Hi, everyone!
Welcome back to ForB English.
I'm Gabriella and you're watching "what is she saying?"
Now in this video, you're going to guess what I'm saying.
Are you ready?
Let's start.
Let's start.
Let's start.
Can you guess what I'm saying?
Let's try it this time with a hint.
Let's start.
Let's start.
Let's start.
Could you get it this time?
I'll say it a little bit slower now.
Let's start.
Let's start.
Let's start.
So the answer is "Let's start."
So this is an interesting expression.
We've got the word "let's" ending in "s" and we've got the verb "start" beginning with "s".
So naturally in English, the "s" sounds combine, so they merge, meaning we just pronounce the "s" sound once
in the middle where the words meet, so this means we first get "let'start", "let'start."
Right?
And then the "u" sound in "let's" becomes very relaxed in native speed,
so we've got "let's" and sometimes it completely disappears like a "le" sound.
And then the end of the word "start" is also sometimes swallowed like a glottal stop
which just means the sound is not released from the throat, so we say "lestar", "lestar."
Some people will say "let's starT" but it's a very traditional way of pronouncing it.
So in practice, we'll say "lestar."
Ready for some practice?
Please repeat after me, slowly.
Lestar.
A little bit faster.
Lestar.
And faster again.
Lestar.
Three times native speed now.
Lestar.
Lestar.
Lestar.
Excellent!
Great job.
Thank you very much for watching.
