FAST ENGLISH SKILLS How to Speak English Fast with Linking

One of the things that makes American English sound so natural and so fast is linking.

And today, we’ve invited Tom Kelley, who’s a standout Rachel’s English teacher, to teach you a lesson.

He’s going to take a single sentence from the TV show, Madam Secretary. And he’s going to do a full analysis.

He’s going to analyze the rhythm for you, the intonation, and the linking.

Each link, how does each word flow into the next word? He’s also going to do a sound analysis.

This entire lesson, one sentence, takes over 15 minutes. How does Tom do it? How does he go so much in-depth?

Well, when you’re done with this, I promise you’ll be able to say this sentence absolutely perfectly.

But also, on top of that, you’ll have the tools that you need to be able to do a sentence analysis yourself,

to really change the way you hear English, so that you can start speaking English even more naturally.

Tom, thank you so much for this lesson. We’re going to get to him in just a second, but first,

if you haven’t subscribed please do with notifications. We make new videos every Tuesday

and we’d love to see you back here. Okay, Tom. Take it away.

Hi! I’m Tom Kelley, a Rachel’s English teacher with Rachel’s English Academy.

Today, we’re going to analyze and practice with a single sentence

and get an enormous amount of information out of it.

I’m going to teach you a technique that you can use on your own

as you work on your American English pronunciation.

It covers the major concepts of pronunciation like music,

rhythm, reductions, linking, and how specific sounds in words are pronounced.

That’s pretty much everything right? Right. So let’s get started.

The sentence we’ll be practicing is from the first episode of the television show “Madam Secretary”.

Let’s watch and listen.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Seems simple enough. Six words.

We absolutely did the right thing.

What makes this sound like natural American English?

We absolutely did the right thing.

I’m moving smoothly from one sound to the next, keeping everything connected.

this connected quality combined with the intonation of the voice, creates the music of American English.

A great way to hear the music of a sentence is to listen to the sentence three or four times in a row.

Let’s try that with this.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Can you hear it?

What do you hear as the peak of the sentence? The syllable that is most stressed

by being highest in pitch, and using the most vocal energy?

We absolutely did the right thing.

I hear it as the third syllable of ‘absolutely’.

Absolutely.

We absolutely did the right thing.

When you’re listening for the music, it can be helpful to listen for the peak, the most stressed syllable.

Another practice tool you can use is to practice just the music of a sentence using the UH as in butter vowel.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Uuuhh…

We absolutely did the right thing.

Uuuhh…

Do you hear that music? Let’s slow it down.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Try and imitate it with me.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Uuhhhhh…

We absolutely did the right thing.

Uuhhhhh…

Now at regular pace.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Uuuhh…

Now try and say the sentence using that same music.

Uhhhh…

We absolutely did the right thing.

It might feel pretty difficult to do, but let’s keep analyzing and see if it gets easier by the end.

The important thing right now is that you can hear it.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Uuuhhh…

We absolutely did the right thing.

Now, let’s move on to the rhythm of the sentence.

We absolutely did the right thing.

When you study the rhythm of American English, you want to think about using both stressed

and unstressed syllables in your speech.

Depending on your native language, you may have trouble creating contrast between your syllables.

English is a stress-timed language, so some syllables are longer than others.

If you come from a syllable-timed language, where all of the syllables are the same length,

this can be quite a challenge.

Let’s take a look at this sentence and determine which syllables are stressed and which are not.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Stressed syllables are longer, they often slide up in the voice and then down, uuhhh.

We call that the shape of stress, uuhhh, uuhhh, uuhhh.

And they use more vocal energy, making them a little easier to understand.

Knowing that, how many stressed syllables do you hear?

We absolutely did the right thing.

I hear 5 stressed syllables.

The first and third syllables of ‘absolutely’ and the three one-syllable words: ‘did, right, and thing’.

All of those syllables are a little longer and clearer than the others.

We absolutely did the right thing.

