Sohoj English Pronunciation Masterclass by Imran: Lecture 01

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]All right, everyone. Welcome. Welcome to our first ever session where I'm going to actually teach this language for free.

[00:00:06]And hopefully you got actually the video from different sort of platform, from my Facebook, from my TikTok, from my YouTube channel as well. So, it's lovely to actually see you guys here that you guys are so serious to learn this language and thank you very much for coming. And as this is free, you know, this is totally free, so that's why there would not be a lot of people.

[00:00:24]People would not take this class so seriously and I understand this one. But whoever would actually be here with me here in this platform especially the whole time, I can assure one thing that you guys are going to learn something that is really important for you to know. Okay? So, it's up to you. Uh because um there is no one No one is going to actually force you to stay here. No one is going to actually force you to leave. So, you can come, you can go, whatever you can do because these are free and you're having actually paid anything for these kind of classes.

[00:00:55]And we are Bengali people. We have got a tendency that if you actually get any kind of free from any kind of person, so that time we do not actually give that much value that we should actually give.

[00:01:07]You know, today what I'm going to actually teach is that or today we're going to be talking about pronunciation.

[00:01:12]I know you guys can speak a little bit.

[00:01:14]Maybe there are some other people who cannot speak properly. So, it's for everyone. It's average because I don't know you guys. I don't know your level. So, I Are you guys able to speak English or not even though I haven't no idea because I randomly actually upload some videos in my Facebook page. At the same time in my YouTube channel and you guys got that kind of link and you were here.

[00:01:37]So, it's going to be really tough for me to assess or judge about your English.

[00:01:42]But, you know, I would actually take everyone that you guys are beginner and today based on average we'll be actually trying to learn something new and hopefully you guys can hear me properly.

[00:01:55]Okay? So, uh without further delay, let's start our today's session. And today we're going to be talking about pronunciation. Just follow my instruction. Okay? Only follow my instruction. You don't need to do anything else. Okay? Just follow my instruction the way I'm going to actually say. Just repeat after me whatever I say. Just follow my instruction and listen to me carefully. Okay? Listen to my face whenever I'm going to actually produce different sort of sounds. This is also important to know how to actually uh make these sounds. You know, what would be tongue position? What would be lip position to make these kind of sounds? So, yep. All right. So, hi everyone. As you know that my name is MD Maruf Hasan and currently I'm from Melbourne, Australia. So, I've been living here for over uh more than, you know, 2 years. And I have got pretty much ideas about English because I used to be an IELTS trainer uh back in 2023 to 2024 in Bangladesh, one of the renowned coaching center, you can say.

[00:02:52]So, from that particular experience, I didn't actually stop learning this language. Still I'm learning and trying to actually teach this language to the people who really need this one. So, based on this one, you guys maybe have been following me for a long time from YouTube. You guys know me from various platform and I really appreciate that you are actually spending quality valuable time with me. And today I would be actually making something good for you so that you can actually feel that you haven't actually wasted your time. Okay? Let's start. I'm going to actually show my slide. I would be actually, you know, sharing a slide with you. And after the session, I would be sharing that particular slide, especially uh the presentation slide with all of you in our WhatsApp group.

[00:03:35]So, if you are not in our WhatsApp groups, you guys cannot actually join to our class anytime. Okay? So, it's mandatory to actually um stay, you know, WhatsApp groups all the time that we're going to actually conduct different sort of sessions. So, that would be really, really good for everyone. So, now I'm going to actually share my slides. And you don't have any idea that what we are going to do because I haven't told you.

[00:03:56]Maybe I actually gave you a little bit idea, but you don't have that much idea.

[00:04:01]So, it's okay. Okay, it's totally fine that if you haven't actually got that much idea. Stay here, try to actually adjust and also try to cooperate with me. Just 1 second.

[00:04:12]Try to cooperate with me and that would be really beneficial for you, for me at the same time because I don't want to get any kind of um you know, problem from your side. So, let me actually share my screen. There you go. So, here is the slide that we are going to actually talk about today.

[00:04:28]Okay. So, that is the thing. I think you guys can see it, right? So, I'll be actually sharing with you this slide and today we're going to be talking about pronunciation. Okay, pronunciation is really important because we all can speak English. Maybe, you know, we are in beginner level, maybe we are in advanced level sometimes, maybe we can actually consider ourselves that we are in intermediate level. But, the thing is that we cannot actually produce the perfect perfect sounds, especially you know, we cannot pronounce the words correctly, which is really mandatory and which can make the variation between you and a native person. Okay, so that's why we are going to work on the pronunciation from now on. And there would be a lot of strategy to actually practice this kind of pronunciation. Hopefully, you guys would like it. There would be a lot of challenge, there would be a lot of fun in today's session. So, yeah, let's let's start. So, as you know that in English there are 26 alphabets. There are 26 alphabets, but based on these 26 alphabets, there are 44 sounds. These sounds called IPA symbol. Okay, IPA symbol or in another way, these sounds are called phonetic sound. These sounds are so important to speak English like native people, to speak English clearly.

