9What sounds are missing?
Heres a bit more insight into this particular extract: on the
slide you see the first sentence from the video. In red are the
words that my students couldnt catch even if when I replayed and
asked them to transcribe. Click on embedded audio to listen. Two
features that I find quite striking: first, the red bits are 13
words out of 50 almost 50%! Secondly, theyre all in top 100 words
of English. In general top 100 words of English cover over 50% of
any speech and they are the ones that are quite difficult to catch:
because theyre so frequent, people dont bother pronouncing them
completely.9
