Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, let's look at a couple of common English sentences
4
that people say all the time in daily life that use the words shouldn't, couldn't, and wouldn't.
5
Let's take a look.
6
You shouldn't be here.
7
You shouldn't be here.
8
So here, this T is going to want to disappear or turn into a glottal stop, depending on how fast I talk.
9
So listen to this.
10
You shouldn't be here.
11
Shouldn't be here.
12
At that speed, it's turning into a glottal stop.
13
Shouldn't, it cuts off in my throat, be here.
14
You shouldn't be here.
15
But now, if I speak a little faster, it just goes away entirely.
16
You shouldn't be here.
17
Shouldn't be here.
18
You shouldn't be here.
19
Next, he shouldn't have said that.
20
So here, shouldn't have said that.
21
Again, at a lower speed, we go into a glottal stop.
22
Shouldn't, cuts off in the throat, shouldn't have said that.
23
When I speak a little faster though, something interesting happens.
24
It disappears, the T disappears, and then the N goes over the H.
25
The V disappears, and we're left with shouldn't.
26
He shouldn't.
27
He shouldn't have said that.
28
Shouldn't.
29
Shouldn't have said that.
30
He shouldn't have said that.
31
Also pay attention here at the end, the D and TH connect together into one sound.
32
Not said that, but said that.
33
And at the end of the sentence, we have a glottal stop at the end of that.
34
He shouldn't have said that.
35
He shouldn't have said that.
36
Next, I couldn't see it.
37
Again, we'll have the same rule.
38
Glottal stop at the end of the sentence couldn't see it.
39
I couldn't see it.
40
And now we have the same rule here again too.
41
Fast speech turns it into couldn't see it with no consonant at all,
42
but slow speech turns it into a glottal stop at the end.
43
Couldn't see it.
44
I couldn't see it.
45
I couldn't see it.
46
Next, why wouldn't I?
47
Why wouldn't I?
48
So here, if I'm speaking clearly and carefully, I'll say, why wouldn't I?
49
Wouldn't I?
50
With a T there.
51
The difference is that we have a vowel after the T.
52
Why wouldn't I?
53
But if I speak quickly, it disappears, and there's no glottal stop.
54
Why wouldn't I?
55
Why wouldn't I?
56
Wouldn't I?
57
The T completely disappears, and we connect N to I, just like in the phrase, when I.
58
When I did that, why wouldn't I?
59
Next, why wouldn't you?
60
So here, why wouldn't you?
61
You might have learned already that a T before a Y turns into a CH.
62
Why wouldn't you?
63
And that's true.
64
I do say this quite a lot.
65
Why wouldn't you?
66
Why wouldn't you?
67
Why wouldn't you?
68
But I also hear people say, why wouldn't you?
69
Wouldn't you?
70
They put a glottal stop here, which follows the same rule, right?
71
We have a T turning into a glottal stop before a consonant.
72
So why wouldn't you?
73
Why wouldn't you?
74
But in this case, because we have this special rule with you, words ending in T before you turn into chu.
75
So why wouldn't you?
76
Why wouldn't you?
77
And so you can choose any one of those options.
78
Why wouldn't you?
79
Why wouldn't you?
80
Or why wouldn't you?
81
Both sound great to me.
82
Last, she couldn't help it.
83
She couldn't help it.
84
Now, here we had shouldn't have turns into shouldn't, but we're not going to reduce this H in help.
85
We're going to keep this as a full sound, and we're not going to reduce it into nothing like we do with the verb have.
86
Here, then, T just turns into the same glottal stop we know from the other ones.
87
She couldn't help it.
88
She couldn't help it.
89
And we have the same glottal stop at the end here too.
90
She couldn't help it.
91
She couldn't help it.
92
All right, one last time.
93
You shouldn't be here.
94
You shouldn't be here.
95
He shouldn't have said that.
96
He shouldn't have said that.
97
I couldn't see it.
98
I couldn't see it.
99
Why wouldn't I?
100
Why wouldn't I?
101
Why wouldn't you?
102
Why wouldn't you?
103
She couldn't help it.
104
She couldn't help it.
105
Let me know what other phrases you want me to analyze in the next video, and I'll see you there.

このレッスンについて

このレッスンでは、「shouldn't」、「couldn't」、および「wouldn't」といった言葉を含む日常的な英語の文章に焦点を当てます。これらの表現は、特に会話において非常に頻繁に使用されます。このレッスンを通じて、これらの言葉の正しい発音とリズムを学び、流暢に話せる力を身に付けましょう。英語の発音を良くするためのスキルとして、英語シャドーイングに取り組むことも重要です。

練習のヒント

効果的な英語スピーキング練習のためには、いくつかのシャドーイングのテクニックを活用しましょう。まず、この動画のスピードに合わせて練習することが重要です。特に速い発話の中で音が消えたり変化したりする部分に注意を向けましょう。例えば、「shouldn't be here」の部分では、次第に「shouldn't」の「T」が消え、声門閉鎖音に変わる様子を観察できます。

具体的には、以下のように練習してみてください：

  • 最初は、文をゆっくりと発音し、言葉の中の各音をしっかり聞き取ります。
  • 次に、音の消失や変化を意識しながら、少し速いスピードで発話してみます。
  • 音が消える瞬間を捉えるために、声に出して繰り返し練習します。
  • 最後に、実際の会話のコンテキストでこれらのフレーズを使えるようになるまで練習を続けましょう。

これらの練習を通じて、より自然で流暢な英語スピーキングを身につけましょう。英語シャドーイングは非常に効果的で、特に英語の発音を良くするために役立ちます。shadow speakの方法を用いて、さらなる上達を目指しましょう。

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。
