- De “th”-klanken: bath /bɑːθ/, theater /ˈθi(ə)tɚ/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: delicious /dɪˈlɪ.ʃəs/, decoration /ˌdɛkəˈɹeɪʃən/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, decoration /ˌdɛkəˈɹeɪʃən/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, sandwich /ˈsæn(d).wɪd͡ʒ/, candle /ˈkæn.dəl/, grandpa /ˈɡɹæm.pɑː/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: goodbye /ɡʊdˈbaɪ/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, grill /ɡɹɪl/, grandpa /ˈɡɹæm.pɑː/, grandparent /ˈɡɹæn(d)pɛəɹənt/
- /w/ — met ronde lippen: homework /ˈhoʊmˌwɝk/, sandwich /ˈsæn(d).wɪd͡ʒ/
Zo oefen je met deze video

- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als lesson, juice, delicious.
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.
