【リスニング】英語の音の変化３パターンをどこよりも分かりやすく解説します！

There are three basic types of changes, so please realize that this is easier to say. Hello, everyone. I'm Roy Nishizawa, an English doctor. On this channel, I teach you about unusual learning methods that make difficult English easy to understand. Mr. Roy, I would like you to tell me in detail about the changes in English sounds. Understood. Let's start with a quiz. Do you know what I'm saying in English? What did I just say to the first question, check it out? You said, check it out. That's good. As I told you in the listening video before, it's important to grasp the sound first. It's great that you're aware of that. So, can you translate check it out into words? Well, the impression is check it out. Oh, that's right. Some of you who are watching this video may have figured out that it's check it out. Some of you may have figured out that it's check it out. Let's move on to the second question. Checked it out. What? This is the third video about the correct way to listen. In the first video, I told you that many people have a wrong way of listening and that they listen while thinking about the meaning. That's how you listen, so even if you're listening a lot, you can't improve your listening skills. It's not listening anymore to think about the meaning and listen while guessing. First of all, I told you that it's important to be aware that you're listening to the sound. This listening video is very popular, and I'm really happy that the number of views has exceeded 10,000. And in the second video, I told you that it's not a rule to change the sound. It's not at all a rule that you have to change the sound. It's not like that, it's easier to say, so it changes. It's such a simple story. That's why when we learn, we can't help but think that it's easier to say. If you don't feel that way, it's a waste of time. And in order to realize that it changes because it's easier to say, it was important to understand the shape of the sound as a premise. As an example, I put out a sentence called It is a book. If you read this in katakana, it will be It is a. I draw the shape and image of the sound in a square, but most of them are ellipses. And the scene is an image that sticks to its head. Most of them are ellipses, so the sound basically doesn't change. In Japanese, foreigners say that it sounds like a machine gun. And the shape of the sound in English is like this. In English, there is no distinction between vowels and consonants, and they are lined up in the same way. That's why the sound is easy to change, and it's easy to say that it changes naturally. So I'd like to wrap this up and get to the point. There's one more thing I'd like you to keep in mind. It's a misunderstanding that you can't hear it because the sound changes. I explained this in detail in the last video, so if you haven't seen it yet, you can take a look at it. The sound doesn't change whether it changes or not. So it's important to hear it anyway. It's a strange story that you can't hear it because the sound is changing. If you are aware of that, it will be difficult to improve your listening skills, so please be careful. But of course, it's very important to know how the sound changes, so I'll explain it in detail in this video. There are basically three major patterns in the change of sound in English. But as I always say, don't be relieved to remember the pattern. There are three basic changes, so first of all, make sure you realize that this is easier to say. Then you don't have to think about the three patterns. I hope you can enjoy it. The first change is that the sound and the sound are connected. In the previous example, after the T sound of IT, there is an E sound of IS. And after the Z sound of IS, there is an A sound of Z. It's harder to pronounce this as IT IS A. So it connects naturally like IT IS A. If you want to explain it analytically, it's natural to connect it as it is when the vowel comes right after the sound. Next, let's take a look at CHECK IT OUT that I said at the beginning. First of all, CHECK is finished with the sound of K. So it connects with the sound of IT behind. And the T sound of IT is also connected with the sound of OUT behind. So when you connect it, CHECK IT OUT becomes CHECK IT OUT. First of all, this is the first step of the change. Tony, please go and try it. That's right. Then everyone watching the video, please go and try it. CHECK IT OUT Next, let's change CHECK to CHECKED. Then, what was CHECKED earlier will sound like CHECKED. So it's not CHECK IT OUT, it's CHECKED IT OUT. Let's try this too, Tony. CHECKED IT OUT That's good. Then everyone watching the video, please go and try it. CHECKED IT OUT The first change was that the sound of CHECKED naturally connects with the sound of OUT right after CHECKED. Then, the second change is that the sound of CHECKED falls. Some people say that CHECKED falls in the sense that the sound of CHECKED is not heard, and some people say that CHECKED swallows the sound. As an example, let's go with AT THAT TIME. AT THAT TIME, which means at that time, sounds like this. AT THAT TIME I want you to try it as it is. AT THAT TIME Tony, go ahead. AT THAT TIME It's hard to say, isn't it? It's hard to say, yes. Everyone watching the video, please dare to say something that is hard to say. AT THAT TIME It's hard to say, isn't it? Here, behind the scene of AT, T, T, there is a scene called THAT, Z. In other words, there are consecutive scenes. The first scene is called the explosion sound. It's the sound that explodes after you hold your breath. There are six explosive sounds. P, D, K, B, D, G, B, D, G. These six. When there is a scene right after this explosion sound and it's hard to say, you swallow or drop this explosion sound. AT THAT TIME The sound of T that appears three times is the sound that explodes when you put the tip of your tongue around the upper teeth. If this is in your mouth, it's the sound that explodes when you put your tongue around the base of your teeth like this. Please try it. Everyone watching this video, please try it. And the sound of Z is the sound that puts the