1
Today, you'll practice your English reading and vocabulary, but I'm also going to test your pronunciation and listening skills.
2
First, I'll read a short article at a natural speed.
3
Your job is to listen carefully and try to fill in the missing words.
4
This is a great way to train your ears to hear small details in fast-spoken English.
5
After that, I'll break down the key vocabulary in each paragraph,
6
line by line, and you'll learn a lot of useful pronunciation tips that will help you use and understand natural connected speech.
7
At the end of the lesson, we'll slow it down with a listen and repeat exercise to practice everything you've learned.
8
And of course, I have a free PDF for you to download.
9
This includes all the information from today's lesson, plus some extra tips and examples.
10
You can find the link in the description below this video.
11
Fill in the blanks and try to write down the missing words you hear.
12
If it's too fast right now, don't worry, we'll read everything again together later.
13
Having confidence in your English skills is the key to fluency.
14
However, many learners hesitate to speak because they're afraid they might make a mistake.
15
But you really shouldn't worry about that.
16
Normal people don't criticize small mistakes because, the truth is, native speakers make mistakes too, sometimes without realizing it.
17
So keep practicing every day, no matter what.
18
I promise, it'll get easier over time.
19
And never apologize for your English.
20
If you're not ready to see the answers yet, go back and listen to that again.
21
If you are ready, then let's look at the first paragraph with all the missing words.
22
First we have the noun confidence.
23
Confidence.
24
If the sentence has an object, you have to follow this with the preposition in.
25
You have confidence in something or someone.
26
Notice the connected speech here.
27
Confidence in.
28
This is consonant to vowel linking.
29
This happens when one word ends with a consonant sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound.
30
The final letter E here is completely silent.
31
We do not pronounce this.
32
The real final sound is s, and we want to connect this sound to the word in.
33
This should sound nice and smooth, almost like one word, confidence in.
34
The same thing happens between these two words, your English, your English.
35
We're connecting the final er sound with the ih sound, your English.
36
the verb hesitate.
37
Hesitate.
38
This means to pause or wait before doing something, usually because you're nervous or unsure.
39
It's common to use this with an infinitive.
40
You hesitate to do something.
41
Many learners hesitate to speak.
42
Here's another type of connected speech.
43
Consonant-to-consonant linking.
44
When one word ends with a consonant and the next word begins with the same consonant sound, we only produce that sound once,
45
but we hold it a little longer.
46
So we don't say, hesitate to speak.
47
It's hesitate to speak.
48
Hesitate to speak.
49
Next we have, which is a contraction or the short form of they are.
50
You'll notice that I've used contractions in this entire article because they're essential for natural fluent English,
51
but you have to know exactly when to use them.
52
Basically, we speak with contractions all the time in both formal and informal situations,
53
so you can't avoid them.
54
I'm sorry.
55
We also use contractions a lot in informal writing, but try not to use them in academic or formal writing.
56
You want to pronounce this like it's one word, there.
57
In fact, all three of these words have the same pronunciation.
58
There, the contraction.
59
There, for location, and there for possession.
60
There, there, there.
61
But don't forget about consonant to vowel linking.
62
The final er sound connects to the vowel sound in afraid.
63
They're afraid.
64
They're afraid.
65
They might make a mistake.
66
This is important.
67
In English, we don't do a mistake.
68
We make a mistake.
69
A good way to remember this is with the two M's here.
70
Also, we have linking again.
71
Make a.
72
Make a mistake.
73
Make a mistake.
74
Now, before this, we have the modal verb, might. Might.
75
Here we have a sound change with the letter T at the end.
76
This is called a stopped T.
77
This means your tongue is in the typical location to pronounce a regular T sound,
78
but with a stopped T, you do not push any air.
79
You stop right before that final step.
80
This usually makes the previous vowel sound a little shorter.
81
And this is how we know the difference between might and my.
82
In the first word, we have a shorter vowel sound with a stopped T, might, might.
83
The second word has a longer vowel sound, my, my.
84
A stopped T happens in two situations.
85
One, before another word that begins with a consonant sound, and two, when the word is at the end of a sentence.
86
We'll see a few more examples of this very soon.
87
Okay, next paragraph.
88
The contraction of should not is shouldn't.
89
Shouldn't with two syllables.
90
In the second syllable, you basically only hear the nn sound followed by a stopped t.
91
And that's because the next word begins with a consonant.
92
Shouldn't worry.
93
Shouldn't worry.
94
But there's more because we have two more stopped Ts.
95
Shouldn't worry about that.
96
Shouldn't worry about that.
97
And the stopped Ts never end.
98
Here's another one in the contraction.
99
Don't.
100
Don't.
101
Now we have the verb criticize.
102
To criticize means to talk about the problems or the bad qualities of something or someone.
103
When you pronounce verbs that end with the letters I-Z-E or I-S-E,
