In this video, we're going to talk about how you can improve your pronunciation quickly and permanently.
2
And at the end of this video, I'll give you a link to a webpage that links to a lot of free pronunciation exercises.
3
Let's start by talking about a very frustrating problem.
4
Suppose I currently mispronounce this word.
5
Suppose I say pogam instead of program.
6
I want to fix this mistake.
7
So I learn the right pronunciation and I repeat it over and over.
8
program program program.
9
Now here's the problem.
10
Because I have mispronounced this word for so long, the incorrect pronunciation has become a habit.
11
And because of that, I can only say the word correctly if I pay attention to my pronunciation.
12
If I don't pay attention, I will revert back to the old habit.
13
So how can I solve this problem?
14
Well, the answer is...I have to increase the number of repetitions.
15
Imagine that right now inside my brain there are two memories associated with the word program.
16
One of them is old.
17
The other is new.
18
The old memory represents the wrong pronunciation - the bad habit.
19
The new one represents the right pronunciation that I've just learned.
20
So these are memories of how to coordinate the muscles in my tongue, lips, and other parts to say the word "program".
21
The reason that I mispronounce this word if I don't pay attention is that the old memory is much stronger.
22
If I want to break this old habit, I have to repeat the right pronunciation many, many times.
23
Every time I do that, the new memory gets stronger, and the old memory gets weaker.
24
I repeat - the old memory doesn't stay the same.
25
It actually gets weaker.
26
This phenomenon is called Retrieval-Induced Forgetting.
27
It happens when there are two or more memories competing with each others.
28
It's a phenomenon where retrieving one memory makes us forget other memories.
29
This is why you have to be careful when fixing a mistake.
30
If you accidentally repeat the mistake, it'll strengthen the old habit and weaken the correction that you're trying to make, making the problem worse.
31
So that's the first thing to keep in mind.
32
You have to repeat, repeat, and repeat.
33
This sounds good in theory.
34
But in practice, there's huge problem with repetition.
35
So what's the problem with repetition?
36
Well, it takes a tremendous amount of time.
37
Fixing just one mistake requires a lot of repetition.
38
Who has time for that?
39
After all, you probably have lot of mistakes to eliminate.
40
So what can you do?
41
Fortunately, there's a technique that you can use to speed up the process.
42
And that is exaggeration.
43
Going back to our previous example, suppose I pronounce this word as pogam.
44
That's incorrect because the R sound is missing.
45
If I want to fix this mistake quickly, I will exaggerate the R sound.
46
pRogRam pRogRam pRogRam.
47
Here's another example: Let's say I pronounce this word as "banana".
48
This is incorrect because I don't stress the second syllable.
49
So to fix this, I will stress the second syllable real hard.
50
baNAna baNAna.
51
This sounds silly but you will not believe how much faster your pronunciation will improve when you exaggerate.
52
But how does this technique help you improve your pronunciation faster?
53
Well, one of the reasons that we mispronounce words is that we replace certain sounds with other sounds that are easier to say.
54
So a non-native speaker might pronounce this word as "taught" instead of "thought".
55
We also tend ignore certain sounds.
56
So we might pronounce this word as hoss instead of horse.
57
This is because the brain is lazy.
58
It has the tendency to pronounce words in the easiest way possible.
59
But when you exaggerate, you're telling your lazy brain that the sounds being exaggerating are important.
60
You're basically telling your brain, "Hey, these sounds are important.
61
Do not ignore them." So you when speak normally, you will sound much clearer.
62
But that's not all.
63
When you exaggerate, you're strengthening the muscles involved in speaking, especially your tongue muscles.
64
This is a huge benefit because if those muscles are strong, you will speak much clearer.
65
So to summarize: There are two things that you can do to quickly and permanently improve your pronunciation.
66
Number one: You can use repetition to break bad speaking habits and replace them with good ones.
67
Number two: You can speed up the process by exaggerating everything that should be exaggerated.
68
Alright, that's all for today.

推薦影片
為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語?
在學習英語的過程中,發音是一個非常重要的環節。通過觀看影片來練習口語,例如這段影片,可以幫助你迅速提高發音技巧。影片中提供了許多實用的技巧和方法,幫助你克服發音中的困難,尤其是當你遇到了錯誤時。這種方法結合了看YouTube學英語的便利,讓你不僅可以跟隨說話者的音調和語速,還能借此機會進行有效的發音練習。同時,通過重複正確的發音,逐漸提高自信心,有助於在雅思口語練習中表現得更從容自信。
語法與表達背景
在影片中,有一些重要的語言結構和表達方式,值得大家注意:
- 反覆強調(repeat, repeat, repeat):說話者強調了重複的重要性。通過反覆的練習,來加強記憶,這是提高發音的有效方法。
- 錯誤與習慣的對比(old memory vs. new memory):這段表述幫助學習者理解如何克服錯誤發音。通過理解舊習慣和新習慣的對比,能夠更好地進行自我糾正。
- 誇張發音(exaggeration):通過強調某些音節來加速發音的糾正過程,這是幫助學習者突破發音障礙的一種實用技巧。
常見發音陷阱
影片中提到了幾個常見的發音錯誤,非常值得注意:
- 程式(program):這個詞的發音常常被錯誤發音為“pogam”,關鍵是要注意其中的“r”音的正確發音。
- 香蕉(banana):許多人在發音時沒有重音在第二個音節上,最終導致發音不標準。
- 干擾音(shadow speech):在模仿講話者時,注意聲音的流暢性,避免因發音不準而出現的干擾。
當你在觀看影片並模仿時,嘗試使用shadow speak方法,即跟著說話者的發音進行練習,從而提高口語能力。通過這些技巧和常見陷阱識別,你可以更高效地進行雅思口語練習,提升自身的口語水平。
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 |
|---|---|
| 條件句 if + 從句,will/would + 動詞 — 條件及其結果 | If I don't pay attention, I will revert · If you accidentally repeat the mistake, it'll strengthen · if those muscles are strong, you will speak |
| 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 mispronounced · I've just learned · I've created |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | is called · should be exaggerated |
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。
