Okay, today's little bonus lesson is about English pronunciation, especially American intonation.

And I'm going to teach you how to say rude words, bad words, profanity in English, especially

American English, because these are good words for practicing pronunciation. They show how Americans usually pronounce words.

So we're going to start with the word shit.

Shit. Sometimes students who are learning English, they try to say the word and they say,

shit, shit, shit.

It's very short, the vowel sound, the I, the I sound is too short.

And to an American, this sounds kind of funny and strange.

Usually we say shit when we're angry, right?

Shit!

It means I'm upset, I'm angry, I'm not happy.

Sometimes we'll say it when we are surprised.

So basically this word and most bad words in English,

they show strong emotion.

Usually a negative emotion, but not always.

Sometimes it might be a positive emotion.

When you pronounce this word, you need to stretch the word so you don't say shit shit shit

it's not very short like that you have to stretch it and I'm going to exaggerate now I'm going to say it very

very much slowly.

Shh, you hear the Ih, the Ih has to be longer, two times longer, or maybe three times.

So it's not, not, shit, shit, no, no, you want to say,

shit, shit, shit, I, e, I, shit.
