hello everyone welcome to today's daily
pronunciation video my name is Ana
this is English like a native and every
day this week I have been up on YouTube
live helping you for 10 minutes to learn
some new pronunciation maybe you've
covered it before maybe it's not new but
just to perfect your pronunciation this
could be helpful for natives and for non
natives as well hello everyone good
morning new yar hello Brian hello Mack
depeche Eric hi who else we got Mustafa
Thomas Keller died hello in Nepal
wonderful so as this is only ten minutes
long let's get started shall we
so today we are looking at the short
vowel ah ah so yesterday we did the long
what did we do yesterday we did or
didn't week or so the long vowel or if
you weren't here yesterday then the
videos do stay on this channel so do go
and check those out but someone asked me
what is the difference between off and
or they're both exactly the same shape
in the mouth so we have to imagine like
you have a huge marble in your mouth and
there's a big space the tongue is down
or and it's the same with this it's just
shorter or all but you'll notice this
slightly more space between the lips
[Music]
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh all right
that's the main difference and of course
one is long and one is short so we're
going to look today at pronunciation
involving the short vowel or it appears
in words such as hot hot so wait to
repeat this after me hot it is hot today
it is hot today make sure you're not
constricting that H I don't want to hear
any
Hots and I don't want anyone missing off
that h-i there sometimes my students say
oh it is very hot today but we want a
nice aspart H it's very hot today we
also have this sound in the word what
what this is a funny one because
sometimes I hear people saying what what
but it's not even though it's got an A
we have this o sound so make sure you
change that vowel into Oh what what what
do you think it's hot good okay we also
have it in the word got got what have
you got got so always making sure we
have that big wide space hello if you're
joining me for the very first time in
fact now that you're all here well I
have about 75 of you in why don't you
all make me very happy and press that
big thumb button you know that a thumb
makes me happy and if you're enjoying

the like button and if you're not
already a subscriber then do subscribe
and press the bell notification button
next to subscribe and that will tell you
every time I'm live great so let's carry
on we have hot what got so let's now put
it into a sentence we have lotty which
is a name which is short for Charlotte
so some people who are called Charlotte
might prefer to be called lofty lofty
shot off often Lottie shot off often now
there's a few things to talk about here
shut off shut off this is a phrasal verb
which means to to leave very quickly so
if I leave the house very quickly I
might shoot off and I tell you I'm sorry
I'm late for a meeting I have to shoot
off I have to leave very quickly so if
somebody
shot off they left very quickly like
they were shot from a gun they went very
quickly
hello everyone joining me here hello
so we have a Marathi shot off so she
left very quickly often so she left
regularly very quickly so Lottie shot
off often now many people ask me do I
pronounce the T in often the answer is
in standard British English you can
pronounce it either way you can say
often often or you can say often often
often often it's completely up to you
the Cambridge dictionary gives both
pronunciations because both are widely
used and widely accepted so often or
often completely your choice whichever
you prefer I tend to mix it up sometimes
I say often sometimes I say often
depends how I feel okay so Lottie shot
off often then we have the next sentence
what have you got Scott so I'm asking
Scott to what he possesses what have you
got Scott what have you got Scott how
are you finding that what have you got
Scott make sure we have a nice rounded W
we covered this down the other day what
what have you got Scott what have you
got Scott good then we have not a cross
but a dot not a cross but a dot not a
cross but a dot you'll notice that I'm
changing these into a schwa sound o
rather st. ah not a cross but a dot we
wouldn't say that it doesn't sound
natural we change this into schwa make
it week not a nutter not across butter
butter dot
not across butter dot and hipolito says
could you explain again what Lottie is
Lottie is a name of a person a female
named so it's a name it's a short name
for Charlotte Charlotte locked Lottie
Charlotte Lottie it's just short shorter
name and yes Mohammed it's almost like
this is one word butter butter not a
butter not across butter dot ok great ok
let's carry on can you see the next one
yes you can don't hog that spot don't
hog that spot don't hog what I'm saying
is don't don't take possession of so if
you hog something if you ha get you keep
it to yourself
you and for example if if I'm a child
and there is a toy box full of toys and
I have all the toys I'm playing with all
the toys and keeping all the toys close
to me so no other children can play you
could say that I am hogging the toys if
I'm on the city on the couch and rather
than sitting in one place I'm lying
across the whole couch so no one else
can sit down I'm hogging the couch so
someone might say don't hog the couch
let the others sit down and by saying
that spot we mean that place don't hog
that place don't hog that spot good all
right let's do the last few we have oh
yes don't forget don't forget don't
forget too hot for a hot pot too hot for
a hot pot a hot pot is a dish of food a
meal it's like a stew it's meat and
potatoes in like a stock
in water that's all boiled together to
make a very tasty stew so too hot for a
hot pot today it's too hot for a hot pot
too hot furro furro furro hot pot too
hot for a hot pot excellent or we're
