Does this sound familiar?
2
You watch English videos, understand okay,
3
but when it's time to actually speak,
4
your sentences feel slow and awkward.
5
If so, this video is for you.
6
Today, you're going to speak a lot.
7
Not just listen and watch this video,
8
not just read subtitles, but actually practice speaking.
9
If you feel shy, if you're freezing conversations,
10
or if you understand a lot but still can't speak the way you want,
11
today is for you.
12
For the next few minutes,
13
you and I are going to speak together non-stop using a powerful technique called shadowing.
14
So before we start, let's quickly talk about what shadowing actually is.
15
Shadowing is a pronunciation and speaking technique where you speak with a speaker or or just after the speaker,
16
copying the rhythm, intonation and pronunciation as closely as you can.
17
It's not repeat after me with a long pause.
18
It's more like you become my echo.
19
I speak and you speak almost at the same time,
20
trying to match my stress, melody and speed.
21
Now why is this so powerful?
22
Because shadowing helps you with three things at once.
23
First, pronunciation.
24
Your mouth gets used to making English sounds.
25
Second, listening.
26
You train your brain to catch every detail of how people speak.
27
Third, fluency.
28
Over time, you stop translating in your head and English just flows.
29
In less than 10 to 15 minutes a day,
30
you can train your mouth,
31
your tongue, and your brain to get used to natural English without overthinking grammar or translation.
32
You focus on sound, on music,
33
on flow, and this is exactly where it makes your English sound more natural and more confident in real conversations.
34
Before we jump into the actual shadowing, quick shout out.
35

36
A few simple rules for today's practice.
37
I'm going to say each phrase twice.
38
Speak out loud, not in your head.
39
If you need more time,
40
pause the video and repeat again.
41
You don't worry about your mistakes and don't aim for perfect accent.
42
Aim for flow.
43
And remember, 5 minutes of real speaking every day is better than 1 hour once a month.
44
Ready?
45
We'll start with the simple motivating sentences.

Every time I speak English, my English gets better.

106
You did great.
107
If your mouth feels a little bit tired, this is perfect.
108
It means you're actually working those English muscles because in your language you're using different muscles.
109
So a little bit of awkwardness in your mouth is great.
110
Now a little secret about the audio you just heard before the next round.
111
Those voices and phrases you were shadowing were actually generated using Eleven Labs Creative Platform.
112
Eleven Labs Creative Platform is an AI tool
113
that lets you turn any text into natural sounding speech in different voices and accents.
114
You can create your own audios for practice,
115
choose how the voice sounds,
116
and adjust things like tone and speed in one simple interface.
117
For language learners and creators like you,
118
that means you can create custom listening and shadowing exercises with the exact topics and phrases you care about.
119
You can also hear the same text in different accents and speeds to train your ear and pronunciation.
120
You can also create a listening practice or even simple podcasts for yourself in 20 plus languages with natural sounding dubbing.
121
And if you also create content,
122
maybe you have a YouTube channel,
123
podcast, or lessons for your own students,
124
11labs creative platform can help you there too.
125
You can use it to record clear voiceovers,
126
narrate your videos or dub your content into other languages with expressive AI voices without needing a professional studio.
127
So far we've practiced with MyVoseClone,
128
but in real life you hear many different accents, right?
129
American, British, Australian and more.
130
To show you how useful that is,
131
let's try a couple of phrases in a few different accent styles.
132
just listen and train your ear or be brave and try to shadow them as well.
133
Now imagine you're listening to a come British voice.
134
Shadow these sentences with me.
135
I am building a version of myself who can travel,
136
work and make friends in English.

Repeat after me.

When I feel shy, I remember that most people are kind and curious, not judgmental.

And let's finish with a more American sounding style.

153
not just a school subject.

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、英語を話す際の流暢さを改善するための強力な技術「シャドーイング」に取り組みます。シャドーイングは、講師の発音やリズムを模倣しながら発声する練習方法で、特に文を暗記するのではなく、実際に声に出して話すことを重視します。10分程度の毎日の練習を通じて、英語の音に慣れ、自信を持って会話を行えるようになります。特に、英語を聞き取り理解するだけでなく、スムーズに話す力を養うことが目的です。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- 発音 (pronunciation) - 正しい英語の音を作ること。
- 流暢さ (fluency) - 自然に言葉が出てくる能力。
- リズム (rhythm) - 言葉の抑揚やスピードを合わせること。
- イントネーション (intonation) - 声の抑揚をつけることで表現すること。
- 自信 (confidence) - ミスを気にせず話す勇気を持つこと。
- フロー (flow) - 質問や思考を介さずにスムーズに話すこと。
練習のコツ
「shadowspeaks」のようなシャドーイング技術を活用するためには、次のポイントに注意してください：
- 声に出して話すことが大切です。頭の中で考えるのではなく、実際に音を出してください。
- 動画の速度とトーンに合わせて、リズムやイントネーションを意識しながら話すこと。
- 間違いを恐れず、完璧なアクセントを目指さずに流れるように話すことを心がけましょう。
- 必要に応じて動画を一時停止し、もう一度繰り返すことで練習を強化してください。
- 毎日5分間の実際のスピーキングが、1ヶ月に1時間の練習よりも効果的です。
YouTubeで英語学習をする中でも、この方法を使うことで、あなたの英語力を飛躍的に向上させることができます。英語シャドーイングを実践し、自然な英語でのコミュニケーションを楽しんでください。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
