1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today I'd like to look at the intonation in the short piece about a sales meeting.
4
Let's take a look.
5
I just wanted to let you know that the meeting went really well.
6
I just wanted, I just wanted to.
7
So two here gets reduced because it's a function word.
8
And the same thing happens later on with that the.
9
I just wanted to let you know that the, that the, that the meeting went really well.
10
We have a rise
11
and a fall right at the end of the sentence really
12
well really well she said they're ready to commit to the deal we talked about in the email
13
so the important part of the next sentence is the deal
14
we talked about in the email the deal we talked about in the email
15
so in the normally gets reduced
16
because it's also function words right in the our function words
17
but about in the email about in the email talked about email.
18
We need to go between the rise in talked about and the fall in email.
19
We're falling on email because it's the last word of the sentence, but talked about is a very important part of the sentence's meaning.
20
She said they're ready to commit to the deal we talked about in the email.
21
Commit to the deal is another really important part, so we stress both of those words.
22
Commit to the deal.
23
It's going to be a two-year contract.
24
It's going to be a two-year contract.
25
Two-year contract.
26
So two-year modifies contract.
27
And for that reason, two-year is spoken in a higher tone.
28
A two-year contract, just like we were hoping for.
29
Hoping for.
30
Just like we were hoping for.
31
That's the end of the sentence, and it's kind of good news.
32
So you have a little bit more energy when you're saying this.
33
Just like we were hoping for.
34
Just like we were hoping for.
35
A rise and a fall near the end of the sentence.
36
I already wrote up the contract with the new pricing.
37
New pricing.
38
So new is spoken with a higher tone because it modifies pricing.
39
And the rest of it is I already wrote up the contract, wrote up the, wrote up the contract.
40
I already wrote up the contract with the new pricing.
41
The and with the have low tones because they're not that important.
42
They're just grammar function words.
43
So once you take a look, I'll send it over to them.
44
I'll send it over to them.
45
So once you take a look, I'll send it over to them.
46
There's kind of a contrast in this part of the sentence.
47
Once this happens, then this happens.
48
Once you take a look, I'll send it over to them.
49
So we have a rise and a fall near the end of the sentence again.
50
I just wanted to let you know that the meeting went really well.
51
She said they're ready to commit to the deal we talked about in the email.
52
It's going to be a two-year contract just like we were hoping for.
53
I already wrote up the contract with the new pricing, so once you take a look I'll send it over to them.

Dicas de Prática

Para maximizar seu aprendizado, recomendamos que você utilize a técnica shadow speak ou shadowspeak. Isso envolve escutar atentamente o áudio, seja da lição ou do vídeo, e tentar replicar o que você ouve em tempo real. Preste atenção especial à velocidade e à entonação. A prática deve ser feita de forma que você consiga imitar as subidas e descidas de tom nas frases, especialmente nas partes onde a ênfase é crucial.

Comece devagar e aumente a velocidade à medida que se sentir mais confortável. Uma excelente dica é focar em frases curtas e repetir várias vezes até que você se sinta à vontade. Além disso, utilize um shadowing site para praticar com exercícios que coloquem você em situações de fala realistas. Com a prática consistente, sua fluência e habilidade de comunicação em inglês melhorarão significativamente.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
