레슨 만드는 중...
1
This whole aspect of the lungs and how they're built
2
and how they have a whole architecture of receiving and really dealing with what comes their way,
3
this is a part I think of achievement we sometimes do not notice or do not have in our mind.
4
What I think of now sometimes, what I didn't understand back then was an advice my grandma often gave me.
5
She said when I was being very eager, going like to get something, you know, but tense maybe she would say a dolce dolce mousie, which was like soft, soft.
6
And back then I always thought it's like this relax, you know, and when you're kind of like tensed up, that's not a great advice to get, because you usually don't relax then.
7
But when I read about the lungs, I realized I think she meant something entirely different.
8
It was that, you know, life can be hard, challenges can be tough.
9
And if we just tense up and reaction towards that, energy doesn't suffice.
10
We really need sometimes to use softness to go all the way all the way
11
and now when I have a very stressful day earlier I would have clenched up
12
and put my muscles into like attack mode
13
and my jaw would maybe get a bit tense too
14
but nowadays in between like meetings or something I would go really soft
15
and just really relax and then I realize oh this is a way
16
that really makes my energy work for me
17
and this is how I can go through a long hectic day way better than just tensing up
18
so softness is actually a really important counterpart in, you know, going the extra mile, getting the things you want, softening up in between.

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.
