ABOUT THE VIDEO
This is Fluent Pronunciation Training #1... and it's a little different.
Normally these are quick 2-minute "listen and repeat" trainings I make for my EnglishLife members. This time I slowed the whole thing down to actually break it apart, analyze it, and show you what's really going on inside the sounds. Then at the end you get the full listen-and-repeat version so you can train your pronunciation right along with me.
Here's how to use it: Listen. Internalize. Practice. Repeat. Train your ears FIRST... then copy me out loud. The first round is always the hardest. After that, it gets easier every time.
TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 – Welcome + why this training is different
0:32 – Join EnglishLife (+ the free Fluency Breakthrough Challenge)
0:58 – The method: Listen, Internalize, Practice, Repeat
2:55 – Comparing sounds: "O" vs "Oh" (goal, go, told, toad, hole, hone)
6:03 – Rhyming words (very, bury, cherry, hairy, dairy, scary, merry)
7:43 – The silent L (would, should, could, walk, talk, half, chalk, salmon)
8:34 – Long words + the schwa (photograph, occasion, necessary, artificial, scrumptious)
10:07 – Famous names in English (Sinatra, Elvis, Freddy Mercury, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Shakira, Beyoncé)
12:02 – Fixed food phrases + reducing "and" (salt and pepper, bread and butter...)
13:33 – Contractions in real sentences (pizza's ready, Gloria's coming over...)
14:36 – Full listen & repeat run-through
17:36 – Final thoughts + a personal note
