शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Stuck at B2? Do This for 90 Days - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

If you're currently at B2 and you want to move to a C2 level, I completely understand you.

I don't blame you because everyone wants to reach a C2 level.

I want you to be patient with me today.

Give me just 10 minutes because as a university professor, I've built a 90-day plan which can help you move to C2 much faster.

And please, I'll stop you right there.

Don't start complaining, okay?

I'm not going to give you 20 things to do in one day.

I'm not going to overwhelm you with a lot of information.

No. It's going to be a real routine that you can follow.

And I'm going to tell you exactly what to do in the first 30 days,

the next 30 days, and then the final 30 days because each stage serves a different purpose.

You will not be lost anymore because so many of you, they want to start a certain plan or a certain program to move faster towards C2 level,

but they are completely lost.

They don't have the right guidance they don't know the exact methods to follow in order to move faster

so they waste a lot of time.

That's why in this video you'll know exactly what to listen to, what to practice, how you can work on your speaking skills,

what kind of vocabulary exactly you'll need to build and most importantly how to track your progress,

how to know that you're actually improving and that your level is advancing.

I promise you, you don't need to study for three hours a day.

I'm not trying to scare you here.

I'm not trying to make you hate this language.

You will only need 45 minutes to one hour in order to execute this plan.

Before I give you the secret plan that nobody knows about, nobody knows about, trust me, I need you to do one thing first.

You will need to do this on day one and then again on day 90.

That's how you'll see if these 90 days actually changed your English or not.

So get your notes ready

because I'm going to tell you exactly what I would do personally if I had only 90 days.

Before we start, I need you to do something that is very important.

No further discussions, please.

Just listen.

I want you to make one recording, okay?

Take your phone and record yourself answering this question do you think artificial intelligence will improve

or damage education do you need to prepare for this question

before the recording process no absolutely not you don't need any

preparation beforehand you don't need any script to rely on don't

look up any vocabulary in the dictionary no just speak

and then save that recording as day one then just forget about it now

because we will come back to it later on day 90.

Now without further ado, let's start our actual plan.

I want you to remember three important words.

The first one is input, the second one is activation, then the third one is fluency.

One word for each month.

For the first 30 days your job is very simple listen to better english

and copy it every day spend 20 to 30 minutes listening to english

that is slightly above your current level and please listen to something you enjoy

if you like to listen to podcasts on youtube go ahead

in your situation i would highly recommend ted talks you know why

because usually these people help you learn how to explain certain ideas complex ideas sometimes

and how to develop arguments

because it's not just about everyday basic English no it's more than

that and that's what's going to allow you to move faster to see to also

if you like to listen to podcasts which is something amazing

and that I do every day as well I would highly recommend the diary of a CEO

or you can find thousands of similar podcasts on YouTube and on Spotify.

If you prefer books like me, then audiobooks are amazing as well.

You learn a lot.

You learn structured English, of course, sometimes even academic English.

There are so many websites and platforms that allow you to listen to audiobooks for free.

For example, there is this website called LibriVox.

You can find public domain books completely free.

You'll find and even classics there if you like that as well.

And you won't need any subscription whatsoever.

You can also find public domain books on this website called Project Gutenberg.

There's this option to have the text open, the written text open right in front of you while you're listening to the audiobook.

I want you to tell me right now in the comments, when you're working on your input,

that is listening, of course listening skills do you prefer youtube audiobooks

or podcasts i'm actually curious to see how you guys consume english

but the piece of advice

that i can give you at this point is you need

to choose something slightly above your comfort zone slightly above your

level okay i'm not saying you should understand nothing nothing at all no but it should challenge you definitely

And while you're listening, I need you to do one thing.

Grab your notebook, okay?

And steal three expressions from what you're listening to.

I don't care if it's an audiobook, a podcast, I don't care.

Just steal three expressions.

I'm not saying 20.

Three expressions only.

Now, let's say you collected three expressions that are slightly above your current level.

That's good.

What are you going to do next?

Now, I want you to do some shadowing.

What is shadowing?

