Hey, everyone.
2
If you are tired of your practice routine, you want to find new ways to practice English and to improve your fluency and listening skills and pronunciation in English, this episode is for you.
3
Because in this episode, I'm going to talk about a few learning strategies that I have used to learn English and I'm now using to learn Spanish.
4
And I've been teaching it to my students for many, many years.
5
And I can tell you that these strategies, they work and they are fun and it's going to spice up your practice routine and it's definitely going to make it more effective.
6
If you're new to my channel, then hi, my name is Hadar.
7
I'm a non-native speaker of English.
8
So I have been through everything that you are going through right now, even if it was 20 years ago, back when internet was not as popular, I'm just saying.
9
And I want to share with you everything that I know about speaking English with clarity, confidence, and freedom.
10
I'm a speech and pronunciation coach, and I'm also a life coach teaching fluency strategies and mindset.
11
If you want to learn more with me, go to hadarshamish.com or follow me on social media for daily lessons.
12
All right, let's get started with some of the best practice strategies that I know.
13
The first one is shadowing.
14
If you've been following me for a while, you know that I'm a big fan of shadowing.
15
In fact, I have a lot of videos about shadowing, practicing shadowing with you, or teaching you how to do it effectively.
16
I have a playlist ready for you in the description so you can get started with it right away.
17
Shadowing is when you repeat someone at the same time, so it's kind of like you're echoing them, or you use the technique of pausing and repeating.
18
So you are imitating someone.
19
And when you do that, you focus on specific things that you'd like to improve.
20
Usually it's pronunciation, intonation, or just trying to speak with new words or new grammatical structures that you don't usually use.
21
It's fun because it engages you with a scene or a talk or an interview
22
or a monologue that usually is exciting and interesting and gets you to use your voice in a different way.
23
But also it allows you to say things in a way that you wouldn't normally say, using a more expressive intonation or using words that you don't usually use or paying attention to the specific sounds.
24
So shadowing is one of my favorite techniques.
25
And if you are not using it regularly for your practice, you should incorporate it starting today.
26
If you want more resources to practice shadowing effectively, you can find it in the description below.
27
The second effective strategy is transcribing speech to text.
28
But not the way you might know it that you dictate something and then it turns into a text by AI.
29
No, you need to listen to a speaker without subtitles, without even seeing the video, ideally, and just listening to someone speaking in English and then you need to write down every single thing that you hear.
30
This is excellent for comprehension and for understanding the concept of connected speech and reductions because the
31
hard part about listening is not recognizing the parts in speech that are reduced and connected and this exercise is
32
going to help you do just that also this exercise is great for understanding different accents so let's say
33
you speak with different accents from different countries you speak to British speakers and Scottish speakers and Irish speakers and American speakers speaking in different dialects in the US.
34
So if you speak with someone where you want to improve your understanding of their specific accent or dialect, this exercise is great for that.
35
So again, you need to listen to an audio of a speaker without seeing the script.
36
You can also watch a video, but ideally just listening.
37
transcribe everything that you hear and then compare it with a transcript.
38
So whatever audio you're listening to or video, make sure you also have the transcript.
39
Today you have so many AI tools that can help you extract the transcript out of every single audio that you have.
40
So you listen, you write down, and then you compare it with the transcript.
41
And then the parts that you didn't get right are the parts that you need to go back and listen to it again, hear it in a different way, now knowing what the text is,
42
and then trying to identify what was the reason that you didn't understand it.
43
Was it a specific sound that you didn't expect?
44
Was it a reduction?
45
Was it connected speech?
46
And then you want to listen to that part again and again until you hear clearly what is being said.
47
That is so incredibly effective because next time you'll hear a similar phrase,
48
brain will already be able to detect it okay so that is the second strategy super effective the third
49
strategy is to speak to yourself so many of my students tell me that they have put in a
50
lot of time into learning english and to practicing english but when it's time to speak about different subjects they feel stuck they feel like they can't express themselves freely so there are several reasons for that.
51
But one of the main reasons is that you don't have a lot of opportunities to speak about different things.
52
And to be able to build fluency and confidence, you need to speak about different things.
53
The first thing I tell my students to do is to create a 30-day routine where every day they are going to have to speak about a different topic up to three minutes.
54
So you think about a topic or maybe you give yourself a question to answer and it could be something
55
related to your day-to-day life your work your hobbies your family your beliefs your opinions about things
56
and then you quickly prepare for it and you want to talk about it for about three
57
minutes and that's it you do that every single day so all it takes is about five minutes a day and that
58
alone is going to really enhance your fluency it's a lot of fun and it requires you to think outside the box that it requires you to
59
use words that you don't usually use don't be timid by it don't be like oh i don't know if i can talk about all these things challenge yourself push yourself to find the words that you probably know but never use through talking about
60
different topics by the way i recently released an episode on how to practice impromptu speech i gave you a few
61
strategies and frameworks on how to talk about any topic without preparing so you can go back and watch that episode and use it in your daily speaking practice
62
one more thing you can do when it comes to speaking to yourself is just to walk around and And then talk about the things that you see, the things that you think, the things that you need to do.
