coffee yeah I'm saying it right I don't know where you're from you're not around
from these parts are you sir no coffee coffee it's coffee coffee hello hello hello everybody
Steve Ford here did you enjoy the first part of this lesson we've got a lot more so let's
go to Five secrets about speaking English secret number five lose loose advice advise
oh
did you see that
go go go go go go go go go oh did you see that
yes yes yes yes yes cool yeah pass it pass it pass it oh
so what you want to do here on this side we have lose and advise that's a z sound and that's very
important for native speakers because for native speakers it's more about that sound on the end
and then on this side we have loose and advice that's an S sound so think of the ones on this
side the sound like an insect Z lose advise and these ones are more like a snake loose advice
so if I say loose loose loose do you know which one is different
if you thought that it was the third one high five that is correct so we can train our ears that way
thank you
I should have said something
should have which one is correct well native speakers should know better and once again this
is lazy spelling and what it should be it should have or should have now why does this happen this
happens because when we use the contraction should have apostrophe v e it sounds a lot the of the of
it sounds a lot like of the preposition and that's why they are convinced that they should write it
that way please do not fall into this trap do an apostrophe v e or just write it in its full
form if you feel more comfortable that way are you still with me that's great and I hope that you can
smash that like button and leave me some comments helps the YouTube algorithm I don't have no money
I don't got no money what I don't have no I don't got no so sometimes we have double negatives and
in a perfect form it would be I don't have any or I haven't got any perfect then we go down
to poor I don't have no I don't have no money and then we go to epic fail I don't got no oh
my oh my so why are those last two wrong it's because it's a double negative are you still
with me because now we have the best secrets of All American pronunciation variations so imagine
you go down south in the United States and you ask for this well how do you think they would say that
I would say coffee how would you say it coffee I thought so yes standard American English if
you go to any online dictionary you're going to hear it pronounced as coffee now I'm saying it
right I don't know where you're from you're not around from these parts are you sir no
coffee coffee coffee it's coffee coffee okay forget about it forget about it so you can
see variations here further down south in the United States and they'll say it with a more
of a Southern drawl coffee if you go further up north coffee none of them are are wrong but they
are variations if you want to learn the standard American accent that's like a c a h car like
a bird now there are other words that we can ask our friends to pronounce for example I say talk he
says town and he says pork and similar to Coffee we want to say talk are you still with me I hope
so because now we're going to be talking about how the t is pronounced differently in different kinds
of American pronunciation so we have three kinds of tea pronunciation we have the perfect kind that
some people pronounce but not many which is watch water so that's more an exception to the rule and
American Standard T is a flap t and that's going to be like if you prefer and that's water water
how would you say water water that can go into a rural accent where the flap T
completely disappears War so you might think okay Steve I understand that but
when you put that in a sentence it can get kind of hard to understand
one more how's that more than water oh boy do you want me to spell it out for you I'll say it
as slowly as I can Lonesome War doesn't seem to help if we do it in slow motion either so
it's good for you to be prepared because some people in some regions in North America might
just speak that way so I hope that you enjoyed all of these secrets I have more secrets coming
next week I hope that you can join me again and I look forward to seeing you then bye everybody
