こんにちは、英語で雑談！Kevin’s English Room Podcastです。
こんにちは。
おっと!
電話を落とした!
すみません。
はい。
新しい電話を買った?
いや、まだ同じ。
まだ同じ?
はい。
新しい電話の線を変えました。
はい、はい、はい。
働いていい?
うん。
はい。
はい。
毎月、私たちはこのようなことをしています。
私たちは、ケビンの英語で雑談！Kevin's English Room Podcastのプロジェクトについて、このプロジェクトの番組について行っています。
どれくらいの方が理解できたか?
うん。
それは理解できませんでした。
でも、はい。
プロジェクト番組について、私たちはDMを受けます。
いや、DMはもうない。
We get messages about English questions,
and we answer on the spot.
That's what we do on the Plus Show.
So we're going to do the same kikaku here.
Yeah.
So.
All right.
Let's do it.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah.
Perfectly.
That makes sense, right?
Yeah.
Let's do that.
Perfect explanation.
Yeah.
Great.
So this is from Lucy in the Sky-san.
OK.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Kevin-san, Yama-chan, konnichiwa.
Konnichiwa.
I'm looking forward to your update every evening.
Thank you.
Let's get started.
Today's question is about pronunciation.
OK.
Syrupの発音について
For example, syrup.
Syrup.
Syrup is a word.
The first sy is clear in Japanese.
The first sy is clear in Japanese.
It's the sy of syrup.
When you look at the English pronunciation in Japanese,
it feels like it's between a sy and a su,
as if it's still there.
Sy.
Yeah.
This pronunciation is very difficult.
When I hear native speakers like Kevin-san
or people who are good at pronunciation in the Japanese-speaking world,
I often think that there is a big difference between being able to do this and not being able to do this.
I want to pronounce it well,
so can you tell me how to pronounce it?
OK.
This word is C-I-N-N-A-M-O-N.
Cinnamon.
Cinnamon.
OK.
S-Y-R-U-P.
Syrup.
OK.
S-I-P.
Ship.
OK.
S-I-M-I-L-A-R.
Similar.
OK.
And C-O-N-S-I-D-E-R.
Consider.
OK.
That's correct.
Thank you.
OK, so syrup.
Syrup.
Syrup.
Cinnamon.
Sip.
Similar.
Consider.
S-S-
Well, it's definitely not C.
It's more like between C and C.
Something in the middle.
Right, right, right.
It's not S-Y-R-U-P.
It's not S-I-R-U-P.
It's S-Y-R-U-P in the middle.
S-I-R-U-P.
It's S-Y-R-U-P when you try to say S-I-R-U-P.
サプという言葉の発音
It's not S-I-R-U-P.
Nice.
It's S-I-R-U-P.
S-I-R-U-P.
If you say S-I-R-U-P really slowly,
and stop S-I-R-U-P in the middle,
it's S-I-R-U-P.
Right, right, you stop it there.
And then you say C.
It becomes that face.
C.
C.
Yes, there you go.
C.
Yes, you got it, you got it.
With that face.
With that face.
S-I-R-U-P, S-I-R-U-P, S-I-R-U-P.
C, right.
Yeah, yeah.
It's that thing, right?
It's S-I-R-U-P.
What about C?
Like, if you say like,
boat, S-I, S-H-I-P, like ship,
that's S-H-I-P.
That's a lot of S-H-I-P.
That's too much S-H-I-P.
It's like S-I-P.
C.
Just like Spanish.
Oh yeah, C.
Yeah, like that.
S-I-R-U-P, S-I-R-U-P, S-I-R-U-P, S-I-R-U-P, S-I-R-U-P.
Yeah, I hear some slight S-H sound.
S-I-R-U-P, S-I-R-U-P, S-I-R-U-P.
Yeah, S-I-R-U-P.
It's closer to S-I than S-I.
S-I-R-U-P, S-I-R-U-P.
Yeah.
From the pronunciation of the word su, it's closer to se.
Syrup.
Right, right.
Cinnamon.
Cinnamon. Oh yeah, that's good.
I'm saying se. Cinnamon.
Well, it's a bit more...
It's a bit more...
It's a bit too se.
Cinnamon.
Cinnamon.
But it's true, it's more like cinnamon.
It's definitely better than cinnamon.
Yeah.
A cup of coffee.
Yeah, sep of coffee.
Oh, yeah, understandable.
Pretty good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sip of coffee.
Nah, I think sep is better.
Yeah, sep is better.
Sep of coffee.
But, you know, if you only do like a perfect katakana se,
I think you have to adjust it a little bit to like sip.
Sepu to sip.
Sep, sip, sep, sip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, right, right, right.
That you do have to practice.
Yeah, you have to practice, yeah.
Sep, sep.
It's not enough.
You have to put more of the I sound in it.
But if it was serup, I guess se works better.
Ah, I see, I see.
Serp, serp.
Because there's no I in serp, right?
Serp.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
Wow.
Can you find any C sound in Japanese word?
Like syrup?
Yeah.
Like something familiar with many Japanese people.
Serum, like that.
Serum, se, se.
The first one is very similar.
日本語の発音に関する話し合い
Se, se, serum, se.
I see.
Sushi, C sound.
It's, that's S-H-I, right?
Sushi.
Not close, yeah.
But I don't think you can find it in any of the Japanese.
Yeah.
We always write S-H-I.
Yeah, syrup, se, se, se, se, se, se, se.
Yeah, I don't, I don't think it's.
I think it's close.
I think it's just, I think it's just, I think it's just syrup.
Yeah, it's not close.
I mean, it's connectable.
Yeah.
But you don't have to use the word onegaishimasu to do the ss.
It's just a simple ss, so like.
Right, right, right, true.
I feel like people can understand it just by saying ss, right?
終わりの挨拶
All right.
Yeah.
So there you go.
Right.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
