1
Hello everybody, this is Teacher Levy.
2
Today I'm here with my sister and we'll be making a video with real native English.
3
It'll be a conversation style video.
4
I'll try to speak at a normal speed
5
so it is a little faster than what we usually do on the channel with the slow English,
6
but hopefully you'll be able to keep up and I'll have my sister introduce herself as well.
7
Today's special day because it's the first time I'm announcing the book which is Tom's English Adventures,
8
A Busy Summer, a book I wrote personally.
9
It took over a half a year to get this done and it's finally on Amazon.
10
I'll put the link in the description at the top of the description if you'd like to get it.
11
I have students who have ordered it, but it didn't arrive yet.
12
So we'll also do a live stream book challenge, like what we used to do on towards the end of August.
13
We'll set that up so that you can get prepared and hopefully even read the book by that time.
14
So I'll have my sister introduce herself now and then we'll just have a conversation.
15
Hello, everyone.
16
My name is Lily.
17
I'm teacher Levy's sister, and I'll be joining today's video just to discuss the book and speak about our childhood.
18
So thanks for joining the video.
19
A lot of times she's behind the camera.
20
She's helped me film, and she's been behind the scenes, and she agreed to do this video,
21
which I think will be helpful for you to listen to a conversation in English.
22
Do you want to talk a little bit about your hobbies just so people get to know who you are?
23
Sure.
24
I think I have quite a few hobbies.
25
I like cooking, baking.
26
I started a recipe book recently, so I've been enjoying that.
27
I also like reading.
28
I read quite a bit.
29
um in the past I read a lot of self-development books non-fiction books um now I'm reading classical literature
30
and just just fiction fiction books I've switched it up a bit um I also do dance
31
and I exercise quite a bit I just go to the
32
gym um a few times a week in the past I to do gymnastics
33
so i did competitive gymnastics for like eight years or so um and then after
34
around high school i stopped um and then i just started you know going to the gym consistently
35
um what else you have a passion for dogs oh i also work with dogs
36
so i started a um small business um I I do dog training dog walking dog sitting
37
so a variety of dog services and I plan to open a
38
dog kennel in the future which
39
if you guys don't know that's a um like a hotel for dogs
40
so a boarding kennel for dogs if somebody decides to go on vacation
41
and they need to leave their pets somewhere dogs specifically yeah totally
42
so why'd you get into this um
43
so I I got my own I got my first dog
44
when I was um I can't remember exactly how old I was
45
but I um I trained her all by myself
46
and I really enjoyed it
47
and I learned a lot of a lot about like dog training
48
and dog behavior and these types of things
49
and it turned into a passion
50
and then i just decided to try to try to work more with dogs
51
or be around more dogs and kind of take it from there
52
so did you get any qualifications or training or something
53
or is this all by yourself or did you have a course that you went to or
54
I did a six month or maybe it was around eight or ten months.
55
Ten months?
56
I think it was a eight month course.
57
It was like a dog trainer course.
58
And I finished that.
59
They gave me a certificate it and and so i finished the course
60
and i got certified as a dog trainer which you also need
61
if you if you want to open any kind of like boarding kennel
62
or um if you want to work with dogs in general it's better to have
63
so this is just for pet owners and i go for dog walks
64
and she knows because she watches the videos but what are the biggest mistake that mistakes that people make
65
while walking their dog or while walking their dog yeah um
66
i sometimes many people have problems with um leash pulling and at least leash control
67
not least con like just leash pulling mostly and um and many times they'll people will use a harness
68
but the problem with the harness is that it makes it really comfortable for them to pull
69
um for a long time people were saying
70
that the regular collars they put a lot of pressure on the on the throat
71
but um if you train good leash behavior then they don't need to pull on the regular collar
72
and what about for dog training is there stuff that people can do at home?
73
Or would you recommend everybody to go to a dog training school facility?
74
um i think anybody can train their dogs at home all by all by themselves
75
and there's so much information online and resources
76
that you really don't need a um a trainer um i
77
think people start getting trainers once they have some kind of behavioral issues
78
or when their dogs have behavioral issues and then they hire a trainer to fix that issue.
79
But with, if you train your dog by yourself, you're kind of preventing a lot of those issues, I think.
80
Okay.
