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 going to show you how English is really spoken. Come on, let's go inside. Are you a creature of habit? For example, do you have a routine in the mornings? Every morning, I like to have a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit. Mmmm. This is what some people in London told us when we asked them what they do in the mornings
Voxpops
I always have some breakfast.
I always go to the gym in the morning.
I always drink a glass of warm water when I wake up.
Tim
One thing that happens when we speak English fluently is that we sometimes add sounds between words to help link them together more smoothly and easily. Listen again. Can you hear another sound between the words I and always?

Did you catch it? It’s hardly there but when one word ends in /aɪ/, /ɪː/, /eɪ/ or/ɔɪ/ sound, and the next word begins in a vowel sound, we can smooth the link out by adding a small /j/ sound. I always [slowly] becomes I always [fluently]. This is sometimes called the linking /j/. But be careful, your mouth normally does this naturally as your mouth changes shape between the sounds. You don’t actually want to add a full /j/ sound. Here are some more examples.
Examples
When I go on holiday I just want to lie on the beach.
The end of the film was brilliant.
I ate the whole cake in one go.
It was too high up for me to reach.
Tim
Right, now you've heard the examples, and now it's your turn. You know the drill: listen and repeat.
