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.

このレッスンについて
この動画では、未来の条件文に焦点を当てながら、アメリカ英語の発音を練習する「シャドーイング」の方法を学びます。シャドーイングとは、ネイティブスピーカーの発音に合わせて声に出して繰り返す練習法で、特に英語スピーキング練習において非常に効果的です。このレッスンでは、特に「will」という助動詞の短縮形に注目し、「we'll」や「I'll」などの実際の会話でよく使われる表現を学びます。これにより、自然な会話ができるようになり、発音の自信が高まります。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- we'll - 「we will」の短縮形。「私たちは（～する）」という意味で、未来の約束や計画を示す。
- I'll - 「I will」の短縮形。「私は（～する）」という意味で、未来の行動を示す。
- he'll - 「he will」の短縮形。「彼は（～する）」という意味で、未来の約束を示す。
- she'll - 「she will」の短縮形。「彼女は（～する）」という意味で、特定の行動を示す。
- won't - 「will not」の短縮形。「～しない」という否定を示す。
- cuz - 「because」を口語的に短縮した形。カジュアルな会話で使われる。
- hang out - 「遊ぶ」「ぶらぶらする」という意味で、カジュアルな会話でよく使う表現。
この動画の練習のコツ
シャドーイングを行う際は、動画の話速に注意して実践しましょう。初めての場合は、ゆっくりとしたペースから始め、自分が声に出して言いやすいスピードを見つけることが重要です。アクセントにも注意し、特に「will」の短縮形の場合、音のリンク（「we'll」や「I'll」）に意識を向けると、より自然に聞こえるようになります。また、シャドーイングを繰り返すことで、発音練習にもなり、英語の流暢さを向上させることができます。短いフレーズを何度も練習することで、会話の文脈に慣れることができるでしょう。このようにして、英語スピーキング練習のスキルを高め、IELTS対策にも役立つ効果的な練習が可能になります。
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。
ShadowingEnglishでの効果的な学習方法
- 動画を選ぶ: 自然で明瞭な英語が使われているYouTube動画を選びましょう。TED Talks、BBC News、映画のシーン、ポッドキャスト、IELTS模範解答などが最適です。URLをコピーして検索バーに貼り付けてください。短い動画（5分以内）や、自分が本当に興味を持てるテーマから始めるのがコツです。
- まず聞いて内容を理解する: 最初は1倍速でただ聞くだけにしましょう。まだ繰り返す必要はありません。文の意味を理解し、話者がどのように単語を強調し、音を繋げ、間を取っているかに注目してください。内容を把握してからシャドーイングに入ると、はるかに効果的です。
- シャドーイングモードを設定する:
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
+3sまたは+5sを選ぶと、動画が一文を読み終えた後に自動で一時停止し、繰り返す時間が生まれます。完全に手動でコントロールしたい場合はManualを選んでNextを自分で押しましょう。 - Sub Sync（字幕同期）: YouTubeの字幕と音声がずれることがあります。
±100msで調整して、正確なタイミングで追えるようにしてください。
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
- 声に出してシャドーイングする（最重要）: ここが練習の本質です。文が流れると同時に——または一時停止中に——はっきりと自信を持って声に出して繰り返しましょう。ただ単語を読むだけでなく、話者のリズム、強調、高低、連音をそっくりそのまま真似することが大切です。「影」のように話者に重なるのが理想。Repeat機能を使って同じ文を何度も繰り返し、自然に出てくるまで定着させましょう。
- 徐々に難易度を上げて続ける: 一つのパッセージに慣れたら、さらに挑戦してみましょう。速度を <code>1.25x</code> や <code>1.5x</code> に上げれば、高速の言語反射を鍛えられます。Wait Modeを <code>Off</code> にして連続シャドーイングするのが最も上級で効果的なモードです。毎日15〜30分継続すれば、数週間で目に見える変化を実感できます。
