Intent vs. Impact: How English Can Betray You

はい、こんにちはよう平先生です。
今日はN4N5の ボキャブラリーで、あまり　よくない発音（はつおん）のしかたの話（はなし）をします。
えー、今から話す あまりよくない発音（はつおん）のしかたですが、たくさんの生徒（せいと）が しています。 
はい、じゃあさっそく、例（たと）えば、”切手（きって）” スタンプ(stamp)ですね。これをたくさんの生徒（せいと）が　“きぃ  て”と言います。えー、じゃあ、もう一度いい発音(はつおん）を言ますね。
”きって”。わるい発音が”きぃ て”、 はい、これはちがいは分かりますか。えー、そうですね、『き』小さい『っ』『て』なんですが、この小さい”っ”は音楽（おんがく）のスタッカートえー英語のstaccarto ですねえー中国語で”断音”ですねえ、そのすか、スタッカートを使わなければいけません。
”きって”ですね、もし使わなかったら”きぃて”。これは”来ます”のて形動詞（けいどうし）、te form verb の”来て”と思ってしまうんですね。はい、いいですか。 
えー、他（ほか）にも”帰（かえ）って”、”帰ります”のて形動詞、te form verbですね。これをスタッカートを使わなかったら”かえぇて” 、これはチェンジ(change)の”変（か）えて”　”変えます”のて形動詞（けいどうし）、”変（か）えて”と思ってしまうんですね。
じゃ、他にも”買（か）います”のて形動詞”買（か）って”、これをスタッカートを使わずに言うとか。”かぁて”、 えー、”勝（か）ちます”の命令形（めいれいけい）、imperative verb、命令系の”かて” と思ってしまうんです。
他にも10分ten minutes ですね。十分（shi fen）ですね。えー10分、これをスタッカートを使わないで言うと”じゅうぶん” えーenough”じゅうぶん”に えー聞こえます。はい、ですから、あ、小さい”っ”はスタッカートを使ってください。はいえー今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございます。 
はい、日本語の勉強がんばってくださいね。バイバイ👋


ようへい先生　N4～N3　レベルの生徒（せいと）へ　(^^♪
