1
I was saying, like, the Minister of Magic, he smells like fish.
2
I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science or exact art that is British pronunciation.
3
However, for those select few who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch Americans with your cute British accent.
4
Master the schwa and even put a glottal stop in your Ts So do pay attention or you may risk sounding like a muggle.
5
Or worse, an American.
6
Bellatrix will demonstrate the first spell of connected speech.
7
“ASSIMILARE!” Assimilation is an essential spell for perfect pronunciation.
8
It involves changing one sound to sound more similar to the next sound, We smooth those sounds so they're more similar to each other.
9
And that makes it sound better.
10
For example, the words “COULD + YOU” are separated with a D and a Y sound, but with connected speech, we combine those into a /dz/ sound.
11
Say this with me class. That includes you.
12
Could you. Could you.
13
Could you Could you.
14
Fine. Did I do it right?
15
I'm scared.
16
Could you pass me the potion?
17
How miss Melon would you pronounce this with perfect British pronunciation?
18
Could you pass me the potion?
19
Yes. Good. Now you try.
20
Could you pass me the potion?
21
Yes that's fine.
22
Did you hear that They're letting muggles in Hogwarts this year.
23
Stupid Muggles!
24
Did you also notice I said “DiDZou” you and not, did ...you?
25
“This year” the S and Y combine into A “SH” sound. ThiSHear.
26
This year. You!What's your name?
27
Becky Nice to meet you.
28
Nice to meet you.
29
When one word finishes in a T sound and the next word begins with a Y sound, we connect them with a “CH” sound Meet you, Meet you.
30
Say it with me. Meet you. Nice to meet you.
31
That's good.
32
and when one word ends in an “N” sound and the next word begins with a B, W, P, or M sound For example, one muggle the ‘N’ in “One” becomes ‘M’ to join muggle, Why?
33
Because it flows together and it makes you sound more fluent and less like a robot.
34
One muggle Same with in between.
35
No, in between.
36
Ms.. Melon, you don't have any friends.
37
Who are you texting?
38
At the end of each unit, you will be tested.
39
So say these sentences perfectly.
40
Would you turn to page 394?
41
What's your excuse, Mr.
42
Potter? I want you to sit down.
43
Moving on. Dobby, go away.
44
Actually, that's a good one.
45
When you want to connect, go away.
46
We intrude a W sound in the middle.
47
Go away, And that’s the next spell. Bella.
48
“INTRUSIO!” The Intrusion spell links two words together by adding an extra sound in the middle.
49
Those sounds are “W”, “R”, and “Y” When one word ends in a vowel sound like your mouth naturally makes the shape o.
50
So if the next word begins with a vowel sound like it sounds better to connect them with a W sound, goWaway.
51
I know a wizard and when a word finishes within a And the next word has a vowel sound connected with the sound.
52
Me and you.
53
Me and you.
54
I also hate Harry Potter.
55
You understand? Yes.
56
there are of course other examples in British English.
57
We don't pronounce the “R”like Americans do, and therefore replace the “R” sound at the end of words like Potter with a simple schwa potter.
58
however, if the next word begins with a vowel sound, we do pronounce the RA, it intrudes into the two words You! Say this!
59
Faster! Harry Potter is over at Hagrid's Hut!
60
Good. Using all three linking sounds, How would you say this?
61
Sorry. Am I boring you?
62
Next one, please, Bella.
63
“CATENATE!” Catenation Catenation is when the final consonant sound of one word actually joins the next word if it begins with a vowel sound.
64
Dark arts, say with me dark arts The same with Death Eater.
65
No Death Theater.
66
Death Eater.
67
Oh, you think life isn't fair?
68
No. You think life isn't fair.
69
Life isn't fair.
70
And finally, elation “ELISIO!” Elision is when a word finishes with a consonant sound like it to look and the next word begins with a consonant sound that T, D, or K will be removed or “Elided”, particularly in a consonant cluster.
71
Only those severely lacking of you will not know what a constant cluster is.
72
So let me give you some examples.
73
the first in Christmas.
74
Elide that “T”. Chris mas The “SKT”in asked You may elide the K Only the brilliant of you will remember earlier in our assimilation unit that we could make next year.
75
Some like next year.
76
But with elision you also have the option to elide that sound “Nex year” in fact, any sound, any past tense verb (With a T sound ending!) when the next word starts with a consonant sound, I helped them”No!” I help them.
77
I help them just remove the sound altogether.
78
fine. It's time for your final test to see if you truly are Hogwarts material.
79
Complete this test by saying out loud for everyone to hear these sentences.
80
If your pronunciation matches mine, you may attend Hogwarts next year.
81
If not, Good luck.
82
Yes, it was rather good Sorry, Let me know how you did in the comments.
83
And I hope to see you next year.
84

93

94

95

96

112
That will have to do.
113
Now. You? Yeah, It's okay.
114
Assimilation is a natural part of English.
115
So though you may use spells now to improve your English fluency later, it should just come naturally.
116
No shoes, Notice I didn't say nice shoes.
117

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。
