Pratica di Shadowing: How I Learn Languages Fast (I speak 7+) - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
That time I recorded an entire video with the cameras on slow motion.
2
Hate myself!
3
Anyways, it's been a minute.
4
Hi everyone, I'm Jo.
5
If you clicked on this video, odds are you want to learn a new language
6
or you've abandoned a language that you love and you want to pick it back up.
7
I got you, boo.
8
I've been through this once, twice, three times, four times, five times.
9
I might be on my seventh journey.
10
I don't really keep count of much of anything.
11
I've learned many languages and I will continue to learn many languages because it's my lifestyle.
12
And in honor of my book and language learning journal Fluentish, I will be giving you my best tips,
13
tricks, and language learning hacks because I want us all to get fluentish.
14
I'm going to be talking about tons of resources.
15
I've linked a free language learning starter kit in the description box is totally free in
16
that language learning kit i'll be showing all of my resources
17
giving my honest recommendations my goal is to get people motivated about language learning
18
so that's what we're gonna do now i have created a
19
method for us not to forget it's called the on par methodology
20
and it was an acronym i couldn't resist as i was writing this script he is for part one which is Pain,
21
planning, and patience.
22
I was testing you.
23
You saw the patience I was testing you.
24
So the P is really important because a goal without a plan is just a wish.
25
It's one of my favorite quotes.
26
It's very much true for everything in life, but definitely for language learning.
27
If you're trying to do one of the most difficult tasks as a human being, learn a different language, you gotta make a plan.
28
I need to warn all of you, it's gonna take a lot longer.
29
It's gonna take so much longer
30
and the patience is not just in the obvious like oh it's gonna take time
31
but the patience is you need to have this resilient mindset
32
to move past the hurdles of trying trying trying failing failing failing falling on your face
33
and then one day two years later you finally understand everything they're saying to you that's how it works
34
and i woke up saying arabic words like
35
that i learned seven years ago like what i know i'm
36
sateleta i'm like what i have not said these words since
37
i was in egypt back in 2014 something is actually happening in my brain
38
that is reviving memories from years ago that i haven't thought of
39
and it's waking me up in the middle of the night
40
this is not a linear path it goes like this honeymoon
41
stage you're stoked you love the words you're romanticizing the language
42
you see all of this progress for yourself that's day one to like day 30 then day 31 hits
43
and all of a sudden you're like oh my god what
44
did i get myself into i'll I'll never be able to do this.
45
And then you just hit this overwhelm, this frustration, and this complete self-loathing of I'm not smart enough to do this.
46
I will never learn this language.
47
I was just in that stage two weeks ago.
48
If you're one of the rare people who can push through and persevere, which is the fourth P of part one,
49
you will then be rewarded with the other stage, which is like suddenly you understand all of Dracula without a translator.
50
And you don't even know how this happened, but I'll tell you how it happened because of the pain that we started this whole conversation with.
51
To get over the pain, you need patience and you also need a plan.
52
The planning is really easy.
53
All you got to do is carve out time in your schedule that's realistic, time that you will not avoid, whether that's doing something every day while you do your dishes, you're listening to your audio tapes,
54
or you're reading before bed, or you're texting a friend every single day in your target language.
55
You need to carve that out.
56
And of course, if you schedule lessons or actually schedule things in your calendar, it's going to be even better for you.
57
But planning is essential here.
58
In Fluentish, I actually included a whole planning section, which I'm going to show you.
59
And that's because without that accountability, without that checklist of what you need to do every day, it's going to be really hard to stay on top of it.
60
As always, with anything good, you got to know why you're doing it.
61
Why are you learning the language?
62
Make it juicy, make it deep.
63
Can't be superficial.
64
It needs to be something that could possibly change your life.
65
I'll give you an example i'm currently learning flemish
66
which is dutch spoken in the north of belgium
67
and it's a language i never in a million years thought
68
that i would learn and initially it was for my boyfriend
69
but then i was like hold up this is going to
70
give me access to dutch speaking places all over the world
71
all of a sudden i can go to the netherlands
72
and waltz around and talk to people and learn how they think
73
or I can go to Suriname and like the world is now more available to me when I learn Dutch.
74
It's not just for one thing.
75
And that's how I do it.
76
But regardless of how I do it, the main thing in this video that you're going to learn is like, it's not all about how I do it or any other polyglo.
77
You got to know how you learn, which brings me to part two.
78
Action and accountability.
79
The A in the on-par Joe Franco language learning method.
80
I hope this isn't somebody else's method
81
because I swear it's like too good too easy to do this
82
so action everything in life
83
that actually moves needs to take action you gotta take action you gotta wake up do it even
84
if you don't want to do it you gotta make it work
85
but then there's accountability which is keeping you on action for a long time it doesn't matter
86
if you study vigorously for a week
87
and then you fall off it's actually better if you study smaller chunks smaller doses and then you do it more consistently.
88
The consistency is what you need to be doing here.
89
Damn, can I squeeze a C in there somewhere for consistency?
