    I taught English in Hong Kong for a number of years and found that one of the best ways to teach long words is to start with the last syllable and work your way to the front. For example, with simultaneously, begin with ly, then ously, neously, taneously, multaneously, simultaneously. This works very well. With each added syllable, the learner is building memory and confidence. If you're a teacher and you haven't tried this, give it a try.

    • @Pwecko
      @Pwecko Рік тому +20

      @yesfinallygot1 Learning a language is similar to learning to play a piece of music. If you come up against a difficult phrase in a piece of music, you can do the same thing. Play they last note first, then the last two notes, the last three notes, and so on, until you can play the whole phrase perfectly. Each time you play it, you are developing muscle memory. You are adding the unfamiliar note at the beginning, continuing with more familiar notes and ending with the most familiar note. If you learn from left to right, you are adding unfamiliar notes at the end, so each time you play it, you are forced to play the familiar notes over and over again until you hit the unfamiliar notes, where you are more likely to make a mistake.
      If you are learning a language other than English, this method works equally well.

      It is starts with Simul then tan pronounced "tain" emphasis on pronouncing the letter A out loud and clear and then you say eously emphasis on pronouncing the letter E of the eously part out loud and clear. The word spoken sounds pronounced like it is spelled Simul-tAin-E-us-ly. That is the fact of how it is correctly pronounced, all else is regional accent pronunciation opinion garbage.

    Now try "squirrel." When I taught ESL in New York City, most of my students were Japanese. They were really excited by the squirrels in the city, but they could not *say* "squirrel." We had some fun pronunciation lessons with that one. I spent a lot of my teaching life teaching students how to shape their mouths, tongues, etc, to differentiate between "r/l", "b/v", "p/f", "sh/s", etc, so all their struggles in this video make perfect sense to me.

      My understanding is that Japanese doesn't like to end syllables with a consonant.

Definitely English's shibboleth if ever there were one! ◡̈

    Ah, this reminds me of when I taught English in Japan. You have to find unique ways to help get around the Japanese pronunciation mindset. My students struggled trying to say groceries and jammed in like 4-5 syllables. Now I am American and we use a 2 syllable pronunciation instead of 3 so that is what I taught. What I figured out worked best and got all my students to pronounce it almost instantaneously was the following. I wrote down Grow Trees which is something they all could say. I had them repeat it a few times. I then drew a line through the T and wrote in SH. So now they had Grow Shrees. Boom 100% success rate. The look of amazement on their faces too when so many thought they just couldn't physically pronounce it, but then realized it was their head getting in the way.