[00:05:45]So, there are 24 consonant sound and 20 vowel sounds. So, today we're going to be actually just, you know, working on six consonant sounds and based on these six consonant sound we will try to realize the improvement. If you think that your English is not good, stay here for a long time then you will feel like, "Okay, this is the way I should actually practice today or from now on, okay?" So, you can see like a person's mouth. At the same time you can see English pronunciation workshop mastering consonant sounds. So, these are the sounds. You know, these are the sounds and how to actually recognize which is sound which is not.

[00:06:21]Remember this one that if you get any kind of word in between two slash, any kind of, not word actually, any kind of symbol. So, for example, we usually call this one as alphabet. So, as alphabet this is P. This is P, right? As alphabet this is B. As alphabet this is V. But, if you actually give here, put two slashes and put them in between two slashes, then these will become phonetic sounds.

[00:06:49]These will become IPA symbol. These will become English sounds. Now, you cannot say this is P. You cannot say this is B.

[00:06:58]You can't say this is V. Now, these are sounds and you will have to make the sound.

[00:07:04]How to actually pronounce them? Like p b v p b v p b v. You see? That's the thing.

[00:07:14]And why we need these kind of sounds?

[00:07:17]Why this is so important? That's because whenever you will get a lot of words.

[00:07:21]So, for example, if I just go back, you know, look, this is a story that we are going to practice today. Okay, we'll be fixing all the all the all the things from this story. So, as this is a story, you see, there are so many words. These uh words are starting with different sort of alphabet. This is O, this is U, this is A, this is T, this is T, this is was and this is B. So as these words are starting with alphabet based on that particular alphabet, there would be a particular sound that we are going to practice.

[00:07:54]As I told you, there are 44 sounds but we'll be actually just having a look only six sounds today and then we will be trying to fix all of our pronunciation based on today's session. So whenever you will get a word that is starting with that particular alphabet and as that alphabet already got a sound, you will have to make the sound before saying or pronouncing the word. So for example, here, if you just have a look, okay? This is D A Y, right?

[00:08:23]What is the first alphabet? This is D.

[00:08:26]So based on this one, there is a consonant sound and that is d d. Okay, so you are not saying like D A, I mean pronouncing the whole alphabet first like D D day. It's not like that, okay?

[00:08:40]It's a sound. Day.

[00:08:43]Day. This is called d d sound and here A and Y, it will get another sound, okay?

[00:08:53]This is vowel sound. There are two sounds and with these two sounds, this word actually consists of.

[00:09:00]So like d A, d A, day.

[00:09:05]Day. You see? So that's why English pronounce for English perfect pronunciation, we need to work on a lot of sounds especially for especially those, you know, 44 sounds, okay? So now let's start. Now I would like to actually go one by one because I don't want you guys to just listen to me. I want you to engage with me. I want your participation so that we can actually make our today's lecture better and you guys feel comfortable. So now before talking about these sounds, I would like to actually, you know, uh go one by one to read this story first. Let's see how we are reading the story or how we are telling the story now and we will compare after knowing all the sounds then how we are going to tell the story next time, okay? I mean today, obviously today. So, first we want to see how everyone read this story, how everyone tell this story and after telling every single sort of things about this story or all the words making our perfection in this story especially on the words and pronunciation, then we will see there would be a dramatic change, you know?

[00:10:12]There would be a dramatic improvement.

[00:10:15]So, yeah, that's what we're going to actually see. So, now as there are so many participant, I want one by one to tell the story, okay? And then we'll be able to just go or move forward, okay? Now, I would like to actually call Abu Said bhai. Abu Said bhai, can you hear me?

[00:10:33]Now, you guys can unmute.

[00:10:36]Abu Said bhai, can you hear me?

[00:10:39]Okay. So, who would like to actually read the story first?

[00:10:42]Raise your hand.

[00:10:44]Who would like to tell the story, please? Cooperate with me, guys. We are not here to actually waste our time. We are here to learn something.

[00:10:51]So, yeah, now we got it. So, yeah, all right. Just 1 second, maybe I actually put some sort of restriction here for the participant. Let me actually take it back, okay?

[00:11:03]Abu Said bhai, okay. Now, Abu Said bhai, can you please unmute yourself?

[00:11:08]Let me, okay. Yeah.

[00:12:04]Arham bhaiya, so guys try to actually realize, okay? Try to try to listen to them very very carefully that how they are reading the story right now. And then after improving their pronunciation, how they will tell the story next, okay? Now, Arham bhaiya, you can unmute yourself and just read the story.

[00:17:41]Every day Ben walked to school through a big park.

[00:17:55]He picked it up the bag carefully. The bag was heavy.

[00:18:00]>> [clears throat] >> Great. Thank you very much. Anyone else?

[00:18:02]Anyone left?

[00:18:04]I guess no one has left. Okay.

