쉐도잉 연습: HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH: Complete Study Plan 2026 - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
If you want to become fluent in English this year, you need a plan.
2
My name's Michael, I'm an English communication coach, and it's my goal to help you speak English confidently, clearly, and fluently.
3
In this video, I'm going to tell you why you need a plan when learning English and how you can create one.
4
I'm also going to give you seven different language learning techniques, which you can use to help you improve your English more quickly and efficiently.
5
I know when it comes to learning English, it can seem like there's a lot of information out there.
6
Too much information.
7
It can be really overwhelming and often you don't know where to start.
8
But don't worry, in this video I'm going to be very specific
9
and tell you everything you need to know to create your own custom study plan.
10
Now before we talk about how to do this, I want to talk about why you need a plan.
11
Let's imagine you're driving a car.
12
You probably know where you're going and you have a destination in mind.
13
Maybe it's work, the beach or another city.
14
But wherever it is, if you want to reach this place, you need to know which roads to take.
15
Maybe you use a GPS or maybe you use a map.
16
But before you start driving, you figure out which path you're going to take and how you can reach your destination.
17
Learning English is no different.
18
In this case, your goal is fluency or a C2 level.
19
Well this is where we need to talk about how to create a plan.
20
Everybody's plan when learning English will be slightly different.
21
And the reason for this is everybody has different needs.
22
Maybe you're learning English to get a better job.
23
Or maybe you've just moved to the US or the UK
24
and you want to improve your fluency to fit in and sound more like a native speaker.
25
Now how do you figure out what your needs are?
26
All you need to do is ask yourself the question why?
27
Why am I learning English?
28
Your answer to this question is the reason you're learning English.
29
And when you create a study plan, you need to focus on this reason.
30
So let's look at the seven skills you need to practice if you want to reach this level.
31
You're going to have to focus on reading, writing, speaking, listening, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
32
Now that we've listed these seven skills, I want you to look at each and think honestly about how good you are at it.
33
How well do you know these seven skills?
34
I want you to rank them each from one to seven.
35
Seven being the worst, so you don't know this very well, it's a big weakness for you.
36
And one being the best, which means you know this skill very well and you're very good at it.
37
Be honest with yourself because this is really important for the next part of the exercise.
38
say your reading skills aren't that great, but they're also not horrible.
39
You give yourself a three.
40
Now let's say writing is actually one of your strongest skills.
41
You're very good at it, so you give yourself a one.
42
But on the other end, your speaking skills are really not great.
43
You feel nervous and you can't find the right words when you speak, so you give yourself a seven.
44
Maybe your listening isn't that bad, give yourself a 3.
45
You know you need to expand your vocabulary, so you give yourself a 4.
46
Your grammar and pronunciation are both pretty good, so you give yourself a 2 for both.
47
Now, as I said before, it's really important that you be honest with yourself,
48
because knowing your strengths and weaknesses is really the only way you can actually improve.
49
So now you're probably thinking, Michael I have these seven numbers, what's the point of this?
50
What do I do now?
51
Well this is where the magic happens.
52
I want you to look at this blank schedule.
53
We have seven days of the week and seven different rows.
54
Each of those numbers you chose represents how often you're going to practice that skill per week.
55
So you gave yourself a three for reading.
56
You could do this on Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
57
Since you're really good at writing, you don't need to practice it that much.
58
You gave yourself a one, so you need to practice once a week.
59
Let's say you have some time on Monday so you practice it then.
60
And you have problems speaking so you gave yourself a seven.
61
This means you need to practice speaking seven days a week.
62
Once you've filled out this whole chart it should look something like this.
63
Obviously yours will look a bit different depending on what skills you need to practice
64
and how much time you have on certain days.
65
For example if you don't have much time on Monday, you can arrange your schedule so you only practice one skill on Monday,
66
but then practice four other skills on a day you have more time.
67
This just gives you a general idea of how to structure your weekly schedule.
68
Now if you're wondering about how much time to spend a day, you can use this simple formula.
69
Just take how much time you have to spend
70
and divide it by the number of skills you have to practice that day.
71
For example, if you have an hour on Monday and you have to practice writing,
72
reading, speaking, and vocabulary, that means you have to spend 15 minutes on each skill.
73
So pause the video, go fill out that chart, and you will have your weekly study schedule.
