00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.180
Welcome back to the Learn English Podcast. Let's

00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:06.960
improve your English pronunciation. Listen first,

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:11.960
repeat, and then we'll shadow. Today we're talking

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.759
about Hollywood, so try to copy my California

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.420
accent. Repeat after me. Hollywood is in California.

00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:30.120
California. So you want to make sure you put

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.240
your stress on the four syllable. California.

00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:43.340
And it's famous around the world. I know people

00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:45.659
struggle with that last word, so let's say it

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:55.719
again. World. World. Hollywood is in California.

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:05.659
and it's famous around the world. It's where

00:01:05.659 --> 00:01:17.180
movies are made and stories come to life. People

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:26.700
travel there every year to see it in person.

00:01:30.019 --> 00:01:35.019
People travel there every year to see it in person.

00:01:40.659 --> 00:01:45.120
Now try to shadow this paragraph and say it with

00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.159
me. If you can't do that yet, that's okay. Just

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.120
listen to my rhythm and my intonation. Hollywood

00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.680
is in California, and it's famous around the

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.640
world. It's where movies are made and stories

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.359
come to life. People travel there every year

00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.580
to see it in person. Now let's go to the next

00:02:10.580 --> 00:02:15.159
paragraph. Repeat after me. When you say Hollywood,

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:29.430
people know exactly. When you say Hollywood,

00:02:29.729 --> 00:02:40.569
people know exactly what you mean. Today, fewer

00:02:40.569 --> 00:02:52.870
films are made there. but it's still an icon.

00:02:57.409 --> 00:03:02.250
Today, fewer films are made there, but it's still

00:03:02.250 --> 00:03:15.150
an icon. It stands for creativity, creativity,

00:03:15.770 --> 00:03:30.659
ambition, and big dreams. It stands for creativity,

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:41.800
ambition, and big dreams. Now let's shadow this

00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.099
paragraph. When you say Hollywood, people know

00:03:46.099 --> 00:03:51.219
exactly what you mean. Today, fewer films are

00:03:51.219 --> 00:03:55.789
made there. but it's still an icon. It stands

00:03:55.789 --> 00:04:00.789
for creativity, ambition, and big dreams. Now

00:04:00.789 --> 00:04:05.030
let's do both paragraphs together. Hollywood

00:04:05.030 --> 00:04:08.729
is in California, and it's famous around the

00:04:08.729 --> 00:04:12.069
world. It's where movies are made and stories

00:04:12.069 --> 00:04:16.329
come to life. People travel there every year

00:04:16.329 --> 00:04:19.970
to see it in person. When you say Hollywood,

00:04:20.250 --> 00:04:24.529
people know exactly... what you mean. Today,

00:04:24.750 --> 00:04:28.189
fewer films are made there, but it's still an

00:04:28.189 --> 00:04:32.709
icon. It stands for creativity, ambition, and

00:04:32.709 --> 00:04:36.430
big dreams. Keep practicing that rhythm and flow.

00:04:36.889 --> 00:04:40.189
