00:00:02,439 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to speak

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,560
naturally in a minute from Happy English. I'm here every

3
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:14,439
Sunday with a quick one point lesson to help you

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:19,839
improve your pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. And if you want

5
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:23,719
to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English podcast

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,399
on YouTube now. In every day spoken American English, we

7
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:34,840
often connect vowel sounds with a very small, quick W sound.

8
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:39,240
I like to call this the tiny W. The tiny

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,439
W happens when one word ends with an ooh sound

10
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:48,719
and the next word begins with a vowel sound like

11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,920
do it. We don't stop the sound, and in one

12
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:00,359
breath we say do it. It's not do it, it's

13
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:05,359
do it. I'm gonna do it tomorrow. Did you hear

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,359
the tiny W? I'm gonna do it tomorrow. Here are

15
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:17,159
some other examples. You are sounds like you are. You

16
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:24,040
are a very nice person. Who else sounds like who else?

17
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,560
Who else is coming to the party? To ask sounds

18
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,480
like to ask You need to ask the boss. Be

19
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,120

20
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:41,959