74
So now you're probably thinking, okay, I have my schedule and I know which skills I need to practice,
75
but how do I actually practice them?
76
I'm going to give you seven techniques you can use to practice these skills
77
but before we get to that make sure to subscribe to the channel if you're finding this video helpful.

83
With that said let's get back into the video
84
and let's look at the seven techniques you can use to practice these skills.
85
But for each skill I'm going to give you one technique which you can use to start practicing now.
86
So first of all how do we practice English reading skills.
87
We have to read but there are actually two types of reading.
88
If you want to improve your reading skills you need to practice both reading quickly and detailed reading.
89
You can read quickly where maybe you don't understand every single word
90
but you try to understand the general meaning of the text
91
and you can also do detailed reading where you look at every single word and translate the ones you don't understand.
92
Now what you read depends on your level of English.
93
If you're at A2 or B1 you need to read something a bit simpler without too many difficult words.
94
My number one recommendation at this level is simple Wikipedia.
95
Go to simple.wikipedia.org And there you will find thousands of Wikipedia articles in relatively simple English.
96
Some words will still be a bit difficult, but this is definitely a great starting point.
97
So go check it out and I'm sure you can find a topic that you're interested in reading about.
98
Once you get to a B2 level or higher,
99
you can really start reading authentic material which is content written by native speakers for native speakers.
100
You can obviously read books, which are great, but if you're looking for something a bit shorter, I recommend online newspaper articles.
101
The language in these is difficult and it will challenge you, but that's exactly what you need if you want to improve your English quickly.
102
I'll put a link in the description to a couple sites which I think have some very good articles.
103
Now, when it comes to writing, how should you practice this skill?
104
First of all, you should ask yourself, what do you actually need to write in English?
105
For most people, that means emails, letters, or maybe academic writing at school.
106
Once you know what you need to write, think about the context.
107
For example, are you sending an email to your boss asking for a meeting?
108
Or maybe you're writing an application letter for a new job.
109
Once you figure that out, what you need to do is practice writing drafts.
110
Imagine you're writing the real thing, but now you have a bit more time to think about what you want to say, to play around with your word choice,
111
and to structure everything perfectly.
112
So when the time comes to actually write one of those emails or letters in real life,
113
you'll know exactly what to say and you can do it really quickly because you've already practiced.
114
Now if you want some more information on how you can improve your writing,
115
I'm also going to put a link in the description to a great free tool so go check that out.
116
And if you haven't already make sure to subscribe to the channel because I will be talking about writing in future videos.
117
Okay let's talk a bit about speaking.
118
Speaking might be the easiest thing to practice because all you need to do is to speak with people.
119
If you feel nervous when you speak that's completely normal and it will eventually go away with practice.
120
Now what if you don't have anybody to practice speaking with?
121
Well you can actually speak to yourself.
122
Don't do this in public but when you're alone it helps to actually say your thoughts out loud in English.
123
I have personally used this technique when learning German and Italian and I can tell you it works.
124
Obviously it's better to find somebody to practice speaking with, but if you can't find anybody, speaking to yourself is a great alternative.
125
When it comes to listening skills, here's one thing you can do to improve.
126
Turn on a British or American movie or TV series and listen to it for two minutes without subtitles.
127
Then what I want you to do is listen to those two minutes again with subtitles.
128
And I'd even recommend you write the subtitles down so you have a little paragraph you can look at and study.
129
Once you have the words in front of you, listen to those two minutes again and follow along with the text.
130
Connect what you hear with what you see and keep doing this until you understand every word in the text.
131
This exercise will help you because it allows you to hear how native speakers talk
132
and at the same time see what's actually written so you can connect what you hear with what you see.
133
Alright moving on to vocabulary.
134
What can you do to expand your vocabulary in English?
135
Now, I've mentioned that you can read books or news articles or you can watch TV or movies,
136
but how do you actually remember these new words?
137
So, one great way to do this is to keep some sort of diary or notebook.
138
Maybe it's on your phone or on paper, but the point is you have a list of new vocabulary words.
139
Every time you hear or see a new word, write it down and look up the definition,
140
and you can write the word but also the definition in your notebook.
141
When the time comes to practice this vocabulary, you can sit down and repeat every word in the list until you've memorized it.
142
If you can I'd actually recommend doing this before bedtime
143
because some studies have shown that when you sleep you're actually improving your memory.
144
All right moving on to grammar.
