Hi again.
2
Welcome back to www .engvid .com.
3
I'm Adam.
4
Today I'm going to help you sound a little bit more like a native speaker, hopefully.
5
Students ask me all the time, how can I sound like a native speaker?
6
Well, before I say anything, let me just tell you that it will take time and a lot, a lot, a lot of practice.
7
The best way is to live in an English -speaking country, of course, but of course you can do it anywhere, but it takes time, be patient, practice, practice, practice.
8
So, we're looking at pronunciation.
9
Let me start with this word, pronunciation, not pronounciation.
10
It is not a pronoun.
11
A pronoun is I, me, my, mine.
12
Pronunciation is how we speak English.
13
So, I'm going to give you three tips that will help you sound a little bit more like a native speaker.
14
We're going to start with connecting words.
15
Now, think about your own language, whether you're speaking Spanish or Polish or Chinese, you do this in your language as well.
16
When you're speaking fast, you're taking words and you're squeezing them together, you're connecting them.
17
So one word flows into the next word.
18
That's what we're going to do here.
19
You can connect consonant to consonant.
20
What this means, when a word ends in a consonant, A consonant is B, C, D, F, G, etc. A vowel is A, E, I, O, U.
21
When a word ends in a consonant and the next word begins with the same consonant, drop the first one.
22
So, for example, we do not say black coffee.
23
We don't say K, K.
24
There's only one K.
25
Black coffee.
26
Black coffee.
27
Okay?
28
Okay?
29
Practice that.
30
Now, T and D, these are two different consonants, but according to the tongue and the mouth, they almost sound the same, so we do the same thing.
31
What do you do?
32
What do you do?
33
But again, another thing you have to keep in mind is when we say it fast, we also don't really say E, we say like a sort of like a small, we don't say, oh, sorry, we say sort of a small E.
34
What do you do?
35
Practice that.
36
What do you do?" Strange, huh?
37
No T.
38
What do you do?
39
What do you do?
40
That's how a native speaker would say it naturally.
41
Now, another thing is when a word ends in a consonant and the next word begins in a vowel, make sure you roll it in, right?
42
Roll the consonant into the vowel and separate the syllable before.
43
A syllable is the vowel sounds in a word, okay?
44
So nobody, like native speakers, don't say, not at all.
45
Oh no, not at all.
46
We don't say it like that, we say, oh, not at all, not at all, not at all, right?
47
The T, so this becomes na, ta, tal, na, ta, tal, not at all, okay?
48
Say it quickly, blend the letters one into the next, but again, practice it.
49
Now, for those of you who are going to be taking a test, an English test that involves listening,
50
IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, if you're in Canada you may be doing a CELPIP test, okay?
51
This is going to help you on the listening section as well.
52
This is one of the things they're testing.
53
Somebody on the recording will say, not at all, and you need to cut, not at all.
54
You need to understand the separate words.
55
That's part of the test.
56
So practice speaking it, practice listening to it.
57
Another thing we do is we squeeze some words, okay?
58
Certain words, we don't say all the syllables, we don't even say all the letters.
59
I've heard many students say, comfortable, comfortable.
60
But native speakers, we don't say this part, we don't say the OR,
61
we say comf -ta -ble.
62
And notice the last sound is like a small, tiny, tiny little I in there.
63
Comfortable.
64
Com -ta -ble.
65
Comfortable, okay?
66
We don't pronounce the OR, comf -or -ta -ble.
67
Nope, don't do that.
68
Another word like that, interesting. In -tre -sting.
69
Find out what the syllables are, so in -ter-, sorry, my mistake, in -ter -res -ting.
70
If you want to emphasize something, we have a word called enunciate.
71
When someone wants to emphasize a word, then they enunciate each syllable.
72
They say each syllable separately.
73
Oh, that is very interesting, right?
74
Because I want you to understand that the word is interesting, but in everyday speech...
75
interesting interesting interesting interesting i have four syllable syllables
76
when i actually say it naturally it becomes three syllables
77
and the t and the r become like a ch
78
but that's we'll talk about that next another word every every i don't say every i don't say this letter e every,
79
every, everyone, everything, every.
80
Okay?
81
Last, squeeze letters.
82
Now, this is particularly true for a few letters.
83
When we have T -R, T -R together usually sounds like C -H -R.
84
So we don't say country, we say country, country, like a tree that grows,
85
but even a tree is .. tree, okay?
86
If you go out with your friends, you go out for a treat, okay?
87
Another one is dr. dr also doesn't really sound like dr. We don't say hundred, okay?
88
It's too difficult for the tongue to make the quick switch.
89
So So this sounds like J -R, hun -dred, hun -dred, hun -dred.
90
Now this goes with the first idea when you're connecting words, but when you're connecting words and you have a D and a Y together,
91
it becomes like a J sound. Did you? Did you? Did you? Did you?
92
Did you do it?
93
Did you do what I asked? Did you? Did you?
94
Okay?
95
So we say it like that very quick, very mixed, and you have to practice these because it's more a habit than anything else.
96
Native speakers, we don't think about doing these things.
97
It just rolls off the tongue just like that, okay?
98
But also, make sure you do a lot of listening.
99
Listen to TV sitcoms, listen to the radio, lots of things on the Internet.
100
TED .com, for example, you can hear native speakers all the time.
101
And what you can do is you can try to do dictation and try to listen and cut
102
the words you hear into the actual separate words that they are.
103
Listen to individual words and try to find their syllables, okay?
104
But again, it's just practice, practice, practice.
105
And of course, at www .engvid .com, if you go to the search box at the top of the site, we have a few more...
106
Actually, we have quite a few more pronunciation lessons.
107
You can go there and become a more natural speaker of English, okay?

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
