The superlative

In this video series, you will learn how to
pronounce the 100 most common words in American

Past simple

I got this idea when I saw a couple of other
videos on this topic, and I was horrified

In those videos, people were teaching the
full pronunciation of these words, like: THAT,

So many of the 100 most common words are function
words and they reduce.

It is completely unnatural to fully pronounce
each word in American English.

This sentence is four words, and each one
of these words is in the 100 most common words

That's the full pronunciation of each of
those words.

And if that's all you learn about the pronunciation,
then this is how you would pronounce that

Well, I don't want any of my students thinking
that that is the correct way to pronounce

Rhythm in American English is extremely important
for capturing the character of the language:

for understanding Americans when they speak,
and for sounding natural and being easily

Some syllables are long, and some are very
very short.

This contrast is the rhythm of American English.

In order to make those short syllables really
short, some words in American English, some

This means a sound changes or is dropped.

And everybody studying English should know
these.

Let's take our sentence again and talk about
the real pronunciation of it.

So as we go through the 100 most common words
in American English here, we're going to

talk about rhythm and reductions at the same
time, to make sure that you're learning

the correct pronunciation, not the full pronunciation,
which is rarely used in most function words.

This is when the next word begins with a consonant.

For example, “the most”, the, the
most.

It's usually pronounced with the EE vowel,
the, the, the.

If the next word begins with a vowel or diphthong,
for example, “the other”, the, the, the.

The most important thing about the pronunciation
of this word is that it should be said very

The next word is 'be', and I assume this
means the verb TO BE, conjugated.

I am, you are, he is, she is, it is, we are,
they are.

The important thing to know about these pronunciations
is that they will almost always be said in

a contraction, 'I am' becomes I'm, I'm,
I'm.

Sometimes we reduce this even further we change
a sound, we dropped the vowel.
