Can You Pronounce... IT'S DON'T HADN'T YOU'VE AIN'T AREN'T ? - Çift Dilli Altyazılar
Well, hey there, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish.
In this pronunciation lesson today,
I'm going to teach you how to pronounce I've, where it's didn't, and many more of the most common contractions in spoken English.
And, at the end, you and I are going to practice speaking together.
We'll practice using these contractions in a short dialogue back and forth in a regular conversation together.
If you want to jump past the pronunciation work and you want to practice speaking fluently with me in this dialogue,
you can jump over to that But,
I recommend that you spend some time with me now, warming up your mouth muscles and practicing with me first.
If your goal is to sound relaxed and natural when you speak English, you have got to practice with me in this lesson.
Are you ready?
So, what is a contraction?
A form of a word, where there are fewer sounds spoken.
For example, the word have can be heard in an English sentence.
And most English contractions involve auxiliary or modal verbs,
and these are often unstressed parts of a sentence, so the sounds change and they reduce, they become a lower in pitch, harder to hear.
You'll hear contractions used by native English speakers all the time when they speak,
or maybe you won't,
because they're actually harder to hear and a little harder to process,
but you can also see them when they're written in informal English, and you can usually recognise them because they have that little apostrophe.
Which one of these contractions is hardest for you to pronounce?
Or is there another that you find really difficult?
Let me know down in the comments.
So in this lesson we're going to go through all of the contractions that are made by auxiliary verbs.
Do, have, and go.
and there are plenty of them.
Let's start with do, the auxiliary verb in the simple tense.
But you'll only hear it spoken as a contraction when it's used in its negative form.
Do not.
Which is?
Don't.
don't.
There are two things that I want you to notice here.
One is that vowel sound changes.
O, don't, is different to U, do, do, don't.
The second is that stop T,
which is really,
really common,
instead of hearing that T sound fully aspirated with that release of air to make the sound,
the stop T stops it short before the air is released.
It's like you catch the sound.
Listen to the difference.
Don't releasing the air.
Don't.
Or.
Don't.
Sometimes my students say to me, but Emma, I can't hear that T.
It's not there.
That's not true, because without that stopped T sound, that nasally mmm sound continues for longer, don't.
Compare that to don't, don't.
So that sound is stopped short.
That's your stopped T sound.
I probably could keep talking about that for a while,
but it's really,
really common to hear that stop T in negative contractions and in many other everyday English words that end in a T sound.
Practice it with me, don't, don't.
I don't want to go.
What about does not?
It is way more common to hear native English speakers say does not.
doesn't, doesn't.
And again, you can hear that stopped T sound, right?
You've also got two syllables there.
One of them is stronger than the other.
Can you hear it?
Doesn't, doesn't.
doesn't.
That first syllable.
We've got a few tricky consonant sounds there at the end so you know if you're feeling a little bit stuck here a little bit tongue
tired why don't you just pause for a minute and just focus on the end of that word zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I mean,
really, this word is often spoken so quickly that it sounds like, doesn't, doesn't.
So really just loosen up the muscles in your mouth,
don't get stuck trying to be really precise, doesn't, doesn't, doesn't, doesn't, he doesn't play football, it doesn't matter.
And then we have our past tense form, did not, which is, didn't.
You're right, didn't.
That first D is stronger than the second one, didn't, didn't, didn't.
There's that n-t cluster again.
Again, I'm using that stop T sound because that's the most comfortable for me.
You can choose whether you want to use the aspirated T at the end In my accent,
it's very, very common to hear the stop-tea.
Are you ready to practice with me?
I don't like it.
We don't eat meat.
They don't bother me.
She doesn't want to.
It doesn't matter.
You didn't call.
He didn't believe me.
Okay, now let's look at the verb B.
So in the present tense it conjugates two and is an R.
B is a little different because it can be contracted when it's a main verb as well as when it's an auxiliary verb.
