1
Hello, how are you doing?
2
I hope you've been well.
3
It's good to see you again.
4
And today, we are going to do another shadowing practice.
5
I hope you're ready.
6
Today is going to be a very good shadow practice.
7
So, before we get started, let me explain if this is your first time here on my channel with my shadowing practice videos.
8
Shadowing is a practice where you speak with me, not after me.
9
So when I speak, you speak.
10
But you do not pause the video to speak.
11
You speak with me.
12
Please try to not pause and keep going.
13
Don't worry about mistakes.
14
Your job is to copy the rhythm, stress, and flow of English.
15
This is how my shadowing practice will happen.
16
There are three sections.
17
In the first section, I will speak at a natural speed.
18
In the second part, I will speak in a slower speed.
19
Then the third part and final part, we will speak again at a natural speed together.
20
Remember, try to speak out loud.
21
I know it can be uncomfortable, but that's just part of the practice.
22
And it's how fluency grows.
23
So let's get started.
24
Most mornings I wake up before my alarm.
25
I lie in bed for a minute and think about the day ahead.
26
Some days feel manageable.
27
Some days already feel long even before they have started.
28
Other days feel already long before they even start.
29
I usually make coffee first, not because I'm tired but because it helps me slow down.
30
I check my phone, skim a few messages, and then put it away.
31
If I start the day feeling rushed, everything else feels rushed too.
32
All right, now let's try it at a slower speed.
33
Most mornings, I wake up before my alarm.
34
I lie in bed for a minute and think about the day ahead.
35
Some days feel manageable.
36
Other days already feel long before they even start.
37
I usually make coffee first because I'm tired but because it helps me slow down.
38
I check my phone, skim a few messages, and then put it away.
39

40
Great job!
41
Now let's speed it back up to natural speed.

Work takes up most of my energy during the week.
54
There are always tasks to finish and people to respond to.
55
Even when I'm not working, I'm often thinking about work.
56
Some days are productive.
57
I feel focused and clear.
58
Other days I feel scattered.
59
Like I'm busy but not actually getting much done.
60
I've learned that stress doesn't always mean something is wrong.
61
Sometimes it just means I care.
62
Alright, now let's slow down.

84
Talking to people in another language takes energy.
85
Even simple conversations can feel tiring.
86
You're listening, translating, thinking, and responding all at once.
87
Sometimes I replay conversations in my head.
88
I wonder if I sounded natural.
89
I wonder if I said the right thing.
90
But most people aren't judging.
91
They're focused on themselves.
92
The more I speak, the less I overthink.
93
Alright, you know what to do.

Round four.
117
When the weekend arrives, I try not to fill every hour.
118
I used to think rest had to be earned.
119
And now I know rest is necessary.
120
Sometimes the best plan is having no plan at all.

142
Learning English as an adult isn't easy.
143
You're busy.
144
You're tired.
145
And progress doesn't always feel obvious.
146
Some days you feel confident.
147
Other days you feel stuck.
148
That doesn't mean you're failing.
149
It means you're human.
150
Fluency doesn't come from perfection.
151
It comes from showing up again and again.
152

173
Great job everyone!
174
If you made it this far, you've done something incredible today!
175
And something very important for your learning journey.
176
You spoke English without stopping, without overthinking, or translating every word.
177
This is how fluency is built.
178
Now, the purpose of this video is to help you practice speaking without stopping.
179
However, some people would rather pause the video and repeat what I'm saying after I say it. That is fine too.
180
I think everyone has their own personal way that works best for them.
181
But if you want to mix the strategies, then I definitely suggest that as well.
182
Alright, and that will conclude this video for today.
183
I hope you found it useful and helpful, and I just hope you enjoyed it.

186
I really enjoy making them, and I love the feedback that I'm seeing in the comment section.
187
I've had so many nice comments and many people are asking for more shadowing videos so here you are.
188
Thank you very much and I'll see you in the next video.
189
Have a nice day!
190

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.
