Какие английские звуки самые сложные

Под конец мы вам оставили самое-самое сложное. А пока есть возможность отдохнуть. Еще раз напомним, зачем мы учим скороговорки. Для того, чтобы похвастаться перед друзьями – во вторую очередь. А в первую — чтобы отработать произношение. Больше всего сложностей вызывают такие звуки:

• [θ] — звучит в буквосочетании th в таких словах как think, myth, tenth

• [ð] — звучит во все том же сочетании букв th, но в таких словах как they, them, this и так далее — разница в звучании есть, и ее можно научиться чувствовать.

• [r] — английская r звучит мягче, чем русская р

• [h] — здесь тоже английская h звучит более мягко, чем русская х

• [w] — многие читают «w» как «v», но даблю произносится без соприкосновения губ

Я думаю, что они рассчитаны на носителей тех языков, для которых английский [b] не такой простой звук, как для нас. Языки все-таки бывают очень разными. Нам трудно читать английские «th», японцы не выговаривают [л], а англичанам трудно объяснить звук [ы].

Скороговорки на английском для отработки звуков

Читаем сочетание «TH»Поскольку в русском языке нет межзубных согласных, сочетание «th» для нас — большая проблема. Решить ее помогут эти скороговорки.

• I thought, I thought of thinking of thanking you.

• He threw three balls.

• Tom threw Tim three thumbtacks.

• He threw three free throws.

• This is the sixth zebra snoozing thoroughly.

• Nothing is worth thousands of deaths.

• The seething sea ceaseth, thus the seething sea sufficeth us.

• Thirty three thousand people think that this Thursday is their thirtieth birthday.

И одна длинная со звуком [w] и сочетаниями «th»:

Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not.
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot.
We’ll weather the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not.

Звуки [W], [U] Звук [w] тоже нехарактерен для русского языка, начинающие по ошибке иногда произносят его, как [v].

В этом видео диктор читает скороговорку:

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck,
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
Maybe chuck as much wood
As a woodchuck would.
That’s if a woodchuck could chuck wood

А в этой короткой скороговорке звук [w] чередуется с [v], что делает ее довольно трудной:

William always wears a very warm white vest in winter.

Звук [R]

Одна из частых ошибок в произношении — употреблении русского [р] вместо английского [r]. Кстати, говорящим на английском тоже непросто дается наш «рррр!»

Полезный совет: если у вас выговаривать согласные, попробуйте поупражняться, произнося русские слова как бы на английский манер. Например, прочитайте «раки режут рыбу», но с английским [r]: rаки rежут rыбу.

Who ran across a rough road?
Ray Rag ran across a rough road. Across a rough road Ray Rag ran.
But where is the rough road Ray Rag ran across?

Звуки [P], [F]

Произношение английских [p] и [f] отличается от русских аналогов не так сильно, как [r].

эта скороговорка со звуками [p], [f]. Возможно, вам она встречалась в другой вариации.

Here is your cup of coffee, professor
I want a proper cup of coffee,
Made in a proper copper coffee pot
We have tin coffee pot and iron coffee pot
Believe it or not,
Tin coffee pot and iron coffee pot
Are no use for me
But we don’t have copper coffee pot,
Then I’ll have a cup of tea.

А вот еще одна известная скороговорка со звуком [p], с которой часто упражняются в школе:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

И несколько скороговорок на звук [f]:

• Four furious friends fought for the phone.

• Fat frogs flying past fast.

• Five fat friars frying flat fish.

• There was a young fisher named Fisher who fished for a fish in a fissure.

• If two witches would watch two watches, which witch would watch which watch?

Скороговорки для отработки нескольких звуков: [B], [D], [T], [S], [SH] и ряда гласных

Некоторые скороговорки на английском не построены вокруг одного трудного звука, а сочетают несколько трудностей с гласными и согласными. Такие скороговорки выговорить труднее всего.

Обратите внимание, что в американском английском (а скороговорку читает американка) звук [t], находящийся между гласных, иногда произносится как что-то среднее между [t] и [d]. Получается как бы не «butter», а ближе к «budder». Если вы будете произносить «butter» с нормальным [t] в этом не будет ошибки. Это просто одна из множества региональных особенностей английского произношения.

Также в этой скороговорке перемешаны гласные [æ] (batter) и [e] (better).

Betty Botter bought some butter,
But she said the butter’s bitter.
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter
But a bit of better butter will make my batter better
So ’twas (it was) better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter.

А эта скороговорка трудная и для нас, и для носителей языка. В ней перепутаны похожие звуки.

Susie works in a shoeshine shop.
Where she shines she sits,
and where she sits she shines.
