1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today, I'd like to look at the intonation in the short
4
piece where someone is making an appointment to get their car fixed.
5
Let's take a look.
6
Hi, I want to make an appointment to bring my car in.
7
Hi, hi.
8
So we're greeting somebody, and this is probably a phone conversation.
9
Hi, I want to make an appointment to bring my car in.
10
You're making kind of a request when you're on the phone
11
and you're kind of explaining what the phone call is going to be about.
12
you go up even at the end of the sentence here.
13
In a lot of videos, I talk about going down at the end of the sentence most of the time.
14
And so this is an example where we're going to go up at the end of the sentence.
15
I want to make an appointment to bring my car in.
16
To bring my car in.
17
It's a 2013 Ford Focus.
18
It's a 2013 Ford Focus.
19
We go up with Ford and up with 2013 because both of those modify focus.
20
It's a 2013 Ford Focus.
21
When I get on the highway, when I get on the highway, so I'm introducing the topic here.
22
When I get on the highway, something is going to happen, right?
23
So I keep my tone high to tell you that I'm just beginning this sentence.
24
When I get on the highway, you can hear kind of a loud noise.
25
Loud modifies noise, so loud noise coming from the back half of the car.
26
Car is the end of the sentence, so we'll go down there.
27
You can hear kind of a loud noise coming from the
28
back half back half of the car the back half is
29
an important piece of information it's where the noise is coming
30
from back half of the car like a rumbling loud enough
31
to hear it from the inside loud enough inside those are
32
the two stress points here it's a very loud sound
33
and you can hear it inside the car loud enough to
34
hear it from the inside we're kind of speaking evenly hear it from the inside and then going down again with side.
35
It's weird.
36
It's weird.
37
We want to put some emotion into our voices here.
38
It's weird because I just had it looked at a few months ago.
39
It's weird because I just had it looked at.
40
I just had it looked at.
41
You can imagine you're a little bit frustrated, so you're going down with your voice for more of these words.
42
I just had it looked at.
43
I just had it looked at a few months ago.
44
Maybe not that angry, but you can feel the emotion here with the words going down in pitch.
45
It's weird because I just had it looked at a few months ago.
46
A few months ago.
47
A few months.
48
A few modifies months, so it's a higher tone there.
49
A few months ago.
50
I'm not sure what's going on with it.
51
I'm not sure what's going on with it.
52
Not sure what.
53
I'm not sure what's going on with it.
54
Again, if you put more emotion into it, if you say, I'm not sure what's going on with it, it just becomes a more exaggerated version of the intonation I've shown here.
55
I'm not sure what's going on with it.
56
Do you have any open slots this week?
57
What I'm asking for in this section is open slots, meaning open appointments, open times I can bring the car in.
58
So, do you have any open slots this week?
59
I go up with my voice at the end here because it's a yes-no question.
60
The person I'm talking to could say, yes, we do, or no, we don't.
61
You'll have to come in another time.
62
So, for yes-no questions, we go up with the voice at the end.
63
Do you have any open slots this week?
64
Do you have any open slots this week?
65
Open is a little higher than slots
66

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.
