Practice Tips~1• Try to hear the intonation and copy the voice pitch exactly.

2• Intonation in speech expresses the speakers thoughts or feelings. Thinking of those feelings while practicing speech rhythm will help make the expressions your own.

3• Remember to pronounce a strong R sound for practice if it is a difficult sound for you, as it is for many speakers.

Lesson Notes: 1• When the main verb follows a helper verb (to be) it will always be an "ING" verb ending.

2• The high intonation in the speakers voice with joking and kidding here refer to something that is a surprise.

Practice Tips~1• Use basic phrases to work on expressive intonation.

2• Use basic reduced pronunciations to develop faster speaking speed.

3• You might notice a rhythm of speech where certain pairs of words are spoken close together as shown with a dash- or dot.between words.

Lesson Notes: 1• Expressive casual interjections are often reduced pronunciations when spoken quickly.

2• Expressive interjections can also be spoken more clearly and sharply to emphasis a thought or feeling.

Practice Tips~

1• Use simple patterns like these with only one main verb to focus on speech rhythm.

2• Try to practice mimicking the speakers intonation exactly.

Lesson Notes:

1• Some times simple filler words like (No, Yeah, Hey, Say) etc. make a phrase sound more natural and less direct.

Quick Reference Slides~HEY!


• Expressive interjections can be a variety of expressions or feelings such as (surprise, curiosity, strong interest, frustration, disappointment, concern, disapproval, disagreement, anger etc.)

• Expressive interjections can also be seen as direct statements but not necessarily

strong, negative or demanding as seen in module 4.

Expressive

Interjections

• Module 3 Lesson Notes -1

• Everyday natural English can be difficult to learn

because English uses a lot of Intonation to add

expression and secondary meaning to speech. Noticing

and practicing the Intonations in module 3 and 4 will

help train your ear and voice control.


• There are a few ways in which expressive emphasis can be added to statements or

questions. Usually these variations are used fluidly together depending on the

speakers thoughts and feelings.

• Intonation or voice pitch is a change from a normal speaking voice such as a higher

tone, a lower tone, a rising tone or a falling tone.

• Module 3 Lesson Notes -2

• Word or syllable stress is the strength of

pronunciation. Syllable stress greatly affects speech rhythm because full pronunciations

generally require more effort in mouth motion to

produce a full pronunciation compared with a reduced pronunciation, which can be done faster

and easier.


Basic Guide for Using Lang~Loops.HEY!

• BASIC PRACTICE GUIDE •

• Listen closely to the speakers Pronunciation, Intonation, new Sounds & Speech Rhythm.

• Mimic the speaker. Match your voice with the speakers. ~try to copy it exactly as you hear it.

• Repeat each looped phrase immediately as you hear it.

• Read the “Phonetic~Sound~Spellings” to study important sound details of spoken English.

• Ask direct questions on any lesson at Sound Cloud to receive personal help and feed back.

1 •Use earphones to get the best sound details for faster learning.

2 •Listen with only one ear or cover one ear to hear your own voice.

3 •Hearing new pronunciation sounds clearly takes time and concentration. Focus on producing the Rhythm of speech and sound even if accurate pronunciation takes a little longer. Speech Rhythm Practice is a physical exercise.

• SIMPLE LISTENING TIPS

Mimic

Repeat

Listen



1 •If a loop seems too fast to repeat with the speaker, try to practice only half the phrase

until you can match the pronunciation. Then work on the 2nd half of the phrase in the

same way –then repeat the full phrase together. It will only take a few attempts to speak

it all together.

2 •If a lesson section seems too slow or easy, then

repeat it 2-3 times for rhythm practice before the

next phrase. The more you repeat the faster you'll

develop more natural English Speech Rhythm.

Repetition is the simple secret to fluency.

• TIPS ABOUT REPETITION SPEED

Mimic

Repeat

Listen


• The words Joking & Kidding have the same meaning and politeness. Using one over the other is strictly

the speakers choice. Kidding (might) beused slightly more between close or intimate friends, but not

necessarily.

• Intonation is a very important expressive tool in English and can add different layers of meaning to any

phrase. Intonation or Voice Pitch can not be learned as a set of rules like grammar but must be listened to

and associated with expressive situations.

• Copy the speakers voice pitch to build "Sound Memory". You will hear the same Intonations in real

conversation. (Sound Memory + Real Experience = Understanding)

Joking &Kidding

• One vocabulary difference is that "A Joke" as a noun & "to joke" as a verb both refer to the same topic. But, the word "to Kid" is only a verb referring to an action. ("A Kid" as a noun is a young child or adolescent.)

• The word Joke would typically be used when referring to an actual prank or verbal joke as a noun. Words of similar topics like (Kid - Trick - Fool - Play) are often used when referring to a verb action.

• Remember the basic rule that main verbs become "ing" verbs when following a helper verb (is-are-am)

• A Joke = Noun

• Joking = Verb

• (To) Joke = Verb

• A Joker = Noun

• A Kid = Noun

• (To) Kid = Verb

• Kidding = Verb

• A Kidder = Noun

• Kids = Verb

• (The) Kid = Noun

• Ex: That's a good joke.

• Ex: I'm joking.

• Ex: He likes to joke around.

• Ex: He's a real joker.

• Ex: That kid is a good joke teller.

• Ex: Please don't kid me.

• Ex: Are you kidding me?

• Ex: That guy is a kidder, he likes to joke around.

• Ex: He always kids me.

• Ex: That kid is a big joker, always fooling around.

A Special Note for You.HEY!

• "Phonetic-Sound-Spellings" might be new

for some. Any written explanation about

sound & pronunciation can be difficult to

understand without direct speaking &

listening experience with those sounds.

• Our best language learning comes from

lots of speech practice, careful listening &

conversation.

Intonation

• Speech Rhythm: is the sound between words when spoken naturally.

• Intonation & Voice Pitch: are both basically fluctuation of voice tone. (i.e.: higher, lower, rising, falling)

• Word & Syllable Stress: works closely with intonation to add emphasis to words & syllables.

• Let's Start by Looking at some Lang~Loops Language Definitions.

• Pronunciation: is the spoken sound of single isolated words or syllables.

• Speech Rhythm: is the sound between words when spoken naturally (i.e.: higher, lower, rising, falling)



• Syllable Shifting*: is a Lang-Loops term describing how ending word sounds shift into the next word causing a much different pronunciation than the written form when spoken naturally in common everyday speech.

• Reduced Pronunciation: is a common simplified pronunciation of a word or syllable, sometimes making is difficult to hear clearly.

2- Small Grey Words - (the - you - and - to - at - it - of ) • Reduced Sounds, are small, quick pronunciations usually as a result of common everyday words called Function and Linking Words.

3- Small Grey Ending Letters - (p - t - k - d - b - n - g - ck) • Sound Stops, are where a full letter sound at the end of a word is cut in half or “stopped”.

1- Phonetic Grey Words - • Pronunciation & Sound Changes are the main changes in speech with linking words - function words & informal contractions. See examples below

(wuh.nuh = want to / haf.tuh = have to / gah.duh = got to / yuh = you / tuh = to / duh = do / uhv = of / djyuh = did you / chyuh = are you / fer = for)
