Coaching notes
A workplace conversation discussing a proposal from a recent meeting, assessing its feasibility and planning future discussions.
Pronunciation focus
- 提案 (ていあん) — 注意 て với い nối liền
- 実現 (じつげん) — じ và つ có thể bị nuốt
- 協力 (きょうりょく) — うố âm kéo dài
- 話し合おう (はなしあおう) — 合おう có ngừng nhẹ giữa し và あ
- 調整 (ちょうせい) — ちょ và う liên kết nhanh
Rhythm & pacing
Pacing is steady with natural pauses between speakers and short phrases, making it suitable for sentence-by-sentence shadowing.
Key grammar
- 〜かも = có thể (dự đoán không chắc chắn)
- 〜ば = nếu (điều kiện giả định)
- 〜ても = ngay cả khi
- 〜し = và (liệt kê lý do hoặc ví dụ)
Natural speech features
- でも thường được nói nhanh thành 'でっも'
- そうだね thường rút gọn và được nói như 'そだね'
Practice strategy
Listen to the recording twice to familiarize yourself with the natural pauses and rhythm. Practice longer sentences independently before trying to shadow the entire conversation at once.
Common mistakes
- Understating the rising intonation in かも sentences.
- Skipping over 'ば' conditions too quickly, leading to misunderstanding of hypothetical context.
- Omitting or reducing vowel sounds in compound words.