90
Unpark consistency and community.
91
That's coming up in part two of this video.
92
We got to talk resources here
93
and I created an entire guide in the free language learning starter kit that breaks down all the resources that I recommend.
94
And this is a living, breathing document.
95
I add resources to this list when I find new ones.
96
The thing that I outline in that resource document is
97
that you are going to need to know the very important question of how do you learn?
98
Doesn't matter what I do, doesn't matter what he does, doesn't matter what she does, doesn't matter what they do.
99
Are you an auditory learner?
100
Are you a visual learner?
101
Are you a kinesthetic learner?
102
You gotta get your hands and they gotta take some action.
103
Are you a reading and writing style learner?
104
Are you a verbal learner, social learner?
105
Once you've identified two out of those methods of learning, I want you to curate your learning resources based on how you learn.
106
And that's homework that you have to do i can't do it for you
107
so think back to the first thing that you learned
108
and what made it stick and then try to recreate
109
that in your language learning approach you also need input
110
which means receiving the information i used to be a big duolingo hater
111
and then i realized i was just being a hater
112
because the app has gotten significantly better now here's something
113
that i got to tell you yes it's good to do duolingo daily yes it's great
114
that i am the obsidian queen however
115
if all you ever do is stick to your crutches your
116
apps you won't go from streak 1000 to fluent doesn't matter how many days you do those apps
117
if you're not creating sentences for yourself you're not actually building a path to fluency
118
so have your apps have those games on your phone it's better than not doing something but
119
if you really want to take your language to the next
120
level you have to write your own sentences you have to say the thing
121
that you're doing out loud as you're doing it
122
so it's a combination of the resources that's going to take
123
you from flat to fluent pimsleur is one of my personal favorites it's an audio resource
124
that i have used many times while working out
125
while doing the dishes while painting my nails and its input
126
that allows you to regurgitate what the local speakers are saying one i'm a multitasker my life is busy
127
and i bet yours is too so it allows you to do things at the same time driving and learning Arabic, whatever it is, it's great for the busy people.
128
You pay a subscription fee or you could buy courses directly.
129
And I actually like that because once you put some money in the game, you put skin in the game, you're going to show up more than maybe the free apps.
130
Language Reactor, which was formerly known as Learning Language with Netflix,
131
is a Chrome extension that pimps out your Netflix and other streaming platforms to become language learning empires, basically.
132
You get double subtitles, you can slow things down.
133
It's awesome.
134
So Language Reactor is is definitely something to check out.
135
Downloading a VPN to browse different media outlets in different countries.
136
I'm watching Belgian shows because I'm basically in Belgium based on my VPN and it's stuff that I wouldn't get access to.
137
It literally is blocked if I'm logging in with my US phone.
138
But the minute that I use the VPN, I get VRT Max, which is like Belgium's public service TV.
139
I'm sorry, y'all.
140
I won't pay taxes, I swear.
141
Of course, you gotta love the streaming platforms that allow you to look up different music in different countries.
142
And a lot of these songs have the lyrics function, which I love because I turn my Spotify into karaoke.
143
I highly recommend it.
144
And it's not just the input.
145
You gotta massage the material, right?
146
So right now, I'm reading Dracula.
147
I could sit here and be like, But then I'm going to be like, damn, did I understand everything?
148
And if I didn't understand everything, I'm going to take out a translator and then I'm going to write it down.
149
So it's input and then output, which is next on this list of juicy information.
150
Damn, we just getting started.
151
Okay, let's see output.
152
Once you have the input in your brain, once you've massaged your brain, you're ready for the acupuncture.
153
What?
154
Like this analogy doesn't make any sense.
155
Output is regurgitating the information that you're learning.
156
It's taking the next step to write in a journal, right?
157
It's keeping a notepad on your computer, whether you're a typer or a writer by hand.
158
It's verbalizing these sentences.
159
It's asking questions.
160
It's then diving into conversations with locals.
161
There's italki, which is the platform where you can find affordable language tutors.
162
You also have Preply, which is a similar platform.
163
I use both, depends.
164
I have a life, like a labor.
165
Life is not labor.
166
What is life?
167
It is, yeah.
168
It is?
169
If you say I have a life, you say I have a life, yeah?
170
I have a social life.
171
Ah, I have a social life.
172
Different teachers work on different platforms.
173
You can also sign up for something like Lingoda, which are group classes that are more structured.
174
This is great for somebody who is just learning how to learn a language because it's structured for you, so it's not this awkward silence when you're working with a tutor.
175
You'll just dive in.
176
There's course material before and after the classes.
177
Lingoda is only offered in a few languages, but definitely recommend that as well.
178
Classes give you the accountability check-in that you need.
179
And so I always book a package of classes.
180
It's an investment, but an investment that I will commit to because it's an investment.
181
And again, when you learn a language, it opens so many doors to new relationships, new job opportunities, new financial abundance.
182
And so it's not just this hobby thing.
