Shadowing Practice: 7 Ways You're Overcomplicating English Learning - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello everyone!

Today we're going to talk about ways in which you are over complicating English learning.

You're probably doing this.

If you're learning a language, if you're learning English, you're probably over complicating it.

So I'm going to try to simplify it for you because that's what I do on this channel.

I keep it real, I keep it realistic, and I keep it simple.

All right?

Keep it simple.

Let's get into it.

Number one, do not try to talk fast.

There are a lot of things in learning a language

that you don't need to force because it will come naturally with more practice, more experience, more fluency as you advance.

It will happen naturally.

You will speak faster as you get better, as you practice, as you improve.

You don't need to try, okay?

A lot of you are coming from languages that you speak very quickly, like Spanish, for example.

That's just one example, but a lot of you speak very quickly in your native language

and you want to try to do the same thing in English.

But you don't need to think about that.

You need to focus on saying the correct words using the correct vocabulary, the correct verbs and verb tenses,

the correct pronunciation clear enough that people can understand you.

That is way more important than the speed.

The speed is like the least important thing.

If you haven't noticed, I am a native speaker of English and I speak slow.

I edit my videos to cut out the pauses and to make it seem faster, but the reality is I speak quite slow.

And then on top of that, American English is a pretty slow dialect.

It's a pretty slow language compared to some others.

We have a very relaxed, casual way of talking, and I think the slower you talk,

the more relaxed and calm and easygoing you seem.

Sometimes I think when we talk too fast, I think it's coming from a place of anxiety, but it depends on the person.

It depends on each person's individual brain and the way

that they process what they want to say and connect it to their mouth.

It's not really something that has to do

so much with whether you're a native speaker or not or how advanced you are.

Obviously, you're going to speak slow if you're a beginner, if you have a low level, if you have very low speaking experience, like very little speaking practice and experience.

But really, it's something that has to do with your personality more than anything.

And what I'm telling you is that often the personality of American English is like very relaxed.

I speak slow and I'm able to do everything I need to do as a native speaker.

So there's no reason to try to speak fast.

All right.

So this is one less thing to worry about.

I want you to completely forget about that.

And I'm guilty of this too, because I speak Spanish and I try to speak fast sometimes, but then I'm more likely to make mistakes when I do that.

So it's better to just not even try to do that, try to speak correctly, and then the speed will naturally come as you advance,

as you get more practice.

The more times you practice saying a sentence or phrase, you will get faster at it without even trying.

But first, you need to make that you're saying that sentence correctly

and clearly the number one thing i think you should focus on

when you're practicing speaking another language is pronunciation especially with english

so i think

that makes it simpler for you it's you don't have to

focus on 20 million different things just focus on speaking clearly

and correctly all right next one i've talked about this before

in a previous video don't worry about translating in your head this is also something that you should not be forcing.

This also comes naturally with practice, with experience, with fluency as you advance.

When you are learning new things, it is necessary to translate from your native language to the new language.

Sometimes literally, sometimes not.

It depends.

But this is necessary because you're not a little baby, you're not a little child, you need a reference point.

So it's totally normal and natural and inevitable to translate from your native language to the new language.

You don't need to worry about trying to force yourself to think in English or your new language.

Just continue working on your English and over time with more and more practice, more speaking, more listening, more exposure,

you will start to think in English more often.

You will find yourself thinking in English naturally, but not even all the time.

I speak Spanish.

I learned Spanish.

I think in Spanish most of the time when I'm speaking Spanish, but sometimes I still have to think about, okay, now what am I trying to say in English and how would we say that in Spanish?

And I have to try to think about stuff like that.

This is normal.

It's great to learn new ways of thinking in a new language.

That's absolutely necessary.

When you're studying English, it's important to have thoughts like, oh, that's how they say it in English.

Oh, that's different than how they say it in my native language.

Okay, so the way of thinking about it is a little different.

Instead of thinking like this, they think like this.

That will help you speak English correctly.

That will help you think in English.

So those are great thoughts to have when you're studying, but you don't need to like try to force that.

Like that should just happen naturally when you're learning English.

Like, huh, oh, they say that differently.

That's a different way of thinking.

Okay, great.

I'll try to think like that.

I'll try to remember that.

But you don't need to get frustrated with yourself because you're translating things from your native language, okay?

There should be zero frustration, okay?

There should be no pressure because all of this stuff is just a natural part of learning a language.

Everybody wants to learn a language overnight, but it just, it doesn't happen.

It takes years and years of experiences and learning all kinds of little contextual details and, oh, in this case, they say this,

but in this case, they say that, It takes years of that.