104
especially in British English, be careful not to add an extra syllable.
105
This happens a lot with Spanish speakers who try to pronounce similar words that end with isar in Spanish.
106
But in English, the ending is unstressed and only has one syllable.
107
Eyes, like your eyes, criticize,
108
memorize, socialize, etc. Next, we have a very common phrase for everyday conversation.
109
The truth is plus a sentence.
110
We use this phrase to emphasize that the next sentence will be very honest or very important.
111
Here we have a different sound change.
112
When you have tr at the beginning of a syllable, it often sounds almost like C-H-R.
113
Tr.
114
Truth.
115
Truth.
116
Now, I promise that there's a good reason for these sound changes.
117
This process happens all the time in English, and similar things happen in your language too,
118
because our tongue, teeth, and lips always have to move from one position to another when we're speaking.
119
And some sound changes are really difficult to make in a short amount of time,
120
especially if there are two very different sounds next to each other.
121
The sounds and are pronounced in very different ways and in different locations of the mouth.
122
So to save time, the natural thing to do is to meet in the middle.
123
The T is trying to adapt or become more like the next sound.
124
So the natural result is something like tr- truth, trust, try, train, trouble.
125
Pretty cool, right?
126
Now I want you to listen to the pronunciation of native.
127
The first vowel is a long vowel like the letter A, native.
128
But notice that the next sound is not a clear t sound, like native.
129
Instead, it's very soft, almost like a quick D, but not exactly the same.
130
This sound is called a flap or a tap.
131
To produce this sound, the tip of your tongue touches the top of your mouth right behind your teeth.
132
This happens once very quickly, and then your tongue comes back down.
133
Native.
134
Native.
135
Keep in mind that it's very common for other languages to represent this same sound with a different letter.
136
For example, the sound you produce in Spanish words like para or mira.
137
This is also a flap sound.
138
In English, a flap T occurs in an unstressed syllable between two vowel sounds.
139
So in this situation, this is the standard pronunciation in North American English.
140
This is also common in Australian English and a few other dialects,
141
But the flap T is especially uncommon in standard British English, so they would say something more like native.
142
Okay, next we have a really common verb with that I-Z-E ending.
143
Realize.
144
If you realize something, that means now you know or understand that something exists.
145
This usually implies that you didn't know something in the past, but then you discovered something,
146
and after thinking about it, now you know something.
147
After I got on the plane, I realized that I left my phone at home.
148
We can connect these two sounds here, and we can pronounce these two words with a stopped T.
149
without realizing it, without realizing it.
150
All right, let's look at the last paragraph.
151
We have more consonant-to-consonant linking here, so we only pronounce the P once.
152
Keep practicing, keep practicing.
153
Next, a very common phrase, no matter what, no matter what, with a stopped T at the end.
154
This means that something will definitely happen or continue, even if there are difficulties or challenges.
155
You can use this at the end after a full sentence.
156
For example, I will support you no matter what.
157
So this means I will support you in any situation.
158
You can also use this before a clause.
159
No matter what happens, we will finish the project on time.
160
So even if it's difficult or if something bad happens, we will keep going and finish the project.
161
Next, the contracted form of it will is it'll.
162
It'll.
163
We're pronouncing a flap T here.
164
It's like pronouncing the word little, but without the L at the beginning.
165
Little, little, ittle, ittle.
166
Now, I think we're ready to combine two rules here.
167
First, we have consonant-to-vowel linking between get and easier, but, and this is important,
168
the flap T is not limited to one word.
169
This also happens between words in connected speech.
170
So together, this sounds like get easier, get easier.
171
By the way, here the word get means become.
172
I have an entire video on how to use get in English, so you can watch that later.
173
And finally, some more consonant to vowel linking.
174
Never apologize.
175
Never apologize.
176
The verb apologize is a little more formal and it means to say sorry for something you've done.
177
You can apologize to someone for something or for doing something.
178
He apologized to his teacher for the mistake.
179
Do you think I should apologize for saying that?
180
Now let's practice by reading out loud together.
181
I want you to focus on using connected speech.
182
Also, try to copy my intonation.
183
This is the way my voice goes up and down.
184
Okay, repeat after me.
185
Having confidence in your English skills is the key to fluency.
186
However, many learners hesitate to speak.
187
Because they're afraid they might make a mistake.
188
But you really shouldn't worry about that.
189
Normal people don't criticize small mistakes.
190
Because the truth is, native speakers make mistakes too.
191
Sometimes without realizing it.
192
So keep practicing every day.
193
No matter what.
194
I promise it'll get easier over time.
195
And never apologize for your English.

