Hello everybody, this is Teacher Levy.
2
Today we'll be doing another slow English video.
3
This is for intermediate or advanced level speakers who are looking to precisely understand the words that I am saying.
4
I have filmed some other videos on my channel.
5
You can go check those out if you would like.
6
Today, we'll talk about comprehensible input.
7
Notice I say input, not input.
8
If you speak quickly, you can practice saying input.
9
Comprehensible input.
10
I decided to go for a walk this morning because it was an early morning.
11
and people say that it is good to get a breath of fresh air in the morning.
12
So today I am walking in nature and hopefully I'll be able to walk
13
and talk and share a little knowledge about comprehensible input.
14
What is comprehensible input?
15
One of my great students explained it to
16
me explained it again i am not saying it but explained it
17
if you speak quickly you can practice saying explain it explain it Sorry,
18
I am a little out of breath because of walking uphill and also speaking at the same time.
19
One of my great students explained to me what is comprehensible input because I did not know.
20
He told me that comprehensible input means learning a language from your level plus one.
21
This means that you are learning about 20% new vocabulary.
22
Notice, again, I said percent and not percent.
23
If you are just practicing English, you can start by saying percent,
24
and then you can practice saying percent.
25
Also, the word notice, I am saying notice and not notice.
26
Notice.
27
Also, the word not.
28
I am not saying not, but I am saying not.
29
not.
30
Comprehensible input is finding material
31
or finding videos or podcasts which are on your level
32
plus one level difficulty.
33
You should maybe strive, to strive is to go for maybe 20% new vocabulary
34
or 20% of words which you don't know,
35
but perhaps you can guess their meaning,
36
or you can understand the context.
37
The context is the situation.
38
When I first heard about comprehensible input,
39
notice again I said about and not about.
40
try saying it at first about and later you can say about, about.
41
The word later is similar because sometimes people say later,
42
but while you're practicing, you can practice saying later.
43
I will do something later.
44
I liked the idea of comprehensible input
45
because a lot of times students practice basic English because it is slow.
46
But because it is slow, or as I say it, it is.
47
It is.
48
I like to say it is.
49
Because it is slow, they're also using very simple vocabulary.
50
And because they're using very simple vocabulary, you are no longer challenging yourself.
51
You are remaining on the same level or perhaps you're even going to get worse because the saying is,
52
if you're not improving, then you're dying or regressing.
53
Regressing means you're going backwards instead of forwards.
54
It is very windy on top of this hill,
55
so perhaps I'll have to find another path where you can hear me better.
56
I'll go look for it, and perhaps I'll have better audio.
57
Also, if you are listening to podcasts
58
or even TV shows where the speakers are speaking very fast and they're using advanced vocabulary,
59
then you can also get overwhelmed or you will have too much information to process.
60
In this case, you will also not perfect or to make perfect your English.
61
that's why it is good to find videos like these
62
or podcasts like these where you can have a bit slower notice i said bit and not bit
63
a bit like a little,
64
a bit slower English, but still using regular vocabulary
65
that native speakers would use so that you are used to this kind of communication.
66
Speaking of podcasts, I was thinking about perhaps doing my own podcast
67
so that I can have another outlet.
68
A outlet is like a platform.
69
And notice, again, I'm saying outlet and not outlet.
70
This is similar to what we previously discussed about having a more silent T.
71
I want to have an outlet.
72
I want to have an outlet.
73
To do audio, but also to perhaps do a little faster English.
74
Little, again, not little.
75
Although, if you are beginning, you can practice saying little.
76
and then when you feel comfortable, you can say little.
77
Again, I said comfortable instead of comfortable,
78
but I believe I shared that in a previous video as well.
79
it is better to be articulate and clear when you're speaking than to have absolutely perfect pronunciation.
80
Absolutely also has a T, but I didn't say absolutely.
81
I said absolutely.
82
So, I believe it is better to have an accent.
83
Notice I said accent and not accent.
84
But again, it is a bit of a silent T or perhaps they call it a flap T.
85
I believe it is better to have a slight
86
or a little accent rather than trying to speak like a perfect native speaker.
