In this American English pronunciation video, we'll go for a hike in Colorado.
2
My dad and I discuss the hike, and we'll talk about interesting pronunciations and vocabulary words that come up in real English conversation.
3
This hike is called Chihuahua Gulch.
4
Chihuahua.
5
Have you heard this word before?
6
It's a teeny tiny breed of dog.
7
The spelling is pretty strange in American English because this word comes to us from Spanish.
8
The breed originated in Mexico.
9
This hike is called Chihuahua Gulch, and it's about seven miles round trip.
10
Round trip.
11
The opposite of this phrase is one way.
12
So when you go somewhere and come back, that's round trip.
13
Notice how the D is dropped.
14
Round trip.
15
We often drop the D when it comes between two other consonants.
16
Round trip.
17
round trip.
18
It's about seven miles round trip and it goes up about 1900 feet.
19
So this hike ends at a lake Yeah, you go, you start off going uphill about,
20
30 minutes then you go through this long valley and Notice how my dad really stretches out the word 'long'.
21
Why does he do that?
22
When we want to really stress words, we make them longer.
23
And you might do that especially with the word long, making it longer for dramatic purposes.
24
Long valley.
25
That took a long time.
26
That test was so long.
27
Through this long valley with a lot of gorse and little lakes and-- Gorse.
28
Hmm, do you know that word?
29
I didn't either.
30
Let's find out what it means.
31
With a lot of gorse and little lakes and little streams.
32
Gorse.
33
Gorse are these bushes.
34
Oh, I didn't know that.
35
And you sort of go to the end of the trees and where the Jeep Road ends.
36
Did you understand what he said there?
37
He called this road a "Jeep Road." So a jeep is a really rugged vehicle that has a high clearance.
38
That is a lot of room between the ground and the bottom of a car.
39
you would not be able to drive a regular car on this road.
40
Where the Jeep road ends, and then it's just a single path, and you end up at a mountain lake.
41
And you said mountain lake, eh, you seen one, you seen them all?
42
Eh, you seen one, you seen them all.
43
This is a phrase you might use to say that something isn't special.
44
Now the full grammatically correct pronunciation of this phrase would be: If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
45
But that's not how we pronounce it.
46
We like to reduce things in American English, especially familiar words and phrases.
47
And this is a familiar known phrase.
48
You've seen one, you've seen them all.
49
We drop the word if.
50
We reduce you've to just yip.
51
and we reduce them to um.
52
Yaseen.
53
Seen him.
54
You've seen one, you've seen them all.
55
Another scenario where you may use this.
56
Do you want to visit Paris?
57
Nah, I'm not that into cities.
58
You seen one, you seen them all.
59
Eh, you seen one, you seen them all?
60
A lot of them are pretty similar.
61
A lot of them.
62
my dad also reduced them to 'um'.
63
This is a really common reduction, just like in the phrase, you seen one, you seen them all.
64
Thank you.
65
a lot of them.
66
A lot of them.
67
Practice that with me out loud, smoothly connecting all the words.
68
A lot of them.
69
A lot of them.
70
A lot of them are pretty similar.
71
But you do have a great view.
72
You can see a long way out over the.. a couple of different mountain ranges.
73
A couple of different mountain ranges.
74
My dad reduced the word 'of' to just the schwa.
75
a A cupola.
76
We do this so much in conversation,
77
especially with this phrase: A couple of a couple of different mountain ranges and the lake itself is probably probably.
78
This is how we pronounce probably most of the time in conversation.
79
You can do it too.
80
It simplifies the word and makes it easier to say.
81
Try it now.
82
Probably.
83
Probably.
84
probably itself is probl and maybe 200 by 400.
85
Does Thank you.
86
I did see somebody swimming there once.
87
Very cold.
88
It'd be ice cold.
89
It'd be really cold.
90
Listen to the different ways we describe how cold it is.
91
Very cold.
92
Ice cold.
93
It'd be really cold.
94
Really cold.
95
ice cold, very cold.
96
Really and...
97
"very" are words we use before adjectives to say there's a lot of something.
98
really cold.
99
very cold a high amount of coldness.
100
Ice cold is another great way to describe something being very cold.
101
Now, this lake is not ice, it's water.
102
It's very cold water.
103
So describing it as ice cold is an exaggeration, a hyperbole.
104
I know it's not actually ice.
105
I know it's just extremely cold water.
106
Very cold.
107
Ice cold.
108
It'd be really cold.
109
I had no temptation to do that.
110
Yeah, I don't think I will either.
111
But this is just You can't design a better day.
112
There's not much wind, hardly any clouds.
113
Cool, but not cold.
114
- It's nice.
115
- And this time of year, you have a lot of aspen turning yellow.
116
- This time of year, Another example of reducing the word 'of' to just the schwa in natural conversation.
117
this time of year.
118
- It's nice.
119
- And this time of year, you have a lot of aspen turning yellow, and these bushes, I mean, they would be green in the summer.