If you look up the word ‘absolutely’ - you’ll notice that the first syllable is actually a secondary stressed syllable.

You can hear that in the way the third syllable slides up a little higher in pitch,

making it the primary stressed syllable in the word, and as we discussed earlier,

it is actually the primary stressed syllable in the entire phrase. The peak of the sentence musically.

Absolutely

Absolutely did the right thing.

All right. What does that leave us with? Our unstressed syllables.

‘We’ is unstressed and spoken very quickly.

We absolutely– we, we, we, We absolutely–

The second and fourth syllables of ‘absolutely’ are unstressed.

Absolutely. So– ly– So– ly– Absolutely.

And the word THE is unstressed and reduced to just the voiced TH consonant

followed by the schwa. The, the, the.

Now, let’s practice just the rhythm of this word using the sound ‘da’ - for stressed syllables we’ll say DA

using a D consonant and the AH as in FATHER vowel.

Whenever practicing stressed syllables we want to practice the shape of stress, as well.

DA-DA

For unstressed syllables, we use the D consonant again but this time, followed by a schwa.

da, da.

This will be quicker and will be flatter in pitch and will use less vocal energy.

Da. Da. So we have stressed syllables: DA. DA.

And unstressed: da. Da. DA. Da. DA. Da.

We decided that ‘we’ was unstressed, so the rhythm of this sentence starts out as: da, da.

Then ‘absolutely’ has secondary stress on the first syllable, an unstressed second syllable,

primary stress on the third syllable, and the fourth syllable is also unstressed.

So that would sound like this:

da-da-DA-da.

Da-da-DA-da.

So the first two words together, We absolutely, We absolutely, would be:

da-DA-da-DA-da.

Da-DA-da-DA-da.

We absolutely.

We absolutely–

Da-DA-da-DA-da.

We absolutely–

Then have ‘did’ - this is stressed, so there’s another ‘DA’.

‘The’ is unstressed, right? Da-da. So there we have: da-da.

Next, we have the word ‘right’ and ‘thing’. They’re both stressed, so they are both DA.

DA-DA.

So, ‘did the right thing’, ‘did the right thing’ would be: DA-da-DA-DA.

DA-da-DA-DA.

Did the right thing.

Now, let’s try to put it all together:

We absolutely did the right thing.

Da-DA-da-DA-da-DA-da-DA-DA.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Da-DA-da-DA-da-DA-da-DA-DA.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Da-DA-da-DA-da-DA-da-DA-DA.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Da-DA-da-DA-da-DA-da-DA-DA.

Can you hear the rhythm in the sentence now?

Hopefully you can hear it a bit more clearly.

Now, one way you can enhance your ability to feel and hear the rhythm

is to practice what the sentence would sound like if all of the syllables were stressed,

or if all of the syllables were unstressed.

This can help you feel the contrast between the two.

Here is the sentence with all syllables stressed next to the sentence spoken normally.

WE ABSOLUTELY DID THE RIGHT THING.

Versus:

We absolutely did the right thing.

WE ABSOLUTELY DID THE RIGHT THING.

We absolutely did the right thing.

WE ABSOLUTELY DID THE RIGHT THING.

We absolutely did the right thing.

WE ABSOLUTELY DID THE RIGHT THING.

We absolutely did the right thing.

And here is the sentence with all unstressed syllables next to the sentence spoken normally.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Do you hear the difference there?

Over time, that difference will become clearer and clearer.

Okay, what’s left to analyze? We’ve looked at music, rhythm, including reductions,

but we haven’t taken a look at linking and specific sounds yet.

All right. Let’s analyze the linking in this sentence.

We absolutely–

These two words link together using vowel to vowel linking.

The unstressed EE vowel of ‘we’ links into the secondary stressed first syllable of ‘absolutely’

which is an AA as in BAT vowel.

Let’s listen:

We absolutely–

Do you hear how there is a bit of a Y consonant sound that helps to link the EE vowel to the AA as in Bat vowel?

