I’m teaching at preschool in a US base in Okinawa so I do know how kids are speaking English, however, I’ve found out lots of points that I didn’t even recognize. Two thumbs up, Ms Summer !!! 👍👍
「英語ネイティブの発音のベースは音声変化」、我が意を得たり、でした。 音声変化の背景が ”長ったらしく話さずにできるだけサボる・楽する” であること、「掘った芋いじくるな」が what time is it now で通じること、などのことから、英会話はこまごまとした発音にとらわれるよりもリズム習得に力を入れるべきかな〜、と個人的に思っていたのですが、その思いを強くしました。。。
Oh my gosh. I’m an English speaker who grew up part time in Japan. I’m getting into RU-vid for improving my Japanese skills as I prepare to move back from The States. This is very helpful for me to improve my comprehension. So glad I found this! 😊 It is difficult to listen to this entire video, but going forward I plan to challenge myself as new ones come out. 🙋🏻♀️
Sometimes children may haven't learn how to say the letter sounds correctly when they are still younger, such as saying the short "o" sound into a short "u" sound (in words like love, brother, bothersome), but it takes time for them to figure it out when they grow up.