183
It could turn into a whole new life.
184
For me, it's turned into a whole new life and publishing a damn book.
185
And that wouldn't have happened had I not pushed through and persevered.
186
Then there are apps where you could talk to locals.
187
So you could use an app called HelloTalk, which is a free messaging app designed for language exchanges.
188
Tandem is similar.
189
Another resource that I just found out, thanks to one of my Joe Club members, is called Refold.
190
And it's a free resource that you sign up for.
191
And then you just get a massive amount of more free resources.
192
And for me, as somebody who's learning Flemish, which is a version of Dutch that's not popularly studied,
193
It was one of the only platforms that acknowledged the fact that when you're learning Dutch, there's going to be different dialects.
194
There's going to be different accents.
195
And that shocked me.
196
I've done this a lot.
197
And many platforms just either ignore the lesser spoken languages or just kind of glaze over them.
198
So Refold, highly recommend.
199
It is in my language learning kit that hopefully all of you will be downloading by signing up to my newsletter.
200
Let's see what else I got for y'all.
201
And of course, something I love doing is making actual friends all around the world
202
and making sure that I keep tabs on them, sending them lengthy voice notes on what to have.
203
I'm the queen of the long voice note.
204
Luckily, you can play those on 2X because my Italian stuttering ain't cute.
205
Having real connections is going to breathe life into your language learning process.
206
And it's going to remind you that learning a language is for human connection it's for empathy, it's for emotional intelligence, it's just for this like warm
207
and cozy feeling that you want to get with more people around the world.
208
That's why I learn languages.
209
It's for those small but meaningful moments with strangers around the world that give you hope in humanity.
210
Am I intense?
211
Absolutely.
212
Do I have a good reason for it?
213
I hope so.
214
Part three of my on par method is the R's for on par.
215
Review, repetition, reward.
216
Now this part is the glue is essential.
217
You need to repeat, repeat, repeat.
218
And this is where time just does what it does.
219
If you're doing what you do, time is going to be on your side.
220
If you just stick to the goals that you started out this journey with, this is why having an accountability tracker is really important.
221
That daily habit tracker essential.
222
Joe club and fluentish.
223
This is what we're all about.
224
It's like sticking to the daily tiny nothingness that creates the everyday everythings.
225
There's this concept called the forgetting curve.
226
So here's my analogy to explain the forgetting curve.
227
When you get a seed and you plant it, if you've ever done this, you might notice that in the very few weeks, the beginning stages of the seed, you need to water it often.
228
You need to give it a lot of light, a lot of attention, even place some Bob Marley for that seed, and it'll start to sprout.
229
And as it's sprouting, you need to continue that care, very diligent care.
230
If you forget to water it one day kaput it's dead
231
but then if you continue to nurture this seedling it'll grow into a proper plant
232
and the minute
233
that it has a full mature leaf on it you won't
234
need a watered as much learning language is the exact same
235
in the beginning stages you are nurturing a seedling you need constant attention constant study constant review
236
but the longer you study the more space you'll be buying yourself
237
so that if you've been studying every day for six months and you don't remember to study one day, you're not going to forget everything.
238
But if you only study intensely for a week and then you stop studying for a day, you will forget a lot of it.
239
There's information about the forgetting curve that I highly recommend that you look up.
240
For the sake of this video, just know, in the very beginning stages, having yourself committed is essential.
241
And as you continue to learn, it's going to fossilize in your brain and you're going to be buying yourself more time.
242
For instance, Manon, je peux vous parler en français et ça va.
243
J'ai pas étudié.
244
It's just blocked in my brain because I've studied that language for many, many years, consistently.
245
It's like because I started learning Italian later in my journey,
246
so even though I can still speak it, it's clunkier than my French.
247
And that's just how it goes.
248
So the longer you stick to your habit of learning a language, the more time you'll buy for that language to retain in your head.
249
And if you fall off, don't worry, you could always get back on.
250
And it's just like riding a bike, but with your brain, which is a lot more difficult but I believe in you.
251
I have many many more tips on how to learn languages
252
that I will be sharing with you on this channel
253
and also via my newsletter so don't forget to sign up for the language kit
254
and then you'll get the newsletter and all of the good tips and tricks and whatever that I talk about there.
255
The main thing is that you got to challenge yourself and
256
if you push yourself a little tiny bit each
257
and every day for a long time one day you'll wake
258
and we'll be doing this video in a different language and it won't be because of artificial intelligence.
259
It will be your brain intelligence, your raw intelligence, our eye.
260
And now I leave you with a question.
261
Where will you be in three months time?
262
What language will we be speaking?
263
What will we be learning?
264
And I can't wait to see everybody out there on their fluentish journeys.
265
I'm the Graf Dracula, says he.
266
When I'm holding his hand, I feel that he's cold.
267
Heel cold.
268
I'm real.
269
What is this for a man, I think.
270
Dracula, he's laughing at me.
271
He's laughing at me.
272
Time to go.
273
It's Dracula!

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.
