Shadowing Practice: What do you do in your free time? Hobbies 😊 || This English Malarkey #14 - Learn English Speaking with Video

Thank you.

makes sense oh yeah so when i was younger i used to be really into music

so i'd play a lot of guitar and keyboard

but now with a bit of reduced time i find i can't learn as well

so instead i play it just casually

and i find sports just a bit easier to manage

so that's why i've changed karate

but um yeah i mean i used to read a lot in my spare time as well

but now i got a phone um it's a lot easier to waste your time

and not read as much but yes yeah but apart from

that no not really i never really did too much

but yeah all right that's about it thanks very much do

you think your hobbies have changed since you're younger at all me no yeah yeah i like to be outside

and yourself i think they've expanded

so the opportunities have increased especially the more you travel

so living here in cambridge is different than living in louisville kentucky so So obviously with more access,

more things to do, different kinds of people and exposure and venues, absolutely.

Yes, I would say they have changed because obviously since I'm working I have more money to spend on my hobbies.

So do you think your hobbies have changed a bit since you were younger?

I mean you probably weren't drinking when you were too young.

Yeah, definitely.

There's obviously a big change because when you're young it's all about imagination and things.

I think a lot of kids these days are a bit sort of tied up in technology, whereas back in the day, you'd sort of play a bit of manhunt.

That's loud.

But yeah, no, it was all mud pies and mud pies and cowboys and robbers and stuff back in the day.

But yeah, definitely changes, especially when you start working for a living.

I understand that. And yourself?

I mean I've been climbing since I was five so mostly just stuck with that for the most part.

I mean I did a lot of reading when I was longer, like casual reading and now obviously I mostly just read for my university course

so not so much casual anymore but quite good fun still.

Well thanks very much guys, we appreciate that.

Do you prefer to have your free time alone or with other people?

No definitely with other people.

I mean I don't mind standing by myself but

if I want to have fun I go out with my friends

so do you prefer

to do your hobbies or free time with other people

or by yourself I like to swim she likes the hike I'd prefer to swim with swimmers

if anybody else I tend to prefer group activities so even

when I do group exercise fitness body pump the lesbils classes the more the merrier

so depends on my girlfriend things like that obviously again it's a bit lonely

but if you go to the pub on your own it can be quite nice

but it's solitude again it's obviously always cooler with friends yeah

exactly well thanks very much for your time appreciate it

and do you prefer to do your free time with other people

or alone with other people I always go there with my

friends okay very nice thank you very much where exactly are

you from from Lanzhut that's near Munich she's from Lanzhut you

guys watching from Lanzhut I just can't believe it amazing

so I'm really glad to meet you thank you very much

and so do you prefer to have free time alone

or with other people generally with other people yeah I'm a

social being definitely very nice thank you for your help that's all I appreciate it

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.
