Have you ever been saying something and you didn’t know what you were saying?

I just finished up a live class about five minutes ago.

And I was working with a student and I was asking him to say English sounds, English

word parts.

And he didn’t know what I was asking him to say.

And that was intimidating but actually, when you don’t know what you are saying, you

have nothing to rely on.

All you can do it repeat exactly what you hear just like babies do when they’re learning

a new language.

So in today’s video, we’re going to go over an exercise to help get you to that place

of a baby for listening and repeating and building you American voice.

In this class, I was working with a student in EE, IH and EH.

There’s also AY which can throw people off.

And I was having him repeat words or word parts or just sounds and he wasn’t always

sure what I was saying.

So he wasn’t sure what words to say.

And I was like, this is great.

If you don’t know what word I’m asking you to say, you can’t rely on information

you already know.

And that information might be a little incorrect.

So if all you can do is rely on what you’re hearing and repeat that, then that’s a great

place to be.

You’re wiping all your knowledge away and you’re starting fresh just with your ears.

Be

Sorry, which word are you trying to..

Well, that’s the thing.

I don’t want to tell you.

Okay.

Because I don’t want you to think in your head.

Oh I’m going to match this sound.

Just follow me.

Yeah.

Ih

Ih

Be

Be

Be

Be

So the thing I like about this is I actually love it when my students don’t know what

they are saying because you sort of loose that structure that you have and it’s a

little bit scary but like it feels silly but then the only thing you can do is try to repeat

exactly what I say like there’s no, oh I know this sound I’m going to do that.

Think about it, a kid knows nothing.

About how to produce sounds, what sounds are in English, all they know is what they hear

and they repeat it back exactly.

Adults, we have a little bit of a problem because we have learned so much.

We’ve learned about the sounds of a new language we are learning.

Maybe we’ve learned a little bit about the mouth position, this is all mind and knowledge

and it might get in the way of building the body knowledge that we want to form the habit

of saying sounds correctly in another language.

So now, we’re going to do some vowel training together.

I’m going to be saying vowels, diphthongs, and word parts with vowels and diphthongs

maybe even whole words.

You may not know what you’re hearing.

You may not be able to identify which sound it is.

No problem.

Just do it.

As I work with my students, I found more and more that what I call the “Play it, say

it method” is so important for not just hearing a vowel but for being able to repeat

it exactly.

Precisely.

And some people think repeating something five, six, ten times, that sounds kind of boring.

But it’s not boring because the results that you get is to basically sound native.

Students that I found who really stick with the play it, say it method end up sounding

perfect at the end.

So my challenge to you is don’t get intimidated if you don’t know what word or word part

you’re repeating and then don’t get intimidated by the number of times I want you to repeat

something.

I’m going to do each thing ten times.

You’re going to repeat exactly what you hear and you don’t stop and think, you don’t

try to correct, you just imitate exactly, hear it again, imitate exactly, hear it again,

what happens in this process is your mind makes little tweaks to your body and I don’t

have to tell you what to do.

It’s actually incredible.

Your own mind becomes your own body’s coach and you end up really getting close to if

not completely on the accurate sound.

So here it is.

This is going to be a long section of hearing and repeating vowels, diphthongs, word parts

and a few words.

You’re not going to have any on-screen texts telling what you’re saying.

In fact, the screen is going to be blank.

Because I don’t want you to think anything visual.

You can even close your eyes.

You’re just responding to what you hear.

Actually, you know what a great idea is?

If you have a mirror or another device where you can do a video watch yourself.

Watch yourself doing it.

Okay here we go.

Wait, actually I should tell you I am a the end going to tell you everything you worked

on, but don’t skip ahead to that.

That doesn’t matter, what we want is for you to not be sure of what you’re saying.

You have to rely only on what you’re hearing.

Okay now you’re done each thing ten times.

Now, I’m going to mix it up on you a little bit.

I’m only going to do each word or word part or vowel or diphthong one time.

And you’re going to hear a bunch in a row and you might now know which one it is, it

doesn’t matter just say it back as you hear it.

Okay, now I going to replay all the training you have done.

This time, I’m going to show you on screen what is the word or the word part of the vowel

or diphthong you are hearing.

I’m still going to do it ten times so you have the time to listen and repeat.

This time you know what you are saying.

But don’t let that my knowledge get in the way.

Continue to just build that play it, say it, body, voice, your ear does it, hears it, your

body produces it just like you heard.

You know, I actually hope some of the times you don’t know what you’re hearing.

And I know that sounds weird, it’s like why would Rachel want me to

not have perfect listening comprehension?

But I think it puts you in a different place.

If you don’t know what you’re hearing and you’re asked to repeat it, well what

does that make you feel, what do you have to rely on?

Again, it’s just that idea of wiping all of your knowledge away and responding only

to the moment what you hear.

Trying to reproduce that.

I do a lot of training in my academy, a lot of play it, say it method.

going to love it.

