쉐도잉 연습: Which American Accent Is Better? - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Hello everyone.

I'm very excited about this video.

I have been wanting to make this for a while.

I grew up in the state of Maine

and I grew up about a couple hours from Boston

and my grandmother has a classic Maine accent which essentially

when she travels around the country people think she's from Boston

because the Maine accent is kind of like a it's basically like a Boston accent

but it sometimes can sound a little bit like drunker

or a little bit I don't know a little bit different

but it's like it has a lot in common with the Boston accent

so kind of like Boston but cooler

and a bit more drunk like we gotta go up to Baja

but I get some loves to supper for you know the purpose of the video we're basically just gonna say

that my grandma has basically a Boston accent

so I can put on the you gotta park the car

and have the yard and give the god a quarter for some chowder.

That's a standard Boston accent right there.

The way she talked has always like entertained me and inspired me to be interested in this.

And I always wondered, like, I can listen to the New York accent, the classic New York accent.

I can hear it.

And I know that it's different in the Boston accent, but I don't really know how it's different.

So I wanted to actually analyze like, what is the difference?

Like, what is it that they're doing differently with their mouth that makes it sound that way.

I'm not an expert on this.

I have a standard American accent.

This is just like a very standard accent.

It's rhotic.

You know, I pronounce my R's very like R, you know, strongly.

The thing about the Boston and the New York accent is that they're non -rhotic.

So they both don't really pronounce R's.

So in that sense, they're actually kind of more like British and less like American,

but they don't sound like British at all because they're mixed with a lot of other American influences.

So they're definitely very famous American accents, but it is interesting that historically they have been non -rhotic,

which originally the reason why they don't pronounce the R's is because of British influence, but other aspects of their speaking are super American.

So it's just like basically a mix.

And I'm obviously generalizing in this video there are multiple accents

in new york like there's variations like there's different you know

new york city has five different boroughs like there's different variations obviously

but i'm just kind of generalizing for this video

and it's just my opinion and my perspective

so don't take it too too seriously i just wanted to share what i what i know about this

and how i perceive it so for me the main main difference between new york and Boston, talking about the accent, of course,

is the fact that in so many words and sounds,

the New York mouth is smaller and the Boston mouth is bigger, wider.

So New York, they keep the mouth smaller, Boston, bigger, wider.

So we see this in words like water.

I say water.

Water is standard American English, but in New York, they're going to say something like water, water, water you see how like small my mouth is water

water war war water in boston they're gonna open it up

and they're gonna say water water wah wah wah

so new york water boston water water they both are saying

like uh at the end right they don't say water they

say uh water water uh you know the er at the end it's just uh

but the way they start the word water is very unique to boston

and new york water water so we're going to see this pattern again and again

so let's look at some other examples the word car now

i would say car we always make fun of my grandma

because she says car car so she doesn't say car she says car

so they don't say park the car they say park the car So this is, this is like a classic Boston thing.

Pak the ka.

Now, New York is also not pronouncing the R of course, but the jaw is a little bit dropped.

Like it's a little bit lower.

The sound rests a little bit lower in the mouth.

So it's not, it's not up here with the pak the ka.

It's pak the ka, pak the ka.

It's a little bit more British sounding.

Like I'm almost like, shit, am I saying this too much?

Like British English, like I'm like wondering in my head

because it's closer it's closer

because it's it's a little bit lower it's a little bit

more like reserved it's not up in the ah it's ah

ah you know park the car boston is out here saying

park the car big open mouth park the car wide park the car New York, park the car, park, park the car.

New York has that really like small mouth on a lot of words.

Another example, coffee.

People love to make fun of New Yorkers in the way they say coffee, coffee, coffee.

We see this in words like talk, walk.

New York is going to say like talk, walk, aw.

So it's a lot of New York loves the sound aw, aw.

Hey, I'm walking here.

You have words like daughter.

Boston is going to say daughter, daughter.

New York is going to say daughter, daughter.

So you have daughter and you have daughter, daughter.

New York, it kind of sounds cooler.

I will, I will agree with that.

I will give it to you.

New York sounds cooler, even though I, you know, my, my heritage is more closer to Boston, but, but New York, it does sound cool.

It goes with that vibe of like the cool New Yorker, you know, Boston doesn't have such a cool sound and a cool kind of vibe.

I personally think Boston sounds a little bit more like white trash, like a little bit more,

a little bit more like redneck or like a little bit more trashy than New York, but that's just my opinion, I guess.

