레슨 만드는 중...
1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, I'd like to look at the connected sounds in a short text to answer the question, describe an occasion when you lost something.
4
Let's take a look.
5
It's funny.
6
The first thing that comes to mind isn't something very expensive.
7
It's funny.
8
When you begin a sentence with the word it's, I sometimes notice that people completely drop the i part,
9
and they just begin with it's funny, it's funny, it's funny.
10
They kind of connect the it's to the next word.
11
It's funny.
12
Now this doesn't always happen.
13
If someone's speaking a little bit more clearly, they wouldn't do this, and it wouldn't happen quite so obviously in the middle of a sentence.
14
It's funny, the first thing that comes to mind, the first thing, you know, the t in first thing gets deleted,
15
the first thing that comes to mind, that, the T in that, turns into a glottal stop, that, that comes to mind,
16
isn't something very expensive, isn't, the T in isn't also turns into a glottal stop, isn't something, isn't something.
17
And now if I say this faster, I might say isn't something, and remove the T entirely, no glottal stop, isn't something, isn't something.
18
Or if I'm speaking a little slower and clearer, I'll say isn't something.
19
Isn't something with a glottal stop.
20
But I just happen to have.
21
But I just happen to have.
22
But I, that T in but turns into a tap before I, and the T in just gets deleted because it's in front of a consonant.
23
Just happen.
24
But I just happen to have.
25
But I just happen to have a very strong memory about it. About it.
26
Here about that T turns into a tap. About it. About it.
27
I was waiting for a bus.
28
I was waiting for a bus once. For a.
29
Here for a turns into for a.
30
I was waiting for a for a bus once and I left some sunglasses.
31
An-ni.
32
That D in and disappears a lot of a time.
33
And I, and I, and I left some.
34
So here the T in left some gets removed.
35
Left some sunglasses.
36
And I left some sunglasses on the bench.
37
On the, on the bench.
38
That N and TH connect together.
39
On the bench.
40
Once I was in the bus and driving away, in the bus, just like on the, we connect in the.
41
The N and TH connect together.
42
In the bus and driving away.
43
Here, and, because it's between two consonants, we remove the A and the D sounds.
44
N driving becomes bus and driving.
45
Once I was in the bus and driving away, bus and driving away, it's just an N sound.
46
I saw them out the window.
47
Now here, I saw them.
48
That's a little bit extra clear.
49
We could say, I saw him.
50
I saw him out the window.
51
Saw him.
52
We could remove the th entirely.
53
That's okay.
54
I saw him out the window.
55
Here, out the, we connect that sound together, and you could think of it as a glottal stop plus th,
56
out the, or you could think of it as the t connecting into th, out the.
57
Both are fine.
58
I saw him out the window and knew they were gone forever.
59
Window, new.
60
Here, window.
61
Well, this consonant's a little bit softer than s, so we have a little bit of an e sound.
62
Window, and it's not just an end sound.
63
So I'm removing the d.
64
It's not just window, n, new.
65
It's window, when, when, when.
66
So we have a small uh sound.
67
Window-wen-nu.
68
Now the d gets removed.
69
Window-wen-nu.
70
And the two n sounds, after the d gets removed, the two n sounds get connected.
71
And new they were gone forever.
72
It's been almost 15 years.
73
Almost 15?
74
The t disappears between s and f.
75
Almost 15 years since then.
76
And I still try to take.
77
And I still...
78
We remove the D in AND I.
79
And I still try to take.
80
Here to gets reduced quite a lot.
81
Try to.
82
Try to.
83
That T is kind of a very light dd sound.
84
Try to.
85
Try to take.
86
And the vowel is reduced too.
87
Try to take better care of my sunglasses.
88
Here of turns into uh before an M sound.
89
Better care of my sunglasses.
90
care of my sunglasses.
91
It's funny, the first thing that comes to mind isn't something very expensive, but I just happen to have a very strong memory about it.
92
I was waiting for a bus once and I left some sunglasses on the bench.
93
Once I was in the bus and driving away, I saw them out the window and knew they were gone forever.
94
It's been almost 15 years since then, and I still try to take better care of my sunglasses.

연습 팁
이 비디오의 속도와 톤에 맞춰 연습할 때는 다음의 사항을 유의하세요. 먼저 shadowspeak 기법을 이용해 비디오의 내용을 따라 읽어보세요. 자연스러운 발음을 위해 특히 구두점이 없는 쉼표 없이 말을 이어가는 연습이 중요합니다. 예를 들어, "It's funny"처럼 발음할 때는 T 소리를 연속으로 연결하여 자연스럽게 발음할 수 있게 해보세요. 영어 발음 교정을 위해 "isn't something"과 같은 구문을 최대한 빠르게 연습하여 끊김 없이 소리 내는 연습을 하세요. 구어체 표현에서는 문맥상 T 소리가 소실되는 상황들에 대해 즉각적으로 반응하는 것이 중요합니다.
또한, 비디오의 속도에 맞춰 따라 하면서 자신의 발음을 녹음하여 비교해보는 것도 큰 도움이 됩니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 활용하여 발음의 뉘앙스를 느끼고, 자신만의 shadow speak 스타일을 발전시켜 보세요. 꾸준한 연습을 통해 진정한 영어 회화를 즐길 수 있을 것입니다.
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.