[00:18:06]So, you see So, we have already tell the story and according to our preference, you know, we try to actually tell the best story. I understand this one.

[00:18:15]So, now let's learn the sounds first, okay? The six sounds that we are going to actually talk about. After that, we will return to this story and then we will actually practice some tongue twisters so that we can actually tell this kind of words easily and we can produce the sounds easily from our mouth, okay?

[00:18:32]So, let's start with me, okay? Let me actually show you how to tell this story in a great way.

[00:18:38]I'm not going to actually just go back and just talk about these sounds right now. We will read the story and throughout reading the story or telling the story, we'll be actually fixing all of our pronunciation problem today.

[00:18:49]Okay, let's see here. This is moral story. So, whenever you get any kind of word that is starting with S, remember, that is starting with S, try to make a sound like sound, okay? It's like So, for example, instead of saying story, you can say story. Story, okay?

[00:19:12]Initially, you can practice like this story, story, story, story. So, if you actually notice native people, why you don't actually understand them? Because most of the time they force here, they, you know, make this kind of sound like You see? Look, whenever they are talking, they are trying to actually produce the sounds and you feel like, "Okay, they are so fast. They are so fast." Okay, they actually put the perfect perfect sound in the perfect words. So, any word that is starting with s in it actually make a sound like in the beginning, okay? So, for example, Okay, let's cooperate with me, guys. Um so, for example, if I ask Abu Sufyan by Abu Sufyan by, how do you actually pronounce this one?

[00:19:58]Which one? The moral story?

[00:20:02]Okay, seven. Okay, no, you need to make the sound like seven.

[00:20:09]Seven. Exactly. You know, initially, just try to actually make the sound like seven, seven, seven.

[00:20:17]Seven. So, for example, 67, how do you actually say that?

[00:20:23]67. Exactly.

[00:20:25]>> Seven. 60 >> 67. You see? Like 67, 67, 67. But normally, we say 67. So, we do not actually pronounce the perfect way, okay? That's the important thing.

[00:20:37]This is another consonant sound we'd be actually talking about this one later, okay?

[00:20:40]So, our focus is on six consonant sound, not these are. But I'm just telling you guys, this is also important to know.

[00:20:47]So then, the brave, this is also our today's topic, the pronunciation, okay?

[00:20:53]So, this is alphabet, this is b, but the sound is b.

[00:20:59]B.

[00:21:00]Remember, this is voice sound, okay? If you actually touch your throat, you'll feel like there is a vibration, a small vibration to make this sound like b b b You see like b b So, your two lips will touch together, okay?

[00:21:17]Your two lips will touch together.

[00:21:19]You're not going to actually produce any kind of You're not going to produce any kind of air from your mouth, but you need to make this sound like b b So, the brave the brave Okay, here is the interesting thing. You see, there is another b Right, so we make the mistake here. We make a lot of mistakes like to to pronounce these sounds, to produce the sounds. So Now, Abu Sufyan bhai, how do you actually pronounce or produce sounds for both of them? One is b, another one is v I should pronounce it like that? Brave, brave. No, no, no. No, no, just the sound, sound. Like b and v b v Okay, sounds like that? Another one?

[00:22:09]b v >> that's the thing, bhai. So, most of us, we would say brave, right? You say brave.

[00:22:16]So, it means we are making the same sound like b But, there is different alphabet. How we can actually make the same sound? We can't. We can't actually make the same sound. So, that's why we need to actually understand the phonetics.

[00:22:29]That's why we need to understand the sounds. So, it would be v sound.

[00:22:34]Just You know, focus on my lip. So, the b sound is touching our two lips together. We are touching our two lips together and trying to actually make the sound. b b This is voiced. But, for the v sound, our lower lip will touch our upper teeth like v v v So, that's why instead of saying brave, you see, brave, it will become brave.

[00:23:05]Brave.

[00:23:07]You see? Here, we are trying to create the two different sounds for two different, you know, alphabets. Brave.

[00:23:14]The first one is we'll touch our No, two lips together. The second for second one, there would not be any kind of connection between our two lips.

[00:23:22]Brave.

[00:23:23]Brave. So, for example, that's how you know, we make a lot of mistakes on this one. Like we say village. Village. You see? We are touching our lip to pronounce this word, village, but this is not starting with the alphabet after A, B. Right? It's starting with V, V. So, that's why our sounds looks like Bengali. Our sounds looks like or our accents looks like Indian or typical Bengali accents. So, it will be V. That's why we need to say village. Village. And very. This is very important. Not This is very important.

[00:24:01]Whenever we are saying berry, our two lips will touch together. This is not the correct way to actually pronounce this one. Whenever we are saying the correct one, it will actually our lower lip will go after the upper teeth. And we'll try to make a noise and vibration in our throat. Like V. V.

[00:24:19]Okay? Very. Very important. Very important. Village.

[00:24:25]Various.

[00:24:27]Vivek. Vivek. Various. You see? You understand? That's why we need to actually learn the phonetic sounds.

