शैडोइंग अभ्यास: If You Want to be Fluent in English....Dream in English. - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

If you want to be fluent in English, dream in English.

But how?

They say that dreaming in English is the strongest sign of fluency.

So, in today's video, I'm going to break down what it takes for you to dream in English with easy, practical exercises.

The more English your brain processes during the day,

the more it shows up at night.

So photo chit chat is an easy exercise that I like to practice

and I like to give to my students to practice to get in the habit of speaking English.

Here's how it works.

Pick any pic from your camera roll.

Then set a 30 second timer.

for 30 seconds.

The only rule is don't stop.

Here are some talking points to help you speak.

You can talk about the setting of the photo,

the character in the photo,

the colours, shapes, and textures,

and finally how the photo makes you feel.

Dive into your emotions.

What memory does the photo bring up for you?

I took this photo on a jetty,

which is like a wooden pier that juts out into the sea.

In this photo you can see Chang jumping on the right-hand side of the image.

She's wearing a white vest holding a yellow fan and wearing a light pastel yellow skirt.

The skirt is frilly and flowy.

There are some boats on the water and they are red and blue.

This photo makes me feel a sense of joy and freedom when I look at it.

When you see a street sign that you like,

snap a picture and then make a sentence using one word from that picture.

For example, a puppet is a moveable creature,

usually controlled by a human,

who we call the puppeteer.

Now the puppet can be a human,

an animal, or some kind of creature,

and it's controlled by wooden rods and it's usually on strings,

so the puppeteer moves its arms and legs.

Now, I'm going to make a sentence using the word puppet.

The master puppeteer controlled the puppet and made his arms and legs move and dance.

I'm not sure.

Believe there is good in the world.

To believe means to think something is true or to feel that something is possible.

So, my example sentence.

I believe that I can grow every day.

I believe in the power of my mind and that if I invest in my education and knowledge,

I can succeed.

If you don't have English signs where you live, then that's fine.

You can translate the signs with your phone and then do the exercise as I just showed you.

Oh and by the way,

if you haven't already, then translate your phone's language into English.

Thank me later.

Now if we want to dream in English,

what's the one thing that we need need to do every day.

Mmm.

When you're walking around, quietly narrate what you see around you.

Not translating from your language,

but just observing and expressing what you see in your English thoughts.

This looks like a vintage clothes shop.

I like the mannequins outside.

I like their wooden arms.

Hmm, that skirt's nice.

Right, moving on.

The next way to think in English is to compliment strangers.

Silently.

Look at people around you and find one genuine English compliment for them.

For example, I like this couple riding the pedicab pedicab.

They look like a beautiful couple.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

He looks like a positive guy.

He's putting his thumbs up to me.

This man who was holding a bag of plants looks peaceful and happy.

When you focus on the good in others,

you build a more positive mindset,

which often reflects back in how people treat you.

Now, I'm feeling good.

This is a beautiful I want to teach you some English using the world around me.

So, I am next to a plant,

and this plant has many green leaves.

Behind that, there is a Panasonic fan.

This is an electric fan, and it's not on.

This fan is on.

This is the sign of the cafe we are in, Namia.

Beneath it, there are some decorations.

Gold and green tinsel is hanging from the doorframe.

It looks pretty.

Over here, we have a red and cream lantern with flowers on the side.

These are Chinese characters.

The decorations inside are very aesthetic.

There are posters on the wall.

Here, the barista is taking the tea towel off the coffee machine.

A small wicker chair is sitting on a colourful tiled floor.

By the way, wicker is woven by hand,

which means someone carefully cross the pieces over and under each other.

This is a tin, or a can,

of pineapple juice with a paper straw.

Time to sip.

That's refreshing.

Now, for my next practical tip to improve your English,

it's to go to an English-speaking country and speak with a native every day.

100

Oh, but wait, that's not easy.

101

So, my friends, I have built a roleplay exercise with J.I.,

102

who is an AI version of me,

103

who can help you practice English-speaking scenarios like being in a cafe,

104

like going to a job interview,

105

or any custom roleplay scenario that you would like to speak about.

106

This is a wonderful way to practice your English and speak with a native speaker every day.

107

You can download the app or go to sproutlanguage.com and try J.I for seven days completely free.

108

The next idea is to keep a dream book,

109

which is a small notebook like this one,

110

by the side of your bed so that when you wake up you can open it and write down

111

words or sentences from your dreams.

112

Now if you can't remember your dreams you can just write any sentence or word that comes to your head.

113

Another exercise that you can practice is the what-if questions.

114

What if the sky was red?

115

What if a cat got up on its hind legs and started walking and talking?

116

Tonight we eat mice.

117

What if you could become fluent in English just in one month.

118

These what-if questions get you thinking about possibility.

119

What is possible?

120

Anything.

121

I would recommend that you carry a small notebook like this so that it can fit in your pocket wherever you go.

122

You never know when a new English word or a wonderful idea may appear.

123

You don't dream in a language you study.

124

You dream in a language that you feel.

125

The words that you learn during a funny,

126

scary or moving moment will stick in your memory better than any textbook exercise ever will.

127

You can watch comedy shows that make you laugh.

128

My personal favorite is a show called Peep Show which is a British comedy and that's perfect for advanced learners.

129

You can also watch nature documentaries on the BBC.

130

David Attenborough would be my recommendation.

131

You can listen to podcasts about topics that you love or read books about topics that you love.

132

Sorry, just got interrupted by some music there.

133

But speaking of music, you can use music that genuinely moves you.

134

My favorite band is called the Red Hot Chili Peppers,

135

and I would recommend the album Stadium Arcadium.

136

It's musically wonderful, and again,

137

you can learn from the lyrics,

138

especially if you open up Spotify on your phone and you read the lyrics as you're listening to the music.

139

Now, I am sitting on a metal bench.

140

The sun is shining, it's hot,

141

so I've got my sunglasses.

142

In England, in Britain, we call sunglasses sunnies and they are plural.

143

A pair of sunnies.

144

I'm putting my sunnies on my face.

145

A lot of my students say that they feel more confident when speaking English,

146

almost like they have a different personality.

147

Is the same true for you?

148

Pause this video now and let me know in the comments.

149

Do you feel more confident when you speak English?

150

Like you have a different language personality?

151

I'm curious.

152

I just bought this broly because it's hot.

153

And a broly is an umbrella in British English.

154

Right now I'm being patient.

155

I'm patiently waiting on this bench bench and patiently waiting to become fluent in English.

156

They say it takes around 6 to 18 months to become fluent in English,

157

however I think that you can do it in 6 if you start the habit today and practice immersing yourself in English.

158

Now if you're looking for a place to do that,

159

to practice immersing yourself in English,

160

then I built a website and an app called sproutlanguage.com which you can download,

161

link in the description.

162

It's an all-in-one place to to immerse yourself in English.

163

Thank you for watching.

164

I hope this video was useful.

165

Download Sprouts, and I will see you in the next one.

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।
