쉐도잉 연습: G8 ThinQ hands-on: LG's newest flagship - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
- Hey, it's Chaim with The Verge, and I'm here with the new LG G8 ThinQ.
2
It's LG's latest flagship that it's announcing at MWC 2019.
3
(mellow music) LG's focusing on a couple areas as improvements with the G8.
4
It's focusing on biometric security, new camera features, and just generally improved hardware.
5
The biggest area that it's changing is the new front-facing camera which LG is calling the Z Camera.
6
The Z stands for z-axis, and that's because LG's using some IR 3D mapping technology that'll allow you to detect how far things are from the device.
7
LG's using this in a couple of cool ways.
8
(upbeat music) The first is for face unlock, so it can do face ID just like an iPhone.
9
Actually, very similar to the iPhone, and it's using these IR sensors to get better, 3D maps that work well in low light.
10
LG says its system is actually an improvement on Apple's because LG's using a constant live feed instead of more static 3D images that Apple is using.
11
The second is in just improved portrait selfies.
12
LG's using the added data from the new sensor for better depth mapping, which it says should give better portrait selfies and allow it to use more effects on those portrait pictures, and the third is probably the weirdest one that LG's doing, which is something it's calling Hand ID.
13
That's where it's using the IR sensors to reflect the IR lasers off the hemoglobin in the veins in your hand and then using that vein map as a way to identify that it is your palm and no one else's.
14
LG says that this is a secure way to unlock your phone, and the net result is that you can just kinda hold your phone, hold your hand over your phone, and it just unlocks.
15
It's very weird, and honestly, like, I had a lot of trouble getting it to work, probably just because I'm not very used to unlocking my phone that way.
16
I really don't think anyone is, but I kinda see where LG is coming from, and it ties into one of the other big features that they're introducing with the G8, which is called Air Motion.
17
Now, that's LG's phrase for its gesture control system.
18
So you activate it first by holding your hand close to your phone, and then, you draw it back a bit.
19
Then, you can tilt your hand to play, pause music or rotate it like a dial to adjust volume.
20
It's interesting and it kinda works.
21
Again, I had some difficulty, largely due to the fact that I had a few minutes to learn it, and I'm just not very familiar with it, and it's a feature that's meant when your phone's like, on a table, your hands are dirty, you're making bread, or painting a picture or something, and you still wanna change music or answer a call, but it doesn't work super well, and I'm just not entirely convinced by it just yet as a feature.
22
LG's completely eliminated the top speaker from the phone.
23
That's nice just because the notch gets to be smaller now, but to replace it, LG's using a pretty weird and cool technology which it's calling its Crystal Sound OLED, which uses the entire pane of glass that's the front of the phone and vibrating that, so you create sound instead.
24
Now, I tried it out.
25
It actually works pretty well, but it's kind of bizarre in that it doesn't really now matter where you hold it, so you can just kinda slide it up and down your ear and the sound quality doesn't get any worse, which is kinda weird.
26
The sound was a little muffled.
27
I'm not sure if that's just because inherent of the speaker technology or just because I had a really bad cell connection, but it's definitely a nifty way to use the tech, and the Crystal Sound OLED panel also works in concert with the regular speaker on the bottom which is still there.
28
So if you're just trying to play music or listen to your video, it still will sound fine, and it still will have stereo sound.
29
The rest of the specs of the G8 are a little more lackluster.
30
They're perfectly fine and, you know, regular standard upgrades for an Android phone in 2019.
31
There's a Snapdragon 855 processor, which is new and good, six gigabytes of RAM, USB-C charging.
32
There's still a headphone jack, which is great.
33
A 3500 milliamp-hour battery.
34
These are perfectly, you know, it checks all the boxes.
35
Nothing here is just super standout, though.
36
One nice thing, LG has gotten rid of the camera bump.
37
The camera is actually completely flush with the back, which is great, just a seamless piece of glass.
38
There are also a couple upgrades to the camera.
39
There's a new Dark mode, which layers up to 10 frames to help reduce noise, and there's a new Video Portrait mode, where you can shoot videos in Portrait mode with this live blur effect.
40
You can actually adjust the blur in real time while you're shooting, which is certainly cool from a tech perspective.
41
My, again, very brief test, it didn't work outstanding.
42
Chunks of the background kept flipping in and out of focus.
