Hello everybody, Elliot here from ETJ English.

Всем привет, это Эллиот из ETJ English.

Today I'm here to give you some guidance on how to learn pronunciation.

The reason why is because, well, when I speak to most of my students, my subscribers, their biggest problem is never what they're doing,

it's more how they're doing it and why they're doing it.

These are the questions we need to ask before we try to improve or change our pronunciation, our accent, and take it seriously.

The first thing I want you to ask yourself, I want you to write this question down, ask yourself this question and give yourself some answers.

Why am I trying to change my accent or why am I trying to improve my pronunciation?

Are you an actor?

Are you trying to improve for an audition, for a performance, for a movie?

If that's the case, intense sessions are going to be very important.

You're not trying to permanently change your accent every time you open your mouth.

Instead, you want to be able to switch.

You want to be able to just change to the British accent or whatever accent it is when you need it.

So the way you learn would be different to someone who, for example, is trying to permanently change their accent.

So this leads on to my second category, the British accent, or let's say the accent fanatic.

Are you a huge fan of RP?

Are you a huge fan of American English?

Do you just want that accent?

Do you want to be able to just open your mouth

and have muscle memory and just produce the sounds

that make you sound like you're a modern RP speaker or whatever type of speaker you want to be?

This is the more long -term kind of goal, and it will be something you'd be working on for, yeah, a very long time, but it obviously is the most rewarding,

especially if you have a huge passion, a lust for this accent.

It's amazing when I see my students slowly change each sound, sound by sound, they slowly gain more of this accent

and they create the muscle memory and it's a really fascinating thing to watch

and to help with

and the third category is someone who is just trying to

improve for accent reduction maybe you have some thick sounds in your accent

or some really annoying sounds that bother you sounds or techniques

which make it difficult for your listener to follow what you're

saying maybe they always have to say sorry what was

that what did you say

and this can get really annoying it can affect communication it can affect friendships

and that's why we would need accent reduction reducing the problematic sounds in your accent so that you can communicate better

this is something we need to do before we do anything but you can just stop at accent reduction

you don't have to do more after the accent reduction you could then work on the british accent

or work on a whatever accent.

The second question I want you to ask yourself before we start going into the techniques is what accent do you like?

Do you love modern received pronunciation?

My accent, the accent I teach.

Do you adore a particular American accent or do you like the Australian accent?

Do you like an accent from Edinburgh?

Do you like the Scouse accent?

What accent do you love?

Oh and I'm so sorry to all the snowflakes out there

if I didn't mention your accent today i know this may have ruined your day

and you may want to write a very angry comment below but i'm

so sorry i just can't mention every accent in this video all i want to say is choose your favorite

and don't just think oh everybody loves this accent

so i'm going to pick this one what accent do you

like tell me in the comments below i'd love to know all the different accents you like

so now we need to talk about the methods how are

you going to approach your learning how you going to start improving the first thing to understand is

that learning english is different to learning pronunciation learning english is

more about your brain about memory remembering grammar remembering vocabulary remembering

rules right pronunciation is muscle based it's just like learning to

play the guitar you have to keep practicing until you remember

you know you're looking okay I need to do this I need to do this

and then eventually oh I can do this without looking oh I can close my eyes

and I can play this song we are training your muscles to remember things muscle memory

so the more you practice the more your muscles start to get comfortable so

because of this we don't want to do long two -hour sessions on pronunciation training for acting that's quite good

but if we're trying to permanently change the accent

or trying to produce some muscle memory it's more important to do short sessions throughout the day So,

for example, you could do 10 minutes of practice just speaking, focusing on one sound or one technique while you're in the shower.

Maybe you could work on your intonation whilst reading a book to your child

or reading a book in the morning to yourself.

Read it out loud and practice your intonation or one vowel sound

or something you're working on right now maybe in the evening

before you go to bed just create some sentences in your mind

and just say them to yourself in the mirror however you

want to practice find what works for you make sure you

also incorporate some listening practice listen to tv shows podcasts

and focus on that one thing that you're working on whichever sound it may be

or whichever technique and imitate the person you're listening to

so short sessions throughout the day to work on your muscle

memory the most important two words in this learning process muscle memory firstly is your accent stress timed

or is it syllable timed i won't explain what this means today

but english is a stress timed language which means the way

that we speak is very different to those who have syllable timing in their speech.

We have important words and we make them more obvious and the less important words are more relaxed.

This can be a big thing to learn for people who have syllable time languages such as Italian or Spanish speakers.

Is your language tonal like Mandarin

or Thai where you change the tone on a word and it will change what the word is, whereas in English what we do is we change the tone and it changes the feeling.

We can sound happy, sad, confused, we can sound excited, sarcastic, like we're asking a question, and we do all of this with our intonation.

You know, I could say, really?

Or I could say, really?

Changing the tone will change the effect.

Is this something that you're not so sure about?

Okay, intonation is something you also need to work on for accent reduction.

Look at the vowels in your language.

Are there any vowels in your accent which are the same in let's say modern RP which you're learning.

Compare the phonetics in your language to the language you're learning.

Usually there will be some phonetics in British English

which are very very different or not even included in your native accent

so those would be ones you will definitely want to look at.

Compare them, look for differences and similarities.

So once you've looked at all of these differences you now need to start working on things.

Where to start?