87
And then you start mushing together the words
88
or putting together the words in a way that people don't understand because you're not speaking clearly.
89
So keep that in mind.
90
And about the podcast, I was thinking about maybe having a higher speed where
91
if you graduate these slow English videos, you can go there.
92
Again, graduate, I said with a silent T, and I didn't say graduate.
93
Although you can say graduate, you can also practice saying graduate when you graduate.
94
So when somebody graduates from these slow English videos or they feel very confident,
95
again confident and not confident
96
but you can practice the same way as i mentioned earlier sometimes there are animals here
97
so i am keeping an eye out or i'm looking around just to make sure that there are no big animals
98
But, again, but, and not but.
99
But, you can say but if you are beginning and start practicing saying but.
100
But if there are students who are even looking to simultaneously,
101
simultaneously means at the same time,
102
at, not at, at the same time,
103
want to hop over to the podcast, hop over to jump over or to check it out,
104
then they can once a week challenge themselves and perhaps get a feel or get an understanding
105
of what full speed conversation sounds like.
106
Get is similar to but, so I am not saying get.
107
I am saying get.
108
Get used to.
109
We're coming up on a big tree that I've seen before.
110
I'll try to show it to the camera.
111
It looks bigger in person.
112
It is quite a big tree and who knows how long it's been here.
113
Comprehensible input works for all levels.
114
A lot of times, a lot is similar to but.
115
So instead of a lot, we can say a lot.
116
A lot of times.
117
A lot of times, people share that they learned English through a kid's book or a children's book.
118
This technique or this method works perhaps if you are at the beginning stages of your language learning journey or process.
119
And the children's book boosts you,
120
so it raises you to the next level because it is slightly above your current level.
121
Notice again, current and not current.
122
But you can say current and then practice saying current, your current level.
123
It's important to still have a slight T sound.
124
You shouldn't only say current, my current level.
125
You should have a little t current,
126
your current level, just to make sure that people understand what you are saying.
127
There was a comment.
128
Notice I said comment, not comment.
129
There was a comment on my previous YouTube video.
130
I think it was Sander, but I will put it here.
131
Put it, not put it.
132
I will put it here so we can read it.
133
But basically, he asked, how can he improve his listening comprehension?
134
Comprehension is understanding.
135
And I thought about, perhaps he is not listening to the correct level,
136
which will help him get to the next level in his listening comprehension.
137
If he is at the A2 or B1 level,
138
then perhaps looking at TV shows or movies might be too difficult
139
and it won't raise his level because it is too big of a difference. for him.
140
Perhaps you need to practice finding videos which you feel comfortable learning a little bit of new vocabulary.
141
And once you feel very, very satisfied or the content is very easy,
142
then you can gradually move on to the next level.
143
I had to switch arms because my arm was getting a little bit sore
144
but I believe it is good to be ambitious in your language learning process Sander,
145
but it is also good to take things one step at a time,
146
which means to take something by the process.
147
So you level up and then you find new material, which helps you level up even further.
148
Again, this video is designed for intermediate.
149
Notice I said intermediate and not intermediate.
150
So you can also practice saying intermediate.
151
Intermediate.
152
This video is for intermediate or advanced level learners who are looking to level up and precisely...
153
There was a deer behind me.
154
and precisely understand all the vocabulary and phrases that I am saying.
155
Some people fall into the category between B1 to C2,
156
but perhaps their speaking level is higher than their listening level, or vice versa.
157
which means the other way around.
158
Perhaps their listening level is higher than their speaking level,
159
in which case you should definitely start speaking out loud to yourself.
160
if you are not able to find a tutor,
161
not tutor, a tutor, or a speaking buddy who you can speak with.
162
Also, I said the word out loud, and I didn't fully say out loud,
163
but I said out loud.
164
hopefully this video was helpful for people and feel free to comment questions
165
or things you would like me to discuss i will try my best to answer them perhaps in the comments
166
or even in a video like this where I can have a longer answer.
167
Thank you for watching.
168

¿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.