81
So let's go step outside of the doctrine for a second.
82
So what do you think about the YouTube videos that I'm making?
83
I think they're really great.
84
I like to read through the comments
85
and people seem to have people seem to enjoy it and I think you get good feedback.
86
And I also think that you provide value so I think it helps a lot of people and yeah.
87
So do you think the you teach English so do you think these are helpful for
88
advanced students as well or only for beginners or intermediate level students?
89
um I think it's definitely better for it's I think everybody can get value from it
90
but since many of your videos are slow English I think it is more helpful for intermediate
91
level students what about the shadowing practice for pronunciation is
92
that something that works for advanced students too or no you think
93
or not super useful um I think it can work for advanced students
94
but since they're already at like a higher level um I don't know
95
if they would need to do that
96
because I think with the shadowing it's it's it's about repetition
97
and just remembering things and memorizing it and so it's
98
so advanced students would be more you would recommend TV shows or something or movies?
99
I think for advanced students it's it's enough to just consume content
100
and then like maybe just keep some good vocabulary in mind or write it down.
101
Like vlog videos or stuff like this too could be helpful.
102
Yeah specifically like vlogs like lifestyle videos and then the podcast
103
because I think those are very casual and
104
and there's a lot useful words that you can words
105
and expressions that you can pick up from those types of videos
106
so i want to ask you about my book as well you read the book
107
and she was one of the first
108
or she was probably the first five people to uh proofread the book and she gave feedback
109
back when it was only a PDF and so you read it
110
and towards the end you said it was actually pretty good
111
so what what's your honest feedback about the book you what was your first impression of it
112
and then as it developed as I changed it would you think about it
113
because at first you didn't love it
114
and then later he said it was pretty good
115
so what's what's your take on it obviously she's not learning English
116
so but still she she read the book probably a couple times
117
um yeah I think I think the book is really good
118
and I'm I like the finished product I was really impressed with
119
so I think I mentioned it to you
120
that um it's quite similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid um
121
or it's like a similar style and yeah
122
so she uh she read it
123
and you could I guess maybe talk Like at first you were surprised
124
that I wrote the book because the first draft was very roughly.
125
I mean, I just went straight from thinking about the story to writing it down and then sharing bits and pieces.
126
And then she read that and then I revised it.
127
I worked on it and I went through different iterations
128
or different editing parts of just working on revising it and improving vocabulary,
129
making it sound more of like a story rather than like a diary.
130
And so then she read it and she was like, wow, this is really good.
131
I think you were traveling somewhere and you read it and you're like, wow, this is actually really good.
132
Remember?
133
So yes, by the time I got the final draft, I read through it and I was really impressed.
134
I thought it was really entertaining and humorous and I think for English learners it will be really beneficial.
135
I don't know if we will go through how the book is structured.
136
We could do.
137
There are short chapters.
138
I did 20 short chapters and at first I was concerned
139
that they're too short and then I was looking into other books
140
and realized that short chapters are good for keeping the reader's attention.
141
So like if you have a story for each chapter and it's only a few pages, you go through the whole book pretty quick because you're always looking forward to the next thing.
142
So it keeps it entertaining.
143
And also I think I could change situations for every chapter.
144
So there's different things I'm showcasing and different events happening in the book.
145
So I thought it was, by the end of it,
146
I thought it was pretty well-rounded and it's something that could turn into a series where there's different situations,
147
not only summertime activities, but it could be, for example, it could be something business related, it could be anything.
148
Yeah, and I think another great thing from the book is that they're based off of real events.
149
So you can, you speak from personal experience and,
150
and they're very American lifestyle inspired so that people get a glimpse into what it's like.
151
And this is a teenager's
152
uh in high school high schoolers uh life during summer
153
so summer break but still it's like an insight into what it's like to be in the u.s
154
and it's it's real
155
and it's based off of um what actually takes place kind of in a suburban environment would you say
156
so yeah of course and i think we even spoke about how maybe it won't be
157
so um clear for people who don't live live in the U.S
158
but I think at the same time we also talked about how
159
or we were a little bit worried that the stories wouldn't be relatable
160
or super clear for people who don't live in the U.S
161
or who have never lived there before but we decided
162
that it was it works because because that's the whole point is to have something
163
that people can read and also get real insight into American lifestyle, which is what a lot of people or students are interested in.
