Hi, I am Yeji Kim from Talk To Me in Korean.
2
How are you?
3
Did I just sound natural?
4
Can you pinpoint what made me sound unnatural?
5
Yes, it's the intonation.
6
In this video, let's talk about what intonation is, how to improve your Korean intonation,
7
and lastly, how to find suitable materials for your intonation practice.
8
For those who are new to this channel, we have been teaching Korean online for over 10 years now.

Alright, first and foremost, what is intonation?
11
is 억양 in Korean intonation is the rhythm of your speech.
12
안녕하세요.
13
저는 김예지예요.
14
Some words are more stressed and some words are spoken with less emphasis.
15
그럴 리가 없어요.
16
You raise your tone.
17
알겠습니다.
18
This time it's pretty much monotone.
19
The thing is, native speakers all use similar intonation, if not the same, when they use certain expressions or sentence structures.
20
So when you use the right intonation, you not only sound more natural, but you can also better deliver your message.
21
On the contrary, when you use an awkward intonation, it can make it harder to get your point across, and it can even change the meaning of your sentence.
22
What is more, intonation can complement pronunciation, I mean when it comes to fluency.
23
So, if you think your pronunciation is not good enough, even after a long practice,
24
you can still improve your fluency by working on your intonation.
25
This is why using the right intonation is crucial.
26
And to improve your intonation, just listening to native speakers is not enough.
27
You need to practice.
28
Now let's talk about how to improve your intonation.
29
You can naturally pick up intonation by listening to native speakers and mimicking their speech.
30
But for those who want to practice with more focus on intonation, here's the method.
31
First, listen to the native speaker's speech and pay full attention to their rhythm, their stress, and pitches.
32
Second, replace all the syllables with one random syllable such as 나 or 다.
33
Here's an example.
34
I'll eat and exercise.
35
I'll eat and exercise.
36
I'll eat before I eat.
37
I'll eat before I eat.
38
Really?
39
I didn't know.
40
I didn't know.
41
This way, you can isolate intonation from other elements like pronunciation or the meaning of the sentence.
42
And after you get used to the intonation, bring the syllables back and practice the whole conversation.
43
For your information, this clip is one of our sample dialogues from our essential Korean courses.
44
And you can find it in the courses tab of our website, TalkToMeInKorean.com.
45
And here's a tip that will double the effectiveness of your practice.
46
Before you listen to the native speaker, try saying the sentences yourself first and then compare your tone,
47
pitches, and stress to that of native speakers.
48
That way you can easily identify your intonation errors and fix that.
49
Then how can you find the right materials for your intonation practice?
50
Regardless of your Korean level, I recommend you find videos that include Korean subtitles
51
because it allows you to read the lines yourself before the native speaker speaks, and also you can focus solely on the intonation,
52
not worrying about if you've heard the lines correctly or not.
53
Now for beginners, find short conversations where each line is enunciated.
54
If the video or audio has a slower version, it's even better.
55
And actually, we have courses like that on our website.
56
I'll put the links in the description.
57
As your Korean improves, you can go with longer and more natural conversations.
58
And if you are an advanced learner, you can choose pretty much anything you want, like YouTube videos, K-dramas, or 예능 reality shows,
59
as long as they interest you.
60
And I have a Google extension to introduce you.
61
It's called Speed Control HTML5 Video.
62
With this extension, you can adjust the speed of the video you're watching by 0.1
63
so you can watch any video at the speed that suits your level.
64
Alright, that's all I have for today.
65
Thank you so much for watching the video.
66
Bye!
67
you

背景与背景

在学习英语的过程中，语调是一个极其重要的要素，决定了我们说话的自然程度。就像视频中提到的，正确的语调不仅能让我们的发音更地道，还能帮助我们更准确地传达信息。无论是日常对话还是学术交流，掌握语调都是必不可少的。如何通过影子跟读（shadow speak）来提高英语口语能力呢？我们可以通过模仿和练习来不断完善自己的发音与语调。

日常沟通的五个常用短语

  • 你好！（Hello!）
  • 我不知道。（I didn't know.）
  • 我会吃东西和锻炼。（I'll eat and exercise.）
  • 这不可能。（That can't be.）
  • 我明白了。（I understand.）

这些短语在日常交流中非常实用。如果我们能够掌握它们的正确语调，将会使我们的口语更流利自然。

逐步影子跟读指南

为了有效提高英语口语能力，尤其是语调方面，我们可以采用以下步骤进行影子跟读（shadowspeak）练习：

  1. 首先，听母语者的发言，留意他们的语调、重音与音高。
  2. 然后，尝试将每个音节替换为一个随机音节，比如“na”或“da”。例如：“我会吃东西”和“我会锻炼”可以分别替换为：“我会na”和“我会da”。
  3. 在习惯这种语调后，恢复完整的句子进行练习。

记住，在进行练习之前，先自己说出句子，再与母语者的语调进行比较，这样更容易发现自己的语调错误并加以修正。

通过这种有效的影子跟读方法，我们可以大幅提升自己的英语语调，使沟通更流畅自然。无论你是初学者还是有一定基础的学习者，都可以通过这些方法找到合适的练习材料来锻炼自己的口语能力，加油！

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。
