  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: prosecution /ˌpɹɑ.sɪˈkju.ʃən/, inadmissible /ˌɪnədˈmɪsəbəl/, voluntarily /ˌvɑlənˈtɛɹɪli/, testimony /ˈtɛstɪmoʊni/, testimonial /tɛstɪˈmoʊni.əl/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: proceedings /pɹəˈsiːd.ɪŋz/, motive /ˈmoʊtɪv/, defraud /dɪˈfɹɔd/, uphold /ˌʌpˈhəʊld/, disregard /dɪsɹɪˈɡɑɹd/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: substantiate /səbˈstænʃieɪt/, blackmail /ˈblækˌmeɪl/, polygraph /ˈpɒliɡɹæf/, tragic /ˈtɹæd͡ʒɪk/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: polygraph /ˈpɒliɡɹæf/, disregard /dɪsɹɪˈɡɑɹd/

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.