It's just an accent.

Another one I like is the word argue.

So we, we normally just native, um, not native, um, standard American English.

We just say argue, right?

Argue.

Boston is going to say argue.

Ah.

100

So they love to just get rid of the R and replace it with ah.

101

Argue.

102

Argue.

103

Whereas New York does more of a W.

104

It's more of like a ah.

105

Argue.

106

Argue.

107

I think this is a perfect example between Boston and New York.

108

So Boston is going to say argue.

109

Argue.

110

And New York is going to say argue.

111

Argue.

112

Ah.

113

You also see this in words like army.

114

You have army in Boston, you know, you were in army, New York army army.

115

So generally for a lot of words, we see this Boston, big, wide open mouth, a lot of the, ah, ah sounds.

116

And then New York, we have smaller, smaller mouth.

117

We have a lot more of the, ah, sounds, or, or, or that kind of stuff.

118

Right.

119

However, there are some exceptions.

120

There are some exceptions.

121

There are sometimes when it's kind of flipped like the word cop

122

and lot the words cop

123

and lot boston pronounces these words essentially like standard american english

124

you know cop lot basically normal right this is how i

125

would say it to cop lot normal might have a little bit extra you know a little bit wider mouth

126

but it's generally the same but new york takes this and goes really wide with it And for some reason, they say cop, lot.

127

So it's like, it's not even an O, it's like an A -H.

128

So they say lot, it's a lot, it's a cop, ah.

129

So I don't know why, for the most part, New York keeps a small mouth, but on certain words like cop and lot, they really open it up and they go cop, lot.

130

Whereas Boston just says cop, lot.

131

So there are some words where New York actually does a bigger mouth than Boston, but I would say it's like the exceptions.

132

I don't think it's like the most common I think generally it's the other way

133

but there are exceptions we see this also in the word soccer

134

so I say soccer as normal normal English normal American English

135

soccer in New York they actually open it up they do like soccer soccer

136

so there are these examples where it flips

137

and New York opens up wider and goes ah and and Boston doesn't But there are,

138

I think, even more examples of where Boston is opening up wider and New York is smaller mouth.

139

But anyways, essentially, that's the general difference between New York and Boston.

140

There are probably some other like little differences, but that's the general difference is like the mouth size.

141

It's like the position of the vowels, you know, how wide you're opening your mouth and what you're doing with the vowel sounds,

142

that's really going to be the main difference.

143

For somebody who is not a native English speaker, who is not from the US and doesn't have a lot of experience with it,

144

they might not be able to tell the difference between the two

145

because they do have some things in common like being non -rhotic, not pronouncing the r they often end words like uh you know

146

if it has an r

147

so just to end the video let me let me do some phrases

148

so in new york they they're gonna say like talking what

149

are you talking about what are you talking about uh call your mother call your mother

150

so instead of call call call call your mother call your

151

mother to showcase the boston accent really good uh really well you can say, did you find your car keys?

152

Did you find your car keys?

153

Your car keys would be car keys.

154

Did you find your car keys? we were talking about star wars star wars

155

so not star wars star wars star wars star wars star

156

wars another thing they do in boston is instead of you want coke

157

or pepsi you want coke or pepsi they might say you want coke

158

or pepsi coca coca pepsi uh some words are really funny

159

in the boston accent like um instead of divorce they say devoss we're getting a devoss we're getting a devoss So,

160

um, we always laugh at my grandma because instead of saying the word for, she says FOA, FOA.

161

So yeah, some of the words they say is really silly sounding.

162

It's really funny, but it's good.

163

It's entertainment and it's, it's slowly dying.

164

It's dying out.

165

Um, because nowadays the young generations, we tend to have a more homogenized standard American English like me.

166

Like even though I grew up in the same place that my grandma grew up, I don't talk anything like

167

and my mom was like a like in the middle between me

168

and my grandma so i can see in my family

169

and in other families too and other um people

170

that the accents are kind of dying they're kind of decreasing

171

and standard american english this kind of homogenized um standard american english

172

that you're going to hear most of the time on social

173

media you're going to hear on the news you're going to hear in a, in, in like most media, this is becoming more normal.

174

And the only times you're really going to hear these unique accents, like the New York accent or the Boston accent is if you,

175

one, you watch a movie that takes place in that specific kind of culture and place where there's an accent like that,

176

or you are living or you go visit those specific places where there's a lot of people like that.

