Hi. I'm Tim and this is my Pronunciation workshop.

現在進行式

Here I'm going to show you how English is really spoken. Come on, let's go inside.

情態助動詞 A2

When you meet someone for the first time, there are several things you can say. If you want

to be formal, you could say 'How do you do?' But there is another, less formal expression.

Do you know what it is? Let's meet some of the people of London.

Well, it's nice to meet you too. Now, the

word 'meet' ends in the sound /t/, and the word 'you' begins with /j/, don't they? Or

do they? Listen again. What can you actually hear when these two sounds come together?

In fluent speech, when one word ends in /t/

and the next begins with a /j/ sound, like 'you' or 'yours', then the two sounds come

together and change to /ʧ/. So 'meet you' becomes /miːʧuː/. This is an example of assimilation.

Why, you little... I'm gonna get you. I have

a very particular set of skills. Skills that make me a nightmare for someone like you. I

will hunt you down. I will find you. And I will put shaving cream on your pillow.

Brothers eh?! Well I guess that goes to show that you can't always get what you want. Now, time to start plotting my revenge.
