शैडोइंग अभ्यास: HỌC NHỒI TỪ VỰNG TIẾNG ANH? 100 TỪ 1 NGÀY CÓ KHẢ THI? [Eng] - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Hey everyone!

Welcome back to another video of Hannah's Lexus.

This is a channel to bump you up from being an intermediate English learner to an advanced super user like myself.

And how are you gonna do that?

I guess by listening to the valuable advice of the one and only Hannah, the alumna of the famed high school for the gifted.

Because you know, I used to be in the English track and I'm now working and living in the US so I kind of have the credentials right?

Today's video is gonna be a little more special than usual just because I'm having liquor?

No.

This is tea.

I'm very boring.

The reason why it's gonna be a little more special than usual is because I'm gonna be speaking in English the

entire video yay and why did I decide to do that well I guess just cuz you know cuz I'm teaching you guys English so I guess I should really

flaunt my English every once in a while and just so that if there are any haters that decide to question my ability

I could just shove this in their face right today's topic is something that I've been seeing a lot on my channel and And that is none other than vocabulary.

Crammy vocabulary.

Yay!

I've been getting a lot of questions on how to learn vocabulary more effectively.

And I didn't really answer any of those questions.

I was a little mean.

But have you ever wondered why I haven't really shared about that yet?

Was it because I wanted to withhold the secret so that I could be the only one with good vocabulary?

Was that the reason why?

I mean maybe I don't know but in all seriousness I feel like there wasn't a good time to talk about

vocabulary just yet because I've been thinking a lot you know every time I get those types of questions about

vocabulary I just thought to myself that what I know right now about learning vocabulary is it good enough

for sharing I've already mentioned it before it took me 20 years to learn English well and at least 10 years to really get a good repertoire of fancy vocabulary.

So to me, given the very long amount of time that I had to spend on learning vocabulary, it seems that I didn't really have a good method of learning vocabulary.

So to be honest, I wasn't proud of the method that I had used to get to where I am today.

Well, I mean, at the time it was necessary because there wasn't a better way to go about learning vocabulary.

But in this day and age where technology is like all the rage, all the hype is everywhere in every field, I feel like telling you guys to go cram vocabularies the traditional way is a little wrong.

That's why I kept my mouth shut.

I didn't really want to say nothing yet.

So let me tell you a story.

When I was in high school, you know, that high school for the gifted, I had a pretty limited vocabulary even though I was in the English track, I know.

Because I already told you before, I didn't really get in because of my fancy vocabulary and stuff.

I got in because I was pretty meticulous in the grammatical sections of the exam.

I was on top of the incoming class, so yeah, I was average to say the least.

I mean, at one point, I was even in the bottom three in my class.

So you don't have to glorify me.

I'm pretty average.

I was really average in the literal sense of the word.

I still remember in my senior year, my homeroom teacher wanted everyone in the class to participate in the citywide excellent student examination, something I don't really know.

But yeah, so I had to join.

I had to take the exam.

I had third prize.

It's not like third rank.

It's like in the group that's called third prize.

It was not hard to get into that group.

A lot of people that weren't in the English track were able to get in that group, like get that prize.

So it was really average.

I'm not trying to be coy about my achievements or something like that.

I'm just telling the truth right now.

It got to the point that one time I went to get more water at the fountain.

I overheard some kids in 11th grade talking shit about me.

They were saying something along the line of me being in the English class but not able to get into a higher group or higher prize.

Yeah, they didn't really think highly of me so it was a little hurtful to hear.

So why am I telling you this story?

I guess I'm just trying to persuade you that I was no different than you guys when I was in high school.

I mean, I guess I had a little better vocabulary, but that was it.

I didn't really have good, fancy vocabulary until I decided to cram for SAT.

But what I did was super traditional.

I basically just picked up the book and stared at the words in the book like 24-7.

and just hoped that they would get into my head.

Eventually they did, but it was very painful.

I had to come up with a lot of silly mnemonics to memorize the words, which I wouldn't want to share with anybody because they are too silly.

If anybody knew, they would question my sanity, how I came up with such dumb logics or something like that.

I mean, it's very similar to picking up a dictionary and try to learn from the dictionary.

It was inefficient and painful.

I didn't really remember a lot of words afterwards.

So I spent the latter half of my senior year doing that without gaining a lot of results in the end.

