10
Okay, let's get started with the lesson.
11
I'm going to show you a pair of words which both have the same silent letter.
12
Say the words out loud and try to identify the silent letter.
13
Then listen and repeat after me to check and practice.
14
Here's our first pair.
15
Try it yourself.
16
Listen and repeat after me.
17
Handsome.
18
Wednesday.
19
Now in both of these words, the letter D is silent.
20
It's not handsome or wedness day.
21
Drop the d sound.
22
Handsome.
23
Wednesday.
24
Can you think of any more words with a silent d?
25
Sandwich and handkerchief are two common examples, although some people do say sandwich.
26
I think it's harder to pronounce that way.
27
Another common pronunciation I like is actually with a mmm sound.
28
Sandwich.
29
Okay, our second pair of words.
30
Say them out loud now.
31
Can you spot the silent letter?
32
Okay, listen and repeat.
33
Biscuit, circuit.
34
So both of these words have a silent U.
35
It's not biscuit or circuit.
36
Biscuit, circuit.
37
This silent U confuses my students in other common words like build and builder.
38
So take care with those words too.
39
Okay, pair number three, which letter is silent in both of these words?
40
Read them aloud, see what you think.
41
The letter H is silent.
42
Listen and repeat.
43
Honest, air.
44
We don't say honest or hair, drop the h sound.
45
Can you think of any other words beginning with a silent h?
46
H itself shouldn't have the h sound at the beginning, h.
47
There's also hour, honour and herb.
48
In British English, we say herb.
49
Erb is more North American pronunciation.
50
I say herb.
51
Americans tend to say herb.
52
Now, be careful with your article usage with these silent H words.
53
We need to use an, not a, as they begin with vowel sounds.
54
It was an honest mistake.
55
Give me an hour.
56
There are lots more silent H words in English, but most of them are so common, they usually don't cause confusion.
57
The letters WH in what, where, when, and why, for example, are just pronounced with a W sound.
58
My students do sometimes get confused by the pronunciation of the letters CH in some of these words though.
59
Look at these four words.
60
How are the letters CH pronounced in each one?
61
Well, in the first word, chaos, the letters CH make a K sound.
62
like in school, scheme, mechanic, and chemistry.
63
Notice it's not chemistry, it's chemistry.
64
Now in chore, the CH is pronounced ch, like in church and choose.
65
But the CH in chef is pronounced sh,
66
but in yacht, the letter CH are silent.
67
Don't get caught out by those sneaky silent letters.
68
Time for pair number four.
69
Read these aloud.
70
Now, you won't believe the number of times I've heard students say answer and sward, but these pronunciations are not correct.
71
Never pronounce the letter W in these words.
72
Instead, say answer, sward.
73
You might have already noticed that the letter W is silent when written with R at the beginning of a word,
74
like in right, wrist, wrinkle, and wrong.
75
Take care with those silent Ws.
76
Similarly, the letter K is silent when it appears with the letter N at the beginning of a word.
77
But you knew that, right?
78
Can you think of any other examples?
79
Well, we've got words like knife,
80
knuckle, knight, knee, knit, and knot,
81
to name but a few.
82
Okay, are you ready for our fifth pair?
83
Here it is.
84
Which letter is silent in both of these words?
85
Scissors, muscle.
86
The letter C isn't pronounced in either of these words.
87
I hear skizzes and muskles all the time.
88
Drop the C and say scissors, muscles instead.
89
The letter C is silent in a lot of words with the letters SC together.
90
Can you think of any more examples?
91
Well, Take care with the words scent,
92
scenario, fascinate and ascent as they all have a silent C.
93
Now, can you spot the silent letters in pair number six?
94
Both of these words contain a silent F.
95
Just joking, I'm just making sure you're paying attention.
96
It's the L that is silent.
97
I hear a lot of students trying to pronounce the L.
98
half, calf.
99
Forget the all sound and just make the long R vowel sound instead.
100
Half, calf.
101
Much easier.
102
Okay, pair number seven, say these words out loud.
103
The letter S is silent in both of these words.
104
I'll is pronounced the same as the contraction of I will and is one syllable.
105
Isle.
106
And it's not Island, it's Island.
107
Okay, time for our penultimate pair.
108
Read them aloud.
109
Which letter is silent?
110
That's right, we never pronounce the letter P at the beginning of words with S.
111
Psychology.
112
Psychic.
113
Can you think of any more words like this?
114
Well, we've We've got psalm, pseudonym, and psychedelic.
115
These are all words of Greek origin.
116
Oh, and take care with these silent P words my students always mispronounce.
117
We have cupboard and receipt.
118
I know it's so tempting to say receipt.
119
Receipt.
120
Cupboard receipt.
121
Okay, time for our final pair.
122
Read these words out loud and try to identify the silent letter.
123
Now, if you said musicale or basically with a or a, try again musically, basically.
124
That's right, with some adverbs ending c-a-l-l-y, the a is silent.
125
Some speakers will pronounce it as a soft schwa sound musically, basically.
126
This is less common.
127
Most speakers don't pronounce the letter a at all and just say musically, basically, both with just three syllables.
128
Right, we've got just enough time for a quick shadowing task
129
to help you remember some of the words with silent letters that we've covered today.
130
I'll mark the silent letters on screen to help you.
131
Shadow me if you can, or listen, pause, and then repeat.
132
You ready?
133
The handsome builder is coming to put up the kitchen cupboards at half five this Wednesday.
134
He's also going to fit an island where I can keep my knives,
135
scissors, receipts, sandwich and biscuit tins and basically all of my bits and pieces.
136
Honestly, it's the best case scenario as I haven't got the muscle to do it myself.
137
How did you find that?
138
Rewind and speak along with me again to practice further.
139
Right, that brings us to the end of today's video.
140
Were there any silent letters that surprised you?
141

