쉐도잉 연습: One Small Accent Trick To Speak Natural English - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

When it comes to speaking in a natural accent in the language that you learned, there can be a lot of questions about, you know, what are the things you're doing that sound natural,

what are the things you're doing that sound less natural, and things like that.

So today I want to give you an idea of the sort of feedback

that can be helpful for you in your pronunciation journey.

So we're going to be taking a look at a pronunciation file that was sent to us and give it feedback, and maybe this is a story of feedback that you can apply to yourself.

Good morning, guys.

Good evening.

Good afternoon.

Welcome to the Schwab Mill.

This is your American Pronunciation Review Show.

If you would like to send in some audio files to get analyzed in a future stream,

what you can do is you can go to the video description or also in the comments after this video is posted.

You'll see a link to a free Telegram group where people send me pronunciation files.

Or if you want even more regular detailed practice with us, then I encourage you to check out our program called The Institute,

where we are giving people feedback Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

And to guide you in this process, there's me.

Hi.

My name is Jeff.

It runs with breath.

That's one of the four keys to a natural sound in American English,

including placement, pitch, breath, trying to weaken your constant sounds in order to strengthen your vowel sounds.

I'm excited to listen to our audio file for today

because it's doing some of the things that we actually talked about yesterday.

We had a stream on the Forward channel.

So if you're interested in practicing some of the concepts that we talk about today in more detail, I encourage you to check out this link

that I just posted in the comments because it is very similar to what we're going to listen to today.

Let's play it twice and get an idea of what this audio file is doing.

Really humbling guy.

I really appreciate this person.

I'll play it one more time.

Really humbling guy.

I really appreciate this person.

All right.

And first of all, just thank you for sending files.

Thanks to everyone who's been sending us files.

There's obviously a lot of resources out there.

So, fact to you.

And trusting me with your audio is appreciated.

The reason this clip is similar to what we practiced yesterday is because you get this repeated structure.

And this happens a lot when we speak.

There's going to be times when we say sentences and something that we do in the first half of our sentence

gets repeated again in the second half.

And we see that happening here as well.

Really humbling guy.

I really appreciate this person.

You see, really humbling guy.

I really appreciate this person.

Now, one of the things we talked about is that when you do these sorts of repetitions,

the first thing you want to consider is that the first time you introduce the idea, that's generally, not always, but generally going to be higher in pitch.

And then when you repeat it, it's going to move down in pitch.

It can be the opposite too.

But perhaps the most fundamental thing is that when that first soccer group ends, the next soccer group has to change in some way, especially on a pitch level.

Really humbling guy.

I really appreciate this.

One of the things we hear though in this audio file is that we're not transitioning.

Listen to where the thought group ends on guy.

And the next thought group starts again on really.

Really humbling guy.

Really appreciate. Do that guy.

Really guy.

Really.

Do you see that we're at more or less the same pitch level?

So this is going to be the first recommendation.

When you change the thought group, you've got to change the pitch.

Maybe you want to go lower.

So in that case, it's going to be like really humbling guy.

Really appreciate this this person really humbling guy really appreciate this person really humbling guy

really appreciate so that would be example going down

if it's going up it might be like you know really humble really humbling guy really appreciate do you see

that guy really guy really so in

that case the pitch movement went up you know whatever you

do just try to have some sort of movement there

because right now we're sounding a little bit flat really humbling guy i really appreciate this person some other things

that we commonly see with repetitions is

that we see oftentimes there's like some sort of a change of a stress

so in our first thought group we have like a three

word group like really humbling guy stress on guy it's like really humbling guy

and then next part is really appreciate this person

but it sounds like in the second thought group we're almost

stressing two words really humbling guy i really appreciate this person

i'm hearing two stresses in like a single thought group appreciate this person really appreciate this person

so what i would say

that sort of music in english isn't as common in general what i advise students is

when you have a thought group you want to try to

keep it to a single stress as opposed to two

because otherwise what can happen is if you don't have the right pitch movements and things like that

it can sound like you're bobbing like going up and down

and up and down like when you talk you talk like this like

that that's just not a music that English really has maybe

if the stress is not appreciate it's gonna sound like this

like really appreciate this person really appreciate this person now I'm just stressing appreciate really appreciate this person

if your chosen person is gonna say I really appreciate this

person really appreciate this person now i'm just stressing appreciate really appreciate this person

if you're chosen person it's going to sound like really appreciate this person

really appreciate this person

but we don't do really appreciate this person we're going to try to avoid that okay

so the second big piece of feedback here is try to

cut down on a number of stresses in your thought group

pick your stress very often again in repetitions the stress is fall in a different part not always