‘We Yaa, We Yaa’, ‘We absolutely.’ We absolutely-

This is common when the vowel sound the comes first has a tongue position that is high in the mouth.

For the EE as in SHE vowel, the tongue is arched in the middle, so as it moves into the AA as in BAT vowel,

you will hear a slight Y consonant sound.

We absolutely–

Next we have: ‘Absolutely did’ - these two words link together using vowel to consonant linking.

This is considered one of the easier types of linking, because you simply move

from the previous vowel sound directly into whatever consonant sound follows.

In this case, you have the unstressed EE as in SHE vowel of ‘absolutely’

linking into the D consonant sound of ‘did’.

We absolutely did–

Next: ‘did the’.

Here, we go from one of the easier types of linking to one of the more difficult.

This is consonant to consonant linking.

But in this case, we are linking from the ending consonant of ‘did’

into the voiced TH consonant of the reduced ‘the, the’.

Let’s listen to what he does here.

Did the–

It’s a little tricky to hear, but he uses an Unreleased D here.

The D consonant is a Stop Consonant - and there are two parts to a stop consonant.

The first part is stopping the air flow, and the second part is releasing the air flow.

So, in this example, did the, did the, the second D is not released.

We have the vibration of the vocal cords, making the D sound, but then it goes right into the next sound.

So the tongue still comes up behind the upper teeth, and the vocal cords vibrate for the D consonant,

but instead of releasing into a True D sound, we move on immediately into the voiced TH consonant.

Here it is in slow motion, which is a little easier to hear:

Did the–

did the–

Of course, it happens much more quickly when speaking, but that is the sound that it is in slow motion.

Did the–

Here it is more quickly:

Did the–

You do hear the beginning of a D consonant, did, the voiced part, did, but you don’t hear the release.

Did the, did the.

Linking stop consonants in this way allows us to speak more smoothly.

If we released the D consonant, our speech would get a little choppier:

Did the–

Do you hear the difference?

Did the–

Okay, what’s next: ‘the right’.

What kind of linking does this look like to you?

‘The right’.

It’s vowel to consonant, the schwa of the reduced THE links directly into the R consonant of ‘right’.

The right–

Okay, last one: ‘right thing’.

The type of linking here?

Consonant to consonant again.

The T of ‘right’ links into the unvoiced TH of ‘thing’.

This time the T of ‘right’ is pronounced as a Stop T to create a smoother linked quality:

right thing, right thing.

Since the T is an unvoiced consonant, you won’t hear that voiced quality like we did with the D in ‘did the’.

Because of that, you don’t need to bring the tongue up behind the teeth for the Stop T.

Instead, you can simply stop the air in your throat using what we call a glottal stop.

Right, right, right, right thing–

Right thing–

This makes it easier to immediately release the air into the unvoiced TH consonant.

Let’s hear the difference between releasing the T and stopping the T:

right thing, right thing, versus right thing,

Right thing.

It’s much smoother using the Stop T.

Right thing–

Alright, let’s hear the whole thing, all linked and connected:

We absolutely did the right thing.

Awesome!

We’ve covered almost everything.

The last thing to take a look at are the specific sounds in each of the words.

Now, we’ve already done some of this by looking at linking and reduction.

But let’s talk through the sentence from beginning to end:

We - this is one of our unstressed syllables and uses a W consonant sound and the unstressed EE vowel. We. We.

Which links into the AA as in BAT vowel of the secondary stressed syllable of ‘absolutely’.

The AA vowel is followed by a B consonant that is barely released as it moves into an S consonant, Abs–

followed by a schwa sound, followed by a Light L which begins the primary stressed syllable ‘lu’.

Absolu– The Light L is followed by the OO as in BOO vowel, Absolu– which is followed by a Stop T,

which releases into an L consonant and finishes with an unstressed EE vowel.

Absolutely–

absolutely–

We absolutely–

Now, I’m going to play the clip of ‘we absolutely’

and I want you to listen to the clip and there there will be a space for you to repeat it three times.

