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

so much for tuning in and I'll see you next time

关于本节课程
在本节课程中，我们将重点练习如何改善你的英语口音和发音。这是一个非常有效的方法，尤其是通过模仿你欣赏的演讲者，从而提升你的英语表达能力。模仿不仅能增强你的听觉技能，还能帮助你更好地掌握语言的节奏和旋律。通过提取30到60秒的片段进行重复练习，不仅能帮助你更流利地说英语，还能提升你的自信心。
重点词汇和短语
- 模仿（imitation） - 学习新语言的重要方法，通过重复听到的内容。
- 节奏（rhythm） - 演讲或对话中的重音和语调变化。
- 旋律（melody） - 语言的音调和声调特征。
- 耳朵训练（ear training） - 有意识地去提高对声音的敏感度。
- 录音（record） - 记录自己的发音，帮助客观审视进步。
- 强调（emphasize） - 在说话中需要特别突出的词汇。
- 聲音高低起伏（rising and falling tone） - 描述演讲者声音的变化过程。
练习建议
为了有效地使用模仿法来提高发音，建议你遵循以下步骤：
- 选择一段时长30到60秒的音频，例如播客、TED演讲或你喜欢的电视剧片段。
- 在聆听时，注意发音的节奏和旋律，关注哪些词汇被强调。
- 使用录音设备，如智能手机的录音应用，录下你自己重复所选的句子。
- 回放录音，认真听取自己的发音，找出可以改进的地方。
此外，参加雅思口语练习时，不妨利用这种模仿技巧，也能在看YouTube学英语时找到大量相关资料。无论是通过shadowspeaks还是其他shadowing site，皆可帮助你在今后的学习中取得更好的成果。记住，持续的练习和反馈是成功的关键！
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。