Then I graduated from high school and got into foreign trade university.

But I didn't really join the university because I thought the program was boring.

So I just took a gap year and then just stayed at home and tried to learn more vocabulary to retake the SAT.

I still remember the first time I took the SAT, I scored maybe around like 500 or yeah, maybe 500.

I don't know how the, you know, the scale is right now, but at that time it was like 500 out of 800.

so I was pretty bad.

So during my gap year, I just decided to just stay home and learn more vocabulary to score better in the verbal section of the SAT exam.

But at that time, I already realized that the traditional way didn't really work for me.

I thought of trying other ways, like writing them down in a notebook or something.

But I was too lazy to do that.

So no, I didn't want to do that.

But I got lucky because at the time I was dating this one guy from the IT class.

He was a very good programmer so he decided to code something up for me and he coded

a flashcard program that would allow me to import all of my vocabulary that I've gathered or collected from multiple sources.

It's a flashcard program so it would just show you a word and then you have to guess the meaning but

the way I I collected the information for each word was that I would include the super detailed definition and then the context in which it was used,

different grammatical notes about that word, and also examples to make sure that I understand how to use the word.

I gathered that information on each word from the dictionary so even that process, the gathering process, was very painful But it had to be done and I was the one that did it.

So once I had the list I just imported everything into the program that my ex-boyfriend wrote for me and it just worked as your normal

flashcard program

Something would show up on the screen And then you have to guess the meaning and tell the program that you remember the word or not And then it would tell you the score and store the score in the memory so that next time it knows to show you more of the forgotten words.

So that was the program that I used to learn vocabulary.

Every day I would open up the program and then I would go through the flashcards until I got 100 memorized cards.

That's where I stopped.

It didn't mean that I would remember perfectly those 100 flashcards the next day.

But by trying to memorize 100 flashcards a day, the words left some impression on me.

and then the next time I see them, I would have the confidence that I had seen those words before and I wouldn't feel so intimidated by the words.

And I guess I could become more comfortable in guessing the meanings in the context.

So that's the point of cramming a lot of vocabulary instead of focusing on maybe 10 or 20 words a day.

100

even with 10 or 20 words a day you will still forget them so why not just gram like 100 200

101

per day and forget them also but you get to see more words and then you'll feel that they're more familiar you wouldn't be

102

so scared of them anymore if you guys really want to go through that painful process that I had to go through in high school, I guess you could use something else.

103

You don't have to use what my ex-boyfriend created for me.

104

You could use something like Anki.

105

It's a flashcard program.

106

I think it's free for desktop and Android.

107

I don't think it's free for iPhone.

108

Or if you don't want to use Anki.

109

I guess you could use other websites like what is it like Quizlet or

110

my flashcard or something yeah I mean you could just Google them they'll show up but if I really have to suggest

111

one program I guess I would suggest that you should go for Anki because it has a good algorithm behind the scene it would remember your progress,

112

it would remember the words that you forget and then it could decide to force you to learn some words more often than others.

113

Yeah so you have it!

114

Those are the programs that you've been asking for.

115

And I'll just be frank with you, the hard part is not going to be finding a program to learn or memorizing the words.

116

The hard part is actually gathering the actual cards like to build up your actual list to learn.

117

I guess there are a lot of people that would ask me why don't I just share the list that I've created so that everybody could use that to learn.

118

Well first of all I don't want to.

119

It was personal to me because I had a lot of personal notes in there and if I shared it with the world I would have to explain my thought process and I don't want that and more importantly

120

Gathering information is actually part of the learning process if you ditch that part You ditch half of the learning process.

121

It's not gonna be as effective.

122

123

Know that it's gonna be painful in the beginning when you have to gather information for

124

Say a thousand words or up to four thousand words like I did in the past

125

But just think about it, if you are the author of your own list,

126

you could decide which thing that benefits you that you want to include in your list because there are a lot of things in my list that are pretty advanced and I don't think it's for everyone.

127

So by customizing your own list you already know the ins and outs of the list of the flashcards and that means that you

128

already memorized like 50% of the cards and later on when you see them again on the flashcard program you could go through those cards pretty quickly just because you already seen them before.

129

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you want to hop on the advanced user wagon you have to do the work.

130

You have to get your hands dirty.

131

You can't expect other people to just hand you the food right?

