Hello! My name is Chris. This is a free lesson on Learn British English Free on
YouTube. Welcome. In this lesson I'm going to help you say some long words in
English. I have examples to show you and to talk about. An important thing to know
is syllables - this means like how many sounds in each word. For example: party
party: two sounds; two syllables 'party' This is important to understand how to
say these longer words. They're difficult when you learn English so please don't
worry - I will help you. Please look at the list by the video: you can read the
subtitles or captions to understand more. I feel comfortable? Comfortable? No thank
you - comfortable, please it looks like four
sounds - four syllables - but when we speak like natural speakers we often use only
three: comfortable I write the phonetic transcription by the word as well; it can
help you if you know about that. Please watch: /ˈkʌm.ftə.bəl/
It's difficult - 'f' and 't' together - /ftə/ in the middle - /ftə/ - /ˈkʌm.ftə.bəl/ I feel comfortable
I feel comfortable. Next one memory it's possible quicker is memory /ˈmem.ri/ I have
a good memory. Do you have a good memory for English vocabulary?
Number three is a very good one. In fact, it's marvellous marvellous two
sounds listen again /ˈmɑː.vləs/ That's marvellous; /ˈmɑː.vləs/ The weather
today is simply marvellous. A really important one: chocolate chocolate
chocolate
/ˈtʃɒ.klət/
I love chocolate
Number five: temperature? Temperature?
Temperature, please.
/ˈtem.prə.tʃər/ The temperature drops in winter. Six is like Harry Potter:
magically - no thank you. Magically /ˈmæ.dʒɪ.kli/ He did that
magically. '-cally' = /.kli/ Magically. The next one is similar actually actually no
thank you. Actually please /ˈæk.tʃə.li/ Actually, saying
'actually''s not so hard.
The last two examples are the same theme: it's to do with the endings of regular
verbs in the past simple or past participle. Please watch the other lesson
I did about these endings and how to pronounce them - I'll put it on here for
you. Collapsed - no, thank you. Attached - no, thank you; we don't need
three sounds 'collapse-it'; 'attach-it'; we just need two: collapsed /kəˈlæpst/
attached
/əˈtætʃt/
I sent you an email and I attached a copy of the letter. Collapsed. Attached.
One more time for the whole list: comfortable; memory; marvellous; chocolate;
temperature;
magically;
actually;
collapsed;
attached
