Shadowing Practice: Unit 6 Vid - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Hello and welcome to unit 6.
2
It's time to start working on those individual sounds, those specific sounds that might be difficult for you.
3
Now as you start to practice these sounds, don't forget about rhythm.
4
Rhythm is still important.
5
So when you're training and doing the training audios, you know, practice the sounds of course, but also remember good rhythm.
6
Pause when I pause.
7
Right?
8
Get that music correct.
9
Make sure that's correct.
10
And then also you'll be working, of course, on these specific sounds.
11
In this unit, a sound that is very difficult for many people.
12
It's that TH sound.
13
One more word about these different lessons for the sounds.
14
In some of these units, the sounds will be very difficult for you.
15
And you might get frustrated.
16
You might feel like you're not improving.
17
That's all normal.
18
Just relax and keep following the five-day effortless English pronunciation process.
19
It's designed to be successful.
20
It's designed for a reason.
21
So, if on the first day, and the second day, and the third day, it feels difficult, don't worry.
22
Just relax.
23
Okay?
24
The point is not to be perfect.
25
Nobody's perfect.
26
Everybody makes mistakes.
27
Just focus on improving a little bit, a little bit each day.
28
Point number two.
29
Some of the units will be very, very easy for you.
30
Because your language will already have the sound.
31
So you'll think, oh, this is easy.
32
I already have th in my language.
33
Or I already have r and l in my language.
34
So this is so simple.
35
No problem.
36
Still focus and do your best for five days on that unit.
37
If the sounds are easy for you, then instead focus again on getting the rhythm, the music, the pitch correct.
38
You need to continually practice that rhythm so that you get the correct rhythm of American English.
39
So anytime you have an easy unit with easy sounds, don't just become lazy.
40
Still practice all of those five things.
41
Recording yourself, pausing and imitating, listening carefully, tracking.
42
do all of those things so you can improve your speaking speed
43
and so that your rhythm and music will continue to get better and better and better.
44
Time for our sound in this unit, the TH sound.
45
Now I mentioned there are actually two versions of it.
46
Let's learn the soft TH.
47
We'll call it the soft TH.
48
And it sounds like this.
49
Now how do you make that sound?
50
Many people have problems with this sound, so let me show you exactly how to do it.
51
Now the first thing that happens when you make the TH sound is your tongue will actually come out, you're pushing it out between your teeth.
52
So put your teeth like this, and there's a small space between your teeth.
53
And then push your tongue between.
54
Now an important note as you learn these specific sounds.
55
When you're practicing, do them very strongly.
56
Now of course when I say the TH sound, I don't do everything really, really big.
57
But I've been saying this sound my whole life, so it's easy for me.
58
But for you, you need to practice, so I want you to do it very strongly.
59
Exaggerate these sounds.
60
Make them sound super, super, super strong.
61
If I tell you to push your tongue out, then push it out a lot, okay?
62
When you improve later, everything can become a little smaller.
63
But when you're first learning, make everything big, exaggerated.
64
So, tongue comes out.
65
And then you're going to actually, not really bite, but press your teeth against your tongue.
66
Right?
67
So your tongue is touching both teeth, and it's between them, like this.
68
Yeah?
69
And then, the final part of making this soft TH is you blow air.
70
Blow air through your teeth.
71
Nothing really moves.
72
Okay, so it's like this.
73
That's it.
74
And you can hear it's a very soft sound.
75
That's why it's called the soft TH.
76
So I'm just closing the space with my tongue, kind of biting my tongue a little bit softly, don't hurt yourself, and then blowing air.
77
Now another key part about this to make it sound correct, especially in a word, is you You want to stretch this sound.
78
Because it's so soft, you need to make it a little bit longer.
79
Right?
80
If you do it really fast, nobody will hear it.
81
If you go, people won't hear the sound at all.
82
So you have to actually make it a little slow, a little long.
83
Stretch it out.
84
Let's do some words that have a soft TH.
85
I'll say them and then you practice with me.
86
And we're going to be very, very strong with our TH sound.
87
Think.
88
Think.
89
You see here I'm stretching the TH.
90
I'm making that TH very slow.
91
I want you to do that also.
92
It's important.
93
Low air.
94
Think.
95
Think.
96
Thing.
97
What is that?
98
Thing.
99
Thing.
100
Three.
101
Three.
102
Three.
103
Thirty.
104
Thirty.
105
Thirty.
106
Thanks.
107
Thanks.
108
Thanks.
109
Bath.
110
It's at the end of the word now.
111
Bath.
112
Again, make the TH very long.
113
Make it super long.
114
We're practicing.
115
Bath.
116
Bath.
117
Truth.
118
Truth.
119
Truth.
120
Math.
121
Math.
122
Last one.
123
Tooth.
124
Tooth.
125
Tooth.
126
Let's do one more.
127
Mouth.
