Hi, I am Yeji Kim from Talk To Me in Korean.
2
How are you?
3
Did I just sound natural?
4
Can you pinpoint what made me sound unnatural?
5
Yes, it's the intonation.
6
In this video, let's talk about what intonation is, how to improve your Korean intonation,
7
and lastly, how to find suitable materials for your intonation practice.
8
For those who are new to this channel, we have been teaching Korean online for over 10 years now.

Alright, first and foremost, what is intonation?
11
is 억양 in Korean intonation is the rhythm of your speech.
12
안녕하세요.
13
저는 김예지예요.
14
Some words are more stressed and some words are spoken with less emphasis.
15
그럴 리가 없어요.
16
You raise your tone.
17
알겠습니다.
18
This time it's pretty much monotone.
19
The thing is, native speakers all use similar intonation, if not the same, when they use certain expressions or sentence structures.
20
So when you use the right intonation, you not only sound more natural, but you can also better deliver your message.
21
On the contrary, when you use an awkward intonation, it can make it harder to get your point across, and it can even change the meaning of your sentence.
22
What is more, intonation can complement pronunciation, I mean when it comes to fluency.
23
So, if you think your pronunciation is not good enough, even after a long practice,
24
you can still improve your fluency by working on your intonation.
25
This is why using the right intonation is crucial.
26
And to improve your intonation, just listening to native speakers is not enough.
27
You need to practice.
28
Now let's talk about how to improve your intonation.
29
You can naturally pick up intonation by listening to native speakers and mimicking their speech.
30
But for those who want to practice with more focus on intonation, here's the method.
31
First, listen to the native speaker's speech and pay full attention to their rhythm, their stress, and pitches.
32
Second, replace all the syllables with one random syllable such as 나 or 다.
33
Here's an example.
34
I'll eat and exercise.
35
I'll eat and exercise.
36
I'll eat before I eat.
37
I'll eat before I eat.
38
Really?
39
I didn't know.
40
I didn't know.
41
This way, you can isolate intonation from other elements like pronunciation or the meaning of the sentence.
42
And after you get used to the intonation, bring the syllables back and practice the whole conversation.
43
For your information, this clip is one of our sample dialogues from our essential Korean courses.
44
And you can find it in the courses tab of our website, TalkToMeInKorean.com.
45
And here's a tip that will double the effectiveness of your practice.
46
Before you listen to the native speaker, try saying the sentences yourself first and then compare your tone,
47
pitches, and stress to that of native speakers.
48
That way you can easily identify your intonation errors and fix that.
49
Then how can you find the right materials for your intonation practice?
50
Regardless of your Korean level, I recommend you find videos that include Korean subtitles
51
because it allows you to read the lines yourself before the native speaker speaks, and also you can focus solely on the intonation,
52
not worrying about if you've heard the lines correctly or not.
53
Now for beginners, find short conversations where each line is enunciated.
54
If the video or audio has a slower version, it's even better.
55
And actually, we have courses like that on our website.
56
I'll put the links in the description.
57
As your Korean improves, you can go with longer and more natural conversations.
58
And if you are an advanced learner, you can choose pretty much anything you want, like YouTube videos, K-dramas, or 예능 reality shows,
59
as long as they interest you.
60
And I have a Google extension to introduce you.
61
It's called Speed Control HTML5 Video.
62
With this extension, you can adjust the speed of the video you're watching by 0.1
63
so you can watch any video at the speed that suits your level.
64
Alright, that's all I have for today.
65
Thank you so much for watching the video.
66
Bye!
67

文脈と背景
この動画では、韓国語のイントネーションについての重要性と、それを改善する方法について議論されています。韓国語を母国語とする話者のイントネーションを正しく模倣することは、自然な会話を成立させる上で欠かせません。イントネーションとは、言語のリズムや強調、ピッチのパターンであり、これを駆使することでメッセージをより効果的に伝えることができます。
日常コミュニケーションのためのトップ5フレーズ
- 안녕하세요. 저는 김예지예요.（こんにちは、私はキム・イェジです。）
- 그럴 리가 없어요.（そんなことはありえません。）
- 알겠습니다.（わかりました。）
- 정말요? 몰랐어요.（本当に？知らなかった。）
- 밥 먹고 운동할게요.（ご飯を食べて運動します。）
ステップバイステップシャドーイングガイド
この動画の難易度に立ち向かうために、以下の手順を試してみてください。まずは、シャドーイング（英語シャドーイング）を行うことで、話者のイントネーションを吸収することが重要です。この方法を効果的に行うためには、次のステップを踏んでください。
- 母国語話者のスピーチを聞き、リズム、強調、ピッチに完全に注意を払いましょう。
- すべての音節を「나」や「다」のようなランダムな音節に置き換えます。たとえば、「밥 먹고 운동할게요」を「나 나 나 나」に変更します。
- イントネーションに慣れたら、元の文に戻して全体の会話を練習します。
さらに、効果的な練習方法として、原話者を聞く前に自分でその文を言ってみてください。その後、ネイティブスピーカーの音のトーン、ピッチ、強調と比較すると、自分のイントネーションの間違いを特定しやすくなります。このように、shadowspeaksを活用して、理想的な発音を目指しましょう。
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。
