If that's happening, then I won't repeat those pairs out loud until the 2nd, 3rd or 4th repetition, but I *will* ultimately start repeating them as soon as they start becoming somewhat recognizable to my ears.įor my own studies, that's all I'd do, but I'm also very familiar with the IPA. I may have some trouble hearing the differences (perhaps it's the first day I'm encountering that pair, or for a hard pair, the 2nd or 3rd day that I've seen it). As for the minimal pairs, those can be harder to repeat at first. Every time I repeat those example words in future repetitions, I'm going to be doing it more and more accurately, since my ability to self-correct is getting better. Practically, I go through the trainer, and I repeat each example word out loud as I learn it from the spelling rules. Once you develop that skill, everything else can follow, primarily through mimicry. If you can hear the differences between, say, "caro" "carro" and "Car-O", then when you say them out loud, you're going to *notice* when you say "caro" but mean to say "carro" - you can self correct. Thoughts: In my opinion, the most important element in developing pronunciation is training your ears well enough that you can self-correct when you say things out loud. So I think there are a few ways to go about this, but I'll talk about some of my thoughts on the matter, and then what I do. * Originally posted by Meher Super question. Ps - hope Chicago is proving to be just as good as L.A, Gabe, and more I guess matching the symbol on the screen with the sound it makes will arrive over time, then it's a case of studying what the mouth does.Īny thoughts on the best stage to how integrate pronunciation or when to separate it as a component from the other steps. I have written down every single part of the IPA videos Gabe supplied for my language, but confusingly Gabe says 'don't worry about trying to learn any of the content in the video, the trainer will do it for you' From what I can ascertain, the trainers don't actually teach you any pronunciation. But then I wonder when I will actually get it - surely at some point I have to stop what I'm doing and separately go through all the IPA characters and get my mouth sorted out. I figure I am supposed to let my ears make sense of everything and just try and follow the IPA I am seeing on the screen, with the minimal pairs sounds. I have been hesitant to 'mouth along' (haha) with the minimal pairs trainer because I think I may learn bad habits prematurely. Practicing the unique sounds we need to learn in our mouth is not distinguished as a step here.
We have minimal pairs for hearing, then spelling, then we make vocab cards. There is no actual explicit pronunciation component despite the name. How exactly does one/do you integrate pronunciation practice into the trainers?
