Hey everyone, today I'm going to give you the dialogue type of video with which you're already familiar with.
2
If you're not, on the other hand, here's a video you can watch where I explain this format at the beginning of it.
3
So, in this video, you and I are going to be practicing your speaking.
4
We're going to work on ordering a drink at Starbucks
5
and the following dialogue is a real conversation I had with a barista at Starbucks.
6
I'm a huge coffee drinker, so ordering coffee is just what I do on a regular basis.
7
So for my fellow coffee lovers, this dialogue will be very worthwhile practicing.
8
And the way it works is one line is for me and the other one is for you.
9
You will see them on the screen.
10
I'm gonna say my line and you're gonna read your line on the screen out loud.
11
And that's gonna be your response.
12
And then vice versa.
13
The first line will be yours and the second mine.
14
So let's start.
15
Hey, how are you doing today?
16
Great.
17
What can I get for you?
18
Yes, it is sweet.
19
But we also have just cold brew black with nothing added to it.
20
In this drink, however, the vanilla creamer that goes into it is already sweet.
21
Yes, we have coconut and almond milk.
22
Let me check.
23
Yes, it says that they both contain 5 grams of sugar.
24

Oh, I personally love caramel ribbon crunch Frappuccino.

Also, if you like cinnamon, you can add cinnamon and it just makes the taste richer.

36
Okay, well that's not too bad.

- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/, gram /ˈɡɹæm/
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 cinnamon, coconut, dialogue.
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.