43
It wasn't super great at focusing in on my subject, but again, this is early hardware, early software.
44
It's not out yet.
45
LG's probably gonna tweak it, and this was absolutely not a full hands-on demo, so.
46
(gentle music) It's hard to say, but it's certainly nifty.
47
So that's the LG G8, and honestly, it's a perfectly competent-looking smartphone.
48
It checks all the boxes for specs and hardware and features, but I think it's gonna suffer from the same problem that the G7 had, which is there's just not a lot here that makes it stand out.
49
As a new phone, if you're looking at it, there's nothing that's jumping and screaming to say buy this and even if you have a G7, if you're already an LG fan, there's just not a lot here to upgrade, and in a world where we're seeing just wild new innovations, we have folding phones and 5G phones and weird cameras and things, I'm just not convinced that LG has, you know, the pitch here to, to make the G8 a compelling argument in the face of that.
50
LG hasn't announced the price or release date for the G8 yet, although announcements should be coming from its carrier partners within the next couple days at MWC, and again, this is still an early hands-on, so we'll have much more about the G8 and all the other phones at MWC as the week and months go on.
51
Thanks so much for watching.
52
Please make sure to like and subscribe for more great videos like this, and keep it locked to the Verge all week.
53
We'll have tons more news from MWC.

영어 회화 연습을 위한 비디오 배경
이 비디오는 LG의 최신 스마트폰 G8 ThinQ에 대한 해설입니다. 스피커는 제품의 특징을 구체적으로 설명하며, 기술 용어와 일상적인 표현을 혼합하여 사용합니다. 이런 유형의 대화는 IELTS 스피킹 준비에 유용하며, 기술적 내용을 설명하는 영어 회화 연습에 좋은 자료입니다.
일상 커뮤니케이션에 유용한 상위 5개 표현
- "focusing on a couple areas as improvements" - 개선 사항을 몇 가지 영역에 집중하다. 제품 설명이나 프로젝트 보고에서 자주 사용됩니다.
- "the net result is that" - 그 결과는...이다. 결론을 내릴 때 간단히 사용할 수 있는 표현입니다.
- "it checks all the boxes" - 모든 요구 사항을 충족하다. 제품이나 서비스의 장점을 설명할 때 유용합니다.
- "a little more lackluster" - 조금 평범하다. 단점을 부드럽게 지적할 때 사용됩니다.
- "it's a nifty way to use the tech" - 그 기술을 사용하는 재미있는 방법이다. 창의적인 아이디어를 설명할 때 쓰입니다.
쉐도잉 연습 가이드 (step-by-step)
이 비디오는 기술 용어가 많아 영어 쉐도잉 연습 시 주의가 필요합니다. 다음 단계로 연습해보세요:
- 발음 교정을 위해 "biometric security", "3D mapping technology"와 같은 단어의 발음을 반복해서 익히세요. 특히 "vibrating"과 "muffled"과 같은 어려운 발음을 주의깊게 듣고 따라하세요.
- shadow speech 기법을 사용하여 2~3초 지연시키고 스피커의 말을 따라하세요. "it's kind of bizarre in that it doesn't really matter where you hold it"와 같은 긴 문장은 구절로 나누어 연습하세요.
- 강조하는 부분을 따라하세요. 스피커는 "completely eliminated", "perfectly competent-looking"에서 강조를 사용하므로, 이를 모방하여 의미 전달력을 높이세요.
- 속도를 조절하며 연습하세요. 처음에는 느리게, 익숙해지면 원래 속도로 따라하세요. 이는 영어 회화 연습에서 자연스러운 말하기 능력을 키우는 데 도움이 됩니다.
이렇게 연습하면 기술적 내용을 설명하는 영어 회화 실력이 향상될 뿐만 아니라, IELTS 스피킹에서 요구되는 논리적 설명 능력도 키울 수 있습니다.
이 영상의 문법
화자가 가장 많이 쓰는 문형을 영상 속 실제 표현과 함께 정리했습니다.
| 문형 | 영상 속 표현 |
|---|---|
| 관계절 who / which + 절 — 사람이나 사물에 대한 추가 정보 | doing, which is · worse, which is · bottom which is |
| 현재완료 have/has + 과거분사 — 과거의 일이 지금도 관련이 있을 때 | has gotten · hasn't announced |
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.
