＊今日の感想

今回もGoGoオンライン英会話のNicole先生に添削してもらいました。

Nicole先生の紹介は下記投稿の後半に詳しく載せてあります！

今朝、Nicole先生のレッスンを受けました。

今回はこちらの英作文を使用しながら発音指導をお願いしました。

レッスン前に先生の音声を聞きながら音読練習し、携帯のSiriに聞き取ってもらえるか試したのですが、なかなか聞き取ってもらえない単語があり、そこを中心に詳しく発音解説してもらいました。

今日どうしても発音できなかった単語が ”walking"

私が発音するとSiriは"watching"と認識するし、先生からも"watching"と聞こえると言われ、舌の動きや口の形を教えてもらいました。

先生から「注意して発音するのは大事だけど、気にしすぎると余計に不自然になってしまうから気を付けてね。」と言われたので、毎日少しずつ練習して力まず発音できるようにしたいと思っています。

先生から"ch"と"k"の練習に役立つTongue TwisterのYouTube動画も紹介してもらったので興味のある方はチャレンジしてみてください！

今日も最後まで読んでいただきありがとうございました。
