That's right. So I never lose a pub quiz.

Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson

This B1 speaking lesson is built on the video “Quiz Night at the Pub”. The speaker keeps coming back to these words: bridge, Kwame, London, Ollie. This video has 21 sentences and 175 words to shadow. The speech runs for 1:15. The speaker talks at a steady 140 words per minute, a comfortable pace for shadowing. Only 78% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English, so the vocabulary is demanding. 4 of its 21 sentences are questions, so it is good practice for question intonation and short answers.

  • Long words — get the stress right: engineer /ˌɛnd͡ʒɪˈnɪ(ə)ɹ/, obviously /ˈɑ(b).vi(.)əs.li/

  2. Shadow it sentence by sentence at normal speed, repeating each one until your rhythm matches the speaker.
  3. Record yourself and compare with the original, paying attention to words like quiz, chip, shock.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
