Shadowing Practice: Making Plans for the Weekend (in Slow Dutch) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello and welcome to a new episode of Super Easy Dutch in,

long spoken spoken, Netherlands.

We are going to have it today about planning in the weekend.

We are going to Let me show you how to ask someone what he has done in the weekend

and how you can make plans for the weekend.

Look at all of them!

If it's Monday and you want to ask someone what he did in the weekend,

then there are a few examples how you can ask them later.

Have you had a nice weekend?

Yeah, I had a really nice weekend.

I did a lot with friends and did a lot of fun.

How was your weekend?

Well, it was a bit different because I had a deadline for my study.

I had to work on Saturday night and that was a bit frustrating.

What did you do the last weekend?

What have you done the last weekend?

I have done the last weekend a lot of fun things.

I spoke with friends,

we went together to the bioscoop And on Sunday I did a long walk through the city.

If you already know what the person did last weekend,

then you can ask yourself a specific question.

You might be on Friday at a party, right?

But you were still to doubt it.

Ben je uiteindelijk nog gegaan?

Ja, klopt.

Ik zat eerst te twijfelen omdat het zover fietsen was.

Maar ik ben uiteindelijk wel gegaan.

Het was supergezellig.

Ik was pas om vier uur weer thuis.

And you would go Saturday night to your parents.

How was it with your parents?

I was Saturday morning a bit brak because of the feast, so it was difficult to stand.

But I was finally gone.

We were going to drink coffee and walk together.

Saturday morning you would have a badminton game, right?

How was that game?

Did you win?

Yes, it was good.

I had the week well trained and I had two games won and one game lost.

Stel, you did something together with someone in the weekend, but you were curious about what the one there was,

then you could ask this.

The workbook of Friday was really nice, huh?

I unfortunately went away, but was it still fun?

Yes, it was still really nice.

Many people stayed a bit longer and later went to another crew.

It was so nice that the summer started again.

It was really nice that we were in the afternoon on the terrace.

I was a bit burnt, and you?

I also found it very nice to sit in the sun.

Eindelijk kan het weer.

Ik was wel goed voorbereid.

Ik had me namelijk ingesmeerd.

En zondag was het zo leuk to finally see Mario and Jeroen in the real world.

Did you also enjoy talking to them again?

Yes, I also liked to see Mario and Jeroen again.

Of course, we see them mostly online, so in the real world is more fun.

Especially Jeroen with his Brabant's happiness.

Mario came of course again late, but he was going to cook for us.

Nina Jits, what did you actually last weekend? actually done?

I learned a lot from the last weekend.

What good!

You can definitely have a lot to improve your English.

How do you do that precisely?

I am a member of Easy Dutch.

You get access to your books.

You can speak on Discord about everything,

talk about your weekend in the Weekend Kring and there is a weekly meeting to improve your Netherlands.

If you want to learn the Netherlands, be a member of Easy Dutch.

Now we are going to look at the future.

If you want to ask someone what he will do this weekend.

Then we have a few examples for you.

What are you going to do this weekend?

I will never plan for it.

I have no idea what I'm going to do this weekend.

Have you already planned this weekend for the next weekend?

Yes, I have certainly planned this weekend.

This weekend is already full.

The next weekend is already full.

And if I think about it, the next three weeks will be full.

Het weekend staat voor de deur.

Heb je iets leuks op de planning?

Ik heb zaterdag afgesproken om met wat vrienden iets leuks te doen.

But on Sunday I was, I think, even free.

I had a very busy week at work.

Stel, you already know that someone will do something in the weekend.

And you want to know more about it.

This is how you can ask questions over kunt stellen je

hebt vrijdag natuurlijk nog een deadline voor je studie moet je daar vrijdagavond nog aan zitten

ja helaas ben ik nog steeds met mijn masterscriptie bezig planning

is niet mijn sterkste kant dus ik moet vrijdag nog vier

hoofdstukken schrijven Je zei dat je zaterdag een dagje gaat zeilen met vrienden.

Weet je al waar jullie heen gaan?

Ja, klopt.

Ik heb heel veel zin om zaterdag te gaan zeilen.

Want vrijdag zit ik de hele dag binnen voor mijn deadline.

En we gaan zeilen helemaal in Friesland.

But there you can be very well and it's very nice.

100

You have of course a museum card.

101

Will you make there Sunday?

102

Yes, that's right.

103

I think that I will go in Amsterdam to your museum.

104

Because in Utrecht I have all the museum already seen.

105

Maybe I'll go to the...

106

It's a museum in Amsterdam that goes into history and I think it's very interesting.

107

If you want to imagine something to do for example an activity together,

108

we have here a few examples for you.

109

I have for Friday evening a card for the concert of Suzanne and Freek.

110

I am a great fan.

111

Are you going with me?

112

It's nice to say that you are going to Suzanne and Freek.

113

It's just not my music, so I don't have to go with it.

114

But maybe you could ask Mario?

115

I had Mario already asked, but he didn't want to go with it.

116

So I'm going to go in my one.

117

We need to make a video again for Easy Dutch.

120

I can't wait for the video.

121

What a nice thing that we can make a new video again.

122

I have no idea for a subject, but maybe our viewers will.

123

124

126

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.
