Hello everyone and welcome back to another shadowing practice.
0:00.10 – 0:03.68 (3.6s)
2
If you're new here, welcome.
0:03.68 – 0:06.06 (2.4s)
3
My name is Claire and I am a native speaker from the U.S.
0:06.36 – 0:10.90 (4.5s)
4
but I am also an English teacher and a professionally trained singer.
0:10.90 – 0:16.72 (5.8s)
5
So a big focus here on my channel is pronunciation and shadowing practices.
0:16.72 – 0:24.14 (7.4s)
6
So if you like this video, there's more where that came from in my shadowing practice playlist, which I'll link here for you to go check out.
0:24.14 – 0:34.64 (10.5s)
7
The purpose of these videos is to practice your pronunciation specifically in American English as that's the accent I have.
0:34.32 – 0:43.76 (9.4s)
8
But it's not just about getting rid of any accent you may have, but just feeling more confident in your speaking skills and honing your pronunciation of words and phrases, which includes your overall tone and inflection and word stress so that you can be understood when you speak English.
0:43.92 – 1:10.70 (26.8s)
9
So if that all sounds good to you, then let's jump right in and begin our shadowing practice.
1:10.56 – 1:18.78 (8.2s)
10
So the format is to repeat after me and I will point out any specific pronunciations or intonations that I think would be good for you as an English learner to focus on.
1:18.58 – 1:33.28 (14.7s)
11
And then you'll have the opportunity to shadow the sentences.
1:32.86 – 1:36.92 (4.1s)
12
So that's saying it with me.
1:36.88 – 1:39.00 (2.1s)
13
So first repeat, and then we'll shadow.
1:38.54 – 1:42.20 (3.7s)
14
And for this shadowing practice, I thought we could focus on contractions, specifically contractions with the word will.
1:42.00 – 1:52.48 (10.5s)
15
for that I am going to use the future conditional.
1:53.06 – 1:57.54 (4.5s)
16
If you want to learn more about the conditionals in English, I will also link the video that I did on that here, but we'll practice talking in the future conditionals and practice contracting pronouns with the verb will.
1:57.54 – 2:16.24 (18.7s)
17
Okay, let's get started.
2:16.48 – 2:17.86 (1.4s)
18
This weekend, my friends and I are planning to hang out.
2:17.86 – 2:23.42 (5.6s)
19
You repeat.
2:23.42 – 2:24.78 (1.4s)
20
This weekend.
2:31.46 – 2:32.40 (0.9s)
21
This weekend.
2:32.40 – 2:35.24 (2.8s)
22
my friends and I, my friends and I, so we can really link those words together, my friends and I, so we can almost think of the word and just becoming an nn sound.
2:37.92 – 2:56.86 (18.9s)
23
My friends and I, My friends and I are planning to hang out.
2:56.86 – 3:05.44 (8.6s)
24
If it's sunny, if it's sunny, we'll meet at the park around noon.
3:12.38 – 3:22.22 (9.8s)
25
Wool meat.
3:27.82 – 3:28.72 (0.9s)
26
So here we have our first contraction with will.
3:28.72 – 3:33.67 (5.0s)
27
So if it's not in a contraction, this would be we will meet.
3:33.67 – 3:38.95 (5.3s)
28
But we often contract the word will with the pronoun.
3:38.95 – 3:45.25 (6.3s)
29
So we say will, will.
3:44.91 – 3:48.33 (3.4s)
30
And a lot of people might say we'll, we'll meet at the park.
3:48.33 – 3:56.11 (7.8s)
31
But many native speakers will pronounce this word as a schwa sound, this uh sound.
3:56.11 – 4:05.53 (9.4s)
32
We'll meet, we'll meet.
4:05.53 – 4:08.75 (3.2s)
33
