1
Today you're going to learn about how to sound like a native speaker and get rid of your accent.
2
But I have to make this remark first.
3
It's actually impossible to get rid of your accent completely,
4
as a native speaker will always be able to tell the difference.
5
But you can do your best in order to sound as native as possible.
6
I first got interested in English as a teenager,
7
and at that point of my life I was actively listening to Hollywood and Dad.
8
And at some point I just went on the internet,
9
looked up their songs, the lyrics and the translation to that.
10
And I also recommend doing that
11
because this way you can learn a lot of swear words
12
and also a lot of real colloquial vocabulary that you normally do not find in the textbooks.
13
Right, but basically just sing along, right?
14
That's the first tip.
15
It sounds easy, but you will see how quickly you might get out of breath.
16
And that doesn't only have something to do with the fact
17
that you're not really a singer maybe you're not right
18
but also with the fact that you're singing in in a foreign language right
19
and when you speak a foreign language the times
20
when you have to pause when you have to inhale
21
or exhale they're different right compared to your native language
22
so um if you don't listen to music
23
that has a lot of lyrics in it or
24
that is rather slow right find i actually recommend you to explore
25
and like find something that is more energetic
26
because it will make you keep up with the tempo and it can help you with your fluency as well.
27
This can sound very trivial to many people but these many people also tend to ignore it.
28
I recommend focusing on pronunciation from the very beginning of your learning journey
29
because this way you can ensure that you don't have to at some point,
30
right, you don't have to go back and relearn it or learn it again or start learning it.
31
I know if you're a you might think something like well
32
but I have to speak well right I have to focus
33
on my grammar I have to focus on my vocabulary because
34
and I understand that right you want to be understood you want to understand the other person speaking
35
but at the same time
36
if you want the other person to understand you just as
37
well as you understand them you should maybe pay attention to your pronunciation because sometimes it does matter a lot, right?
38
And now what is your pronunciation?
39
Your pronunciation is how your mouth organs work, right?
40
And now depending on what your native language is,
41
they will work differently compared to the language you're learning.
42
Now if I manage to convince you to improve your pronunciation,
43
the first thing I recommend you to do is to focus on the articulation of native speakers.
44
Whenever watching a video on YouTube,
45
try to pay attention to how a native speaker is actually speaking,
46
and by that I mean how they articulate Because it is exactly Their tongue positioning.
47
It is exactly their lip positioning.
48
It is exactly how wide you open your mouth or something What creates an accent?
49
Or helps you to get rid of it,
50
right now depending on what your native language is
51
you will see that it might be rather easier
52
or rather more difficult for you to actually imitate what the other person is saying
53
or imitate how the other person is speaking
54
because our mouth organs are actually built differently i mean differently compared to the
55
speakers of a foreign language
56
um and now mouth organs usually consist of muscles
57
and you can train your muscles first by imitating and then by actually actually practicing
58
the way you can practice is also
59
that you can find some tongue twisters right so
60
if you think your accent is actually okay and or there are just a couple of sounds that you can
61
you want to focus on, right?
62
You can always find a tongue twister for that and just practice it.
63
Now that you know that accent training depends a lot on how well trained your mouth organs are,
64
you actually have to train them.
65
You should also know that in the beginning it will not always be easy.
66
If you're actually starting to practice your pronunciation,
67
to practice accent training, you might notice that your mouth organs actually hurt, right?
68
That your vocal cords are getting tired, that your jaw hurts.
69
Why?
70
Because you've been speaking your native language for your whole life, right?
71
You are used to that.
72
Your mouth organs are used to that.
73
And now you're doing something new.
74
And this is stressful for your body.
75
But none of this helps as much as shadowing,
76
because shadowing focuses specifically on stress patterns,
77
on intonation, on the rhythm,
78
as you mimic the speaker in real time, right?
79
And once you start doing that,
80
you will see how the speaker's voice either rises or falls, right?
81
How the speaker emphasizes words to convey some meaning or maybe just because it is like that in the language, right?
82
So it is quite complicated to do,
83
not gonna lie, but this technique is actually actively used when learning or practicing interpreting,
84
but you can also apply it in language learning.
85
So if you want to learn more about what it actually is and how to do it properly,
86
you can watch my next video.
87
Because I swear that I could actually take a little more to work on the Monday night.
88
Maybe before it it came up.
89
Maybe people never scored!

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由
このビデオは、英語を母国語とする人のように話すためのヒントを与えてくれます。特に、英語シャドーイングを通じて、発音やイントネーションをより自然なものへと近づけることが可能です。英語を流暢に話すためには、単に文法や語彙を学ぶだけでなく、口の動かし方や身体の使い方にも注意を払う必要があります。母国語のアクセントを軽減したい場合、このビデオは非常に有用です。自然な英語をどのように模倣するかを学ぶことで、自信を持って会話を楽しむことができるでしょう。
文法と表現の文脈
ビデオ内で使用されている重要な文法構造や表現は、英語学習者にとって非常に役立ちます。以下にいくつかのポイントを挙げます：
- 「リモートでの発音練習」: 発音の練習をするときは、リモートでネイティブスピーカーの発音を聞くことが重要です。このフレーズは、リスニングと発音を絡めて学ぶことの大切さを示しています。
- 「自分の口の動きを観察する」: 口の動きや舌の位置を観察することは、効果的な発音への第一歩です。この点は、英語スピーキング練習で強調されるべきです。
- 「歌に合わせて練習する」: 歌に合わせて発音を練習することで、自然なリズムとイントネーションを身につけることができます。
一般的な発音トラップ
英語学習者がしばしばつまずく発音の難しい単語やアクセントについても触れましょう。いくつかの具体例を挙げます：
- 母国語との音の違い: 英語と母国語との発音の違いは、特に「r」や「l」の音に顕著です。
- 英語のストレスト音: 単語ごとのストレス（強調音）が異なるため、同じ単語でも文脈によって発音が変化することがあります。
- 短縮形やスラング: ネイティブが使用する短縮形やスラングは、文法的には正しくない場合も多いですが、自然な会話には不可欠です。
これらのポイントを意識しながら、shadowspeaksを活用して、shadow speakを行うことで、よりリスニング能力が向上します。英語シャドーイングを通じて、より効果的なスピーキングのスキルを習得しましょう。
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。