[00:24:34]Okay, good.

[00:24:35]The next one is starting with the same sound, bo. That's why we'll say boy.

[00:24:40]Okay? Our our lips are touching together. Like boy.

[00:24:44]Boy. So, we usually say oy. Oy in the guy. Kind of like that, right? So, the same way we'll say boy. Boy.

[00:24:53]Okay? So, this is also uh we are going to target this sound as well.

[00:24:57]And so, from now on from now on do not say and fully.

[00:25:02]Do not pronounce this word fully, okay?

[00:25:05]And and and no.

[00:25:07]Just remove A.

[00:25:10]Remove D. You don't need to say A and D.

[00:25:14]Only say N.

[00:25:15]Only say N. Okay? In a sentence, if you only say N, you will feel like, okay, your pronunciation is improving at the same time you will feel like your fluency is improving.

[00:25:25]Because it would be so fast to speak.

[00:25:27]So, for example, the brave boy, the way you usually say, the brave boy and the golden bag, word by word. But if we actually follow the native people, it could be like the brave boy and the golden egg. Golden bag, sorry. The brave boy and the golden bag. You see? Here, I'm just saying N. N. And if you get any N in this small story, we can also make this one. So, for example, is there any N? You see? Here, just say only N.

[00:25:56]Not the end. Like honest and kind.

[00:25:59]Honest and kind. Not honest and kind, okay? Any other words?

[00:26:04]Any end? Any other end?

[00:26:06]Okay, no other, okay? So, whenever you would actually going to pronounce the end, do not say the full one. Just say the middle one. Only the alphabet N. N.

[00:26:16]You know, me and my friend. Not me and my friend. Okay, so we went there.

[00:26:21]I myself Kamrul and my friend. You see? And my friend. Not and my friend Sakib. Okay, this this this and this. No. This this this and this. You see? And this. So, this is how we can actually become so fluent, okay? We will be giving another Zoom link after 10 minutes. Kind of like that, okay?

[00:26:43]So, [snorts] here the sound is guh sound because this is alphabet G.

[00:26:48]So, the guh sound. And we know that if we get any kind of alphabet in between two slash, it will become sound g.

[00:26:55]That's why it's golden. G. It's a voiced one. Golden bag. Bag. Our two lips will touch together. So, if we actually have a look in our first title or our story title, the perfect pronunciation would be the brave boy and the golden bag. The brave boy and golden bag. The brave boy and the golden bag. You see, and the and the golden bag. Golden bag. The brave boy and the golden bag. Okay? So, hopefully you guys got it.

[00:27:27]Let's move forward. And we I would be also talking about how to tell a story, great story in the in the next, you know, Zoom link. Okay? Let's move forward. If you see here, it's starting with once. Okay? It's like once.

[00:27:42]Then, we're not going to actually focus on this O sound today. This is kind of vowel sound.

[00:27:48]Once upon a time. One thing you need to remember, if you get a If you get a in any sentence, okay? If you get a in any sentence, try to link together.

[00:28:03]Not word by word, like once upon a time.

[00:28:06]No. Once upon a time.

[00:28:09]And try to say this one uh Instead of saying a, try to say this one as uh.

[00:28:15]Okay? This is also vowel sound. Once upon a time. And if you follow the connected speech, I know a lot of things would actually go to your, you know, above your head. I understand this one, but you know, you need to actually understand this one to make your perfect pronunciation perfect. So, there is a connected speech rule.

[00:28:35]So, connected speech rules consist of the sound. So, in that particular connected speech rule, there is one rule, and that is if you get any word that is ending with a consonant sound, and the right after word is starting with a vowel sound, then you need to link together.

[00:28:53]So, here upon it's ending with the consonant sound n.

[00:28:58]And right after that, this one is starting with a vowel sound, right?

[00:29:02]That's why we are linking upon a upon a upon a upon a, okay? Upon a. And this is the sound t sound and the alphabet is t, okay? Try to force here. Try to force here, give a stress in that particular sound. So, this is sound like t.

[00:29:23]I mean t sound, okay? Whenever you would actually see any kind of word that is starting with t okay? Without the or the, okay? Without the or the, if you get any kind of word that is starting with t, try to give a stress there.

[00:29:38]Try to give all the time a stress because this is in another way to call aspirated sound. There are three aspirated sounds in English. If you fix these sounds, only three sounds, you 33% or 30% sounds will be perfect. I mean, you your your I mean 30% English will be perfect, okay? So, you need to actually focus on this one.

[00:29:57]So, we have learned that if we get any kind of word that is ending with a consonant sound, and right after that if any word is starting with a vowel sound, then we link together together.

[00:30:08]So, for now this one, once upon a time, we'll link together, it will become once upon a time. Once upon a time, and if you try to actually give proper expressions. All right, everyone. Today, I would like to talk about a story.

[00:30:23]And that is story start in 2021.

[00:30:27]Once upon a time, there was a brave boy named Ben.

