今天学习辅音(consonant),定义为“which you pronounce by stopping the air flowing freely through your mouth.”,比如/p/、/f/、/n/,注意辅音是怎么发音的,元音发音时舌头不会触碰上下颚和牙齿。12月份的晨读没有参加,新年的第一个月份学习辅音,抽空将元音学习一下,今天主要学习三个辅音/d/、/k/、/g/,同时也学一些口语表达。
一、/d/
/d/和/t/的区别是一个声带振动和声带不振动,当辅音放在词尾时发音变弱,振动就没那么明显,则/d/和/t/区别就不明显了,如sit和sid
需要注意的是/d/与/t/在单词和语句中的发音变化:①在两个元音之间;②r后面跟t,/t/发音就变/d/

1.爽约 stand... up show up no-show
2.card=advantage play your card=use your advantage e.g. If Rachel plays he cards right, she will be a great heiress and you will benefit too.
play the xx card 使……招了,比如 You are playing the "I love you" card again.
I won't fall for it/ I won't buy it.我不买帐。
put/lay cards on the table摊牌
play the sympathy card打感情牌,苦肉计
三、需要注意的发音点
Hello,Diana? (Diana)This is David. (David发音/ˈdeivid/)
I waited and waited for you. You forgot our date, didn’t you? (I waited for ages.)
No, I studied and listened to CDs. And after dinner, I watched a DVD with Maddy. (字母的读法,重音在最后一个字母上)
What did you do for dinner?(did要弱读) I didn’t feel like making a big dinner, so I just heated up some frozen food.
辅音发音不要太用力,所有的辅音当放在单词结尾时都是比较轻的。
great/greasy中“ea”的发音,前者为/ei/,后者为/iː/,gnaw & gnarled中“g”不发音。
需要注意的是在学习/g/的发音时,注意going to的变化:
《现象级英语社群》1月晨读今天主要注意辅音发音要轻,在不同位置发音不同,所以各辅音不都是泾渭分明的。多多练习,快即是慢,慢即使快!掌握发音技巧,小段重复练习,本月的目标就是学好基本发音规则。
