1
If you would like to improve your accent when you're speaking English,
2
in this video, I'm going to give you a very important tip that will definitely transform your accent.
3
You cannot neglect the melody of English.
4
Even if you're pronouncing all of the individual words and the consonant and the vowel sounds correctly,
5
but you're not paying attention to the rhythm and the melody of your words,
6
your speech is going to sound choppy and unnatural.
7
And you even might sound less fluent.
8
In this video, I will teach you the secret to having a better accent and sounding more like a native speaker.
9
I will also teach you some common everyday expressions that native speakers use.
10
And I will teach you how to say them with the perfect American accent.
11
And even if you prefer a British accent,
12
this video will also help you.
13
One of the fastest ways to reduce your foreign accent is for you to focus on these three things,
14
word stress, word reduction, and connecting words,
15
not pausing between thought groups.
16
In this lesson, we will focus on word reduction.
17
This is such an important topic,
18
and it's not commonly taught in English classes.
19
Maybe you've already thought about word stress,
20
or maybe you've watched lessons on word stress,
21
but have you thought about word reduction?
22
That That topic is just as important as word stress for having a natural sounding and a native sounding flow.
23
Native speakers don't pronounce every word clearly and fully.
24
If you don't reduce some words in your sentences,
25
your speech will sound choppy and robotic.
26
You will speak like this with each word stressed the same way.
27
Please pass the salt and pepper.
28
Hello, I'm Mike.
29
I am a robot.
30
I am here to serve you.
31
How can I help you?
32
When we reduce words, the vowel sounds almost disappear.
33
They become the schwa sound.
34
It's the uh sound.
35
And the consonants are also sometimes eliminated.
36
Let's look at this pronoun.
37
You have probably learned that the pronunciation is our.
38
But let's listen to how native speakers are saying our house,
39
our children, and our school.
40
Listen carefully.
41
And so we had tons of people over to our house.
42
There's hospice at our house happen to our house.
43
We have to talk to our children about it.
44
The sort of planet we're going to leave behind for our children and grandchildren.
45
But to really ingrain within our school.
46
Notice that the O and the U are reduced.
47
They're not saying ow, they're saying uh.
48
It becomes a schwa sound.
49
Our house.
50
This is our house.
51
Let's practice that together.
52
Repeat after me.
53
This is our house us.
54
Do you like our new car?
55
You say it.
56
They're our friends.
57
So, they are our friends sounds very similar to they're our friends.
58
Remember, in natural sounding speech,
59
pronouns are reduced, and they're connected to the words around them.
60
For special emphasis, we make an exception,
61
and we don't reduce the pronoun.
62
This is ours.
63
It's not yours.
64
It's ours.
65
But otherwise,
66
we would simply say this is our house this is our
67
car let's talk about the two ways to pronounce the conjunction
68
and in the strong form it's pronounced as and
69
but it's usually not pronounced that way in most situations you can pronounce it
70
that way only in these cases when you need to speak especially slowly
71
or when you're pausing to think for example i would like to order a sandwich and a salad.
72
Or when you want to emphasize the fact that there's another thing.
73
For example, you had pasta and pizza?
74
You speak Italian and Japanese?
75
Otherwise we say and in its weak form and it sounds like this.
76
The A becomes a schwa sound and the D disappears.
77
Let's practice.
78
Black and white.
79
Black and white.
80
We wouldn't say black and white.
81
and eggs.
82
Bacon and eggs.
83
Connect all of those three words and say them as one.
84
Don't pause.
85
Let's say that again.
86
Bacon and eggs.
87
These words are one unit and they belong together.
88
Now it's your turn.
89
How would you say these words?
90
You say them.
91
In-N-Out.
92
I went to In-N-Out.
93
Have you ever gone to In-N-Out Burgers in California?
94
It's a really popular place.
95
How would we say this?

106
Husband and wife.
107
I didn't say husband and wife.
108
That D disappeared.
109
And wife.
110
It's just a little N.
111
And wife.
112
Husband and wife.
113
Are they husband and wife?
114

115

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.
