Welcome to the Influency Podcast. I'm Hadar and

0:02

this is episode number 398. Today

0:06

we are going to practice connected speech

0:09

in very common daily phrases.

0:22

Hey everyone, thank you so much

0:25

for joining today for another episode

0:27

of the Influency Podcast. Today we

0:29

have an excellent English practice because

0:32

today you are not only going

0:34

to practice connected speech,

0:37

which is how we put

0:41

words together or connect

0:43

words together or express

0:45

thoughts. Because we

0:47

express thoughts in groups

0:49

of words rather than in

0:52

single words like I'm

0:55

showing you now. So

0:59

when we speak in English words

1:01

are grouped together and I think

1:03

it is so incredibly important for

1:06

clear communication. So this is why

1:08

I always talk about connected speech,

1:10

not always but often. And

1:13

this is why specifically today I want

1:15

to practice connected speech. But

1:18

we're not just going to practice

1:20

connected speech. We're going to

1:22

do it while drilling, repeating,

1:24

practicing, very common

1:26

phrases. So that

1:29

is going to be a good exercise for you

1:31

to practice connected speech

1:33

in phrases you actually use

1:36

every single day if you use English daily.

1:39

And if not, you're

1:41

likely to use these phrases the next time you speak

1:43

in English. So this

1:45

is why I think this episode

1:47

is so incredibly cool and helpful

1:50

because whether you'd like to practice

1:52

some common phrases and become more

1:54

aware of such phrases, or

1:56

whether you would like to focus on connected

1:58

speech, episode is

2:01

for you. Now to

2:03

make it extra special for you,

2:06

I created a practice sheet with

2:08

these phrases and a specific audio

2:11

that repeats those phrases so you can repeat

2:13

those phrases with me without having to listen

2:15

to the episode again. Of

2:17

course you can listen to the episode itself

2:19

as many times as you'd like with

2:22

all my explanations, but if you just

2:24

want the phrases, I created a free

2:27

PDF for you that you can download

2:29

and play while you're in your car

2:31

or walking around and practice

2:33

those phrases with me so

2:36

you benefit from this

2:38

even more. Alright, so let's go

2:40

ahead and listen to today's episode.

2:48

I got it.

2:52

You need help? What are

2:54

you doing? Hey everyone,

2:56

it's Hadar. Today we are going

2:58

to practice connected speech and we're

3:01

going to do that while practicing

3:03

very common daily expressions that we

3:05

use in our day-to-day conversation. So

3:07

we're going to achieve two things.

3:10

The first, we are going to

3:12

practice connected speech and the

3:14

second, we are going to

3:16

practice and make more available

3:19

common daily phrases so you

3:21

can feel more confident using

3:23

them regularly. But first,

3:25

let's talk a little bit about connected speech.

3:27

Connected speech is the way we connect a

3:29

thought or an idea or

3:32

a part of a sentence together.

3:35

In English, when we think

3:37

of a thought inside

3:39

a sentence, all the

3:42

words are connected within the same

3:44

breath so it actually feels like

3:46

it's one long word like I'm

3:48

doing right now. We

3:51

don't separate the speech

3:54

Word by word. However, A lot

3:57

of speakers of English in the

3:59

second language tend to do that.

4:01

because they want to sound more

4:03

clear or maybe these are habits

4:06

that they bring into English from

4:08

their first language. And while that's

4:10

totally valid sometimes in the attempt

4:13

at sounding cleaver, it actually prevents

4:15

them from sounding clear because people

4:17

are used to hearing sauce grouped

4:19

together so it makes it easier

4:22

for you to be understood in

4:24

to deliver your message. When.

4:26

You connect worth together. I actually have

4:28

a long video giving it some tips

4:31

on how to use connected speech. I'm

4:33

going to link it in the description

4:35

below, but today we're not going to

4:37

go deep into connected speech to learn

4:39

the idea through practice. In like I

4:41

said, the practice is going to be

4:43

a very, very useful phrases so that

4:45

you can start using them more confidently

4:47

in your day to day life. Now

4:50

to make it even better, I created

4:52

a free pdf and audio practice so

4:54

that after this video you can download

4:56

it for free and practice at with

4:58

me on the go so that it

5:00

you can make it a habit through

5:02

repetition and through practice. and I just

5:04

woke. Learning. It once

5:06

And that said, okay so don't

5:09

say are trying to make it

5:11

easy for you, I am. but

5:13

you will have to do a

5:15

little bit as well by practicing

5:17

with me. Some click to download

10:48

All right. That is it. Connected

10:50

speech in 25 very common conversational

10:53

phrases. I hope you found it

10:55

helpful. And if you did, make

10:57

sure you download the PDF and

10:59

audio practice so you can continue

11:01

practicing it through repetition and

11:03

connected speech practice. You see what

11:05

we did there? How we connected the words together, and all

11:08

of a sudden, it was a

11:10

mishmash of syllables. But when you put

11:12

it together, it just sounds like

11:15

the phrase. Confusing,

11:17

but then when you zoom

11:19

out, you're like, oh, I get

11:22

it. Now, remember that connected

11:24

speech will help you sound clearer,

11:26

but also, it will really help

11:28

you understand speakers better because when

11:30

you practice it, your brain understands

11:32

how it works, and then you

11:34

are more likely to understand it

11:36

when you hear it, to recognize

11:39

it, to recognize those connections and

11:41

to make sense of it. So

11:43

this practice is not less important

11:45

for comprehension than it is for

11:47

pronunciation. Okay? So remember

11:49

that. Keep practicing. You got

11:52

this. Thank you so

11:54

much for being here. Have a beautiful, beautiful rest of

11:56

the day, and I will see you next week in

11:58

the next video. Bye.
