シャドーイング練習: 8.8k - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

To improve your English today, all you have to do is listen and repeat after me.

Hello my English learning friends!

Welcome back to my channel.

If you are new here, I'm Kirsty, I'm British and I teach English in France.

Today we are going to practice shadowing.

Shadowing means you listen and you repeat exactly what I say, exactly what you hear the same words

but also the same sound here's the key don't worry

if you don't understand every word in this video we are focusing on the sounds

and the flow to make you sound more natural today's phrases will cover everyday situations

so you will get extra vocabulary too i will say each slow motion.

Just listen and copy.

We will be ordering takeout, going to a medical appointment, and buying a train ticket.

Are you ready?

Let's get started.

How's it going?

Notice the contraction.

It's not "how is it going?" but "how's it going?" going.

Also, in fast spoken English, we often drop the G in words ending in -ing.

It makes our speech sound more relaxed and less like a robot.

Let's shadow one more time.

How's it going?

I'm fine, thanks. And you? So, And fine, thanks. And you?

I'm fine, thanks. And you?

Can you hear that "and you" becomes "n you" in you?

We often reduce AND to EN, NU, in casual speech.

You may have heard the English say Fish and chips.

Not fish and chips, but fish and chips.

or the Americans say mac and cheese, mac and cheese, not mac and cheese.

Let's shout out one more time.

I'm fine, thanks. And you?

Long time no see!

Long time no see.

Hey, long time no see!

What are you up to?

This is a contraction and it can be contracted even further to become what you're up to.

Both work in casual speech.

Let's shadow one more time.

What are you up to?

Guys, quick one.

If you haven't yet subscribed and you watch my videos every week, please hit the subscribe button.

It really helps me produce free content.

Now let's practice ordering takeaway food.

Listen carefully to the contractions and the rhythm, then repeat after me.

Hi, can I get a large pizza and two cokes please?

Hi, can I get a large pizza and two Cokes please?

Hi, can I get a large pizza and two cokes please?

Can I get sounds like can I get.

And yes, in polite English we say "may I have"

or slightly less polite "could I have" but in an informal dining situation like fast food many people say

can I get when they're ordering?

and that's fine just remember to always say please and thank you.

Okay, let's shadow one more time.

Hi, can I get a large pizza and two Cokes please?

Would you like anything else?

Let's try that one more time.

Okay.

Would you like anything else?

No, that's all, thanks.

No, that's all thanks.

No, that's all, thanks.

Can I pay by card?

In natural speech, can becomes can.

Can I pay by card?

Okay, your turn one more time.

Can I pay by card?

Before we move on to shadowing more phrases in part 3, make sure you download the free vocabulary mind map I have made for you.

That way you will join my email list

and I will be able to give you news about my new membership

that I will be opening in the next few weeks,

where I will be giving live shadowing masterclasses and masterclasses to help you understand fast spoken English.

be able to finally interact and talk to you live in person.

Now let's show the vocabulary you will need if you have an appointment with a dentist.

Good morning, Doctor.

Okay, so it's not good morning, okay?

It's good.

Good.

Let's try it one more time.

Good morning, Doctor.

I've got a really bad toothache.

Thank you.

can you hear got a sounds like it's all in one word in fast speech gotta got a really bad toothache.

Let's try one more time.

I've got a really bad toothache.

Well done.

It's the tooth at the back on the left side.

It's the tooth at the back. on the left side.

It's the tooth at the back.

on the left side.

I've had the pain for about three days.

Again here, the "T" at the end of "about" is sometimes dropped in natural fast speech.

100

So we hear about three days.

101

One more time.

102

I've had the pain for about three days.

103

Now let's imagine you are travelling by train in the UK.

104

Ready?

105

Hi!

106

I'd like a ticket to London, please.

107

Hi, I'd like a ticket to London, please.

108

Notice how 'I would like' becomes 'I'd like' in its contracted form that you're probably used to,

109

and how 'to London' in fast speech becomes 'to London.

110

Here we use a schwa which is the /ə / sound.

111

/ə / ticket and /t / London.

112

a ticket and to London.

113

So with this in mind, repeat after me one more time.

114

Try and imitate the schwa's.

115

Hi.

116

I'd like a ticket to London, please.

117

A return ticket please.

118

A return ticket please.

119

For those of you who don't know, a return ticket is a two -way ticket, so to London and back.

120

Let's practice one more time.

121

Yes.

122

A return ticket please.

123

Is this the platform for the train to Liverpool?

124

Is this the platform for the train to Liverpool?

125

Notice that we have the /t / sound again.

126

/t / Liverpool.

127

Let's try that one more time.

128

Is this the platform for the train to Liverpool?

129

Great job, everyone.

130

You have just improved your spoken English.

131

Remember, shadowing is about repetition and rhythm.

132

Make sure you copy what you hear, the sounds that you hear.

133

The more you copy, the more natural you will sound.

134

Let me know in the comments below if shadowing is easy for you.

135

Also, let me know if this type of video helps you.

136

If I get thousands of comments, I will do more shadowing videos.

137

This week I want you to try practicing these sentences every day for one week.

138

If you don't have time to do them all just do a few

139

and if you watch an English film or movie

140

or a series then try shadowing directly that is right away without pressing pause.

141

Tricky? but try it.

142

Thanks for practicing with me today.

143

Don't forget to subscribe, like and say hi in the comments.

144

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。
