Hey, what's on the topic for today?

Ah, ladies and gentlemen, today I will be presenting to you a secret not known by many people called reading.

And you're going to say, what is the secret?

Well, this is the key to help you learn language faster.

Surprising, because most people think,

well, I should talk more, get more talking practice.

and I need to get vocabulary and I need to listen better.

And, you know, I need to learn how to write.

And I'm going to show you today with the help of Magical E.

He's looking surprised because he doesn't want to be involved.

Don't know why you have a book.

How this is going to help you with this, this, and this.

Let's go to the board.

The first word I'm going to teach you is a word not many people know,

but you have to understand this is an important factor of how our eyes work.

So I'm going to use some language that might be really high.

I'll explain it and just be patient

or you're going to learn a lot about you and improve your language skills at the same time.

Sac-ads, sac-ads, sac-ads, sac-it.

Sac-ads is what I'm going to say.

It could be sac-ads.

This is what we call the way the eye moves.

You see, when we look at things in nature,

and this is important because reading isn't natural.

There are no books in nature.

There are birds and trees and cars.

Our eyes were designed to look,

look, look, look, look, look, look.

It kept us alive.

Because if I just kept looking ahead,

a tiger could come and eat me.

So my eyes would look,

look, look, look, look, but I would see everything.

Now a Sekhat is kind of a fixation.

Our eyes jump, and a fixation means to stay in one place.

But our eyes jump around.

Now if you think about a book, a book has lines.

And if you jump around,

that makes it very difficult to see.

So we're going to, with our understanding now what a Sekhat is,

we're going to learn to train that to help you with reading.

You know, okay, well, how does this help with language?

Hey, grasshopper, one step at a time.

Now, reading is interesting.

You might have noticed I mentioned vocabulary,

and many students say to me, oh, I need vocabulary.

Here you go.

Vocabulary on the go.

There is one little trick that makes all of this work,

so I'm going to mention it now and at the end.

You must pick material for this to work that you know at least 85% of the vocabulary.

So don't pick up a book on physics if you don't read physics.

This will not be helpful.

So, sacads, or how our eyes move.

A little uncontrolled, they jump around.

And you may have noticed this when you're reading.

Sometimes you're reading and you go, ah, where was I?

Because your eye has jumped.

So the first trick I'm going to teach you, see?

This is three S, and if you want to know what the three S's are,

smooth pursuit, sub-vocalization, and sustained.

and I will explain each one for you now.

Well, smooth pursuit is this.

Yeah, some of you are going, what are you doing?

But you followed my finger, didn't you?

You notice my finger did not do this, it went like this.

Well, if we can control the sacads,

we can control how we read,

and it makes it much easier for us to learn.

Why am I starting with this for language learning?

Well, you're not going to read the book and most people don't read,

to be honest, because it takes too long.

And now you understand if your eyes are jumping around,

that makes it worse, especially if it's not your language.

We're going to use the idea of smooth pursuit,

which is using our finger or a pencil to move across a line to help us focus.

That focus will actually turn our brains on so we can learn more.

So, the first secret I'm going to give you is use

your finger for a smooth pursuit to move along the line to keep you focused

so you can keep the ideas in your head.

That's number one.

And in doing this, because you stay on the line,

it will help for vocabulary because in many English sentences we use synonyms.

We'll use one word and a little later use a different word to keep your interest

so you're actually picking up on vocabulary.

So, smooth pursuit is your first secret to helping you with language learning.

So, what's the second one?

When you were a little child,

your mummy would go like this.

The cat is on the chair.

And And she would usually point at one word and say the.

You would look at the word,

she would say it, you would say it.

Now you're a big grown person, right?

You eat your Wheaties, you're strong and good.

You don't do that. But you do.

We all do.

Sub vocalization, sub means under, vocal means speak.

In science they've done tests and they notice when people are reading,

100

when they put electrodes, know,

101

things on your head, they were noticing people are actually making the sounds.

102

Do you remember I said this reading will help you with speaking?

103

Well, once you, and this is why you need to know 85% of the language,

104

once you're reading, you're repeating these words verbally inside with your throat box or your throat here and in your head, sub-vocalizing.

105

So you're practicing speaking without speaking.

106

When we get to number three,

107

you're going to go, oh my gosh, these all go together.

108

I'm like, yes, they do.

109

So by reading, not speaking,

110

you're actually getting your brain to vocalize.

111

And remember I say it would help with listening.

112

Well, who's listening to you, sweetheart?

113

Who's in your head?

114

You.

115

So when you're saying the cat in English and you speak German, das Katzen, right?

116

You're actually saying the cat in your head,

117

repeating, helping you learn and getting familiarized.

118

That means getting to know the word over and over again.

119

Now, here's a secret about reading.

120

The more you read, the faster you read, the more you comprehend.

121

Let me read, read.

122

Let me say that again.

123

The more you read, the faster you read and the more you comprehend.