[00:30:31]You should try to give your own expression. Try to feel, make your audience feel like you are telling a story. Try to make them imagine what you are trying to say, which is really important. So, that's the thing. So, here once upon a time, okay? Not once upon a time. Not a time. Once upon a time, this is T and sound would be ta ta ta sound like time, table, teacher, okay? Then tan. [clears throat] Not time, table, teacher, tan. You need to actually remember this one. And another another sound that we usually make mistakes like this one was Okay? We say was was bro or brother. There is no sound in this word, okay? This is sound, remember. It seems like this is S sound.

[00:31:19]I mean S sound, but no. This is the It will take Z sound like this one.

[00:31:25]Like zoo, okay? Zoo, zebra. So, that's why we you do not actually speak like native people. So, there was was, not there was, okay? There was. And the shortly before I told you guys, what I told you? That if any word is ending with a consonant sound, you see? This is ending with a consonant sound. Was is ending with a consonant sound and there is another vowel sound. A. That's why it will link here as well. Was uh was uh was uh was uh, okay? There was a there was a, not there was a or not there was a, okay? Remember this one.

[00:32:06]These are really important. And then the same way we would actually pronounce the B sound, okay? Brave boy named named Ben, okay?

[00:32:16]And if we actually fix this first sentence, how would it actually seems like? It would like Once upon a time, there was a brave boy named Ben. You see? Brave boy named Ben. So, here No, it's going to be really difficult to say like this because we need to practice this sentence more and more cuz we are pronouncing the same sound from the same position and there are so many b sound sound. That's why it would be really difficult. It seems like a tongue twister for us, you know. So, it's going to be a little bit difficult for all of us to actually pronounce this one. So, we have fixed our first sentence and the same way we'll be actually fixing our next sentences as well. We have got 3 minutes, okay? Now, within 3 minutes I would like to go one by one if you guys understand or not and then I will actually give you another link where we'll be actually finishing this um rest of the s- the lines after the I'll be actually talking about the sounds that will actually, you know, uh create a great great impression on you and we will be seeing that how you guys are going to speak the or tell the story next time as you have already done. Okay, now I would like to go to uh Raisul Bhuiyan. Raisul Bhuiyan, can you please read from the moral of story to this?

[00:38:38]Please by unmute yourself now, okay?

[00:38:40]Let's move forward. Um so, we'll be actually because there are so many things and we haven't got that much subscription for the Zoom meeting, so you can't we can't actually complete the whole one, okay? So, next one. Ben lived in So, can anyone tell me the connected speech rule here that I told you guys? You see, here is one connected speech rule, here is another one connected speech rule, here is another one connected speech rule.

[00:39:06]So, what would be the perfect pronunciation for lived in here with the A as well, the whole one?

[00:39:14]Who is going to actually tell me?

[00:39:16]What would be the What would be the connection in between three words?

[00:39:21]Shariar by, do you have any idea?

[00:39:25]Actually, I don't have any idea, but I guess Ben lived in a small village.

[00:39:30]>> Yeah.

[00:39:32]How is actually ending? It's ending with a consonant sound, isn't it?

[00:39:38]And the right after that, it is starting with a vowel sound.

[00:39:41]E is a vowel sound. I know that you guys you haven't actually heard about those sounds before. You don't know the 44 sounds, I understand, but let me actually just give you the an idea. So, lived here d is a consonant sound.

[00:39:55]I are starting with like e e in in here is e is a vowel sound. So, there is a linking as I as I already know, you know, as we already know from the connected speech rule. And here in is a consonant sound. You see? And the right after that a is a vowel sound. That's why we will link everything together. Like, not we are going to say lived in a, it's like lived in a. You see dinner, dinner. Let me actually write here, okay? So, for example, if I actually write here, it will like this.

[00:40:34]Just one second. It's like um, ban.

[00:40:43]So, connected speech rule after a connected speech rule in the The one day going to the sound the session to be the consonant at the sound feel like the forward to the show by vowel sound here second up to the link good to have a Got to have a native speaker to be the native connected speaker to be the native connected speaker only be the first good to be the native because they're a link good to have a good to be They link good to be the native connected speaker connected speech rule to be the Okay, the rule number one to be the native connected connected rule to be the connected vowel rule to be the Okay, so you don't know connected vowel rule to be the native connected to The one day going to be the native connected connected sound to be the one day going to be the native connected vowel sound to be the one day going to be the native connected good to be the native connected good to be the native connected to connected to be the native connected connected to be the native connected to be the native connected sound to be the native connected sound to be connected to be the native connected to be the native connected to connected sound to be the native connected connected to be the connected to be connected to be the native connected to be the native connected connected to be the native connected connected to be connected to be the native connected to be the native connected to be the native connected to be the native connected to connected to be the native connected to be connected to connected to be connected to be the native connected to be the native connected connected to be the connected to be the connected to be the native >> vowel sound vowel sound I could do D D Right?

