What's the best way to improve your listening?
2
In this video, I'm going share with you the technique I use to improve my listening.
3
This technique works.
4
And I wish I had known this technique a lot sooner.
5
Because it's easy to do and very effective.
6
So let's get started.
7
First, let's talk about why most people fail to improve their listening.
8
Improving your listening skills takes time. It's a long-term process.
9
But most people forget that or they just don't know.
10
So when they practice listening, they use methods that are inconvenient -- something that is not easy to do.
11
So, it's impossible for them to continue doing it for a long time.
12
As a result, most people quit before they get any results.
13
But how do I know this?
14
Well, I know this because I've made the same mistake.
15
I've tried several methods that were inconvenient like watching the same movie twice, with subtitles first and then without subtitles.
16
That was so boring so I quit after the fourth movie.
17
I also tried listening and then writing down what I heard.
18
But that was too much work and I was too busy.
19
So let's take this back to you.
20
How do you make sure that you don't fail like I did?
21
Well, if you want to succeed, the method you use must be convenient.
22
It must be easy to do.
23
If it's not, you'll probably quit before you see an improvement.
24
So let me share with you the most convenient way to improve your listening.
25
It's very simple.
26
There are only two steps that you need to take.
27
Here's the first step: Download a lot of listening materials to your phone or mp3 player.
28
Now, the best listening materials are the ones where people are just talking naturally.
29
They're just having real conversations.
30
When you use this kind of materials, you're listening to a lot of common, everyday words that people use in real life.
31
So that's the first step.
32
The next step is very important.
33
Do not miss this step.
34
The next step is to listen to the materials.
35
But here's the key: DO NOT do it in your free time.
36
Instead, do it when you're already doing something else.
37
Something that doesn't require much of your attention.
38
Listen to the materials while commuting, while waiting in line, while exercising, and so on.
39
Use those times to practice listening. So that you don't have to spend extra time.
40
Now, why do we have to do this?
41
Well, the reason is that we want to make it convenient.
42
When it's easy to do, you're likely to do it for a long time.
43
And if you do it long enough, your listening skills will definitely improve.
44
Now let me show you something that might shock you.
45
Let's compare this technique with watching movies, which is how many people improve their listening.
46
If you start using this technique today, and if you do it for 30 minutes per day, one year from now, you will have listened to 10,950 minutes of real English conversations.
47
That's a lot of listening.
48
And because you're not doing it in your free time, the amount of extra time spent is zero.
49
That's awesome.
50
What about watching movies?
51
First of all, in a movie, there isn't a conversation or a dialogue in every part, right?
52
If you watch an action movie, you might see a fight scene, an explosion, a car chase scene, and so on.
53
So let's say that on average, the length of a movie is 100 minutes.
54
50% of those are conversations. The rest is something else.
55
If you watch 4 movies a week or 208 movies a year, in one year, you will have listened to 10,400 minutes of fake English conversations.
56
Now here's worst part: because each movie is 100 minutes long, this method requires you to spend as much as 20,800 minutes of your free time.
57
This is really, really sad.
58
Now let's compare the two methods side-by-side.
59
Now I have a question for you.
60
If you use this technique instead of watching movies, and you save over 20,000 minutes per year, how would you spend these 20,000 minutes?
61
Reading English books to increase your vocabulary?
62
Practicing speaking?
63
Or something else?
64
Leave a comment and let me know.
65
So now you know the power of this technique.
66
Let me repeat something important.
67
This is a long term process.
68
It takes time.
69
So please be patient.
70
Fortunately, now you know this technique.
71
So I know that you'll succeed.

왜 이 영상을 보며 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

영어 듣기 능력을 향상시키기 위해서는 효과적으로 말하기 연습을 병행하는 것이 매우 중요합니다. 이 영상에서 제공하는 방법은 여러분이 자연스럽게 회화에 익숙해지도록 돕습니다. 영어 발음 교정을 원하는 학습자라면, 실제 대화를 듣고 말하는 것이 가장 효과적입니다. 자연스러운 대화를 통해 자주 쓰이는 표현과 어휘를 학습하게 되고, 이는 일상적인 대화에서도 큰 도움이 될 것입니다. 게임이나 영화를 보는 것이 아닌, 실제 사람들의 대화를 통해 듣기 연습을 하면 전반적인 영어 실력이 향상될 것입니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

  • “Do not miss this step”: 이 표현은 주의 깊게 따라해야 한다는 강조입니다. 한국어로는 “이 단계를 놓치지 마세요”로 번역할 수 있습니다.
  • “Use those times to practice listening”: 이러한 표현은 시간을 효율적으로 활용하라는 의미로, “그 시간을 활용하여 듣기를 연습하세요”로 볼 수 있습니다.
  • “If it’s not, you’ll probably quit”: 조건문을 활용한 이 문장은 “그렇지 않다면, 당신은 아마 포기할 것입니다”로 번역할 수 있으며, 훈련의 중요성을 강조합니다.
  • “The best listening materials”: 이 구문은 “최고의 듣기 자료”라는 의미로, 청취 자료 선택의 중요성을 나타냅니다.

공통된 발음 함정

영상에서 언급된 내용을 통해 주의할 만한 발음의 함정도 존재합니다. 예를 들어, “improve”와 “listening”과 같은 단어는 원어민이 발음할 때 강세가 다르게 나타날 수 있으며, 특정 악센트에 따라 발음이 변할 수도 있습니다. shadow speech 기법을 사용하여 이러한 발음 함정을 피하고, 자연스러운 발음을 연습하는 것이 중요합니다. 추가적으로, 유튜브 영어 공부에서 자주 사용하는 표현들과 발화를 따라 말하는 연습은 효과적인 방법입니다.

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.
