शैडोइंग अभ्यास: If you want to be good at English... Don't go to school. - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

If you want to be good at English, don't go to school.

I know that's a big thing to say, but I went to school and studied Spanish for five years.

But the most useful words I ever learned, I learned them out here.

Not in the classroom, not in a textbook, out here.

Everything you can see is a word.

This is a coconut on a plate with a straw.

We're on the coastline, it's summer, and today I'm going to show you seven words that will help you sound like a native speaker.

And along the way, I'm going to show you everything around us.

So you're not just learning the words, but you're seeing them in real life.

None of this is in a textbook.

Textbooks teach you, I would like to order a coffee, please.

But here's what I would say more naturally.

Could I have one coconut coffee and one salted coffee, please?

Thank you.

So that's how to order.

But if we're talking to our friends, then we might say, shall we get a drink?

Do you fancy an iced coffee?

or let's grab a coffee.

In fact, the word grab alone deserves its own lesson.

Schools might teach you to buy, to take, to have, but grab is super common in spoken English.

For example, we grab a seat.

We grab the menu.

And now I'm going to go grab a drink.

All right, I just grabbed the two coffees and now let's learn some English using the world around us.

So this is a salted coffee in a glass and it has a straw and a spoon.

There is salted cream on top of the coffee.

In here we have the condiments, the sauces.

This is a squeezy bottle of ketchup because you can squeeze it.

This is a bottle of soy sauce and at the top this is the lid.

The lid.

A knife, a fork and a spoon are called cutlery.

These are the chopsticks.

And finally, to dab your mouth, this is a napkin.

From here in my seat, you can also see a parasol.

These are parasols that shade you from the sun.

These are sun loungers, and they are on the sand.

In the distance, that line that you can see between the ocean and the sky is called the horizon.

You can learn all of these words in a textbook but the problem is you're just reading words on a page and repeating them.

The best way to make the language stick is to hear it in context and see it at the same time.

Your visual memory is strong.

You know that this is a glass.

This is the best way to learn English.

It's immersion and it helps the words to stick.

Pop.

Pop is one of the most British verbs to exist, and you won't find it in textbooks.

It means to go somewhere quickly or casually.

Should we pop to the pool?

Nice pool.

Okay, now I'm gonna pop to the loo.

I'll see you in two.

Oh, by the way, the loo is the toilet in British English.

Now let's pop out for a walk.

Now we are taking a stroll, a gentle walk,

not a fast walk but a stroll and to my right this is a fence

these are bougainvillea which I taught in the last video and this is a coconut tree.

Now coming down from the bougainvillea.

These are called leaves.

And the cool thing about leaves...

Hey!

Get off my leaves!

Whoops.

Sorry, tree.

That is not cool, man!

Anyway, I'm bored.

Do you fancy going for a walk?

Nah, I don't really fancy it right now.

It's too hot.

Fair enough.

If someone says something and you say, fair enough, it means that I see a point, I accept it, I'm not going to argue.

We can also say fair dues or fares.

These are also very common in British English and fair enough is one of the most used two-word expressions in British English and they do not teach that in textbooks, my friends.

Okay guys, this is a wooden sign and it says Anbang Seastar Boutique.

Boutique refers to a boutique hotel which is like a small fashionable hotel that is not part of a larger chain

this is a light bulb and it's reminded me of a fun fact these plants are

called ferns and they are ancient prehistoric survivors in fact these ferns are a

hundred million years older than the dinosaurs they are 360 million years old

that's ancient i wonder if the dinosaurs ever knew what bunting was probably not but now you do this is bunting and we hang it up when we are celebrating

so i'm walking past an abandoned area an area that has been left and this is an old

motorbike it's out of use and the metal is rusty it's decaying the color of the

motorbike's body is turquoise the same color that you find in the ocean when the water is nice and light blue it's turquoise this is turquoise let's keep going jay what's the next language point

hmm this lantern is kind of blue

sort of purple and these flowers it's kind of reddish pinkish

I just used kind of, sort of and ish.

This is known as vague language and native speakers like me use it all the time.

Hey Jay, what time is it?

It's about eleven-ish.

OK, cheers.

I just said 11ish.

That means around 11.

And British people use ish all the time when it comes to telling the time.

It's 11ish, it's 12ish, it means it's around that time.

But now, my favourite way to use the word ish is...

Moreish.

This banh mi is really moreish.

In school you probably learned, oh it's delicious or it's yummy.

But a more natural way to describe that you like to eat something and you want more of it is to use the word moreish.

This banh mi is really moreish.

100

I want more of it.

101

Other things that are moorish are peanuts, crisps and chocolates.

102

It means that you want to consume more of them.

103

A drink can also be moorish.

104

Speaking of moorish...

105

Mmm, that is moorish.

106

Mmm, lovely.

107

Lovely jubbly.

108

Lovely.

109

The next and probably the most British word.

110

It's one that I use all the time.

111

The weather is lovely.

112

The coffee is lovely.

113

This pool is lovely.

114

I just met somebody yesterday and she was lovely.

115

We can use the word lovely to talk about food, weather, people, places or moments.

116

And if If you add it into your English vocabulary today, right now, then I promise you, you will sound so native.

117

Lovely jubbly.

118

Hey Jay, what's the plan for this evening?

119

Hey Peach, I reckon we should go grab some dinner and then come back home for an early night.

120

I reckon.

121

I just use the words I reckon.

122

I reckon you might not know what those mean.

123

In school, you might have learned I think.

124

But in England and in Britain, we tend to use the words I reckon.

125

And it's more casual and more of a gut feeling for what you think.

126

I reckon it will be useful.

127

Hey, Peach, what do you reckon we eat tonight?

128

Ooh, I reckon we should try that little place by the river.

129

The one with the lanterns outside?

130

Yeah, I reckon it'll be rammed though.

131

Yeah, I reckon you're right.

132

We should still try though, I reckon.

133

I reckon that's a word that will help you sound a lot more native.

134

I reckon.

135

Now, here's a test for what we learned today.

136

Can you understand this?

137

I reckon the best way to sound like a native is to speak like a native.

138

So pop over

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।