您是否曾经说过某事，但您 不知道自己在说什么？

大约五分钟前，我刚刚完成了一个直播课 。

我和一个学生一起工作，我 让他说英语的声音，英语

单词的部分。

而且他不知道我要 他说什么。

这很吓人，但实际上，当 你不知道自己在说什么时，你

就没有什么可依赖的了。

你所能做的就是完全重复你 听到的内容，就像婴儿在学习

一门新语言时所做的那样。

所以在今天的视频中，我们将 进行一项练习，帮助你到达

婴儿的那个地方，倾听和重复，培养 你的美国声音。

在这门课上，我和一位 EE、IH 和 EH 的学生一起工作。

还有 AY 可以把人赶走。

我让他重复单词或单词 部分或只是声音，他并不总是

确定我在说什么。

所以他不知道该说什么。

我当时想，这太棒了。

如果你不知道我要 你说什么词，你就不能依赖

你已经知道的信息。

而且这些信息可能有点不正确。

因此，如果您所能做的就是依靠您所 听到的并重复一遍，那么这是一个很棒的

地方。

你正在抹去你所有的知识， 你只是用你的耳朵重新开始。

对不起，你想用哪个词……

嗯，就是这样。

我不想告诉你。

好的。

因为我不想让你在你的 脑海里思考。

哦，我要匹配这个声音。

跟我来。

是的。

我是如此，我喜欢这件事是我真的 喜欢它的时候，当我的学生不知道

他们在说什么时，因为你有点松散 你所拥有的那种结构，它

有点可怕，但就像它一样愚蠢 但是你唯一能做的就是尝试完全重复

我所说的，就像没有一样，哦，我 知道这个声音我会这样做。

想一想，小孩子什么都不懂。

关于如何产生声音， 英语中的声音是什么，他们所知道的就是他们所听到的，

并且他们会准确地重复一遍。

大人，我们有一点问题， 因为我们学到了很多东西。

我们已经了解了我们正在学习的一种新语言的发音 。

也许我们已经了解了一点 嘴的位置，这都是思想和知识

，它可能会妨碍 我们建立身体知识，从而养成

用另一种语言正确发音的习惯。

所以现在，我们要一起做一些元音训练 。

我会说元音、双元音， 以及带有元音和双元音的词部分，

甚至可能是整个词。

你可能不知道你在听什么。

您可能无法识别 它是哪种声音。

没问题。

去做就对了。

当我和我的学生一起工作时，我 越来越发现我所说的“播放它，说它的

方法”不仅对于 听到元音而且对于能够准确地重复

它非常重要。

恰恰。

有些人认为重复 五，六，十次，这听起来有点无聊。

但这并不乏味， 因为你得到的结果基本上听起来很原生。

我发现真正 坚持演奏它的学生，说它的方法最终听起来很

完美。

所以我对你的挑战是， 如果你不知道你在重复什么单词或单词部分

，不要被吓倒，然后不要 被我希望你重复

某事的次数吓倒。

我将每件事做十次。

你将准确地重复你 听到的内容，你不会停下来思考，你不会

试图纠正，你只是准确地模仿， 再听一遍，准确地模仿，再听一遍，

在这个过程中发生的事情是你的 头脑对你的身体做些小调整，我

不必告诉你该做什么。

这实际上是不可思议的。

你自己的思想成为你自己身体的教练 ，你最终会真正接近（如果

不是完全）准确的声音。

所以就在这里。

这将是一段很长的听力 和重复元音、双元音、单词部分

和几个单词的部分。

你不会有任何屏幕上的文字 告诉你在说什么。

事实上，屏幕将是空白的。

因为我不希望你认为任何 视觉上的东西。

你甚至可以闭上眼睛。

你只是在回应你所听到的。

其实，你知道什么是好主意吗？

如果您有镜子或其他设备， 您可以自己观看视频。

看着自己做。

好的，我们开始吧。

等等，实际上我应该告诉你， 我会告诉你你所做的一切

，但不要跳到前面。

没关系，我们想要的是让 你不确定你在说什么。

你必须只依赖你所听到的。

好的，现在你每件事都做了十次。

现在，我要把它混在你身上 。

我只会对每个单词或单词部分 或元音或双元音做一次。

你会连续听到一堆 ，你现在可能知道是哪一个了，

没关系，只要在听到的时候说回来 。

好的，现在我要 重播你所做的所有训练。

这一次，我将在屏幕上向您展示您 听到的单词或元音或双元音的单词部分是什么

。

我仍然会做十次，所以你 有时间听和重复。

这一次你知道你在说什么。

但是不要让我的知识妨碍我 。

继续构建它，说它， 身体，声音，你的耳朵做它，听到它，你的

身体产生它就像你听到的一样。

你知道，我实际上希望有些时候 你不知道你在听到什么。

而且我知道这听起来很奇怪，就像 瑞秋为什么要我

没有完美的听力理解一样？

但我认为这会让你处于不同的位置。

如果您不知道自己听到了 什么，并且被要求重复一遍，

那么这让您有什么感觉，您 必须依靠什么？

同样，这只是抹去 你所有的知识，只

对你听到的那一刻做出反应的想法。

试图重现这一点。

我在我的学院做了很多训练， 很多玩它，说它的方法。

如果您对此感兴趣，请 在 Rachelsenglishacademy.com 上查看，我们

提供 30 天退款保证，以便您 试用。

如果您认为这不是 您训练美国声音的最佳场所，没问题

，请告诉我，我们将取消您并为 您退款，但我确实认为您

会喜欢它。

好的，非常感谢 你们观看这个培训视频，

我真的很喜欢当你们的英语老师， 我每周二都在这里上课。

就是这样，非常感谢您使用 Rachel 的 英语。