추천 영상

이 영상이 영어 말하기 실력 향상에 좋은 이유

이번 영상은 영상 영어 공부의 진가를 발휘하는 좋은 예입니다. 자연스러운 발음과 연결된 말하기(connected speech)를 실제 텍스트와 함께 배우고, 듣기와 말하기를 동시에 연습할 수 있기 때문이죠. 특히 원어민처럼 부드럽게 말하는 법을 배우고 싶다면, 이 영상은 필수적인 자료입니다. 단어 뜻뿐 아니라 발음 규칙, 연결 법까지 자세히 설명해주기 때문에, 단순히 단어를 외우는 것보다 실제 의사소통에 필요한 기술을 쌓을 수 있습니다.

자연스러운 발음의 비밀, 연결된 말하기(Connected Speech) 분석

영어가 자연스러워 보이는 이유는 단순히 빠르게 말하는 게 아니라, 단어와 단어를 부드럽게 연결하는 기술에 있습니다. 이 영상에서 몇 가지 핵심 예시를 살펴봅시다.

  • "confidence in": 마지막 's' 소리와 다음 단어의 'i' 소리를 연결해 한 단어처럼 발음합니다. "confidencein"처럼 부드럽게 이어지죠. 이는 자음-모음 연결(consonant-to-vowel linking)입니다.
  • "hesitate to speak": "hesitate"의 마지막 't'와 "to"의 't'가 같은 자음이므로, 한 번만 길게 발음합니다. "hesitate to speak"가 아니라 "hesitate to speak"처럼 들립니다. 이는 자음-자음 연결(consonant-to-consonant linking)입니다.
  • "your English": "your"의 마지막 'r' 소리와 "English"의 'i' 소리를 연결해 "yourEnglish"처럼 발음합니다. 원어민은 이렇게 연결함으로써 말이 더 유창해 보입니다.

쉽고 효과적인 연습 루틴: Shadow Speak로 실력 UP!

이 영상을 이용해 shadow speak(쉐도잉) 연습을 하면, 빠르게 발음과 유창성이 향상됩니다. 다음과 같은 루틴을 따라해 보세요:

  1. 영상을 처음부터 자연스러운 속도로 듣고, 빈칸을 채우는 연습을 합니다. 이때 귀를 집중해 연결된 발음을 캐치하세요.
  2. 키워드별로 발음 설명을 듣고, 단어를 반복하며 연결된 소리를 연습합니다. "confidence in"처럼 한 단어로 발음할 수 있을 때까지 반복하세요.
  3. 영상을 멈추고 자신이 말하는 것을 녹음합니다. 원어민의 발음과 비교해 연결된 부분이 부드러운지 확인합니다.
  4. 마지막으로 영상과 동시에 말하는 영어 쉐도잉을 합니다. 처음에는 느린 속도로 시작해 점점 빠르게 맞춰가세요.

매일 10분씩 이 루틴을 실행하면, 1주일 만에 자연스러운 발음과 유창성이 눈에 띄게 향상될 것입니다. 또한 영상 설명에 있는 무료 PDF를 다운받아, 연습할 때 참고하면 더 좋습니다. shadowing site를 찾아보는 것도 좋지만, 이 영상처럼 실제 텍스트와 함께 연습하는 것이 가장 효과적입니다. 실수는 두려워하지 마세요! 원어민도 실수를 하니까요. 계속 연습하다 보면, 당신의 영어도 자연스러워질 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.
