쉐도잉 연습: How to Force Yourself To Speak Coherently - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
There is such thing as a mind to mouth connection.
2
Being able to think and then say what you're thinking
3
and still in the process of that sound coherent is a skill set.
4
And just like any skill, your mind and mouth connection can be trained.
5
So if you are really good at thinking, but you're not really good at speaking your thoughts, then what tends to happen is, what I'm trying to describe is there's like a,
6
you know, it's kind of connected to your mouth And that's how I used to do it.
7
I wasn't able to speak my thoughts and have it come across concise, clear and coherent.
8
And if you ramble like this, especially in high-stake moments like a team meeting or a performance review or a job interview,
9
then you're not going to get the outcome that you desire.
10
I've spent over a decade teaching communication skills to thousands of professionals who struggle with this specific thing.
11
And in this video, I'm going to show you the one exercise that's had the biggest impact on myself
12
and many of my students.
13
To help them be able to strengthen their mind and mouth connection.
14
So they can speak their thoughts with ease.
15
It's called the, wait for it, the random word generator exercise.
16
I know, how creative of me.
17
Go to a random word generator online, generate a random word, and then speak on that topic.
18
Once you know how this works, and you do it just once, you immediately notice where you struggle, and you want to do it again and again and again and again.
19
This is all in the reps.
20
And the more reps you do, the better you'll be able to speak your mind with clarity.
21
So when your boss puts you on the spot and you have to speak about a certain topic, or someone maybe pulls you aside and asks you a random question,
22
you'll be able to speak your mind without lagging.
23
This is the random generator and you can go to randomgenerator.com, literally, and if you hit the blue button, it will generate a random word.
24
So can you see the word to the right there?
25
Right now it's cultural.
26
I'll click a random word and then I'm going to talk on it.
27
Here we go, random word, grave.
28
Now I have to speak on the word grave for at least a minute to three minutes.
29
I still remember there was a book that I read and the book said,
30
the richest place on earth is the graveyard.
31
And I was like, what?
32
What does that even mean?
33
That doesn't make sense.
34
And then the author further explained
35
that the reason why the graveyard is the richest place on earth is
36
because so many people live their lives in desperation
37
and they fear what other people think and as a result they don't bring their dreams to life.
38
So when they die, all of their dreams, their ideas, all die with them.
39
So when you go to the graveyard, it's the richest place on earth, it's the wealthiest place on earth because there are inventions
40
that were never invented because
41
that person was scared of what other people think there was impact
42
that never was realized because people didn't learn how to use their voice and bring their ideas to life
43
there are visions there are dreams there are gifts and talents
44
that are all buried with the person who unfortunately died and
45
that has always stuck with me because i i never thought about it
46
that way and it just goes to show the power of communication
47
because even though that communication was in the written form
48
that book and then the book i read it from was uh think and grow rich
49
it's it's inspired millions of people around the world and it just goes to show that
50
communication no matter verbal or written it has the power to change the world because it was that metaphor alone,
51
it was that analogy alone that made me rethink my life.
52
I didn't want to go to the grave with all of my ideas, all of my dreams, all of my impact.
53
I wanted to live full and die completely empty because I want my grave slot
54
to be the poorest place in the graveyard.
55
I want to live full and die completely empty.
56
All right, so that's an example of me just speaking my mind, right?
57
And you have to appreciate that while you're practicing this, it will never be crystal clear wisdom.
58
Now, this is you practicing speaking your mind.
59
There are more techniques to be able to speak your mind in a more structured way
60
and that's by you learning how to use communication frameworks.
61
I've recorded a free two-hour training on this
62
which you can access via the link in the description or the pinned comment below.
63
And when you practice the random word generator exercise combined with the knowledge of communication frameworks,
64
you're going to become a communication master.
65
So do check out the free training
66
when you finish this video i didn't know the word grave was going to come up i had no idea
67
that this is genuinely random
68
so then as a result i was able to still be
69
fairly eloquent i was able to still be fairly concise
70
and i was able to still be fairly coherent the first
71
time i did this no way was it like this i'll
72
give you a sense of what it was like the first
73
time i did this i'll go back to the screen let's
74
get another one i'll give you a sense of what it was like it was like eliminate um eliminating people,
75
you know, in sports that sometimes happens because, you know, like dodgeball, someone throws it at you and then you get eliminated,
76
you know, eliminate, you know, it's like game shows, people in game shows, you know, you get eliminated.
77
And that's how I used to do it.
78
And when you do it for the first time, it's going to be like that, It's got to be like that too and that's okay.
79
Most people are not willing to pay the price of being a little bit crap to then ultimately become great.
80
The reality is most people want to start out great.
81
And then as a result, they don't start at all because it's impossible to start great.
82
You must start poorly.
83
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.
84
Inside the stage community, we have an area called the practice lounge.
85
So many students upload videos every single day of them doing the mind and mouth connection.
86
Going, okay, the random word is monkey.
87
Oh crap, I gotta talk about monkey.
88
And then they're talking about monkey and you'll see their first video, you'll see their second video, you'll see their third video, fourth video, and you'll start to notice they get better and better and better.
89
Why?
90
Because they're starting to strengthen the mind and mouth connection.
91
And if you don't practice, well, you'll never have that strong connection.
92
And you will always forever be in a state where someone asks you a question, you know the answer, you know the answer in your mind, but then you go, well,
93
I think it's, and then you just fall apart.
94
Well, that's because the connection is not strong.
95
It's not because you're not capable.
96
It's not because you didn't know the answer, but rather because you haven't worked on a skill that has been holding you back.
97
So I need you to understand that as you're going on the journey of strengthening your mind and mouth connection, please, please, please, please don't beat yourself up when you do the first one and it's absolutely terrible.
98
Record a video of yourself on your computer and then you just do a selfie video and you go, all right, I'm about to hit the random word.
99
So I'm genuinely gonna do this.
100
Click random word, show the word on the phone and then go, all right, I'm gonna talk about pigeons and then go.
101
99% of people won't do this exercise.
102
So if you do it, post it on social media and tag me at AskVin and hashtag the hashtag VinsRandomWordChallenge.
103
I know, I'm just super creative.
104
I'm amazing.
105
And I'll check it out.
106
I might even share it.
107
And if, listen, you want to take this to the next level, then make sure you combine that exercise with communication frameworks.
108
And if you want to access that free training, the link is just in the description below.
109
And I'll remind you of the quote again.
110
In order for you to become great, you first must be a little bit crap or as I like to say it, you must be a little bit shit.
111
I know, potty mouth, so naughty, Vin, so naughty.
112
It's who I am.
113
It's who I am.

