1
So your English is good.
2
You have vocabulary, you have some grammar
3
and maybe you like to throw in a cheeky phrasal verb or an idiom here and there.
4
That's great.
5
But still people are saying, huh?
6
What?
7
What did you say?
8
I completely understand.
9
Don't worry.
10
I am told this by people every day.
11
Today I have three simple steps I want you to follow
12
just to begin your journey to a more structured approach to
13
learning pronunciation instead of watching just loads of random videos
14
and not really knowing where you're going it's so much better to follow an actual structure
15
when you learn pronunciation right i had this issue
16
when i was learning the guitar i just watched loads of random youtube videos
17
and i was getting nowhere until i started following a structured approach whether
18
that was created by myself or by a teacher it just made
19
so much more sense and i could feel myself slowly growing
20
and building muscle memory this is what pronunciation is it's all about muscle memory building
21
so we're not revising for an exam we're trying to train our mind
22
and our mouth to make a connection to start doing things without having to think about them
23
but it all starts by identifying what your problems are
24
so hopefully i can help you find those problems
25
and give you these steps which can set you off in the right direction.
26
After you've thought about the why and the when and the how, you know, do I want a British accent or do I just want some accent reduction?
27
Do I want a bit of both?
28
You know, think about those things first, but then we'll go straight into step one.
29
This will always be my step one, stress.
30
This is literally communication.
31
So when you are talking to people in your day -to -day life, you have to make sure as much as you can that you're stressing the right words.
32
If we take the word banana for example, if you already know where the stressed syllable is, great.
33
If you don't, banana.
34
Where am I putting more effort?
35
Where is my energy?
36
Banana.
37
Banana.
38
It's na.
39
Banana.
40
That's where the stressed syllable is.
41
Every word is made up of syllables and there will always be one syllable
42
which has a bit more of a bit more of a push right
43
and this is what makes the word clear and understandable
44
so first make sure that you know how syllable stress works make sure you're not saying banana
45
or about instead of banana about
46
and i really encourage you to start building a list of
47
words you use a lot in your day -to -day life
48
and then also a list of what we call high frequency words words
49
which we use a lot which you can go through
50
and make sure
51
that you're stressing the correct syllable keep this list it will
52
be useful later on now we have the syllable stress the next step is putting these words into sentences
53
and making sentence stress this is the final part of step one kind of
54
so just like in a word where we have one important
55
part of it a stress syllable in every sentence we have important words.
56
Words which give context.
57
Words which tell the story.
58
Words which actually give the listener something they need to hear so they know what you're saying.
59
Did you hear me just then?
60
I said need to hear.
61
Need hear.
62
Those were the important words.
63
Now what did I do with the word to?
64
Need to hear.
65
I pronounced it as to.
66
That's because nobody gives up.
67
Calm down Elliot nobody cares about the word to.
68
This is called a function word or a grammar word and what we do is we relax it.
69
We make it softer, we make it more relaxed, we kind of camouflage it so that the listener doesn't really need to hear it
70
and we can make the stressed words more obvious.
71
This will improve your rhythm, this will improve the speed at which you speak and this is my favourite part.
72
When my students have been working on this in the course after a little while, I usually get a WhatsApp voice message from them saying,
73
Elliot, I can't believe how much my confidence has improved when I speak English,
74
simply because of rethinking the way that sentence stress works and understanding what I need to give to my listener.
75
So stress the right syllables and stress the right words in your sentence.
76
Now, there are other things.
77
Sometimes a sentence will have a primary stressed word so one word
78
which needs even more of a
79
and then of course we have intonation we won't go into
80
that today but just know
81
that intonation my best way of explaining it is it's a bit like adding color to a black
82
and white painting
83
so it adds emotion sarcasm confidence many different things step two maybe you guessed it it's the sounds
84
so there are many ways of working out what sounds you have problems with.
85
The first step might be just thinking about your native accent, your native language.
