Hemos recibido varias preguntas sobre cómo leer un texto en inglés. Así que he seleccionado un fragmento de un texto sobre Murcia, escrito por Bryan en su blog sobre European cities que visitó la ciudad hace unos meses. Os pongo el texto también para que podáis leerlo en voz alta y que pilléis la entonación, la musicalidad y el ritmo mientras lo leéis conmigo.
«As the local ‘Square by Square’ guide explains, Murcia, in the region of the same name, ‘is in the southeast of the Iberian peninsular in the valley of the River Segura, sheltered in the foothills of the Carrascoy, Cresta del Gallo and Pia mountain ranges’. We were there for a few hours earlier this year. It has a population of 350,000 according to the Guide – 442,573 if you take Wikipedia’s word for it. The lesser figure is comparable to its nearest neighbouring city, Alicante, from which we travelled by train. Strolling through the city, with its characteristic squares and open streets, there were few people around and it felt almost as if we had the city to ourselves.
Founded in 825 A.D. in a grassy and marshy area but now known as the capital of the ‘Market Garden of Europe’, the city has a reputation of sunshine all the year round which was certainly true on our visit. It was very hot, but that didn’t prevent us from walking about as much as we could – and valuing a cold beer in mid-day. As far as food is concerned we made a bad choice and so we can make no recommendation in that respect. (Apparently the tapas is delicious and very filling!)
In such a short time we can do little but say that we had a delightful experience. We like cities and we liked this one. We must go again.«
También haríais bien poniéndoos la radio inglesa. Aunque no entendáis nada, no es un problema porque lo que si que pillaréis es la entonación, la musicalidad y el ritmo como decía antes.
También es una buena idea ver películas en inglés, pero con subtítulos en inglés también (no en español) para así aprender doblemente escuchando y leyendo.
me encanta tu pronunciacion,estoy aprendiendo la pronunciacion fluida ,y me cuesta,pero con tus concejos m van a servir….muchas gracias desde argentina.
OK CLARO QUE LO PONDREMOS EN PRACTICA, BUENISIMO APORTE… GRACIAS DESDE GUATEMALA
La verdad uno termina leyendo como se lee en español, ¿como leer en ingles sin saberse la pronunciación de las palabras de antemano? osea ¿que reglas hay para leer? yo se por ejemplo que la e al final no se pronuncia. por que? ¿es que a alguien le dio por ponerla?, o ¿es parte de una regla para indicar que sonido hece la vocal anterior?
Lo malo (o lo bueno) del inglés, es que no existe una Real Academia Inglesa (al contrario que con la española). Es decir, las palabras evolucionan y se crean y nadie puede decirte que esa palabra no existe, o que está mal siempre y cuando tenga sentido (por ejemplo "zapa-voladora").
El mismo William Shakespeare escribía su nombre de mil maneras distintas para pronunciarlas todas de la misma manera.
En cuanto a pronunciar correctamente, lo que hace que lo hagas bien es la práctica. Si no sabes por donde empezar, prueba a ponerte peliculas que ya hayas visto, en ingles y con subitulos en ingles, de ese modo estaras escuchando la fonetica a la vez que lees lo que dicen.
Por último, lo más importante, es que te quites del cuerpo esa inseguridad que a veces la gente siente a la hora de hablar un idioma que no controla por miedo a equivcarse. Las equivocaciones nos lo que nos hace aprender asiq equivocaros todo lo que podais y más! Animo!
yo quiero pronunciar esto;
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settles all around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins
Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
