ドクターDの海外で通用する発音を目指せ!

「曖昧母音が分からない、音声変化や脱落が聞き取れない」これらは全て「英語のリズム」を理解することで解決できます!トピック紹介皆さんこんにちは、発音ディレクターDr. Dです。英語の発音には日本語には存在しない様々な要素が含まれます。例えば、短く曖昧に発音される母音(曖昧母音)、音がつながるときに起こる音声変化、また音が脱落するリダクションなど。これらが原因でネイティブの発音が聞き取れないことが多いわけです。今回はこれらを全て「英語のリズム」を理解することによって解決していきたいと思います。発音記号通りに発音しない英語英語はスペルや、また発音記号通りに発音されないことが多々あります。これはフレーズ全体を滑らかにつないで発音するために、音を変化させているからです。例えば次の様なケースがあります。・母音の曖昧化(曖昧母音)He is at school/heez ut skool/Classify/kla suh fai/・単語同士をつなぐ(リンキング)Take away/tei kuh wei/Take that/tei(k) tha(t)/・Tの変化(音声変化)Get it on/ge di daan/I want to do/uh wah nuh doo/・音が脱落する(リダクション)One of those people is…/wuh nuh thouz/Probably/Praab li/こういった音の変化が起こり、しかも速く発音されると日本人にとってはなかなか簡単に聞き取ることはできません。なので、あらかじめこういった発音の変化を知って、自分でも発音できる様にしておくことで徐々にパターンが読める様になり、聞き取れる様になってきます。そのためにはまず、英語のリズムを先に理解しておくことで、これら音の変化のパターンを全て包括的に理解することができます。英語はリズムで話す言語まず第一に知っておかなければならないこと。英語は “Stress-Timed Language”と呼ばれており、これは「ストレスで拍をとる言語」だということです。拍というのはリズムの単位のことです。簡単にいうと、「タン・タン・タン」とリズムをとると、それは3拍ということになります。「I'm coming right away」と発音すると、3拍で発音したことになります。これが拍です。手拍子は手で拍を取る動作です。英語はストレスと呼ばれる強調する音節を、この「拍」で捉えます。「I'm coming right away」というフレーズだと「com, right, way」の部分がストレスとなります。ストレスは意味が強い言葉に置かれ、単語の中のストレスの位置は決まっています。例えば、awayは /uh wei/ と2音節で発音されますが、/wei/ の音節がストレスです。このようにストレスでリズムをとるように発音すると、強い音と弱い音が交互に発音される感じになり、フレーズで発音した時に「リズミカルな発音」が生まれるわけです。Where are you?/wer AR yuh/I'm coming right away./um KUH min RAI da WEI/I'll be there in a minute./ul BEE ther na MI nut/母音の曖昧化英語を発音する時は、ストレスで声を張ったら脱力して、声を張ったら脱力しての繰り返しです。HAH ha HAH ha HAHこの「ha」の弱い音が曖昧母音になります。I'm coming right away./um KUH min RAI da WEI/ストレスが置かれない音節が曖昧化する感じです。この母音は特定の母音の音とかではなく、ただの脱力した声です。曖昧母音のエクササイズこの曖昧母音を出す感覚を、リズムで発音することで感じとってみましょう。同じ母音を強弱で発音して「はっきりした母音」と「曖昧な母音」を交互に発音します。ルール1、全体を一息で発音ルール2、脱力しながら弱音へ向かう(1) TAH ka TAH ka TAH kaTalk about itI'd like to talk about it.