So you have to just trust the process and relax.

Next one.

Don't waste your time learning uncommon idioms.

There are so many English teachers on the internet who love to make videos teaching strange idioms.

A lot of them we don't use very often.

There are a lot of phrases that exist in English

that are not things you're gonna hear more than once a year maximum.

A lot of idioms, a lot of phrases are not as common as students are led to believe.

I think it's good to watch English teachers' videos like mine, for example, that help you identify some of your mistakes.

100

That kind of point out common mistakes that students make and to kind of correct that.

101

I think teachers are really helpful for that.

102

But I think for learning how we speak on a day-to-day basis, like learning how native speakers really talk,

103

you have to listen to native speakers talking naturally.

104

And that's where you'll learn the idioms and, you know, the realistic ones, the realistic phrases and words and idioms.

105

And I'm not talking about movies and TV shows, because movies and TV shows are made with scripts.

106

It's not real spontaneous talking.

107

There are literal professional writers, like people whose entire career,

108

entire job is to write scripts as creative and interesting and funny and colorful and exciting as possible.

109

That's not realistic speaking.

110

That's not everyday real life talking.

111

That is a script.

112

So I'm not talking about movies and TV shows.

113

I'm talking about natural, spontaneous podcasts, YouTube videos like mine, for example, where you can clearly see that I'm not speaking from a script.

114

This is natural.

115

Videos where people are just talking naturally.

116

Instagram videos, TikTok, whatever.

117

When people are talking to a camera or they're having a conversation with somebody else, like in a podcast, but it's all spontaneous, natural.

118

It's not scripted.

119

And you can tell.

120

You can tell when it's scripted and when it's not.

121

So you need to be listening to unscripted native speakers, speaking the dialect that you want to learn, that you want to improve on.

122

And that is where you will learn the phrases and everything that people really use on a regular basis.

123

If you're watching English teachers saying, don't say once in a while, say once in a blue moon, you need to stop.

124

Okay.

125

Because even though once in a blue moon exists and you might hear a native speaker say it, I think I've only heard one person in my entire life say that, but anyways, the truth is,

126

is that it's just not common enough to be worth your time.

127

We only have so much time to focus on the language that we're learning.

128

So it's much better to focus on the way more useful language, the way that the phrases that are so much more common and useful.

129

And you don't need a million ways of saying the same thing.

130

Just need like one, maybe two ways of saying something.

131

That's it.

132

So bottom line, yes, there are tons of idioms in English.

133

A lot of them are not even that common and not even really worth learning in general.

134

Keep it simple.

135

Don't overcomplicate English.

136

Next one.

137

Okay, this next one is continuing from what I was talking about before, how movies and TV shows are made with a script.

138

And also, there are a lot of reasons why movies and TV shows are harder to understand than YouTube videos and podcasts.

139

A lot of times, the audio quality sucks, so much so that even native speakers will use subtitles sometimes because the audio is so bad.

140

It's so hard to hear.

141

Oftentimes they're like whispering.

142

There's like sound effects and stuff.

143

Like I said, it's a script.

144

So not only is it not spontaneous talking, like they're not thinking as they speak, they're just like robotically reciting a script,

145

but it's also just like a much faster pace because of that.

146

If you like watching movies and TV shows and you think that it helps you go ahead.

147

I'm not here to discourage that at all.

148

I certainly use some movies and TV shows to help me with my Spanish,

149

but my favorite resources, the most useful resources for me were always YouTube videos,

150

Instagram videos, normal, normal speaking podcasts.

151

I haven't listened to a lot of podcasts in Spanish, but if I had to learn the language again, or if I wanted to learn a new language, I would probably do that.

152

Podcasts are a great tool and there's so many of them in English.

153

I mean, so many podcasts in English.

154

All you got to do is just Google it.

155

Just search like podcasts in English.

156

It's just so many.

157

If you're learning English, you're learning a language that is just everywhere on the internet.

158

I mean, there are so many resources.

159

There's so much content of native English speakers, naturally speaking.

160

There's really no reason you have to watch like movies and TV shows or scripted things.

161

So if you find yourself struggling with movies and TV shows, like it's just, it just seems like it's hard

162

and it's just frustrating and you understand YouTube videos and podcasts a lot easier, then don't worry about it.

163

Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.

164

You know, don't overcomplicate it for yourself.

165

Just stick to the realistic English resources.

166

Just last night, I watched a Colombian movie of these kids that like, they grew up in the street.

167

They're like kids that live in the street and they have like a super street dialect of Colombia.

