| 0:06 | Hello. I'm Sammy, and I like to practice American English. |
| 0:11 | This is part one of the connected speech series. |
| 0:15 | Today, we'll discuss elision. |
| 0:20 | What is elision? |
| 0:22 | It means omitting one or more sounds in a word or phrase to make it easier to pronounce. |
| 0:30 | This is used in casual informal speech. |
| 0:34 | Elision can help your American English sound smoother and more natural. |
| 0:40 | American English has a few patterns of elision in casual speech |
| 0:46 | but today we will practice T and D |
| 0:52 | What do you notice about the pronunciation of the underlined words in this sentence? |
| 0:59 | Formal speech: The handsome movie star acts in a film about friendship between a father and son. |
| 1:10 | Now in casual speech. |
| 1:13 | The "hansome" movie star "acks" in a film about "frienship" between a "father an son." |
| 1:22 | Whenever T or D comes between two consonants at the end of a syllable |
| 1:28 | it gets elided, which means that it doesn't get pronounced. |
| 1:34 | For example, instead of scripts we say "scrips." |
| 1:40 | And instead of friendship we say "frienship." |
| 1:45 | Let's practice pronouncing the following words using T and D elision. |
| 2:07 | T and D elision can even happen between two words. |
| 2:12 | For example, you pronounce "las chance" |
| 2:17 | instead of "last chance" because the T does not get pronounced. |
| 2:25 | Other examples are "father an son" "han bag" "mos popular" "lef turn" "firs three" "nex day" |
| 2:39 | Let's practice! |
| 2:40 | Read the following sentences and use T and D elision |
| 2:46 | for the underlined sounds. |
| 3:15 | I started a "frienship" with the "hansome" artist. He "pains" "lanscapes." |
| 3:22 | For the "pas three" years he's worked hard "an" become successful. |
| 3:27 | Now, his "mos" famous painting is printed on "poscards." |
| 3:32 | Next time, we'll have part two of the connected speech series |
| 3:37 | about informal contractions. |
| 3:40 | This is American English. Thanks for watching. |