124

Now, this has happened because I'm jumping ahead to number three.

125

Should I go there?

126

Let's go to number three.

127

So, before I do that,

128

sub-vocalization is the voice that's in your head helping you to understand because sub-vocalization helps with comprehension.

129

Comprehension means to understand.

130

So, not only are we practicing speaking without speaking,

131

we're practicing listening without listening.

132

Please check it out.

133

It's brilliant stuff, the research they're doing on reading and language acquisition or learning language,

134

you are actually getting better in understanding

135

because written material must be written in a way for someone to understand when the writer is not there.

136

So, you're learning the logic of the language or comprehension.

137

So, you're learning to comprehend,

138

you're learning to speak, you're learning to listen.

139

Cool, huh?

140

All right.

141

So, how is this.. these two working with this this thing called sustained.

142

I've got three S's.

143

Ah, the secret isn't what I told you.

144

When you read, I said if you read,

145

you read a lot, you're going to end up reading faster,

146

and you're going to comprehend.

147

The reason why this mechanism works,

148

which isn't discussed a lot, is this.

149

Recognition.

150

When you were a baby,

151

okay, there were these two strange people who would come in the room and go out of the room.

152

Sometimes bring you food, sometimes change you,

153

sometimes say, mommy, daddy, strange people.

154

But after a while, you kept seeing them again and again and again,

155

and you recognize them.

156

And then you would say,

157

not sub locally, you go,

158

mom, dad, they go, junior, yes, you recognize us.

159

And after a while, you don't have to keep looking,

160

you just go, mom, dad,

161

mom, dad, mom, dad, mom, dad.

162

And then you tell other people,

163

this is my mom, this is my dad,

164

my dad is my mom because you've seen them

165

so many times well i said when you read you speed up it's

166

because you recognize the words and every time you read something like the word the the

167

or car car your brain after a while goes i recognize

168

that i don't need to think

169

and that's why you get faster your brain doesn't have to

170

go what is a car car is four wheels okay now we understand it goes car Car is car.

171

That's how reading speed picks up.

172

So, when we say sustained,

173

you must read and keep reading,

174

and keep reading, and keep reading.

175

But now, think about what I told you about in the secrets here.

176

Well, if you keep reading and you get better,

177

you get faster reading, meaning you can read more books,

178

your recognition of words goes up.

179

And I know this is true for years of being a teacher.

180

I can say many words,

181

but I can say this and almost every student gets it if they've been in Canada for two weeks.

182

How's it going?

183

I can say, how is it going?

184

But after they've been here a month,

185

I go, how's it going?

186

And they all understand because they've heard it so many times that their brain goes,

187

I know what that is.

188

And I can respond.

189

I have comprehension.

190

When we go back to here,

191

we need this smooth pursuit to keep you on track,

192

to recognize the words.

193

You have to read again and again,

194

and you'll notice many words,

195

2,000 of them, in fact,

196

are repeated over and over and over again.

197

And by using smooth pursuit so you can focus on these words,

198

you get to see them,

199

you learn them, they become recognized to you or recognizable,

200

and then you will comprehend them faster so you can read more,

201

which is important, and now you'll understand why I say that,

202

because as you speed up,

203

because most people don't read because it takes too long,

204

but as you recognize these words,

205

you can read faster, so you can understand faster, so it becomes easier.

206

This is why you need that,

207

that's why I started here.

208

It may seem weird, but it's like that's why.

209

You need to focus so you can catch these words,

210

so they become, I want to say ingrained,

211

but in your head permanently, yeah?

212

As you're doing that, remember what I said is happening, the sub-vocalization.

213

So every time you say the,

214

your head's going the, the,

215

the, the, the, the, some of you still say the,

216

and I know you don't read,

217

because if you did, you'd be going the, the, the, the.

218

And this line alone, I'm sure I could find that 50 times on this page.

219

So, you get lots of practice without doing it,

220

and you get better to listening to it, because you're repeating it.

221

Both happen.

222

Remember, when you're reading the cat, well, who's hearing?

223

You, because you're not saying it to anyone,

224

so you get conversation, right?

225

Speaking skills improve, not mine,

226

And listening skills, recognizing the word,

227

so when people speak to you,

228

you hear, oh, I know that word.

229

Boom.

230

I recognize it.

231

And finally, sustaining it helps speed up the whole process.

232

So these three go together to help you with,

233

like I promised, listening, or let's start with the best one,

234

speaking, then listening, and reading,

235

of course, and you're going to say,

236

well, how does this help me with writing?

237

I'm not the first to say it and I will not be the last.

238

Any good writer will tell you,

239

if you want to learn how to write,

240

you got to read a lot.

241

Why?

242

Because the language is on the page with all the grammar, all the spelling.

243

And I did mention, for those of you like,

244

I have a hard time getting vocabulary,

245

there's no one to talk to.

246

There are millions of people to talk to.

