Tim's Pronunciation Workshop
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 gonna show you how English is really spoken. It'll help you become a better listener and a more fluent speaker. Come on, let's go inside. When we speak English fluently we sometimes add extra sounds in between the words to help them link together. Now, have a look at my feet. What's wrong with this? Let's ask the people of London:
Voxpops
The shoe is on the other foot.
The shoe is on the wrong foot.
The shoe is on the wrong foot.
The shoe is on the wrong foot.
Tim
'Shoe' ends in the sound /u:/ and 'is' begins with the sound /ɪ/. But can you hear another sound linking them together? Have another listen:
Voxpops
The shoe is on the other foot.
The shoe is on the wrong foot.
.he shoe is on the wrong foot.
The shoe is on the wrong foot.
Tim
When one word ends in an /u:/ sound and the next begins in a vowel sound we can just about hear another sound in between. This sound is a bit like /w/. So 'The shoe is…' becomes 'The shoewis'. This is called the linking /w/ - but it's important to remember that it's not a full /w/ sound. It happens because the mouth moves from an /u:/ sound to a vowel sound and on the way it passes through the /w/ mouth shape. Here are some more examples:

When do I have to be there?
I haven't got a clue at all.
That glue is really strong.
I really can't do it.

So, you've heard the examples, and now it's your turn. Are you ready? Listen and repeat.

Well done. Now remember, if you want to learn more about pronunciation, please visit our website, bbclearningenglish.com. And that's about it from the pronunciation workshop this week. See you soon. Bye. Now I really must get this other shoe on, otherwise I'm going to have an accident. Aaah! Too late.