We absolutely–

Great. Now, let’s look at the end of the sentence.

The unstressed EE of ‘absolutely’ links into the D consonant of ‘did’.

The D consonant is followed by an IH as in SIT vowel, followed by the Unreleased D consonant sound

that we talked about earlier. Did, did.

This links into the voiced TH consonant sound of ‘the’.

The voiced TH consonant is followed by a schwa sound in the reduced ‘the’.

Did the– Did the–

That schwa links into the R consonant of ‘right’.

Right. The R consonant is followed by an AI as in BUY diphthong, followed by a Stop T.

Did the right–

Which links into the unvoiced TH of ‘thing’.

The TH is followed by the IH as in SIT vowel, which is followed by an NG consonant. Thing.

Did the right thing.

Now, we’ll play that part of the clip and repeat three times.

Did the right thing.

And now let’s do the entire sentence, you’ll hear the clip and there will be a space for your own repetition.

We absolutely did the right thing.

And that’s it. Wow! Well done. That’s a lot of information about one six-word sentence.

Now, let’s listen to the sentence a few more times and see if you can hear the music,

the rhythm, the linking, the reduction, and specific sounds in a new way.

We absolutely did the right thing.

Hopefully, something about this sentence is new for you.

That is the great thing about these kind of in-depth analyses.

They help you hear words and phrases in new ways.

So often the thing that keeps students from improving their pronunciation

is the fact that they feel like they already know how to say certain things -

not realizing that the way they are saying some words is very different from a native speaker.

You wouldn’t need to do ALL of this analysis to gain something from it.

You could just use the Rhythm Pattern analysis, or the specific sound analysis, or the music analysis.

Any of it, or all of it, will help you feel more confident as you speak.

This sentence analysis technique helps you listen to English in a deep, possibly new way.

At first, this technique may seem overwhelming. But the more you do it, the easier it becomes to hear the music,

feel the rhythm and name the types of linking that are being used to create the smooth

and fluent quality of English we’re all aiming for.

Take a sentence from your favorite TV show and do this same analysis.

I guarantee that if you do this, you’ll be able to imitate that sentence

with more precision and sound more like a native speaker.

Good luck with this, and happy practicing!

