In this American English pronunciation video, we're going to study American English by looking at a short text. Topic: where I live. . . . . . .

I call this a Ben Franklin exercise. This is when you take very good notes, very detailed notes, on what you're hearing. And then go back and try to record yourself based on what you've written down, the notes.

Did you write down a flap T, or the way two words link together? After you've recorded yourself, compare it to the original. Did you do everything that you wanted to do?

In this video, we're going to take notes together. I live in New York City, in Manhattan, currently in midtown. But I do move around a lot. I've been in New York for about five years, and I've already moved four times.

One of the first things I notice is how my voice goes up at the end of the word " city" , " city, city" . That's because of the comma here, and I'm not done, I'm going to keep going, I'm going to say more about that.

" I live in New York City." [x2] I also notice how connected that first line is. " I live in New York City." There are no breaks.

" I live in New York City." [x2] And I notice the ending consonant sound of " live" links into the beginning of the next word, " live in, v-in, v-in, v-in, live in."

" I live in New York City. [x3] In Manhattan." " In Manhattan." Again, my voice went up at the end.

" Manhattan." Again, there's a comma here, and I'm about to give more information about that. " New York City, Manhattan" , more specifically " midtown" . So, my voice is going up at the end of each of these little phrases to signal that there is more information yet to come about this.

" In Manhattan." [x2] I notice that the stressed syllable of " Manhattan" is the middle syllable. " Manhattan."
