쉐도잉 연습: Cambridge 19 listening test 2 section 1 - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
Hi, Coleman.
2
How are you?
3
Good, thanks.
4
I wanted to have a chat with you
5
because our friend Josh told me that you've joined a guitar group and it sounds interesting.
6
I'd really like to learn myself.
7
Why don't you come along?
8
I'm sure there's room for another person.
9
Really?
10
So, who runs the classes?
11
He's called a coordinator.
12
His name's Gary Matheson.
13
Let me note that down.
14
Gary.. how do you spell his surname?
15
It's M-A-T-H-I-E-S-O-N.
16
Right, thanks.
17
He's retired, actually, but he's a really nice guy and he used to play in a lot of bands.
18
Thanks.
19
So, how long have you been going?
20
About a month now.
21
And could you play anything before you started?
22
I knew a few chords, but that's all.
23
I'm sure everyone will be better than me.
24
That's what I thought too.
25
When I first spoke to Gary on the phone, he said it was a class for beginners, but I was still worried that everyone would be better than me.
26
But we were all equally hopeless.
27
Oh, that's reassuring.
28
So where do you meet?
29
Well, when I joined the group, they were meeting in Gary's home.
30
But as the group got bigger, he decided to book a room at the college in town.
31
I prefer going there.
32
I know that place.
33
I used to go to tap dancing classes there when I was at secondary school.
34
I haven't been since, though, and I can't remember what road it's in.
35
Is it Lock Street?
36
It's just beyond there, at the bottom of New Street, near the city roundabout.
37
Yes, of course.
38
The guitar club is on the first floor in room T347.
39
Right.
40
And when do you meet?
41
Is it at the weekend?
42
We meet on Thursdays.
43
It used to be 10.30 and that suited me well.
44
But now we meet at 11.
45
The class that's in there before us asked if they could have the room for another thirty minutes.
46
Oh, I see.
47
Well, I'd love to come, but I don't have a guitar.
48
Well, you can always buy a second-hand one.
49
There's a website called The Perfect Instrument that sells all kinds of guitars, violins and so on.
50
I'm sure you'll find something there.
51
So, what's a typical lesson like with Gary?
52
Well, he always starts by getting us to tune our guitars.
53
That takes about five minutes.
54
Uh-huh.
55
Some people have an app they use, but others do it by ear.
56
Gary goes round and helps them.
57
And while he's doing that, he tells us what he's going to do during the lesson.
58
Right.
59
First, we usually spend about ten minutes doing some strumming.
60
So, is that using...oh, what are they called?
61
Plectrums?
62
No, we just use our thumbs.
63
Much easier.
64
Gary reminds us where to put our fingers for each chord and then we play them together.
65
Sometimes we all just start laughing because we're so bad at keeping time.
66
So Gary starts clapping to help us.
67
Do you learn to play any songs?
68
Yes.
69
We do at least one song with words and chords.
70
I mean, that's harder than you think.
71
Oh, I'm sure it is.
72
That part of the lesson takes about 15 minutes.
73
He often brings a recording of the song and plays it to us first.
74
Then he hands out the song and if there's a new chord in it, we practice that before we play it together, but really slowly.
75
Do you do any finger picking?
76
That's the last ten minutes of the lesson, when we pick out the individual notes from a tune he's made up.
77
It's always quite simple.
78
That must be hard, though.
79
It is.
80
But people like it because they can really concentrate.
81
And if we're all playing well, it sounds quite impressive.
82
The only trouble is that he sometimes gets us to play one at a time.
83
You know, alone.
84
Oh, that's scary.
85
It is.
86
But I've got used to it now.
87
At the end, he spends about five minutes telling us what to practice for the following week.
88
Well, thanks, Coleman.
89
I'll go and have a look at that website, I think.

이 비디오와 함께 말하기 연습을 하는 이유는?

이 비디오는 친구와의 자연스러운 대화를 통해 영어 말하기 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 훌륭한 기회를 제공합니다. 두 사람의 대화를 통해 일상적인 주제에 대한 표현과 그에 따른 상호작용을 배울 수 있습니다. 특히, guitar group와 같은 사회적 활동에 대한 이야기는 실생활에서 사용되는 어휘와 구문을 익히는 데 매우 도움이 됩니다. 영어로 친구와 소통하고 싶은 학습자는 이러한 대화를 연습함으로써 자신감을 높일 수 있습니다. 또한, shadowspeak 기법을 활용하여 이 비디오를 반복 청취하고 따라 말해보면서 IELTS 스피킹 시험과 같은 상황에서의 실력을 기를 수 있습니다.

문맥 속 문법 및 표현

  • come along: 함께 가다라는 의미로, 다른 활동에 초대할 때 자주 사용됩니다.
  • how do you spell: 철자를 물어볼 때 쓰는 표현으로, 정확한 문자의 발음을 확인하고 싶을 때 유용합니다.
  • How long have you been going?: 얼마나 오랫동안 참석해왔는지 물어보는 질문으로, 경험이나 지속성을 표현할 때 자주 사용됩니다.
  • it used to be: 과거의 특정한 상태나 행동을 설명할 때 사용됩니다. 이전의 상황을 회상할 때 효과적입니다.

위와 같은 표현들을 반복적으로 연습하면, 일상 대화에서 자연스럽고 유창하게 사용할 수 있게 됩니다. shadowspeaks 기법을 통해 이러한 표현들을 연습하면 더욱 효과적입니다.

일반적인 발음 실수

비디오에서 등장하는 몇 가지 단어와 구문은 발음하기 어려울 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, Matheson이라는 성은 한국어 화자에게 낯설 수 있는데, "매세슨"처럼 발음하며 음절을 정확하게 나누는 연습이 필요합니다. 또한, "coordinator"는 "코오디네이터"가 아닌 "코디네이터"로 발음해야 자연스럽습니다. 이러한 발음 트랩을 인식하고 연습하는 것은 매우 중요합니다. shadowing site를 이용하여 반복 청취하고 따라하며 발음 개선을 도모할 수 있습니다.

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.
