I'm sure you are familiar with a series of videos on my YouTube channel titled Speak English With Me.
2
I received an incredible amount of positive reviews on those videos from people saying
3
that they helped them significantly with their speaking skills.
4
And here's what our practice will look like.
5
First, I'll perform the entire dialogue so that you have an example of how it should sound.
6
Then the dialogue will be broken down into two parts for practice.
7
In the first part, I'll start the dialogue by saying my lines and then you will see your lines on the screen.
8
You'll need to read your lines off the screen out loud as if we were conversing with each other.
9
In the second part, we'll reverse the roles.
10
Your line will come first followed by mine.

Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet | will be broken · is based · will be applied |
| Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt | I've started |
| Toekomst met “will” will + werkwoord — een besluit, belofte of voorspelling | will look · I'll perform · will be |
| Verplichting: must / have to / need to zeggen dat iets nodig is | need to read · need to start · need to do |
Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 30 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'll, you're, I'm. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: electricity /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪsɪti/, consecutive /kənˈsɛkjʊtɪv/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/, consecutive /kənˈsɛkjʊtɪv/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, pause /pɔːz/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: activate /ˈæktɪˌveɪt/, lastly /ˈlæstli/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als assist, deposit, dialogue.
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.
