Hello everybody, this is Elliot from ETJ English and welcome to this pronunciation lesson.
大家好,我是ETJ English的Elliot,歡迎來到這堂發音課程。
2
Today we're talking about the most common, the most important, and the most amazing sound in the English language.
今天我們要來談談英語裡最常見、最重要也最神奇的一個聲音。
3
And this is my favourite to teach.
而這是我最喜歡教的部分。
4
It's the schwa sound.
這是央元音的發音。
5
Now, do you know what the schwa sound is?
現在,你知道央母音(schwa)是什麼聲音嗎?
6
Can you use it already?
7
If you can, that's okay.
8
But when you learn this, all this information is going to be extremely powerful for you to improve your pronunciation,
9
to sound more like you've been trained by a native British person
10
and you are going to just sound ten times better as an English speaker.
11
So without further ado let's start learning the schwa sound, how we use it and when we use it.
12
So first of all the schwa sound, uh, it's just uh.
13
Now it's a breath out, just follow me one more time.
14
So it sounds a little bit weird when we make it on its own, but when we put it in a word, this is when it sounds great and it sounds really British.
15
So first of all, on its own, we do use this and this is with the letter A
16
when we put it in a sentence
17
so for example yesterday i went to a lesson about history
18
a lesson a lesson okay yesterday i went to a lesson about history
19
did you notice the schwa sound it's on the a a lesson
20
but when we say it naturally it becomes a lesson
21
so we use it with the word a we can also
22
use it with the word of cup of tea cup of tea
23
and that's with an of the of becomes a a cup of tea
24
so now let's move on to the word for
25
and let's say i was asking you what are you doing for christmas this year
26
for christmas what are you doing for christmas this year instantly that will make you sound more british so practice.
27
Practice makes perfect.
28
What are you doing for Christmas?
29
Okay let's move on.
30
So we're going to move on to when we normally use this in real words, big words, okay?
31
Proper words.
32
So first of all we'll use the schwa sound with words that are ending in the r sounds.
33
So for example when I say better, an American might say better.
34
I don't say teacher, I say teacher, teacher.
35
The schwa sound is on the R sound at the end of the word.
36
Teacher, better.
37
Do you kind of understand where I'm coming from now?
38
So we can also use it with unstressed weak syllable sounds.
39
Police, police.
40
Sofa, sofa.
41
The A becomes an A, sofa.
42
The word about, about about
43
so the beginning of the word has now got the schwa
44
sound about i had to call the police yesterday i had
45
to call the police yesterday any vowel sound we can use this schwa sound
46
so let me give you a word with a schwa sound with each vowel
47
so first of all again again the a becomes a schwa
48
problem problem the e becomes a schwa sound president
49
president the i becomes a schwa sound bottom bottom the
50
o becomes a schwa sound album album the u becomes a schwa sound and we can also do it with Y.
51
For example, the word syringe, which has a Y after it, we can say syringe.
52
That's how we say it, syringe.
53
When do we use the schwa sound?
54
We use it with the R sound at the end of a word.
55
We also use it with unstressed weak syllable sounds.
56
We also will use it with any vowel sound.
57
I know it's a lot to taking is a lot of information
58
but it's so simple and all you have to do is practice
59
and the best way to practice is with a native speaker who can correct you.
60
I luckily am a Skype English teacher.
61
I am a professional English and pronunciation teacher.
62
I help you learn English and learn British accents so
63
if you really really want to get that British accent and get
64
that good English sound what you need to do is book
65

背景與上下文

在這段影片中,Elliot分享了關於英語發音中最重要的聲音——舒音(schwa)的知識。舒音是英語中最常用的聲母之一,對於想要提高英語口語水平的學習者來說,掌握舒音至關重要。Elliot解釋了舒音的特點,如何在不同的單詞中使用舒音,以及它對英語發音的影響。

日常交流中的五個常用短語

  • 一堂課: a lesson - “昨天我去上了一堂關於歷史的課。”
  • 一杯茶: a cup of tea - “我想喝一杯茶。”
  • 聖誕節: for Christmas - “你今年聖誕節打算做什麼?”
  • 警察: police - “我昨天打電話給警察。”
  • 問題: problem - “這真是一個麻煩的問題。”

逐步模仿指導

要熟練掌握舒音,尤其是在日常交流中,進行步驟性的模仿練習是非常必要的。以下是幾個具體的步驟,幫助你在看YouTube學英語時加速學習:

  1. 聽音習慣: 首先,反覆聽Elliot的影片,尤其注意他如何發音舒音。關注每個例子中舒音的發音,儘量模仿他的口吻和節奏。
  2. 重複跟讀: 在聽的同時,嘗試跟隨說話。無論是“a lesson”還是“a cup of tea”,不斷重讀,增強對舒音的敏感度。這個過程也是雅思口語練習的好方法。
  3. 錄音對比: 用手機錄下自己的朗讀,並與影片中的發音進行對比。通過這種方式,你可以清楚地聽到自己與原音的差別,從而進一步調整。
  4. 應用自我模仿: 嘗試將這些短語融入到你的日常對話中,實踐時務必關注舒音的使用。你可以問朋友“你聖誕節有什麼安排?” 傾聽他們的回答並練習反問。
  5. 持續反思: 定期回顧影片,注意在不同單詞中使用舒音的變化,這對提升英語口語練習能力非常有幫助。

通過上述的逐步模仿指導,學習者能夠更輕鬆地掌握舒音。結合shadow speech的方法,你會迅速提高英語發音的準確性和流利度。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:

結構影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事you've been trained · it's been
最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的the most common · the best
動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞start learning · start making
現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事we're talking · are you doing · are ending

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
