1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, let's look at the connected sounds in a short passage that involves using statistics in a work conversation.
4
Let's take a look.
5
We've been doing really well recently.
6
Doing really well recently.
7
I could change this to doing if I wanted to.
8
Personally, I prefer to say ing a little bit more than in in most conversations.
9
But when I speak quickly, or if I'm happy or excited about the thing I'm talking about, maybe I'll say doing instead.
10
We've been doing really well recently.
11
We've been doing really well recently.
12
We've been doing really well recently with the new website content. With the. With the.
13
So here the TH sounds connect together into just one. With the.
14
With the new website content.
15
Website content.
16
So here the T sounds here in website and content turn into glottal stops.
17
Website content.
18
The ending T sounds get completely cut off in my throat website content.
19
Take a look at this.
20
Take a.. so here we'll connect the uh to take and look at this.
21
We connect together.
22
So look at this.
23
The T turns into the TH sound in this.
24
Take a look at this.
25
I use this sentence all the time, so I think it's a useful sentence to practice on its own.
26
Take a look at this.
27
Take a look at this.
28
Two or three months ago, two or three months ago, so two or three, we have OR turning into ER, two or three, two or three months ago.
29
In months, we can take out that TH sound completely.
30
Now it's important to learn this word with the full pronunciation, months, because when you're speaking slowly you have to say the THS.
31
But when we speak quickly we all say months here in the US.
32
Months.
33
Two or three months ago, two or three months ago we were averaging about 200 hits a day.
34
Averaging.
35
So that e, a-v-e-r, right, in averaging we take out that e, right?
36
There's no sound there.
37
Averaging.
38
Averaging about.
39
Averaging.
40
We connect that ng to the following uh sound.
41
Averaging about two.
42
Here we connect those two T sounds together. About two.
43
Averaging about 200 hits a day on our blog articles.
44
But that was actually, but that was, here we'll connect the T and TH,
45
and we'll connect the T to the W by turning the T into a glottal stop.
46
Before a W, a T usually turns into a glottal stop.
47
But that was, but that was actually, but that was actually after a downward trend.
48
Actually, we don't say actually, we say actually.
49
But that was actually after a downward trend.
50
Downward trend.
51
The D and the T connect together.
52
Downward trend.
53
So that means, so that means, that means, glottal stop there for the T in that, so that means we were regularly,
54
were regularly, that's a long r sound, we were regularly, we were regularly getting 300 hits a day before that.
55
Before that.
56
Glottal stop there at the end of the sentence.
57
Before that.
58
Now though, check this out.
59
Now though, check this out.
60
Another glottal stop there in out.
61
Check this out.
62
You can see, you can see, these vowels in you and can turn into very, very quick sounds.
63
You can see, you can see, you can see we're up to four up to, up to.
64
Here the two turns into to.
65
You can see we're up to 400 views per day.
66
400 views per day.
67
400 views per day on average this month.
68
So for 400 views per day, this is the main point of my sentence.
69
I'm not going to connect any sounds here.
70
400 views per day.
71
I keep my voice smooth and steady.
72
400 views per day.
73
I'm not adding any glottal stops or breaks in my voice there, but I'm also being very clear with all the consonants and vowels.
74
400 views per day on average. On average.
75
Now I'm connecting those sounds together.
76
On average this month.
77
This month.
78
Of course, month ends in the th sound.
79
There's no s there, so we have to say nth at the end of the word.
80
this month.
81
We've been doing really well recently with the new website content.
82
Take a look at this.
83
Two or three months ago we were averaging about 200 hits a day on our blog articles, but that was actually after a downward trend,
84
so that means we were regularly getting 300 hits a day before that.
85
Now though, check this out.
86
You can see we're up to 400 views per day on average this month.
이 수업에 대하여

이번 영상 속 대화를 빠른 속도로 말하는 데 익숙해지기 위해서는 shadowing site를 활용하여 발음을 같이 따라 해보세요. 처음에는 천천히, 그 다음 빠르게 따라 하면서 발음의 정확성을 높여보세요. 특히, 거리낌 없이 발음하는 것을 연습하는 것이 중요한데, 이 과정에서 영어 발음 교정을 위한 강세 변화와 음 연결을 명확하게 인지할 수 있습니다. 연습이 익숙해지면, shadow speak 기법을 활용하여 자신의 발음을 녹음하고 비교해보는 것도 좋은 방법입니다. 유명한 표현인 “take a look at this”는 비즈니스 회의에서 자주 사용되므로 이 문장을 연습하는 데 집중하세요. 특히, 'take'와 'look'를 부드럽게 연결하여 자연스러운 발음을 만들어보세요. 반복적인 연습을 통해 더 자연스럽고 유창한 대화 능력을 기를 수 있습니다.
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.
