今週の英語耳は今年初めてのスカイプレッスンとなりました。
通常はスカイプレッスンなのですが、今年は岸講師に毎週来校していただいていて気がつけば7回連続来校でした(^^)
さてさて今週はこんな感じです。
＜Sound Change＞
[r]を含む音節に[ty]が続くとき[t]は[L]に変わる。
thirtyの[ir]のように[r]を含む母音に[ty]が続くとき、[t]は[L]のようにはつおんされるのでthirtyは「サーティー」ではなく「サーリー」のように聞こえることがあります。
この現象は他の母音[ar][er][or]に[ty]が続くときにも起こります。
1. There're thirty-one days in January.
2. The class starts at one-thirty.
3. My father is forty-two years-old.