132

but then again I still have to stress that that method is very traditional and it's very painful to go through so honestly I don't think it's for everyone.

133

my ultimate dream is to become a polyglot.

134

that means I have a pretty burning passion for languages.

135

that's why I was able to go through it without giving up in the middle.

136

but if you are someone that's just in it for the short term like you just want to learn English

137

to look for a job or just to communicate in everyday life I'm not sure if it's

138

worth your while to go through that excruciating process but if you want to do it

139

you can always do it it just takes a lot of drive to to get to the end and there's a high chance that you will give up in the middle just because you don't have the passion for languages.

140

So I'm the type that doesn't want to force my opinions on other people.

141

If you want to listen then listen.

142

If not then just go.

143

I don't want to argue.

144

So telling you to cram vocabulary my way is a little hard for me because I feel like if you

145

decide to do it I have to take responsibility for you which I really don't want to because you're also an adult and I have my life to live as well.

146

I don't want to be held responsible for somebody's else's life.

147

But I'm still a busybody so I still want to find a way to help you learn vocabulary a little more intuitively and comfortably.

148

That's why I've been trying to build my own website to share my knowledge with you guys.

149

Especially the things that would be hard for you to to find the meanings on your own, to get the connotation,

150

the subtlety in the meaning by yourself at your current level i guess some of you already know

151

the website is called hannaslexus.com and on that website i shared my knowledge in the form

152

of flashcards so my idea is to link the english phrases with their counterparts in vietnamese and the way i present the flashcards

153

is also a little different so i I would present a Vietnamese phrase and then I'll try to tell you how the Americans say that idea in English naturally in everyday life, even in a fancy way if possible.

154

I don't believe in forcing you guys to learn everything from English to Vietnamese because English is not your first language.

155

It doesn't register in your head the way Vietnamese does.

156

So it's better for you to think of the Vietnamese phrases that you want to use in certain contexts first and then be able to link those Vietnamese phrases with the English phrases.

157

Make the bridge between the two languages.

158

And one special thing about the flashcards that I created for you guys is that they have the grammar to help you understand more deeply how to use those phrases.

159

And I think that I did a pretty good job in making sure that the two phrases in two languages have very close,

160

subtle meanings so that you don't face any social embarrassment because you're using some phrases the wrong way.

161

Yeah, so basically that's what I'm trying to do these days, but I've been caught up in a lot of other things That's why I haven't been able to publish the second version of the website.

162

Honestly, that's my main goal

163

Having a YouTube channel is just to promote my website because I honestly want to create a Playground

164

for other people to go in and learn very cool very hip phrases That are actually used in everyday life

165

Well, I guess a lot of people could think that why don't they just go on the English websites and then try to learn their phrases instead of waiting for me to create the flashcards for them.

166

I guess they could do that too but the advantage of having me creating the flashcards is that I

167

have good proficiency in both languages and I do think that I have a knack for understanding these subtleties in languages.

168

So I could tell you that hey, if you want to say something like 狗水 in English,

169

you could use something like perpetuate because they bear very similar meanings and they are used in very similar contexts.

170

Or if you want to say that you haven't prepared for an exam and you're just gonna go in and

171

do the exam so something like then then in English the same could be said by using something like wing

172

it I haven't studied for the exam so I'm just gonna wing it it basically has the same meaning yeah so

173

that's how I would like to share my knowledge with you guys by creating that website and uploading more content more flashcards onto the website that would contain like English and Vietnamese phrases in that way.

174

I think that would be more intuitive and it would allow people at the

175

intermediate level to understand and absorb phrases from a higher more advanced level as

176

well because I've already done the hard work of collecting the information and explaining it in a way that you guys could understand.

177

So basically to sum up you have two ways of learning vocabulary the first way is to cram vocabulary painfully like I

178

did 10 years ago and the second way is to cut away from me to be done with the website and I'll start

179

uploading the flashcards again I guess there's a third way as well that is trying to combine the two ways so

180

first you would go online or you would try to create your own list of flashcards and then import those into onki

181

and just try to cram them every day until you memorize them in the meantime i'll be done creating my flashcard website

182

and then i'll start uploading the flashcards again and then you could you know learn from me as well because what i have

183

to share is not something that you could easily find on the internet yeah that's pretty much it if you like this video then hit like and subscribe and I'll see you again soon bye

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
