1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,519 I gotta tell you, I was shocked when she said go away. I 2 00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:21,640 can still hear her voice. You'll notice she said go away and not go 3 00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:37,679 away. Let's check it out. Welcome to another Happy English podcast, coming 4 00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:42,119 to you from New York City. And here's your English teacher, Michael. 5 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,679 All right, thank you, John, and thanks everyone. It's Michael here 6 00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:54,320 from Happy English and I help people speak English better. This is Happy English 7 00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:03,960 Podcast, Episode seventy ten. The tiny w American English pronunciation is interesting. 8 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,480 A lot of English learners tell me that Americans talk too quickly, but I 9 00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:15,680 would say it's more the style of speaking than the speed. One interesting feature 10 00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:25,000 of spoken American English is the fact that we do not like to stop after 11 00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:33,439 each word in a sentence. Quite often, the end of one word links 12 00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:38,719 with the beginning of the next word. For this English lesson, we're going 13 00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:44,799 to look at one particular sound that happens when one word ends with a vowel 14 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:51,200 sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound. And to zoom in 15 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,280 a bit deeper, let's look at the word go when it's followed by a 16 00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:02,799 word that starts with a vowel sound. Let's start with the phrase go away. 17 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:13,560 The O sound of go is followed by the uh sound of away go 18 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:21,319 away. But when you pronounce those two words without stopping the flow of air 19 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:29,879 coming out of your mouth, a tiny w appears between go away, go 20 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:49,120 away, go away. Here's the difference go away versus go away. Let's 21 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:57,039 practice ten short sentences that feature go followed by another word that begins with a 22 00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:01,120 vowel. The first one is, please, please go away from here, 23 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:09,000 go away. Please go away from here, Please go away from here, 24 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:16,680 Please go away from here. Go around. Just go around the block, 25 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:24,240 go around. Just go around the block. Just go around the block. 26 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:32,199 Just go around the block. Go anywhere. I didn't go anywhere this weekend. 27 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:40,360 Go anywhere. I didn't go anywhere this weekend. I didn't go anywhere 28 00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:49,479 this weekend. I didn't go anywhere this weekend. Go everywhere. The kids 29 00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:58,000 have to go everywhere their mom goes. Go everywhere.