120
Yeah, it looks awesome.
121
I mean I love I love the view.
122
I Yeah.
123
sweeping views.
124
And we have seen Uh...
125
wildlife along here.
126
Yeah.
127
Just a couple hundred yards down once there were four moose.
128
Moose.
129
These animals are fairly rare to see in the wild.
130
One other time when I was in Colorado, we saw one.
131
Click here or in the video description to see that video.
132
There were four moose grazing right by the path.
133
Further down yet, we saw a herd of maybe 10 or 15 antelope.
134
- Wow.
135
- Galloping along, you often see deer.
136
you often see.
137
My dad reduced you to y.
138
changing the vowel to the schwa.
139
This is also a common reduction.
140
Why do we do this?
141
because in American English, the contrast between stressed and unstressed syllables is really important.
142
So if we can make unstressed syllables even shorter by changing something, then we do that you often see.
143
You often see deer up here
144
and then on the rocks you can see marmots sometime and pica which are little tiny animals like that and they squeak.
145
How many times have you done this hike?
146
Probably five or six.
147
Probably.
148
there's another probably to probably reduction.
149
Probably five or six.
150
And to me, it's the most scenic hike around here, especially in September.
151
Scenic.
152
This is a great word you can use to describe a beautiful landscape.
153
Scenic.
154
Scenic.
155
To me it's the most scenic hike around here, especially in September, because the aspen are turning yellow and a lot of these bushes are turning red.
156
June, July, It's just the water is too high.
157
You'd have to take off your shoes and put on sandals and just wade through.
158
So usually we wait till August or September to do this one.
159
Wade.
160
This is what you do when you're walking through water.
161
So you're not swimming, you're walking like through a creek.
162
If the water is too deep, then you can't wade.
163
You have to swim.
164
Take off your shoes and put on sandals and just wade through.
165
Here is David walking over the creek that Dad says you have to wade through when the water is higher.
166
We didn't make it to the top.
167
Yeah, but we got to a good turning around point.
168
And we had a fantastic view.
169
We had lunch.
170
looking out down the Long Valley Couldn't have been better.
171
Couldn't have been better.
172
A word here is being reduced to just the schwa.
173
What word is it?
174
We noticed before that the word 'of' reduces to just the schwa but here it's the word 'have'.
175
Yes, the word 'have' can be changed to just the schwa sound.
176
Uh.
177
in conversation, especially after could, couldn't, should, shouldn't would, wouldn't.
178
I've actually seen native speakers mess this up and write 'should of' instead of 'should have'.
179
It makes sense because 'of' and 'have' can both produce to the same single sound, the schwa.
180
Shoulda.
181
But if this sound is following could, couldn't, should, shouldn't. Would, wouldn't.
182
The word is definitely have and reducing 'have' to just the schwa after these words will help your English sound natural.
183
Practice.
184
Good night.
185
Couldna.
186
Notice I'm dropping the T in the contraction.
187
This is how native speakers will say this phrase.
188
Couldna.
189
Couldna.
190

為什麼要通過這個影片進行口語練習？
通過這個影片，您可以在實際的對話場景中提升自己的英語口語能力。這段影片展示了父子在科羅拉多州徒步旅行的真實對話，您不僅可以學習常用的詞彙，還能夠感受到英語的真實語境。從實際對話中學習，可以幫助您更自然地運用英語，增強語言的流利度和自信心。此外，您還可以模仿影片中的發音和語調，這對提高英語發音是非常有幫助的。
語法與表達在語境中的分析
- Round trip：在影片中提到的“round trip”表示往返。這是一個非常常用的表達，瞭解它在語境中的使用可以幫助您在旅行相關的對話中更加流利。
- 長音的使用：影片中提到“long valley”時，發音者特意拉長了“long”這個詞，用於強調。美國英語常常會通過拉長某些詞語來傳達更強烈的情感，這一點可以在日常生活中靈活運用。
- 口語縮略：“If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all”在口語中常常被縮短為“you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all”。學習這種縮略形式，可以幫助您在口語交流時更加自然流暢。
常見的發音陷阱
在學習英語發音時，某些詞彙可能會讓您感到困擾。例如，“Chihuahua”這個詞源於西班牙語，它的拼寫和發音在美國英語中顯得有些奇特。許多學習者可能在這個詞的發音上出現錯誤。此外，像“gorse”這樣的詞也是不太常見的，瞭解其發音和含義有助於您在與他人交流時更加自信。
通過模仿影片中的對話，您可以有效地運用shadow speech和shadow speak的技巧，逐漸提高您的英語口音和流利度。這樣的方法適用於所有學習者，無論是準備雅思口語練習還是日常英語對話。
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 | Have you heard · you've seen · have seen |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | is called · is dropped · being reduced |
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事 | might do · might use · may use |
| 用 “should” 提建議 should + 動詞 — 表示應該做的事 | shouldn't would · should of |
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。
