1
I'm excited for you because in this video, you're gonna perfect one of the main consonant sounds in the American English accent,
2
and it's a sound you might not even know about.
3
I'm talking about the stop T.
4
The trick is, it's actually not a sound.
5
There's no sound.
6
The air stops, and that's why it's called a stop T, but it's different from leaving the T out.
7
And it's easy to hear when we slow it down.
8
Listen to this.
9
The word is outdoors and it's in slow motion.
10
You'll hear two separate distinct parts.
11
Outdoors.
12
Let's look at the volume of the word.
13
outdoors.
14
Do you see this blank spot?
15
No sound.
16
That's the stop of air, the stop T.
17
Outdoors.
18
Outdoors.
19
So if this stop T is no sound, isn't that the same thing as no T?
20
And if that's true, what's the difference between fly, which has no T, and flight,
21
that ends in a stop T but has all the same sounds.
22
By the way, this is the symbol for the stop T in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
23
Fly.
24
flight They don't sound the same, do they?
25
But we're not hearing a tt sound.
26
We're not hearing that release flight.
27
Flight.
28
There's no T, but it sounds different from fly, which has the same sounds but no T.
29
Let's compare them again.
30
Fly.
31
flight fly flight.
32
So the difference is in how the sound before the T sounds, in fly.
33
Fly.
34
Fly.
35
Pitch goes up and then it comes back down.
36
Fly.
37
It sort of tapers off.
38
But in the word flight, flight.
39
The sound has an abrupt stop.
40
It doesn't have that falling or tapering off.
41
Flight.
42
fly That abrupt stop is the stop T.
43
Let's listen to a couple more pairs.
44
Sue.
45
Sue.
46
DAY J How do we make this stop of air and why not make a full 't'?
47
T sound.
48
The thing about American English is we love smoothness.
49
Everything links together in a flow of continuous sound.
50
That's one of the characteristics of American English, but tt isn't very smooth.
51
It's a stop of air, tt, and a release of air with some energy.
52
So the stop T came about where we skip the tt, release part, to make our speech more smooth.
53
We stop the air, but then we just go into the next sound without tt, the release.
54
Take for example the word fitness.
55
fitness -ness F consonant, ih vowel, a stop, fit, Then the end sound.
56
fitness.
57
Fitness.
58
To stop the air, I cut it off in my throat at the vocal cords.
59
The tongue can be in position for the T, but it doesn't have to be fit The air is stopped there.
60
Ness fitness.
61
Fitness.
62
Here are a couple more words with the stop T in the middle.
63
Hear the stop.
64
Then the next sound.
65
Outlast.
66
partner Shut down.
67
When do you make a stop T?
68
Most Americans turn a T into a stop T in two cases: when the next sound is a consonant, like in 'shutdown' or 'fitness'.
69
Also at the end of a thought group or sentence.
70
For example, he's late.
71
Late not 'lay'.
72
He's late.
73
We also make a T a stop T at the end of the word when the next word begins with a consonant, like in the phrase, not now.
74
Not now.
75
That abrupt stop, that's the stop T.
76
Not now.
77
With a stop T, you don't hear 't'.
78
That crisp, true tea that you hear in, for example, attain.
79
Attain.
80
A true T has its place, but not in the words we'll study here.
81
Now, you'll hear and see a whole bunch of words up close
82
and in slow motion with a stop T in the middle.
83
Then, there's a section where we're comparing a stop T with a word that's the same but with no T sound, like in fly.
84
Flight.
85
This is going to help you really understand this sound, but nothing is as helpful as repeating out loud.
86
So I really encourage you to do that with both the slow motion and regular paced words.
87

88

コンテキストと背景

この動画では、アメリカ英語の発音における「ストップT」という重要な子音音を完璧にする方法が説明されています。この音は、実際には音ではなく、空気が止まることに関連しています。アメリカ英語では滑らかな発音が重視されるため、ストップTは他の音と異なる独特の特徴を持っています。この知識を活かすことで、より自然な発音へと近づけることができます。

日常コミュニケーションのためのトップ5フレーズ

  • Outdoors(アウトドア)
  • Fly(フライ)
  • Flight(フライト)
  • Sue(スー)
  • DAY J(デイ・ジェイ)

これらのフレーズを使って、英語でのコミュニケーションをスムーズに行うことができます。特に「アウトドア」の発音におけるストップTは、他のフレーズとの違いを意識する良い練習になります。

ステップバイステップのシャドーイングガイド

動画の中で取り上げられたストップTの発音を習得するためには、以下のステップに従って練習しましょう。

  1. 音声を聴く: 動画を再生し、ストップTの部分に注目しましょう。特に「アウトドア」や「フライト」の発音に耳を傾けます。
  2. 真似する: スローモーションで聴き、発音がどのように行われているかを確認しながら声に出してみましょう。この過程が、英語の発音を良くするのに役立ちます。
  3. 自分の声を録音: 自分の発音を録音し、動画の音声と比較してみてください。どの部分が異なるかを確認することが大切です。
  4. 反復練習: 特に難しかった部分を何度も繰り返し練習し、自然な発音を目指しましょう。
  5. シャドーイングを行う: 最後に、英語シャドーイングを実践します。動画の音声と一緒に発音することで、リズムやイントネーションをマスターできるでしょう。

これらのステップを踏むことによって、アメリカ英語特有のストップTをマスターし、自信を持って日常会話を楽しむことができるようになるでしょう。shadow speechとしてのシャドーイングや、shadowspeakを実践しながら、発音の向上を目指しましょう。

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。
