1
Hello everyone and welcome back to another shadowing practice.
2
If you're new here, welcome.
3
My name is Claire and I am a native speaker from the U.S.
4
but I am also an English teacher and a professionally trained singer.
5
So a big focus here on my channel is pronunciation and shadowing practices.
6
So if you like this video, there's more where that came from in my shadowing practice playlist, which I'll link here for you to go check out.
7
The purpose of these videos is to practice your pronunciation specifically in American English as that's the accent I have.
8
But it's not just about getting rid of any accent you may have, but just feeling more confident in your speaking skills and honing your pronunciation of words and phrases, which includes your overall tone and inflection and word stress so that you can be understood when you speak English.
9
So if that all sounds good to you, then let's jump right in and begin our shadowing practice.
10
So the format is to repeat after me and I will point out any specific pronunciations or intonations that I think would be good for you as an English learner to focus on.
11
And then you'll have the opportunity to shadow the sentences.
12
So that's saying it with me.
13
So first repeat, and then we'll shadow.
14
And for this shadowing practice, I thought we could focus on contractions, specifically contractions with the word will.
15
for that I am going to use the future conditional.
16
If you want to learn more about the conditionals in English, I will also link the video that I did on that here, but we'll practice talking in the future conditionals and practice contracting pronouns with the verb will.
17
Okay, let's get started.
18
This weekend, my friends and I are planning to hang out.
19
You repeat.
20
This weekend.
21
This weekend.
22
my friends and I, my friends and I, so we can really link those words together, my friends and I, so we can almost think of the word and just becoming an nn sound.
23
My friends and I, My friends and I are planning to hang out.
24
If it's sunny, if it's sunny, we'll meet at the park around noon.
25
Wool meat.
26
So here we have our first contraction with will.
27
So if it's not in a contraction, this would be we will meet.
28
But we often contract the word will with the pronoun.
29
So we say will, will.
30
And a lot of people might say we'll, we'll meet at the park.
31
But many native speakers will pronounce this word as a schwa sound, this uh sound.
32
We'll meet, we'll meet.
33
We'll meet at the park around noon.
34
If I get there early.
35
If I get there early.
36
I'll be sure.
37
I'll be sure.
38
Here we have the words I will contracted to become all.
39
All.
40
Again, the word I does not need to be fully pronounced to be I'll, I'll be.
41
You might have learned that pronunciation and it's not wrong, but in rapid speech, it's often I'll, I'll be, I'll be sure, I'll be sure.
42
So it's this schwa sound again.
43
I'll be sure.
44
Of course, I'll be sure is also correct.
45
I'll be sure a little bit faster.
46
I'll be sure.
47
I'll be sure.
48
I'll be sure to grab a good spot by the trees.
49
I'll be sure to grab a good spot by the trees.
50
If Sam comes...
51
If Sam comes...
52
He'll bring his guitar.
53
He'll bring, he'll bring, not he'll bring.
54
We don't generally pronounce this contraction, which is he will as he'll, but we say he'll, he'll, like a short I sound.
55
He'll bring his guitar.
56
He'll bring his guitar.
57
and if Olivia comes, and if Olivia comes, she'll bring, here we have she will contracted to become shall, shall.
58
The schwa sound again, shul and then we just have the L sound at the end.
59
She'll bring, she'll bring snacks because she always does.
60
She'll bring snacks because she always does.
61
and of course cuz is a shortened way to say because but many native speakers will leave off the b of because and just say cuz.
62
Now if you struggle with the l sound in these will contractions then I would suggest not having the L sound too far back in the back of your throat.
63
We don't want it to be too dark because in American English we do have very dark L's in most words especially if the L comes at the end of the word we pronounce it very far back in the throat but if that is difficult for you, don't place the L at the back of the throat on purpose.
64
So you don't necessarily need to pronounce it shul, shul, really far back, but keep it nice and forward and light.
65
Shul, shul.
66
And I can definitely understand what you're saying.
67
Shul brings snacks.
68
Shul brings snacks.
69
I would say if you're struggling with the L, pronounce it more forward, shill, the tip of the tongue touching your top front teeth, shill.
70
Pronounce it like that at first and once you sort of get the hang of it and it naturally may darken over time, shill, shill, then that's also fine and how a lot of native speakers in American English speak.
71
If it rains, if it rains, we won't go to the park.
72
Here we have the contraction for will not, which becomes won't.
73
Or of course, we usually stop the T at the end of this word.
74
Won't.
75
Won't.
76
We won't go to the park.
77
And they'll probably all come to my place.
78
Here we have the contraction for they will.
79
They'll.
80
They'll.
81
And they'll probably all come to my place.
82
I'm looking forward to seeing my friends this weekend either way.
83
In this sentence, I'll just point out that the word to is often pronounced to in rapid speech.
84
I'm looking forward to seeing, to seeing.
85
I'm looking forward to seeing my friends this weekend either way.
86
Okay, now we will shadow the whole thing together.
87
So this time you're going to say it with me.
88
I won't stop until the end.
89
And you may want to repeat this part of the video several times to really become used to the pronunciation and how you form the words with your mouth.
90
So repeat it as many times as you like until you feel comfortable with the pronunciation, the intonation, the inflection.
91
So try to match me as best you can as we read this together.
92
Okay, here we go.
93
This weekend, my friends and I are planning to hang out.
94
If it's sunny, we'll meet at the park around noon.
95
If I get there early, I'll be sure to grab a good spot by the trees.
96
If Sam comes, he'll bring his guitar.
97
And if Olivia comes, she'll bring snacks because she always does.
98
If it rains, we won't go to the park.
99
And they'll probably all come to my place.
100
I'm looking forward to seeing my friends this weekend either way.
101
Okay guys, so repeat the shadowing section as many times as you like.
102
Go back and if you still have questions, you can repeat individual phrases after me as many times as you like as well.
103
I really hope this video was helpful.
104
Specifically pronouncing contractions with the word will.
105
Let me know in the comments if you have any specific words or tenses or concepts that you want to focus on in an upcoming shadowing practice.
106
I do read all the comments and I have made a list because there's many more shadowing practices to come.
107
So I will be sure to cover as many of the words or topics that you would like me to in these videos.
108
Of course, if you are a member on my channel, those comments do get priority.

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.
