In the US, summer is for sand, sun, and blockbuster movies.

And this summer, we're going to use those movies to learn English and study how to sound American.

Every video this summer is going to be a Study English with Movies video.

We'll pull scenes from the summer's hottest movies, as well as favorite movies from years past.

It's amazing what we can discover by studying even a small bit of English dialogue.

We'll study how to understand movies, what makes Americans sound American,

and of course, any interesting vocabulary phrasal verbs or idioms that come up in the scenes we study.

I call this kind of exercise a Ben Franklin exercise.

Then we'll do an in-depth analysis of what we hear together.

This is going to be so much fun! Be sure to tell your friends and spread the word

that all summer long, every Tuesday, we're studying English with movies here at Rachel's English.

If you find this recording, don't feel bad about this.

Just for the record, being adrift in space with zero promise of rescue is more fun than it sounds.

How was the word 'if' pronounced? Do you hear 'if'?

I hear ffyou-- ffyou-- I hear the F sound right with the Y sound, ffyou-- ffyou-- It sounds like the word 'few'

because it's the F consonant and the JU diphthong. The IH vowel is dropped and the consonant is linked in.

What are the stressed words in this thought group? Listen again.

as the two most stressed syllables. If and you, said really quickly. Ffyou-- ffyou-- ffyou--

This and the first syllable of 'recording' which is unstressed, has the IH vowel, re-- don't say: rii--,

re-- re-- re--. This re--  This re--  This re--  This re--

These are two more unstressed syllables, lower in pitch, said quickly before the stressed syllable, cor--, recording.

Whoa! Different day, different outfit, important announcement.

Did you know that with this video, I made a free audio lesson that you can download?

In fact, I'm doing this for each one of the youtube videos I'm making this summer,

all 11 of the Learn English with Movies videos.

So follow this link, or find the link in the video description to get your FREE downloadable audio lesson.

It's where you're going to train all of the things that you've learned about pronunciation in this video.

So we have the stressed word, find, our verb, what happens to the D here? Let's listen.

It's dropped. Sometimes, we drop T and D, or any consonant between two other consonants, in this case,

I definitely hear him doing it. The sound before is an N consonant, the sound after is the voiced TH,

and he drops that D. Find this, find this. Can you do that with no D, smoothly linked together? Find this. Find this.

That makes it a little easier to link the words.

If you look up the pronunciation of the word 'recording' you'll see that the vowel in the stressed syllable is the AW

as in law vowel. But when this vowel is followed by R, it's not pure, it's not AW, but it's

oh, oh, it's more closed, the lips round more, the tongue pulls back a little bit more. The R influences this vowel.

Recording-- recording-- recording--
Don't feel bad about this.

Hey guys! I'm out for a walk, listening to an audiobook, and I thought this is the perfect time

to tell you about Audible, who's sponsoring this video. It's a great resource

for native speakers speaking American English.

The thing I love about Audible is their huge selection. Everyone can find something.

If you work in economics, you can find an audio book about economics.

As you listen, you'll be hearing the specialized words that are specific to conversations you'll be having.

You can hear them pronounced over and over by native speakers.

And you can also hear them use the kinds of phrases you'll need to describe topics in economics

or whatever topic specifically you have conversations about.

They also have audible originals, which are exclusive audiobooks you can't get anywhere else

on any other platform. I am planning on listening to this one when I go on vacation this summer.

Because they're kindly sponsoring this video, you can get your first audio book for free,

plus two audible originals when you try audible for 30 days. Visit audible.com/rachelsenglish

or text rachelsenglish, all one word, to 500-500.

On my walk, I'm listening to The Great Gatsby read by Jake Gyllenhaal,

an American classic, I love Jake Gyllenhaal's voice, great neutral American accent.

When you find a good title, put it in the comments here, I'm always looking for recommendations.

So again, you can check out audible.com/rachelsenglish or text rachelsenglish, all one word, to 500-500

if you live here in the US. Okay, let's get back to our movie Ben Franklin speech analysis.

Don't feel bad about this. All right, the second part of the sentence, this whole thought group is lower in energy,

it's not as loud and especially towards the end, it gets a little bit of the popcorn quality of the voice,

where there's not as much air engaging the vocal cords.

In fact, let's just listen to the last three words. Bad about this.

Do you hear how low on energy that is? Bad about this.

It's partly because this character is running out of energy, he's run out of food and water,
