Shadowing Practice: HOW TO MASTER ANY SKILL FAST - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
What is meta -learning and how do I learn how to learn better?
2
DSSS, Deconstruction, Selection, Sequencing, Stakes.
3
Deconstruction, which is taking a fairly ambiguous goal like learn to swim or learn Japanese.
4
None of those are actually very descriptive.
5
Deconstructing any one of those is breaking it down into constituent parts.
6
You can do that very effectively with the help of an expert.
7
For instance, I mean, if you want to find a silver medalist from the Olympics two Olympics ago,
8
you can probably get on a Zoom call with them for $100 an hour, maybe $50 an hour.
9
Like, you do have access to world -class talent.
10
They would help you figure out, all right, there are all these different possible components.
11
The next part, which is selection, Pareto's Law.
12
So you're picking the 20 % that will give you 80 % of what you want.
13
Let's just use language learning in that case you can very easily find word frequency lists for any given language.
14
Hundreds of thousands of words you could learn.
15
But with the most frequently used 1 ,500, you can get to reasonable conversational fluency in almost any language in 8 to 12 weeks,
16
without question, if you approach it methodically.
17
But you need the right material first.
18
The next S is sequencing, putting it in the right order.
19
This is the magic sauce that gets lost a lot, which is what is a logical sequence for learning any given skill?
20
What do you practice first?
21
So in the case of swimming, for instance, forget about breathing.
22
Like you need to figure out like getting comfortable putting your head underwater, et cetera, et cetera.
23
Last S stands for stakes, which means incentives.
24
So how do you ensure that you will do actually what it is you say you're committing to doing?
25
If more information were the answer, we'd all be billionaires with six -pack apps.
26
So information is clearly not sufficient.
27
It's necessary but not sufficient.
28
Incentives drive behavior change, right?
29
You could give 500 bucks to a friend or 100 bucks, whatever.
30
The amount doesn't really matter.
31
And if you don't do what you say you're gonna do, they donate it to like your most hated political candidate in your name, right?
32
That's another one that I've seen work really well.
33
If people expect some kind of like linear incremental progress, it just ain't gonna happen.
34
And so most people quit before they hit any real inflection points.
35
That's it. That DSSS.
36
Deconstruction, selection, sequencing, stakes, and if you just check those boxes moving that order,
37
your ability to learn will hockey stick in a really meaningful way.

¿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.
