1
If your goal is to sound more natural in American English pronunciation,
2
then one of the best things you can do is to look at the techniques
3
that native speakers are using and start applying it to your own speech.
4
And that's what we are about to do in this episode of Say It Native.
5
My name is Jeff.
6
It rhymes with breath, which is one of the four key concepts to achieving a more natural sound in American English.
7
Today, I'm going to give you five examples of things
8
that native speakers are doing that often English language learners are not doing.
9
We're going to be doing this through a series of clips.
10
As we do this, be sure to let me know any questions
11
that you have about American English pronunciation or even some things
12
that you noticed that maybe we're not going to touch on directly.
13
Let's take a look at our first clip here.
14
I haven't seen this book in a long time.
15
Play that again.
16
Take a guess at what I'm going to say about the pronunciation feature here.
17
I haven't seen this book in a long time.
18
Seen, and she says this, but how does she actually join those words together?
19
If you're listening for that heavy TH sound in this, you might be a little disappointed.
20
Pay attention to how she links the words.
21
I haven't seen this book in a long time.
22
She's not really saying seen this.
23
She's really saying more seen this.
24
I haven't seen this book.
25
I haven't seen this book.
26
This is a very common situation when you have a word that ends on an N sound,
27
like seen, and then your next word starts with a TH.
28
Very, very frequently what happens is that N sound gets repeated and that TH sound gets weakened, or it may even just disappear completely.
29
I haven't seen this book in a long time.
30
seen this becomes seen this.
31
I haven't seen this book.
32
I haven't seen this book.
33
This is especially true when that th word is reduced.
34
You can see this in other examples like and then and things like that.
35
So see if you can start finding it in other examples of native speaker speech.
36
Maybe you already do this in your own speech.
37
You can let me know.
38
Let us know also too if you're checking in like Shoke is.
39
Hello to Shoke.
40
Thanks for stopping by, man.
41
It's always good to see you.
42
Let's take a look at our second clip.
43
Get an idea.
44
What do you think I'm going to say for this one here?
45
Okay, now we'll have a poem from Rameka.
46
I'm going to play that one more time.
47
See if you can guess what the pronunciation feature here is that we're going to target.
48
Okay, now we'll have a poem from Rameka.
49
She says, now we'll have, now we'll have.
50
This is the contraction.
51
And I want to highlight contractions because very often native speakers are using contractions.
52
I was just talking about this in our Mission English group earlier.
53
But a lot of times English learners are not.
54
They're saying things like there is instead of theirs or when are instead of when are.
55
In this case, the contraction is we will becoming will.
56
And now we'll have a poem from Ramika.
57
Desire, now we'll have, now we'll have.
58
Typically, the contracted part two is usually reduced.
59
It's a little bit weaker.
60
It's not as strong.
61
And these are all things you can do to achieve a more natural sound.
62
Listen again to how she says, and now we'll have a poem from Ramika.
63
I mean, no. What are some contractions that you use frequently in your own speech?
64
Or is this something that you don't use at all?
65
It would be great to hear about your frequency as well.
66
Shoke already mentioned that she uses the first feature.
67
That's cool.
68
We want to know what you guys are doing with your own English.
69
Let's get on to our third clip.
70
Get an idea here.
71
What is the technique that you can start applying immediately to your own speech to start sounding more natural in American English?
72
Take a look.
73
Just listening to Greg's.
74
Play that again.
75
Listen to how she says the word to.
76
I think just listening to Greg's.
77
Greg's.
78
Notice that instead of saying listening to, she actually says listening to,
79
listening to, like listening to you or listening to them, things like that.
80
So very often the word to does not actually sound like the word to.
81
In this case, it's getting reduced to to, like listening to, listening to music.
82
Another common reduction that you'll get with the to as well is instead of to, you may even hear that T become a fast D sound.
83
The D that's pronounced very quickly.
84
It's like listening to can also become listening to, listening to.
85
In this case, though, she keeps the T.
86
I think just listening to Greg's.
87
Keep takeaways.
88
Don't pronounce the ooh like ooh instead of listening to.
89
Very commonly, that's going to be reduced.
90
guys if you're already getting value from this there's a couple things that you can do
91
whether just liking the stream letting other people know about it
92
if they're interested in american english or
93
if you want to get this sort of analysis for your own speech
94
you're like hey let's not analyze native speakers let's see what i'm doing what am i doing in my speech
95
that doesn't let me sound natural well
96
we have a program called mission english where every single day for 30 minutes a day we meet two times
97
and we do pronunciation practice exercises together so
98
So it's you, me, it's a maximum of three other students on screen.
99
And we're just doing pronunciation exercises.
100
Kind of like today.
101
We listen to native speakers and then we try to copy them.
102
We do exercises.
