If you would like to improve your accent when you're speaking English,

in this video, I'm going to give you a very important tip that will definitely transform your accent.

You cannot neglect the melody of English.

Even if you're pronouncing all of the individual words and the consonant and the vowel sounds correctly,

but you're not paying attention to the rhythm and the melody of your words,

your speech is going to sound choppy and unnatural.

And you even might sound less fluent.

In this video, I will teach you the secret to having a better accent and sounding more like a native speaker.

I will also teach you some common everyday expressions that native speakers use.

And I will teach you how to say them with the perfect American accent.

And even if you prefer a British accent,

this video will also help you.

One of the fastest ways to reduce your foreign accent is for you to focus on these three things,

word stress, word reduction, and connecting words,

not pausing between thought groups.

In this lesson, we will focus on word reduction.

This is such an important topic,

and it's not commonly taught in English classes.

Maybe you've already thought about word stress,

or maybe you've watched lessons on word stress,

but have you thought about word reduction?

That That topic is just as important as word stress for having a natural sounding and a native sounding flow.

Native speakers don't pronounce every word clearly and fully.

If you don't reduce some words in your sentences,

your speech will sound choppy and robotic.

You will speak like this with each word stressed the same way.

Please pass the salt and pepper.

Hello, I'm Mike.

I am a robot.

I am here to serve you.

How can I help you?

When we reduce words, the vowel sounds almost disappear.

They become the schwa sound.

It's the uh sound.

And the consonants are also sometimes eliminated.

Let's look at this pronoun.

You have probably learned that the pronunciation is our.

But let's listen to how native speakers are saying our house,

our children, and our school.

Listen carefully.

And so we had tons of people over to our house.

There's hospice at our house happen to our house.

We have to talk to our children about it.

The sort of planet we're going to leave behind for our children and grandchildren.

But to really ingrain within our school.

Notice that the O and the U are reduced.

They're not saying ow, they're saying uh.

It becomes a schwa sound.

Our house.

This is our house.

Let's practice that together.

Repeat after me.

This is our house us.

Do you like our new car?

You say it.

They're our friends.

So, they are our friends sounds very similar to they're our friends.

Remember, in natural sounding speech,

pronouns are reduced, and they're connected to the words around them.

For special emphasis, we make an exception,

and we don't reduce the pronoun.

This is ours.

It's not yours.

It's ours.

But otherwise,

we would simply say this is our house this is our

car let's talk about the two ways to pronounce the conjunction

and in the strong form it's pronounced as and

but it's usually not pronounced that way in most situations you can pronounce it

that way only in these cases when you need to speak especially slowly

or when you're pausing to think for example i would like to order a sandwich and a salad.

Or when you want to emphasize the fact that there's another thing.

For example, you had pasta and pizza?

You speak Italian and Japanese?

Otherwise we say and in its weak form and it sounds like this.

The A becomes a schwa sound and the D disappears.

Let's practice.

Black and white.

We wouldn't say black and white.

and eggs.

Bacon and eggs.

Connect all of those three words and say them as one.

Don't pause.

Let's say that again.

Bacon and eggs.

These words are one unit and they belong together.

Now it's your turn.

How would you say these words?

You say them.

In-N-Out.

I went to In-N-Out.

Have you ever gone to In-N-Out Burgers in California?

It's a really popular place.

How would we say this?

You say it.

Again and again.

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

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。
