    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.

    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. 😊❤

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.

    (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)

    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.

    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'.

    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!

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

  • @darbonhunter

    @darbonhunter

    2 жыл бұрын

    "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."
