TRANSCRIPT:
Do you want to improve your listening skills of fast English so you can understand native English speakers in any context. Well, that's what you'll do today. Welcome back to JForrest English. My name is Jennifer and today you're going to test your listening skills. This is all fun lesson. Now let's get started. Here are your instructions for the entire lesson? I'm going to say a sentence and I'm going to say it at a fast-paced, the way I would speak to my friends or colleagues. I'm going to use phrasal verbs idioms and expressions and I'm going to use natural pronunciation and you're going to test your listening skills. I will say each sentence, three times write down exactly what you hear in the comments section. And then after I'll explain exactly what I said, the expression I use and the natural pronunciation changes. Okay, our first listening test. Did you get that one? I said, did you break it to him first? Let's talk about the pronunciation. Changes. Did you? We pronounce this as didja, didja, didja. So I combine those sounds together and I take you and I change it to ya. Did you did you did you break it to him? Notice the last two words, really sounded like one
word Tim. Tim, it almost sounded like Tim the name Tim and that's because we frequently get rid of the H on him and her at a natural pace. And we connect it to the word before. So it really sounds like em em and then you hear the from to Tim, Tim, did you break it to him? Now, what does this mean to break something?
To someone is an expression and we use this when you share news or information with someone but it's always negative. So maybe you applied for a promotion but you're not going to get the promotion so that's the negative news. Did you break it to them? That he's not getting the promotion. So did you share this negative news with him?
Him, did you break it to him? Our next listening, test. Remember to put what you hear in the comments, cut it out. Would you cut it out? Would you cut it out? Would you did you get that one? I said, cut it out, would you first? Let's talk about pronunciation. Did y'all the same thing is happening here with? Would you you becomes yah and I combine. Those sounds whoo.
Jia Jia Jia? Would you would you, would you cut it out? Would you now let's talk about cut it out. You'll notice, we have teased in between vowels in American English, when a t comes between vowels, we change that to a, a very soft deep because they get out, cut it out, and I pronounce all three as one. Cut it out, cut it out.
It out, cut it out, cut it out. Would you the expression to cut something out? Means to stop something that is annoying or frustrating or irritating or unwanted. So, let's say you're in a meeting for work. And in the background, your kids are going crazy. They're screaming, they're yelling, they're fighting. This is behavior. That is unwanted frustrating irritating.
Annoying and you want them to stop so you can say to your kids cut it out. Would y'all are next? Listening exercise? Right? What you hear in the comments.
You got to kick it up a notch.
You gotta kick it up a notch, you got to kick it up a notch. Did you get that one? I said you gotta kick it up a notch. First notice how I used gotta? This is a reduction. It's a combination of the words dot to and it's pronounced as one. Gotta you gotta you can also say you've gotta you
You have got to. But in American English, it's very common to just say you gotta you gotta, you got to is the same as you have to.

I don't know why I hear "them" Instead of "him". For example, when you said: " Did you break it to him", What I heard is "Did you break it to them" 😢😢😢😢😢

Don't worry, those two are virtually indistinguishable in fast speech. It's context that makes it obvious.

[@stephanestephane4291]

Yes Yes Yes 😁 As you said, it's a fun and helpful exercise. - Break it to him, I heard to them, to'em, instead of to him 🙄 - About cut it out.... I know and I can use "stop it", and I knew there is an equivalent of stop it with the verb cut, so I would likely have understood it in context. But without context, it's more vague, I could think you're asking for cutting a slice of cake or something 😂 😂 - I didn't know the meaning of kick up, I only know kick out and kick off - I got the last two ones right... Once again, I notice that you are really attentive to the needs of your students so you would certainly be the best personal coach ! 👍 A bit lengthy, sorry 😁...

Hi Jennifer! This was an interesting lesson. Listening exercise: 1) Did you break it to him? 2) Cut it out, would you? 3) You got to kick it up a notch. 4) Don't let him get to you. 5) What are you looking at? Score 4,5/5, number 3 was the most difficult one.

Taking a complete scene from a movie, TV show, or any other source, rather than relying solely on my own words, would be highly beneficial. We've become accustomed to your accent, and experiencing authentic dialogue would enhance our understanding and familiarity. It's a wonderful way to immerse ourselves in real-world language usage.

Hi! I've unwantedly run into this video and I'm more focused on British English, so I'm wondering that such phrases pronounced by a British person would sound quite different, i.e. more pronounced "t" and almost missing "r". Anyway, it's fine to me as anyone learning a foreign language should listen different accents as much as possible.

another practical lesson! I have two questions:while i was listening to the sentences,I was puzzled by the word "him" because it's very similar to the fast pronunciation of "them" how can i distinguish them? and my next question is:can you explain the usage of "onto"?

[@JForrestEnglish]

For "them/him" you won't hear the difference in pronunciation, but the context should be obvious. You'll know I'm talking about one man (him) or a group (them).

To fix his messed up hair. (To fixis messedupair) i wanna know if i can pronounce this sentece like that as well because. I am skipping the H

[@JForrestEnglish]

Don't drop the H on "hair". We only drop it in certain circumstances like, his/her/them. If in doubt, pronounce the H.

[@ghadahafez5011]

Is "Don't let him get to you" could be "Don't let them get to you" ? cause le-dim could be let him or let them?

[@JForrestEnglish]

Yes, you're right. The difference between the two is so subtly it would be difficult to understand. It's usually context that would make it obvious. I'm clearly talking about one person (him) or a group of people (them).