86
Do you have any really strong sounds in your accent?
87
Maybe you're Italian and you roll your R's.
88
Maybe you have one of the most famous problems, which is pronouncing the I sound as an E, and you say sit instead of sit.
89
Or the opposite way round, where instead of saying sheet, you say .
90
I've only talked about vowels.
91
Remember, we have diphthongs, O, ow.
92
We also have consonants.
93
The th sound, for example.
94
Maybe you don't have enough muscle memory.
95
Sometimes you do a th like in think, but then maybe sometimes you say duh instead of the.
96
You have to look at the things which are either because of your native accent or habits that you've built.
97
As well as that, think about times when people have not been able to understand you.
98
Is it because of the way that you pronounced a word?
99
Well, what part of that word was wrong? what part of that word did you pronounce incorrectly?
100
Maybe you have a problem with that sound.
101
Of course, the easiest way to find out is by working with a professional, but obviously if you can't work with a professional, you just have to do a bit of extra work by yourself.
102
And my step three is something that so many people get excited about, so much so that they rush to it.
103
They try and work on it before they improve step one and step two, and that's connected speech.
104
Connected speech is how we join our words together.
105
For example, if you showed me something you created and I said, I love it, that would sound a bit robotic.
106
So instead I would say, I love it.
107
I love it.
108
I'm joining the consonant v at the end of the word love to the vowel at the beginning of the word it.
109
This is called linking.
110
And what I'm doing is connecting my speech.
111
I love it get it get out get in get on
112
great way to practice is with phrasal verbs just remember
113
that consonants love vowels
114
if there's a consonant at the end of a word it would love to join over
115
and give that vowel a big hug but vowels hate each other
116
if you have a word that ends with a vowel
117
and the next word begins with a vowel for example we are we're going to create a consonant to create the peace.
118
So instead of saying we are, we are, we are.
119
This is called an intrusive sound.
120
We're creating a yod, a y sound, to join the two vowels together, joining the words together.
121
So they can be at peace and love each other.
122
If only the world was as simple as this.
123
We need more consonants in the world.
124
Where are the Germans when you need them with all of their consonants?
125
We have other parts of connected speech which I haven't talked about today, but I could be here all day.
126
That's whole chapter in my course, just remember that the most basic and kind of beginner part of connected speech would be linking and intrusive sounds.
127
Now everything I've said so far you can probably do after a bit of practice just by reading things.
128
You have to really focus on what's happening and what the word looks like, but how do you start putting it into your day -to -day speech?
129
There are a number of different ways, I mean you could start trying to speak more freely, maybe just focus on one vowel sound
130
and record your voice do a journal at the end of
131
your day talk about your day talk about the people you
132
met how you're feeling this is really good for your mental health as well
133
but you can also practice your pronunciation at the same time as well as this writing down
134
and remembering phrases sentences you use a lot in your day -to -day life for example
135
when you order a coffee
136
when you talk to a friend write down these frequently used things
137
that you say whether it's a list of words
138
and then a list of sentences or whatever and just practice saying them
139
because the more you practice that sound or
140
that form of connected speech you have problems with the more
141
it's going to start kind of moving into your free speech as well
142
so the goal is to build muscle memory through lots of practice both conscious practice
143
and practice when you're speaking freely as well
144
so make sure you're just focusing on one thing at a time you need a step by step approach
145
and don't forget every part of the accent every sound every
146
aspect is a journey for you there will be some things
147
that just take a little bit longer to fix than others the other problem is it's hard to know
148
if you're doing things right or wrong is your tongue in the right place
149
and all of that stuff
150
so sometimes you just need a bit of feedback now that's
151
where I could come in I do have a pronunciation course
152
which you can join and it includes daily whatsapp support
153
and feedback and guidance so you can send me voice messages whether that's conversation questions
154
or just practicing some things from the course
155
and i will of course correct you and do all of
156
that stuff so head down to the link below
157

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