tip of your tongue on your teeth. The sound of Z may be a little difficult, so even if you can't do it well, even if it sounds like Z in Japanese, it's the sound that uses the area around the gums. That's why the position where you put your tongue is very close to T. That's why it's hard to say AT THAT TIME, so you swallow T. I'll explain what it means to swallow. This explosion sound is made by making the breath explode. You put your tongue like this and hold your breath. Then it explodes. At that second stage, the sound comes out. You do it up to the point where you hold your breath at this first stage, and you swallow it so that it doesn't explode as it is. So it's not AT, it's AT. The shape of the mouth is facing the pronunciation of T. But it doesn't explode. So it's not just AT. You swallow it like that. Please try it, Tony. That's good. Everyone watching the video, let's try it. It's connected smoothly, right? And the T sound is repeated at THAT TIME. It's hard to say THAT TIME. So you swallow the first T and explode at the second T. That's right. It's like this. Let's try it, Tony. That's a good idea. Let's try it. It's like this. Let's try it, Tony. That's a good idea. The second T sounds like this. That time. Please say it, Tony. That time. That's right. Let's try it, everyone. That time. The point here is that the first sound is absorbed, so there is a space. Not at the time, but at that time. The absorbed sound remains as a space. Let's say it again. At that time. Please say it, Tony. At that time. That's right. The rhythm is important here. Let's try it, everyone. At that time. This is the second pattern, which is the basic of the sound falling and being absorbed. There is a little more application pattern. First of all, when you think that the end of the sentence, the end of the sentence, is expanding, you often absorb it. For example, I know that. I know that. Like this, you often end the sentence by absorbing it. It doesn't matter if you make it expand or not. Let's try it. First of all, Tony. Don't absorb it, just say I know that. I know that. Then, absorb it and say I know that. I know that. Good. Then, everyone watching the video. Don't absorb it, just say I know that. Then, absorb it and say I know that. By the way, the beginning of check it out and checked it out is also out of T. By absorbing it, it will be like check it out, checked it out. I see. The out of T was absorbed. And another application pattern is when there are more than three consonants in a row. For example, there is a verb called ask. Tony, do you know what it means? Well, it's like asking. That's right. It's a verb like asking or asking someone. This pronunciation is ask. When it becomes a past tense, it becomes asked. It's like that. There are three consonants in a row. Then, the middle consonant, the consonant of the broken sound, will fall. Then, it will be like asked. Like she asked. By the way, this doesn't absorb it, it completely falls. Try saying it. She asked. Tony, please. She asked. It's easy to say, isn't it? Yes, it's easy to say. Then, everyone watching the video, she asked. She asked. And after the purpose, let's add me and make it she asked me. Then, there will be more M, so there will be four consonants in a row. Then, it will fall to T and become she asked me. Let's go, Tony. She asked me. OK. Then, everyone watching the video, she asked me. She asked me. Well, it's not so common to have more than three consonants in a row. However, by dropping it like this, it's very easy to say. That was the second pattern of the sound falling and absorbing. And the third one. The other basic pattern is the sound of Y. As a pronoun, we write it like J. But there is a case where the sound changes depending on the scene. For example, this year. The sound of S is usually around the upper teeth. We put the tip of the tongue around the root of the upper teeth. And the sound of Y is a little further back. So, the sound of S is pulled by the sound of Y. You can change it to the sound of SH. You can just say this year. You can change it to the sound of SH. You can say it like this. By doing so, it's a little easier to say. Please try to say it. First, don't change it. This year. Then, change it to the sound of SH. This year. How is it? It's much easier to say afterwards. Then, everyone watching the video, don't change it. This year. Then, change it to this year. Another famous one is I miss you. Tony, do you know what it means? Well, is it something like I want to see you? In love. Yes, it's a lonely guy without you. So, as a pronunciation, you can change the part of miss you to miss you. Change the sound of S in front of Y to SH. You can do that. Let's say this too, Tony. Don't change it, I miss you. I miss you. Change it to I miss you. I miss you. Then, everyone watching the video, I miss you. Change it to I miss you. And last year, which means last year. You can change this too. You can say last year as it is. You can also swallow the T and say last year. In addition, by attaching it to the sound of Y, you can change it to the sound of CH like last year. Last year. Let's try it, Tony. Last year. It's easy to say, right? Yes, it's easy to say. Then, everyone watching the video, last year. Last year. I'll repeat it, but this is not a rule or anything, so I hope you can use it by choosing what is easy for you to say. So, I explained the changes in the sound of three patterns. These three are the basic patterns. The important point is that it's easy to say, so you just have to do it. It may or may not change depending on the speed at which you speak. That's why it's important to realize that it's easier to say. Please imitate the pattern and realize that it's easier to say. And then, I explained why check it out becomes check it out. I'll explain why it becomes like that in another video. First of all, I hope you can master the three basic sounds. I understood the basics of sound change. I was able to understand the pattern of sound change, so I wanted to listen to various English. It was helpful today. Thank you very much. Thank you for watching today's video until the end.
