二、语音问题小结:
1. 关于句首单词/音节每每重读的问题,(例如:Can I help you?Do you listen to popular music?Can I use your computer?) Eric在晨读开头的语音纠错环节提出的时候,我立即意识到这是自己存在的问题,不经意地重读句首音节已经成了习惯,熟悉的段落、第一次读到的还未判断语气的句子,都存在这种读音惯性,阻断了语流,听起来不自然。
2. 关于“小段重复”,Eric用张艺兴的碧欧泉广告举例子,认为提升语言最好的方法就是小段重复,把一段话练到极致,如果把20%最常见的用词、语调模式练好,其他的80%自然也不会差。周末儿子回家,给他提了小小建议,就用广告的这一小段,也不算长的时间反复练习。周末返校演讲,老师发来视频,感觉他在语音语调上有了进步。以前一致以为,语音的问题三分靠练习七分靠天分,语言能力是born with 来的,其实,远没到拼天赋这一步,之前有长长的路要走,还是方法的问题。重复练习,试试把一段话练到极致。
3. 关于“及时反馈”,Eric的碎碎念:不要盲目追求数量、不要自以为是...十天的晨读,8次打卡,每次都是将就午夜12点提交作业,跟小伙伴们互动不够,但仅有的几次就让我受益了,比如much这个单词,在句子中常弱读,更接近/ə/,跟读练习的时候应该先是听清楚了,但跟读的时候出于习惯还是重读;education我念了/dju:/, 美音教材念了/dʒu:/, 是英音跟美音的区别。说来简单的跟读,耳朵会骗了你习惯会误导你,止住惯性相信耳朵,发音里的小毛病还很是不少,感谢小伙伴耐心听完我的打卡内容,得益于她们,我找到自己的盲区,然后反复练习并深刻印象。
4. 其他一些我需要注意的发音知识点:
1)口语化的连读:
going to=gonna/gənə/ , I'm going to = I'm gonna = Imna;
What are/do/have you=Whatcha, What are you going to do?=Whatcha gonna do?
2)口语中如果t在两个元音之间,读作/d/ forget about it。
3)your在句中通常弱读,/jər/, 注意单词在不同语境、位置的不同发音。
4) /s/和/z/、/v/和/f/,发音的区别并非泾渭分明,受前后音影响,在多数情况下,/z/或/v/的带声成分并不贯穿发音的全过程。比如:please /z/—/s/, 轻轻带过,声带不太振动;has to=/ztə/;have to=/ftə/。
5)发音的第一要则:relax relax relax。
6)these are =/ði:zər/, 例句:These are bees!
7)post office=/zdəfis/。
8)should=/əd/。
9)orange juice的连读,ge所发的/dʒ/不要省略,连读的本质也不是重新启动。
10)of, have 在句子中常弱读为/əv/或/ə/。
11)Tell him that I love him. Tell her that I love her. 连读中可省略/h/的读音。
12)really比较常见的读音/'rili/。