168

It's like Colombian Spanish, but like super like, you know, the kids who live in the street, you know what I mean?

169

And so, yeah, I put on the subtitles because I wasn't going to understand a lot of that.

170

But imagine if I tried to judge my Spanish ability based on that video.

171

Like imagine if I got frustrated like oh like no I understand I understand

172

that of course I'm not going to understand this that's not even like the dialect I'm even concerned with

173

and that's the thing pay attention to what you're watching there's probably like different accents

174

and dialects and different things like don't get frustrated about the fact

175

that you don't easily understand a million different versions of the

176

language you're trying to learn that's a lot of pressure you're putting on your brain.

177

If you understand 99 or 100% of my videos of me speaking, you're doing fantastic.

178

I understand that I speak slowly and clearly about simple topics right into the microphone with good audio editing, so it's a lot easier.

179

But if you understand me talking, what that tells me is that it's not really your English knowledge that's lacking.

180

You know a ton of English.

181

But a lot of people when they speak, they don't enunciate very well.

182

They speak too fast.

183

They don't speak clearly.

184

They speak too quiet.

185

Oh my God.

186

The amount of times I've had to tell Spanish speakers to speak up, to speak louder, to yell at me because they're talking too quiet.

187

And I'm like, what the hell are you saying to me right now?

188

I know what you're saying in Spanish, but you're talking too quietly.

189

You need to speak up.

190

Recently, I got a comment on my YouTube channel that said, hello, profe, I understand everything that you say,

191

but my problem is when I listen to other native speakers who seem like they are mumbling, you know, they don't speak clear and in low tone of voice,

192

what do you recommend me to do?

193

Thank you, and by the way, I'm a very big fan of your channel, see you.

194

Okay, I just read that word for words.

195

It wasn't totally correct English, but I just read it exactly.

196

Thank you for your support.

197

To respond to you, if you're listening to native speakers who are mumbling

198

or have a low tone of voice and you're frustrated about that because you're frustrated with your own English, what are you doing?

199

Why are you frustrated with your ability to understand when these people don't even know how to speak?

200

okay you should be frustrated with them not knowing how to speak

201

and that's the thing a lot of people just speak really

202

badly a lot of native speakers are not considerate of others

203

when they speak most of them have never learned another language

204

or they just never really thought about it they're just not

205

really aware of the importance of speaking clearly these people annoy

206

me too you know what you need to tell them speak

207

up i don't understand you you're mumbling you need to speak

208

clearly you need to enunciate i cannot hear you that's what you need to say

209

because i'm a native speaker and that's what I would say to them in English or Spanish.

210

Any language.

211

I don't care.

212

It's ridiculous.

213

Why are you taking responsibility for not understanding someone who can't even speak well?

214

If you understand people who speak clearly and you don't understand people who don't, that's not your problem.

215

Stop taking responsibility for that.

216

Stop getting frustrated with yourself.

217

Even native speakers, we don't understand each other when we don't speak clearly or sometimes we just don't hear each other.

218

So don't overcomplicate it for yourself by putting pressure on yourself

219

and getting frustrated when you don't understand every single thing and every person in English all the time.

220

Because that's not realistic.

221

Do you understand everybody in your native language all the time?

222

Do you understand everything all the time super easily?

223

How many times are you speaking your native language and you go, what?

224

What did you say?

225

What?

226

What?

227

I didn't hear that.

228

What?

229

what are you talking about?

230

Like how many times do you do?

231

A lot, right?

232

So relax, okay?

233

Relax.

234

You need to understand that this isn't even about you.

235

It's about people being bad speakers or just like natural human miscommunication.

236

Sometimes we just don't hear each other.

237

We just, you know, also English is a language with a lot of contractions, a lot of things that run together.

238

So yeah, bottom line, relax.

239

The next way you're overcomplicating your English probably is by thinking

240

that you need to talk to someone or a native speaker or anyone in English in order to practice your English,

241

in order to practice speaking.

242

You need to understand the difference between speaking and conversation.

243

So many people think that those things are the same.

244

They're not.

245

Speaking is just like producing sound, saying words, saying sentences.

246

It's just you doing the action yourself.

247

Conversation is when at least two people are doing that to each other, right?

248

Unless we're talking about a conversation between you and yourself, but that's more of an abstract concept, but you could do that also, but you don't have to.

249

Generally, a conversation is between two or more people, right?

250

Speaking is not a conversation.

251

Speaking is just speaking.

252

So you don't need anyone to practice speaking, just like you don't need anyone to practice a musical instrument.

