hey what's up Stefanie the English coach here from EnglishFullTime.com in this video I'm going to answer the question will reading out loud help me improve my pronunciation and speaking skills now the simple answer is that yes
2
it will help in some ways but there are better methods and I don't recommend that you primarily use this method reading out loud to improve your pronunciation and your speaking skills so I'm going to explain why in this
3
video okay so several months ago I wrote an email about this to all of my subscribers and one person wrote back and he was so angry and he was like how
4
can you say that reading out loud isn't the best method for improving our pronunciation and our speaking skills this is what we've been taught this is what our teachers have shown us this is what we all do and first of all I was
5
kind of like okay just because that's what everybody does and that's what you're being taught doesn't mean that that's the best method right the reason why reading out loud is not the best way to practice your pronunciation is
6
because words in English and I say this all the time are not pronounced the way that they are written in fact words in English often have nothing to do their
7
pronunciation has nothing to do with the way they're written we have silent letters we have confusing letter combinations you know when we're speaking we cut off the ends of words we add sounds we eliminate sounds and when
8
you are reading text on a page that text is flat you can't read what intonation you're supposed to speak with you can't read what emphasis you're supposed to
9
put on which syllable you can't read any of that information so reading the words on a page you could be reading them incorrectly and who's gonna be there to correct you right who's gonna be there to say hey no you keep messing up right
10
there you keep doing that that's not how it's done if you're just reading out loud you could be practicing something incorrectly and then practicing it consistently incorrectly and then you're gonna solidify an incorrect language
11
pattern in your mind simply put you cannot read sounds you can hear sounds so if you're trying to improve your pronunciation you should not be
12
reading and then trying to pronounce you should be listening and then imitating what you hear because your ears will not deceive you but your eyes will you'll read a word and you'll see a silent letter there and you won't realize it's
13
silent so you think you have to pronounce it right your eyes are deceiving you they're making you think that you need to pronounce a word in a certain way when you don't so rather you should listen to words listen to sentences listen to audio clips and just imitate what you hear
14
right many of you know this as shadowing you're shadowing what you hear you're saying it as you're hearing it or you're pausing the audio pausing the video and then repeating what you just heard and then replay those audios again and again
15
listen repeat listen repeat and that way you will learn to start sounding and speaking more like a native speaker and less like a textbook a lot of foreign speakers when they speak in English they actually sound like a book like very
16
choppy you know like they're reading one word at a time and pronouncing everything perfectly but nobody speaks like that right so reading out loud is
17
not a great method because your eyes are gonna see separations between words they're gonna see the spaces and it's gonna give you this idea that oh my gosh there's a space here between these words so I need to make spaces in between my
18
words when I speak and that's simply not true we run all the words together practically okay you guys we use so many contractions in English so again if you're listening and then repeating what you hear you're more
19
likely to develop a natural sounding English now the other reason why reading out loud won't necessarily help you with your speaking is because the way that
20
sentences are constructed in a book are not the way that they are spoken in conversation okay and I'm going to give you an example of this so I have a book here it's called the e-myth revisited and here on chapter 3 the very first
21
sentence goes like this it is self-evident that businesses says like people are supposed to grow and with growth comes change that's a great sentence but it's a great sentence for a book I do not talk like this okay
22
so instead of saying it is self-evident I would say like hey it's obvious it's obvious and instead of starting my sentence like that I might not even say it's obvious cuz when something is obvious we just say it we don't have to
23
say it's obvious so I would just say you know businesses are like people they have to grow that's it that's how I speak I don't have to speak in this fancy way that this book is written and this book isn't even that fancy but as
24
you can see from this sentence here it still has some pretty complex sentences and again these sentences are very well-written but nobody talks like that so if you want to learn to speak in a natural way you have to imitate people
25
and not even people giving speeches because the way you speak when you give a speech is a lot different than the way you speak in a conversation so in conclusion reading out loud will help you improve reading out loud okay if you
26
want to improve your pronunciation listen and repeat what you hear and if you want to improve your speaking skills then do that same thing listen and repeat but engage in conversations with other people where you can practice your
27
speaking skills and where you can get feedback because in a conversation someone's gonna say oh I'm sorry what what do you mean by that or I don't understand what you mean or could you explain that more or something like that
28
that shows you how you're doing and likewise if nobody asks that if nobody says oh what do you mean if they just carry on with the conversation and keep going then that confirms to you that they understood you and you're doing
29
great with your English okay so if all of this makes sense please let me know in the comments and I would love to do more videos like this where I answer frequently asked questions so if you have a question that you'd like me to do
30
a video about please let me know in the comments just type it out there in the comments and if you want to give me some context also that would be really helpful tell me why you're asking what you're struggling with and what your
31
goal is what you're trying to achieve okay alright so that is it if you want a guide on to senior English with native speakers meeting native English speakers online interacting with us so you can practice
32
your English improve your English learn new vocabulary build your confidence etc I have a guide on my website I'm going to link it here in the description I always share this guide because it is literally the most popular one on my
33

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.
