1
Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today we're going to look at the intonation patterns in a short piece where I'm answering the question,
4
describe an important food in your country.
5
Let's take a look.
6
In the U.S., I would say corn is the most important crop.
7
In the U.S., in the U.S.,
8
so this is interesting, it's the topic of the whole sentence.
9
In the U.S., in the U.S.,
10
we're starting our answer to the question,
11
so I'm using a high tone,
12
and I'm rising because it's a comma.
13
In the U.S., I would say,
14
in the US, I would say,
15
we have these rising tones here,
16
and then corn gets a falling tone.
17
That's our answer.
18
In the US, I would say corn.
19
I would say corn.
20
I would say corn is the most important crop.
21
And now hear those stresses at the end there.
22
Most important crop.
23
I would say corn is the most important crop.
24
Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived.
25
Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived.
26
So these words were and before get low and kind of unstressed tones.
27
And the word of thousands of years,
28
it kind of gets a very low tone too,
29
except it's in this phrase,
30
thousands of years, thousands of years,
31
thousands of years, and so it has to follow these other words.
32
Normally a word like of gets a very reduced tone because it's just a function word.
33
It doesn't have much meaning in the sentence except for the grammar information that it gives you.
34
Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived, arrived.
35
Remember, even though this is a long sentence,
36
we have to keep going up with every comma.
37
We can't finish the sentence here at the word arrived because there's still more in the sentence.
38
Thousands of years before Europeans arrived,
39
and now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
40
Now everyone in the world, everyone in the world.
41
We have that long phrase,
42
and that's the most important part of this section of the sentence.
43
Now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
44
Now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
45
Sometimes.
46
Sometimes.
47
I'm kind of rising at the end of this sentence,
48
which is an unusual pattern for a declarative sentence that ends in a period.
49
Now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
50
Eats corn sometimes.
51
That's just kind of showing you that I'm still adding more information later.
52
It is the end of the sentence,
53
and I'm going a little bit lower.
54
I'm not saying world sometimes, right?
55
I'm not as high as world when I say sometimes,
56
but I'm still not finished with my idea.
57
Everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
58
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
59
now I'm continuing my idea right,
60
so that's why I had to stay high with the tone on sometimes.
61
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
62
and we use it to feed lots of animals too.
63
So here we're kind of contrasting.
64
There's two sections to this sentence.
65
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
66
rise, rise, rise, rise, rise,
67
and we use it to feed lots of animals too.
68
Fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall.
69
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
70
and we use it feed lots of animals too.
71
Animals too.
72
Some stress points there at the end of the sentence.
73
Corn or something made from corn is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
74
Corn or something made from corn,
75
rising tones there before our commas.
76
Corn or something made from corn,
77
made from corn, and made gets a little bit of a extra stress here
78
because we're contrasting slightly corn or something made from corn,
79
two different things, right?
80
A or B is in a lot of foods.
81
Corn or something made from corn is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
82
A lot of foods people don't even realize.
83
Now here I don't give these words strong falling tones,
84
they're not strongly stressed, I'm just kind of using a lower
85
and kind of gently going down tone to illustrate that it's the end of my idea.
86
Corn or something made from corn is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
87
Is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.
88
So the word foods I could say with a kind of a higher floating tone
89
or give it a little bit of a stress.
90
Both are fine.
91
A lot of of foods people don't even realize.
92
A lot of foods people don't even realize.
93
In the US, I would say corn is the most important crop.
94
Native Americans were growing corn thousands of years before Europeans arrived,
95
and now everyone in the world eats corn sometimes.
96
We make oil and sugar out of corn,
97
and we use it to feed lots of animals too.
98
Corn, or something made from corn,
99
is in a lot of foods people don't even realize.

Dicas de Prática

Para aproveitar ao máximo o seu aprendizado, experimente a técnica de shadowing ao assistir a vídeos do YouTube. No caso deste vídeo de entonação, procure imitar a forma como Alex fala, prestando atenção na velocidade e nas mudanças de tom. Aqui estão algumas dicas:

  • Repita em voz alta: Ao ouvir as frases, repita-as em voz alta logo após o locutor. Isso ajudará a melhorar sua pronúncia em inglês e a entender os padrões rítmicos da fala.
  • Atenção à entonação: Note como o tom da voz sobe e desce. Use esta técnica para praticar shadow speech, focando em como as palavras são enfatizadas e o contexto em que aparecem.
  • Exercícios com a pontuação: Preste atenção nas pausas e pontuações. Por exemplo, quando Alex usa uma vírgula, o tom sobe; quando chega ao final de uma frase, o tom geralmente desce. Isso ajudará a organizar suas próprias respostas.
  • Cadência e ritmo: Caso tenha dificuldade em acompanhar a velocidade, diminua a reprodução do vídeo. Isso permitirá que você se concentre na pronúncia e na entonação, melhorando assim sua habilidade de aprender inglês com YouTube.

Lembre-se, a prática constante e a atenção à entonação são essenciais para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês. Aproveite as aulas de shadowing em inglês para se tornar um falante mais confiante!

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.
