So today I'm answering a question from a
student. I'll show you the exact question.
I'm going to share my screen and share
the question here. So this is a question
from Amer Mossa Naser and he asked
how can I pronounce the word
automatically in the right way? You can
see that. I'll make it really big.
I asked you before how can I pronounce
the word automatically in a right way.
Ok so first of all when you're asking a
teacher you don't need to say this part
it sounds a little bit pushy, but I'm
going to answer because I think it's a
great question and I thank you, Amer, for
your great question. Who, Amer, who you are
a great motivated English student part
of our Go Natural English community and
I think that your question can help us
in a lot of ways. It's a very specific
question but we can learn three things
about American English pronunciation
from your one question ,so I love it. I
love it. I love it.
So if it's okay with you all if I share
three secrets of pronunciation
and how to pronounce this word correctly

alright cool I see you guys are ready to

so let's actually take a look at the
word automatically and when I say it
obviously you can hear me pronouncing it
correctly but I'm going to share my screen
again so that you can see the word
spelled out
ok so we have it here automatically
automatically ok very good so there's
three things that I want to teach you
from this one word
first of all go ahead and repeat it
after me automatically ok we're going to
break it down the first mistake that I
hear a lot of English learners make is
separating the vowels they say
automatically.
There's no a-u, this is aa --
automatically maybe it would be helpful for you
to see my face
yes ah automatically not oh it's
automatically ok you have to make that
face
ah automatically in the hands please do
it now
ah automatically now the second thing
I'm going quickly second thing is that
when we have a letter T between two
vowel sounds it is not a T anymore so
the mistake is to say automatically
we should say if we want to speak like a
North American automatically
automatically do your the D sound not
the T sound? It's like water, butter, better,
automatically. Ok
and third the third point that you need
to know is the stress in this word. So is
it automatically? Is it automatically? I can't watch co not even say it.
I can't say it wrong. Or is it
automatically?Or it is automatically? Or is
it automatically? It's so hard for me
to say wrong obviously it it
automatically automatically so
automatically you'll notice that there's
a strong syllable. Automatically. Automatically.
This is a long word. It's important to put the
stress on the stressed syllable.
Automatically. Then if you can remember
long words like this you'll feel like
you're speaking English fluently and
automatically. It will be easy. So repeat
after me. Say it loud after me.
321 automatically ok I don't know if you said it
with me or after me
both are great say it with me now 321
automatically ok good so you learned
three things about English pronunciation
from this one word you don't need to
separate the vowel sounds. It's not
au, it's aa. You don't say a T sound
between two vowels. It's a D sound and you
need to know the stressed syllable
here is automatically. Now I teach all of
these things inside my Rapid English
Method course, so if you want to learn
with more time, with more practice, with
more examples, with many many many more
lessons with me then join my course you

so before you go please tell me in the
comments. Yesterday I asked to do so do
you celebrate Christmas? And a lot of you said yes.
Now for today's question
it doesn't matter if you celebrate
Christmas or not but tell me if you do
celebrate Christmas or if you did
hypothetically celebrate Christmas what
is the one present that you really
really really would like to get? Tell me
in the comments what is your dream
present. If you could have any present
