抖音制霸美国（讲解版）| E1130

▍原文

It has been called "the Chinese lip-syncing app your kids love, but you've never heard of", and now it has become a hit in the States. The upstart video-sharing app TikTok is the most popular free download in the App Store in the US, above such behemoths as Facebook, YouTube and Amazon. It has been downloaded almost 80m times in the US to date, including nearly 4m downloads in October alone, making it No.1 in the App Store for that month. The success of any burgeoning app is often tied to the early adoption of a key celebrity.

什么是暴虐版？
暴虐版语音是夏老师以意群为单位进行语音示范。
1. 每个意群示范7遍
2. 在每次语音示范后，会留出足够的空白时间供各位进行跟读和练习。

暴虐版使用方法：
1. 小伙伴们需要先掌握生词的发音方式和规律（练习耗时，因人而异）
2. 再通过先单词后意群的方式跟随暴虐版进行练习
3. 通过反复的朗读，让口腔肌肉熟悉且记住意群的流利和滑动感，不断提升自己语音语调，连读技巧，意群的把握。
