1
Okay, our goal today is to try and understand as much as possible when a native English speaker is talking fast.
2
And today he does speak fast.
3
Before I play the first audio clip, take a look at this question.
4
Why does he, the person speaking, want the other person to use their phone?
5
Okay, take a listen.
6
Can you get your phone out and open Google Maps instead, please?
7
The car is telling me to join the motorway, but I know that's not right.
8
Okay, I told you he was fast.
9
Now, firstly, there's lots of connected speech here.
10
Can you get your phone out?
11
Can you get your phone out?
12
There's a lot of it.
13
So if you want to go back and listen again, please use the chapters.
14
But this is what he said.
15
Can you get your phone out and open Google Maps instead, please?
16
So that's already kind of the answer to the first question he wants them to open Google Maps.
17
Do we understand why?
18
He says the car is telling me to join the motorway.
19
By the way, motorway is how we say the highway or the freeway in the UK.
20
We always say motorway, but I know that's not right.
21
Okay, so he's talking about the car like it's a person, and when he says the car, he means the sat nav, the satellite navigation that's built into the car.
22
He's saying the sat-nav from the car is telling him to go one way, but he knows it's not right.
23
So he's basically saying, I need you to check the directions on their phone.
24
So that's answering the first question.
25
Now that we know the setting, we know that they're in the car, we know it's about directions, it should really help us grasp the next part.
26
So in the second part of the clip, can we answer this?
27
Is this the first time the sat nav has caused problems?
28
Okay, let's keep going.
29
9 times out of 10 it gets it wrong.
30
Hold on, it's changing its mind.
31
Now it's telling me to do a U-turn like it was my fault.
32
Seriously, I've had enough.
33
You can't rely on this thing at all.
34
Okay, so he said 9 times out of 10.
35
This is a useful phrase when you want to just say most of the time.
36
You could mix it up and say 99 times out of 100,
37
but this is by far the most common way of using numbers or fractions to say most of the time.
38
Nine times out of ten it gets it wrong.
39
It meaning the sat-nav from the car.
40
Hold on, it's changing its mind.
41
Now it's telling me to do a U-turn.
42
A U-turn is a turn in the road, like 180 degrees completely back the other way.
43
In the UK we also say to do a U-ey, to do a U-turn.
44
So it's telling him to go back the other way.
45
like it was my fault.
46
It makes sense it's saying my fault because if you're going back the other way then you've gone wrong.
47
He's saying the satnav is trying to tell me I've gone wrong.
48
It's my fault even though he knows it's not.
49
Seriously, I've had enough.
50
You can't rely on this thing at all.
51
I can't remember if he said can't or can't.
52
I always switch which one I say.
53
Sorry if you're looking for can't with the British English today.
54
So we've got the answer kind of twice.
55
Is it the first time?
56
Well, he said nine times out of 10 it gets it
57
wrong straight away we've got the answer no it's not the first time
58
but we also get extra clues at the end you can't rely on this thing at all
59
if you can't rely on it then he wouldn't really say
60
that if it was the first time he's done it
61
so we've got a few clues here to answer question two
62
so question three did they leave on time let's keep going please get your phone
63
and you better call your mum while you're at it because we're already running late as it is.
64
You know the restaurant name right?
65
Just make sure it's the one in Bristol.
66
Okay so what have we got here?
67
Please get your phone.
68
So he's just saying it again.
69
He already said get your phone out.
70
He's getting frustrated.
71
He's a please get your phone and you'd better call your mum while you're at it.
72
While you're doing that thing at the same time.
73
Cause he didn't say because, because we're already running late as it is.
74
As it is is like saying anyway, like we're already running late as it is.
75
He says already so you don't really need to have as it is but
76
before all of this problem happened with the sat nav they were already running late.
77
So that answers the question, did they leave on time?
78
No, they were already running late.
79
You know the restaurant name, right?
80
Just make sure it's the one in Bristol.
81
Bristol is the name of the city, so I'm guessing that this restaurant that they're going to is a chain.
82
They've got lots of different locations, so he's just saying to her, make sure that it's the one in this city and that you're not go into a different chain.
83
Okay, fast native speaker.
84
Now let's listen to it again from start to finish
85
and hopefully it's going to be a little bit more familiar with you now.
86
Feel free to look at the words on the screen or look away if you want that extra practice.
87
Take a listen again.
88
Can you get your phone out and open Google Maps instead please?
89
The car is telling me to join the motorway but I know that's not right.
90
Nine times out of ten it gets it wrong.
91
Hold on, it's changing its mind.
92
Now it's telling me to do a U-turn like it was my fault.
93
Seriously, I've had enough.
94
You can't rely on this thing at all.
95
Please get your phone.
96
And you'd better call your mum while you're at it, because we're already running late as it is.
97
You know the restaurant name, right?
98
Just make sure it's the one in Bristol.
99
Oh, I really understand his frustration.
100
Let me know in the comments if you've also had problems with your sat nav.
101
And if you'd like to keep your studying going, I've made a playlist.
102
If you're interested in British English listening in particular.

104

105

106

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.
