レッスンを作成中...
1
Hello!
2
Welcome to English for Everyone.
3
Today we're talking about the word at.
4
Did you know the word at is never pronounced at?
5
We pronounce it four different ways depending where it is in the sentence.
6
We're going to talk about that today.
7
The first pronunciation of at is eh, eh.
8
The a sound is more closed and lazy.
9
The T is not but a stop T where you put your tongue up and you stop.
10
You stop the air.
11
You don't release T.
12
Look at that.
13
Look at that.
14
We pronounce the word at when it is before a consonant.
15
M is a consonant, so we pronounce it at me.
16
Look at me.
17
Look at me.
18
It.
19
Look at me.
20
Example.
21
At the store is not pronounced.
22
At is pronounced at the store.
23
At the store.
24
Because at is not stressed.
25
And because it's before a consonant.
26
Where is she?
27
She's at the store.
28
She's at the store.
29
Let's practice.
30
Where is Sophia?
31
She's at the store.
32
Where is Sophia?
33
Very good.
34
Example. At work.
35
Pronunciation. At work.
36
W is a consonant. At work.
37
Where is Dennis?
38
He's at work.
39
He's at work.
40
Where's Dennis?
41
He's at work.
42
Where's Dennis?
43
Very good.
44
Example, at school.
45
Pronunciation, at school.
46
Where are the kids?
47
They're at school.
48
Link the words.
49
They're at school.
50
Where are the kids?
51
They're at school.
52
Where are the kids?
53
They're at school.
54
Where are the kids?
55
Very good.
56
The second important pronunciation is here.
57
We see the word at before a vowel.
58
Before a vowel, the T changes to a flap D sound.
59
The a is not open, it's closed at about seven.
60
I wake up at about seven o'clock.
61
What time do you wake up?
62
Very good.
63
What time do you wake up?
64
I wake up at about seven.
65
What time do you wake up.
66
Very good.
67
Example.
68
At a restaurant.
69
Pronounced at a restaurant.
70
At a restaurant.
71
She works at a restaurant.
72
Where does she work?
73
She works at a restaurant.
74
Where does she work?
75
Very good.
76
Here we have two possible pronunciations.
77
His.
78
Sometimes we stress the word his if it's important information.
79
Because we have the consonant sound, we pronounce at, at, with a stop t, at, at his house.
80
Where is she?
81
She's at his house.
82
Where's the party?
83
It's at his house.
84
Another pronunciation, sometimes his is not stressed because it's not important information.
85
For example, what are they doing?
86
They're doing homework at his house.
87
At his house.
88
Here the T changes to a D because the H is silent because it's not stressed.
89
It's not important information.
90
Pronunciation, at his, at his.
91
What are they doing?
92
They're doing homework at his house. At his.
93
They're doing homework at his house.
94
Where's Sophia?
95
She's at his house.
96
And what are they doing?
97
They're doing homework at his house.
98
Where's Sophia?
99
And what are they doing?
100
Very good.
101
Again, we have the same situation. For him and her.
102
If it's important information, we say at her.
103
Pronounce the her because it's stressed.
104
At her house.
105
We're having a party at her house.
106
But if it's not important information, you will hear at her, at her, at her.
107
They're watching a movie at her house.
108
They're watching a movie at her house.
109
At her, at her house.
110
This pronunciation is used at her house when this is the important information, where is he?
111
He's at her house.
112
But if the important information is what they're doing, they're watching a movie, they're watching TV, at her house is not the important information.
113
So they're watching TV at her house.
114
Where are the boys?
115
They're at her house.
116
What are they doing?
117
They're watching TV at her house. Where are the boys?
118
And what are they doing?
119
Very good.
120
We have two pronunciations.
121
Here, we stress the person, him.
122
We pronounce the H.
123
So the T is a stop T.
124
At, at, at, at.
125
Look at him.
126
Look at him.
127
Look at him.
128
Another pronunciation.
129
If you don't stress him, the H is silent.
130
So the T changes to a D because you have two vowels.
131
A fast D.
132
Look at him.
133
Look at him go.
134
We have the same pronunciation for her.
135
If you stress her, you have a stop T at her.
136
Look at her.
137
If we don't stress her, then the T changes to a D.
138
edder edder the H is silent edder edder edder look at
139
her look at her look at her go look at her
140
go we have another pronunciation of at here we have at at the end of a question
141
if you have at at the end of a question
142
or sentence then you pronounce it at it's more open ah you have a stop T, at.
143
We don't say at, stop T, at.
144
So, what store is she at? At.
145
What store is she at?
146
Make a question with at.
147
What store is she at?
148
She's at Old Navy.
149
Make a question with at.
150
She's at Old Navy.
151
He's looking at something in the tree.
152
Make a question with at.
153
What is he looking at?
154
He's looking at the birds.
155
Make a question with at.
156
He's looking at the birds.
157
Another pronunciation of at.
158
If you have at before the letter y,
159
the pronunciation at yi at yi changes with the ch sound like chicken at ch, at ch, at ch.
160
Look at your room.
161
Look at your room.
162
It's such a mess.
163
So we have two pronunciations.
164
When you have the letter Y, because Y is a consonant, you can do a stop T.
165
Look at, look at, look at your room.
166
Look at your room.
167
Or sometimes with the Y, it changes to ch.
168
look at ch look at your room look at your room
169
so remember the pronunciation of at is never at the most common two are at at before consonant at at at
170
look at the picture at look at the picture and the other common one is at with a vowel.
171
I work at a school.
172
I work at a school.
173
But also remember before a Y sometimes you hear a ch sound.
174
Look at your room.
175
It's such a mess.
176
And we have at.
177
It's more open.
178
But you have to stop T. At.
179
What are you looking at?
180
At the end pronounce at.
181
What are you looking at?
182

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。