[00:42:41]Ben live of saying Ben live in a Okay? Not Ben live in a It's like Ben live dinner. Ben live dinner. Okay.

[00:43:01]That's because I can do the So for example Someone keep it up Okay?

[00:43:23]Keep it up the good work. So keep it up the good work.

[00:43:33]Anyone else?

[00:43:39]Which Which of the two? Yeah, first one like as you can see keep it up the good work. So where to link?

[00:43:46]>> Keep it up the good work. Keep it up the good work. Yeah, where to link?

[00:43:51]It up. Yeah, why is that?

[00:43:56]Because keep is ending with a consonant sound.

[00:44:00]And eat is starting with a vowel sound.

[00:44:03]And also eat is start ending with another consonant sound like t, right?

[00:44:07]And right after that, up is also starting with a vowel sound. That's why we are linking here. We do not say keep it up the good work. We say keep it up the good work, right? Keep it up the good work or keep it up, bro. Keep going on. Keep going on. Why we actually say so fast?

[00:44:26]Exactly. Exactly.

[00:44:29]It is the rules.

[00:44:31]So, it happen when you are practicing when you are actually would see all the sounds.

[00:44:41]basic then I take the average class.

[00:44:49]They actually follow the connected speech rule. And when you are practicing, you will automatically say the words would come automatically from your mouth and you'd be so flexible to use this kind of words, okay?

[00:45:07]And t And for the paw, like keep it up.

[00:45:13]Keep it up.

[00:45:17]Keep it up. Keep it up, okay? We usually say keep it up. The sound say we usually say the keep it up, okay? Great. Anyone else anyone? Didn't get it. I understand.

[00:45:32]I understand this one, but consonant vowel sound it a rule cos correct. So, is there any problem? Did you guys get it or not?

[00:45:44]Sharia bya Rabbi bya Uh No, booster byachi question night. But it's a it a key money basic rules of it it a key rules.

[00:45:53]It a key rules.

[00:45:54]main rule is listening and I have a good score for the problem.

[00:46:01]Should I get a rule? The consonant is a schedule. Oh.

[00:55:59]Moral story.

[00:56:01]The brave boy and the golden bag.

[00:56:03]Once upon a time, there was a brave boy named Imran.

[00:56:07]Or named Ben.

[00:56:09]Ben lived in a small village with his parents.

[00:56:12]He was poor, but was polite, honest, and kind.

[00:56:17]Every day, Ben walked to the school through a big park.

[00:56:21]One bright morning, walking along Sorry.

[00:56:24]While walking beside the park gate, Ben saw a black bag under a bench. He picked up the bag carefully.

[00:56:31]The bag was heavy.

[00:56:49]Buh sound, remember? Both of your lips are touching together.

[00:56:52]Okay? Buh sound, guh sound.

[00:56:55]And then tuh sound, tuh Okay. Time table, teacher, then technique, technology, kind of like that.

[00:57:04]And then, we have already focused on other sounds as well, like puh sound.

[00:57:13]Duh sound, guh sound.

[00:57:15]Okay? Duh sound, guh sound. Guh sound.

[00:57:18]And suh sound, guh sound.

[00:57:20]Puh buh tuh duh kuh guh. Okay, good.

[00:57:26]Buh. Tuh. Duh. Kuh. Guh. Only based on these sounds, I'm going to tell you something like this story with proper pronunciation and I'm going to tell you something like that.

[00:57:54]Brother, your sound is very low.

[00:57:57]Okay, if you speak loudly How about now? How about now?

[00:58:02]Is it good enough?

[00:58:05]Hello.

[00:58:07]Yeah, it's clear. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[00:58:08]Okay. Great. So So, if you actually have a look here, there are so many examples. Okay, you can actually uh just go through these examples like a pen, paper, park, people, pig. Don't say actually pen, paper, park, people, pig because this is aspirated sound. And it actually give you stress here. Okay, pizza, power, pink, please, piano. Then b sound book, baby, banana, ball. Then b sound blue, brother, bank, bread, boat. Then minimal pair p and b sound. Okay? pat, bat, pig, big, pack, bag, park, bark, cap, cab. Okay? And then t and d sound they taken only good example there was a minimal pair there was a You guys can actually go through this and there are some tongue twisters.

[00:59:03]Okay? You guys can also practice tongue twisters as we already practiced the p sound and the tongue twisters be Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

[00:59:12]It's kind of like that. You know, you can actually go through this tongue twister. I'll be actually sharing this lecture slide with all of you.

[00:59:17]Now, right now we are going to tell this story again as we have already told you guys that let's first say the story and later on after fixing all of our pronunciation problem in this story, Cuz I haven't actually read these these sort of things before. I got them from the slides from my editor and I'm actually practicing with you. It's not all about like practicing to to make you guys practice. It's something like practicing for me as well, okay? Thanks very much for coming.

[00:59:45]And let me actually go through the story first. After that, we'll be actually going one by one, okay? I know this time would be a little bit complicated because you got to know a lot of things, okay? I'm not But the more you will practice, the more you will sound would be perfect, okay?

