Welcome to English in a Minute.
2
If you have ever heard people saying goodbye in American English, you probably have heard this.
3
Make sure to stay in touch.
4
People who don't see each other often like to find ways to stay in touch.
5
But what does that mean?
6
It was great to see you at the class reunion.
7
Now make sure to stay in touch.
8
I want to talk to you before our next reunion.
9
I will.
10
I'll stay in touch and I'll call you sometime next week.
11
Staying in touch or keeping in touch says that you want to communicate with someone.
12
It means you want to keep in contact, maybe by phone or email, even though you don't see that person often.
13
Make sure to stay in touch.
14
And that's English in a Minute.

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.
