18 Dry mouth is cracked
"Open your mouth and bite it gently, don't bite it hard, otherwise it will hurt later."
"Wang Nannan, the location of your tongue is wrong. Look at the rainy rivers in the river, the location is very standard."
“Practice more practice, practice makes perfect.”
"Come on, pronounce it together."
“THE”.
"day".
Two sounds appeared at the same time.
Zhou Yujie said loudly: "Wang Nannan, if you ask you to bite, are your tongue knotted?"
Wang Nannan was not willing to be outdone and said, "I can't blame me for this. I feel that my tongue is numb. Does it not obey the command?"
"Then why can Jiang Youyu control her tongue? Isn't your mouth useless except for eating?" Zhou Yujie had a headache.
In English, most of the pronunciations are similar to those of Chinese in China, but there is an exception, that is, the words composed of TH, and there are two pronunciations, one is θ and the other is e.
The correct way to pronounce θ is to place the tongue between the upper and lower incisors, and then let the gas spit out from the gap between the teeth and the tongue, so that the vocal cords do not vibrate, such as thank, think, three, teeth, etc.
The correct pronunciation of e is to gently bite the tongue with the upper and lower incisors, then exhale but prevent the gas from coming out, and at the same time the vocal cords vibrate, such as this, that, them, etc.
The most basic requirement for learning these two pronunciations is to be able to pronounce "tongue-biting sound", which is the basis for learning spoken English.
Although this pronunciation is difficult to learn, the difficulty lies in the initial practice. Generally speaking, as long as you have correct guidance, you can practice it a few more times, and it will not take more than half an hour.
The real difficulty lies in the subsequent development of this sound into a habit, and then in daily sentences, when you encounter this word, you will bite the tongue sound. This requires a lot of practice. Many people may not be able to speak English for their entire lives.
Today is Sunday, and Jiang Youyu and Wang Nannan come to the appointment to learn speaking together.
Out of a responsible attitude, Zhou Yujie prepared something to practice in advance the day before, and this biting tongue sound is the first step.
First of all, you need to learn how to pronounce it here, and then slowly bring it into practice. Then they need to continue to train when they go back by themselves. Standard pronunciation is the basis for the great success of oral language.
But what Zhou Yujie didn't expect was that Jiang Youyu had already practiced three or five times, but Wang Nannan couldn't practice it anyway. Every time he kept doing it, he kept saying "Daily every day..."
Wang Nannan's personality is not too bad, but his personality is a bit hot and his voice is loud. Jiang Youyu was afraid that the two of them would argue, so he quickly said, "Stop quarreling, Zhou Yujie, we have actually known this thing about the sound of the tongue. I have practiced it before, so I learned it quickly. Nannan didn't care about it before, so I learned it a little slower."
"Okay, you can practice slowly when you go home and you must learn how to place your tongue." Zhou Yujie had no choice but to give up. In fact, in school, the sound of tongue biting has long appeared in English.
But no oral exam is available, so no teacher will really take it seriously, and it is very likely that they may not even issue standards themselves.
"That's still simple Chinese. I'm so dizzy when I learn this English." Wang Nannan lay on the table and said that she didn't want to move.
"Then let's watch the show." Zhou Yujie opened the Quick Broadcast in his notebook and played the simplest American drama: Friends.
Of course, the film is very old, but it is very classic, with subtitles below. Zhou Yujie also pressed a pause when he encountered a simple sentence based on the level of the two of them, and then asked them to repeat the sentence he had just said.
Although the sentences seem simple, it is not easy for two people who have never practiced it to say it fluently.
After practicing for another hour, Jiang Youyu and Wang Nannan began to become dry and had no choice but to do anything, her mouth was doing unfamiliar movements, and her saliva was almost gone.
"Dongdongdongdongdong..." A knock on the door sounded, and a crisp sound came from outside: "Zhou Yujie, are you at home?"
"Come in." As soon as you hear the voice, you will know that it was Su Yiyi, and Zhou Yujie shouted.
Su Yiyi walked in, and what caught his eye was Zhou Yujie sitting with two girls. One of them looked pretty good, while the other was quite beautiful. The three of them sat on a chair and looked at the laptop on the desk.
Su Yiyi asked, "Well, wasn't I here at the time?"
Zhou Yujie waved his hand and said, "No, you are here at the right time."
Su Yiyi walked over and asked at the same time: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "We are learning foreign languages together, do you want to come together?"
"Friends, I like watching it." Su Yiyi moved a nearby stool and sat next to Zhou Yujie.
Wang Nannan looked at Su Yiyi and Zhou Yujie suspiciously, but he soon figured it out that the whole class knew that this guy was interested in Jiang Youyu. Now, under such a semi-date situation, he should be just an ordinary friend to entertain this girl so casually.
"This is my classmate, Wang Nannan, Jiang Youyu." Zhou Yujie introduced to each other: "This is my neighbor, Su Yiyi."
"Oh." The three of them nodded to each other, and they turned out to be neighbors.
Su Yiyi asked, "Are you learning oral language?"
Jiang Youyu smiled and said, "It's not us who are learning, it's Ajie who is teaching us."
"Ajie." This word that suddenly appeared from Jiang Youyu's mouth made Wang Nannan feel something was wrong.
"You know how to speak English? Why don't I know when I learned it?" Su Yiyi asked in surprise.
"It's nothing. I met a few foreigners online before. I often play games online, so I learned it like this." Zhou Yujie made an excuse casually.
Su Yiyi frowned and said, "Then why didn't you say it before, and you wouldn't make up for me in English."
"I just know how to speak, and the exam may not be possible." Zhou Yujie said awkwardly. After he was reborn, his energy was all about mathematics, so he had no time to do other things.
I have to think of a solution. If I continue to ask, I will be exposed.
At this time, Wang Nannan touched her lower lip and said to Jiang Youyu: "Youyu, look at me, I feel a little painful."
Jiang Youyu approached and looked at it, saying, "It seems to be a little cracked, is it getting angry?"
"Ah!" Wang Nannan hurriedly took out a small mirror from his bag, looked at his mouth carefully, and then immediately said: "Zhou Yujie, it's all you blame."
"What's my business?" Zhou Yujie looked funny. You blame me if you get angry?
"I was fine when I came in the morning, so I learned English from you for a long time. My tongue was about to spit and my saliva was gone." Wang Nannan said while lifting the edge of her lips: "Look, my mouth was cracked."
