Here's the secret about English R.
45
Your tongue never touches anything in your mouth.
46
In many languages, the tongue touches your teeth or the top of your mouth.

For English R, curl your tongue back a little bit.
49
Don't let it touch anything.

English has two TH sounds.
71
This is very strange for many languages.
72
These sounds don't exist in most other languages.
73
That's why they feel so difficult.
74
The first TH is in words like this and that.
75
When you say these words,
76
your throat makes a small vibration.
77
Put your hand on your throat and say this, do you feel it?
78
The second th is in words like think and thank.
79
For these words, there is no vibration in your throat.
80
Just air comes out.
81
Here's how to make both sounds.
82
Put your tongue tip between your teeth.
83
Don't bite it, just rest it there gently, then make the sound.

97
Try again.

The 30 thieves thought they saw something.
99
Many English learners mix up W and V sounds.
100
This can change the meaning of words completely.

For example, wine and vine are very different words.
102
The W sound uses both lips.
103
Make your lips round, like you want to whistle.
104
Both lips work together to make a circle shape.
105
The V sound is different.
106
Your bottom lip touches your top teeth.
107
It's like you want to bite your lip very gently.
108
Let's practice W sounds first.

after me.
111

128
The English L sound has two types,
129
but don't worry native speakers do this without thinking.
130
You can learn it too.
131
The first type is at the beginning of words, like love and like.
132
Put your tongue tip on the area just behind your top teeth.
133
Keep it there and make the sound.
134
The second type is at the end of words, like call and all.
135
Your tongue tip goes to the same place,
136
but the back of your tongue goes down.
137
This makes a deeper sound.
138
Let's practice the first type first.
139

Try again.
152
Little children like to play ball games.
153
These two sounds are very different,
154
but many learners mix them up.
155
The difference is in where you put your tongue.
156
For the S sound, put your tongue tip close to the area behind your top teeth.
157
Make a thin stream of air come out.
158
It should sound sharp and clear.
159

It should sound softer.

Informazioni su Questa Lezione
In questa lezione, ci concentreremo sulla tua pronuncia in inglese attraverso l'uso di scioglilingua. Queste frasi particolari sono progettate per aiutarti a pronunciare meglio l'inglese, rendendo il processo di apprendimento più divertente e coinvolgente. Durante la lezione, imparerai a muovere la bocca e la lingua in modi che ti permetteranno di produrre suoni tipici della lingua inglese. Gli scioglilingua non solo riscaldano i tuoi muscoli facciali, ma ti permettono anche di affrontare alcune delle difficoltà che molti studenti incontrano con i suoni inglesi, in particolare il suono "R". Dopo questa pratica, parlare inglese ti sembrerà decisamente più facile e naturale.
Vocabolario Chiave & Frasi
- Scioglilingua: Frasi che aiutano a migliorare la pronuncia.
- Pronuncia: Il modo in cui le parole vengono dette.
- Suono inglese: I suoni specifici delle parole nella lingua inglese.
- Movimento della lingua: Il modo in cui la lingua si sposta nella bocca per produrre suoni.
- Esercizi di riscaldamento: Attività per preparare il tuo apparato fonatorio prima di iniziare a parlare.
- Tocco: Il contatto della lingua con parti della bocca.
- Bocca: Un riconoscibile strumento per la produzione del linguaggio.
Consigli per la Pratica
Quando pratichi lo shadowing, segui questi consigli per massimizzare i tuoi progressi. Inizia con un ritmo lento e chiaro, come presentato nel video. Ripeti dopo ogni scioglilingua, cercando di imitare non solo le parole, ma anche il tono e l’intonazione dell’insegnante. Anche se all'inizio potrebbe sembrare difficile, continua a praticare con costanza. Utilizza il shadow speak per assorbire la pronuncia attraverso l’ascolto attivo. Assicurati di riscaldare bene la tua bocca all'inizio, come suggerito nel video, per facilitare la produzione dei suoni. Ricorda che il tuo obiettivo è quello di rendere il tuo discorso chiaro e fluido, quindi non avere paura di ripetere le frasi fino a quando non ti senti sicuro. La pratica costante è fondamentale per eccellere nello shadowing in inglese, quindi sfrutta al meglio questa opportunità per migliorare la tua shadow speech.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