177

But even, even you could go to New York and Boston.

178

And a lot of people who live in New York

179

and Boston are either not from there or they did not get that accent, right?

180

They just grew up kind of imitating a more neutral accent.

181

So they didn't actually learn to talk like that.

182

So there are these people, they exist and there is media, there are movies and stuff where you can witness these accents,

183

you can experience them, but it is decreasing

184

and it's generally not something you're going to have to encounter most of the time.

185

So it's this video is mostly just for like fun

186

and entertainment and

187

if you're interested it's not really to make you like worried about your english learning journey

188

and like oh no now i have to learn these accents

189

and stuff you don't you don't have to learn to understand these accents

190

if you don't understand these accents is no problem at all

191

you will rarely encounter them it's not an issue um

192

if you want me to do other videos about other u .s accents like southern accents

193

and stuff that would be fun I could do

194

that too I could try to do that

195

but most of the time you just need to focus on

196

standard neutral American English you need to focus on the way

197

that I speak this kind of way this kind of pronunciation

198

that's really the main thing the accent thing is it's French entertainment it's fun to know

199

but it's not it's not really like a big issue it's

200

not really a big concern I think for for students

201

or it shouldn't be so so that's it I hope you enjoyed this video

202

and let me know what you think in the comments

203

and by the way I offer conversation classes

204

if you want to take a conversation class with me

205

and you want to practice talking in standard American English with me I would love to do

206

that so the link is in the comments

207

이번 레슨에서 배울 내용

이 비디오를 통해 미국의 대표적인 액센트인 보스턴 액센트와 뉴욕 액센트의 차이를 분석하고, 표준 미국 영어와의 발음 차이를 알아봅니다. 특히 'r' 발음이 없는 비로틱(Non-rhotic) 특성과 입 모양의 차이를 중점으로 살펴보며, 실제 발음을 따라하는 쉐도잉(shadow speak) 연습에 도움을 줄 것입니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비나 영어 발음 교정에 관심 있는 분들에게 유용한 내용이 포함되어 있습니다.

핵심 어휘 및 표현

Non-rhotic: 'r' 발음을 하지 않는 특성 (예: 보스턴, 뉴욕 액센트)
Water: 표준 발음은 /ˈwɔːtər/, 뉴욕 액센트는 /ˈwɔːdər/, 보스턴 액센트는 더 넓게 발음
Chowder: 클램 차우더(해산물 수프), 보스턴 액센트로 발음 연습하기 좋은 단어
Boroughs: 뉴욕시의 행정 구역 (5개 구)
Shadowing: 발음을 따라하는 연습 방법 (쉐도잉 사이트에서 더 많이 연습할 수 있습니다)

연습 팁: 쉐도잉을 잘 하는 방법

비디오의 속도는 중간 정도이지만, 액센트의 특성상 입 모양을 주의해야 합니다. 뉴욕 액센트는 입을 작게 유지하고, 보스턴 액센트는 입을 넓게 열어 발음하는 것이 핵심입니다. 다음과 같은 단계로 연습해 보세요:

1. 비디오를 2-3번 듣고, 발음의 차이점을 눈으로 확인하세요. 입 모양 변화를 주의 깊게 관찰합니다.
2. 짧은 구절씩 나눠서 쉐도잉(shadow speech) 연습을 합니다. "Water"나 "Chowder"와 같은 단어부터 시작해 보세요.
3. 녹음 기능을 사용해 자신의 발음을 기록하고, 원본과 비교해 영어 발음 교정을 합니다. 'r' 발음이 없는 부분이 자연스러운지 확인합니다.
4. 하루에 10-15분씩 지속적으로 연습하면, IELTS 스피킹에서 자연스러운 발음을 구사할 수 있을 것입니다.

쉐도잉 사이트를 이용해 다양한 액센트를 연습하면 더욱 효과적입니다. 실수는 두려워하지 마세요 - 연습이 발음을 완성시킵니다! 😊

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	somebody who is · people who live
“might / may” 가능성 might/may + 동사 — 가능하지만 확실하지 않은 일	might have · might not be · might say
최상급 the -est / the most … — 집단에서 가장 높거나 낮은 것	the most part · the most common
현재진행 am/is/are + -ing — 지금 또는 요즘 일어나고 있는 일	they're doing · are saying · is also not pronouncing

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.
