Points to a shop on the other side of the street* "We need to get across to over there." "We need t get across t over there." Although if the situation is like: "I'm gonna go across the street." And you hear it as: "I'm gonna go acrosst the street." Then they are just straight up saying it wrong. 😂 There is absolutely no "to" in "across the street."

Hello Rachel, Could you make a special video about the effect of (dark l )on the pronounciatoin of vowels and diphthongs?
How the vowel and diphthongs change before dark L?
Please address the phrase “these ones”. Is there a time that it is correct to use it?

I have so many pet peeves with English and after centuries of its formation I think English is waaaaay overdue a major reform, not just for learners but native speakers as well and here are a few examples:
1) Sure it’s context base but some words could use accents; read vs read -> read vs rēad; wind vs wind -> wind vs wînd
2) simplify spellings, enough -> enuff, standardize “internet spelling”,
Tough
Though
Thought
Through
Thorough
That “ough” ending should be changed
3) I speak Canadian English, which uses British spellings, but let’s make it the American version across the board, to make it easy
4) words like “colonel”, change the spelling or the pronunciation, that included “Arkansas”, I know it’s something to do with native heritage but it should be AR-KANSAS, or change the spelling “Arkansaw”
5) silent letters: knife -> naif

Changing cadence and pitch are some of the last things that people pick up when learning new languages, and it’s so affected by dialect and geography too. (Joey has some New York pronunciation in there too - “couldn’ be beda”, “put’n out fias all ova da place”)
Outside of being a dialect coach, I don’t know how possible it really is to teach all these intricacies (in any language or dialect), but learning _how_ to listen and _what_ to listen for is really valuable.
Thanks for sharing Sazji!

Although the american accent is not my favourite, but I love how Joey speaks.
Very interesting, so helpful, an impactful video. Thanks for the value you added
I'm glad you enjoyed it! @Twisty
Your videos help me learn English Language very easily. Your pronunciation and teaching method is so amazing, clear and smooth. I've been following you for nearly 5 years. Now I am almost fully able to understand english native speakers. Thank you so much for presenting us these pretty helpful video lessons.
Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩🇺🇲
Happy to hear that @sujanluther3563!
Excellent method to learn. Thank you 👍🏻
Midwestern American here. I love your channel. I'm trying to learn German, and I need "Hilda's Deutsch" to teach the intricacies of native German pronunciation.
Learn Bavarian German, so you can visit the Oktoberfest in München.
Super great 👍👍 Guess you taught us more english in this video than what we'd learn in couple of hours of english tuition

I liked her pronunciation... Very clean!

“I luv being your English teacher!” That’s the way we say “Love” in Chattanooga.
@Joseph Haley Chattanooga reminds me of an old Dan Peterson's commercial 😅
Ty for the new lesson Rachel
My pleasure Helen and I appreciate you joining my membership program! :)

I like this a lot. It might also serve American and Canadian English speakers to understand the sounds they impart into the other languages they try to learn to speak well. The “standard” American accent is not only hard to acquire or understand. It is a bit harsh to listen to embedded in other languages!
Fantastic lesson!!!!
Mrs Rachel , exceptional Energetic teacher i like your criteria of teaching so much , love from egypt
Hello there and thanks for watching Mohamed!
Maravilhoso professora.......

Thank u very much!
I wish more energy , success and happiness in your life
You're very welcome Ahmed!
Rachel apart from the great lesson, your editing is so precise and detailed. I know (as an editor myself) how long it takes to put something like this together!! Where did you get your editing training? Or are you self-taught?
Your knowledge is so wonderful ✨😍
The Rachel a lot of thank You. The information is very important for me.
Happy to hear that Олег!
And i love to be one of your students
I also love your vocabulary videos and i would appreciate if you make more vocabulary videos on different topics especially business english because it's is full of hard to pronounce words
This is really useful thank you so much

Thank you so much for sharing this helpful and useful training session.
Your lesson is absolutely remarkable and spectacular to be watched.
Thanks for sharing this amazing again ❤ best wishes ❤
Thank you for this! I’m sure this would help others. This is interesting to watch as a native speaker. I’m glad English is my native language, and I would hate to have to learn all of this as a second language lol.
Thanks for sharing @do5284!

💗Much luck to all of those learning English.
I'm Korean. It's very difficult to do well and speak English.
Just keep practicing Oskar and stay motivated!
I think part of the reason he moves his head in a circle when saying “all over the place” is to do a kind of pantomime. His head moving in every direction implies he looked all over.
Thanks for the lesson!
Thanks for watching @franimal86!
Hey @rachel. I’m a big fan of your channel and I’ve been following you long enough to shape my American accent . I got a question about “ the voice “ that has always been one of my worries . Whenever i listen to Americans speaking i feel like they’re speaking from or in their throats deep down ( though i know about placement) and it seems to me that Americans really press so hard on the sounds in the throat. And when it comes to me speaking i feel like my accent is more light and that i don’t press on the sounds - i’d like to know if you can tell me how to work better on my voice ? If you can make a video about the voice again, it’ll be so great and very helpful to me and many’s. Thanks. Looking forward to hearing from you.
According to some researchers, American use their tongues in a flexible way when they speak,. You can train yourself more in a systematic way with the book" Mastering the American E accent", in addition to following this channel.
Thanks a lot. I am an English learner from China.
Nice lesson. You have an american accent course , right? Is there a link

Just exactly like the analysis on connected speech in lessons about phonology (British English) and spoken discourse in the university. What is taught in the video can be an assignment. Thx a lot
obrigado pelos vídeos, muito bom esse canal para estudo.
I am from Bangladesh
Your class is very helpfully
Hello there and thanks for watching! :)
Hi Rachel I have just subscribed as I find your way of dealing with English very interesting I am a born English person living in the UK but I have always been fascinated with the English language I have been watching more Americans than I would normally do due to UA-cam There have been some things I have noticed that the Americans say that my brain just cant seem to handle I noticed some saying "on accident" like "on purpose" where I would say " by accident" Also I have heard some say "acrosst" for the word "across" its amazing how words evolve
They're uneducated. "On accident" is wrong. When I hear it, I think, "I could never put this person in front of a client." Yes, it affects how people might employ you. "Acrosst" is almost dialectal, and it's wrong. We'd make fun of each other in school for speaking like that.
"Acrosst" probably is meant to be a link of "Across" and "to".
Example:
*Points to a shop on the other side of the street*
"We need to get across to over there."
"We need t get across t over there."
Although if the situation is like:
"I'm gonna go across the street."
And you hear it as:
"I'm gonna go acrosst the street."
Then they are just straight up saying it wrong. 😂 There is absolutely no "to" in "across the street."
Hi mam I am Indian and thank you very much your videos very help me in spoken...
Glad it was helpful Samay!
