쉐도잉 연습: A Little Guide to Sounding English 🌹| My Secrets! ✨🤫 | British English 👑 - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Now it's one thing learning English, but what about sounding English?

It's not the same thing, right?

When you come to the UK, you will soon realize that the English that you learned at school is not the English being spoken here.

Phrasal verbs, expressions, the British sense of humour, all makes up native English.

Learning this will enable you to sound like yourself when you're speaking in English.

If you live here or if you work with natives, you need to make connections with them.

Life is all about connections with people.

What are we waiting for?

Let's get started.

Ooh, it's horrible out there, isn't it?

Miserable out there, isn't it?

There's a creaky floorboard.

I will stand in a new place.

Right, I know I've said this time and time again, but it's really important to know how to talk about the weather.

It sounds really trivial, but it's literally how we talk to one another.

It's how we connect people around us.

The way that you say it is really important.

We don't just say "It's raining" or "It's sunny" no no no. We say Ooh, horrible out there, isn't it?

Let me draw your attention to 'out there' and Isn't it?

"Out there" just means in the general world.

We're not being specific.

And isn't it is called a tag question.

It's a rhetorical question, so it doesn't need an answer.

What?

Why do we use those?

To get rid of awkward silences.

To increase the informality.

That's the most important thing.

You can exchange the word 'miserable' or 'horrible' for 'beautiful' if it's a lovely sunny day.

Doesn't matter where you're from, what ties you all together, is that you're all dealing with the British weather.

- - Number two: wish.

The verb wish.

Wish is in small talk.

Most conversations.

Bet you didn't know that, right?

An example: I wish I was in Barbados.

I wish I could magic away all the weeds in my garden.

I wish I was a fairy.

We use wish to talk about impossible situations that we wish were possible.

We like to lament in British culture.

We like to imagine.

We're very whimsical people, really.

The grammar of how to use wish is a little bit specific.

It's quite tricky.

We use the past tense even when we're using wish in the present or to talk about the future.

I know, English doesn't make sense.

Right now, I wish I was in Barbados.

We're using "was" So the past tense in that sentence.

I'll put some more examples on the screen just to show you that.

Hopefully the sentences will make it clear, if not feel free to ask me about it in the comments.

It's tipping it down outside.

tipping it down, the floor's creaking and I can hear my baby upstairs.

Concentrate on this video if you can.

Sorry in advance.

Number three: the time.

We have a very natural way of telling the time here.

We have a few things that we do.

So what we say is instead of 30 minutes past, we say half past In fact, we often just say "half".

So for example, it's half five.

half six Half four.

My bedtime used to be half ten.

before I had a baby Now it's just whenever he sleeps.

Which sometimes is never.

Next, we have the humour.

Everyone knows the British sense of humour is pretty unique.

We're very sarcastic, we have what's called a dry sense of humour and also a dark sense of humour.

But what we do a lot is we are self -deprecating.

Do you know what that means?

If you are self -deprecating, you don't take yourself very seriously.

You make yourself the butt of the joke.

You're happy to make fun of yourself.

for the benefit of others.

This will get you from 0 to 10 in likeability very, very quickly.

It's also a way to remain humble, diffuse awkward situations.

The goal is to show vulnerability, to make yourself more approachable.

Kind of like saying, "No one's perfect, we're all in this crazy life together, and look at me, I'm failing." Failing beautifully.

Gloriously!

I will be making a whole video about this subject, you'll be happy to know.

Here's an example of how you can be self -deprecating.

"Ah, I've got a master's degree in engineering and yet I can't work out how to fold a fitted sheet."

It's a challenge.

I spent hours slaving away over a lovely soup and but somehow it turned blue and is completely inedible.

I tried to make sourdough bread the other day

But I think I've just ended up inventing a new type of doorstop.

- very effective.

Moving on, be specific about the type of rain.

There is.

British weather is interesting to us because it's always changing.

The weather affects everything you do in your life.

Every event you plan, Specifically the rain really affects everything.

What will make you sound more English is if you know the vocabulary for each different type of rain.

Drizzle.

Drizzle is the kind of rain that is so annoying.

In about 20 seconds flat, you are completely drenched.

Even though when you look outside, It doesn't really look like it's raining that much.

What we say is: it's drizzling.

It's drizzling outside.

Ugh!

It's a lovely word, I think.

100

It's a really onomatopoeic word, which means it sounds like kind of what it's describing.

101

Light rain drizzling.

102

So if you can recognise drizzle and not just call it rain, you're on the path to sounding more English.

103

I have a bonus tip: simply just to pronounce your T's.

104

I know that a lot of you want the modern RP British accent, which is really used in the South, around London and below.

105

That's where you can hear not only traditional RP, but also modern RP a lot.

106

Pronouncing your T's will make you sound British as opposed to sounding American.

107

For example, the word "little", if you were American you'd say "little", "little".

108

But we say "little".

109

get these T's really really strong when you're speaking.

110

T -T -T -T -T -T -T It's going to give you that accent that you want.

111

If you don't want the modern RP accent, which is, by the way, the accent that I speak with, and you want a Cockney accent,

112

Scottish accent, or a Scouse accent, well, I can't really help.

113

I don't know those accents very well.

114

There are many YouTube channels that can help you with that.

115

So just type in that into YouTube and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

116

Don't forget your accent is like your identity here.

117

Whether that's a kind of street slang accent or a more standard way of speaking.

118

Anyway, I'm going to stop waffling on and let you get on with your day.

119

It's been really fun talking about this today.

120

I hope you found it useful.

121

Let me know in the comments if you did.

122

If you would like more of this please let me know because that really gives me confidence and encouragement.

123

There's a lot more, as you can imagine, that I can teach you about.

124

I'm wishing you the most wonderful day.

125

I'll see you in the next video.

126

Bye.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