145
For some people grammar is the most boring skill.
146
For other people it's the most interesting
147
but it actually doesn't matter what you think of it
148
because grammar is so important to any language and you do have to learn it.
149
A lot of learning grammar is just memorization, but it's not enough just to memorize the rules.
150
Once you've learned a new grammar concept, you need to practice it in context.
151
The best way to do this is to sit down and write 10 to 20 sentences using that grammar concept,
152
but make sure these sentences are ones that you would actually say in real life.
153
This way you can connect the grammar concept with your real life experiences which will actually help you memorize them faster.
154
Again when it comes to the actual grammar concepts there are
155
so many free resources out there but I'm going to link a couple in the description below so go check them out.
156
And lastly let's talk about pronunciation.
157
Remember how I said you need to create a vocabulary list to memorize?
158
Well, you also need to create a pronunciation list.
159
When you hear words that are new or difficult to pronounce, write these down and eventually you'll have a pretty long list.
160
Now it's not enough to only write the words down, you actually have to practice pronouncing them.
161
And you do this by imitating
162
or mimicking someone's pronunciation as many times as you need to until you can say the word perfectly.
163
If you don't have a native speaker to help you, you can go to any translation website
164
and normally they will have a button you can press so you can hear how the word sounds.
165
Obviously if you have somebody to correct your pronunciation like a coach,
166
you will see progress more quickly but you can also try to do this on your own.
167
Okay, I could talk about all these topics for hours, but I don't want to make this video too long today.
168
We've seen why you need a plan, how you can create a plan, and seven different techniques you can use to practice the seven language skills.
169
Now you have no excuse not to take action, so get to work and start improving your English today.

영어 학습, 계획이 중요한 이유
영어를 유창하게 말하고 싶다면 단순히 공부만 하는 것이 아니라 계획이 필요합니다. 마이클이라는 영어 커뮤니케이션 코치가 이야기하는 동영상에서도, 영어 학습은 목적지가 있는 드라이브와 같다고 합니다. 목적지가 분명해야 어떤 길을 가야 할지 알고, GPS나 지도처럼 계획을 세워야 목표에 도달할 수 있다는 거죠. 특히 유튜브 영어 공부를 하면서 계획 없이 방황하다 보면 정보 과부하에 빠져 쉽게 지치게 되니, 이번 기회에 자신만의 공부 계획을 세워보는 건 어떨까요?
일상 대화에 필수적인 5가지 표현
동영상에서 자주 사용되는 유용한 표현들을 모았어요. 이것들을 익히면 일상 대화뿐만 아니라 IELTS 스피킹 준비에도 도움이 될 거예요:
- "it's my goal to..." - "나의 목표는...이다" (목표를 명확히 표현할 때 사용)
- "it can be really overwhelming" - "정말 압도적일 수 있다" (정보가 너무 많을 때의 느낌을 표현)
- "be honest with yourself" - "자신에게 솔직해지다" (자신의 실력을 평가할 때 중요한 표현)
- "focus on this reason" - "이 이유에 집중하다" (학습 동기를 강화할 때 사용)
- "what's the point of this?" - "이것의 의미는 무엇일까?" (질문을 던질 때 자연스러운 표현)
shadowspeaks 연습을 위한 단계별 가이드
이 동영상은 발음과 리듬이 자연스러워 shadowspeak 연습에 perfect한 자료입니다. 다음 단계를 따라 해보세요:
- 동영상을 2-3번 듣고 전체 흐름을 파악하세요. 말하는 사람의 목소리, 강세, 억양을 주의깊게 듣는 게 중요해요.
- 한 문장씩 멈추고 따라하세요. "shadowspeaks"의 핵심은 즉시 반복하는 거죠. 발음이 정확하지 않아도 괜찮아요, 리듬을 맞추는 게 먼저입니다.
- 자신의 목소리를 녹음해서 원본과 비교해보세요. 어디가 다른지 찾고, 다시 연습하면 실력이 빠르게 늘어날 거예요. shadow speech 연습은 특히 유튜브 영어 공부할 때 효과적이니 꾸준히 해보세요!
실수는 학습의 일부니까 두려워하지 마세요. 매일 10분씩 연습하다 보면 IELTS 스피킹 점수도 오르고, 영어 실력이 눈에 띄게 향상될 거예요. 당신도 할 수 있어요! 💪
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.