164
They don't care about, or they might care, but it's different than reading about somebody who's living in Belgium or somebody who's living in Sweden.
165
Could also be a great story, but this is kind of a two-in-one.
166
It's English.
167
It's a good story.
168
Plus, it's the American culture and lifestyle put into one pie.
169
So it has all the ingredients for English learners, and I think that's helpful.
170
So it's not a random story of someone around the world, right?
171
Should we go through the structure of the book and the way you designed it, or should that be a surprise for the readers?
172
You mean the chapters?
173
The chapters and the practice exercises.
174
Okay, we can talk about it um every chapter has a word bank
175
and we also have comprehension checks and discussion points
176
so this is kind of the outline we have a chapter
177
which finishes here and then we have the next page uh with a word bank questions
178
and also a discussion point so if you're with a teacher
179
or in a group what we'll do in our live stream is we'll talk about the discussion points
180
and these are open for
181
if you have different opinions for example um what's your favorite place to go
182
when you want to be in your own world
183
and think clearly that's part of it
184
and everybody has a different uh answer it might be go
185
to the gym it might be go to a park it
186
might be uh spend time in your room whatever it may be
187
so yeah and the discussion point i feel like you can also do
188
that by yourself um you can ask yourself that question
189
and i think um great practice is just speaking out loud
190
to yourself it sounds a little bit funny to say
191
but um saying it in your head versus saying it out loud is a completely different feeling
192
and exercise so i think that could be beneficial i recommend
193
that to everybody all the time yeah but recently i stopped doing it
194
because now i think there's other um techniques
195
that i push like the comprehensible input thing i've talked about a lot
196
which do you know what that is um that maybe not okay
197
so comprehensible input is the same as uh learning like a child does
198
that make sense right so they go through the world
199
and they just kind of absorb the vocabulary without speaking they're just listening right does that make sense yeah
200
yeah
201
so the way it works the real comprehensible input is you spend like six months hours every day without speaking
202
and you just listen to native speakers the key is just hours
203
and hours and then after six months you've kind of mastered their pronunciation just by listening to it
204
and you've learned and retained a lot of vocabulary that's the theory behind it so you think it's useful?
205
It could be.
206
I think that could definitely be useful.
207
I've had many students who've used similar techniques and it seems to work well for people.
208
All right.
209
So to wrap up, I also want my sister to share some summer stories or something.
210
This book, I put in personal stories and I tried to implement them into chapters.
211
So do you have something you could share from any summer that you remember and that stands out?
212
Like I mentioned earlier, I did competitive gymnastics for a long time.
213
And in the summer, we had summer camp and those were really intense.
214
And it's kind of a core memory that I have from my childhood.
215
So it was a lot of fun.
216
And I was really close with my teammates.
217
It was definitely tiring and demanding, but
218
it was just overall a really great memory
219
and usually after practice we would go to the beach together
220
or do some kind of fun activity and it kind of just balanced it out very well.
221
I don't know if that's like an exciting story to tell.
222
I do have one funny story
223
and I think I talk about it quite a bit
224
and it was when I was at my friend's house with all my teammates from gymnastics and
225
my friend had a pool outside.
226
It was like a normal in-ground pool.
227
And I was so excited to go swimming.
228
And I just ran to the pool with my phone in my hand and I jumped into the deep end.
229
And while I was like in the water sinking to the bottom, I realized that I was holding my phone in my hand.
