Understanding the diffrence between "R" and "L", and the difference between "see" and "she" made me count much faster
Yesterday, on the last day of this holidays, I encountered an ad.
It was about an English learning program which focuses on pronunciation with a goal to acquire speech speed of native speakers and understand what is spoken on a movie.
My goal wasn't really joining a conversation with a native speaker, so I wasn't one who buy the program. I, however, was interested in the English teacher the ad recommends to take a course of.
Seeing his video, I learned that making right sounds is the first step to learn "power-saving" pronunciation native speakers are said to use in their daily conversations.
I adopted some of program. When I practiced pronunciation with super slow speed, I was able to be much more conscious of each sound I was to make than ever before. Unfortunately, I noticed that I couldn't really tell the difference of the pronunciations between "L" and "R", or "see" and "she".
On other videos, I learned to make these differences of pronunciations. It was amazing.
But the real amaze was when I had a bath today.
I had thought that I had been too tired to do my routine count-down habit. I pronounced super slowly from 999 to 990 for around a minute. Then a change happened. By the time I exited the bathtub first I had counted down to 980, for I counted really slowly, and next the numbers succeeding was out of my mouth with super fast speed on my mouth, and in the next one minute, I counted down to 900 and further.
It was a little while after I left the bath room that I counted down to zero.
Two differences in my pronunciation has made me able to pronounce much faster than ever, and even close to twice as fast.
