how to sound more natural next time

that we speak in american english well one thing

you may be wanting to pay attention to is the length of your thought groups

if you don't know what thought groups are thought groups are groups of words

that go together before your next group of words

and one of the things i commonly see among my students is

that we are consistently using shorter thought groups and

that is not enabling us to achieve the most natural sound in all situations

we're going to be talking more about thought groups

when we give feedback to this audio file right here by the way

i try my best to be in touch with you by

the youtube good morning good evening good afternoon guys welcome to the schwa milton

this is your american english pronunciation review show where you can

send files to me to get some feedback for free

there's a link to the telegram group where we do it right in the video description

and in the chat

and to guide you in this process

there is me what's up guys my name is jeff at riser breath

that's one of the four keys you need to sound natural in american english including placement pitch breath

and trying to weaken your constant sounds

or strengthen your foul sounds a quick update before we give feedback for this file is

that this week is the start of our conversation speaking in reading club

which is led by our facilitator shea sanchez she's going to be guiding you in the conversation based exercises

if you are a member of the pocket full american app

so in case you don't know we have an application on your phone

or on your computer that you can access to get daily pronunciation shadowing exercises

and lots of other information that is not strictly available on the channels

if that sounds like something you'd be interested in you want to join the conversation club

which again meets on tuesday

and thursday mornings new york time from 7 to 7 30 a .m you want to get practice with

that and all the other elements

that are on the application to reach your american english pronunciation goals

you can find more information about the app at fluentamerican .com

if you already have the app so definitely try to check out

because shay is excited to speak with you but

when i'm listening to this audio file right here by the way

i try my best to being in touch with you by the youtube okay

there's a little grammar thing i do want to just highlight here

and by the way thanks to everyone who sends files

so this is more or less the the thought groups

that i'm hearing see

if you can hear this chunking as well yourself by the way

I try my best to be in touch with you by the YouTube.

Okay

so that's the chunking I'm hearing quick note at the end instead of by the YouTube

I would say on YouTube try to get in touch with you

on something I try to get with in touch with you on your website okay

I try to get in touch with you on Instagram I try to get in touch with you on YouTube.

So one of the things we see here is

that we basically have these sequences where

that first talk group is three syllables three words by the way

this next thought group is four syllables i try my best the next syllable i'd be in touch with you

so that time we have six

and then we have by the youtube i'm going to change

that to on youtube just to be more grammatical um

so again three syllables there it's more or less three

or four syllables each thought group with the exception of

that one which is fine you can make

that work how do you make it work

if you have shorter thought groups well a couple of real basic concepts you want to have in mind

when you're talking is that

when you change thought group

you want to change the pitch levels are we changing the pitch levels in our original audio by the way

i try my best to be in touch with you by the youtube kind of what's happening here

that's causing this sound less natural is we're just alternating

we start off by the way

i try my best to be we start off low like by the way

then we go hi i try my best then we go down again to be in touch with you

and then we go hi again bye to youtube this is like by the way

so we're just alternating pitches and english in general is not going to try to do

that it's good that we have pitch movement

but i would say try to move further in a single direction

so like you could do like a descending pattern like like by the way

i try my best to be in touch with you on youtube that'd be an example of a descending pattern

there's also ascending patterns like by the way

i try my best to be in touch with you on

youtube that'd be an example of an ascending pattern everything's gradually going up

or you could start off descending a bit

so like maybe starting a little lower it's like by the way

then go high i try my best to be in touch

with you on youtube that'd be an example of starting low then going high

and then descending again whatever pattern

you use just try not to be overly predictable in a

lot of ways formulaic just like high low high low high English doesn't really like

that okay some other things with the thought groups

that are hurting this by the way I try my best to be in touch with you by the YouTube

a lot of our stresses are also falling in very similar

places each time like i try my best stress on try

to be in touch with you middle stress on youtube middle stress okay

so a lot of times what's happening is we have three thought groups in a row

there have stress fall in the middle of the thought group

if we can change some of those stress locations so like like

by the way stress by i try my best it's like by the way i try my best

so notice that's an initial stress then a final stress by the way

i try my best to be in touch with you another final stress on youtube

it's like by the way i try my best to be in touch with you on youtube

that has greater contrast in terms of stresses some of the

stresses are at the start of the thought group some of the stresses are at the end and

that sort of variety can help this to sound more natural

100

too instead of just having all the stresses fall at the same position over and over again.

101

By the way I try my best to be in touch with you by the YouTube.

102

The last thing I will say is

103

that we can also mix up some of these thought group planks

104

and you can do this with any sort of phrase

105

that you want okay this is what we have right now

106

so by the way thought group

107

I try my best thought group to be in touch with you thought group on YouTube what happens for instance

108

if we start short it's like by the way then our next soccer what

109

if we do that as I try my best to be in touch with you

110

a long thought group on YouTube see

111

if you can hear a difference between these two rhythms okay we're going to start off with the original

112

and then we'll try it with a short thought group a long thought group, and a short thought group.

113

See if you can hear a difference.

114

By the way, I try my best to be in touch with you on YouTube.

115

Second one.

116

By the way, I try my best to be in touch with you on YouTube.

117

Do you hear a difference between those?

118

By the way, I try my best to be in touch with you on YouTube.

119

By the way, I try my best to be in touch with you on YouTube to.

120

The second one is going to allow you in general to flow quite a bit more

121

because that second thought group is much, much longer and the stress comes much later.

122

So if you're looking at your own speech and you're feeling like, huh, I feel like I'm really choppy.

123

I feel like I'm talking word, word, word, word, word.

124

I don't think I sound very fluent or fluid when I talk.

125

I'm not using a lot of linking.

126

Well, it could be these factors.

127

It could be that we're just using a lot of short thought groups.

128

It could be that we're using a lot of stresses in similar positions over and over again.

129

That is causing you to not have the sound that you want.

130

So consider taking a sentence that you say

131

and changing where your thought groups are and trying to lengthen instead of having all your thought groups to be short.

132

That may be enough to help you achieve a more natural sound next time that you speak in English.

133

Once again, guys, thank you so much for hanging out with me.

134

A reminder again, if you have the Pocket Flu American app or you're interested in Pocket Flu American app,

135

136

137

138

139

140

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。