100

Well stress and intonation this is like your foundation this is where you begin building okay

101

so imagine a big skyscraper we're building a huge massive skyscraper

102

but if the bottom the foundation the thing

103

which holds the whole building together is not strong enough everything

104

will collapse stress is your foundation it's your rock it's what will make people understand you the most even

105

if you're pronouncing loads of vowel sounds wrong

106

if you are stressing correctly it will make it easier for

107

your listener to understand you intonation in particular is best improved with listening practice

108

so listen to podcasts tv shows radio youtube videos

109

and just listen for the tones listen to the ways they go up

110

and down and if you're taking a course or you're learning with the teacher, you'll know why they are going up and down, changing their tones on different words.

111

If not, just train your ear to start kind of picking it up.

112

It's like a song you hear on the radio.

113

The more you hear it, the more it gets stuck in your head and you start just singing it without realizing.

114

That's what intonation is.

115

It's just something you pick up from people around you and the things you listen to.

116

So immerse yourself in the accent and pick up the tones.

117

When it comes to sounds, I strongly recommend you work on one at a time.

118

So you could start with the schwa sound, which is one of the most important sounds to British English.

119

Uh, in words like about or teacher. And practice it.

120

Find loads of words with it.

121

Find lists of words with it.

122

Do listening practice and listen.

123

Every time you think you hear the schwa sound, check in the dictionary. Does it?

124

Fantastic.

125

Add it to your list.

126

Okay? and then start making a big list practicing sentences

127

and words involving the schwa sound think about this sound everywhere you go when you're talking to someone

128

only focus on that one sound

129

and this is why i say only one sound at a time because

130

if you're focusing on too many sounds at once there's too

131

much to think about the language the vocabulary the grammar

132

and loads of sounds no that's not going to help you improve keep that one sound

133

as the one thing you're working on it's your whole life

134

and it's all you're thinking about when you speak apart from the words obviously

135

and then you can stop pause correct yourself don't be afraid to correct yourself

136

and slowly the more you correct yourself and think about

137

that sound you'll notice

138

that your body starts to kind of produce the sound for you you've trained your muscles now

139

so now you can move on to another sound remember we're starting with accent reduction

140

So maybe focus on the sounds you have the biggest problems with.

141

Of course, you can compare maybe two sounds at the same time.

142

Let's say you've spent some time working on the a sound, but you find you often pronounce it as e, because that's one of your issues.

143

You might have a problem with had and head, man and men.

144

Well, if that is the case, start comparing the two sounds.

145

Create loads of minimal pair lists where you have these words, man, men, sand, send, and create some sentences look out for these sounds

146

when you're speaking correct yourself as I said slowly make your

147

way through the sounds brick by brick in this skyscraper

148

which we're slowly building taller

149

and taller very slowly one of my favorite things to explain

150

to my students is to use your ears your eyes

151

and your brain

152

when you practice ears listening practice listen to everything spend 10

153

minutes 20 minutes some point in your day just listening to a podcast don't think about anything just think about

154

that one sound that you're working on write down check in the dictionary create lists make sentences

155

and then practice eyes reading practice maybe

156

when you're reading a book in the evening before bed

157

or you're reading a web page a news page

158

and the first time you read maybe read it for pleasure just read it

159

because you want to read it then read it a second time

160

and just look for the one sound or the one thing you're working on.

161

Maybe it's where the stress should be.

162

Maybe it's where you could put some intonation.

163

Maybe it's the ah sound or the ih sound.

164

Just look for that sound and use the dictionary.

165

Have it online next to you.

166

Cambridge Dictionary, I recommend.

167

Search for the word.

168

See if it has that sound in it.

169

Okay, create your big list.

170

Brain.

171

Think about words or phrases you use a lot in your daily life do they have this sound

172

or this technique in it fantastic practice it perfect it think

173

about common words you say a lot make sentences with them

174

or just look in the mirror and talk to yourself just speak freely

175

because when we're reading our intonation is different so we do need

176

that free speech practice as well where we sound more natural more conversational this is why there are

177

so many pronunciation courses available not just mine you can look for whichever one you want

178

but if you like me you like my accent i have a course available

179

and the reason why it's had such great reviews is

180

because of the fact that you have all of the learning content

181

which you can watch whenever you want right you can just watch a lesson

182

and then okay i've watched this lesson now it's time to practice okay

183

so you have all of the material you can watch the

184

lesson again you don't have to wait for a skype lesson

185

or you don't have to wait for a private lesson

186

but the other bonus is

187

that you can contact me with voice messages to get corrections whenever you want

188

so your teacher is there to correct you whenever that's the

189

key okay the key is to have constant correction to have

190

constant guidance oh your tongue's a bit too high oh your tongue's a bit too low we need

191

that and there's not enough time in a short lesson to to do that and to wait every week for.

192

So that's why I stopped teaching on Skype.

193

I started off by teaching on Skype and it was great.

194

I met some great people, but the improvement was too slow and I knew I could make my students learn faster.

195

So not just my course, there are other courses available.

196

There are apps available where you can actually talk to people.

197

I think there's one called Hello Talk.

198

They're not sponsoring this video, but I use them for learning Spanish.

199

And you can send voice recordings to people who are native

200

and they could maybe tell you oh that doesn't sound right you know

201

if you tell them

202

that you're working on your pronunciation then they'll give you a few corrections on

203

that and i highly recommend that if you're also learning english you treat

204

that separate so you learn english

205

and then you learn pronunciation separately just like learning spanish

206

and maths two different subjects they need to be learned separately ideally

207

so that's about it hopefully this gives you more of an

208

idea of how pronunciation learning works maybe some methods you could take

209

so thank you very much for watching don't forget you can

210

join my course by clicking the link in the description go

211

to etjenglish .com i'd be happy to welcome you on the course

212

if you have any questions please post them in the comment

213

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
