쉐도잉 연습: How to Talk to Your Doctor in English | Easy Medical Words for Beginners ｜Easy English Conversation - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Hello everyone and welcome back to Enjoy English Talks, where every conversation helps you learn.

I'm Judy.

Hello, Judy.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Jake.

How are you today, Judy?

I am good today, thank you.

But yesterday I was not so good.

I had a headache, a very bad headache.

Oh no, a headache?

Are you okay now?

Yes, I'm fine now.

I took some medicine and I rested, but I almost went to the doctor.

The doctor?

That is interesting, because I have a problem with doctors.

A problem?

What do you mean?

When I feel sick, I don't know what to say in English.

I don't know the right words.

At the doctor, I just point at my body and say, here, pain.

Here, pain.

That works, but today I will teach you much better words.

Better words for the doctor?

Yes, please.

Today we are going to the doctor, in English, from making a plan to see the doctor, all the way to getting your medicine.

From making a plan to getting my medicine, let's go.

Thank you, it helps us so much.

We love our listeners.

Okay, now let's start.

So Jake, picture this.

You wake up one morning.

Your throat hurts.

Your head hurts.

You feel terrible.

What do you do first?

Um, I call the doctor.

Yes, you call the doctor.

And when you call, you make an appointment.

A -P -P -O -I -N -T -M -E -N -T.

Appointment.

What does appointment mean?

An appointment is a time you plan to see the doctor.

You call the doctor's office and they give you a day and a time.

Like, your appointment is at 3 o 'clock on Tuesday.

So, an appointment is like a meeting with the doctor.

doctor, you choose a time and you go at that time.

I make an appointment, then I go, what do I say when I call?

You can say, "Hello, I would like to make an appointment please." Hello, I would like to make an appointment please.

That is clear and simple.

And the person on the phone will say, "When would you like to come in?" and you tell them what day or time is good for you.

When would you like to come in?

"Today please, I feel terrible." Yes, if you feel very bad, you can say, "Is there anything available today?" That means,

"Do you have a time for me today?" "Is there anything available today?" I will remember that sentence.

And sometimes the doctor is busy.

They might say, "The first available appointment is tomorrow at 10 :00 a .m." Tomorrow?

But I am sick now.

I know, but you can also go to Urgent Care.

Urgent Care is a place for people who need a doctor right away, no appointment needed.

Urgent care for when I cannot wait.

Good to know.

And when you arrive at the doctor's office, you go to the front desk and you say, I have an appointment at 3 o 'clock.

My name is Jake.

I have an appointment at 3 o 'clock.

My name is Jake.

Then I sit and wait?

Yes.

You sit in the waiting room and you wait until the doctor calls your name.

The waiting room.

I am very good at waiting.

I do it every day on the bus.

You walk in, the doctor says, "Hello, how are you feeling today?" and then they ask, "What are your symptoms?" Symptoms?

What is a symptom?

A symptom is what you feel when you are sick.

It's how your body tells you something is wrong.

S -Y -M -P -T -O -M.

Symptom.

So a symptom is like a sign from my body?

Feeling very tired is a symptom.

These are all symptoms.

So when the doctor asks, "What are your symptoms?" I tell them what I feel?

Exactly.

You describe what is wrong.

My head hurts.

I have a cough.

I feel very tired.

These are all ways to describe your symptoms.

My head hurts.

I have a cough.

I feel very tired.

These are all symptoms.

Yes, and you can also put them together in one sentence.

My symptoms are a headache and a cough.

That is a very clear sentence.

100

to know your symptoms so they can help you.

101

The more you can describe, the better.

102

But sometimes I feel sick and I don't know the English word for it.

103

That's okay.

104

Just describe what you feel.

105

You don't need the perfect word.

106

My stomach feels bad.

107

My body is hot.

108

I feel cold and tired.

109

Descriptions work very well.

110

Just describe what I feel.

111

That makes me feel less nervous.

112

Good.

113

Because the doctor is there to help you, not to test your English.

114

Not to test my English.

115

I like that.

116

Now, let me teach you a very common symptom.

117

Fever.

118

F -E -V -E -R.

119

Fever.

120

Fever.

121

What does fever mean?

122

A fever is when your body temperature is higher than normal.

123

Your body feels very hot.

124

Sometimes you also feel cold at the same time.

125

That is a fever.

126

So a fever means my body is too hot.

127

Yes.

