쉐도잉 연습: how i learned 7+ languages: tips no one talks about (for some reason) - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
Most people fail at language learning not because it's hard, but because they ignore the easy stuff that actually works.
2
Hey kids, it's me.
3
And I've tried just about every language learning method you can imagine, and after years, years of trial and error, I realized the things that actually work do not get that much attention because they're not very glamorous.
4
Like sure, putting a bunch of sticky notes around your house with Spanish words on them, it seems like a cool life hack, but it's kind of gimmicky, they all fall on the floor after a couple of days,
5
like who's cleaning that up?
6
Not me.
7
So, here are a few tips that actually changed how I learned languages.
8
like pronunciation, vocab, staying consistent, all that good stuff.
9
I'm also going to give you a sneak peek of my language study guide, so let's get into it.
10
So number one, learn words in chunks.
11
Do not just memorize them by themselves.
12
And I want you to think of this method kind of like meal prepping, but more on that later.
13
When we first learn words in a language, we often take notes or make flash cards with just the word itself out of context.
14
So for example, llorar in Spanish, to cry.
15
If you learn a word like this, you have to do a lot more thinking when you actually speak the language apply the grammar rules every single time.
16
Like, if you want to tell someone "don't cry", you think, "okay, I have to conjugate llorar in the U form
17
which normally ends with an S but it's a negative command
18
so that means it switches to an E instead of an A so okay, I got it.
19
No llores." And that's great, you found it, but that took so much work and the person already started crying, so.
20
So this is where the meal prepping comparison comes in and yes, I love eating so damn much that I came up with this myself.
21
With meal prepping, the idea is you cook once up front and then you can eat several
22
Like you don't have to go shopping and get the ingredients out and wash the damn pot every time.
23
And language learning works the exact same way. So like
24
when you learn a chunk of words like "no jores" instead
25
of just the single isolated word "jorar" you're basically pre -cooking your sentences.
26
Like you've already done the mental prep work once.
27
So when it's time to speak you can just grab these like ready -made phrases that you learned and use it.
28
You don't need to cook the grammar every single time.
29
So yeah for example don't practice the French words "aller", "marcher" and "je" separately.
30
Just learn the sentence "je vais au marché".
31
And practice that.
32
Like, that's how natives store language in their brains, so why shouldn't you?
33
Next one.
34
So whenever you read in your target language, always, always read out loud.
35
If you don't, you are literally wasting free pronunciation practice.
36
Instead of just practicing one skill, which is, you know, reading comprehension, you could be practicing pronunciation on top of that.
37
So I just see it as like a missed opportunity if you don't.
38
But at least a missed opportunity for what?
39
I'm so glad you asked.
40
I think it has a couple of great effects.
41
When I speak out loud, what I read, I think I connect with the text more I'm not just glazing over the words,
42
like I'm directly engaging with what I'm reading and producing the sounds.
43
Another thing, reading out loud is one of the easiest ways to build up speaking confidence, especially if you're still like a beginner and you don't feel like jumping into a conversation yet.
44
If you're just reading out loud on your own, no one can judge you, yay!
45
And you can find out what sounds are difficult for you and just get those like micro reps of speaking practice.
46
I've already done two Jimbro references in this video, I don't even work out.
47
Like, I find myself not tripping over words so often, and I just feel like a lot more confident speaking.
48
So, whenever you're reading in your target language, you might as well read it out loud.
49
Like, it can only help.
50
Numéro trois: shadowing.
51
I wasn't sure if this fits within the topic of the video, because I feel like people do talk about this technique.
52
I have before, but I feel like it's only people that are already in the, like, online language learning zeitgeist community, so...
53
Like, I still think the average person doesn't know about this method, so I'm including it.
54
insanely well.
55
It's when you listen to native speakers and you just repeat what they're saying in real time.
56
Like you just repeat after them.
57
You copy their rhythm, their tone, their pronunciation as closely as you can.
58
And so it trains your mouth and your ear at the same time.
59
And it forces your brain to like process natural speech speed instead of like textbook pace.
60
Even just five minutes of shadowing a show
61
or like YouTube video every day can completely change your accent and your flow in a very short amount of time.
62
Let's let's do a little demo, shall we?
63
I have here a French in real time how to do shadowing.
64
Sound good?
65
Okay.