I want you to go back to that audio exactly where you heard

that expression and I want you to repeat

and copy the tone the rhythm the pronunciation

that you hear I'm going to show you exactly how go

to YouTube type the diary of a CEO then you'll have plenty of videos to watch you even have

shorts I'm going to choose a short

because I don't have much time guys I'm going to choose a topic

which intrigues me

which is interesting to me not a boring one of course

i am going to choose this topic teachers pay more than

billionaires the president cannot explain why we're there there's a lot of reasons to suspect

that we're just at war

because they wanted us to be how to get us out of here trips have lost their lives

that if you are a multi-billionaire you're probably pay a lower percentage in taxes than

if you're a school teacher or a firefighter we've almost never seen There is a rise in violence, the collapse in trust.

We're in the brink of losing our democracy and we're running out of time to do something about it.

100

You see how it's done?

101

I didn't need to spend necessarily 30 minutes on shadowing per se.

102

I just wanted to listen to the accurate pronunciation of the expressions that I collected.

103

And that's exactly what I need you to do.

104

And that's all for month one.

105

That's all I need you to do nothing more listen work on your input

106

and collect three expressions and then copy them do some shadowing

107

and please don't waste 20 minutes looking for the perfect video

108

or the most interesting video just focus on one youtube channel

109

or one audiobook for one week

110

and then you can change of course the following week

111

and try to be quick in choosing the video just like how i showed you

112

because you need to make this routine very easy for you so you continue doing it

113

now we move to month two

114

and this time we're focusing on one thing now you have

115

english here it's not gonna be dormant forever you need to activate it okay

116

so we move to activating the english you've collected because again there is a difference between understanding advanced english

117

i'm sure you understand academic vocabulary sometimes i know you understand complex arguments

118

and being able to produce it that's something else

119

and i'm sure many of you understand

120

and recognize this feeling maybe you hear someone using a very advanced expression

121

and you're like i do understand this expression but when it's time for you to talk and to express yourself

122

in a very advanced manner, you go back to the basic vocabulary words again that you're

123

so familiar with and that you can't get rid of like I think bad, good, instead of detrimental, advantageous, useful.

124

Does this happen to you?

125

Let me know in the comments right now.

126

Because if it does, it doesn't mean that you need more vocabulary.

127

I know you already have

128

so many vocabulary words in your head you just need to know how to retrieve

129

that vocabulary at the right moments to resolve this problem together

130

i have thought of something you will need 10 minutes a

131

day for speaking only that's your main exercise 10 minutes is not a lot of time there are

132

so many topics out there that you can use in order to practice your speaking skills

133

and if you want me to share with you a long list of topics in the comments let me know

134

if you love artificial intelligence

135

and everything around it you can find literally thousands of topics about this thousands of questions

136

that you can answer you can also form your own questions for example will ai eventually replace certain jobs

137

and now do you remember those expressions you've been collecting before

138

in month one i want you to choose only one

139

or two expressions that you can use while speaking and

140

if you're struggling to find an expression in your notebook

141

that will fit your speech then that's okay i don't want

142

you to complicate things just go to an online dictionary

143

that i keep sharing with you guys always on instagram and on tiktok such as cambridge dictionary

144

or merriam-webster dictionary and look for advanced phrases and expressions

145

and trust me you'll find plenty of them on these websites

146

at this stage we're not looking at vocabulary words per se

147

no we're looking at chunks also remember we're not just collecting

148

these expressions in a passive way no we need to use them

149

so that is the whole point of month two we're talking about english

150

that is sitting there somewhere in your brain

151

and how to activate it only 10 minutes a day and

152

if 10 minutes feels difficult

153

or overwhelming at first i completely understand i'm not going to force you start with five minutes it's also good

154

because the goal is activation here the important thing is to speak regularly

155

and constantly and stick to this every single day Now we reach the final 30 days.

156

I promise this video is ending soon.

157

At this point, you spend one month collecting English, working on your input, and another month activating English and producing it.

158

So every day, choose a random question and speak for five minutes.

159

The question doesn't necessarily have to be complex or difficult.

160

It should be easy at this point.

161

For example, would you rather work or finish your studies?

162

Then press record.

163

And there is one rule here.

164

I don't want you to stop.

165

Just speak.

166

If you forget a word, don't panic.

167

Just find another alternative or another way of expressing that.

168

If you make one grammar mistake, just continue.

169

We don't care.

170

If you start a sentence and you don't know how to finish it anymore, it's okay.

171

Just find another way.