128

When you are healthy, your body temperature is about 37 degrees.

129

When you have a fever, it goes up 38, 39, sometimes even 40.

130

40 degrees.

131

That is very high and very scary.

132

It is.

133

If your fever is very high, you should see a doctor right away.

134

How do I know if I have a fever?

135

measures your body temperature.

136

You put it in your mouth or under your arm.

137

And if the number is above 37?

138

Usually above 38 means you have a fever.

139

A small fever is normal when you are sick, but a high fever, call the doctor.

140

What do I say to the doctor about my fever?

141

You can say, I have a fever, or my temperature is 38 .5.

142

Very simple.

143

I have a fever, my temperature is 38 .5. and clear.

144

And the doctor might ask, "When did the fever start?" and you say,

145

"It started yesterday," or, "It started two days ago." When did the fever start?

146

It started yesterday.

147

I can say that.

148

See?

149

You're getting very good at this.

150

Now, another very useful word.

151

Sore.

152

S -O -R -E.

153

Sore.

154

Sore.

155

What does sore mean?

156

Sore means painful, hurting.

157

When something is sore, it hurts.

158

So sore means pain.

159

Yes, but we use sore in a special way.

160

We put it before the body part.

161

That means my throat hurts.

162

Exactly.

163

When you swallow food or water and it hurts, that is a sore throat.

164

Very common when you have a cold.

165

I have a sore throat.

166

My throat is sore.

167

Can I say it both ways?

168

Yes, both are correct.

169

I have a sore throat or my throat is sore.

170

Same meaning.

171

What about other body parts?

172

You can say, I have a sore back.

173

That means your back hurts.

174

Or my legs are sore, maybe after exercise.

175

My legs are sore after I run.

176

I run for five minutes and my legs are sore for three days.

177

Five minutes of running, three days of sore legs.

178

Very honest and very real.

179

Very honest and very real.

180

And at the doctor, you can point at the place and say, it is sore here.

181

clear.

182

It is sore here.

183

Even if I don't know the English word for the body part, I can point and say sore here.

184

Exactly.

185

And here are the most useful ones.

186

Sore throat, sore stomach, sore back, sore head.

187

These are the ones you will use most often.

188

Sore throat, sore stomach, sore back, sore head.

189

One word before the body part.

190

Easy.

191

You got it.

192

Sore is a very useful word at the doctor's office.

193

A superstar word.

194

The doctor knows what is wrong.

195

What happens next?

196

Um, the doctor gives me medicine?

197

Almost.

198

First, the doctor writes something for you.

199

A prescription.

200

P -R -E -S -C -R -I -P -T -I -O -N.

201

Prescription.

202

Prescription.

203

That is a long word.

204

What does it mean?

205

A prescription is a paper from the doctor, or sometimes it is on the computer.

206

It tells the medicine store what medicine to give you.

207

The doctor writes it.

208

You tell it take it to the store, and the store gives you the right medicine.

209

So a prescription is like a note from the doctor.

210

Yes, a note that says what medicine you need and how much to take.

211

What does the doctor say when they give me a prescription?

212

The doctor might say, I'm going to write you a prescription, or here's a prescription for some medicine.

213

I'm going to write you a prescription.

214

That means the doctor is helping me get better.

215

Yes, and the prescription will say things like, times a day or take one pill in the morning

216

and one at night two times a day one in the morning one at night

217

and the doctor will tell you how many days take this for five days

218

or take this for seven days and what

219

if I feel better after three days can I stop no very important finish all the medicine even

220

if you feel better after three days the medicine needs time to work If you stop too early,

221

you might get sick again.

222

I don't want that.

223

I will finish everything.

224

Good.

225

Now you have your prescription in your hand.

226

Where do you go next?

227

To the medicine store?

228

Close.

229

We call it a pharmacy.

230

P -H -A -R -M -A -C -Y.

231

Pharmacy.

232

Pharmacy?

233

The place where I buy medicine?

234

238

242

questions what kind of questions like how do i take this medicine or can i take this

243

I don't want to fall asleep at work.

244

245

And the pharmacist will tell you, "Some medicines make you sleepy.

246

Some don't.

247

Always ask." I will ask, "Will this make me sleepy?" Very important question.

248

And at the pharmacy, you can also buy some things without a prescription, like cough drops or vitamins.

249

You just take them and pay.

250

Some things, no prescription.

251

Stronger medicines, I need a prescription.

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.
