शैडोइंग अभ्यास: used to's - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें
Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson
The speaker keeps coming back to these words: mine, die, weight. This video has 17 sentences and 279 words to shadow. The speech runs for 3:40. The speaker talks slowly, about 76 words per minute, so there is time to copy every sound. Only 80% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English, so the vocabulary is demanding. 3 of its 17 sentences are questions, so it is good practice for question intonation and short answers.

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।
