쉐도잉 연습: How to Talk to Anyone with Ease and Confidence - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Thanks for watching AIM Northwest.

Our next guest says she can teach us how to make dazzling conversation with anyone we meet.

We welcome back the author of Human Lie Detection and Body Language 101, Vanessa Van Edwards.

Now Vanessa, I just had to pull you away from a conversation with Fabi over there.

Yes.

But for folks who have a hard time making conversation,

there's a science behind having a good conversation, right?

Yeah, and the good news is,

is the science of conversation.

It can be used in any situation,

whether it's professional, networking events, business meetings, colleagues.

And also it's the same for social,

parties, new friends, meeting in-laws for the first time.

Luckily the science is the same,

whether you love conversation or you don't.

Okay, so let's talk about the first rule you say is your intention.

Yeah, and this is actually the one that we most often forget.

So the best conversations and the best conversationalists,

they always set the intention for the conversation.

And this helps ward against,

you know those awkward lulls or pauses?

Yeah.

That doesn't happen when you set an intention.

So what I want you to think about before you meet someone,

before you go to an event,

is what do you want to bring from the event?

What do you want to bring to the event?

So are you there to get new business?

Are you there to meet a significant other?

Are you there to just have a good time?

Are you there to learn something about someone?

Just setting that minor intention,

I always do it on the car,

no matter where I'm going,

that helps you guide your conversation.

For the next few tips,

you'll notice you need to have sort of that guiding drive to know what you want to talk about or ask next.

So set your intention before you even show up.

That's kind of like a game plan, right?

Making sure you have a plan.

Exactly, exactly.

It's setting up your strategy for the night.

And again, it could be as simple as,

I just want to laugh.

I just want to have a good time because that's going to change the direction of your conversation.

Okay, you talk about approach.

Yes.

So when you think about conversation,

you usually think about the first line.

But research shows that our first impression doesn't happen when you first hear someone,

it happens when you first see someone.

So actually the best conversationalists,

they always approach, they almost start their conversation on the approach.

So what I want you to do is anytime you're about to initiate conversation

or you're about to go to someone and introduce yourself,

is set yourself up right.

So the best first impression happens when you have nice open body language.

So you want your hands really visible,

out of pockets, not tucked into your purse, not behind your back.

It helps with our trust cues.

Right.

And then having your shoulders down and back.

Anytime we turtle, it signifies anxiety.

So shoulders down and back.

And then your smile is actually your opening line.

So when you smile at someone, it warms them up.

Right.

To them going, oh, this person's about to talk to me.

Right.

And it gets them sort of already going.

It's like your opening line a little bit, your smile.

Right.

That's a good idea.

And what would be a good opener?

Okay.

So everyone asks me, you know,

what's a good pickup line?

What's a good opening line?

There was a huge research experiment that looked at almost every single pick-up line,

all the different ways we start a conversation.

Let me guess.

Would it be a compliment?

First thing you say is,

I like that ring or those boots or that dress.

Compliments are great second and third.

The first one is, I know this is going to sound simple,

hello, how are you?

Oh!

By far.

That one by far.

And if you think about it,

that's actually, you don't really want to say something too intense when you first start.

That's true.

You go up, you say, hey, how are you?

I'm Vanessa, whatever.

And then you go into what's next.

And the next part, so you've already introduced...

So you don't even say your name?

You can say, hey, how are you?

100

I'm Vanessa.

101

Gotcha.

102

Hey, how are you?

103

That hey, how are you?

104

Hello, how are you?

105

It's actually so nice because it's so easy and it's so natural.

106

So don't think of anything crazy.

107

Just go with what's simple.

108

Okay.

109

And then what I want you to do is look for what's called conversation sparks.

