The Thought Chunking Exercise + Analysis of Flow | American English Pronunciation

Last time, we introduced the general idea of "thought chunking" and how it applies to languages. Today, we're doing an exercise to practice identifying thought chunks and we'll also analyze the details. Like before, our main focus here is on pronunciation and flow of speech rather than grammar or vocabulary.

Fantastic! Please more video about chunking!!

[@Maryana_B]

Your exercises help a lot to understand the inner harmony in the text. This video explains the idea very clearly.

[@deliohector]

Great video. Please do more of these chunking videos!

[@harnijan4452]

Please do more of these chunking videos

[@mdaleem7053]

Plz make more of these exercises videos

[@colourcraze]

I like this kind of lesson a lot. I think it would be good to use a clip of a real conversation, if possible!

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

I got that idea, too. TH-cam copyright is a minefield, but I should be able to do it

[@shaziahaisan2072]

Thank you so much . Nice work .... So helpful. Want more of this type of exercises.
And please share some text so we can try ourselves 🌷♥️

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

I will be making more in the future 🙂 I included a link to the text in the description so you can try before you see the answers. I'll be doing that for every video like this

[@shaziahaisan2072]

@@NativeEnglishHacks Your style of teaching is marvelous, sir I knew you mentioned the text in the description , actually I wanted more samples of the text other than in yr video.
And Im sorry if I bother you ♥️🌷

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Oh, I see. You can do this exercise with any audio source that has a transcription. Podcasts are a good option

[@franklinbalarezo4353]

Pls, make more exercises like that

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Thanks for letting me know! I plan on it after I finish the rest of the course, which should be in the next 2.5 months or so 🙂

[@deliohector]

Could you please add some discourse markers in your next chunking exercises?

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

Well, that's certainly related, but it's a bit of a different topic and more about vocabulary and navigating speech than pronunciation and smoothness of speech, which is the focus here. I'll be making chunking videos for grammar and vocabulary (including things like discourse markers) in the future :) I also might try to use clips from other sources as the basis of some lessons like this, so you'll probably see some markers in that.

[@finn6981]

could you make a video on the consonant clusters kt, ft, and pt? ive seen some teachers saying it's a D, but is it really? doesn't it sound weird? and how do I even make that D?
I don't know what to do with the words after, comfortable, chapter, actor, viktor, etc, because I would pronounce them with a strong t before. help

[@NativeEnglishHacks]

I seem to be getting a lot of questions about this, so I'll add it to the list of the main course. I can tell you now, though, that you definitely *don't* want to do a strong T there.

[@finn6981]

@@NativeEnglishHacks ok 🙂

[@sabtainahmed3509]

Real conversation please
