Hello, this is Kristen.
2
And this is Joe.
3
We wanted to take a moment to welcome you to the Learn Real English family
4
and to tell you a little about the lessons.
5
Now, these lessons are based on real, authentic English conversations that Joe and I have had with each other and our friends, and also with my mom.
6
These are actual conversations that we've had, so you will become familiar, more familiar with real spoken English.
7
So you'll hear Kristin and I in the conversations and also doing the lessons.
8
You'll also hear our friend AJ Hoag from Effortless English.
9
He's done some of the lessons as well.
10
Okay, so now a little bit about the lessons.
11
Each lesson set has a conversation, a vocabulary lesson, and a mini-story lesson for you to listen to.
12
And we've also included the text for each of these in case you want to read along as you listen.
13
The key to learn real English is deep learning.
14
The best way to use these lessons is to listen to one lesson set at a time.
15
You should spend at least one week on each lesson set.
16
Now remember, one lesson set has a conversation, a vocabulary lesson, and a mini story lesson in it.
17
So listen to the lesson set every day for at least one week before moving on to the next set.
18
Even if the lesson set is easy, you should still continue for one week.
19
And if after a week the lesson set is difficult, continue listening until you have a basic understanding.
20
Also, you want to be sure that you do the lesson sets in order
21
because the ones at the end are more difficult.
22
We've included a welcome guide that has some more instructions, so please read it before you start listening to the lessons.
23
And if you have any questions or comments about the lessons, you can go to our discussion board.
24
It's at www.effortlessenglishforums.com.
25
Okay, so now you're ready to start.
26
Thanks for joining the Learn Real English family, and good luck with the lessons.
27
But most importantly, make sure you have fun.

Over deze les

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
