Hey everyone, welcome to another video.
2
You guys loved the previous video, I posted with the same name and asked for more like it, so here we are.
3
Continuing the theme of the previous video about hospital English,
4
in this one we'll be working on and learning the most common vocabulary and phrases people use at the doctor's office,
5
in hospitals, and even with ambulances.
6
This way, your next visit to the doctor
7
or hospital will be stress -free and you'll know exactly what to say
8
and we're using an old tape recording method
9
and I explained how it works
10
and how it may benefit you in the previous video
11
and I'll link it up here if you'd like to watch it
12
but basically everything is pretty simple you just listen and repeat
13
and you can do it as many times as you need
14
or want all right before we jump into the practice itself
15
I'd like to say a huge thanks to the sponsor of
16
this portion of the video I am very excited to announce a brand new AI tool
17
that Elsa Speak has just launched and which is made just for English learners.
18
ELSA AI is a brand new feature of the ELSA Speak app
19
which lets you create your own role play and practice English conversations on any topic you like.
20
You can practice with four preset scenarios
21
or you can create your own to mimic real -life situations that come up in your own daily life.
22
And what's even better is
23
that ELSA will then give you an in -depth evaluation on how you performed after the conversation

¿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.