使美式英语听起来如此自然和快速的一件事就是链接。

今天，我们邀请了瑞秋的杰出英语老师汤姆·凯利来给大家上一堂课。

他要从电视节目中摘录一句话，秘书夫人。他将进行全面分析。

他会为你分析节奏、语调和连接。

每一个环节，每个词是如何流入下一个词的？他还将进行合理的分析。

整个课程，一个句子，需要 15 分钟。汤姆是怎么做到的？他是怎么深入的？

好吧，当你完成了这个，我保证你能绝对完美地说出这句话。

而且，最重要的是，您将拥有自己进行句子分析所需的工具

，从而真正改变您听到英语的方式，从而更自然地开始说英语。

汤姆，非常感谢你的这一课。我们将在一秒钟内找到他，但首先，

如果您尚未订阅，请处理通知。我们每周二都会制作新视频

，我们很乐意在这里见到您。好的，汤姆。把它拿开。

你好！我是汤姆·凯利，是瑞秋英语学院的瑞秋英语老师。

今天，我们将用一个句子进行分析和练习，

并从中获取大量信息。

我将教你一种技巧，

当你练习美式英语发音时，你可以自己使用。

它涵盖了发音的主要概念，如音乐、

节奏、简化、链接以及单词中特定声音的发音方式。

这几乎是一切，对吧？对。所以让我们开始吧。

我们要练习的句子来自电视节目《秘书夫人》的第一集。

让我们看和听。

我们绝对做对了。

看起来很简单。六个字。

我们绝对做对了。

是什么让这听起来像自然的美式英语？

我们绝对做对了。

我从一种声音平稳地移动到另一种声音，保持一切联系。

这种相互联系的品质与声音的语调相结合，创造了美式英语的音乐。

听句子音乐的一个好方法是连续听句子三到四次。

让我们试试这个。

我们绝对做对了。

你能听到吗？

你听到的句子的最高点是什么？

音高最高、声音能量最大的音节是最重的音节？

我们绝对做对了。

我听到它是“绝对”的第三个音节。

绝对地。

我们绝对做对了。

当你在听音乐时，听峰值，压力最大的音节会很有帮助。

您可以使用的另一个练习工具是使用 UH 来练习句子的音乐，就像在黄油元音中一样。

我们绝对做对了。

Uuuhh…

我们绝对做对了。

呃……

你听到那音乐了吗？让我们放慢速度。

我们绝对做对了。

试着和我一起模仿它。

我们绝对做对了。

Uuhhhhh…

我们绝对做对了。

Uuhhhhh…

现在以正常的速度。

我们绝对做对了。

Uuuhh…

现在尝试使用相同的音乐说出句子。

呃……

我们绝对做对了。

这可能感觉很难做到，但让我们继续分析，看看它是否会变得更容易。

现在重要的是你能听到它。

我们绝对做对了。

呃……

我们绝对做对了。

现在，让我们继续看句子的节奏。

我们绝对做对了。

当你学习美式英语的节奏时，你会想

在演讲中同时使用重读音节和非重读音节。

根据您的母语，您可能难以在音节之间创建对比。

英语是一种重读语言，所以有些音节比其他的长。

如果您来自音节定时语言，其中所有音节的长度都相同，

这可能是一个很大的挑战。

让我们看一下这句话，确定哪些音节重读，哪些不重读。

我们绝对做对了。

重读音节较长，它们经常在声音中向上滑动然后向下滑动，uuhhh。

我们称之为压力的形状，uuhhh，uuhhh，uuhhh。

他们使用更多的声音能量，使他们更容易理解。

知道了，你听到了多少个重读音节？

我们绝对做对了。

我听到 5 个重读音节。

‘absolutely’的第一个和第三个音节以及三个单音节词：‘did，right和thing’。

所有这些音节都比其他音节更长，更清晰。

我们绝对做对了。

如果您查找“绝对”这个词 - 您会注意到第一个音节实际上是第二个重读音节。

你可以听到第三个音节在音高上滑动一点，

使其成为单词中的主要重读音节，正如我们之前讨论的，

它实际上是整个短语中的主要重读音节。音乐上的句子的高峰。

绝对

绝对做对了。

好的。这给我们留下了什么？我们的非重读音节。

“我们”没有重音，语速很快。

我们绝对——我们，我们，我们，绝对

——“绝对”的第二个和第四个音节不重读。

绝对地。所以–ly– 所以–ly– 绝对的。

并且单词 THE 没有重读，被简化为只是浊音 TH 辅音，

后跟 schwa。那个，那个，那个。

现在，让我们用“da”音来练习这个词的节奏——对于重读音节，我们会说 DA

使用 D 辅音和 AH ，就像在 FATHER 元音中一样。

