Hello and welcome back to English with Lucy.
2
Today is an exciting day because I'm starting a new mini-series with you guys all about British English pronunciation.
3
Now arguably one of the most difficult parts of learning English is the pronunciation of the many many vowel sounds.
4
So the first part of this series is going to be all about the different vowel sounds that we use
5
in British English.
6
Quickly, before we get started,
7
make sure you connect with me on all of my social media.
8
I've got my Instagram, my Facebook,
9
my Weibo, and of course my YouTube channel.
10
And as I've mentioned before,
11
I have a Patreon site where you can sponsor me and earn some really nice rewards like Skype lessons and handwritten cards.
12
Before we get started, I just want to make one thing clear.
13
I am not trying to make you get rid of your accent.
14
Accents make us unique.
15
I just want to help you improve your pronunciation so that you can be better understood and can communicate more easily.
16
So don't go crazy and think I must use my accent,
17
I must use my accent because A,
18
it's really difficult and B, why?
19
Unless you want to be an actor for a specific job role, there's no need.
20
A story that might surprise some of you is that throughout my childhood and some of my teenage years,
21
I was really, really embarrassed of my accent.
22
I have a relatively posh British accent and some people used to make fun of me at school.
23
But now I've realised that accents don't matter.
24
What does matter is bad pronunciation and this is where I come in to help you guys.
25
Okay, so the vowel sound that we're going to use today is the phoneme air and it's written like this.
26
I do think it's important for you guys to recognise things like these
27
because when you want to learn how to pronounce a word,
28
you can search on any dictionary and the phonetics will really,
29
really help you understand how to pronounce each word.
30
Now, I mostly teach Spanish students and they really,
31
really struggle with this phoneme.
32
So this phoneme is a diphthong.
33
That means it is two vowel sounds combined in one syllable.
34
So to make the air sound we combine the e and the uh air.
35
But normally British English speakers will just say air and we'll change the pitch air air.
36
So in the first part of the diphthong,
37
we use the eh sound.
38
So I've got my mouth wide and my tongue relaxed.
39
In the second part it's the it's the schwa.
40
My whole mouth is relaxed and it's just a little push of voice.
41
So I'm going air.
42
The last thing that you must do is propel a lot of air through your lungs as you say this vowel sound.
43
So I don't want air, I want air.
44
Breathy.
45
The breathier you are, the more British you sound.
46
So firstly we have the word air,
47
this magic gas that's all around us.
48
Now it's written A-I-R, but we do not pronounce the R at the end of the word.
49
Americans, however do pronounce it so we say air
50
and they would say air
51
so after the air vowel sound we don't pronounce the R
52
unless a vowel then comes after the R like in area
53
area now I'm going to give you a couple of examples of words
54
that end in the air sound that you might have been pronouncing incorrectly firstly Finally,
55
we've got the words that end in A-I-R.
56
Air, chair, hair, fair, and millionaire.
57
Then we've got the words that end in A-R-E care,
58
aware, share, square Then we've got the words that end in E-A-R So we've got bear,
59
tear, pair, swear Then we've got air used in the middle of a word So we've got things with AR.
60
Parent.
61
The names.
62
Mary.
63
Sarah.
64
Various.
65
Then we've got words with AIR.
66
Like hairy or dairy.
67
Then we've got the British spelling for aeroplane. With AER.
68
We've got aeroplane or aerobics.
69
And finally we've got the EAR in words such as unbearable.
70
Hopefully today's lesson has helped you in some way.
71
Make sure you subscribe because there will be more videos of this type coming very very soon.
72
I really do want to help you with your pronunciation
73
and I think looking at it vowel by vowel is really going to be a good way of doing that.
74
So that's it for today's class.
75
Make sure you connect with me on all my social media and I will see you in the next episode.
76
Bye bye.
77
Then we have air used in the middle of the road.
78
In the middle of the road?

为什么要通过这个视频练习口说？
通过观看这个视频并模仿其发音，您将能有效提高您的英语口语能力。无论您是正在准备雅思口语练习，还是希望在日常生活中更自信地交流，这段视频都将为您提供宝贵的帮助。掌握正确的发音，尤其是英式英语中的元音音素，可以使您在与他人交流时更加清晰和易于理解。观看并练习这段视频，您不仅能提高自己的发音，还能增强您的交流自信心。
语法与语境中的表达
- 声调变化：讲者提到在发音时 "change the pitch"，这是在描述如何改变声调，以增强语音的表现力。
- 韵母组合："diphthong" 一词的使用，说明了两个元音在一个音节中结合的特征。
- 发音的过程：讲者详细解释了如何发出 /eə/ 这个音，强调嘴巴和舌头的放松状态，例如“my mouth wide and my tongue relaxed”。
- 重音与气息：提到“propel a lot of air through your lungs”，强调了发音时气息的重要性，使发音更具英式特征。
常见的发音陷阱
在这个视频中，有一些发音可能会让英语学习者感到困惑，尤其是一些来自不同语言背景的学习者。例如，"air" 这个单词的发音对许多学习者来说是一个挑战，因为它的发音方式与拼写不符，而美式英语和英式英语在这个词上也有区别。此外，了解 /eə/ 的音素结构对于克服发音障碍至关重要，因为它是一种组合音，许多学习者在发音时可能不小心忽略了中间的气息音。
通过结合这些技巧，学习者可以在与他人交流时更加自信。为了更好地练习，您可以尝试在英语影子跟读的过程中加入这个视频的内容，利用 shadow speech 的方法提高自己的发音能力，增强对雅思口语的应对能力。
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。
