Shadowing Practice: My Typical Tuesday - Learn English Speaking with Video

Les maken...
1
My Tuesdays now as an entrepreneur look very, very different to what they did a few years ago when I was working full time as a doctor.
2
So before I'd wake up at like seven o 'clock on a Tuesday morning, I would drive an hour to work.
3
I'd be at work probably from around 8 a .m to about 6 p .m.
4
And then I've got like two hours of grinding that I can do on my side business before bed.
5
Now I wake up around 8 a .m.
6
I spend the first two hours of the day hanging out with my wife and my daughter.
7
We have like a little family breakfast and then I take my daughter for a little walk.
8
And then at 10 o 'clock, I wander over into the office where I am with my team right now.
9
Usually on a Tuesday in the morning, I'm working with Owen, one of my team members, and we're creating curriculum content for an online business school that we run.
10
Then I usually go out for lunch, sometimes with the team, sometimes with my wife.
11
And then Tuesday afternoon, me and some friends have partnered up to build a series of apps.
12
And so we are building a really cool productivity app called Superfocus.
13
I spend a couple of hours vibe coding mock -ups for what the software could look like.
14
I usually finish work by 7 p .m.
15
So then I head back home, do like a little family dinner.
16
On Tuesdays, I'm in charge of baby bedtime.
17
So I'll hang out with the baby and read to her
18
and put it sleep and then either me
19
and the wife are then hanging out until bed
20
or i'll go for a run or something like
21
that even though i'm still working from 10 till 7 it's a very different style of work.
22
In fairness in medicine you're actually saving lives.
23
These days i'm not saving anyone's life.
24
I'm no longer dealing with life and death every day.
25
For me what i got fulfillment out of was teaching.
26
Whether it's like videos or online workshops or in -person workshops
27
or writing a book
28
that realization kind of took me on this path where now i'm living a life
29
that i could not have dreamed of a few years ago.

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 13 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, I'd, I'll. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: workshop /ˈwɝk.ʃɑp/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/
  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, curriculum /kəˈɹɪk.jə.ləm/, entrepreneur /ˌɑn.tɹə.pɹəˈnɝ/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • /w/ — met ronde lippen: workshop /ˈwɝk.ʃɑp/, wander /ˈwɑndɚ/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als clock, workshop, productivity.

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.
