Dr.Dと一緒にシラブル分け作業をやってみよう

動画のテーマ

最近の動画では頻繁に「シラブル」を使った発音トレーニングをやっています。
手順としてはこんな感じのものです。

いつもの発音トレーニング手順

こういった感じで積み上げていくことで、ストレスで拍を取って発音しても、細かい音も崩れないといった理想的な流れが作れるからです。

自分でシラブル分けが出来ない？

英語の発音というのは結局このシラブルの組み合わせによって出来ているわけです。

しかし動画のコメントでもこの「シラブル」を自分で区切ることが出来ない。といった感じのものも多く見られましたので、今回は私と一緒に「シラブル分け」の作業を一からやってみましょう。

「シラブル分け」の作業で使う例文を用意しました。TEDからの引用でこちらです。

When I was twenty seven years old, I left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job that was even more demanding: teaching.

I went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades.

from TED by Angela Lee Duckworth