Here's the paper, here's coming.
So the B verb is the main verb in our sentence.
And it's the auxiliary verb, it's making the continuous tense.
There are many B contractions to get through,
so want to go through them one by one,
practice out loud with me, I'm, I'm, you're, you're, remember the pronunciation is exactly the same as this word here, you're.
And in my accent, you don't really hear that er sound at the end, it's just the vowel, or, or, where, where.
And again, the pronunciation of this contraction is just the same as that word.
There, there.
Again, exactly the same as these It's has a tricky consonant cluster.
Tss, tss, tss, tss.
It's.
Practice these sentences after me.
I'm hungry.
You're coming too.
She's gonna win.
It's about to rain.
Okay, let's take a look at the negative forms now.
With negative contractions with beverb, we have two choices.
We have two different ways that we can pronounce these contractions.
You can make the contraction by linking the beverb to the subject or by linking the beverb to not.
Let's take a look.
Look, you are not, can be you're not, or you aren't.
Ooh, that's a new sound there.
ant, ant.
Can you hear that, ant at the end?
Ant, ant, ant.
We're not, we aren't.
we aren't.
They're not.
They aren't.
They aren't.
All right, let's take a look at is he's not.
He isn't.
That's another new set.
We have iz-zint, iz-zint, and I know there are a few tricky consonant clusters there, aren't there?
iz-zint, iz-zint, iz-zint, practice, practice, practice.
isn't.
She's not.
She isn't.
It's not.
It is.
Now, because that T sound comes between two vowels, it sounds a lot more like a D in my accent.
Can you hear it?
It It isn't.
If I slow it down, it isn't.
It isn't.
It isn't.
So to make that sound, I'm just flicking my tongue ever so quickly up behind my teeth on the gums.
It isn't, beb, beb, beb, beb, beb, beb, beb, beb, beb, beb, it isn't, it isn't.
And lastly, we have the negative contraction with am.
I am not becomes.
I'm not.
And.
I amt.
There is only one way to pronounce this contraction.
I'm not.
I amt doesn't exist.
In some dialects you will hear I ain't.
Everything you think you know about famous quotes, it ain't so.
It is really important to know that ain't exists in English and it's going to help
you with your listening comprehension when you're watching movies or you're hearing different accents or different dialects.
So even if you don't use it yourself, it's good to know it.
Okay, let's practice be verb contractions, you after me.
You aren't coming, are you?
She isn't going to lose.
They aren't leaving yet.
And of course we have the be verb in the past tense, right?
Was not, becomes, wasn't.
And this is often unstressed in our sentences, so the sound really flattens out and it becomes a lot more like, wasn't, wasn't, wasn't.
It's a lot like, doesn't really, doesn't, doesn't, wasn't, wasn't.
To clearly pronounce this word, it needs to be, wasn't, wasn't, wasn't.
to understand native speakers, especially Australians, your need to listen out for wasn't, wasn't.
I wasn't waiting long.
He wasn't there.
It wasn't raining yesterday.
Of course, then we have one.
were, not, becomes, weren't.
And you'll notice that in my accent, I don't pronounce that er sound in the middle there.
weren't, weren't, were, mmm.
And don't be afraid to play around with that stop T, either.
weren't?
want, want.
You weren't invited.
We weren't planning to go.
They weren't old enough.
Have is our auxiliary verb in the perfect tensors.
It's the present perfect, isn't it?
We have have and has.
They really only get contracted when they're used as auxiliary verbs like this.
There are a couple of exceptions to that.
Some dialects, maybe they use the contraction when have, is the main verb, but they're the exceptions.
It's not really common to hear, I've one of those, or he's three.
In fact, he's three has a different meaning entirely.
We're using the B verb, aren't we?
And saying he is three years old.
So don't contract have or has when it's the main verb in a sentence, but do contract it when it's an auxiliary verb.
It's very natural.
So you hear have as just mmm, mmm.
