Hello, and welcome to step number two to transform your English. Instead number one, you learned how to create clear sounds in English in the consonants in the vowels, and in some letter combinations that will allow you to sound clear and perfectly understandable to any English speaker. Now, instead number two, we'll take it up to the next level, we'll make sure that you can speak with a sense of flow and smoothness in your voice. So that when people listen to you, they'll be interested in what you're saying. They'll be excited and concentrated instead of being kind of distracted and getting impatient because you're speaking too slowly or very disconnected. Have you ever heard a foreigner trying to speak your language?

Maybe you're speaking with him or her, and they start trying to tell you their ideas. So you already know what they want to say when they start their sentence, but you have to be respectful and wait for them to finish, right? Well, sometimes that happens when we speak English. If we're speaking slowly and this connected, people might get a little impatient. So that's a goal of this. Step number two, we will learn to connect our words when we're speaking English.

So that We have a sense of flow and smooth speaking. Sounds good. Perfect. So say goodbye to robotic, slow, boring English fluency. And after this step, and these three sessions of the step, you'll be able to perfectly speak connectedly Alright, so are you ready to start? Let's start with this simple sentence.

Can you please try to read it? Good. Now, we can say and it's perfectly fine if I say I met a guy, I met a guy. How can you connect better though? Listen to this. I met a guy.

I met a guy now tried to say it one more time. I met That guy. And you also understand what I'm saying. Now, let me challenge you a little bit. Can you identify which sound which letter, I'm transforming? I'm not pronouncing it as it normally sounds, I'm transforming it into one sound kind of like an are not really like an hour in English, but kind of sounds like an hour in Spanish, doesn't it?

I met I met a guy. Right? So this is one simple and very effective trick that you can start focusing on. And it will help you improve how you connect one word to the other. transform the T's into an R sound. Remember, it's not exactly an R, but that's what I'm going to call it right kind of an R sound.

I met a guy Fantastic. Okay, let's look at another example. That's really good. So if you're applying this trick that I just mentioned, you should be saying, should I put it away? Let's hear it again. Should I put it away?

Okay, now listen to how it sounds if we're not connecting, should I put it away? Should I put it away? It doesn't sound right, right. And if you speak Spanish, this kind of sounds. You don't want to say that to a Spanish speaking person. So, it is better if we just simply connect, put it, put it away, put it out, put it away.

You can do it. It's very simple. You just need to Remember to connect your T's take a look at the beginning of the sentence. And I said should I write so you can see the D is exactly the same case as a T, we can transform the D into the same sound, the same our sound that we do with a tee, right? should I? You see?

Awesome. Now you can say very simply, should I put it away? So with this, you can see that if you implement this consistently, most of your fluency problems will go away. Honestly, the piece and these will help you connect mostly every sentence that you say. So let's take a look at more examples. We say we said Should I Of course, we can also say could I?

And would I? Let's say I'm together Could I should I would I? Simply Simple as that. Good job. Okay, so now that you know how to connect your piece and your this, let's keep working on some sentences. And remember, pay attention to which sentences are a little bit more difficult for you to pronounce, so that you can write them down, memorize them and repeat them in your practices in your car or while you're cooking while you're working while you're preparing your clothes to go to work, before going to bed, etc.

Alright, so take a look at this other example. Can you find the places where you should connect and transform the tea, in turn are? What about? It's correct if you say what about, but what about saying What about? It makes it easier, right? Good.

So why about getting it on? The little letters? Good. What about getting it on the little letters? I try to listen to how it sounds if I don't connect it. Let's try it.

What about getting it on with little letters? What about getting it on in little letters? What about getting it on on little letters? better and much easier. Excellent. Okay, let's increase the level of challenge a little bit.

Take a look at this sentence. Say it good, is it becoming easier to connect and to transform these teeth. So by now, it should be possible for you to say I tried it out right there I tried it out. I tried it out and put it away for the better. I'd say that a little bit more quickly. I tried it out and put it away for the better.

I tried it out and put it away for the better. I tried it out and put it away for the better So don't be afraid. Remember to make mistakes. The more mistakes you make, the better you're learning how to not do those things. And your town will roll a lot more easily. The more you practice these things, there will be a point where you will completely forget about this information this trick because you will be doing it completely automatically every time you can do it with a T or with a D. Okay, and let me give you the final example.

Good. Now, I will not say it yet. I want you to try to say it again. Trying to say a little bit faster. Now, you don't need to say everything at the same time. You can say it faster and connected.

But the buying it in pieces right? This part this part Finally, this part Got it? Perfect let's say together Should I could I would I get a lot of lottery tickets? Awesome. Let's say that again. Now everything together Should I could I would I get a lot of lottery tickets.

Perfect. If you can't do it yet, don't worry. This is a good sentence for you to memorize and try. If you try it twice a day that we talked in previous steps, and maybe on your way to work, you'll find that soon enough, this will be completely natural and easy for you to make. So keep try. Alright, so now that you know what to do with your piece, and you're nice to connect your words, and have a sense of fluency in your voice, it's time for you to implement it.

It's time for you to start experimenting with this. So I want you to start paying attention. When you're watching TV, watching any movies or hearing any kind of English conversation. find evidence that this is happening. Try to find examples where people are connecting the words. So in a TV show, when they say, what about getting a lottery ticket, you start thinking, Oh, that's it, they're connecting, and try to repeat it.

So look for evidence in the real world that this is happening. And write down the examples that you want and that you like also, Remember, you should download the PDF file that you will find on the web page for this lesson. So you can see more examples and continue your practices this way. All right, so you have learned a very important and as you can see very simple tool that will radically increase the speed, the flow and the quality of your English. This will allow people to feel relaxed and excited when they're talking to you or when they're listening to you. So keep practicing until you're satisfied with the results.

Keep a list and keep writing the examples that you find in the real world and that you feel that you need to practice the most. Until then, I hope that you stay well.