每当练习重读音节时，我们也想练习重读的形状。

DA-DA

对于非重读音节，我们再次使用 D 辅音，但这次是 schwa。

达，达。

这将更快，音调更平坦，并且会使用更少的声音能量。

大。大。所以我们强调音节：DA。达。

并且不重读：da。大。达。大。达。大。

我们决定“我们”是非重读的，所以这句话的节奏开始为：da，da。

然后’absolutely’在第一个音节上有次重音，在第二个音节上有一个非重读，

在第三个音节上有一个主重音，第四个音节也是无重读的。

所以听起来像这样：

da-da-DA-da。

达达达达。

所以前两个词放在一起，我们绝对，我们绝对，将是：

da-DA-da-DA-da。

达-达-达-达-达。

我们绝对。

我们绝对-

Da-DA-da-DA-da。

我们绝对-

然后有’d’ - 这是强调的，所以还有另一个’DA'。

‘the’ 没有重读，对吧？哒哒。所以我们有：da-da。

接下来，我们有“正确”和“事物”这两个词。他们都有压力，所以他们都是DA。

达达。

所以，“做正确的事”，“做正确的事”将是：DA-da-DA-DA。

达-达-达-达。

做了正确的事。

现在，让我们试着把它们放在一起：

我们绝对做对了。

哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒哒

我们绝对做对了。

你现在能听到句子中的节奏吗？

希望你能听得更清楚一点。

现在，提高感觉和听到节奏能力的一种方法

是练习如果所有音节都重读，或者所有音节都没有重读，句子听起来会是什么样子

。

这可以帮助您感受两者之间的对比。

这是在正常说的句子旁边重读所有音节的句子。

我们绝对做对了。

Versus：

我们绝对做对了。

这是在正常说的句子旁边带有所有非重读音节的句子。

我们绝对做对了。

你听到那里的区别了吗？

随着时间的推移，这种差异会变得越来越清晰。

好了，还有什么要分析的？我们已经研究过音乐、节奏，包括减少，

但我们还没有研究过链接和特定的声音。

好的。让我们分析一下这句话中的链接。

我们绝对–

这两个词使用元音到元音链接连接在一起。

‘we’ 的非重读 EE 元音链接到 ‘absolutely’ 的第二重读第一个音节，

它是 BAT 元音中的 AA。

让我们听着：

我们绝对——

你听到有一点 Y 辅音如何帮助将 EE 元音与 AA 联系起来，就像在 Bat 元音中一样？

‘我们呀，我们呀’，‘我们绝对。我们绝对 -

当元音首先出现的舌头位置在嘴里很高时，这很常见。

SHE元音中的EE，舌头在中间是拱形的，所以当它像BAT元音一样进入AA时，

你会听到轻微的Y辅音。

我们绝对 -

接下来我们有：“绝对做到” - 这两个词使用元音连接到辅音连接。

这被认为是更简单的链接类型之一，因为您只需

从前一个元音直接移动到后面的任何辅音。

在这种情况下，你有未重读的 EE，如“absolutely”的 SHE 元音

连接到“did”的 D 辅音。

我们绝对做到了——

接下来：“做到了”。

在这里，我们从一种更简单的链接类型转到一种更困难的链接类型。

这是辅音连接的辅音。

但在这种情况下，我们从“did”的结尾辅音连接

到简化的“the, the”的浊音 TH 辅音。

让我们听听他在这里做了什么。

Did the-

这听起来有点棘手，但他在这里使用了未发行的 D。

D辅音是停止辅音 - 停止辅音有两个部分。

第一部分是停止气流，第二部分是释放气流。

所以，在这个例子中，did the，did the，第二个 D 没有被释放。

我们有声带的振动，发出 D 音，然后它直接进入下一个音。

所以舌头仍然在上牙后面，声带为 D 辅音而振动，

但我们没有释放成真正的 D 音，而是立即进入浊音 TH 辅音。

这里是慢动作，更容易听到：

Did the–

did the–

did

the– did the-

当然，说话的时候发生得更快，但那是它在慢动作中的声音。

Did the–

这里更快：

Did the–

您确实听到了 D 辅音的开头，did，浊音部分，did，但您没有听到释放。

做了，做了。

以这种方式连接停止辅音可以让我们说话更顺畅。

