1
Well, hey there and welcome.
2
I'm Keenan and this is the Clear English Corner.
3
In this lesson, we're talking about the number one way to improve your English pronunciation
4
and the single thing you must do if you really want to make some serious progress.
5
So let's get to it.
6
What is the single best way to improve your English pronunciation?
7
It's imitation.
8
listening to and repeating a speaker that you admire.
9
This sounds so simple, but think about it.
10
Your English doesn't sound the way you want it to because you learned it after your first language.
11
And you learned English primarily through the written word.
12
When you learn a language this way, the tendency is to apply the sounds and rhythms of your first language to that new language.
13
But think for a moment about how we learn our first language as kids.
14
Toddlers don't learn language from textbooks.
15
Kids just listen.
16
From the moment they exit that birth canal, those ears are picking up signals and sending them to the brain.
17
and the brain is registering, ah, these sounds mean something.
18
Then when kids begin to talk, they sound like the people around them because they're imitating everything they've been hearing.
19
This is why my two-year-old niece, who loves to talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, and she's quite a little singer too,
20
she can spit out sentence after sentence, and I may not understand every word she's saying,
21
but it still sounds right because it's familiar.
22
She's matching the rhythm and the music of the language she hears around her.
23
She's imitating.
24
Ideally, when we learn a new language, we would learn it primarily through listening.
25
This was likely not the case for you in learning English, but it's not too late.
26
You just need to shift your focus.
27
You have to consciously pursue ear training.
28
You can't begin to speak a language differently until you start to hear it differently.
29
Pay close attention to the sounds that you hear.
30
But even more important, pay attention to the rhythm and the melody.
31
What words does the speaker emphasize?
32
How is the voice rising and falling from word to word?
33
And if you really want to amplify your progress, there's one single thing you absolutely must do.
34
You must record yourself.
35
I know, it's so hard to listen to yourself on audio or watch yourself on video,
36
but I can 100% promise you that students who take this extra step,
37
who record themselves consistently and objectively review these recordings, make exponentially more progress than those who don't.
38
And I can also 100% promise you that listening to yourself gets much easier the more you do it.
39
In fact, it becomes exponentially easier if you can just get past that first time of recording yourself and listening to yourself.
40
So here's what effective practice looks like using imitation.
41
First, select a quick passage, 30 to 60 seconds, from a podcast, an audio book, a speech you enjoyed,
42
check out TED Talks, or even a quick clip from a TV show or a movie.
43
Listen to that passage, paying close attention to the rhythm and the melody.
44
Which words are most prominent?
45
How is the speaker's voice rising and falling on those words?
46
Then, get your recording device.
47
Use your phone.
48
There's an app for that right there at your fingertips.
49
I like to use voice memos on my iPhone.
50
Then, record yourself as you play a phrase or sentence from your chosen practice material and repeat that sentence.
51
You want to make sure you record both the audio model and your imitation.
52
Do this for the whole passage.
53
Remember, you're being extra mindful of matching the rhythm and melody of the speaker's voice.
54
It doesn't matter if you don't get every single word.
55
Then review the recording.
56
Listen to yourself. Be objective.
57
Does your rhythm and melody match the speakers?
58
Do you need to emphasize certain words more?
59
Are there certain sounds that are missing or that don't sound quite right?
60
What would you like to change?
61
And what do you like about what you hear?
62
Step out of that habit of being overly critical of yourself and begin to recognize progress and improvement.
63
This can be simple observations like my r is sounding
64
so much better i'm really clear on the most important words here
65
i can tell i'm being mindful of my pace make observations of your progress
66
and what you like about what you hear then repeat this
67
exercise record yourself again as you imitate focusing on making the adjustments and changes that you want to make.
68
This is an extremely powerful practice approach.
69
It's what we use in every session inside my pronunciation training program, Cautious to Confident.
70
And my students will tell you, this kind of practice gets results.
71
The fact is, if you can fit just five to ten minutes of deliberate imitation practice into your daily routine, you will build real progress.
72
Tiny steps forward each day result in massive leaps of progress over time.
73
So how will you integrate imitation practice into your daily routine?
74
Is there anything you love listening to that you can start using for practice today?
75
Let me know in the comments below.
76
That's all for today my friend I hope you found the lesson helpful as always thanks
77
so much for tuning in and I'll see you next time

關於本節課程
在本節課程中，我們將重點練習如何改善你的英語口音和發音。這是一個非常有效的方法，尤其是通過模仿你欣賞的演講者，從而提升你的英語表達能力。模仿不僅能增強你的聽覺技能，還能幫助你更好地掌握語言的節奏和旋律。通過提取30到60秒的片段進行重複練習，不僅能幫助你更流利地說英語，還能提升你的自信心。
重點詞彙和短語
- 模仿（imitation） - 學習新語言的重要方法，通過重複聽到的內容。
- 節奏（rhythm） - 演講或對話中的重音和語調變化。
- 旋律（melody） - 語言的音調和聲調特徵。
- 耳朵訓練（ear training） - 有意識地去提高對聲音的敏感度。
- 錄音（record） - 記錄自己的發音，幫助客觀審視進步。
- 強調（emphasize） - 在說話中需要特別突出的詞彙。
- 聲音高低起伏（rising and falling tone） - 描述演講者聲音的變化過程。
練習建議
為了有效地使用模仿法來提高發音，建議你遵循以下步驟：
- 選擇一段時長30到60秒的音訊，例如播客、TED演講或你喜歡的電視劇片段。
- 在聆聽時，注意發音的節奏和旋律，關注哪些詞彙被強調。
- 使用錄音裝置，如智慧手機的錄音應用，錄下你自己重複所選的句子。
- 回放錄音，認真聽取自己的發音，找出可以改進的地方。
此外，參加雅思口語練習時，不妨利用這種模仿技巧，也能在看YouTube學英語時找到大量相關資料。無論是通過shadowspeaks還是其他shadowing site，皆可幫助你在今後的學習中取得更好的成果。記住，持續的練習和反饋是成功的關鍵！
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。
