MOST COMMON ENGLISH WORDS PRONOUNCED NATURALLY!
Learn how to pronounce the 10 most common English words, naturally. Words like in, on, that, the, were (& more) - words you use EVERY time you speak English!
The most common English words are FUNCTION words and they are usually UNSTRESSED when spoken in English. Which means, they sound quite different when spoken quickly. The sounds reduce and words are often contracted - this lesson will help you recognise words in fast English, and help you pronounce these common words naturally yourself!
THAT /ðət/
AND /ən/
A /ə/
AN /ən/
CAN /cən/
IN /ɪn/
ON /ɒn/
NOT /nt/
TO /tə/
WAS /wəz/
WERE /wə/

As a native speaker, you have shown me pronunciations of words that I never considered, like stressed vs unstressed. Very enlightening.

I’m so glad to hear that! It’s difficult for native speakers to recognise the aspects of their pronunciation that make it challenging for non-native speakers to understand. I believe knowing this makes us all a little more conscious and supportive of English learners! ❤ Thanks for your comment!

Another fun lesson from Emma!!! I didn’t realize the difference in sounds until now 😃
hello Emma , you were the creator of immitation technique before it was copied and spread out , most of your lessons are characterized by being intelligible , not to sound American or British or any other accent; you attract millions of subsribers by teaching how to speak intelligibly. we really like that.

Es importante una pronunciación del inglés, tal como tú lo haces, pero no es a veces fácil oir y comprender una oración de este modo,; sin embargo, debemos escuchar mucho y seguido para acostumbrarnos al sonido. Mil gracia
Emma is my best English teacher.

Thank you very much for your fantastic lesson! It's very important to know things like these. I would like more lessons like this one. And I want to know what accent do you have? Do you have RP British English or Modern RP?

@@mmmEnglish_Emma but your English reminds me British English
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:36 🗣️ Function words in English sentences are usually unstressed and may get murmured or mumbled when spoken by native speakers. 01:37 🗣️ The word "that" can be stressed when used as a determiner or adverb, but it's unstressed when used as a conjunction to connect two clauses. 03:14 🗣️ The verb "be" has various forms like "am," "is," "are," "was," or "were," and they often become contractions when spoken quickly. 05:26 🗣️ Words starting with a vowel sound like "on" may get pulled towards the word before them when spoken quickly. 07:07 🗣️ The articles "a" and "an" are often unstressed in English sentences. 07:43 🗣️ The word "and" often becomes "n" when unstressed and connected to the previous word. 08:20 🗣️ The preposition "to" is usually unstressed and pronounced with the schwa sound when spoken quickly. 09:57 🗣️ The word "can" becomes a contraction "can't" when spoken quickly and stressed when emphasizing certainty. 10:28 🗣️ The word "not" often becomes contracted (e.g., "don't," "can't") when linked to a verb in a sentence. 12:53 🗣️ The definite article "the" has two unstressed forms depending on whether the word following it starts with a consonant or vowel sound.

Hi, would you prepare a video about " were" vs "where". For me, they sound the same. Ps.There is a mistake in the video as we don't write "can not" BUT should be CANNOT.
