Hi everyone, welcome to another Shadowing Practice Session.

I'm Claire, an English teacher and native speaker from the U.S.

The purpose of these videos is to practice your pronunciation

and overall fluency of the English language with a focus on the American pronunciation.

For this session, I'm going to read an email or could be a voicemail that one coworker might send to another.

So within the text, you'll hear common idioms or terms of phrases

that are really frequently used in the context of an American workplace.

So if you live or work in the US, this video is not only going to be really helpful to work on your pronunciation

and accent so that you are easily understood, but you will also learn some idioms and phrases

that are very common in the workplace and in everyday life in the States.

If you like the format of this video, I have a shadowing practice series, which I will link here.

So go and check those out.

And if you haven't already, please subscribe to my channel and like this video, share it with a friend who's also learning English.

It's the best way to support what I do here.

If you want to support me in a slightly bigger way,

then check out becoming a member on my channel by clicking the join button below.

All right, let's begin our shadowing practice for today.

So first, I'm just going to read through this voicemail or text, and then afterwards, I'll go over some specifics for pronunciation,

as well as go over some of these idioms and phrases

that I use so that you can feel comfortable and confident using them yourself.

Okay, so I'm going be reading the text over here on my computer and follow along as I read.

Hey Alex, it's Claire.

Just wanted to check in real quick about the report.

We're in good shape, but if anything's still up in the air, let me know and I'll take a look before we send it off.

I just got off a call with Brian and he flagged a couple of last minute tweaks.

Nothing major, but I'll loop you in on his email so you've got it.

And just a heads up, I'm going to be out of the office tomorrow.

If anything urgent comes up, shoot me a message and I'll do my best to get back to you.

Otherwise, I'll hit the ground running first thing Monday.

All right, I won't keep you.

Just wanted to give you a quick update.

Talk soon.

All right, now let's go back to the beginning of our voicemail

and I'm going to point out some places where I want you to pay attention to my pronunciation in my accent.

So we have, hey Alex, it's Claire.

It's Claire.

Okay?

It doesn't have to be overly pronounced T-S.

It's Claire.

But just whatever your name is, just sort of smooth it together with it.

It's Claire.

Okay.

Just wanted to check in about the report.

Again, I mentioned in previous shadowing video,

when we have the T at the end or in the middle of a word in the American accent, we often do not pronounce them.

Just wanted.

Not just wanted, right?

Get rid of the T's.

Just wanted.

Okay, repeat the whole phrase with me.

Just wanted to check in real quick about the report.

Did you notice any other T's that I didn't pronounce? About.

Report.

not about

and report drop the t's about report just wanted

to check in about the report okay moving on we're in good shape

but if anything's still up in the air let me know and I'll take a look before we send it off.

Okay, here instead of let me know, we can squish them all together.

Let me know.

That's a great one to have because in the workplace, you're going to tell people to let you know something all the time.

Let's say that one together.

The whole sentence.

We're in good shape, but if anything's still up in the air, let me know and I'll take a look before we send it off.

Send it off, not send it off, right?

That's when we individually learn the pronunciation of words.

That's how we'll learn it.

But in these shadowing practices, we can take them in chunks, in a phrase.

Send it off.

I just got off a call with Brian and he flagged a couple of last minute tweaks.

So again, we have the T dropped in just,

I just got off, but also the T at the end of got is more of a D sound, got off, got off.

And usually if we have a vowel followed by the T,

you have this kind of D sound.

I just got off.

So instead of dropping it completely, it's softer.

I just got off a call with Brian and he flagged a couple of last minute tweaks.

A couple of.

Say that three words together as a phrase.

A couple of.

Sometimes you might not even hear that sound at the end of of just a couple of,

a couple of, a couple of last minute tweaks.

Nothing major, but I'll loop you in on his email, so you've got it.

Say that one with me.

Nothing major, but I'll loop you in on his email, so you've got it.

And just a heads up, I'm going to be out of the office tomorrow.

Okay, here we have a lot of squished together words.

I'm gonna be.

Not I'm going to be.

Not overly pronounced, but I'm gonna be.

I'm gonna be.

Out of the office.

100

Squish out of together to make out of.

101

Out of the office.

102

Okay, let's say the whole thing together.

103

And just a heads up, I'm gonna be out of the office tomorrow.

104

If anything urgent comes up, shoot me a message and I'll do my best to get back to you.

105

If anything urgent comes up, shoot me a message and I'll do my best to get back to you.

106

Otherwise, I'll hit the ground running first thing Monday.

107

first thing the s t does not have to be very

108

well pronounced first thing right we can kind of squish all

109

of those sounds together first thing first thing it's basically the

110

drop the t rule drop the T at the at the on the end of first

111

and thing make sure that's unvoiced thing that one's a tricky one

112

if you don't have this sound in your native language okay

113

last phrase all right I won't keep you just wanted to

114

give you a quick update talk soon all right I won't won't drop the T keep you

115

So just wanted to give you a quick update.

116

Talk soon.

117

Okay, so now let's go over some of these phrases that native speakers use super often that I used in this voicemail.

118

First, we have check in real quick.

119

It's a casual way to say you want to briefly follow up something.

