More shadowing practice in American English.

I'm a native speaker from the U.S and I'm a classically trained singer.

So I have a background in the International Phonetic Alphabet or IPA,

which is a collection of symbols that represent all the sounds you can find in any language.

So throughout my shadowing videos,

I will also provide some IPA symbols to represent the sounds that I'm making,

and this will help you to understand overall how to practice and improve your pronunciation.

Now, I said shadowing videos,

plural, because within my community here on YouTube,

I asked my members, what series do you want to see from me next?

I already have a phrasal verb series,

which I'll link here, but they also voted for a shadowing series.

So shout out to my members for that.

In fact, shout out to our newest members,

Ana Anakua, Lucimara Benedetti, and Jevinova.

Welcome, and thank you so much for your support.

Okay, for today's video, I thought what phrases will be the most useful to learn when you're new to speaking English.

And this includes those of you who have studied English for a long time,

but you don't live in an English speaking country,

so you don't speak the language a lot.

Well, if you move to an English-speaking country or you just travel to one,

the most common scenario you're going to need English is going to a restaurant or cafe.

I know because when I first left the US,

I moved to Austria and I was learning the language.

I had studied it for a few years,

but I still really struggled speaking.

And let me tell you,

with every visit to a restaurant or a cafe,

I learned through experience, sometimes failing,

what the correct phrases to use were.

This involved listening to native speakers around me and just imitating what they said.

So with this video, you don't have to do all that

trial and error like I did

because I'm going to give you the phrases you'll need

and all you have to do is repeat after me or better yet say it with me.

You can pause the video at any time

if you need more time to repeat a phrase

or you want to write it down or check the meaning in your native language.

Are you ready?

Let's go!

English made easy with Claire Hi,

do you have a table for two available?

Now the second time, say it with me.

Hi, do you have a table for two available?

We have a reservation under...

Hi, is there a wait for a table?

I don't have a reservation,

but do you have any open tables?

I don't have a reservation,

but do you have any open tables?

How long is the wait?

Can we sit at the bar while we wait?

I quickly want to point out my pronunciation of the word can.

You will have learned can with this vowel sound, a.

A lot of times you will hear native speakers pronounce this word as can can

and that's a completely different vowel sound so

if you hear can i can i

and not can i don't be thrown off this is another pronunciation

or a very fast pronunciation of the word can so you try it with me can we

can we can we sit at the bar while we wait?

Or can I can I can I sit at the bar while I wait?

These next few phrases will all start with can we or can I? so we can practice.

Can I sit by the window please?

Can we sit at a booth instead of a table?

Can we sit outside? Can we sit outside?

We have a toddler with us.

Do you have a high chair?

We have a toddler with us.

Do you have a high chair?

Hi, can I get an iced coffee with oat milk please?

I'll start with a glass of water.

In American English, if there's a T at the end or in the middle of a word,

we often pronounce this as a d sound more of a stop sound

so instead of water we say water water i'll start with a glass of water can i see the drinks menu

can i see the drinks menu do you have any non-alcoholic options Do you have any non-alcoholic options?

Do you have any non-dairy milk?

I prefer oat milk, but almond milk's fine.

Do you have any non-dairy milk?

I prefer oat milk, but almond milk's fine.

Can I get a refill on my drink?

I take my coffee black, no cream or sugar.

You'll notice the word or is not overly pronounced in rapid speech.

It kind of just sounds like er,

cream or sugar, cream or sugar.

Let's say the whole sentence together.

I take my coffee black, no cream or sugar.

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.