230
And then I came out and I was like shocked
231
that I just jumped into the pool with my phone in my hand
232
and then we ended up um just putting it in a bucket of rice um
233
and it's the rice trick it was the rice trick there was actually a meme years ago
234
that whenever something is broken you just throw it in rice
235
and it was kind of for electronics it was kind of a joke
236
but it really did work um
237
so kept it in the in in the rice for like two days
238
and after that it worked it worked perfectly fine um
239
so it's a kind of a funny story yeah the rice
240
thing was the rice is supposed to absorb the water and
241
so you keep it in rice for a while
242
and then i actually did i guess suck out the water from the phone yeah
243
and um my screen was completely shattered like the glass on the on the screen
244
because i dropped it on my friend's um driveway before and before
245
and we were joking how maybe the rice was able to to suck the moisture out of my phone
246
because of the cracks through the through the screen
247
but that's probably not how it worked oh i didn't know
248
that okay yeah so i've heard
249
that story before i didn't know the screen was cracked i
250
thought it was um getting the water out from the plug-in port where you charge your phone
251
and the speakers so I guess not no probably from the screen yeah
252
so that's pretty funny I have let me let me think of a summer story that's pretty good
253
so I just glossed over this in the book I barely mentioned it
254
but me and my sister growing up we sold dog biscuits we went door to door
255
and we made them at home and they were kind of a healthy dog biscuits
256
because a lot of the stuff you buy um has I
257
don't know it has chemical I don't know what it has it's not the best for dogs
258
and so ours had peanut butter
259
and a couple other ingredients we put them in glass jars
260
and she kind of designed it and it looked it looked okay it looked homemade
261
and we were we went to we didn't do our street
262
but we went to the street near our house a different street
263
and we actually sold a couple we made like probably 20
264
or i don't know how much it was like a batch
265
of 20 i don't remember we sold quite a few we sold quite a few yeah less than 20
266
or no or maybe less than 100 for sure
267
but it was we sold a couple there were people who bought two at a time you remember that
268
yeah yeah um i do and i think people were trying to be nice
269
and they were trying to support young kids
270
so it kind of made it easier for us yeah um actually i put
271
that in my book there's a thing i've noticed where there's
272
like these uh pity sales where people feel bad for you
273
and it's not that they feel bad i think
274
when you're young they want to support this entrepreneurial spirit it
275
and so if mom opens the door
276
and she's like wow these kids are trying to take initiative
277
and you know do their own products that I think they want to support
278
that local business
279
and we support local businesses to this day right you support
280
local businesses of course I try to support local businesses
281
and why is that important before we I think supporting small businesses is great
282
and it's important because you're supporting that person's
283
livelihood and maybe you're supporting their family as well it's different than big corporations
284
or huge companies which have thousands of employees so this is a
285
business where you can shake the owners hand you can talk
286
to them you can have a a cup of coffee with them
287
so it's it's a different feeling and it's nice to know
288
that you have neighbors or people in your community who are supporting each other
289
so I think that's a good thing to do in general
290
so no okay so that was it
291
so thanks for joining do you have any last do you have anything to say to the audience
292
or in general anything else you would like to add well
293
thanks for inviting me you're welcome um this has been quite
294
a unique experience for me i'm i'm not i don't really um use social media too much
295
and i don't post anything so this this has been fun and um i hope that people
296
check out your book and that it does well.
297
Thanks.
298
Yeah.
299
We're, um, we're not huge social media.
300
I think social media could be good for learning things or connecting with people, but it's just very, it could get addictive as well, which we've talked about, but yeah, so this is the book.
301
If you guys want to check it out and, uh, we'll do a live stream at the end of August.
302
I'm sure I'll talk about it more.
303
Maybe I'll do a video going through the whole process of, the past over half a year of putting this together.
304
And that could be interesting.
305
Maybe I'll do that in slow English.
306
So thanks for coming on.
307
And then maybe we'll do another one later, or not later, but kind of in the coming days, we'll be spending time together.
308
So if you're open to do it.
309
Sure.
310
Okay.
311
So thanks everybody for watching.
312
Have a good day.
313
And if you like these videos you can like comment
314
and subscribe and share it with someone if you think
315
that they could improve their English specifically doing a combination you
316
can switch from slow to fast to I have a few beginner videos
317
but mostly slow and and fast or real English
318
but thank you for the support thank you shout out to the members as well
319
and they were the first to learn about the the book and that it came out.
320
So thank you very much, everybody.
321
Have a great day.
322
I'll talk to you next time.
323
Bye-bye.
324
Bye.

  • Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: revise /ɹɪˈvaɪz/, vlog /ˈvlɑɡ/, absorb /æbˈsɔɹb/, livelihood /ˈlaɪvlihʊd/, memorize /ˈmɛm.əˌɹaɪ̯z/
  • /æ/ — offener als „ä“: gymnastics /d͡ʒɪmˈnæs.tɪks/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, absorb /æbˈsɔɹb/, shatter /ˈʃætɚ/, batch /bæt͡ʃ/

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.