120

To check in just means to see how things are going.

121

And this phrase, real quick, implies you're not going to take up a lot of this person's time.

122

It's pretty polite to add that so that you maintain a casual tone.

123

And it just means that you want to quickly follow up.

124

To be in good shape.

125

In this context, talking about a report at work to say we're in good shape, it means everything's going well or it's nearly complete.

126

Up in the air, it means something is undecided or uncertain.

127

To take a look means to review or check something.

128

A very casual way to say you'll review Yeah, I'll take a look.

129

To get off a call with someone.

130

In the voicemail I say, I just got off a call with Brian.

131

And it means I recently finished a phone conversation with Brian.

132

To flag a couple of tweaks.

133

It means to point out a few changes.

134

Imagine when you're fiddling with, you know, a screw or something mechanical and it makes the tweak,

135

tweak sound as you're kind of making last minute adjustments.

136

We can use the same word in a workplace context.

137

To tweak a report, tweak a project means to make small changes to it it.

138

To loop someone in on an email, for example, I said in the voicemail, I'll loop you in on his email.

139

And it means I'll include you in the email or I'll update you.

140

Just a heads up.

141

It's a casual way to warn someone about something or give someone some information they'll need.

142

To hit the ground running.

143

It means to start working efficiently straight away.

144

So in the voicemail, I said, I'll hit the ground running first thing on Monday.

145

And that means because I'm out of the office tomorrow on Monday, I'll work really hard.

146

I'll hit the ground running.

147

And the final phrase I have is, I won't keep you.

148

This is a really polite way to wrap up a conversation or end a conversation.

149

If you're leaving a voicemail, at the end, you might say, all right, I won't keep you.

150

Talk soon.

151

And it just is a polite way to say, that's all I have to say.

152

I'll let you go now.

153

I'm ending the conversation.

154

All right, guys, I hope today's shadowing practice was useful to improve your pronunciation

155

and overall understanding of some of these common phrases in American English.

156

If you want to practice saying the entire voicemail again with me,

157

go back to the part in the video where I just read through it straight through without stopping

158

and see if you can say it along with me.

159

Shadowing practice works best when you can actually say it with me rather than just repeating it.

160

But if you do prefer the method to repeat after me, again, go back to when I read through the voicemail without stopping,

161

and you can pause the video after every phrase.

162

So both approaches work fine.

163

I really hope you enjoyed this video.

164

Thank you so much for watching and sticking to the end.

165

Let me know in the comments how it went for you, and I'll see you in the next one.

166

Bye for now.

इस पाठ के बारे में

इस पाठ में, आप एक मूल वक्ता के साथ shadowing का अभ्यास करेंगे। यह एक शानदार तरीका है जिससे आप अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास कर सकते हैं और अपने अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार कर सकते हैं। इस वीडियो में, आपको एक सहकर्मी द्वारा भेजी गई एक ई-मेल या वॉयसमेल का उदाहरण मिलेगा, जिसमें सामान्य अंग्रेजी मुहावरे और शब्दावली का उपयोग किया गया है, जो कि अमेरिकी कार्यस्थल में अत्यधिक प्रचलित हैं। यदि आप अमेरिका में रहते हैं या काम करते हैं, तो यह पाठ आपके लिए विशेष रूप से सहायक होगा।

मुख्य शब्दावली एवं वाक्यांश

Check in - हालात की जानकारी लेना
Up in the air - अनिश्चित स्थिति में होना
Last minute tweaks - अंतिम क्षण में बदलाव
Loop you in - आपको जानकारी देना
Shoot me a message - मुझे संदेश भेजें
Hit the ground running - तुरंत शुरू करना
Take a look - देखने के लिए लेना
Heads up - ध्यान देने के लिए सूचित करना

अभ्यास टिप्स

जब आप shadowing कर रहे हों, तो सुनिश्चित करें कि आप वक्ता की गति और स्वर को ध्यान से सुनें। इस वीडियो में, क्लेयर जो वॉयसमेल पढ़ती हैं वह लगभग स्थिर और स्पष्ट गति में है। आप निम्नलिखित सुझावों का पालन कर सकते हैं:

सामंजस्य बनाएं: शुरू में धीमे गति को अपनाएं, फिर वक्ता की रफ्तार के साथ खुद को मेल करें।
अवधारणाओं पर ध्यान दें: जब क्लेयर किसी शब्द को म्यूट करती हैं या T को कम जोर देती हैं, आप भी ऐसा करने का प्रयास करें।
ध्यान केंद्रित रखें: वीडियो को एक बार सुनने के बाद, दोबारा ध्यान से सुनें और अपनी आवाज में बोलने की कोशिश करें।
रिकॉर्ड करें: अपने आवाज को रिकॉर्ड करके सुनें, जिससे आपको अपने उच्चारण में सुधार करने में मदद मिलेगी।

इन अभ्यासों से आप न केवल अंग्रेजी बोलने का कौशल बढ़ाएंगे, बल्कि यूट्यूब से अंग्रेजी सीखें के माध्यम से दैनिक संवाद में आत्मविश्वास भी हासिल करेंगे।

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।
