1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today I'd like to talk about the connected readings in a passage I wrote about a trip
4
that I took to a forest on an island.
5
Let's take a look.
6
I was quickly and completely bewitched by the incredible beauty of the forests.
7
I was, was, we say was very quickly here
8
because it's the beginning of the sentence and the stress is on quickly bewitched.
9
I was quickly and completely bewitched by the incredible beauty of the forests.
10
And come, and completely.
11
In this whole passage, you'll see that and loosens its de at the end of the word.
12
And completely, and completely, and completely bewitched by the incredible.
13
The incredible, we kind of add a y between the and incredible.
14
The incredible beauty of the forests.
15
The air was perfectly crisp.
16
The air, we add a ya here as well, the air was perfectly crisp.
17
Now, perfectly has a t in it when it's written out, and if you're speaking very carefully, you would pronounce the t perfectly.
18
But in rapid speech, that turns into perfectly.
19
There's no t.
20
Perfectly.
21
The air was perfectly crisp.
22
The grass was astonishingly green.
23
Was a, was astonishingly.
24
was astonishingly connect those two words together.
25
And when I, and when I, again, that d disappears, and when I stopped walking,
26
I could just hear trees and wind.
27
I could just, that d at the end of could connects to the j at the beginning of just.
28
Could just, You don't need to separate them, so you don't need to say could just.
29
I could just hear.
30
That sounds a little bit too artificial.
31
It's better to say I could just.
32
I could just hear trees and wind.
33
And again, we drop the d at the end of and. And wind.
34
The main path branched off into smaller paths.
35
Branched off.
36
Connect the d to the a in off.
37
branched off into smaller paths.
38
Into.
39
Not into, but into.
40
Into smaller paths.
41
And I saw, and I saw dozens of huge orb wavers in their webs.
42
In their, in their webs.
43
In there, in there.
44
When I say the nuh in in, it connects to the the, so my tongue stays between my teeth.
45
In there, in their webs.
46
Evidence that the larger part of the tourists had stopped tramping about for the season. That the...
47
Here the T at the end of that turns into a glottal stop, and we reduce the vowel in that.
48
It turns into that...
49
That the larger part of the tourists...
50
Part of the...
51
The T in part turns into a tap.
52
Part of the...
53
Part of the... of the.
54
And the F in of disappears.
55
Part of the.
56
Part of the tourists.
57
The larger part of the tourists had stopped tramping about. Had stopped.
58
Had gets reduced in its vowel, and the D connects to the S in stopped. Had stopped.
59
Had stopped tramping.
60
Stop tramping.
61
Let D and T connect together.
62
Stop tramping about for the season.
63
Now the T in about turns into a glottal stop.
64
About, about for the season.
65
It doesn't disappear.
66
We don't say about for the season.
67
We say about for the season. About for the season.
68
And for the becomes very small and very short and connects together.
69
For the, for the, for the season.
70
I saw very few people at all except when I was near the beaches. At all.
71
We say those very quickly. At all.
72
Very few people at all.
73
People at all.
74
Except when I was.
75
Except when I.
76
Except.
77
That T at the end of except disappears.
78
We just keep the P.
79
Except when I was near the beaches. When I. When I. When I.
80
Near the beaches.
81
The beaches.
82
Here I'm saying the very quickly and kind of connecting it to the b in beaches.
83
The beaches.
84
Near the beaches. And surely. And surely.
85
Now that D disappears and we connect the N in and to S in surely. And surely.
86
And surely they were only a fraction of those who come at the height of summer. At the. At the. At the.
87
So here at turns into an at glottal stop, at the, at the height of summer.
88
At the height of summer.
89
I was quickly and completely bewitched by the incredible beauty of the forests.
90
The air was perfectly crisp, the grass was astonishingly green, and when I stopped walking I could just hear trees and wind.
91
The main path branched off into smaller paths, and I saw dozens of huge orb weavers in their webs,
92
evidence that the larger part of the tourists had stopped tramping about for the season.
93
I saw very few people at all except when I was near the beaches, and surely they were only a fraction of those who come at the height of summer.
이번 수업에 대해

연습 팁
이번 영상에서는 특히 자연스러운 속도로 진행되므로, 발음을 따라 하는 shadowspeak 연습을 추천합니다. 각 문장을 부드럽게 연결하여 말하는 것이 중요합니다. 예를 들어, "I could just hear"에서 "could"의 마지막 'd' 발음이 생략되므로, "could just"처럼 자연스럽게 연결하여 발음해야 합니다. 또한, "and completely"에서도 'd'가 발음되지 않기 때문에 이를 주의 깊게 연습하세요.
여러 번 반복하며 연습하다 보면, shadow speech가 더욱 자연스러워질 것입니다. 발음 연습을 할 때는 속도를 서서히 높이면서 본인의 음성이 어떻게 변화하는지를 느껴보세요. 최종 목표는 자연스럽고 유창한 영어를 구사하는 것입니다. 이 방식은 IELTS 스피킹에서의 발음을 교정하는 데도 유리하며, 자신감을 높여줍니다.
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.
