Exercise 8-8: Finding Reduced Sounds    CD 4 Track 22 


Go through the paragraph that follows and find the three [ü]'s and the five to seven [u]'s. Remember that your own speech style can increase the possibilities. With "to" before a vowel 1, you have a choice of a strong [u], a soft [ü], a schwa, or to telescope the two words and eliminate the vowel entirely 2. Pause the CD to mark the [ü] and [u] sounds. The firstone is marked for you. Remember to check Answer Key, beginning on page 193.


Hello, my name is_______________. I'm taking American Accent Training. There's a lot to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I shüd pick up on the American intonation 3 pattern pretty easily, although the only way to get it is to practice all of the time. I ūse the up and down, or peaks and valleys intonation more than I used to. I've been paying attention to pitch, too. It's like  walking down a staircase. I've been talking to a  lot of Americans lately, and they tell methat I'm easier to understand. Anyway, I could go on and on, but the important thing is to listen well and sound good. Well, what do you think? Do I?
