はっきり言って、夏、京都へ行くのはおすすめではありません。暑すぎるからです。それなのに「祇園祭（ぎおんまつり）」という、日本三大祭りのひとつが、一か月にわたって行われています。だから、夏も京都は観光客（かんこうきゃく tourist）でいっぱいです。ChatGPTハルカちゃんが、そんな夏の京都の楽しいすごし方を教えてくれます。しかし、今回、ハルカちゃん絶不調（ぜつふちょう very bad condition )！AIも夏バテ( summer heat fatigue )するのかな？

・東北地方の方言で早口言葉の紹介
・早口言葉とは「となりのきゃくはよくかきくうきゃくだ(隣の客はよく柿食う客だ)」のようなフレーズ。早く言うことがポイント。
・「あんだおらのごとあんだあんだ言うげっとおらもあんだのごとあんだあんだ言わねぇがら、もうあんだもおらのごどあんだあんだ言わねぇでけろよ、あんだ」
・意味　”あんた（あなた）、私のことを「あんた、あんた」言うけれど、私も（これからは）あんたのことを「あんた」と言わないから、もうあんたも私のことを「あんた、あんた」言わないでね、あんた。”
・これが言えると東北地方の方言をかなり言える可能性が高い！
・まとめ

Welcome to the American English Pronunciation Guide. My name is Trevor Kafka, and I am your host.

There are many different varieties of American English. I was born and raised in New York, which has given me General American English pronunciation. The English that I speak has 15 vowel sounds. 

Please view the transcript for help while listening.

Today, we will talk about the vowel sound number 2 of 15: /eɪ/ grey day. This vowel is what we call a diphthong, meaning that it’s really two vowel sounds smooshed together as one. The mouth begins very open when the sound begins, but then turns into a smile as the teeth come together.

Listen to me saying this sound and repeat: /eɪ/, /eɪ/, /eɪ/

Listen to and repeat the following single-syllable words:
gray
day
pain
whale
waste
straight
tail
wait
shade

Listen to and repeat the following multiple-syllable words:
chamber
embrace
greatest
labor
vacation
translate
Canadian
information

Listen to and repeat the following sentences:
The way you say “gray” makes my day quite okay.
I embrace the shade to stay out of the sun’s rays.
The greatest of Canadian vacations have no space for rain.

I would like to thank Shirley Thompson and Karen Taylor for their work in developing the set of key phrases that I use with each vowel, such as /æ/ black cat, /eɪ/ grey day, etc.
