英音- 02 | Tim's Pronunciation Workshop - 英音发音工作室

本视频来源为BBC Learning English，视频主讲人为Tim，视频在小木屋（workshop）中拍摄，命名为Tim‘s Pronunciation Workshop。同时，视频中有街拍真人实例发音，比较有说服力和代表性，大概每集在5分钟以内，适合碎片化时间学习，大家一起加油吧！

自学方法

• 仔细观看视频（两遍以上），熟悉每一个发音位置；

• 依据视频，进行大量跟读模仿；

• 把自己的音频录制下来，与视频中发音进行比对；

• 找出不足，回头再学习视频中的发音技巧，进一步练习；

• 找一位同伴或英语教师（Native speaker最好），为自己纠音。

注意事项

• 发音需要大量练习；

• 一定要模仿正确的音，要打破之前的发音习惯；

• 不要短期期待效果，坚持坚持在坚持；

• 有条件一定要结伴同行，可以是学生，最好是老师；

• 发音好不等于英语好，因此还要大量输入语言素材，不要只关注发音。

Hi. I'm Tim and this is my Pronunciation workshop. Here I'm going to show you how English is really spoken. Come on. Let’s go inside. How do you ask for help? And what is the connection between this… and this? Well, this is a piece of what? And what is the female version of this animal called? Put them together and what do you get? Well, here’s how some people in London ask for help.

Would you do me a favour?
Would you do me a favour?
Would you do me a favour?
Would you do me a favour?
Would you do me a favour?

Tim 
Wood. Ewe. Would you – get it? Now, the words ‘ewe’ and ‘you’ have the same pronunciation, don’t they? But what happens to the word ‘you’ when it comes after the sound /d/? Watch and listen again

Tim 
In fluent speech when one word ends in a /d/ sound and the next word begins in a /j/ sound, the two sounds come together and change to a /ʤ/ sound. You also might have noticed that the /uː/ in 'you' can change to schwa. So 'would you' becomes 'woul/ʤ/ou', or even ‘woul/ʤə/’ This is an example of assimilation. Here are some more examples.

Examples
I’m sad you decided to quit.
Could you get here by midnight?
Should you see him, can you give him a message?
I don’t think the gold you bought was real.

Tim
Right, so you've heard the examples. What do we do? Listen and repeat.

Well done. And remember, if you want to learn more about pronunciation, then please visit our website, bbclearningenglish.com. And that is about it from the pronunciation workshop for this week. I'll see you soon. Bye bye! Right, now, what am I going to do with you? Ha ha – what am I going do with ‘ewe’, get it? Oh come on, would you give a guy a break?! She gets it.
