Hi. I'm Tim and this is my Pronunciation Workshop.

Here, I'm gonna show you how English is really spoken. Come on, let's go inside.

Today, I'm going to use two things to help me demonstrate a feature of English pronunciation. ||||||||||||vlastnost||| ||||||||||||caractéristique||| ||||||||||||aspect|||

This is a bin and this is a bean. What's the connection? Well, I'm sure you know the past participle |||binaire|||||haricot||||||||||| |||Thrown away|||||Been|||||||||||participle

of the verb 'to be' - 'been', right? Well, we asked some people how long they had been

in London.

I've been in London seventeen years. Tizenhét éve vagyok Londonban.

I have been in London seven years. I've been in London for more than a year now. Hét éve vagyok Londonban. Már több mint egy éve vagyok Londonban.

I've been in London every summer since I was eighteen. he|||||||||

Now, they all used the word 'been' - but nobody Mindannyian használták a "volt" szót - de senki sem

actually said 'been'. Listen again. What word do you actually hear them say? valójában azt mondta, hogy "volt". Hallgassa meg újra. Melyik szót hallottad, hogy kimondták?

In fluent everyday English, when the auxiliary

'been' is not stressed its pronunciation changes to /bɪn/. 'I've been in London since 2015' ||||||||been|||||

becomes 'I've /bɪn/ in London since 2015'. This is what's known as a weak form and it diventa 'I've /bɪn/ in London since 2015'. Questo è ciò che è noto come una forma debole e questo

helps speech to flow more naturally and fluently. Here are some more examples. |||be smooth||||smoothly||||| segíti a beszéd természetesebb és gördülékenyebb áramlását. Íme még néhány példa.

I've been working here for several years. Több éve dolgozom itt.

What have you been up to since we last met? Mit csináltál azóta, hogy utoljára találkoztunk?

So you've heard the examples, and now it's Szóval hallottad a példákat, és most ez a

your turn. You know the drill: listen and repeat.
