In the process of learning English, we often notice a phenomenon, that is, many English learners pursue perfect pronunciation. They often say that learning English starts with learning pronunciation. I won't comment on his quality for now. But many people spend too much time pursuing perfect pronunciation. Even after studying English for ten years, they still say unconfidently: My pronunciation is not good. To these people, what I want to say is that if they don't change their ideas, their English will be ruined. English pronunciation is a process of gradual formation and growth. As your language matures, your pronunciation will gradually become finalized. So for English learners, the more you pursue perfect pronunciation, the worse your future English learning results will be, and the worse your listening skills will be. Why do you say that? First, let me give an example to prove it. First of all, we can explain it from a phenomenon: if your handwriting is very beautiful, then the words you accept must be those beautiful fonts. You are repulsive to those scrawled words, and even refuse to read them. When a doctor writes words that look like astronomical characters, you are almost reluctant to go and see them, and you can’t understand them. The listening training model actually operates in this way. From the beginning, you learned your pronunciation just like the pronunciation of an American host. You worked hard to learn it, and you learned it until you felt it was almost perfect. But when you later suddenly find that what you listen to is weird or not very accurate, and you feel that his pronunciation is poor, you will reject him, and you may not even understand him. Therefore, many Chinese English learners say that they cannot understand the pronunciation of Indians and Africans. So is it because the pronunciation of Indians is not standard, or is it the pronunciation of English by Africans that is not standard? No, it’s just that your own listening ability is too poor. Furthermore, I can prove it to you from practical experience. Because I am learning English with the goal of practicing listening. So I didn't put much effort into the standard pronunciation at the beginning. In addition, I don’t know whose pronunciation is standard. I just choose a fixed sound as my family sound and imitate it. When I express language, no matter how I imitate his voice, I find that my voice has its own characteristics. I find that I can imitate the rhythm of his speaking and the way of speaking, but I will never Nor can I imitate his voice. I have noticed that many English speaking masters (speaking without any preparation on the spot, not reading aloud, not memorizing famous quotes, can be considered an English master only if they can speak English fluently for ten minutes), as long as he can express his thoughts in spoken language, his voice They all have a specific Chinese accent. This is an ironclad fact. You can take a look at the speech of Mr. Jack Ma, the richest man in China. He speaks so smoothly, but he has the accent of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. There is no way to change this, it is the nature of the sound brought about by human beings. It does not mean that when learning English, you can change the characteristics of your own voice by imitating others. You can imitate a person, but you can only imitate a paragraph, but you cannot imitate his entire speaking pattern or his thinking. So if you imitate other people's speech. Just like imitating others, in the end they will only tie themselves tightly with a knot, and they will never be able to untie themselves. Because when I started practicing, I was exposed to all kinds of different pronunciations. My purpose was to understand your strange pronunciation. At the beginning, I only pursued understanding as a standard. My own pronunciation was gradually formed while learning from each other. Now, I can understand the perfect pronunciation of the American host, which is written in extremely beautiful and correct fonts; I can also understand the pronunciation of Africans from India, which you think is not standard pronunciation, the kind of pronunciation written by doctors. A font that looks like a heavenly book. Let me reiterate: the better your pronunciation, the worse your listening, and the worse your speaking.
