  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: aesthetician /ɛsθɪˈtɪʃən/, hilarity /hɪˈlæɹɪ.ti/, unforgettable /ˌʌnfə(ɹ)ˈɡɛtəbəl/, unbelievable /ˌʌnbɪˈliːvəbl̩/, electronics /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɑ.nɪks/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: clap /klæp/, laughter /ˈlæftɚ/, hilarity /hɪˈlæɹɪ.ti/, moustache /ˈmʌstæʃ/, transparent /tɹænsˈpæɹənt/
  • /w/ — met ronde lippen: breadwinner /ˈbɹɛdˌwɪnɚ/, sweetie /ˈswi.ti/, swipe /swaɪp/, underwear /ˈʌndɚˌwɛɹ/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als clap, aesthetician, massage.

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.