[01:00:06]>> [clears throat] >> All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my presentation. Today, I would like to tell you a story before going or diving into the presentation.

[01:00:17]This is a moral story, The Brave Boy and the Golden Bag.

[01:00:22]Once upon a time, there was a brave boy named Ben.

[01:00:26]Ben lived in a small village with his parents. He was poor, but he was polite, honest, and kind.

[01:00:33]Every day, Ben walked to the school through a big park.

[01:00:36]One morning, one bright morning, while walking beside the park gate, Ben saw a black bag under a bench. He picked up the bag carefully.

[01:02:13]Now, I would like to share a story.

[01:02:15]Before diving into that story, I think it's more important to to know about the moral of the story.

[01:02:21]Well, the moral of the story is The Brave Boy and the Golden Bag. Once upon a time, there was a brave boy named Ben.

[01:02:28]Ben lived in a small village with his parents. He was poor, but he was polite, honest, and kind.

[01:02:35]Every day, Ben walked to school through a big park. One bright morning, while walking beside the park gate, Ben saw a black bag under a bench.

[01:02:44]He picked up the bag carefully. The bag was heavy.

[01:02:48]Great, man. Great, perfect. Well, it's good. Good enough, man. You see? So, that was an amazing improvement, and you're already like your English is already good, man. So, didn't actually just realize that you learned a lot of things from me because you have already improved a lot. Great. Thanks very much for your participation. So, next, who would like to actually tell a story?

[01:03:12]Next.

[01:03:15]Just raise your hand, guys. Raise your hand.

[01:03:19]If you did not actually go for a try, then it would be really tough for you to understand this one, okay?

[01:03:26]Okay, I'm going to call one by one, okay? And then then let's go to Shariar Bhaiya. Shariar Bhaiya, can you please read the story for us?

[01:03:34]Well, I'll try later. Azan is being called here.

[01:03:36]>> Okay, okay, okay, okay. I think Oh, yeah. Anyone else who can actually read the story right now?

[01:03:42]Okay, um then Sultan Adem.

[01:03:47]Sultan brother?

[01:03:49]Okay, no problem. Uh Shazad?

[01:03:53]Sanjida Akter? Yes, brother. Yes, Shazad Bhaiya. Yes, go on, Bhaiya.

[01:03:58]Yeah, here is a moral story, The Brave Boy and the Golden Bear.

[01:04:03]Once upon a time, there was a brave boy named Ben.

[01:04:08]Ben lived in a small village with his parents.

[01:04:13]He was poor, but he was bright, honest, and kind.

[01:04:18]Every day, Ben walked to his school through a big park.

[01:04:25]One bright morning, while walking besides the deep park gate, Ben saw a black bag under a bench.

[01:04:35]He picked up the bag carefully. The bag was heavy. Great. Thank you very much, mate. Appreciate, man. You see, guys, so there is one difference. Bhaiya was actually going word by word, okay? He was pronouncing all the words, not linking.

[01:04:51]So, that's why it seems like he is reading a story, not telling a story, okay? And also, he has lack of knowledge of aspirated sound. Cuz like the way he actually pronounced the word polite, he said like polite or something like that.

[01:05:05]I didn't actually get it because he need to actually, you know, give here some stress to pronounce this word. Like it is starting with aspirated sound. So, how can actually avoid this one? Polite, polite. And you would also like, you know, realize that there was lack of expression, you know, intonation gap while he was telling the story.

[01:05:26]Something like he is just reading the story. It's not like he is telling us a story. Otherwise, he would actually would have been seen some sort of expression from his excitement, you know. Okay. Well, it is good. Okay, well, but next time try to actually give proper expression, proper word, and try to pronounce the words correctly. And there was no linking because you said like once upon a time there was a brave boy. Word by word. No, I told you like there should be a link link in between the word is ending with a consonant and the word is ending with a vowel. Like once upon a time there was a brave boy named Ben. Okay, then you can actually create a great story. Okay, we have we are running out of time. Okay, next, who would like to actually go first? I mean, next.

[01:06:12]Uh Sharia is going to Okay, not now, okay. And then we have got Azad Hussein.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Shahriar Rahman Shakil. The moral story, the brave boy and the golden bag. Once upon a time, there was a brave boy named Ben. Ben lived in a small village with his parents.

[01:09:36]He was a poor, but he was polite, honest, and kind.

[01:09:40]Every day, Ben walked school through a big park. One bright morning, while walking beside the park gate, Ben saw a black bag under a bench. He picked up the bag carefully. [clears throat] The bag was heavy.

[01:09:55]Masha'Allah. Masha'Allah. That was good, man. That was good. It was like, you know, we are listening to a story from a storyteller, yeah. So, how do you actually pronounce this?

[01:10:11]Okay, thank Okay, okay. No worries, bhai. It's okay, bhai, but it was beautiful. It was really beautiful, incredible to listen from your mouth about this story. Okay, who's going to next?