172

For example, I'm speaking for five minutes, then all of a sudden I forget the word bookshelf what

173

am i going to do in this situation i'm just going to find a solution an alternative

174

and keep speaking i can just say you know the piece of furniture where you keep all the books

175

and just continue speaking

176

because that's real fluency fluent speakers again forget words all the time sometimes they change sentences made arguments

177

and sometimes they realize there is a better way an even better way to explain what they're explaining

178

so they find other words they find other expressions to articulate

179

that the whole purpose is that communication continues

180

and that's what we're training in month three now you'll tell

181

me dr ima i don't have anybody i'm alone i don't

182

have anybody to speak with i'm going to tell you use

183

ai yes i said it use ai you can literally use

184

this to your own advantage you can choose an ai voice

185

assistant you can tell it ai tell it let's have a

186

10 minute conversation about a certain topic let's say social media

187

or fashion i don't know what you choose i don't really

188

care just tell it to ask follow-up questions to disagree with you whenever she

189

or he or it deems necessary and to correct the most important mistakes

190

that you made not all the mistakes just the most important

191

mistakes at the end not in the middle at the end and then actually have the conversation.

192

Now some people will come at me

193

because they don't like the idea of using artificial intelligence in language learning

194

and i do understand part of this criticism even ai can make mistakes we all know

195

that but it depends first

196

and foremost on how you use it i'm saying it you only use it for practice do you realize

197

that there are so many people out there who really want to practice their speaking skills

198

but there's nobody to practice English with, not gonna lie, I do see it as incredibly useful.

199

Just one piece of advice when it comes to that, don't treat every single correction as the absolute truth because AI at the end of the day always makes mistakes.

200

Look at it as a speaking partner only.

201

I'm actually curious about this one.

202

Do you sometimes use AI to practice English or not?

203

And tell me whether it has helped you improve your speaking skills a little bit

204

or do you always prefer real people and real human interaction

205

so remember month three is all about challenging yourself leaving your comfort zone removing the safety nets

206

because you'll have to speak for five minutes continuously without preparation without the dictionary without stopping

207

and that's real fluency oh my gosh we're at day 90 now do you remember that recording

208

that you did on day one don't watch it yet no

209

i want you to answer the same question you answered on

210

day one on day 90 it was do you think

211

that artificial intelligence will improve

212

or damage education answer the same exact question again for three

213

minutes no preparation nothing then watch both recordings day one

214

and day 90 don't obsess over your accent no that's not

215

what we need right now listen to your english are there

216

fewer pauses can you develop your ideas more easily are you using more precise expressions

217

when you forget a word can you continue do your sentences

218

come out naturally that's what i want you to prepare

219

because sometimes we study english for several months

220

but we see no progress why because we don't know how to track this progress

221

but now that you have these two recordings answering the same question you can easily spot if there are fewer mistakes

222

or more development when it comes to your arguments and you know

223

if you actually made progress

224

or not now can you really reach c2 in 90 days i can't promise that each

225

and every one of you will reach a c2 level after

226

90 days c2 is a very high level not gonna lie to you

227

and each learner learns differently

228

and at different speed the question is can 90 days of focused practice move your English significantly to that level?

229

Absolutely.

230

Especially if you combine both inputs and outputs.

231

If you know eventually how to activate that English in your head and how to produce it, not just consume it.

232

That's the whole philosophy behind this plan.

233

If you forgot everything I've said in this video, I'm going to repeat myself in 30 seconds.

234

Month one, input.

235

Listen to slightly more advanced English, TED Talks, audiobooks, podcasts, and choose three expressions to collect and copy them.

236

Month two, activation.

237

Speak for 10 minutes a day.

238

Use the expressions you've collected in month one.

239

If you need more phrases or expressions, you can use a learner's dictionary like Cambridge Dictionary.

240

Month three, fluency.

241

Speak for five to 10 minutes a day without preparation.

242

Practice alone with another person or with AI.

243

Answer one question.

244

Don't rely on the dictionary.

245

And if you forget a word, just continue.

246

That's it.

247

Input, activation, fluency

248

and you don't even need an hour every day what matters

249

much more is doing it consistently for 90 days now i want to know who's actually starting this plan

250

and who's serious and who's not so go to the comments

251

and write your current level plus day one

252

and this brings me to the end of this video i really enjoyed talking to you guys thank you

253

so much for always listening to me and for the support

254

that you give me and that's why i ask you constantly to write some comments

255

because i really really love to know more about your perspective

256

and what you guys do exactly to practice your english

257

and that's what motivates me to make more videos

258

because it's not easy you know

259

but i just love to do it for you guys

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।