We'll meet at the park around noon.
4:10.45 – 4:13.01 (2.6s)
34
If I get there early.
4:18.47 – 4:20.03 (1.6s)
35
If I get there early.
4:20.03 – 4:24.71 (4.7s)
36
I'll be sure.
4:24.71 – 4:30.17 (5.5s)
37
I'll be sure.
4:30.17 – 4:32.29 (2.1s)
38
Here we have the words I will contracted to become all.
4:32.29 – 4:39.25 (7.0s)
39
All.
4:39.25 – 4:40.59 (1.3s)
40
Again, the word I does not need to be fully pronounced to be I'll, I'll be.
4:40.59 – 4:50.13 (9.5s)
41
You might have learned that pronunciation and it's not wrong, but in rapid speech, it's often I'll, I'll be, I'll be sure, I'll be sure.
4:50.13 – 5:02.19 (12.1s)
42
So it's this schwa sound again.
5:02.19 – 5:06.17 (4.0s)
43
I'll be sure.
5:06.31 – 5:08.79 (2.5s)
44
Of course, I'll be sure is also correct.
5:08.79 – 5:12.43 (3.6s)
45
I'll be sure a little bit faster.
5:12.43 – 5:15.27 (2.8s)
46
I'll be sure.
5:15.75 – 5:16.63 (0.9s)
47
I'll be sure.
5:16.63 – 5:18.41 (1.8s)
48
I'll be sure to grab a good spot by the trees.
5:18.41 – 5:24.85 (6.4s)
49
I'll be sure to grab a good spot by the trees.
5:31.75 – 5:35.53 (3.8s)
50
If Sam comes...
5:41.25 – 5:43.11 (1.9s)
51
If Sam comes...
5:45.61 – 5:48.29 (2.7s)
52
He'll bring his guitar.
5:51.17 – 5:53.31 (2.1s)
53
He'll bring, he'll bring, not he'll bring.
5:55.59 – 6:01.31 (5.7s)
54
We don't generally pronounce this contraction, which is he will as he'll, but we say he'll, he'll, like a short I sound.
6:00.87 – 6:13.55 (12.7s)
55
He'll bring his guitar.
6:14.69 – 6:15.85 (1.2s)
56
He'll bring his guitar.
6:19.35 – 6:21.11 (1.8s)
57
and if Olivia comes, and if Olivia comes, she'll bring, here we have she will contracted to become shall, shall.
6:25.09 – 6:45.99 (20.9s)
58
The schwa sound again, shul and then we just have the L sound at the end.
6:45.99 – 6:52.95 (7.0s)
59
She'll bring, she'll bring snacks because she always does.
6:53.85 – 7:01.05 (7.2s)
60
She'll bring snacks because she always does.
7:06.51 – 7:09.39 (2.9s)
61
and of course cuz is a shortened way to say because but many native speakers will leave off the b of because and just say cuz.
7:14.03 – 7:25.27 (11.2s)
62
Now if you struggle with the l sound in these will contractions then I would suggest not having the L sound too far back in the back of your throat.
7:25.27 – 7:39.61 (14.3s)
63
We don't want it to be too dark because in American English we do have very dark L's in most words especially if the L comes at the end of the word we pronounce it very far back in the throat but if that is difficult for you, don't place the L at the back of the throat on purpose.
7:39.61 – 8:02.25 (22.6s)
64
So you don't necessarily need to pronounce it shul, shul, really far back, but keep it nice and forward and light.
8:02.25 – 8:12.39 (10.1s)
65
Shul, shul.
8:12.73 – 8:14.13 (1.4s)
66
And I can definitely understand what you're saying.
8:14.13 – 8:17.91 (3.8s)
67
Shul brings snacks.
8:17.91 – 8:19.49 (1.6s)
68
Shul brings snacks.
8:19.49 – 8:21.23 (1.7s)
69
I would say if you're struggling with the L, pronounce it more forward, shill, the tip of the tongue touching your top front teeth, shill.
8:21.23 – 8:33.87 (12.6s)
70
Pronounce it like that at first and once you sort of get the hang of it and it naturally may darken over time, shill, shill, then that's also fine and how a lot of native speakers in American English speak.
