5
The team behind the app HiNative got in contact with me
6
and asked me if I would be interested in trying out their app and seeing if I liked it.
7
Well I did that, and I didn't just like it, I loved it.
8
It is such a good idea.
9
It's fantastic for those burning questions that a dictionary just can't answer.
10
Sometimes you have questions that you need to ask a native person.
11
So today I'm going to show you, with the help of HiNative, how you can ask native speakers speakers anything.
12
So firstly, what is HiNative?
13
Well, it's a culture and language Q&A question and answer application.
14
You can ask native people questions about their language or their culture.
15
The app supports over 110 languages, so if you're interested in languages apart from English, this will work for you as well.
16
It works on both Android and iPhones, but But you can also use it in your web browser on your computer.
17
It's great for advanced users, but it's also really good for beginners because it has special forms that help you ask the question in a precise way.
18
I'll show you that in a minute.
19
The best thing about it, it's free.
20
I know, unbelievable.
21
It does have a premium version which includes a few extra features, but the majority of it is absolutely free and it's completely usable.
22
so it's perfect for anybody on a budget.
23
You can even upload voice recordings of you speaking
24
and get real feedback from real native speakers and they can even reply to you with audio messages.
25
So it really is amazing.
26
Now, I've used the app a couple of times before, but I am going to create a new account with you guys
27
so you see exactly how to do it and how easy it is, so let's get started with that.
28
Okay so I've just downloaded the HiNative app.
29
Obviously I've already had a look at it
30
but I want to go from the beginning to show you guys exactly how you can do it
31
and how easy it is.
32
So let's open the app.
33
So you can sign up with Twitter, Facebook or Lang8 and you can also sign up with with your email account.
34
So I'm going to sign up with my email account then.
35
So my username will be English Lucy.
36

40
There we are, okay.
41
Next.
42
Yes of course I want the newsletter.
43
Right, I'm going to have a go at asking some more questions.
44
So, there are lots of different options you can ask does this sound natural?
45
So the does this sound natural part means that I can write something
46
and a native person will respond to me and tell me whether it sounds like natural English or not.
47
Okay, let's test this out then.
48
Let's see if I can make a small mistake.
49
What will I say?
50

51
Okay, so I will post that then.
52
And then people will vote whether it sounds natural, a little unnatural, unnatural, or I don't understand.
53
Okay.
54
Now there's something really special about the does this sound natural option, because you can record yourself reading out the sentence and people will tell you if your English sounds natural or not.
55
And I know a lot of you will love that feature
56
because I receive a lot of voice messages in my Facebook inbox.

¿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.