(2) BAH ta BAH ta BAH taI bought itI bought a lot of bottles.どうですか?母音が曖昧化するネイティブの発音感覚が少し分かりましたか?単語同士をつなぐリンキングリンキングに関しても英語のリズムが深く関わっています。例えば「Take it out」と発音する時も、全体を一息で「Take(強) it(弱) out(強)」のように強弱のリズムで発音します。このように発音すると自然と音がリンクしませんか?Take it out/TEI kih DAU(t)/これをカタカナ発音で発音すると「Take(強) it(強) out(強)」となってしまい抑揚がなくなってしまいます。Tの変化(音声変化)そして滑らかな抑揚を描くために、引っかかりやすい音を軽く濁らせて発音することがあります。これの代表的なのがFlap Tと呼ばれる「Tの変化」です。「Take it out」と発音する時、it の /t/ が弱い /d/ の音に変化しています。そうすることで滑らかに音をつないでいるわけです。この時に舌の位置は /t/ のままですが、少し弱く濁らせて発音しています。リンキングのエクササイズこの音声変化には色んなパターンがありますが、感覚は全て同じで、流れを出来るだけ止めないように、弱く濁らせて発音した結果、少し音が変化しています。(1) Get it/GE dih/Get it out of your mind/GE di DAU duv yer MAIND/(2) Wanted/WAH neh/I wanted to do that/uh WAH ne duh DOO thut/音が脱落する(リダクション)さらに英語は音が変化するだけでなく、そもそも脱落してしまう発音もあります。これがリダクションと呼ばれる現象です。One of those people/WUH na thouz/** of の /f/ が脱落している **Probably/PRAAB li/** 連続する /b/ が1つになっている **結局、これも英語のリズムなんです。ストレスが置かれる音節で拍をとり、それ以外の部分はスムーズに流れるように、少し省略されているに過ぎません。リダクションのエクササイズストレス音節に挟まれた、弱い発音が省略される感覚を感じてみましょう。(1) How's it going?/HAU zi GOU in/** it の /t/, または it そのものが省略されている **(2) I'm going to go grab some food before we get going./uh ma na gou/** going の /g/ が直前の m に吸収されている **(3) Where did you get that?/WER ju GEH/** did you が同化して /ju/ になっている **(4) I want to catch them right away./uh wa na KYAch em/** them の /th/ が脱落している **まとめというわけで今回は日本人にとって英語の聞き取りにくい要素となる、母音の曖昧化、リンキングや音声変化、音の脱落などの例を取り上げました。これらは結局ストレスを置いてリズミカルに発音した場合、自然とそのようになるといった感覚なんですね。どれだけ省略しても、ストレスがしっかりとリズムの軸となり発音されているから通じ合えているわけです。日本語は全ての音節を平坦に発音する言語なので、このストレスを置いてリズミカルに発音する感覚を得ることはそう簡単ではないかも知れません。しかし、こういった仕組みを理解して発音練習を2、3ヶ月も繰り返していけば、きっと感覚が掴めてくるはずです。そしてこの感覚が分かるとネイティブ発音がより鮮明に聞こえる様になります。そうすると動画を真似るコピーイングやシャドーイングの練習がちゃんとできる様になります。もし、自分ではどうしようもなければ、ドクターDイングリッシュでトレーナーをつけて少しの間やってみてください。きっとブレイクスルーできるはずです。応援していますので頑張って!それではまた来週お会いしましょう!