66
Voici l 'école Marie de la Passion tenue par les sœurs.
67
the maternal and primary, the college and the university and the university.
68
So that is pretty much the short and long of it.
69
I kind of just wait until the line is finished, and then I repeat after them.
70
As close as I can.
71
as close as I can.
72
If you want to start shadowing but you don't know what to use, I really really recommend using Lingopie, which is what I was just using.
73
It's a streaming platform with real tv shows
74
and movies in your target language so you can actually pick up on how people speak in real life, not just like textbook phrases.
75
The best part is that it's made for learners without feeling like you know quote unquote study time.
76
Like they have double subtitles and they're interactive
77
so you can just like click on a word or a phrase to see what it means, hear how it's pronounced, and even save it as a flashcard.
78
It's just it's such an easy way to get real input every five seconds to Google something.
79
Like if you're watching a Spanish show and someone says, ah, no te preocupes, you can click it, see what it means, and just, you know, keep it in mind moving forward.
80
That's the kind of context that actually makes words stick.
81
And Lingopay is perfect for shadowing because they have all these tools.
82
They have speed controls.
83
You can also make it auto -pause at the end of every sentence.
84
Very thoughtful and very cool feature.
85
I love that.
86
So it's really nice.
87
You're getting pronunciation practice, listening practice, while just essentially sitting on your butt watching TV.
88
That's, it's truly the best of both worlds.
89
You're still relaxing at the same time.
90
I will drop the link below if you want to try out Lingopie.
91
There's a free trial and it's just amazing.
92
It's one of those tools that makes learning not feel like a Can't ask for more.
93
Now this next one is going to be just like a cluster of tips all relating to consistency
94
and how to be more consistent in language learning.
95
Since honestly the question I get the most from you guys is just how the hell do I stay consistent.
96
My first thought is that you guys might be mistaking what consistency actually is.
97
Like it does not mean grinding every single day whether you feel like it or not.
98
It does not mean one specific activity or like a certain amount of time per day or per week.
99
Because then you just end up with this very narrow definition of what counts as language practice.
100
And you just get into this mode of like policing yourself like "have I done enough?
101
Have I done enough?" And the second you don't fall within that like very narrow definition of what enough is, You feel bad about yourself,
102
duh, which is not motivating and it just makes you more inconsistent because you think, oh, why should I try?
103
I already failed.
104
So by not being more flexible about what your language practice can look like, you just set yourself up to fail.
105
Instead, how about we redefine what consistency is and just talk about some ways to be consistent?
106
Consistency to me, it just means having a system
107
that works for your schedule and your energy levels and being able to meet yourself wherever you're at.
108
But what does that look like practically?
109
for like high, medium, and low energy days.
110
For example, high energy would be like speaking for 15 minutes and recording it or writing a short essay,
111
whereas low energy would be like listening to music in the language or just listening to a podcast while you fold laundry.
112
By doing this, you're accepting that you're not always going to wake up the same person, but you're still committed to keeping contact with your target language.
113
And by the way, if you want a pre -made energy menu along with like a guide of over 60 fun
114
You can try it for free, a little sampler version, I'll leave you a link in the description.
115
I originally made this just for myself to spice up my language studies and use it like, you know, a study menu, kind of.
116
It makes me so much more consistent because I don't have to think so hard about how to study every day, I just pick an activity and then I do it.
117
It's got tons of tips and resources that I put in there so you don't have to look for them, and Lisa recently sent me this very sweet email saying that she loved it, and where can she tell people that she loved it,
118
so I'm just gonna put it in this video.
119
Link is below, try it for free, it's free.
120
Consistency can also look like linking your language practice to specific rituals, like after coffee I do my vocab practice, or on walks I listen to a podcast.
121
Which I've been doing this ritual thing a lot recently.
122
The effect is, when your brain associates something with language learning, it just becomes automatic.
123
There used to be times where I would go like 5 days without even thinking about language learning
124
and then I would realize it and be like "Damn, I haven't made time for it." But you don't need to "make time for it"
125
if you make it something that's just like interwoven day rituals.
126
So like in my case, for example, in the morning when I'm washing up and getting ready for the day, I listen to a podcast in my target language.
127
Then I record myself speaking for 10 to 15 minutes after I make myself breakfast
128
and I eat it while I watch the video back and I take notes on what I could do better.