8:33.87 – 8:50.11 (16.2s)
71
If it rains, if it rains, we won't go to the park.
8:50.11 – 8:58.65 (8.5s)
72
Here we have the contraction for will not, which becomes won't.
9:02.65 – 9:08.67 (6.0s)
73
Or of course, we usually stop the T at the end of this word.
9:08.67 – 9:14.67 (6.0s)
74
Won't.
9:14.67 – 9:15.47 (0.8s)
75
Won't.
9:15.47 – 9:17.17 (1.7s)
76
We won't go to the park.
9:17.17 – 9:20.73 (3.6s)
77
And they'll probably all come to my place.
9:24.33 – 9:27.35 (3.0s)
78
Here we have the contraction for they will.
9:31.25 – 9:34.03 (2.8s)
79
They'll.
9:34.03 – 9:35.25 (1.2s)
80
They'll.
9:35.25 – 9:36.57 (1.3s)
81
And they'll probably all come to my place.
9:38.19 – 9:41.51 (3.3s)
82
I'm looking forward to seeing my friends this weekend either way.
9:48.23 – 9:54.89 (6.7s)
83
In this sentence, I'll just point out that the word to is often pronounced to in rapid speech.
10:01.17 – 10:10.23 (9.1s)
84
I'm looking forward to seeing, to seeing.
10:10.65 – 10:14.63 (4.0s)
85
I'm looking forward to seeing my friends this weekend either way.
10:15.03 – 10:21.00 (6.0s)
86
Okay, now we will shadow the whole thing together.
10:29.18 – 10:33.40 (4.2s)
87
So this time you're going to say it with me.
10:33.40 – 10:37.44 (4.0s)
88
I won't stop until the end.
10:37.68 – 10:39.66 (2.0s)
89
And you may want to repeat this part of the video several times to really become used to the pronunciation and how you form the words with your mouth.
10:39.98 – 10:53.46 (13.5s)
90
So repeat it as many times as you like until you feel comfortable with the pronunciation, the intonation, the inflection.
10:53.00 – 11:03.28 (10.3s)
91
So try to match me as best you can as we read this together.
11:03.26 – 11:08.86 (5.6s)
92
Okay, here we go.
11:09.68 – 11:10.86 (1.2s)
93
This weekend, my friends and I are planning to hang out.
11:12.10 – 11:16.84 (4.7s)
94
If it's sunny, we'll meet at the park around noon.
11:17.48 – 11:21.84 (4.4s)
95
If I get there early, I'll be sure to grab a good spot by the trees.
11:22.96 – 11:30.48 (7.5s)
96
If Sam comes, he'll bring his guitar.
11:31.50 – 11:35.28 (3.8s)
97
And if Olivia comes, she'll bring snacks because she always does.
11:36.10 – 11:41.96 (5.9s)
98
If it rains, we won't go to the park.
11:44.14 – 11:47.94 (3.8s)
99
And they'll probably all come to my place.
11:48.14 – 11:51.90 (3.8s)
100
I'm looking forward to seeing my friends this weekend either way.
11:53.34 – 11:58.86 (5.5s)
101
Okay guys, so repeat the shadowing section as many times as you like.
12:01.12 – 12:06.46 (5.3s)
102
Go back and if you still have questions, you can repeat individual phrases after me as many times as you like as well.
12:06.74 – 12:16.02 (9.3s)
103
I really hope this video was helpful.
12:15.88 – 12:19.26 (3.4s)
104
Specifically pronouncing contractions with the word will.
12:19.34 – 12:23.28 (3.9s)
105
Let me know in the comments if you have any specific words or tenses or concepts that you want to focus on in an upcoming shadowing practice.
12:23.64 – 12:36.04 (12.4s)
106
I do read all the comments and I have made a list because there's many more shadowing practices to come.
12:35.64 – 12:43.62 (8.0s)
107
So I will be sure to cover as many of the words or topics that you would like me to in these videos.
12:43.56 – 12:50.82 (7.3s)
108

