My second tip, remember to adapt these phrasal verbs to your specific areas of expertise and your accomplishments.
27
One way you can do that is by sharing your own example sentences, and that leads me directly into how to remember these new phrasal verbs.
28
I know it's difficult to learn and remember new vocabulary. There are two keys to helping you do that successfully.
29
Number one, when you learn new phrasal verbs, learn them in context, and that's exactly what you've done here in this lesson.
30
What that means is rather than just learn a specific phrasal verb and its definition, it's important to see how that phrasal verb is used in a real life example sentence or a real life scenario.
31
Here we have focused on how to use all 10 of these phal verbs in statements that might be used in a job interview in English, and again, if you want more examples, you can visit this lesson at my Speak Confident English website.
32
The second key to remembering new vocabulary is to practice actively use these phrasal verbs in your own speaking and your own writing.
33
That means going beyond watching this lesson.
34
So here's what I want you to do.
35
I want you to choose two or three of these phrasal verbs that apply to your area of expertise and adapt the sentences to your background.
36
I want you to try using those phrasal verbs in your own example sentences.
37
You can always share those sentences with me and the comment section below.

Practice Tips

As you work on these phrasal verbs, I recommend engaging in shadowspeak exercises to heighten your understanding and pronunciation. Listen to the original video carefully, mimicking Annemarie's tone and cadence. Keep your practice sessions focused, especially since the pace of the video can guide your shadow speak. As you listen, pause the video at the end of each sentence to repeat what you hear. This will not only help you improve your English pronunciation but also reinforce the context in which each phrasal verb is used.

Try to naturally incorporate the vocabulary into your conversations. For example, recreate real-life scenarios where you might use these phrasal verbs during an interview. Reflect on your past experiences and adapt your responses, utilizing phrases like "I carried out market research," or "I took on new responsibilities." This active use of vocabulary will cement your learning and aid in long-term retention.

Lastly, don't hesitate to record yourself while practicing. Listening to your speech will allow you to identify areas for improvement and align your pronunciation with that of fluent speakers. Make it a habit to review your recordings and compare them with the original to refine your skills further. Let the power of shadowspeaks guide your learning journey in mastering English for job interviews.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