如果我们释放 D 辅音，我们的讲话会变得有点断断续续：

你听到了吗？

做了

– 做了

– 做了–

做了–

好的，接下来是什么：“正确的”。

你觉得这是什么样的链接？

‘正确的’。

它是辅音的元音，减少的 THE 的 schwa 直接链接到“右”的 R 辅音。

正确的——正确

的——

好的，最后一个：“正确的事情”。

这里的链接类型？

辅音再辅音。

‘right’ 的 T 链接到 ‘thing’ 的清音 TH。

这次“正确”的 T 发音为 Stop T，以创建更平滑的链接质量：

正确的事情，正确的事情。

由于 T 是清辅音，因此您不会像我们在“did the”中使用 D 那样听到清音。

正因为如此，您不需要将舌头放在牙齿后面来进行 Stop T。

相反，您可以使用我们所说的声门停止来简单地阻止喉咙中的空气。

对，对，对，对–

对–

这样可以更容易地立即将空气释放到清音TH辅音中。

让我们听听释放 T 和停止 T 之间的区别：

正确的事情，正确的事情，与正确的事情，

正确的事情。

使用 Stop T 会更顺畅。

正确的事情–

好吧，让我们听听整个事情，所有这些都是相互关联的：

我们绝对做了正确的事情。

我们绝对做对了。

惊人的！

我们几乎涵盖了所有内容。

最后要看的是每个单词中的特定声音。

现在，我们已经通过查看链接和归约来完成其中的一些工作。

但是让我们从头到尾讨论这个句子：

We - 这是我们的非重读音节之一，使用W辅音和非重读EE元音。我们。我们。

它与“绝对”的第二重读音节的 BAT 元音中的 AA 相连。

AA 元音后面跟着一个 B 辅音，当它移动到一个 S 辅音 Abs 时几乎没有释放 -

然后是一个 schwa 声音，然后是一个 Light L，它开始主要的重读音节“lu”。

Absolu——Light L 后面跟着 OO，就像 BOO 元音一样，Absolu——后面跟着一个 Stop T，

它释放成一个 L 辅音，并以一个不重读的 EE 元音结束。

绝对–

我们绝对–

现在，我要播放“我们绝对”的剪辑

，我希望你听一下剪辑，并且会有空间让你重复三遍。

我们绝对 -

很棒。现在，让我们看一下句子的结尾。

‘absolutely’ 的非重读 EE 链接到 ‘did’ 的 D 辅音。

D 辅音后面跟着一个 IH，就像在 SIT 元音中一样，然后

是我们之前讨论过的 Unreleased D 辅音。做过，做过。

这与“the”的浊 TH 辅音有关。

浊音 TH 辅音之后是简化的“the”中的 schwa 音。

Did the- Did the-

那 schwa 链接到“正确”的 R 辅音。

对。 R 辅音后跟一个 AI，如 BUY 双元音，然后是一个停止

T。Did the

right– Did the right-

连接到“事物”的清音 TH。

TH 跟在 SIT 元音中的 IH 之后，然后是 NG 辅音。事物。

做了正确的事。

现在，我们将播放剪辑的那部分并重复三遍。

做了正确的事。

现在让我们完成整个句子，你会听到剪辑，并且会有一个空间供你自己重复。

我们绝对做对了。

就是这样。哇！做得好。这是关于一个六字句子的大量信息。

现在，让我们再多听几遍句子，看看你是否能

以新的方式听到音乐、节奏、链接、还原和特定的声音。

我们绝对做对了。

希望这句话对你来说是新的。

这就是这种深入分析的伟大之处。

它们可以帮助您以新的方式听到单词和短语。

通常，阻碍学生提高

发音的原因是他们觉得自己已经知道如何说某些事情——

没有意识到他们说某些单词的方式与母语人士非常不同。

你不需要做所有这些分析来从中获得一些东西。

您可以只使用节奏模式分析、特定声音分析或音乐分析。

其中任何一个，或所有这些，都会帮助你在说话时感到更加自信。

这种句子分析技术可以帮助您以一种可能是新的方式深入地听英语。

起初，这种技术似乎势不可挡。但是你做的越多，就越容易听到音乐、

感受节奏和命名链接类型，这些链接被用来创造

我们都追求的流畅流畅的英语质量。

从你最喜欢的电视节目中取一句话，然后做同样的分析。

我保证，如果您这样做，您将能够更准确地模仿该句子

，并且听起来更像母语人士。

祝你好运，祝你练习愉快！

非常感谢您使用 Rachel 的英语。