Informazioni su questa lezione

In questo video, Claire offre una pratica di shadowing focalizzata sulla pronuncia americana e sull'uso del condizionale futuro. Gli studenti saranno guidati attraverso frasi tipiche che utilizzano contractions (forme contratte), come “we'll” e “I'll”, per migliorare la loro fluenza in inglese. Questa lezione è ideale per chi desidera perfezionare la pronuncia e sentirsi più sicuro nel parlato, elementi fondamentali non solo per l'uso quotidiano dell'inglese ma anche per il IELTS speaking. I concetti trattati includono l’importanza del tono, dell’intonazione e dell'accento, permettendo agli studenti di adattare il loro modo di comunicare in diversi contesti.

Consigli pratici per questo video

Per ottenere il massimo dalla tecnica di shadowing presentata in questo video, è importante concentrarsi sulla velocità di parola. Iniziate a ripetere a un ritmo più lento e, una volta che vi sentite sicuri, aumentate gradualmente la velocità per raggiungere quella dei madrelingua. Focalizzatevi anche sulle intonazioni, cercando di imitare il modo in cui Claire pronuncia le parole. Notate le consonanti finali e le eventuali schwa sounds, come in "we'll", dove la pronuncia può variare a seconda della velocità e del contesto. Per migliorare la vostra pratica di pronuncia, non esitate a ripetere le frasi più volte fino a raggiungere una buona chiarezza e fluidità. Questo esercizio è molto utile anche per chi sta preparando il IELTS, poiché vi aiuterà a sentirvi a vostro agio nel parlare di argomenti futuri e a esprimere pensieri e piani.

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.

Come praticare efficacemente su ShadowingEnglish

  1. Scegli il tuo video: Scegli un video di YouTube con un discorso chiaro e naturale in inglese. TED Talks, BBC News, scene di film, podcast o risposte campione IELTS funzionano benissimo. Incolla l'URL nella barra di ricerca. Inizia con video più brevi (meno di 5 minuti) e contenuti che trovi realmente interessanti — la motivazione è importante.
  2. Ascolta prima, comprendi il contesto: Al primo ascolto, mantieni la velocità a 1x e ascolta solo. Non cercare ancora di ripetere. Concentrati sulla comprensione del significato, sull'acquisizione di nuovo vocabolario e sull'osservazione di come il parlante enfatizza le parole, collega i suoni e fa le pause.
  3. Imposta la modalità Shadowing:
    • Modalità Attesa: Scegli +3s o +5s — dopo che ogni frase è stata riprodotta, il video si mette automaticamente in pausa, così hai tempo per ripetere ad alta voce. Scegli Manuale se vuoi avere il pieno controllo e premi Avanti tu stesso dopo ogni ripetizione.
    • Sincronizzazione Sub: I sottotitoli di YouTube a volte appaiono leggermente in anticipo o in ritardo rispetto all'audio. Usa ±100ms per allinearli perfettamente e poter seguire accuratamente.
  4. Ombreggia ad alta voce (la pratica centrale): Qui è dove si svolge il vero lavoro. Non appena viene riprodotta una frase — o durante la pausa — ripetila ad alta voce, in modo chiaro e sicuro. Non limitarti a pronunciare le parole: rispecchia il ritmo, l'accento, il tono e il discorso connesso del parlante. Mira a sembrare un'ombra del parlante, non solo una recitazione parola per parola. Usa la funzione Ripeti per allenare la stessa frase più volte fino a quando non ti sembra naturale.
  5. Aumenta la sfida: Una volta che un passaggio si sente confortevole, spingi i tuoi limiti. Aumenta la velocità a <code>1.25x</code> o persino <code>1.5x</code> per allenare riflessi linguistici ad alta velocità. Oppure imposta la Modalità Attesa su <code>Off</code> per uno shadowing continuo — la modalità più avanzata e gratificante. Una pratica costante giornaliera di 15–30 minuti produrrà risultati evidenti in poche settimane.
