Hi!
2
How are you doing?
3
It's good to see you again.
4
Welcome back!
5
Today we are going to do more shadowing practice.
6
Now before we begin, let me give you a little introduction on how we should do our shadowing practice together.
7
When we do the shadow exercise, we do not stop the audio.
8
We do not pause the audio.
9
So if you make a mistake while speaking, don't worry, just keep going.
10
Try to speak with me at the same time.
11
When you are shadowing, the goal is not perfect grammar.
12
Your goal is rhythm, stress, and flow.
13
Our shadowing practice will be broken into three parts.
14
So in the first part, we will speak at a natural speed.
15
Then we'll practice speaking the same thing, but in a slower speed.
16
And then finally at a natural speed again.
17
Remember to speak out loud.
18
Don't just say it in your head.
19
Say it out loud. And that's it.
20
All right, are you ready?
21
Let's begin.
22
Every morning, I wake up around 7am.
23
I check my phone for messages, but I try not to stay on it too long.
24
I make coffee, stand by the window, and let my brain wake up.
25
If I rush too much in the morning, my whole day just feels off.
26
By the time I start work, I want things to feel calm and organized.
27
Sometimes the day goes exactly as planned.
28
Other times everything changes by noon.
29
That's just how life works.
30
All right now time to try it again but slower.
31
Every morning I wake up around 7 a.m.
32
I check my phone for messages, but I try not to stay on it for too long.
33
I make coffee, stand by the window, and just let my brain wake up.
34
If I rush too much in the morning, the whole day just feels off.
35
By the time I start work, I want things to feel calm and organized.
36
Sometimes the day goes exactly as planned.
37

It never really stops.

59
Some things can wait until tomorrow.
60
If I don't slow down, I end up feeling burnt out.
61
Taking short breaks helps more than people realize.
62
Even five minutes can reset your focus.

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.