129
So my daily language practice is like very interwoven into my morning routine and it's so nice for a couple of reasons.
130
One, I've accepted that I need to do my main language practice in the morning
131
because I know I'm not going to do it if I wait for the
132
And since this routine combines two things like my regular morning care and my language learning, there's kind of like a tandem accountability where I make sure
133
that I get both things done
134
because I have struggled in the past with things like consistently eating a good breakfast in the morning.
135
So, yeah, I take care of myself and I also get to be consistent with my languages.
136
There is like a psychological link between these activities for me.
137
Now, another thing
138
that helps me be a lot more consistent with my language learning is having designated days for different skills or languages.
139
What do I do today?
140
What do I practice today?
141
And it just gets rid of that like decision fatigue.
142
For me, I study French Monday and Tuesday.
143
So there's that.
144
Those are my French days and I know what to expect.
145
And on Monday I do input.
146
So that's listening or reading sometimes some flashcards as well.
147
And on Tuesday I do output.
148
So speaking or writing.
149
So because I'm so specific about what I do on
150
which days I have a lot clearer path to actually getting my language practice in for the day.
151
But all in all, the thing that really defines consistency, I can't say that word anymore.
152
Consistency the most for me is just doing something rather than nothing.
153
Like whatever you do, no matter how little, it's always the better decision than just avoiding it and procrastinating it
154
because you're anxious and you already fell off for two days.
155
So what's the point?
156
I've played that game and it's not fun and it's a lot more fulfilling to just do something.
157
So if you can't do 30 minutes of listening practice, just do five.
158
If you can't find the time for a speaking class this week, just review your notes from last week and, you know, write some practice sentences.
159
Consistency is not about never missing a day.
160
that's realistic enough that you do not have to quit and crumble to a million pieces every time life gets messy, which it will.
161
Thank you for watching this video, I hope it was helpful, and let me know what languages you're learning down in the comments below.
162
And seriously, check out my Polyglot Playbook, you can get a sampler version of it for free, I've gotten a ton of rave reviews on it, and it's like all the things that you need to learn a language on a plate.
163
Again, thanks for watching, and à la prochaine!
164
See you next week, bye!

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 하는 이유는?

유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 언어를 배우는 것은 특히 말하기 능력 향상에 도움을 줍니다. 이 비디오에서 말하는 사람은 그가 여러 언어를 배우면서 얻은 직접적인 경험을 바탕으로 유용한 조언을 제공합니다. 특히 발음 연습과 언어 사용의 맥락을 이해하는 것이 중요하다고 강조합니다. 이렇게 다양한 언어적 요소를 연습함으로써 자신감을 높이고, 실제 대화를 나누는 데 필요한 기술을 개발할 수 있습니다. 따라서 이 비디오를 통해 배우는 것이 여러분의 말하기 능력을 크게 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

  • 문장 조각 학습: 강사는 단어를 독립적으로 외우기보다는 문장 조각으로 배우는 것이 더 효과적이라고 설명합니다. 예를 들어, "no llores"라는 표현을 배우면 문법적 변화를 쉽게 기억할 수 있습니다.
  • 소리 내어 읽기: 타겟 언어로 읽을 때는 항상 소리 내어 읽어야 한다고 강조합니다. 이를 통해 발음 연습과 독해 능력을 동시에 향상시킬 수 있습니다.
  • 섀도잉 기법: 비디오에서 'shadowing'이라는 기법을 추천하며, 이는 다른 사람의 발음을 따라 하는 연습입니다. 이와 같은 방법은 발음 향상과 자신감 구축에 큰 도움이 됩니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오에서 다루는 몇 가지 발음의 함정이 있습니다. 예를 들어, 'llorar' (울다)와 같은 스페인어 단어는 비슷한 소리지만 문맥에 따라 다르게 사용될 수 있습니다. 또한, 프랑스어의 'aller' (가다)와 'marcher' (걷다) 같은 단어도 문법적으로 올바르게 사용해야 하기 때문에 발음 연습이 필수적입니다. 비디오에서 제안하는 shadow speak 기법을 활용하면, 이러한 발음의 어려움을 줄이고 자연스러운 발음을 익힐 수 있습니다. 영어 쉐도잉과 같은 방법들을 적절히 활용하면 언어 능력 향상에 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.

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.
