쉐도잉 연습: British Accent Training Exercise! MODERN RP (Shadowing Technique) - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
Hello everyone, my name is Dylan and welcome to another interactive speaking exercise.
2
So today we are going to be using the shadowing technique to help improve your British English speaking
3
and pronunciation whilst helping you to train your modern RP British accent.
4
Brilliant.
5
So how does it work?
6
Well, I will start by telling you a completely true story about the time I was robbed by a gang of ducks.
7
Yeah so I'll tell you this same story three times.
8
For the first time all you need to do is sit back listen and enjoy.
9
For the second time you will listen again but after each sentence you will repeat what I have just said.
10
Now for this part it's important to try and copy my voice exactly.
11
It's the small details you need to focus on in order to really improve your British English accent and speaking abilities.
12
Finally for the third part we will actually be reading the story together at the same time
13
and this is the shadowing technique.
14
Now it is a bit of a challenge however
15
if you can do this it means
16
that you are able to perfectly imitate a natural British speaker
17
which of course means that you are also speaking in a natural British accent.
18
So feel free to repeat steps two
19
and three as many times as you need to before moving on And there's no rush.
20
Don't worry
21
if you make any mistakes I'm not going to send a duck over to your house to eat you
22
or something like that No, this is just a chance for us to have a bit of fun
23
And for you to develop your speaking skills and your accent as well So enjoy the video and good luck Sorry guys,
24
I forgot to mention but I have also made a completely free PDF to go with this lesson.
25
So it includes the full story, loads of pronunciation tips, the phonetics for each word, where the schwa's are, what the linking patterns are,
26
plus a breakdown of all the vocabulary and expressions that I used.
27
It's actually a really good PDF to be honest and it will massively help you to sound so much more British.
28
The link to that is in the top comment.
29
It's completely free, all you need to do is hit the link, enter your email and I will instantly send it to you.
30
You will then also be signed up to my hilarious weekly Tuesday newsletter
31
and I will even send you a bonus video as a thank you.
32
Right, enjoy the story.
33
Let me tell you a crazy story.
34
My tale began on a Saturday morning in England.
35
The sun was shining and I was in the mood to go on an adventure.
36
So I showered up, got changed, and headed out to my local park.
37
Upon arrival, I couldn't help but appreciate how peaceful this place was.
38
Everything felt so nice and calm and relaxed.
39
Well, that was until the once perfect silence was smashed by a deafening scream.
40
As adrenaline surged through my body, I ran towards the noise to investigate.
41
I whipped out my trusty binoculars and started searching for clues.
42
And after just 10 seconds I spotted something extremely alarming in the distance.
43
That must have been what caused the scream, I thought to myself.
44
Wasting no time I dropped my binoculars and started sprinting towards my discovery.
45
I was nearly there when suddenly I hit the floor and everything went black.
46
Someone or something had tripped me up.
47
Once I eventually regained consciousness, I saw them for the first time.
48
The beasts that had caused the scream.
49
As they loomed over me, I could see the menace in their eyes.
50
These were not friendly ducks.
51
These were criminal ducks.
52
The next thing I knew, the two thugs were going into my pockets, robbing me of everything I had.
53
After successfully stealing my phone, laptop, wallet, passport and dignity, they started waddling off to freedom.
54
They were far too fast for me to chase, so I had to let them go.
55
And that's the story of how I was robbed by a gang of ducks.
56
Honestly, that story took a lot of courage for me to tell.
57
Anyway, time to move on to part two.
58
Here I will read the story again, but after each sentence you just need to repeat what I have just said.
59
Now for this section it's really important to try and copy exactly how I say it.
60
you wish to really train your modern RP British accent.
61
As I've said many times before, an accent is like a song and it's important to hit the right notes.
62
Now feel free to do this section as many times as you need to, just until you feel confident that you sound exactly like I do.
63
There's no rush and you can also play it at a slower speed if it helps.
64
Good Good luck!
65
Let me tell you a crazy story.
66
My tale began on a Saturday morning in England.
67
The sun was shining and I was in the mood to go on an adventure.

88
Right guys, it is now time for the third and final section, the shadowing technique.
89
Here we'll be reading the story together at the same time.
90
Now, as mentioned, this is quite a challenging part of the video, so take as long as you need to.
91
And you can also go and replay part two as many times as you like
92
which will make this section a lot easier.
93
So try to copy my voice exactly and don't worry if you make any mistakes.
94
It's actually a good thing.
95
Right, enjoy.
96

120
The shadowing technique is not easy so if you did find this challenging then good you know it's supposed to be hard.
121
That shows your actually learning something.
122
Now as mentioned I would definitely recommend repeating steps two
123

124
I would also highly recommend checking out the free pdf.

이 비디오는 누구를 위한 건가요?

영어 회화 실력과 브리티시 액센트를 동시에 향상시키고 싶은 중급 이상 학습자에게 최적화된 콘텐츠입니다. 특히 shadowing technique(쉐도잉 기법)을 통해 자연스러운 발음과 리듬을 익히고 싶은 사람들에게 추천됩니다. 단순히 문장을 외우는 것이 아니라, native speaker의 말투, 강세, 연결음을 정확히 모방함으로써 실제 의사소통에서 자연스러운 표현을 사용할 수 있게 됩니다.

빼놓을 수 없는 단어와 관용구

  • in the mood to: ~하고 싶은 기분이 들다. "The sun was shining and I was in the mood to go on an adventure." (해가 비치고 모험을 가고 싶은 기분이었어요.)
  • smash the silence: 고요함을 깨뜨리다. "the once perfect silence was smashed by a deafening scream" (한때 완벽했던 고요함이 귀가 터질 듯한 비명으로 깨졌어요.)
  • loom over: (위험한 것 등이) 머리 위에 드리워지다. "As they loomed over me, I could see the menace in their eyes" (그들이 나를 덮치듯 다가올 때, 그들의 눈에 위협이 보였어요.)

액센트를 제대로 익히는 방법

이 비디오의 현대 RP(Received Pronunciation) 액센트를 정확히 따라하기 위해서는 다음 세 가지에 집중하세요. 첫째, 연결음(linking)입니다. "showered up", "headed out"과 같이 단어 사이의 자연스러운 연결을 주의깊게 듣고 모방하세요. 둘째, 스와음(schwa sound)입니다. "the", "a"와 같은 관사에서 약화된 발음(/ə/)을 명확히 구분하세요. 셋째, 강세(intonation)입니다. 이야기의 긴장감을 전달할 때 높아지는 톤과 평온할 때 낮아지는 톤을 따라하며, "These were not friendly ducks"와 같은 문장에서 강세가 있는 단어("not", "friendly", "ducks")를 강조하세요.

쉐도잉 기법을 연습할 때는 비디오를 세 번 반복하는 것을 권장합니다. 첫 번째는 듣고 이해하는 단계, 두 번째는 문장마다 따라 말하는 단계, 세 번째는 동시에 말하는 단계입니다. shadowing site나 shadow speak 관련 자료를 추가로 활용하면 더욱 효과적입니다. 또한 비디오에서 제공하는 무료 PDF를 다운로드하면 발음 팁, 음성 기호, 어휘 분석 등의 자료를 활용할 수 있어 액센트 연습에 큰 도움이 됩니다.

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.