63
So it's almost like you are taking your thoughts and you're turning them into words in English.
64
That helps you improve your vocabulary, your fluency, but also it forces you to think in English.
65
So it improves the immediacy of your speech.
66
Another strategy that you can kind of like use to level up things that you're already doing is to simply read out loud whatever it is that you're reading.
67
So probably a lot of you are reading books or reading articles or maybe reading emails at work anyway in your day-to-day life.
68
And even though it's really good for improving your passive knowledge of English, just reading English is not going to improve your fluency and your speaking abilities.
69
But if you take the time that you need to read a book or read an email and you turn it into active speaking practice,
70
for example, reading it out loud, the time that you spend reading will be leveraged or improved or elevated into a good speaking practice.
71
So here's how this works.
72
Let's say you want to read a book.
73
Say to yourself that the first page you're reading, you're going to read out loud.
74
And when you read it out loud, you are going to pay close attention to the music of your voice.
75
You're going to pay close attention to how you pronounce the R sound.
76
So think of one thing related to spoken English that you might want to improve that you can focus on while reading.
77
That way you are getting used to speaking out loud, even if it's just reading, using your voice to communicate, and focusing on one thing that you want to improve.
78
That way you are able to do one thing, which is to read, get that information, and you also elevate it and turn it into a really good speaking practice.
79
Lastly, if you want to improve your vocabulary, here is my favorite method for learning vocabulary.
80
In short, the idea is to practice words that you know, but you don't regularly use.
81
This is your passive vocabulary.
82
Words that you know, but you don't use regularly.
83
You can understand them when someone else says them, but you are less likely to use those words yourself.
84
So you want to take those words and practice them through repetition.
85
What does that mean?
86
To take one word that you want to start using more regularly.
87
And by the way, you can, you know, find what that word is while reading a text out loud or while answering the daily questions or while shadowing someone else.
88
So you can collect these words while practicing using all the other four strategies.
89
And then when you have a list of words that you want to start using more regularly, take one word, say it out loud 30 times using the correct pronunciation,
90
And then look at four, five, six different example sentences.
91
You can use ChatGPT for it or any AI assistant, writing assistant.
92
And then you want to create about five sentences of your own using that word.
93
Even though it's a lot for a single word, it is a lot more effective than just memorizing this word through an app and expecting yourself to remember it the next day, because it's not It's not how it works.
94
So, this method is super effective.
95
And if you want to learn more about how to improve your vocabulary using this method, make sure you check out all the different resources that I share with you below this video.
96
All right, that is it.

Contesto & Scenario
Se sei stanco della tua routine di pratica di conversazione in inglese, non sei solo. Molti studenti si trovano nella stessa situazione e cercano nuovi metodi per migliorare la loro fluenza, le competenze di ascolto e la pronuncia. L'autore di questo video, un insegnante di lingua con esperienza, condivide strategie pratiche che ha utilizzato per imparare l'inglese e che sta ora applicando per migliorare il suo spagnolo. Queste tecniche non solo rendono l'apprendimento più divertente, ma aumentano anche l'efficacia della tua pratica di conversazione in inglese.
Le 5 Frasi Fondamentali per la Comunicazione Quotidiana
- Shadowing: Ripeti ciò che senti, imitando l'intonazione e la pronuncia dell'oratore.
- Trascrizione di discorsi: Ascolta attentamente e scrivi tutto quello che senti senza sottotitoli.
- Parlare con te stesso: Allenati a esprimere le tue idee verbalmente per migliorare la fluidità.
- Applicare nuove parole: Usa vocaboli e strutture grammaticali che hai recentemente appreso.
- Ascolto attivo: Focalizzati sul riconoscere suoni e intonazioni particolari.
Guida Passo-Passo al Shadowing
Il shadowing in inglese è una delle tecniche più efficaci per migliorare la pronuncia e l'intonazione. Ecco come affrontare questa pratica:
- Scegli il materiale giusto: Trova un video o un audio che ti interessa, preferibilmente senza sottotitoli.
- Ascolta attivamente: Prima di provare a ripetere, ascolta attentamente per comprendere il contesto e il significato.
- Inizia a shadowing: Ripeti le frasi in tempo reale, cercando di emulare la voce e l'intonazione dell'oratore. Questo può essere fatto anche su un shadowing site per facilitare l’apprendimento.
- Controlla la tua comprensione: Dopo aver praticato, confronta le tue trascrizioni con il materiale originale. Cerca di capire eventuali errori e le ragioni dietro di essi.
- Ripeti e rivedi: Non esitare a riascoltare le parti che ti risultano difficili e ripetere finché non hai acquisito sicurezza.
Questa tecnica non solo rende la pratica di conversazione in inglese più coinvolgente, ma ti aiuta anche a sentirti più a tuo agio quando parli. Inizia oggi stesso a incorporare lo shadowing nella tua routine per imparare l'inglese con YouTube e vedrai miglioramenti significativi!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso | I've been teaching · you've been following |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are reduced · being said · will be leveraged |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have been · have put |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