103
So for instance, you can see today is Monday.
104
So we just had our 8 p .m session.
105
That's that 20 over on the left.
106
We're going to meet again at 930.
107
We meet also at like 1 .30 p .m.
108
So these are all the different times.
109
New York.
110
So you can see all different times.
111
We have morning, afternoon, and evening sessions.
112
Each one of these classes is 30 minutes.
113
And the best part is that you pay once
114
and you can come to as many classes during the month as you want.
115
All the classes are saved in the Facebook group too.
116
So if one class is particularly helpful, you can watch it again and again and again.
117
You can hear yourself.
118
You can hear the other students.
119
You can hear me and my feedback.
120
We'd love to work with you in Mission English.
121
Also because, I'm going to be honest with you guys, the things we focus on on this channel, placement, where you're projecting sound from,
122
breath, how much airflow you're going through, pitch, like are you going high enough in your English? or you're also going low enough.
123
And then lastly, trying to strengthen your vowel sounds, weaken your consonant sounds.
124
There is no other English program out there that is targeting those things.
125
So you're still going to have an accent if you're just focusing on mouth position.
126
We talk about the things that actually give you a natural sound.
127
So that would be great to work with you in our Mission English program.
128
To find out more information about this, see our schedule and things like that, go to fluentamerican .com, which is right there.
129
But let's go on to our last couple clips here.
130
What am I going to say about this file?
131
But also holding myself accountable to what I've birthed.
132
Listen again to how you hear the word to once more.
133
But also holding myself accountable to what I've birthed.
134
What you're going to notice is he pauses.
135
I know pauses have such a horrible reputation when we're learning a language, but native speakers pause all the time,
136
but they do it in a way that sounds natural.
137
So this is one technique that you can start applying to your speech to also sound natural is firstly, when you enter your pause,
138
try to extend your breath a little bit.
139
Listen to how he says to the first time.
140
But also hold myself accountable to what I've birthed.
141
You can hear he drags out the sound and he also keeps the breath flowing.
142
So when you enter a pause in your own speech,
143
try to hold the sound a little longer and try to keep that air flowing a little longer, too.
144
That's going to give you a more natural pause.
145
Then how do you exit the pause?
146
Take a look at what he does.
147
I'm also holding myself accountable to what I've birthed.
148
The second time he says, too, the pitch is a little bit different.
149
And it's also said a little bit faster.
150
This is another technique as well that you can use when you pause is that when you pause, try repeating the word that you paused on.
151
It's like to do this.
152
Why left?
153
You're coming.
154
So notice that again, one way to make your pauses more natural, just repeat that last word you say and change the pitch a little bit.
155
And that will immediately give it a more natural feel.
156
I have one last tip for you guys
157
if you're getting value here's one way
158
you can help me out like what you're hearing let us know by liking
159
and subscribe let us take listen to our last file here i mean
160
i was really fast we're gonna play that again what did you say i mean
161
this is a super common it's not really a filler word it's just a common a very common expression
162
that you're going to hear native speakers use when you're seeking agreement from someone else you
163
We want to make sure that everyone else is on the same page as you.
164
You know what I mean?
165
You know what I mean?
166
You know what I mean?
167
He's not saying, you know what I mean, or you know what I mean.
168
You know what I mean?
169
You know what I mean?
170
You know what I mean?
171
It's just vowel sounds.
172
And this kind of highlights one of the features of American English where we really want to weaken consonant sounds.
173
It's not, you know what I mean.
174
It's, you know what I mean?
175
You really just hear the vowel sounds taking over, and this is going to give you a much more natural sound.
176
The other thing you're going to notice too is that because this is just a phrase,
177
it doesn't have a whole lot of meaning on its own.
178
It's really more of just trying to, again, get agreement from someone or to kind of just show that you're on the same page as them.
179
So there's not really a lot of meaning here.
180
So what often happens is the pitch is going to be pretty low.
181
You know what I mean?
182
The pitch is going to be pretty low.
183
You know what I mean?
184
Do you see how the pitch just went down when I said it?
185
So this is a way that's going to help you achieve a more natural sound as well.
186
Let's listen to that one more time.
187
You know what I mean?
188
Great.
189
So those are five quick things that you can immediately start applying to your own English.
190
Let me know how that goes.
191
Let me know which of these is easiest, which one of these is hardest.
192
And we'll get back into our American English pronunciation journey.
193
Once more, my name is Jeff.
194
It rhymes with breath.
195
If you want to get this level of analysis for your own speech every single day of the week,
196
we can do that in our Mission English program.
197
I'd love to work with you.
198
You can find out more information at fluentamerican .com.
199
Thank you guys so much for your time.
200
Have a good day.
201
Have a good night.
202
Good afternoon.
203
Take care.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
