hey everyone welcome to another video I hope you're having a great day today in this video we will work on our listening and speaking skills at the same time sounds good doesn't it I know it does I already made a video like this one a long time ago and you guys loved that it wasn't a detailed analysis but rather a brief explanation for one this will help you start recognizing words in this continuous flow of speech as there's no clear boundaries between words in normal natural speech words are linked together can be reduced and sounds
might be dropped and second you eventually with proper training be able to speak this way yourself if you'd like to but the first step is to start distinguishing between words you need to hear them first and to be able to do that you need to know how they link together so that's what we're going to do today our next example will be from How I Met Your Mother and buckle up for this one let's watch it and then you'll give it to him hey oh hey I don't know about all that okay there's a lot
to unpack here so the woman said and then you'll give it to him and then Barney the man said hey oh hey I don't know about all of that so we'll talk about and practice his words in particular the phrase I don't know about all that not paying attention to the words hey oh hey hey I don't know about all that the phrase I don't know was reduced to I don't know and it's a very common phenomenon to reduce this phrase in spoken language and it's not a true D it's a fast D it's not
I don't know it's I don't know the word Aboud links to the word all with the T in about turning into a fast D of is reduced to the schwa sound linked to all and sounds like Allah Allah about Allah the word that is being pronounced not with the true T at the end but with a stopped T you go into the position for the T but you don't release the air you don't release the T and the th sound was interticulated fully as you could hear it was said very fast all the words were
reduced to be able to say it like that you not only need to know about all the reductions but also your tongue needs to be trained to make the needed movements quickly let's listen to it again and practice I don't know about all that all right now we will say it slowly but without pauses in continuous sequence I don't know about all that I don't know about all that I don't know about all of that and now faster I don't know about all that I don't know about all that I don't know about all that
I don't know about all that but hey oh hey I don't know about all that I don't know about all that okay wow my tongue is tired what about yours okay guys if you like this type of video let me know in the comments and give this video a like so that I know that you like it even if you don't comment and I'll see you in the next one bye thank you
