Today, let's look at the connected sounds in a short excerpt
4
from a meeting at a tech company where somebody is talking about fixing a problem.
5
Let's take a look.
6
I just wanted to update everyone.
7
I just wanted.
8
So here, just wanted, that T gets dropped.
9
Just wanted.
10
I just wanted.
11
Now here, wanted, the T in the middle of wanted gets completely removed too.
12
wanted wanted to update and this is interesting
13
because we could say to update with a wuh sound in the middle
14
or we could just relax speak quickly
15
and say to update to update I just wanted to update
16
I just wanted to update everyone update everyone update everyone that's a very light T at the end
17
and it connects to the e in every.
18
I just wanted to update everyone about the website issues people were reporting. About the. About the.
19
That t at the end of about gets connected to the the in the. About the.
20
About the website issues.
21
Website issues.
22
Now here there's a tap t.
23
Website issues.
24
Website issues.
25
Website issues.
26
Website issues.
27
People were reporting.
28
People were.
29
Now that L sound before a W sound gets reduced.
30
People were.
31
It's not a very strong people were.
32
There's not a strong L there.
33
People were reporting.
34
Now we have two r sounds right next to each other. Were reporting.
35
And they just link together.
36
People were reporting.
37
About the website issue is people were reporting.
38
We found the bug yesterday.
39
We found the, found the, the D and TH connect together.
40
Found the, found the bug yesterday.
41
G and Y.
42
It doesn't make a new sound, but you can hear it kind of connects.
43
G, yesterday, found the bug yesterday.
44
G, yesterday, we found the bug yesterday.
45
And pushed out a fix.
46
And pushed, that D in and gets removed.
47
and pushed and pushed out a fix.
48
Pushed out a fix.
49
The D and the OW sound connect together, and the T and the UH sound connect together.
50
Pushed out a fix.
51
The D and the OW sound connect together and the T and the UH sound connect together.
52
Pushed out a fix.
53
Pushed out a fix early this morning.
54
Pushed out a fix early this morning.
55
So here this gets reduced very heavily.
56
Early this, this, this, the vowel and the the sound both get reduced.
57
They're spoken very quickly without a really full sound.
58
This, this, early this morning.
59
It should have only affected.
60
It should have.
61
So here, it turns into it.
62
It should.
63
It should.
64
It's a glottal stop instead of a T in it.
65
It should have only.
66
Now here, have, should have turns into should've.
67
It should have only affected a handful of users.
68
Handful.
69
That D in handful is either really, really light or not there at all.
70
Handful.
71
Handful.
72
Both are okay, with or without the D.
73
A handful of users.
74
And here, of gets reduced.
75
You could say handful of users, handful of users, or handful of users.
76
Both are okay.
77
We can have a v sound or nothing.
78
Handful of users.
79
Both are okay.
80
Handful of users running older browsers.
81
We'll keep an eye out.
82
We'll keep an eye out.
83
That will turns into will.
84
The L at the end of will gets reduced and it's not really a full L sound.
85
It's more like a vowel.
86
Will, will keep.
87
Now, this reduction only works in fast speech.
88
You've got to say the L if you're speaking slowly and clearly.
89
Will keep, will keep an eye out.
90
Or, will keep, will keep an eye out.
91
Will keep an eye out for any new bug reports.
92
Now, two things here.
93
With for, we turn for into fur.
94
Fur, like there's no vowel at all.
95
and then out before an F, before any consonant sound, turns into out with a glottal stop.
96
Out for any.
97
Out for any.
98
We'll keep an eye out for any new bug reports.
99
I just wanted to update everyone about the website issues people were reporting.
100
We found the bug yesterday and pushed out a fix early this morning.
101
It should have only affected a handful of users running older browsers.
102
We'll keep an eye out for any new bug reports.
이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유
이 비디오에서는 미국 기술 회사의 회의에서 발생하는 대화를 통해 비즈니스 영어를 학습할 수 있습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 실제 상황에서 사용되는 언어를 접하게 되며, 이를 통해 말하기 능력을 크게 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 일상 대화와 비즈니스 소통에서 자주 등장하는 표현을 익히면 자신감을 가지고 대화에 임할 수 있습니다.
문맥 속의 문법 및 표현
이 비디오에서는 몇 가지 중요한 문법 구조와 표현들이 사용됩니다:
- Just wanted to update: 이 표현은 누군가에게 정보를 전달하고자 할 때 자주 사용됩니다. 자연스럽게 연결된 소리를 통해 유창함을 연습할 수 있습니다.
- About the website issues: 'About'와 'the'가 연결되는 발음은 이 문장에서 다소 어려울 수 있습니다. 이 점을 주의해 연습해 보세요.
- We found the bug yesterday: 시간 표현('yesterday')과 소식 전달의 구조가 결합된 이 문장은 자연스러운 대화의 예시로, 실전에서 유용합니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
비디오에서 특히 주의해야 할 발음 트랩이 있습니다. 예를 들어:
- Wanted: T 소리가 종종 생략되므로 'wanted'를 빠르게 말할 때 발음이 흐릿해질 수 있습니다. 이 부분을 연습하여 자연스러운 흐름을 만드는 것이 중요합니다.
- Website issues: 'website'와 'issues'의 연결에서 발생하는 Tap T 발음에도 유의해야 합니다.
- People were reporting: 'people'의 L 소리와 'were'의 연결이 부드럽게 이루어지지 않으면 문장이 어색하게 들릴 수 있습니다.
이 비디오를 통해 들은 내용을 shadow speak하고, 나만의 발음으로 그 과정을 반복하여 shadowspeak의 효과를 경험해 보세요. 자신의 목소리로 다듬어가는 과정은 매우 유익하며, 실전 영어 회화에서 더 나은 성과를 가져다줍니다.
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.
