Rache’s English – American Accent Study (Palmer)

How about this, you know, I,
So the first three words
we’ve got the most stress on the first word.
And the other two words just sort of fall down
from that peak of stress.
How about this?
So she drops the shwa in ‘about’.
that’s pretty common for “how about”
to become “How about this”
With a stop T.
How about this?
How about this, you know, I
So then we start going up again.
How about this, you know, I
You know, I.
so ‘know’, a little bit of stress.
‘I’ some stress as well.
The word ‘you’ I’m not hearing the [úː] vowel there.
You know, I.
Definitely that’s reducing to the schwa.
