Hey what's up, it's Alex.
2
Today I've got a new shirt
3
and I'm going to talk to you about the connected reading in Dua Lipa's song Don't Start Now.
4
Alright, that's perfect.
5
Let's look at the first sentence.
6
Don't show up becomes don't show up.
7
So the T in don't disappears.
8
And show up, that W connects with the U in up.
9
The next line is don't come out.
10
This is interesting because whenever I say out and I don't say the T, it turns into a glottal stop.
11
Out.
12
Out.
13
Don't come out.
14
But when she says it, because she's singing, that glottal stop disappears as well.
15
And it's just don't come out.
16
Don't come out.
17
Now that's not exactly how people talk in speech, but it shows you how these syllables connect.
18
Don't come out.
19
That sound connects with the next vowel.
20
Don't come out.
21
The next line is, don't start caring about me now.
22
And the way she breaks it up is like this.
23
Don't start caring about me now.
24
First, those t's are gone.
25
Those t's disappear.
26
Don't start caring.
27
Now we're linking that n in caring.
28
It's actually a ng sound, but she's turned it into a n.
29
We're linking that nuh sound with the uh in about.
30
Karen, bow me now.
31
Walk away.
32
Again, we've got an uh sound at the beginning of away.
33
That sound connects with the previous consonant.
34
W-a-k-a-way.
35
You know how.
36
Now, you know how doesn't really have anything to connect.
37
It wouldn't be you-n-o-how.
38
We wouldn't connect that n-a to a different syllable.
39
And the last line you've already learned.
40
Don't start caring about me now.
41
Now, what's interesting is that ert at the end of start pretty much disappears.
42
Don't start Karen.
43
Don't start Karen.
44
And that's considered more of a stylistic song choice instead of something that represents the way people actually talk.
45
Certainly when I speak quickly, I always leave that R in there.
46
Don't start Karen.
47
Don't start Karen.
48
Don't start Karen about me now.

练习技巧

在进行shadowing练习时，重要的是要模仿视频的语速和语调。首先，听歌曲的每一段，然后重复这些短语，务必关注每个词的发音和连读现象。例如，您可以从“don't show up”开始，注意到“T”音的消失以及“show up”中的“W”和“U”的连接。进行英语口语练习时，可以反复观看YouTube学英语的相关内容，例如这段连读示例，从而提高您的英语发音。

当您进行shadowing时，建议选择慢一点的节奏开始，确保每个音节和词语的连接都清晰。随着您的熟练程度提高，您可以逐渐加快速度。利用这种“shadowspeaks”或其他shadowing site的技巧，您会发现听力与发音之间的联系逐渐增强，从而有效提升您的口语流利度。

通过持续的练习，您不仅能增强对关键短语的掌握，还能自信地在日常英语对话中使用这些技巧，从而让您的交流更加流畅自然。

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。
