쉐도잉 연습: Everyday English Intonation: Sorry for Being Late - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Hey, what's up?

It's Alex.

Let's now look at the intonations in this short piece about somebody apologizing for being late.

Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late.

So we have so sorry.

Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late.

The I'm here gets reduced both times.

Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late.

I took the wrong exit.

So wrong is a little bit higher because it's modifying exit.

I took the wrong exit.

I took 282 instead of 283.

So this is interesting.

We're comparing the two numbers.

282 instead of 283.

The stress point is on two and then three.

I took 282 instead of 283.

And so before that stress point, we're rising in that word.

You can treat 282 and 283 both as individual words.

282, 283.

Then it was all one-way roads for like three miles.

Then it was all...

So I'm stressing then, and normally a word like then doesn't get much stress in a sentence.

Here though, I'm explaining a sequence of events.

This happened, then that happened.

So there's stress on the word then.

Then it was all one-way roads for like three miles.

One-way roads.

High, high fall.

One-way roads for like, we reduce for like here, for like three miles.

And then we have three miles kind of in a higher tone to explain, you know, the feeling that I've got for like three miles.

I had to drive three miles in the wrong direction.

Until I could turn around and get back on the highway until I could turn around again, turn around again.

That's another stress point because that's the list of what I'm doing.

I'm explaining the list of things that caused me to be late

and so one of these major things is that I had to turn around again and get back on the highway.

So the stress points there are the important parts of the sentence.

It's what's bringing information to the listener instead of just doing grammatical function words.

And then the traffic started getting backed up.

And then the, and then the, again we're stressing then, and then the traffic started getting backed up.

Started getting backed up.

So we're falling at the end of the sentence.

This is a long sentence.

And then the traffic started getting backed up.

And so even though it's the end of a sentence, I still want to put some emotion into it and give a little bit of a falling tone to these words.

The traffic started getting backed up, backed up, especially on the two words backed up, backed up.

I can't believe it took so I can't believe it took so long.

I can't believe it took so long.

The stress points are here.

I've got a negative feeling.

I'm putting emotion into my sentence, and the stress points go on, believe it took so long.

I can't believe it took so long.

So it and so get almost totally reduced.

I'm saying them with such a light voice here.

I'm never taking that exit again.

I'm never taking.

I'm never taking that exit again.

So here the main point of this sentence is never.

If I kind of stopped listening and I just heard the word never, I would understand that it's the end of the person's explanation and they're saying, I'm never taking that exit again.

They're never going to do again what made them late.

So the stress is definitely on never and then we have some weaker stress here on taking that exit again.

Taking that exit again.

Hey, I'm so sorry I'm late.

I took the wrong exit.

I took 282 instead of 283.

Then it was all one-way roads for like three miles until I could turn around again and get back on the highway, and then the traffic started getting backed up.

I can't believe it took so long.

I'm never taking that exit again.

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.
