1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today I'd like to look at the connected sounds in a short piece answering the question, describe an important food in your country.
4
Let's take a look.
5
In the US, I would say corn is the most important crop.
6
In the US, to connect in the, we just use the th tongue position when we say na, in the.
7
In the US, I would say, I would, would, would.
8
So that vowel in would, would, it becomes very, very short.
9
It becomes would, would, I would, I would.
10
And now I'm not changing this to I'd.
11
We could change this to I'd and say, I'd say corn is the most important crop.
12
But in a more formal context, I would write the word would, and I would say the word would in a spoken answer.
13
I would say, I would say, so listen to how the d sound at the end of would changes into the s.
14
I would say, I would say, I would say corn is the most important crop.
15
Corn is the most important.
16
Mostim, mostim.
17
So when we have an st ending, we almost always just keep the T if the next sound is a vowel.
18
So I in important is a vowel, so we'll say most important.
19
But now think about the glottal stop in important.
20
Important.
21
We actually have important.
22
Important.
23
In the middle of the word, there's a glottal stop.
24
And then, because the next word is crop, we have a second glottal stop.
25
Most important crop.
26
Important crop.
27
Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived.
28
Native Americans, the Americans, just connect those sounds together,
29
Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years.
30
Thousands of years.
31
We can take off the in of and just say thousands of years,
32
thousands of years, thousands of years.
33
I know the word thousands is a hard word, but there's no sound changes here.
34
It's pronounced just like it's spelled thousands of years before Europeans arrived, before Europeans arrived, and now,
35
And now we're gonna take out the D in AND and just say the AND.
36
And now everyone in the world, everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
37
Everyone in the.. connect in the again.
38
In the world eats corn sometimes.
39
We make oil and sugar out of corn.
40
We make goil and sugar.
41
So connect make oil.
42
Make goil, make goil and sugar and sugar, take out the d and and, out of corn.
43
So here we'll connect out to of and so it's almost like it's written O-U-T-T-A.
44
It is like that.
45
Outta, outta, people write that if they're writing informally.
46
In a more formal written answer you would never write O-U-T-T-A
47
but you see it sometimes in comics or depictions of very casual speech in writing.
48
So outta corn, we make oil and sugar out of corn and we use it to feed lots of animals too.
49
And we, we take out the duh in and, and we use, we use, connect the two vowels here, and we use it to,
50
use it to, connect the two T sounds, it too, and change the vowel in to.
51
We use it to feed lots of animals too.
52
Lots of animals, lots of animals too.
53
Because animal starts with a vowel, we say lots of animals, lots of animals.
54
I could say lots of animals instead of lots of animals, but that sounds a little bit too informal for this kind of answer.
55
Corner, something made from corn.
56
Corner, connect or to the previous word and reduce the vowel.
57
Corner, corner, something made from corn.
58
Also from gets a very, very light vowel.
59
Made from, from, from corn or something made from corn is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
60
Is in a lot of foods.
61
Here, a lot of foods, a lot of foods.
62
You can think of it as the two F sounds are connecting
63
or you can just think that the of word is connecting to lot.
64
A lot of, just like out of before.
65
A lot of foods people don't even realize.
66
People don't even realize.
67
Here we're going to take out the T in DON'T and say DON'T EVEN.
68
DON'T EVEN REALIZE.
69
In the US, I would say corn is the most important crop.
70
Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived, and now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
71
We make oil and sugar out of corn, and we use it to feed lots of animals too.
72
Corn, or something made from corn, is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
이 비디오로 말하기 연습하는 이유는?
이 비디오에서는 IELTS 스피킹 주제 중 하나인 "당신의 나라에서 중요한 작물에 대해 설명하시오"라는 질문에 대한 대답을 다룹니다. 이러한 주제를 통해 영어 학습자들은 실제 상황에서 사용할 수 있는 유용한 언어 표현과 발음 연습을 할 수 있습니다. 특히, shadowspeak 기법을 사용하면 아메리칸 영어의 연음 및 자연스러운 억양을 익힐 수 있어 영어 회화 능력을 향상시키는데 큰 도움이 됩니다. 또한, 다양한 발음 연결을 연습함으로써 발음이 더 유창해지고 자신감을 얻을 수 있습니다.
문맥 속 문법 및 표현
- “I would say” - 이 표현은 자신의 의견을 표현할 때 많이 사용됩니다. 대화에서 의견을 부드럽게 전달하는 데 유용합니다.
- “The most important crop” - 형용사를 사용해 주요 작물을 강조할 때 유용한 구조입니다. 예를 들어, 다른 작물들과 비교할 때 유용합니다.
- “Connected sounds” - 이 비디오에서는 발음을 자연스럽게 연결하는 방법에 대해 설명합니다. 이는 shadow speech를 연습하는 데 중요한 부분입니다.
- “Make oil and sugar out of corn” - 어떤 재료로 무언가를 만든다는 것을 표현할 때 사용됩니다. 이러한 구조는 일상 대화에서도 자주 나타납니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
비디오에서 다루어진 여러 단어들과 발음에서 주의해야 할 함정들이 있습니다. 예를 들어, “important”의 경우, 글로탈 정지(gottal stop)가 발생하므로 잘 챙겨야 합니다. 단어의 중간 부분에서 발음이 끊어지므로, “im-por-tant” 대신에 “im-por’nt”처럼 발음을 연결해야 합니다. 또한 “corn”과 “sometimes” 역시 연결 발음이 중요한 단어입니다. 이러한 단어들은 적절하게 연결 발음을 연습하여 IELTS 스피킹 시험에 대비할 수 있도록 해줍니다. 많은 학습자들이 이러한 발음 함정에 빠지기 쉬우므로 주의가 필요합니다.
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.
