No one understands spoken English, which is embarrassing.

No one can understand spoken English, mainly because of pronunciation. I'll sort it out for you in the English column. No one understands spoken English, which is embarrassing? I hope it will help everyone!

For most English learners, the accent is not standard and no one can understand spoken English. But looking for its reasons and methods can only end in vain. Here, I will talk about some ways to correct my accent and practice my spoken English.

There is no doubt that children in early childhood are very dominant in learning pronunciation, while adults are weak in learning language because of their natural accent problems. But as long as adults have an advantage over children in early childhood, they will know how to use resources and methods to practice correcting their accent problems.

First of all, if we want to correct the accent problem, we must realize what causes the accent problem.

▲ The first reason: the phonetic symbols are not enough.

Maybe many people don't study phonetic symbols systematically at school, and some people think phonetic symbols are not important. In fact, English sentences are made up of words, but words are made up of phonetic symbols. When we say a sentence, we find that the derived sentence is not so standard. This is because your pronunciation of words is not standard.

Then we should speak standard and fluent spoken English. If you want to completely correct your accent, you must learn the phonetic symbols well.

Many people's understanding of phonetic symbols only stays at 48 international phonetic symbols, and then there is no more.

In fact, pronunciation includes syncopation and suprasyncopation. The syncopation phoneme mainly refers to a single pronunciation (such as vowels and consonants), and the category of suprasyncopation phoneme goes beyond a single phoneme, mainly referring to the stress, linking, weak reading, rhythm and intonation of words, sentences or sentences. To learn phonetics, we should not only learn phonetic symbols, that is, syncopated phonemes, but also pay attention to the study of suprasyncopated phonemes such as stress, linking and intonation. For Chinese-speaking learners, the most common pronunciation errors are as follows:

1) confuse long vowels with short vowels.

The most common phenomenon is to confuse [i] with [i:], such as ship[? P] and sheep [? Me? P] Anyway, even beach and bitch (you should pay attention to this) "Do you live here?" If you are not careful, it may be read as "Are you leaving here?" In addition, [u] and [u:], [a:] and [? ] is also often mistaken.

2) Confuse consonants

For example, use [s] instead of [? ], this is a common and serious problem. Some people often pronounce think as sink, "thank you" as "sinking you" and "three" as [sri:]. In addition, [w] and [v] are easily confused, for example, river is pronounced [? r？ W? r ]

3) the problem of continuous reading

Many people have no concept of linking, and English reading and oral English are basically not linked. For example, Americans may read "her eyes" as [h? : rais], sounds like? Her rice? . Not knowing the rules of continuous reading will not only affect oral expression, but also interfere with listening comprehension.

Uh-huh. So how should we learn phonetic symbols systematically? Do you have any good pronunciation lessons to recommend?

I recommend the Complete Course of English Pronunciation Correction in andy krieger. He is a famous accent correction teacher in Hollywood, a certified education expert in North America, and? K method? Inventor of accent teaching. He instructed many stars to correct their accents, such as Li Bingbing, Jackie Chan and of course foreign stars. He will guide you how to pronounce each letter and word with your mouth, master pronunciation skills and speak standard and formal English.

But if possible, it is suggested to ask a teacher to help correct the pronunciation problem, because with the teacher's guidance, you can point out the pronunciation problem according to your own life scene, instead of being deeply influenced by self-study. Have you read this phonetic symbol correctly? Why do you read [s] and [? ] Is it sound? If you are interested, you can go to Lezhi's phonetic symbol course to experience it and see what it feels like to have a teacher's guidance. /market/2065 438+04/English/how practice . shtml？ uid=Adb03 16

▲ The second reason: less oral output.

Many friends who study oral English feel that their pronunciation is not standard, so they should speak less so that people will not laugh. Some friends will appear. Obviously, the last sentence was still chatting well, but the next sentence didn't know how to organize vocabulary, so it got stuck at once. In the final analysis, we practice less, and language is a problem of input and output. When our phonetic symbols reach the standard, we only need to find more partners and teachers to practice sentences and communicate, and our spoken English will naturally improve.

If you really don't have a partner to practice oral English, you can also find some American dramas close to life and some oral English tutorial videos to practice. The more popular and effective American dramas are Friends and Modern Family. The more recognized oral English course is the new concept series, and there are two teaching videos, Travel All over America and Direct English.

Spend a certain amount of time every day to keep the output, then you will accumulate more and more sentences, and you will blurt them out when you communicate with others.

▲ The third reason: insufficient persistence.

It's not that you don't work hard enough, but that you don't persist enough. I think hard work and persistence are very subtle phrases. In fact, as long as you spend an hour or two learning English every day, your spoken English will change greatly after a long time, which is not very laborious at first, let alone hard work. What is hard work? My cognitive effort is to spend seven or eight hours immersed in learning every day.

But too many people study for a month or two without results, and then give up. This is normal, because human beings have their own filtering system to give up those things that are difficult to adhere to.

Self-study is difficult, and long-term persistence is even more difficult. If you don't take learning English as a part of your daily life, please give up early. If you have a reason to learn English, then make a plan and stick to it.

Learning a language is a painful thing, but through learning a language, we can know different worlds, which is why we strive for it.
