Routines are usually intentional.

Why do some people find it difficult to stick to good habits?

- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: consistency /kənˈsɪs.tən.si/, productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, procrastination /pɹəʊˌkɹæs.tɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, achievable /əˈt͡ʃivəbəl/, actionable /ˈæk.ʃə.nə.bəl/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: evolve /ɪˈvɑlv/, excessive /ɪkˈsɛsɪv/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: procrastination /pɹəʊˌkɹæs.tɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, actionable /ˈæk.ʃə.nə.bəl/, procrastinate /pɹoʊˈkɹæs.tə.neɪt/, gradual /ˈɡɹæd͡ʒuəl/, distraction /dɪsˈtɹæk.ʃən/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: ingrain /ɪŋˈɡɹeɪn/, gradual /ˈɡɹæd͡ʒuəl/, grocery /ˈɡɹəʊ.s(ə.)ɹi/
Zo oefen je met deze video

- 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 productivity, procrastination, motivate.
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.
