语音改进清单
收获了特别多宝贵的反馈,晨读结束的日子反复听听、复习自己错在哪里,重点改进吧。虽然大家有时说的I紧了什么的,压根听不出来,慢慢来吧。感谢大家点赞给我鼓励,感谢大家贴心的反馈,真的都特别宝贵,谢谢大家的不嫌弃。
这里总结一下我收到的反馈。
1.音标和发音
唉,音标很多是模棱两可、概念不清了,看看赖世雄音标吧
例如:
Mozart /ˈməʊtsɑ:t/
对美音基本不看,里面的i是发长音都没搞清楚,也暴露了自己特别严重的囫囵吞枣问题,感谢蓬蓬豆提出问题和大家的讨论,让我发现了自己的问题,感谢樱苔在作业中提示到美式发音。
2.l 的音,不要跟r 弄混了
people cable
(感谢Eric,荆棘海)
3. i: 和 i 体会长音、短音、嘴型
说的那个舌头位置,体会不出来。。。。感谢翩翩,她说了一些之后貌似明白一点
(感谢翩翩、蓬蓬豆)
还发现一个问题,原来自己一直把音标都搞错了,难道用错的方法学了这十几年的英语?真真让我怀疑人生了
4.a: 不要卷舌
last 中,a:不要卷舌,而是嘴巴张大最大
(感谢荆棘海)
5.w 和 v
(感谢翩翩)
6.生词读错,唉,特别多
enthusiasm 重音在thu,读错到asm (感谢楚汐)
conquer 读的时候最后加了n的音(感谢灿灿)
cocksure 重音在sure,读错到cock (感谢罗罗)
severity 重音在ve,读错到se (感谢罗罗)
7. 连读问题
got on 可以连读(感谢素心)
知道连读,但没有刻意这样读,下次记得,不过这点暂时也不强求,因为其他做的不好的地方太多了
任务特别多,没有了大家一起学习的氛围,不知我能做到多少,压力好大。
