Go ahead and say that again, please. So I can hear it.
All our office files are in chronological order. One more time.
All our office files are in chronological order.
Okay, good. So what you need to do here, let's just make this a little bigger.
What you need to do here is you need to be thinking about,
so these sounds might be hard for you. Okay?
The L or the R --
do you find that either of these sounds are hard for you? The R or the L?
The L maybe. In general, right? Right, exactly.
So partly I'm not hearing the L the way that I want to.
Right? So let's start at the end. Okay.
Let's start at the end. So let's start with the word, say for me, order.
Order. Good. So you're going to take this syllable,
which is the stress syllable of the focus word. Would you agree?
Yes. Okay. Stress syllable of the focus word,
and you're going to stress this. That's where you're going to put the melody,
order, and you're going to glide. Try it again.
Order. Perfect. Now I want to.
Try a little trick. Let's just imagine that the word starts with an L.
Can you say Lorder. Lorder. Good, again. Lorder.
And one more time. Lorder. Good.
Now we're going to just put it back, at the end of the word,
and we're going to try, let's see what happens if we do a little bit of linking,
say for me one more time: lorder. Lorder.
Now we're just going to do it from the C.
We're going to say Clorder. Clorder.
Clorder. Clorder. We're just going to imagine -- it's not even a word --
we're just going to say Clorder. Clorder. That's right.
We're holding that L -- clor, clor, clorder. Clorder. Good.
Now, in the word chronological,
tell me where is the primary stress.
Chronological. LO. Good.
So we know we have to put a little hat on there to remember that that syllable
goes up. That stress goes up. So say for me,
chronological. Chronological.
And where is the secondary stress in that word?
Another syllable that's a little long. Right here --
chrono, chronological, chrono, chrono, chrono, chronological. Try it.
Chro, chronological. Chronological. Right.
Okay. So we say, wait a minute, there's a lot of syllables here.
Chronological order, right? A lot of syllables.
So we need to know where all of the stresses are.
We know that the primary stress is here. We know that LO,
chronoLOgical, and chro,
chronological order. Try it.
Chronological order. Nice. Try it again. Chronological. And again. Chronological
order. Chronological order.
Chronological order. Little higher maybe? Chronological order.
Chronological order. There you
go. Chronological order. How does that feel?
Yeah, it makes the strong word more obvious. Right?
Chronological order. Yeah.
And by moving the L over, as if the word was lorder, you get that link.
Okay? Okay, good. Now we're just going to add the word in. In,
in chro, say in chro.
In chro. Because.
We know chro is long. In chro.
Yeah. In chro.
So in doesn't have to be short,
or --
It is short. It is short. Okay? Are in, are in, are in, are in chro. Are in,
are in, are in chro. It's going to be short,
but right now we're just saying in chro.
So we're going to try to make this long. In chro.
In chro. In chronolo.
In chronolo. You see how we keep stopping at the long sounds?
Yeah. Inchronolo. Inchronological.
Good.
And then say all the way to order.
In chronological order.
Lorder has to be the highest pitch -- in chronological order.
In chronological order. Again.
In chronological order. There it was. That.
Was better. It was more smooth. Try it again.
In chronological order. Good.
Can we keep going? Are in, say are in, get that link from the are to the I.
Are in, are in, are in, are in.
Let's see if you can say, er. Er.
Can you say that sound? Er. Er.
Don't touch the tip of the tongue behind the teeth.
Don't touch, because if you touch, you're going to get the L.
L. L.
You want to drop. You want the air to be able to flow out.
R. R. So you point and
you let the air come out. R. R. And
say rin. Are in.
Rin. Are in. Now.
The other thing you have to be careful of is you don't want to get your lips too
round, or you'll start to get a W.
Win, win.
You want er, er. A little less -- relax here.
Rin. Rin.
Rin, rin, rin, rin,
R, rin.
And then look -- ah, are in.
Are, are in. Are, are in. Are in. Are in.
Ok good. It's not perfect, but it's not bad. Okay? Again,
one of the things I always need to stress is that the rhythm of the phrase is
more important than the perfection of the individual sound.
So if you can get some kind of movement to the chro,
are in chro, are in chronolo, are in chronological,
are in chronological order.
Okay. I see. Are in chronological order.
Are in chronological order. Good.
Let me pause you for a second. Try this. Say, are in.
Now just listen to what I'm going to do. First you're going to say are in.
Are in chro. Are in chronolo.
Are in chronological or.
So just stop at chro.
And then do it again, stop at lo.
And then do it again and stop it, but do the whole thing. So starting here,
are in.
Are in. Chro. Are in chro. Are in chro. Are in chronolo.
Do it again. Are in chronolo. Are in chronolo, are in chronolo. Are
in chronological. Are in chronological.
Are in chronological order. Yes.
Are in chronological order. Yes, yes, yes.
Okay.
So, it's this isolation.
Okay? And having patience, staying in one place,
getting that connection,
starting to feel the contrast between long and short sound. Okay?
That was good. I liked it. Awesome. Good. Let's go over here. Now,
you see that you're going to link that S to the A,
because the word are starts in a vowel.
Every time a word starts with a vowel, we connect it to the preceding sound.
Okay. Files are.
Okay. Files are. Files are.
Good. Files are in. Files are in.
Good. Now, files are in chro. Files are in chro.
Do it again. Files are in chro. Good. Do it again.
Files are in chro.
Files are in chronolo.
