쉐도잉 연습: American English Pronunciation | Do we say "what're"? 🤨 - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Hey, what's up?

It's Alex.

Today, let's look at a couple of very common sentences that all start with the phrase, what are.

So, when we have what are at the beginning of a sentence like this, we're always going to change are to just er.

What are?

What are those?

Now, there's two little changes that happen here, actually.

The first change is that we change ah into just nothing, right?

We just take off the AH in R.

Then we change the T into a tap.

That's the symbol for a tap in the IPA.

So it goes like this.

Water.

It's actually really similar to the word water, but the first vowel is different.

Water.

What are those?

What are you doing?

So again, we're going to take off the ah in R and we'll turn the T into a tap.

What are you doing?

Now here, you also gets changed.

Instead of you, it's more like ya.

What are ya?

What are you doing?

Here at the end of doing, we might sometimes change the ng sound into just a regular n.

What are you doing?

This is really common and very casual speech.

Some people feel that it's not very standard.

I say it a lot myself.

What are you doing?

What are you waiting for?

So here, same changes to what are, what are, same change to you, into ya, what are ya.

Now, waiting, waiting, waiting.

We're going to change this by changing the ng to an n, waitin'.

Now, because we have this n, this t wants to turn to a glottal stop.

What are you waitin' for?

Waitin'.

What are you waitin' for?

What are you waiting for?

Waitin't.

What are you waiting for?

What are they talking about?

Again, we'll change the ng sound to a ng sound.

What are they talking about?

At the end of the sentence here, if you end the sentence with a vowel plus T, we normally change that T into a glottal stop in fast speech.

So it becomes, what are you talking about?

Now this is, of course, a question mark here, but this is the symbol for glottal stop.

So what are they talking about?

What are they talking about? About.

I'm just cutting off that sound in my throat instead of actually saying T. About. about.

You can hear the difference.

What are they talking about?

Finally, what are they looking at?

What are they?

So here, what are.. we'll have a tap there, that's not an R, that's a tap symbol for the tap sound.

What are.. what are they looking at?

Again, we'll change that ing into in.

Lookin.

What are they looking at?

And finally, we'll have the glottal stop symbol at the end.

What are they looking at?

Now, I also want to say that this is written as what are, but it's read as what are.

In American English, we never really write w-h-a-t-apostrophe-r-e.

We don't really write that.

We say what are all the time as if it was written like that, but in our writing standard of English,

we always just write what are instead of using this written contraction.

So what are those is read what are those.

I'll read the rest too.

What are you doing?

What are you waiting for?

What are they talking about?

What are they looking at?

Let me know in the comments what other English sounds you want me to analyze, and I'll see you in the next video.

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.