맥락 및 배경

영어를 유창하게 구사하는 것은 많은 학습자들에게 큰 도전입니다. 발표, 팀 회의 또는 면접 같은 중요한 순간에 자신감을 가지고 생각을 명확히 전달하는 능력은 많은 사람들에게 필수적인 스킬입니다. 이 비디오는 그 연결고리, 즉 '생각에서 말로 이어지는 과정'을 어떻게 개선할 수 있는지를 다룹니다. 많은 전문가들이 자신의 생각을 효과적으로 전달하지 못하는 문제를 겪고 있으며, 그 해결책으로는 '무작위 단어 생성기 연습'을 추천합니다. 이 연습은 여러분이 즉시 생각을 말로 옮기는 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법입니다.

일상 소통을 위한 상위 5개 구문

  • “이걸 어떻게 설명할 수 있을까요?” - 자신의 생각을 명확히 표현하기 위한 시작점.
  • “제가 생각하는 것은…” - 자신의 의견을 제시할 때 유용한 표현.
  • “제 경험에 비추어 볼 때…” - 개인의 경험을 바탕으로 대화를 풍부하게 만드는 방법.
  • “이 주제에 대해 좀 더 깊이 이야기해 볼까요?” - 대화의 깊이를 더하는 질문.
  • “결론적으로…” - 논의를 마무리하며 요약할 때 사용.

단계별 쉐도잉 가이드

이 영상을 통해 배운 무작위 단어 생성기 연습을 활용하여 영어 스피킹 스킬을 향상시키는 방법을 단계적으로 살펴보겠습니다. 이 연습은 영어 쉐도잉과 함께 진행할 수 있어 효과적입니다.

  1. 온라인에서 무작위 단어 생성기를 찾아주세요.
  2. 생성된 무작위 단어를 읽고, 해당 단어에 대해 1~3분 동안 이야기해 봅니다. 이때 shadowspeaks 기법을 활용하여 입과 마음의 연결을 강화하세요.
  3. 자신의 의견을 정리하면서 영어 발음 교정을 주의 깊게 신경 쓰세요. 발음이 명확할수록 의사소통이 효과적입니다.
  4. 이런 방식으로 반복 연습하면, 팀 회의나 면접과 같은 높은 압박 상황에서도 스스로의 생각을 자연스럽게 표현할 수 있습니다.
  5. 자주 연습하고 피드백을 받는 것이 중요합니다. 영어를 배우는 친구들과 함께 하거나, 혼자서도 지속적으로 연습해 보세요.

이 연습을 통해 IELTS 스피킹과 같은 시험에서도 보다 자신 있게 대처할 수 있는 능력을 기를 수 있습니다. 매일 조금씩 연습하여 유창한 영어를 구사하는데 한 발짝 다가가 봅시다!

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.
