SPEAK FAST LIKE AN AMERICAN 🇺🇸 #shorts #americanenglish

Let's do a deep-dive into #connectedspeech and put your speaking & listening skills to the test. This will really help you understand why people speak the way they do.

We'll talk about #reductions, #linking, #elision, #assimilation, and much more. And of course, I want you to practice saying these sentences with me.

As an American who often hears this type
of thing but has never stopped to think
about the sound changes with speed,
This was absolutely fascinating to
consider! 😃 (Those sound changes
aren't usually intentional; when anyone
talks fast, they can happen naturally.) 😄

It truly is the MOST complicated language on earth.
There. Their. They're. 1 Goose. 3 Geese. 1 Moose. 3 Moose. 1 deer. 2 deer. 3 ducks.

"I" before "E"...
Except after C. Or when you spell weird. Which is weird. Speaking of. Which. Witch. If I wasn't dozing off right now in between each sentence, I'd be able to list a dozen more odd English language rules.

Like contractions... we contract a lot! "I'd" is "I would". "She'd" is "She would". She's is she is. There's a comedian that does an amazing skit on our but I am so tired I can't remember who it was or a single example. I am going there. He is going to go there. He already went there. Stuff like that.

Plus the accents are mixes of other countries. In my area of east TN, it's a mix of Scott-Irish and British. You know how Brits say Amanda as "Aman-dur"? Well, that carried over and you hear a lot of things like "roll the windur up" instead of "roll the window up". Potato vs tater. Tobacco vs baccer. Tomato vs mater.

So... we have American English... and then there are dozens upon dozens of variants of American English due to the massive land area and the amount of time it took people from different places to travel across from the East to the West.

Dialects are truly fascinating.

No, I do not want to speak like an American.