실생활에서 자주 틀리는 발음, 알고 계셨나요?

영어 회화를 할 때 가끔 "내 발음이 정확할까?"라는 의문이 들죠. 특히 조용한 철자(silent letter)가 있는 단어는 틀리기 쉽습니다. 이번 비디오에서는 자주 틀리는 발음을 교정하고, 자연스러운 브리티시 액센트를 익히는 방법을 알려줍니다. 실제로 "handsome"을 "핸드섬"이라고 발음하거나 "Wednesday"를 "웬즈데이"라고 하는 경우가 많죠. 하지만 이 단어들의 'd'는 조용한 철자로 발음하지 않아야 합니다. 이처럼 일상에서 자주 사용하는 단어의 발음을 정확히 하면, 의사소통이 훨씬 원활해집니다.

외우면 바로 쓸 수 있는 유용한 표현들

  • Silent letter: 조용한 철자 (발음하지 않는 철자)
  • British accent: 브리티시 액센트
  • Daily practice routines: 매일 연습 루틴
  • Clear and natural: 명확하고 자연스러운
  • Common examples: 흔한 예시

이 표현들은 발음 교정뿐만 아니라 영어 학습 전반에서 자주 사용됩니다. "Silent letter"를 이해하면 단어의 구조를 더 잘 파악할 수 있고, "daily practice routines"를 만들면 발음 실력이 빠르게 향상됩니다.

지금 바로 할 수 있는 쉐도잉 챌린지!

영어 쉐도잉(shadow speech)은 발음과 리듬을 연습하는 가장 효과적인 방법 중 하나입니다. 이번 챌린지에서는 비디오에서 소개된 단어를 사용해 봅시다. 다음 단계를 따라 하세요:

  1. 비디오에서 "handsome", "Wednesday", "biscuit", "circuit", "honest"를 다시 들어보세요.
  2. 화자의 발음을 따라 즉시 반복해 보세요. (1초 차이로 따라하기)
  3. 매 단어를 5번 이상 연습하고, 녹음해서 자신의 발음과 비교해 보세요.

이 과정을 통해 "shadow speak" 기술을 연마하면, 자연스러운 발음을 익힐 수 있습니다. 특히 브리티시 액센트의 경우 리듬과 강세가 중요하니, 화자의 말투를 잘 관찰하면서 연습하세요. 매일 10분씩坚持하다면, 며칠 안에 분명한 변화를 느낄 수 있을 겁니다!

영어 회화 연습은 꾸준함이 중요합니다. 오늘도 작은 단계를 밟아 나가세요. 다음에는 더 많은 실용적인 발음 팁을 소개할 예정이니, 기대해 주세요!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
