  • Do you prefer going on holiday abroad?
  • What is your favorite place to shop?

Uitspraak om op te letten

  • De “th”-klanken: cloth /klɒθ/, thoughtful /ˈθɔːtfəl/, strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/, theft /θɛft/
  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: deforestation /dɪˌfɒɹɪsˈteɪʃən/, pollution /pəˈluʃən/, emission /ɪˈmɪʃ.ən/, relaxation /rᵻˌlækˈseɪ.ʃən/, nourish /ˈnʌɹ.ɪʃ/
  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: deforestation /dɪˌfɒɹɪsˈteɪʃən/, sustainable /səˈsteɪnəbəl/, biodiversity /ˌbaɪoʊdəˈvɚsəti/, everlasting /ˌɛvəɹˈlæstɪŋ/, familiarity /fəmɪliˈæɹɪti/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: imaginative /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪnətɪv/, overload /ˌəʊvəˈləʊd/, prioritize /pɹaɪˈɒɹ.ə.taɪz/, unwind /ʌnˈwaɪnd/, relieve /ɹɪˈliːv/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: catchy /ˈkæt͡ʃi/, relaxation /rᵻˌlækˈseɪ.ʃən/, enhance /ɪnˈhæns/, everlasting /ˌɛvəɹˈlæstɪŋ/, familiarity /fəmɪliˈæɹɪti/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: gravitate /ˈɡɹævɪteɪt/, unforgettable /ˌʌnfə(ɹ)ˈɡɛtəbəl/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/

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 deforestation, cloth, pollution.

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.