Files are in chronolo. Perfect. Now all the way to the end, files to order.
Files are in chronological.
Files are in chronological order. Yes.
Okay. Can you hear that from a musical perspective?
Cause I see you moving like you understand the music of this.
Yeah. So different rhythm.
Yes. Different rhythm. That's right. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da,
right? So you start to play with that. Good. Now, from office to files,
we don't have a link. But we're just going to say office
files. So there's going to be a little hat of melody, right?
Office files. Say that for me. Office files.
Office files. Office files.
Good. Now see what happens if you just try to go from office to order.
Let's see what happens.
Office files are in chronological order.
Pretty good. Pretty good. I like that you got the order really well.
Keep trying.
Office files are in chronological order.
Chronological order.
Office files are in. Files are in. Files are in. Office files are in
chronological order. Yeah.
Pause for a second. Pretty good. Okay? Now,
what you're going to notice is that this is starting to be perfect.
This connection is starting to be perfect.
All of this stuff is really good because you keep spending the most time there.
So then you go, well maybe let me just stay here for a few more minutes.
Office files are. Office files are.
Office files are in. Office files are in. So just stay here for a little while.
Try that. Office files are.
Office files are. Office files are. Office files are in. Office files are in.
Good. Now go to chro. Office files are in chro. Office files are in chro.
Yeah. Chro. Longer, make it longer. Chro.
Office files are in chro. Office files are in chrono.
Office files are in chronological.
Just.
Go to lo. Office files are in chronolo. Office files are in chronolo.
Office files are in chronolo. Office files are in chronolo. Now all the way.
Office
files are in chronological order. Office files are in chronological order. Okay,
go ahead. Office files are in
chronological order. Go ahead, one more time. Office files are in
chronological order. Yes.
Now, I want to add a point here, right?
We're trying to get this all in one long, flowing sentence. However,
there's no reason why, if you wanted to in communication,
in real speech,
if you wanted to break this into two thought chunks.
All our office are in chronological order.
Because that little rest that you give yourself gives your brain
that little rest.
So there's no reason that you can't do that. Okay?
So I know what we're doing here is we're practicing putting the whole sentence
together, but let's see what happens, say for me,
office files are in chronological order.
Office files are in chronological order. Do it again.
Office files are in chronological order.
Are in chro, are in chro, are in chronolo, are in chronolo.
You got to get more speed there.
Are in chronological. Okay.
Office files are in chronological order. Chronolo. Chronological.
Chronological order. Nice. Yes.
Good. Can we come over here to our office. Our o,
and you go up on office. Our office files.
Our office files. Our office files.
Good. And then let's just try this for a second. All our, all our.
All our. All our office. All our office files.
Get that L. The L.
Has to touch behind the T. L. L. Now
you press L.
L. L. All our. All our. All our office.
All our office. All our.
All our. All our. All our. All our. All our.
And then we're gonna move to this, all our o. And make office long. All our o.
All, all, all our o. All our. All our. All our o. All our
o. All our. All our. All our.
So you're gonna hold that are, all are o. So let's try this just for a second.
Let's see what happens.
If we did this.
Let's just see what happens to your brain. Okay?
Say for me.
Lau, all ah.
Say for me all our office. Say that.
All our office.
All our o. O. So the R in front of the O. All our office.
All our office. All our office.
All our, all our. I'm just moving the.
L to the beginning of the word instead of the end of all.
All our, all our, all our office.
All our office. Yeah, but hold the R. You got to hold the R here. All our o.
All our o.
All our ro, ro, ro.
All our office. Yes. All our office. Yes.
All our office.
All our office. All our office. All our office files.
All our office files. All our office files.
Yes. Now got that R where you need it.
Okay. All our office files. Yes. All our office files.
You see? You're holding the R.
All our office files. Good.
Now say, all our office files are in chronological order.
All our office files. All our office files are in chronological order.
Are in chronological order.
Yes. No, it's good. It does sound good. It sounds good. Yeah.
And what we have a lot of here is we have a lot of just
standard linking, where the word starts in a vowel like O,
okay? And then we connect it to the sound that comes before it.
We have a lot of standardized linking.
All our office files are in chronological order.
You want to try it without the flap sound?
Without the pause?
I will try it first. All our o.
All our office. All our office.
All around office files are in chronological order. Yeah.
Pretty good. I would say you got all the links. Now I want you to,
don't even think about it. So I just want you to, don't think about it,
and if you make any mistakes or whatever no problem.
Just throw it out there. All our office files are in chronological order.
All our office files are in chronological order. Hey.
Nice job. Yeah. Did that feel like you had some flow there?
Yeah. It's more fluent. I think the connection
is much better. So.
Let's try something. Let's try something. Just so that we --
and then we'll go onto the other ones. But talk to me about,
in your opinion,
how well does your company organize its files and folders online?
Just talk and see if you can get a little bit of flow when you speak. Organize
online? Yeah. Right? Cause we don't do paper files anymore, right?
So how well?
Some companies have better filing systems and folder systems,
is it easy to find things when you go into the company's system?
We don't actually have company system. We use old traditional,
old fashion. We use paper a lot. We've been
trying to become a company using more internet,
file organized system,
but it may be happening a few months later.
So it may happen in a few months. Can you say that?
It may happen in a few months. In, in a, in a few months.
In a, in a, in a few months. It may happen in a few months.
Yes. You see that? In a, in a, in a few, in a few months.
In a few months. Yes. Yes. All right. Good.