100

but the first thought group was really humbling guy stress on guy so i think

101

that the stress on appreciate in the second thought group would

102

be a good shift you're putting the stress now in the middle so instead of saying really humbling guy

103

where it's like up down up when you do really appreciate you're like low high

104

well so it's kind of like the opposite pattern so i think

105

that could work well here really humbling guy i really appreciate this person okay

106

which again would mean require weakening person a couple other quick little feedback things besides that here really humbling guy really

107

one of the things i'm hearing with this word really really we're reducing

108

that final e sound so

109

when words end on y's they typically sound like e you see it's like happy lucky silly things like

110

that city what i see with a lot of students from a variety of different language backgrounds i don't care

111

if it's like a romance language um

112

and a lot of your asian languages like chinese

113

or japanese um what we're seeing is

114

that the slavic languages too final e sounds are often

115

and get reduced to like a

116

so like um really he's become like really really really

117

and i would like to try get more of an e

118

sound on really humbling guy really versus really really humbling really

119

humbling really humbling that's the kind of difference we're looking at there

120

so i would try to get more of an e sound on

121

that final really humbling guy i really appreciate this person Okay.

122

And then maybe one final comment just for right now is let's take a look at this word, person.

123

Really humbling guy.

124

I really appreciate this person.

125

Okay.

126

Person, again, we said is a bit overstressed.

127

The other thing I would say here, too, is that we're really getting tight on that final instant at the end.

128

Like person.

129

It's like there's not really a lot of breath that can make it through because we're so closed off.

130

remember that American English were more focused on vowels than on consonants

131

so for person your keys vowel sounds are you have an er sound to start first vowel, and then you have a short I sound to finish.

132

It's like er, er, er.

133

Those are your main vowels.

134

We want to try to make sure that those get enough space.

135

So I would do the vowels, then the consonants back in.

136

It's like er, person, er, person, er, person.

137

Appreciate this person.

138

Really humbling guy.

139

I really appreciate this person.

140

Person.

141

like the constant sense really taken over

142

and we're really closed off on breath okay

143

so i was to try to open up your breath

144

and valve sounds there

145

if you guys are finding this sort of feedback helpful just

146

again two resources are going to be helpful for you for

147

continuing to practice this one's completely free you can go over

148

to the forward channel where we talked about some more strategies

149

and things that you want to consider

150

when you repeat an idea in this case today we looked

151

at like really humbling guy i really appreciate like these little phrases with really

152

if you want to practice more situations like

153

that this video may be helpful and then lastly

154

if you're trying to get some feedback for yourself

155

and you're just not sure you know what it is

156

that you need to work on

157

or maybe you do know what you need to work on

158

but you're not sure

159

if you're doing it right you're trying to get some feedback

160

it may be helpful for you i'll be all i'm very

161

honest to check out the institute this is our core group coaching program people join me mondays tuesdays wednesdays

162

and fridays in class there are also video modules on core concept like placement and pitch and sentence structures, linking, all that fun stuff.

163

You can then study, come to class, tell me what you're working on, we look at what you're doing, and we give you feedback to see if you're on the right direction.

164

The thing I tell people is that, hey, this is going to help you not sound like a native.

165

This is going to help you sound better.

166

We are trying to speak better than native speakers.

167

And the reason we do that is because not everyone in your first language is honestly a great communicator.

168

I know I have friends even in English who struggle to tell stories, struggle to maintain interest when they talk struggle to speak with power we're going to change that

169

because i'm going to show you all the techniques you need

170

to become more effective at communicating the best part in my opinion is

171

that it's not unique to english you can take all the things we talk about

172

and apply them to your first language

173

and you're going to become a more confident and able speaker

174

if that sounds like something

175

that you would like for yourself you can visit us at fluentamerican.com institute

176

and even ask me questions there and things like that

177

well thank you guys for hanging out with me like i

178

mentioned earlier you know there's a lot of pronunciation resources out there

179

so the fact you spent some time here with me is appreciated we'll be back next week monday tuesday

180

and friday at 7 a.m new york with more editions of

181

the schwa mill i hope you guys have a good day good night good afternoon and of course a good weekend

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.
