Dicas Para Melhorar a Sua Pronúncia em Ingles_Vilma Cacciaguerra

Lição 0010/2004 - Os Sons da Língua Inglesa

Na última aula aprendemos sobre pronúncia dos Passado Simples e Particípio Passado dos verbos Regulares. E já que estamos falando sobre sons, que tal algumas dicas para melhorarmos instantaneamente a nossa pronúncia antes de retomarmos o tempo passado?

A lição é um pouco densa, mas o prêmio para quem dedicar uma ou duas horinhas de estudo é dormir falando como iniciante e acordar falando como intermediário... nada mal, heim?

Para fazer os exercícios de leitura de 1 a 12, leiam o texto prestando atenção apenas na regra que está sendo ensinada. Nos exercícios 13 e 14 prestem atenção nas palavras sublinhadas.

Vocês perceberão que já um trecho, em maiúscula que não foi trabalhado. Este vocês devem tentar fazer sozinhos.

Um abraço,

Vilma Cacciaguerra

1. Preste muita atenção nos sons das vogais:

AÆ (som intermediário entre “a” e “e”) como em "have"Ō (som intermediário entre “a” e “ó”) as vezes como em "all" e "cart", geralmente quando seguido do R ou LÊI (exatamente como é pronunciado no alfabeto) como em "face" e "crazy"EEle pode ser som de "I" como ele é pronunciado na palavra "dia" ou som "ai" como ele é pronunciado nas palavras "fine"" e "bike".IO i pode ter os seguintes sons:Som intermediário entre "i" e "e", como é pronunciado em "magic".Som de "ai" como ele é pronunciado e'"fine".OA vogal "O" pode ter os seguintes sons:/a/ como em "mother"/ã/ como em "son"/ôu/ como em both, told e old./ó/ como em "before"UO U pode ser pronunciado das seguintes formas:Ã como em cupÍu como eu UnitUu como em pull, pull, bull

1. Nunca leia o “e” do final das palavras se elas não forem he, she, be ou the (exemplos: whale /ueiol/, house /ráus/, brouse /braus/)

2. Quando uma palavra termina em consoante e a próxima começa com vogal, nós falamos as duas como se fossem uma única palavra (o “e” no final das palavras, por ser mudo, não conta). Exemplo: take it, an apple.

3. O mesmo acontece quando uma palavra termina com uma letra e a seguinte começa com a mesma letra, como em: want to, useful lemon.

4. Quando, numa palavra, um T ou D aparece entre duas vogais ou entre vogal e Y, este T ou D fica com som de R como é pronunciado na



by Vilma Cacciaguerrapalavra “cara”. Exemplos: lady /lêiri/, university /iunivérsiri/, metal /méral/.

5. Lembre que quando o R vem precedido de vogal, o som dele desaparece ou é distorcido:

a. AR: car /cáá/, bar /báá/; b. IR: sister /sistõõ/, caller /callõõ/; c. ER: skirt /sskããt/, flirt /flããt/; d. OR: uniforme /iunifóóm/, corn /cóon/e. UR: purple /pããpal/

6. Lembre-se de que em inglês muitas letras são mudas, como em night, tongue, through, island, chocolate, something, morning, everything.

An atheist was walking through the woods one day in Alaska, admiring all that evolution had crEAted. "What majestic trEEs! What a powerful river! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 13 foot Kodiak bEAr beginning to charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could down the path. He lOOked over his shOUlder and saw that the bEAr was rapidly closing on him. Somehow, he ran even faster, so scared that tEArs came to his eyes. He lOOked again and the bEAr was even closer. His heart pounding in his chest, he tried to run faster yet. But alas, he tripped and fell to the grOUnd. As he rolled over to pick himself up, the bEAr was right over him, rEAching for him with its left paw and rAIsing its right paw to strike him.

"OH MY GOD!..." Time stopped. The bEAr froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving... As a brilliant light shone upon the man, a thunderous voice came from all arOUnd, "YOU DENY MY EXISTENCE FOR ALL THESE YEARS, TEACH OTHERS THAT I DON'T EXIST AND EVEN CREDIT CREATION TO SOME COSMIC ACCIDENT. DO YOU EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT? AM I TO COUNT YOU AS A BELIEVER?" Difficult as it was, the atheist lOOked directly into the light and said, "It would be hypocritical to ask to be a Christian after all these yEArs, but perhaps you could make the bEAr a Christian?" "VERY WELL." Said God. The light went out. The river ran. The sOUnds of the forest resumed...

...and the bEAr dropped down on his knees, brought both paws together, bowed his hEAd and spoke: "Lord,! thank you for this fOOd which I am abOUt to receive."

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 13 foot Kodiak bear beginning to charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could down the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was rapidly closing on him. Somehow, he ran even faster, so SCared that tears came to his eyes. He looked again and the bear was even closer. His heart pounding in his chest, he tried to run fasteryet. But alas, he tripped and fell to the ground. As he rolled over to pick himself up, the bear was right over him, reaching for him with its left paw and raising its right paw to STrike him.




"OH MY GOD!..." Time STopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river STopped moving... As a brilliant light shone upon the man, a thunderous voice came from all around, "YOU DENY MY EXISTENCE FOR ALL THESE YEARS, TEACH OTHERS THAT I DON'T EXIST AND EVEN CREDIT CREATION TO SOME COSMIC ACCIDENT. DO YOU EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT? AM I TO COUNT YOU AS A BELIEVER?" Difficult as it was, the atheist looked directly into the light and said, "It would be hypocritical to ask to be a Christian after all these years, but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?" "VERY WELL." Said God. The light went out. The river ran. The sounds of the forest resumed...

...and the bear dropped down on his knees, brought both paws together, bowed his head and SPoke: "Lord,! thank you for this food which I am about to receive."

Como Unir as Palavras

Quando uma palavra termina em som consoante e a seguinte começa em Vogal, as duas palavras são unidas como se fossem uma só.

Quando uma palavra termina com uma letra e a seguinte começa com a mesma letra (ou com sons parecidos), as duas palavras são unidas como se fossem uma só, mas criando uma leve pausa no local da junção.
