1
let's talk about english vocabulary
2
and how do you actually learn new words i'm pretty sure
3
you're in the situation where you understand pretty much everything around you
4
but when you have to speak the words just don't come
5
and that's fine that's normal it happens to me it happens to everybody
6
because what happens is that you absorb you consume a lot of english
7
but you don't actually produce it so
8
if you want to add new words into your vocabulary
9
that you can actually use here's what you need to do
10
get a coffee take some notes save this video okay one of the biggest mistakes a lot of people make
11
when learning new words is that they are focusing on words
12
that they never need or never use for example you're reading this like complex news article
13
and you have 20 words that you don't know there
14
and you write them down on a piece of paper
15
or in your notebook
16
and you're like these are new words i need to know them no you don't you're not the author of
17
that article you don't work at
18
that media agency you don't need those words you will never use them
19
so what you need to do instead is to learn words
20
that you can actually put in context in your own life
21
and i would start with synonyms for example you know the
22
word happy right how many synonyms can you produce for this
23
word you know the word angry how many more synonyms can you produce for this word synonyms are words
24
that are specific for a certain situation right that's why they exist for example angry could also be upset
25
or it could also be enraged, irritated, annoyed, agitated, furious, livid, infuriated.
26
Take a word that you know like nice or happy
27
or angry or good and learn some synonyms
28
because whenever the situation is going to come that you will need a specific word for that context, you're going to sound a lot better because you're going to have a different option.
29
You can't just say nice all the time.
30
Oh, this is nice.
31
Oh yeah, it was nice.
32
Oh, the dress is nice.
33
The party was nice.
34
The food is nice.
35
Get some synonyms in.
36
And this is a great place to start because you're choosing words that you are already using, that you need, but you're also expanding your vocabulary at the same time.
37
I'm gonna make this into a series, so make sure you follow me to get the other parts.

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.