247

They're from different ages, from a thousand years ago to just yesterday.

248

they're in books and they have slang

249

and they have technical language they have the language of all

250

there all you have to do is pick them up

251

and they have them at different levels from a kid's level to language learner level to expert

252

so the one tool you need is something that's sitting right beside you right now

253

and you just have to read

254

and grab it now following these three paths use your finger to help you focus for smooth pursuit

255

because part of your problem is your eyes jump around and And I should have explained,

256

your eyes jump around for exciting or something interesting,

257

which you're catching on the page,

258

which is great when you are an advanced reader

259

and you're wanting to learn to do the next thing I'm going to tell you,

260

which is a secret.

261

But it's not so good when you're learning the language and you're trying to get the ideas.

262

Because remember, a sentence is a full idea that will explain the vocabulary that you're learning.

263

So, you need to do this first.

264

Then as you're doing it,

265

you don't have to practice, it will happen.

266

make sure the material you're reading you know at least 85% of the words.

267

That will lead to what's called the flow state where it's easier to learn

268

because it's just hard enough that you don't get bored but easy enough for you to absorb new information.

269

Okay?

270

Sustained, we need to do that to get that speed up to go back in the circle again and again.

271

Now the last thing I want to tell you is a special trick because people say

272

there's no such thing as speed reading and other people say,

273

you can speed read and learn and learn.

274

The fact of the matter is when you're learning a new language,

275

you will speak, or sorry,

276

read, not as quickly as a native speaker.

277

It doesn't matter the language simply because you're not familiar.

278

This is what we're talking about here.

279

Yeah.

280

So, if you want a trick about speed reading that kind of works, it's called skimming.

281

And many of the courses that they're going to ask you to spend,

282

you know, $200, $300, they're asking you to skim,

283

which isn't really speed reading,

284

because if you read too fast, you lose comprehension.

285

And comprehension is understanding, and that's the reason why you read, right?

286

You want to understand.

287

But sometimes you can use this skimming that they teach to your advantage.

288

Now this is more for an intermediate to an advanced person who has very good comprehension

289

and can read a lot of stuff.

290

Because if you're going to school and your English isn't your first language,

291

post-secondary like university or college, you gotta read...

292

You gotta...

293

You have to read a lot of information.

294

And this trick I will teach you will help you do that,

295

get the most out of it as you're working on these three to get a deeper level of understanding.

296

Okay?

297

Now, this comes from writing.

298

When you write, or when we're taught to write,

299

we're taught to write an introductory sentence and an ending or a conclusion sentence.

300

In these two sentences, the first one tells you what we're going to talk about,

301

and the last one tells you what you should have learned.

302

See, if you have to speed up something and you can use your smooth pursuit,

303

here's a trick to get you to speed read through books,

304

but remember, you're going to miss going through all those vocabulary and getting the repetitions in,

305

but this is if you have to,

306

and this is a trick, remember?

307

It's not a lesson.

308

You can always go to a book, open it up.

309

Okay.

310

Nonfiction, it's best to do this with.

311

Read the first sentence of a paragraph,

312

then read the last sentence,

313

and it will give you the idea of what's happened in between.

314

And remember we talked about the say cards? can use

315

that boom boom boom to jump around to when did johnny get killed whoa interesting i like this

316

so you can use that little trick to help speed

317

or boost you up

318

but remember it's a trick you want to do actual learning

319

use your finger for smooth pursuit smooth keeping it going from line to line

320

so you see all of the words after your brain begins to recognize it

321

or as that's happening sub vocalization goes in so you're actually practicing

322

and speaking without doing so and yes for those people who are going to go,

323

well, you're going to speak and you never mentioned that.

324

I didn't say you don't.

325

This is to get that extra practice when you're not talking to people,

326

and especially in countries where there are not a lot of English speakers.

327

This is a tool.

328

Okay.

329

Sustaining and doing that, your memory will pick up

330

that you've seen these words before with the sub vocalization that will help you with future pronunciation.

331

And because you've done that and you have it in your memory,

332

you can read faster.

333

Therefore, you can read more.

334

And we're working on listening, speaking, and writing.

335

Why?

336

Because, as I said, commas,

337

exclamation marks, all of that is there to give you the idea of how the world...

338

Of how the language is used when people speak.

339

And if you're in school,

340

and that's why I said it's a little bit of a trick,

341

and I sped up, I just slowed down.

342

First sentence, last sentence of a paragraph will give you some basic understanding of what the paragraph's about.

343

And you can use your little saccades power there to go in and find the important information and move from there.

344

Anyway, that was a quick lesson from me on how...

345

Me and E-Tap on how we can use reading to help increase your vocabulary,

346

your listening and speaking skills, yeah?

347

And writing to boot. Who knew?

348

Look how small this thing is, see?

349

It's like $1, all this information for $1.

350

You want this one, right?

351

Anyway, you have a great day.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
