British vs American English Pronunciation: 3 Words that Americans Don't Understand when I Say Them

source: To Fluency     2017年11月1日
This English lesson explains the difference between British and American pronunciation.
The three words that Americans (sometimes) don't understand in a British accent are:
1. Jack
2. water
3. can't

JACK: VOWEL LENGTH
The difference here is the length of the vowel.
Listen here: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/d...

WATER: /T/ & DROPPED /R/
Did you notice that the American version uses the /d/ sound while the British version uses the /t/ sound. Additionally, in British English, the /r/ sound is often dropped and replaced by the schwa.
Listen here: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/d...

CAN'T: DIFFERENT VOWEL SOUND
In American English, the vowel sound for CAN and CAN'T is the same. In British English, it's different.

English @ the Movies: 'Shaking Us Down'

source: VOA Learning English    2016年8月13日
With English @ the Movies we teach you American sayings you might not know. Here is one from the movie "Joy," based on a true story. Wonder what it means when the woman named Joy says "seems like you're shaking us down?" Watch, and find out.
Originally published at - http://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/...

# shake (one) down: 
1. To blackmail someone for money; to extort someone. The assistant has been shaking the governor down ever since he found out that she'd been taking bribes.
2. To force someone to pay an exorbitant or unfair amount of money. I think it's criminal that the IRS gets to shake you down for so much of your hard-earned cash each year. Her private school offers the best education in the state, but they don't hesitate to shake us down for the privilege.
3. To ask or pressure someone for money. Before you know it, the kids will be driving their own cars and shaking you down for money on the weekends.
