In today's English lesson, you are going to practice the number one technique to help you with your English speaking skills.

What's that?

Well, it's pretty simple.

I'm going to say a commonly used English phrase and you are going to repeat out loud after me.

This type of repetition practice or shadowing practice is an excellent way to grow your vocabulary,

your grammar skills, your speaking skills, and your pronunciation skills.

So let's do it.

If you're new here, hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

Many of you have told me that you love these bonus speaking practices, so I have continued to include them.

It is my gift to you so

that you can actually go out into the real world and use everything that you're about to learn today.

How today's lesson is going to work is I'm going to say a complete, full, wonderful sentence, and then I will pause.

I want you to speak out loud during that pause.

It is essential for you to not only hear your own voice, but to use the same type of intonation,

the same vocabulary, and the same structure that I'm using in the sentence.

Today's topic is a really common one.

It is hobbies and activities.

So all of our sentences are going to answer this question, what are you into?

This is a great way to ask someone, what are your hobbies?

But this question is a lot more natural.

So let's start by practicing this sentence and I want you to listen to the intonation in my voice, that rhythm and flow.

Are you ready?

What are you into?

Notice the pronunciation here.

What are you?

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।