253

Maybe if you want to play a whole song with a band, you do, but to just practice your guitar, you don't need anybody else.

254

To study for literally anything, you know, anything you want to learn, you don't need anybody else.

255

Like you can just study it by yourself.

256

So why would speaking a language be any different?

257

You need to stop thinking of speaking as being the same thing as conversation.

258

So when I say you need to practice speaking, you need to do speaking practice.

259

I'm not talking about conversation you can

260

if you want to you could take a conversation class with me

261

or any other teacher on the internet who offers that

262

but you don't need to to practice speaking you got to

263

be creative it doesn't matter what it is it doesn't matter

264

what you talk about it doesn't matter how you do it just speak don't try to tell me

265

that you don't have a million thoughts in your head

266

because I know you do I know you have a million

267

and one thoughts in your head I know that there are a million and one things going on in your life, in the world that you could talk about.

268

There are a million videos and things on the internet, articles and everything that you could respond to.

269

You can literally listen to a podcast and pretend

270

that you are in the podcast and occasionally pause the video to give your opinion in the conversation.

271

Like there is just so many ways that you can practice speaking.

272

Most of you have heard about shadowing, but it's not just that.

273

It's anything.

274

And as you advance, you will challenge yourself with more complicated topics.

275

Try talking about politics in the language that you're learning.

276

Try talking about other controversial topics.

277

Talk about difficult things.

278

Read an article.

279

Watch a video.

280

Respond to it.

281

Give your opinion.

282

Try to talk about what you learned.

283

Talk about your day.

284

Talk about your week.

285

Talk about your dreams and aspirations.

286

Literally anything.

287

Oh my god, anything.

288

I don't want to hear anybody asking me this question again of like, how do I do this?

289

Like use a little bit of creativity.

290

Okay.

291

Figure it out.

292

So many people are used to having their hand held and like being walked through everything.

293

And that's just, that's just not, you got to grow out of that as an adult.

294

Like you got to become more autodidactic because otherwise you're just sabotaging yourself and your growth in many ways.

295

So yeah, don't overcomplicate speaking practice by thinking that you need to talk to someone.

296

You don't.

297

Or you can talk to someone without their knowledge.

298

You know, you can talk to someone on the internet without them even knowing.

299

You know, you can respond to them in your bedroom, like a one-sided conversation that they are not aware of.

300

You know, if it helps you, you can imagine you're talking to someone, you know, you can respond to someone on the internet or whatever.

301

But the point is, is you don't actually have to be physically, literally talking to someone in order to practice speaking.

302

All right, next one.

303

Don't overcomplicate learning English by watching a million videos on YouTube about how to learn English.

304

I see so many videos like this.

305

Sometimes these are the most viewed, the most popular videos.

306

Not even the videos that are actually teaching you English.

307

No. So often I see that these videos that are actually teaching English have very little views.

308

Like nobody even cares.

309

Nobody even wants to watch those.

310

But the videos that are about how to learn English, everybody's watching.

311

Those videos that are like how I went from B1 to C2 in a year or in six months, it has like a million views.

312

But the video that's actually giving you an English lesson, an actual like speaking, listen to me and practice speaking,

313

shadowing, whatever, it has two views.

314

Everybody is like searching for this secret method and how to maximize and how to go faster and faster.

315

And it's just, it's a big waste of time.

316

I think, I think it's a big waste of time.

317

I never watched a single video like this about learning Spanish.

318

I learned Spanish to an advanced level.

319

And I did not watch a single video about how to learn Spanish.

320

I just consumed content in Spanish as much as I could and practice speaking as much as I could.

321

That's what I did.

322

I cannot complicate it even if I tried to.

323

The solution is often so simple and people don't want to accept it

324

and they don't want to actually put in the work to actually learn the language, the day-to-day learning, studying of the language.

325

So they would rather watch a million videos about how to learn instead of actually learning.

326

If you are one of these people who watches videos about how to learn English, I think you know how to learn English by now.

327

These people are not going to give you some magic solution.

328

They're all telling you the same thing in different ways.

329

And a lot of them are sponsored.

330

So they say, oh, pay a subscription and try this app or try this website or try whatever.

331

It's because they're sponsored.

332

You don't need any of that stuff either.

333

You just need consistent practice, exposure, effort, discipline.

334

That's it.

335

And if you look for content that you enjoy, if you look for things that you like about topics that you like, whatever you would do in your native language,

336

but do it in English, you will enjoy it more and you're more likely to do it.

337

I have always loved watching cooking videos.

338

So when I was learning Spanish, I watched videos about cooking in Spanish.

