Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expressions.
All right, guys. Today's expression is really simple, but listen carefully.
It's actually two expressions.
The first expression is.
What do you. And the second expression is.
What do you. OK. Did you hear.
I'll say it again. The first expression.
What do you. And the second expression.
What do you. OK. Right.
No problem. So the first.
You want Okay. Let's go ahead and listen to the dialog and see if you can hear the two different expressions.
Here you go. What are you doing?
I'm making you happy.
But by typing on the computer, what do you mean?
I'm buying your birthday present.
Aww, that's so sweet, what a lovely couple.
This lovely couple is having a conversation and the guy, what did the guy say the first time?
He said, what are you, what are you, what are you, what are you doing?
And then what did he say later?
What do you, what do you, what do you mean?
But let's slow down, what are you doing?
What do you mean? Let's slow down.
The first one? What are you doing?
The second one, what do you mean?
But wait a minute. What are you doing?

What are you and what do you sound the same when an American says it really fast?
So, how do you know if it is are or do.

It's really simple, but again, this can be really crazy for students.
What are you saying?
What are you or what do you?
Yeah, in daily English, believe it or not, Americans tend to pronounce them the same.
What are you? What are you...
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What do you do? Isn't that cool?
Yeah, if you like learning about this pronunciation stuff, then you absolutely need to learn with me.
Study with me. I have DDM, which is a listening class, but the philosophy of the class is if you can say it like the American, then you can hear it.
So I teach you American pronunciation.
I teach you how and why Americans say things the way they do.
And remember, an American in Los Angeles, an American in Texas, an American in Boston are going to speak differently.
And I teach you those differences.
Yeah, it's great stuff.
But that's for your listening skill.
If you really want to speak, well then, perf is perfect.
Perf is my speaking class.
P R F pronunciation intonation rhythm and flow and what I focus on is General or standard, but we usually say general American Pronunciation, this is if you go to the dictionary the online dictionary they give you a speaker that teaches you pronunciation I teach you that pronunciation with blending and some cancellation.
Not too much. I want your pronunciation to be as clean as possible.
But it's not just about pronunciation because pronunciation alone is important but it's not enough.
You need to know how to speak.
So intonation, rhythm and flow are also super important.
They're so these classes is DDM, which is daily dictation members, it's listening, and perf, which is pronunciation, intonation, rhythm, and flow speaking, these two classes are so excellent and I want you to learn for free, yep.
