Right here you will find many topics relating to the English language and how it is used,
5
with new words and phrases along with lots of other super -duper stuff as well, all crammed into each episode.
6
Today's edition is what we call a pilot show.
7
A pilot show is a programme that has been made to test how well it works.
8
You make a pilot show to see how the audience reacts to it.
9
That is what I am doing today.

But enough of that.
11
Let's get on with the first ever Mr Duncan's Full English right now.

27
Do you ever stretch?
28
These are my socks.
29
I have many pairs of socks.
30
There is something wrong with this pair.
31
Can you see the problem?
32
These socks have holes in them.
33
They are worn out.
34
If something is worn out, then we can say that it is no longer useful.

37
You can feel worn out too if you are tired after working hard.
38
I have had such a busy day.
39
I'm worn out.
40
Oh, I feel so nervous today, because of course this is the first ever full English episode.
41
Sometimes when you do something for the first time, you might feel a little bit nervous and apprehensive.
42
Of course it is normal to feel this way.
43
I still remember the first time I ever taught in a classroom.
44
I was so nervous.

47
I had a case of the jitters.
48
I was on edge.
49
I felt apprehensive.
50
Of course, that feeling soon wears off as you gain experience.
51
The more you do something, the better you become at it.
52
And the better you become, the less nervous you will feel doing it in the future.
53
Flowers are so beautiful, don't you think?
54
They have wonderful colours in summer and the fragrance from them is so sweet.

- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: finger /ˈfɪŋɡɚ/, fragrance /ˈfɹeɪɡɹən(t)s/

- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als stretch, flower, sock.
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.