What is really important here is that you have your mouth positioned correctly to make this sound mmm.
You need your teeth touching your lower lip, mmm, mmm.
Let's try out these contractions together, I've, I've, I've, I've been waiting.
You've, you've had enough, we've, we've, we've, we've seen her, they've, they've, They've eaten at all.
A little tip there when some of these contractions can feel a little bit hard when we're practicing
out loud and we're focusing just on the contraction, they've eaten.
If you link that vv consonant sounds to the next word,
which is also very, very natural in spoken English, linking those sounds, it's a little easier to pronounce.
They've eaten.
They've eaten.
They've eaten.
And when you contract has, it sounds like, or, zz, and zz.
They work together.
They have the same tongue and mouth position, but one, uses air to make the sound.
It's unvoiced.
and the other uses your vocal chords.
It's voiced, this sound.
Listen It's...
It's...
Now, because t is an unvoiced sound as well, the sound that is unvoiced follows.
It's...
It's...
Now compare that to Shiz.
Shiz.
Now vowel sounds are all voiced sounds, so the sound that follows is zzzzzzz.
Shizzzz.
Okay, practice with me.
Ready?
It's been broken.
She's been at school.
He's asked his mum.
Let's look at negative contractions with her now.
There are two- that you can say, has not, just like with the B verb.
The first way is using the contraction that we just learnt and then adding not.
So we have the subject with a vv not.
We've not seen her.
They've not asked for it.
The same rules apply for has.
We have our subject, ssss, or not.
It's not been broken.
He's not asked his mum.
Now this way of contracting is pretty common in British English,
but in Australian and American English it's much more common to hear the other way of contracting.
hasn't and hasn't.
Now the pronunciation here is quite simple really.
We just take the verb have has and we add int to the end, int, int.
This part, int.
Ent.
Lucky we did all that practice with nt, right?
Have nt.
Has nt.
Haven't.
Hasn't.
Try these sentences with me.
I haven't been to Africa.
She hasn't asked her mum yet.
To be honest,
it really doesn't matter which type of pronunciation you choose,
either of them is going to help you to sound more natural when you're speaking English.
So I want you to compare, we're going to go one and the other.
I've not.
I haven't.
You've not.
You haven't.
We've not.
We haven't.
They've not.
They haven't.
He's not.
He hasn't.
She's not.
She hasn't.
It's not.
It hasn't.
Have and has are in the present.
but there is only one past tense form, had.
So I guess that makes things a little easier, right?
No matter what the subject, we're always using had not.
So let's try the contraction.
Had didn't, had didn't, had didn't.
hadn't.
Alright, follow along after me.
I hadn't eaten so I was hungry.
You hadn't bothered to find out.
We hadn't brought our pillows.
It hadn't rained all day, so why was he so drenched?
So, we practice the pronunciation of lots of common contractions there.
Now let's practice using these contractions a little more naturally by practicing together in a little dialogue.
So it's a conversation between two people, you and me.
I'm going to start and you'll see your part of the conversation pop up on screen.
You get to say it out loud.
And once we get through it, we'll swap places and you'll get to practice the lines that I said and vice versa.
Are you ready?
Aren't you late?
But weren't you meant to pick up dinner on the way?
Don't worry, Kate's bringing dessert and the Johnson's aren't coming anyway.
Why don't you just pick up a pizza on the way?
No, I'm not late.
What?
I didn't know that.
I haven't got time to organise dinner.
That's right, they're away for the weekend.
Good idea.
I've got just enough time if I leave now.
Well, that's it for this lesson.
Let me know down in the comments if you want me to make another lesson like this all about modal verb contractions or contractions with will.
They can be a little tricky as well.
There are many contractions to learn, but you don't need to feel intimidated by them.
Just show up to practice with me and you'll get familiar with the way that they sound and you'll start to hear them more,
you'll recognise them as native speakers are speaking.
I hope you have a marvellous week ahead.