[01:10:21]Mohammad Raisul bhai.

[01:10:26]Um Mohammad Raisul bhai.

[01:10:29]Ladies and gentlemen, I think uh your all concentration uh at the to me. So, I'm going to share about you a moral story. The brave boy and the golden bag.

[01:10:43]Once upon a time, there was a brave boy named Ben.

[01:10:47]Ben lived in a small village with his parents. He was poor, but he was polite, honest, and kind.

[01:10:55]Every day, Ben walked to school through a big park.

[01:10:59]One bright morning, while walking, we searched the park gate, then saw a bag, black bag under a bench.

[01:11:07]He picked up the bag carefully. The bag was heavy.

[01:11:12]Great. Good, good, good, good, good job, man. Good job. Great. Thank you very much, Baya. Thanks for telling this story. It was nice. All right. So, guys, you see, English is easy, you know. To make our pronunciation perfect, we need to just work specific thing. So, if you actually work on the sounds, especially the alphabets, if you work on the word stress, syllables, at the same time, if you work on connected speech, your your accent will change automatically. It's not like we are changing our accent.

[01:11:38]It's something like we are trying to understand the exact thing to improve our pronunciation. So, yeah, that's it.

[01:11:44]And we are running out of time, so I would like to actually finish our class here. Hopefully, you guys really enjoyed it. It's not all about like, you know, free. It's something like You don't take it free, you know, because this is what you would not actually get from a renowned coaching center, even, you know? No, like you would not get the good trainer, as well. They won't actually give that much value to learn like this, okay? So, the more you would actually learn like this, just go to YouTube, uh search whatever I told today, okay? Find some videos and practice on them. You'll feel like, okay, the real English is improving in you. And you'll feel like, okay, that Now, I'm actually Just follow Yeah, brother. You see, look, you guys three 10 people are here, almost. So, tomorrow, some other people would come, they would start saying, "What is that?

[01:12:36]What is that?" But, I'm just focusing on those people who would be regular, you know? All the time, I would be calling them, not other people. I understand that people like It's my Look, it's it's almost 1:00, almost the midnight here in my place, so I could actually sleep. I shouldn't actually, you know, think about you guys, but it's This is what I really love to actually, you know, do and this is what I really enjoy to share with other people. So, I would be actually sharing this slide, I would be sharing this slide in the in the in our group.

[01:13:03]So, yeah, any questions from anyone? If you guys have any kind of questions, just go on and say Yep. Any questions?

[01:13:12]Uh brothers, I have a question. Yep, go on.

[01:13:16]Okay, so uh maybe I saw you I saw you uh 2024 in Dhaka University Language Club.

[01:13:24]So, is it right to ask?

[01:13:25]>> one of the instructor in Dhaka University Language Club.

[01:13:29]Uh okay, [clears throat] brothers.

[01:13:30]Actually, that time I was a student of Dhaka College honors honors first year, but right now I'm honors third year, okay? So, just I saw you one time, okay?

[01:13:39]One day here. So, after that when I I see you, I watched you in the in the video. So, I just I think maybe you you are that person or not, okay? That time I saw you right now.

[01:13:52]>> can't really remember that. I was one of the instructor of Dhaka University Language Club and later on because I was also preparing myself for the IELTS test that when I was conducting sessions in Dhaka University Language Club. It was fun, you know? There were a lot of people from Dhaka University, which was my dream university in Bangladesh.

[01:14:11]Good there? Okay, brothers. Okay, brother. Anyone else?

[01:14:14]Thank you so much. Any questions from anyone?

[01:14:24]Uh We had Afia bhai as well, right? So, where did he actually go?

[01:14:31]Yep. So, remember one thing, brother.

[01:14:32]Whenever I'm actually conducting a class, try to take it so seriously. At the same time, whenever I'm giving chance to actually speak to not to not lose that chance because who knows, you know, maybe if by getting some feedback from me, you can actually improve yourself very well.

[01:14:48]So, I'm not going to actually just going one by one and ask every time why shouldn't you actually speak, why you are not speaking. It's the responsibility by yourself, okay?

[01:14:58]Because you know what we are going to do here, you know everything that you're going to actually do, so it's up to you how you're going to actually utilize your time. It's You can watch thousands of videos from YouTube. You can even, you know, watch a bunch of things. You can listen a bunch of people, but at the end you will have to work by yourself.

[01:15:15]So, do not just listen to me, work on it. And whenever I'm giving chance, try to get the opportunity, man. Opportunity will actually change your entire life, you know? And you will get amazing thing, amazing rewards in the future.

[01:15:27]So, hope you guys enjoyed. See you in the next session. One day, maybe tomorrow, then maybe the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I'd I'd be maybe busy with my work and I do have some assignment to complete, so maybe the day after tomorrow I will be coming up in the same time. See you in the free next session, man. We will be finishing all the rules and regulations about pronunciations, okay? In a good way.
