After McDonald's announcement last month, other fast food restaurants followed suit.
166
Wendy's announced its $3 limited time breakfast combo meal,
167
and Burger King trumpeted that it planned to bring back its $5 your way meal.
168
Let's look at the expression month long.
169
The article said McDonald's will offer a month long deal.
170
Month-long means lasting the entire month.
171
Throughout the month, we can say, the store is having a month-long sale or I took a month-long vacation.
172
But we can also say year-long.
173
I'm taking a year-long course.
174
And that means the course will last for the entire year.

177
And we can also say week-long.
178

Do you know the meaning of the expression to follow suit?

192
This is a trumpet.
193
It's a musical instrument, but it's also a verb to trumpet.
194
And it means to announce something loudly and forcefully, to tell someone about something that you are proud of, and sometimes in an annoying way.
195
For example, we can say he trumpeted his achievements to anyone who would listen
196
or the government trumpeted the success of its new policies the
197
company trumpeted its new product with a huge marketing campaign let's
198
look at a grammar rule have you been speaking correctly i
199
hear a lot of mistakes with this one let's make sure
200
that you're using it correctly notice
201
that i said five dollar not five dollars burger king trumpeted
202
that it plans to bring back it's five dollar your value
203
meal also three dollar not three dollars three dollar limited time breakfast combo meal
204
but the earlier part said four five dollars four piece chicken nuggets small fries
205
and a small drink for five dollars
206
so why do we sometimes have an s
207
and sometimes no s let's Let's look at another example and I think you'll understand.
208
Which sentence is correct?
209
That's a $2 million house or that's a $2 million house.
210
The noun house follows the number, the amount.
211
So dollar must not have an S.
212
We can say the house costs two million dollars.
213
In that case, we would add an S to dollars.
214
Let's look at some more examples.
215
I paid five dollars.
216
I bought a five dollar meal.
217
Because we have meal, we have the noun after the amount, we take away the S, from dollars.
218
A five dollar meal.
219
And this is a five dollar bill.
220
I gave him five dollars or I gave him a five dollar bill.
221
This is 25 cents or this is a 25 cent coin.
222
No S.
223
My house has three bedrooms.
224
I have a...
225
You finish it.
226
I have a three bedroom house.
227
Okay, let's read the paragraph again so that you can practice your accent.
228
Pay attention to which words I'm stressing and which words I'm reducing
229
and make sure that you link the words the same way that I'm doing it.
230
Repeat after me.
231
Starting June 25th, McDonald's will offer a month-long deal featuring a combo meal.
232
Either a McChicken, a McDouble, or four-piece chicken nuggets.
233
Small fries and a small drink for $5.
234
After McDonald's announcement last month, other fast food restaurants followed suit.
235
Wendy's announced it's $3.00 Limited time breakfast combo meal.
236
And Burger King trumpeted that it planned to bring back its $5 your way meal.
237
Let's look at the next sentence.
238

239
Let's learn how to pronounce mobile app with the perfect American accent.

241
Is it mobile or mobile?
242
How do you say it?

262
Repeat after me.
263

269
And when you see a new word, make sure you look it up.

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유는?
이 비디오에서는 원어민들이 자주 사용하는 표현을 배울 수 있습니다. 영어 회화 연습에서 가장 중요한 것은 자연스러운 대화를 이해하고 할 수 있는 능력입니다. 다양한 숙어와 표현을 통해 여러분의 영어 실력을 한 단계 끌어올릴 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, "hit the road"와 같은 표현은 단순히 "출발하다"는 의미를 넘어서서, 일상 대화에서 더욱 자연스럽게 사용됩니다. 이러한 표현을 익힘으로써, 여러분의 말하기 능력이 향상될 것입니다.
문맥 속 문법 및 표현
- hit the road: 떠나다, 출발하다
- par for the course: 예기치 않은 일, 예상되는 일
- on the run: 바쁘게 움직이다, 서둘러서
이 표현들은 일상 회화에서 자주 듣는 표현들이며, 여러분이 영어 회화 연습을 통해 사용할 수 있는 유용한 문장들입니다. 특히, "We need to hit the road early"와 같이 상황에 맞춰 연습하면 좋습니다. 이러한 표현들을 통해 원어민들과의 대화 속에서 더욱 자신감을 느낄 수 있습니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
비디오에서 다룬 일부 단어는 발음이 헷갈릴 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, "launch"와 "lunch"는 발음이 비슷하지만 다릅니다. "launch"는 'ah' 소리로 발음하는 반면, "lunch"는 'uh' 소리로 발음됩니다. 이 둘을 혼동하지 않도록 주의해야 합니다. 다른 발음의 예로는 but, bought, cut, caught 등이 있으며, 이러한 단어들을 반복적으로 연습하는 것이 중요합니다.
영어를 배우는 과정에서 발음은 매우 중요한 요소입니다. "shadowspeak"와 같은 기법을 사용하여 이러한 발음을 연습하면, 자신의 말하기 실력을 한층 더 개선할 수 있습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 이러한 발음 연습을 효과적으로 수행할 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.
