Huro Vowel Tuning Method & System 

~ The world's first true pronunciation of English ~

 

"Things that control vowels control English !!"

In fact, English pronunciation can be spoken like a native just by focusing on the vowels !

All of the English pronunciation rules are " greatly related to vowels".

The biggest feature of this method is that if you learn the "correct way to raise vowels and rules" when speaking, you will naturally acquire the "rhythm (sound intensity)" and "flow (sound length)" that are unique to English. That is to say.

If you raise the vowels and pronounce them, the consonants will naturally drop and the pronunciation will be similar to the native English. Rather, the more clearly the consonants are pronounced, the harder it is to convey English.

There are various pronunciation methods such as "shadowing, linking, phonics" in the world, but if you do not know this "method focusing on vowels", it will be difficult to obtain even less than half the effect. increase. It is often said that phonics and linking are important for pronunciation, but on the contrary, they focus on "consonants".

By speaking English with the correct rhythm and flow by the "vowel pronunciation system " researched and developed by HURO, you will be able to clearly understand and practice " the true sound and pronunciation of English". Furthermore, by repeating the correct pronunciation, the ears and brain will naturally become accustomed to the "correct sound of English", which will lead to "a breakthrough improvement in listening" . You will be able to hear more English sounds that you couldn't hear before.

The mother sound "vowel" is at the " foundation of the true sound mechanism of English". tomorrow!

First of all, it is enough if you can master the same 5 vowels as in Japanese.

After that, " Just tune from Japanese sounds to English sounds! 』\

With "the true mechanism of English sounds" discovered by HURO and "the tuning method to the true sounds of English" by RITZ, "listening and speaking" will be dramatically improved! !!

 

"If you can master vowels, you will definitely be able to pronounce English!"

 01 01   How to improve speaking and listening at the same time

First of all, those who feel that they can pronounce properly, but cannot listen at all.

It is recommended to know "English-specific pronunciation mechanism " and " Solutions for English".

Why can't I hear English so much?

1. In English, consonants and vowels are pronounced separately and strongly.

In Japanese, "vowels and consonants" are always pronounced at the same level (strength) at the same time.

The same applies to "Kakikukeko" and "Rarirurero". All are pronounced at the same time.

English does not produce "vowels and consonants" at the same level.

Depending on the importance of the words in the sentence, the vowels may be strong or weak, but in principle, they are pronounced "the vowels rise strongly and the consonants fall".

​​

2. English-specific "vowel up and consonant down" makes listening difficult

What the top and bottom of this sound mean is that it is at a completely different level from the Japanese pronunciation.

When speaking in Japanese, the basic "flat" position is kept and each sound is pronounced, but in English, there is no sound in this flat position. It always moves up and down like a wave from a flat position.

For those unfamiliar with English, the completely different levels of this sound make it difficult to hear both raised vowels and lower consonants.

 

3.  Consonants can be pronounced by themselves

What is the characteristic "pronunciation of only consonants" in English?

Consonants such as "T", "R", "K", "V", and "TH" can be pronounced by themselves.

In addition, some sounds have only consonants overlapped. For example, the sound of "WH" that you are all familiar with. Moreover,

[TR] [DR  ] [PL  ] [FL  ] [TW  ] And other hidden "charts not found in Japanese". Actually, there is only one in Japanese. That is "n". If you actually pronounce it, you can understand it well, but there is no "vowel" anywhere.

English is the concept of pronouncing a sound that can be pronounced only with this "consonant" by adding the vowel "a, i, u, e, o".

 02 02   Even beginners will be able to do it

 

1. Just raise the vowel  

Just by learning how to raise the vowels and pronouncing them, you will get closer to the native pronunciation and improve your "listening ability" .

What is the secret? With a very simple mechanism, "If you raise the vowel, the consonant will naturally fall."

In Japanese, we don't raise vowels in particular, so raising the vowels is enough to make the pronunciation unique to English.

By "correct sound" at the time of output (speaking) , the brain and ears understand and recognize the correct English sound, and by "hearing the same sound" at the time of input (listening) , English that should not be familiar to the ear can be heard. Will be.

2. What is the mechanism of English pronunciation that "raises vowels and lowers consonants"?

English has unique " rhythm (sound intensity) " and " flow (sound length) ", but when you raise the vowel, "accent" is naturally added. English is a language that is judged by accents, but the essence of the accents is "sound intensity and length".

All of this can be ensured by "raising the vowels".

It may seem difficult at first, but at our school, we use our own method to practice pronunciation while being aware of the difference in the strength of the "vowel and consonant" sounds. The earliest one can make pronunciations that could not be done for many years in one lesson.

For example, words such as "water" and "McDonald's", but I think that there are many people who are not good at it. In addition, the sounds such as "TR" (train), "FL" (floor), "DR" (drama), which are overlapping consonants, should be one sound, but if they become two sounds, it is Japanese-like. It will be a sound.

3. Specific sound composition

As an example, the word "train" train begins with two consonants, "T" and "R". After that, the sound of the vowel "e" comes. In this Japanese, two vowels are required for the pronunciation of "tre", but in English, this "tra" must be pronounced as one.

When pronounced in Japanese, there are three vowels, "train" and "to-re-in", and "o, e, i", but in English, there are only two sounds, "tre-in".

However, you don't have to worry about detailed pronunciation. This is because even if the pronunciation is a little wrong, it will work if the "vowels" match.

 

 

  03 03  What is the most important thing in pronunciation?
​​

1. Pronunciation that needs to be practiced and pronunciation that does not need to be practiced

 

There is no need to correct the pronunciation of "TH", "F", and "V", which Japanese people are not good at. You don't have to go to an English conversation school or spend years fixing it. Even if you don't do it correctly, you can understand your English properly.  Rather, the more clearly the consonants are pronounced , the more accurate the pronunciation is required. For example, when ordering coffee, isn't "Hot coffee" transmitted? The sound "H" is a very weak consonant, so in English it is not pronounced "hot!" Like in Japanese. If you relax the power of "H" and raise the "vowel", it will be transmitted properly.

Certainly, Japanese-like pronunciation may not be recognized because it is too different from the native pronunciation, but what is really necessary is how to tune the sounds of "R" and "L" and "T", "D" and "G". Just master the rules of sound change. These two are very important sounds that you have to get used to when speaking English. However, it is based on very simple methods and rules, so if you continue, anyone will be able to practice it immediately.

 

If you can master these two pronunciations, you will be able to speak smoothly and natively just by "raising the vowels". In addition, you will be able to cover even the "linking" (connection between sounds) that Japanese people are not good at, and you will be able to pronounce with natural sounds.

In pronunciation lessons, you will always practice one-on-one while experiencing the "correct sound", so you will definitely acquire natural pronunciation. By utilizing active learning for pronunciation, there will be no "sounds that no one can pronounce", so please come and experience it.

In pronunciation, practicing with "correct sound" and "correct knowledge" promises reliable growth.

 

2. All you have to do is "output (speaking)" aloud!

How important the output is is that the sound you think in your head is different from the sound you actually make . If you've ever recorded your own voice in shadowing, you know. It's surprisingly different from the "native sound" by myself.
By repeating English aloud, you will get closer to "correct English pronunciation". Of course, if you have that "correct sound recognition", the native speakers will speak with the same pronunciation, so you will naturally hear English and improve your "listening ability". In "When not out and when to issue the voice", the effect is there is a difference of about four times in the understanding of the brain. You don't have to spend four times as much time learning English, right?
Now, you don't have to be afraid to output (speaking) anymore .
You can't improve your English without speaking!
