Неочевидные темы, чтобы избежать ошибок в грамматике

Поскольку грамматика неразрывно связана с фонетикой, не могу не упомянуть темы, которые необходимы вам для того, чтобы вы могли качественно усвоить грамматические правила и уверенно говорить на английском без ошибок. Подробнее о связи фонетики и грамматики я писала здесь (ВНИМАНИЕ! Шок-контент 😁 )

Здесь оставлю 11 неочевидных фонетическим тем, без которых ну никак не обойтись на уровне Advanced (C1).

  1. Английский ритм
  2. Интонация вопросов и утвердительных предложений
  3. Восходящий, нисходящий, восходяще-нисходящий и нисходящевосходящий тоны
  4. Переключение кода в рамках произносительного стандарта (вариации громкости / темпа / высоты тона / тембра)
  5. Сегментирование речи и паузация
  6. Ударение внутри предложения
  7. Система ударение в английском внутри слова (можете не гуглить! Есть урок в 7 Day Accent Upgrade на эту тему, настолько частый это запрос!)
  8. Произнесение полнозначных, вспомогательных и модальных глаголов (они все произносятся по-разному и по-разному влияют на интонацию!)
  9. Произнесение артиклей, предлогов и союзов (это также нам понадобится для интонации!)
  10. Произнесение окончаний – s/ -es/ -ed/ -ing (если не знаете, как правильно произносить, речь будет неразборчивой, рыхлой)
  11. Различение фонем [e] и [æ] (например, в man и men), [ɪ] и [i:] (например, в this и these)

Часть выше упомянутых тем (с 7 по 11) есть в 7 day accent upgrade – материалы, которые необходимы для того, чтобы ваша речь была разборчивой. В идеальном мире их должны всё это должны были донести в школе и отработать там, но этого мира не существует ))) поэтому работаем с тем, что есть! Чтобы не тратить время занятий со своими клиентами, а заниматься более серьезными вещами, я записала эти уроки.

Что же касается интонации и ритма, то отрабатывать в одиночку их невозможно. Такие темы сложны как для понимания, так и для освоения. Качественное освоение возможно только с учетом особенностей произнесения английского слога (когнитивной силлабики). Подробнее о
своем подходе я рассказываю здесь
