to 不定詞

And I am here today to talk to you about exercises versus drill practice for sounds in words.

今天我要來跟大家聊聊，關於單字發音的練習和模仿練習。

And just while you are speaking, I get so many requests for me to make a video on how to complete exercises for your mouth so that you can be a clearer speaker.

很多朋友在講話的時候，都希望我能拍一支影片，教大家怎麼做口腔練習，讓發音更清楚。

I'm here to tell you you don't need any special exercises besides shadowing practice to practice words and just completing some drill, which means repetitions to learn and to sort of solidify the motor pattern that you need to say words.

我想告訴大家，除了模仿練習來練習單字和一些重複練習來學習、鞏固發音的動作模式之外，你不需要任何特別的口腔練習。

The reason that you really do not need an exercise program for your mouth is because most of my students do not have a disability.

你真的不需要一套口腔練習計畫，原因是因為我大部分的學生都沒有任何障礙。

And I would say in my 20 years of coaching people on better communication, I've seen hundreds of people, I've had two people who have truly had a speech or a hearing or some type of true communication disability.

說起來，在我這20年指導大家改善溝通的經驗裡，我看過幾百個人，只有兩個人真的有語言、聽力或某種溝通障礙。

Most people who seek my help here on YouTube and on my podcast, you just need to know what you were doing differently, what you need to do to be clearer and more effective in your communication.

大部分來我的 YouTube 和 Podcast 尋求幫助的朋友，你們只需要知道自己哪裡做得不同，需要怎麼做才能讓溝通更清晰、更有效。

I compare this to driving or learning how to play the guitar or even learning how to golf or maybe play pickleball.

我把這個比喻成駕駛，或是學習彈吉他、學高爾夫，甚至是打羽毛球。

Yes, you can do some exercises to maybe increase your strength, but

沒錯，你可以做一些練習來增加你的力氣，但是

You need repetitions of the skill that you are learning.

你需要對你正在學習的技能進行重複練習。

And in communication, that is no different.

在溝通這方面，也是一樣的道理。

So if you are looking to finally make sure that you use the correct ending on a word, you need to practice word endings.

所以，如果你想確保你能夠正確地使用字尾，你就需要練習字尾。

If you always say a school and you need to maybe stop using that initial vowel, then you just need to practice S blends together and just kind of keep doing repetitions.

如果你總是說 "a school"，而你需要改掉那個開頭母音，那麼你只需要練習 S音群，然後不斷重複練習。

Once you get really good at that, you need to start using all of these new skills and these new sounds while you are maybe reading and then while you are talking to someone, it is about using the sounds in words, not necessarily building strength with your mouth.

一旦你對這個很熟練了，你就要開始在閱讀時運用這些新技能和新發音，然後在跟別人對話時也運用，這是在於運用單字裡的發音，而不是用嘴巴來建立力氣。

You already have strength with your mouth.

You already have the ability to move your mouth because you speak another language and you are using your mouth to speak perfectly in that language.

你本來就有能力移動你的嘴巴，因為你會說另一種語言，而且你在用你的嘴巴完美地說那種語言。

I find in my 20 years of experience, the best outcomes when people want to change their way of speaking is to, number one, identify what the issue is.

在我20年的指導經驗中，我發現當大家想要改變說話方式時，最好的成效來自於，第一，找出問題是什麼。

Number two, to practice what you need to do to change that issue in a very easy way.

第二，用非常簡單的方式，去練習你需要做的改變。

If we're talking about changing your pronunciation, that could be practicing words, then make it a little harder.

如果我們在談論改變發音，可以從練習單字開始，然後再稍微增加難度。

Again, if we're talking about pronunciation, then practice those words and sentences while reading and then while having a conversation.

再次強調，如果我們在談論發音，那麼就要練習在閱讀時，然後在對話時運用這些單字和句子。

Drills alone won't guarantee that you're able to do something.

光是練習本身，並不能保證你一定能做到。

It's about sort of upping that ante and transferring your skills to real world situations that are going to make the difference.

這關乎於提升門檻，並將你的技能轉移到真實情境，這才是關鍵。

Communication doesn't happen in isolation, so get out there, practice what you need to do while you are having a conversation, and

溝通不是孤立發生的，所以走出去，在對話時練習你需要做的，

your brain will generalize those skills more quickly.

你的大腦就會更快地將這些技能類化。

One trick that I tell all of my students that really, really works is to find words that are really difficult for you to say that you use all of the time at work.

我告訴所有學生的其中一個技巧，而且真的非常有效，那就是找出那些對你來說非常難發音，但你又經常在工作上使用的單字。

Practice those words and then kind of keep a little list of those next to your computer at work and make sure that you are doing your best to pronounce those words perfectly during the workday.

練習那些單字，然後在工作時，在電腦旁邊放個小清單，確保你在工作時間盡量把那些單字發音得完美。

All of those little micro practices will add up to a lot of practice by the end of the day, and

所有這些微小的練習加起來，一天下來就會累積很多練習量，

you will more easily generalize those words, those things that you say all of the time, and

你會更容易類化那些單字，那些你平常經常說的話，

you will have faster improvement to be as clear and as confident as you want to be.

你會更快進步，變得和你想要的清晰和自信一樣。

So if you want increased participation in meetings at work, reduce effort to communicate with even maybe the person who is the checkout lady at the grocery store.

所以，如果你想增加在工作會議中的參與度，減少與人溝通的力氣，即使是跟超市結帳的店員。

If you want greater flexibility to communicate with everyone, not just people who really know you well, and

如果你想更彈性地與每個人溝通，而不只是跟你很熟的人，

if you want more confidence and changes that last, then embrace practice of words.

如果你想要更多的自信和持久的改變，那就擁抱練習單字吧。

Don't worry about practicing exercises with your mouth.

Just do the work, practice the skill, and

只要做好你的工作，練習你的技能，

use that pronunciation throughout the day and you will get there.

並在一天中運用你的發音，你就會達成目標。

Good luck everyone, and I will see you again soon.
