『自負と偏見』‪英語朗読練習‬ 5
Reading Practice 5 Pride and Prejudice

Please

let me know any wrong pronunciations or how and where to improve.

"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account,
for in general, you know, they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not."

"You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy."

    Sounds good. You pronounced "scrupulous" like "scrupious" and "though" like "ぞ" but otherwise it was well-pronounced.

    Over all you did good! I was able to understand the white passage clearly 😀 I'd practice your pronunciation of the letter 'v' as it's sounding more like a 'b'. And the other thing that stood out was some of the words like "must", it sounds like you are adding an extra syllable to it, where it sounds like "musta". I know coming from Japanese to English, those couple things may not feel natural.

    @bryan Thank you so much. Could you kindly pronounce “scrupulous” for me as I don’t know how to pronounce it properly. Yes, I think that I always pronounce as ぞ for “though.” I should use my tongue!!! I will practise them!!! Thank you so much!!! ありがとうございます！！！

    @ジョーイ どうもありがとうございます！’v’ and ‘b’ are also difficult for me as they sound more or less the same sound to me!!! I cannot distinguish ‘r’ and ‘l,’ either. I understand in head but not ears. I will practise them. Thank you very much.

    I found your reading voice to be quite pleasant! It sounds very engaging. A few things already mentioned was the “v” sound sounding like a “b”. Also, “scrupulous” sounded a bit off.

    @ジョーイ ありがとうございます！英語の発音が上手になりたんですが、何をしたらいいか分かりませんでした。でも、ここならネイティブの人がどこが悪いか教えてくれるから、本を読むことにしました。練習して、また、録音し直します！vとbは、難しいですが、これから読む時は、気をつけます！

    @M I just thought of something. When you are making a 'v' sound, try to put your top teeth on your bottom lip. I think this may help 😀

    @bryan I think it is really really difficult and at the moment, this is the best I can do. I will keep practicing it.

    @bryan さん、I re-recorded it bearing mind what you told me about the ‘though’ and ‘scrupulous.’ But since I am still struggling to pronounce the words of ‘scrupulous,’ ‘though’ and ‘throw,’ I will keep practising them. Thank you. I truly hope I am making progress. Thank you very much for your help!! https://www.hellotalk.com/m/ZEzPIlWSWvWjZD==?id=VJqzxN