339

That is one of a million examples.

340

That made it feel like I'm not even studying.

341

I'm just doing something for fun, for entertainment, and it happens to be in Spanish.

342

I still do this.

343

I follow a lot of content about topics that I like, but it's in other languages, Spanish or Portuguese, because it gives me that regular exposure to it.

344

You just have to find the content that you genuinely enjoy, but it's in the language you want to learn.

345

Then it won't even feel like studying.

346

Don't overcomplicate it by forcing yourself to look at content that doesn't even interest you just for the sake of learning.

347

And stop watching videos trying to find the method of how to learn English.

348

It's the same way you learned your native language.

349

Exposure, practice, exposure, practice.

350

That's it.

351

And the final way

352

that people overcomplicate English is by thinking they need to move to another country where that language is spoken.

353

But then they live there for years and they realize, wait a minute, I still have very little contact with native speakers,

354

even though I'm living in a country where the language is spoken.

355

And the contact that I do have, they don't correct me.

356

They don't help me.

357

And then they take classes with me.

358

They contact me and they say, I've been living in the United States for 10 years, for 20 years.

359

And, you know, I'm still insecure about my English.

360

I'm still insecure about it.

361

And they have great English, right?

362

But they're insecure about it because if you don't understand

363

that learning a language is a lifelong process

364

and you'll never be like a native speaker exactly You will keep feeling insecure

365

and you'll keep getting frustrated and you'll be living in the United States for 20 years

366

and even working in English and you'll still take a class with me and be like, I don't feel confident with my English.

367

I think people have unrealistic expectations for themselves in a foreign language.

368

And they also have unrealistic expectations for living in a country that speaks the language.

369

They don't realize that, okay, even if you have a job in another language, you're going to be mostly talking about work-related stuff all the time.

370

Not much more than that.

371

And your co-workers are not going to help you with your English.

372

Like they're not going to like correct you and give you feedback.

373

And you're going to know how to talk about stuff at work, but you're not going to know how to talk about anything else.

374

And it's not like your neighbors are just going to come over to your house

375

and start talking to you all the time.

376

And like, yeah, let's have conversation.

377

Let's be best friends.

378

It's just not realistic.

379

It just doesn't happen, especially in places like the United States, for example.

380

The reality is most of the time people live in their bubble of their family and their friends that they already have,

381

and they're in their car and they're at home and they're maybe at work, but people live in their bubbles.

382

And people in English-speaking countries are not like super interested in talking to everybody because they're used to it.

383

They're not surprised to see foreigners or non-native English speakers.

384

It's nothing special.

385

It's nothing new there.

386

And if you already have a decent level and you're single, you know, you could use dating apps and you could, you know, you could try to get an English speaking partner.

387

And I mean, that would be great.

388

But a lot of people are already in a relationship when they want to move to another country.

389

And so you're really going to be in a bubble.

390

So yeah, the answer to become fluent in a language is not to move to a country that speaks that language.

391

Think about how many people, I mean, millions and millions and millions of people do that.

392

They move to other countries and they don't speak, they don't become fluent in that language.

393

You're also not going to become fluent by taking a course

394

or even from taking conversation classes or from just watching content in English, just listening.

395

It's a combination of a lot of different things.

396

And really the most important part is your individual speaking practice that doesn't even require you to spend money.

397

It doesn't even require you to leave your room, to leave your house.

398

It's the easiest and also most important way to improve in a language.

399

And yet it's the thing that people think of the least when they say, oh, I want to improve.

400

I want to learn.

401

They don't think of that.

402

Everybody is always looking for an external solution.

403

Oh, I need to go to a school.

404

I need to go to another country.

405

I need to spend money over here.

406

That's not how you build your foundation of fluency.

407

That's not how you achieve fluency.

408

And for some people, it's going to be easier than others.

409

We all learn at different speeds.

410

We retain information at different levels of easiness.

411

I don't know.

412

For some of us, it's really easy to imitate sounds.

413

For other people, it's really hard.

414

But everybody can improve.

415

Everybody can improve with consistent exposure and practice.

416

All right.

417

So those are just some of the ways

418

that you might be overcomplicating learning English and most of it is in your mind.

419

Most of it is just you need to change the way you think about learning English.

420

It's not even like what you're doing that's a problem.

421

It's like just the way you're thinking about it.

422

All right, so I hope this video helped you.

423

Let me know in the comments

424

if I made you think about something in a new way that you haven't thought about before.

425

I appreciate your feedback and I hope you have a wonderful day or night.

426

See you in the next one.

427

Bye!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