128
Mouth.
129
Mouth.
130
That's the soft TH.
131
Congratulations.
132
The second TH, we could call it the hard TH, we could call it the vibrating TH.
133
It's a stronger sound.
134
It's a little bit louder sound and it's stronger because there's a vibration.
135
Otherwise it's the same.
136
So you do everything the same with your tongue and your teeth.
137
Right?
138
So teeth again, tongue sticks out, You're going to blow air just the same way.
139
So how do we make it vibrate?
140
Well now you need to vibrate your throat and your tongue.
141
Remember the last unit when I talked about vibration?
142
It's very important for some sounds.
143
This is one of those sounds.
144
You need to get the vibration very strong in your throat and your tongue even can vibrate, meaning it's going to shake very quickly.
145
And it'll sound like this.
146
It's the same sound, the only difference is now you're vibrating,
147
your tongue is doing this and your throat is also vibrating.
148
Same sound, same position, vibrating.
149
Let's do some words with the vibrating TH. That. That.
150
Make it really long again.
151
Stretch it out because we're practicing. That. That.
152
They.
153
They.
154
They.
155
The.
156
The.
157
The. Or the.
158
Same word.
159
The or the.
160
This.
161
This. That. That. That.
162
Now in the middle.
163
Mother.
164
Mother.
165
Okay, I'm doing it very strong.
166
I'm making it very slow so you can hear it and practice it.
167
Mother.
168
It's not mother, right?
169
That's the soft one.
170
You have to get the vibration.
171
Mother.
172
Make the vibration super strong, exaggerate it as you practice so you can really get the difference.
173
Mother.
174
Together.
175
Together.
176
Together.
177
Together.
178
Breathe.
179
The end of the word.
180
Breathing, right?
181
Breathe.
182
This is when it's telling you to do it.
183
It's like a verb.
184
Breathe.
185
Breathe.
186
Breathe.
187
It's vibrating.
188
Now this is an important word for the TH because there's another word, breath.
189
Breath is a noun.
190
Breath is the air that comes in and out.
191
Breath.
192
That's the soft TH breath.
193
But breathe with the vibration, that's the verb, that's the action of breathing.
194
So it changes the meaning if it's soft or hard.
195
Let's practice the soft one first.
196
Breath.
197
Breath.
198
Breath.
199
Take one breath.
200
Breath breath breath breath
201
take one breath breath
202
now the verb breathe breathe breathe
203
vibration let's practice one more variation and this is
204
when we add an R sound
205
because this can also be very difficult for some people so T H and then you add an R
206
So the TH sounds exactly the same.
207
It might be soft, it might be vibrating.
208
But then for the R sound, I'm going to give you a little tip.
209
Make the R sound very loud.
210
Right?
211
When you have THR, for example, the word throw.
212
Throw.
213
Make the R very strong.
214
Some people make the R too soft and they say THO, THO, THO.
215
It doesn't sound right.
216
You gotta get that R sound nice and strong.
217
It's throw.
218
Throw.
219
Here, I'm making that R very hard.
220
Now, if R is difficult for you, don't worry.
221
Relax.
222
There's a whole unit to teach you how to pronounce R correctly.
223
So just play with it in this unit.
224
This is really focused on TH.
225
So I'm just adding the R for a little extra practice.
226
Let's do a few words.
227
Thro.
228
Thro.
229
The other thing you can do with
230
that THR is at the end with the R you can push your lips out a little bit.
231
Thro.
232
See?
233
Watch my lips.
234
Thro.
235
See how they come together and out a little with the R sound?
236
Thro.
237
Thro.
238
Throat.
239
Throat.
240
Throat.
241
Throat.
242
Thro.
243
Go through the house.
244
Thru.
245
Thru.
246
Thru.
247
Thru.
248
Thru.
249
Thru.
250
Thru.
251
Thru.
252
And we'll do the number three.
253
I'll do each sound quite slowly.
254
Thru.
255
Thru.
256
Watch how my lips move because of the R.
257
Thru.
258
See, I start with the normal TH.
259
But for the R sound, I have to push my lips in a little bit.
260
Three.
261
Three.
262
Three.
263
Okay, well, this is just teaching you how to do it.
264
The real practice happens in the training audio.
265
Because for the next five days, you're going to be listening very carefully to these TH sounds.
266
And then you're going to be, you know, pausing and imitating, pausing and imitating.
267
So you'll be saying these TH sounds again and again and again.
268
Right?
269
Then you'll be recording yourself and saying these TH sounds with a loud voice out loud.
270
And then you're going to be tracking the biggest challenge because you'll be doing it at a quick speed.
271
Right?
272
So you're going to get a lot of practice in the next five days with lots
273
and lots and lots of TH sounds.
274
So, you know what to do.
275
go to the training audio and for the next five days follow
276
that same five day process see you in the training

¿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.
