Hi, I'm Hiro from Japan 👋 I am grateful to your videos because it is hard to find a lesson that focuses on the rythm of American English on KZbin. Just listening to your English helps me pick up tips to pronounce sentences. Thank you. P.S. I like your Judo shirt👍️

Do you offer private English classes?

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Yes, but only consultations and the mouth posture course that I'm building. Nothing else. You can learn more here: italki.com/teacher/1507633

0:42 I've been trying to get the hang of these two annoying tenses Present Perfect & Past simple, but I fail every single time. each teacher says something different, and when I go to hear what native speakers really say it's completely different from what they teach their students.

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

I know. I'll be fixing that problem in future lessons, don't worry. It'll actually be part of the verb book I'm working on, too.

[@stupiditydeliveryservice1599]

If it's of any help to you, I'll just leave it here You can use Present Perfect if something happened or did not happen: 1. Just now - I've just seen a dog fighting with a mouse 2. Recently, yet, already - He's come back from France recently 3. So far, to this point - I've learned a lot about life so far 4. Never, ever, in your life, as a part of your life experience - I've never heard such a dumb thing before In all the cases above, PP has a TENDENCY to appear, you can use Past Simple instead just fine. You don't have to always use those indicators (just now, so far, ever) to use PP, most of the time they're simply implied in our speech. But you can never use PP if: 1. You specify a time - yesterday, a week ago, in 2020, 'when I was there' and so on 2. You tell a story - 'I woke up, had dinner and went out, after that...' and so on However, all the listed examples are examples of PP used to talk about the past. But if you mention how long something has happened, you actually use PP to talk about the present. 1. He has worked here for ten years (or he has been working here for 10 years) - He started working here 10 years ago, he did not quit this job over those 10 years, and he is still working here now 2. He worked here for ten years - He worked here before, it lastet ten years, he does not work here now It might seem confusing at first, but maybe you'll find here something you haven't before (yet)

@@stupiditydeliveryservice1599 yeah sure, he has "come" back from France recently.

i would say a stressed syllable is relatively(not absolutely) louder and longer than those unstressed syllables around it

[@hyacinth120]

Well, let's go for the fundamental definition of the word Itself - "Stress", in the context of pronunciation. To stress is to emphasize, to stress is to make it stand out, to stress is to highlight or accentuate. Thanks much ☺️

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Isn't the difference inherently relative?

[@allenling1767]

​@@NativeEnglishHacks yes, i found something when i spoken some sentences, maybe not a big deal. more close you move toward the end of a sentence, lower your voice volume will be. so you can not produce a very louder streesed syllable because your voice volume is low, but still you can produce a relatively louder a stressed syllable to differentiate the stressed and unstressed. for example, lets say your voice volume is going to be 10, 5, 4, 3, 2 as you move toward the end of a sentence, you can produce a stressed syllable with a volume of 2, and a unstressed syllable with a volume of 1.5. when i spoken a sentence, i always tried to overemphasize the stressed syllables by saying them very loud even i was close to the end of sentence because stressed syllables should be louder and longer , but given that my voice is going to be lower and lower, i can not say them very loud, and i should not.

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

I see. That has more to do with intonation and sentence flow. This lesson was focused on getting the basic mechanics of stressed vs unstressed and the arc. I'll be making a lesson that addresses what you're talking about in the near future

[@allenling1767]

​@@NativeEnglishHacks i am sorry for posting comment here again, these days there are someting comes in my mind, and i hope that this would not be disturbing for you. the relatively stressed relationship not just exists between the stressed syllables and unstressed syllables, also between the vowels and the consonants, more percisely, between the vowels and the consonants in a syllable and we are going to stress the vowels and produce the consonants shorter and quicker . For example the word fine, we stresse the AI and produce the F at the beginning of the word and the N at the end of the word shorter and quicker. of course. and we do the same thing when we say the word player. and the word creative is another example, we produce the suffix TIV shorter and quicker since it is a unstressed syllable, but should we really make all three sounds to be shorter and quicker? maybe in a fast speaking conversaton, all of these three sounds would be really shorter and quicker. but we can emphasize the vowel I and let the t and v to be shorter and quicker, then we could make a distinction between the suffix TIV and the suffix TED. shorter T and shorter V together affect the I sound to make TIV to be distinguished. if i can remember correctly, a syllable consists of a vowel and some consonants, and no consonants is OK . when we say a word, we always say the syllables one by one, louder for stressed ones and shorter for unstressed ones. but even in a unstressed syllable, we need to emphasize the vowels, and let the consonants even shorter and quicker. the stop consonants is one of significant exmaples. in fact, persionally i found that it was easier to pronounce in this way. maybe probably i was wrong, after all i am not a language expert like you, just someone who is trying to learn english. i hope that maybe this could get your attention and you could share your ideas.

Hi Josh! In the song, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHm6faSLgamNgbs , the t is really dropped in the excerpt " don't you cry tonight", in 'don''t ? Thanks in advance.

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

It's definitely there, though it's hard to tell if it's being blended with the Y into Ch or if it's just being enunciated. It can be dropped here, but the singer isn't dropping it

[@iiAbdullah635]

I hear "donchu"