110

So conversation sparks, this is the difference between a dazzling conversation

111

and kind of like a meh conversation right

112

so conversation sparks are the non-verbal cue is when you're engaging curiosity

113

when you're engaging someone to go wow this is that's really interesting

114

and can i teach you the non-verbal sign for sparks sure

115

so across cultures across genders and races there is one thing

116

that everyone does when they are super engaged

117

and it's the eyebrow raise oh

118

so you just did it anytime anytime someone says something interesting

119

we go oh that's what you're looking for you're looking for the topics the conversations the stories

120

that make them go oh really that means they're really listening

121

that means you're not just going into meh boring

122

so what i want you to think about is you set your intention right

123

so maybe your intention is to get to know your in-law better right

124

so what you'd be doing is asking questions you're trying to

125

look for likes mutual likes do you like this restaurants vacations do we have similar hobbies

126

that we like and then you're looking for

127

that oh i love the baseball game last night

128

and then you know you've hit it you've hit a spark

129

and then you can go down that hole on

130

that rabbit hole in the conversation so you're looking for the spark the eyebrow raise

131

when you set

132

that intention that's what you're looking for the whole time okay um ending a conversation my husband

133

and his family can never end and i don't know how they do it but they can never end a conversation.

134

It's the funniest thing.

135

So we we don't think about ending a conversation as important

136

but actually your last impression is just as important as your first impression.

137

So here's what you do.

138

Here's a really easy way if you ever want to end a conversation.

139

First, mention it's called a future mention.

140

So hey what are you up to this weekend?

141

What are you doing later today?

142

It actually shifts the focus from present to future.

143

Oh yeah yeah.

144

And then they talk about oh yeah this weekend you know

145

I'm gonna go to a I'm gonna go to the hike in forest park.

146

Right.

147

That's your cue to say,

148

well, it was so great speaking with you.

149

I wish you the best of luck on that hike.

150

I hope it's great fun.

151

So actually that future mention is a nice little tie-in.

152

Segway, yeah.

153

And it's a really clean,

154

nice, polite way to thank them for the conversation

155

and then wish them the best of luck on whatever their future endeavor is.

156

That's a good idea.

157

Let's say you're at a party and you want to make sure that someone feel comfortable coming up to you.

158

What would be good body language?

159

Oh, I love it.

160

Okay.

161

So what you want to look for for yourself and others is the pivot out.

162

So whenever you're trying to approach two people or three people,

163

anytime they're both facing each other so their toes are aligned,

164

you know that they're probably not open to anyone else.

165

They're having a conversation.

166

Don't interrupt them.

167

Don't interrupt them.

168

So when you want to be approached or you want to approach someone else,

169

look for the pivot out.

170

That's when someone's, they're talking to each other,

171

but their body is actually angled out.

172

Their toes are angled out.

173

That means they're much more open.

174

They're available.

175

To approach, and you want to do the same.

176

So if you're talking to someone,

177

you still want people to come up to you.

178

Make sure you pivot out towards the room.

179

That signals people that you are open physically and literally.

180

And I would guess to get off your cell phone.

181

Oh my goodness.

182

I mean, I hope that that goes without saying.

183

The worst thing you can do is...

184

No, people, it's a habit for a lot of people and they assume that anybody can come up and talk to them.

185

But if I see someone on their cell phone,

186

I'm not going to approach them.

187

And the problem is, is when we get nervous and we have no one to talk to,

188

what do we do?

189

We're like, I'm going to pretend to text.

190

Right.

191

So the problem is, it's this bad cycle.

192

You don't have anyone to talk to.

193

So you pretend to text and then no one comes up to you.

194

So what I would say is you're much better off going to get a drink,

195

always have something in your hand.

196

It feels nicer to have something in your hand.

197

Right.

198

And plant yourself right where people exit the bar or the food.

199

Because that's the sweet spot.

200

That's where everyone's like, I have no one to talk to.

201

Right.

202

So be that person who's like,

203

hey, so what are you drinking?

204

What did you get?

205

Doesn't this food look great?

206

Hey, hello, how are you?

207

Yeah.

208

Got you.

209

Plant yourself right there.

210

Really good tips, Vanessa, as always.

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.
