162
I don't know how to express my thoughts clearly.
163
I think I have some tips for you.
164
That's great.
165
What are they?
166
You should get into the habit of speaking English.
167
But how?
168
If you're listening to enough English aimed at your level, you'll progress effortlessly.
169
When your brain feels it has had enough input,
170
it will produce some output.
171
Okay, I will find some podcasts to listen to.
172
You can also watch entertainment shows in English or read your favorite stories in English.
173
And learn by topic so that you will collect an abundance of new concept vocabulary.
174
I recommend the English Speaking Course channel.
175
Very useful and easy to learn every day.
176
Great.
177
Thank you.
178
I will try your tips.
179
Everyone around you speaks English,
180
so it is a wonderful environment for you to learn it.
181
You can do it.
182
Can anyone give me the answer?
183
Mandy?
184
Aye.
185
The answer is topic one.
186
The answer number one.
187
Flass keeps silent.
188
Who can help Mandy?
189
Okay, Victor.
190
Are you okay, Mandy?
191
Yes, I'm fine.
192
You look sad.
193
Why can't you answer the question?
194
I saw you write it in your notebook.
195
I knew the answer, but I was not able to speak out loud.
196
I don't have enough time to translate Dutch into English.
197
That means you should learn to think and speak in English directly.
198
Do not translate word by word.
199
But how?
200
The only way is to practice every day.
201
You should surround yourself with English.
202
How?
203
Can you explain in detail?
204
Oh, please?
205
You can set the English language on your phone or even all devices surrounding it.
206
Okay, I will set up my phone right away.
207
One more example, you can write your shopping lists,
208
messages, and diaries in English.
209
Ah, got it.
210
I will attempt.
211
Thanks so much.
212
If you need help, ask me.
213
Be confident and don't give up.
214
Hey, Liam.
215
Here is Lisa, my best friend and also my neighbor.
216
Lisa, he is my classmate, Liam.
217

218

220

224
Okay, I will have a cappuccino.
225

226
A hot chocolate please.
227

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.