By adopting a heart-centered sales approach, you'll learn how to empower, support, and care for your prospective clients, ensuring they feel seen and understood. I'll share practical strategies for reframing common objections, helping you understand the psychology behind them, and providing opportunities to validate and get curious about your clients' fears and hesitations. Tune in to discover how acknowledging objections as a normal part of the process can unlock new paths for both you and your clients, fostering long-lasting and genuine business relationships.00:00 Introduction02:10 Understanding the Nature of Objections04:22 Validating and Addressing Objections20:35 Handling Common Objections35:09 Client Success Story: Overcoming Objections42:43 Addressing Financial Concerns Before Investing48:11 The Importance of Support and Accountability50:39 Dealing with the Fear of Failure56:09 Should You Try It on Your Own?59:20 Managing Overwhelm and TimingTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

550 | Decide Ai Tools made by and for brains like ours with Dr Shannan Palma

In episode 550 of ADHD reWired, Eric Tivers sits down with Dr. Shannan Palma to explore Decide—a suite of AI-powered decision-support tools built by and for neurodivergent brains. Throughout this conversation, you'll hear about: How Decide leverages AI (Gemini and large language models) to help with everyday choices and multi-step tasks. The story behind IT Assistive Technologies and the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network. Real-world examples of “decision fatigue” and how Decide's guided and randomized features ease choice paralysis. The balance between AI assistance and human insight—and why a trusting, well-prompted tool can feel like a personal neurodivergent life coach. Pricing, privacy, and the community-focused mission: 85 percent of ITI's profits fund disability-led initiatives. Bonus segments on Pride Month, coaching groups, virtual coworking, and how to get involved with ADHD reWired's summer programs. Use these show notes to get a quick overview, find useful links, and discover why Decide might become your new go-to when you're stuck choosing dinner, figuring out a daily routine, or simply need a gentle “nudge” to move forward. Episode Summary Dr. Shannan Palma—co-founder of Decide and co-director of the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network—joins Eric to unpack how tools designed by autistic and ADHD adults can transform decision making for all of us. Shannan shares her own late autism and ADHD diagnoses, the challenges she faced finding resources after getting “the piece of paper,” and how a 48-hour hackathon sparked a project that won first prize and secured nearly $400 k in grant funding. From door-dash dilemmas to life-altering choices (like whether to adopt a foster dog), Decide offers two core modes: Randomized Choice Generator Users create custom lists (e.g., favorite restaurants, daily routines) and assign energy costs. The app selects an option based on your current energy level—no more breakfast indecision or “what to watch next” paralysis. Guided Decision Assistance A series of friendly, “affirmative” prompts mirror a real-time coach. By reflecting back your own criteria (energy, resources, priorities), Decide delivers a percentage-confidence recommendation and rationale—so you can make a defensible, informed choice without overthinking. Along the way, Shannan emphasizes the importance of privacy (your data always belongs to you), ethical AI (focusing on “do no harm”), and how Decide's freemium model avoids the “ADHD tax” by offering 10 free guided decisions per month. Premium access is available for $4.99/month, but you can cancel at any time without losing progress. Key Takeaways Why “Decision Fatigue” Matters: Neurodivergent brains often struggle with countless small choices (e.g., “What's for dinner?”). Decide's randomized generator isn't just for fun—it reduces executive-function load by factoring in your energy level and pre-ranked options. Guided Mode = Personalized Neurodivergent Coaching: Instead of writing complex prompts for ChatGPT or Claude, Decide asks you targeted yes/no/unsure questions. Once you answer, it gives a clear recommendation (with a confidence score) plus a brief “why,” so you trust your decision-making process. Built by Autistic + ADHD Makers: After Shannan's late autism diagnosis, she realized few supports existed for lower-visibility autistic adults. A 48-hour hackathon (Give Back Hack Columbus) brought together autistic and ADHD engineers, designers, and researchers—leading to Decide's prototype and subsequent $400 k grant from Ohio's Department of Developmental Disabilities. Community-First Funding Model: 85 percent of any IT Assistive Technologies' profits flow back to the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network (ASR). ASR focuses on autonomy and resources for autistic adults—rather than caregiver research—aiming to expand capacity and economic inclusion across the lifespan. Privacy & Data Rights: Decide won't train AI on your personal data, and you retain full ownership of anything you input. Future plans include an opt-in research repository for autistic/ADHD lifespan data—governed by community safeguards.

So he pivoted to making toys like yo-yos, toy cars, and eventually LEGO bricks.And everyone told him he was out of his mind.“I think you're much too good for that, Christiansen,” one friend said. “Why don't you find something more useful to do!” The world was in crisis after all. People needed food, not toys. But Christiansen disagreed. In his own playful life and the life of the business he created to help others play well, Christiansen demonstrated a deep understanding of this truth: We mere Christians can glorify God by embracing fun, beauty, play, and “useless” work because our heavenly Father does the same.That's what we see in today's passage. God says that he sends “torrents of rain...to water a land where no one lives.” Why would God make it rain in an uninhabited desert? Apparently just for the fun of it!Commenting on this verse, theologian Dr. R. Paul Stevens says that God's playful nature should produce in his people a “freedom from the tyranny of utility.” In other words, godly play—not just productivity—pleases God.I'll be the first to admit that I am glacially slow to learning this. But by God's grace I am coming to see that play is productive for my soul and my goals. As Dr. Stuart Brown says, “In the long run, work does not work without play.”If you, like me, are not used to playing, let me encourage you to adopt this practice I recently found very helpful: Take stock of your play history. Ask yourself what you did as a kid or as an adult that felt like play. Based on my study of the work of Dr. Brown and others, I define play as any activity that has these 5 characteristics:I would say I “get” to do it rather than “have” to do itI lose track of time while I'm doing itI can't wait to do it againI can't stop talking about it with othersI have no deadline to complete the activityOnce you've made a list of things that have historically felt like play, schedule 30-90 minutes this week to engage in one of those activities knowing that you, like LEGO's founder, can glorify God as you do!
