Продвинутая разговорная практика: урок имитации английского

Hey this is Emma from mmmEnglish!

Привет, это Эмма из mmmEnglish!

I'm super excited that you're here and that you're

Я очень рада, что вы здесь и

spending some time with me today

проводите время со мной сегодня,

to improve your English.

чтобы улучшить свой английский.

In this lesson we're going to be doing some more

На этом уроке мы еще немного поработаем над

speaking skills practice

разговорными навыками

and in particular, we're going to be practising

и, в частности, мы будем тренироваться

with the mmmEnglish Imitation Technique

по технике имитации mmmEnglish,

which is one of the most effective ways

которая представляет собой один из самых эффективных способов

to reduce your accent and to fix

уменьшить свой акцент и исправить

your pronunciation problems so that you speak

ваши проблемы с произношением, так чтобы вы говорили

more clearly and confidently in English.

более четко и уверенно на английском языке.

And it's effective because it teaches you to listen

И она эффективна, потому что учит вас слушать

to the sounds and the patterns of English

звуки и речевые образцы английского языка

and trains you to produce those same sounds yourself

и учит вас воспроизводить такие же звуки

through repetition and controlled practise.

через повторение и контролируемую практику.

You're training your mouth with your ears

Вы тренируете свой рот своими ушами,

by listening to the sounds and imitating them

слушая звуки и подражая им,

rather than training your mouth with your eyes

вместо того, чтобы тренировать свой рот глазами,

by reading and guessing the pronunciation

читая и угадывая произношение

and the rhythm of words on a page.

и ритм слов со страницы.

Now if you haven't done a lesson like this before,

Если вы не бывали на таком уроке раньше,

don't worry, it's really simple and I'm going to explain

не волнуйтесь, это действительно просто, и я буду объяснять вам

each step for you so that you know

каждый шаг, чтобы вы точно знали,

exactly what you need to do.

что нужно делать.

You just need to get ready to speak out loud with me.

Вам просто нужно быть готовыми говорить вслух со мной.

If you're new to my channel

Если вы впервые на моем канале

or new to the Imitation Technique,

или в технике имитации,

I've got some courses available via the

у меня есть несколько курсов, доступных на

mmmEnglish website to help you practise this way

веб-сайте mmmEnglish, которые помогут вам практиковаться таким образом

and you can find out more about them up here

и вы можете узнать больше о них здесь,

or I've added the link in the description below.

или я добавила ссылку в описании ниже.

To practise with the Imitation Technique, there's just

Чтобы работать в технике имитации, есть только

three simple steps that you need to follow.

три простых шага, которым вы должны следовать.

The first one is, well you just need to listen to what I say

Во-первых, вы просто должны слушать то, что я говорю

and read the words on the screen as I say them.

и читать слова на экране, когда я их говорю.

Next, you'll be listening to what I say

Далее вы будете слушать то, что я говорю,

but then there'll be a pause so that you can repeat

а потом будет пауза, чтобы вы могли повторить

what I said.

то, что я сказала.

You need to copy me exactly as you hear me.

Вы должны имитировать меня именно так, как вы меня слышите.

This step, you can do again and again and again

Этот шаг вы можете делать снова и снова, и снова

until you sound or you think you sound exactly as I do.

пока вы не будете звучать или не сочтете, что вы говорите точно, как я.

And it's okay to practise many times

Это нормально практиковаться много раз

before you move on to the third step.

прежде чем переходить к третьему шагу.

You can even slow down the speed

Вы даже можете замедлить скорость,

so that you can practise a little more slowly

чтобы вы могли практиковаться немного медленнее

before stepping up to regular pace

прежде чем перейти к обычному темпу,

because step three is a challenge,

потому что третий шаг - это непросто,

even for a native English speaker.

даже для носителей английского языка.

You're going to be listening to me and saying

Вы будете слушать меня и говорить

what I'm saying at the same time

то, что я говорю одновременно.

and that's pretty much like practising along to your

Это очень похоже на то, как вы подпеваете вашу

favourite song, right? You can't really do it straightaway

любимую песню. Сразу у вас не получится,

but with a little bit of practice it gets easier

но после небольшой практики станет проще

and you'll start having fun.

и вы будете получать удовольствие.

Now although this step is also the trickiest one,

Хотя этот шаг и самый сложный,

it's the best way to fine-tune your natural speaking skills.

это лучший способ отточить свои навыки естественного разговора.

You'll get to hear what I'm saying

Вы будете слышать, что я говорю

and what you're saying at the same time

и одновременно что вы говорите,

so that you can adjust the sounds and the rhythms

так что вы сможете настроить звуки и ритм,

so that you can match me.

чтобы соответствовать мне.

You are going to make a lot of mistakes but who cares?

Вы будете делать много ошибок, но кого это волнует?

We're going to have fun!

Мы собираемся повеселиться!

Today we're going to practise talking about a past trip.

Сегодня мы собираемся попрактиковаться в разговоре о прошедшем поездке.

Now I'm going to be sharing a story with you about

Я поделюсь с вами историей о

my recent trip to Portugal.

моей недавней поездке в Португалию.

Talking about travel is a really great way to start a

Разговор о путешествиях - это действительно отличный способ начать

conversation because there is lots of opportunity

разговор, потому что есть много возможностей

to ask questions and to share your own

задавать вопросы и делиться своим

travel experiences with someone.

опытом о путешествиях с кем-то.

Keep in mind that you can easily exchange my story

Имейте в виду, что вы можете легко заменить мою историю

with your own story about traveling as well

вашей собственной историей о путешествии,

especially once you've been practising with me

особенно когда мы уже потренируемся

for a little while.

There's going to be a pause after each sentence
