Hello to my 400,000 plus amazing subscribers.

Welcome back to English is easy with Connor.

Today we are going to be working on your English pronunciation and speaking skills.
4
In particular we will be focusing on long vowel sounds to make your English sound more natural and native.
5
Here's how it works.
6
All you need to do is say the sentence that you see with me or repeat it after me.
7
The sentence will get longer and more difficult as we go along.
8
So click like and make sure you watch till the end to get best results.
9
Here we are starting off at level one with a long A sound.
10
Before we jump in, practice that sound with me.
11
A, A, A, A, A, A, A.
12
Okay, let's do a slow read of the level one sentence.
13
Are you ready?
14
Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.
15
Okay, great.
16
Kate takes train, main.
17
Yeah, let's try this again at a medium speed.
18
A little bit faster now.
19
Ready?
20
Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.
21
And now, one last time at a quick native speed.
22
Ready?
23
Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.
24
Awesome job.
25
Let's go ahead and level this sentence up to level two.
26
As you can see, we have taken the sentence and we've stretched it longer.
27
We have added some long E sounds.
28
Let's practice that sound before we jump in.
29
Say with me.
30
E, E, E.
31
Okay.
32
Let's jump in with a slow read from the beginning,
33
Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.
34
And she sees three elegant dresses in a window,
35
but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one.
36
Okay, so our main character here is out shopping, right?
37
Getting a gift for her friend Grace.
38
And what does she see?
39
She sees three elegant dresses.
40
What does elegant mean?
41
maybe a little bit fancy nice looks really good maybe a long flowing dress could be an elegant dress
42
and K however she does not buy the dress because she needs to see the price before she agrees.
43
Let's say this whole thing again, this time at a medium speed.
44
Are you ready?
45
Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.
46
and she sees three elegant dresses in a window,
47
but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one.
48
Okay, that is really giving your mouth a workout, but let's try one more time at a fast native speed.
49
This is how I would really speak and say the sentence naturally.
50
Ready?
51
Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace,
52
and she sees three elegant dresses in a window, but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one.
53
leveling up again here we are at level three we've stretched
54
the sentence even longer with some long I sounds practice
55
that sound with me I I I words like the Side and try,
56
find, nice, tie, stylish, white.
57
Those use the long I vowel sound.
58
So this time, let's begin at a medium speed.
59
Okay, from the beginning, a little faster,
60
Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.
61
and she sees three elegant dresses in a window,
62
but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one.
63
So she decides to try a different store where she finds a nice silk tie and a stylish white shirt.

68
but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one
69
so she decides to try a different store where she finds a nice silk tie and a stylish white shirt
70

71
so she is at a different store a different shop we
72
could say she finds a silk tie there okay stylish white
73
shirt what is stylish means it looks good how could we say that a different way How could we paraphrase that?
74
Maybe fashionable, a fashionable white shirt.
75
Maybe we could say chic, a chic, chic white shirt.
76
They both mean stylish.
77
Looks good, right?
78

Über diese Lektion

In dieser Lektion konzentrieren wir uns auf die Verbesserung Ihrer englischen Aussprache und Sprechfähigkeiten. Besonders werden wir an langen Vokalen arbeiten, um Ihr Englisch natürlicher und einheimischer klingen zu lassen. Sie werden Sätze hören, die schrittweise länger und komplexer werden, was Ihnen dabei hilft, sowohl Ihr Hörverständnis als auch Ihre Aussprache zu verbessern. Indem Sie die Sätze nachsprechen, werden Sie nicht nur Ihre Sprachfähigkeiten üben, sondern auch das Klangmuster der englischen Sprache besser verstehen. Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, um Ihr Englisch durch wiederholtes Üben zu verfeinern!

Schlüsselvokabular & -Phrasen

  • long vowel sounds – lange Vokallaute
  • elegant – elegant
  • price – Preis
  • great gift – tolles Geschenk
  • main shopping street – Haupt-Einkaufsstraße
  • agree to buy – zustimmen zu kaufen
  • train – Zug
  • friend – Freund/in

Übungstipps

Um das Beste aus dieser Unterrichtseinheit herauszuholen, empfehlen wir Ihnen, die Technik des Shadowings anzuwenden. Das bedeutet, dass Sie gleichzeitig mit dem Sprecher sprechen, um den Rhythmus, die Betonung und den Klang zu erfassen. Starten Sie mit einem langsamen Tempo, während Sie die Sätze nachsprechen, und steigern Sie dann allmählich Ihr Tempo, bis Sie das native Sprechtempo erreichen. Achten Sie dabei auf die langen Vokale – wie im Beispiel A und E – und versuchen Sie, Ihren Mund so zu formen, dass die Klänge genau wiedergegeben werden. Diese Technik ist besonders effektiv, um Ihre Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und kann auf verschiedenen shadowing sites oder mit shadow speech Programmen geübt werden. Ja, auch shadowspeaks bietet wertvolle Übungen für diese Methode an. Üben Sie regelmäßig und seien Sie geduldig mit sich selbst; Ihr Englisch wird sich sichtbar verbessern!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
