1
Hello, dear learners.
2
Here is a small English habit that can make a big difference.
3
Imagine someone asks you, is Anna coming tonight?
4
You are not sure.
5
You think she is coming, but you don't know for cert.
6
A lot of learners immediately say, I don't know.
7
And sometimes that's exactly right.
8
But very often you do know something, you just aren't completely sure.
9
In everyday English, we have simple ways to show that.
10
Instead of giving a hard yes or no, you can say things like I guess, probably, as far as I know, or I could be wrong.
11
Today, you'll practice six of these expressions in real sentences.
12
Let's start with one of the easiest.
13
I guess means, this is what I think but I'm not completely sure.
14
I guess we should leave now before the traffic gets worse.
15
I guess this place gets pretty busy on Friday nights.
16
Now try probably.
17
Use probably when you think something is likely to happen or be true.
18
She'll probably call you back when she finishes work.
19
She'll probably call you back when she finishes work.
20
You're probably right, but let's check before we decide.
21
You're probably right, but let's check before we decide.
22
Here's another very useful one, as far as I know.
23
It means this is true based on the information you have now.
24
You are not promising that you know everything.
25
As far as I know, the meeting starts at 9.
26
As far as I know, the meeting starts at 9.
27
As far as I know,
28
she doesn't work here anymore.
29
Now listen to apparently.
30
We often use it when we learned something from another person, a message, or something we saw.
31
You believe it is true, but the information didn't come directly from you.
32
Apparently, they changed the plan after we left yesterday.
33
Apparently, he didn't get my message this morning.
34
Next is From What I Can Tell.
35
This one is useful when you're looking at a situation and making your best judgment.
36
From what I can tell,
37
everything is working fine now.
38
From what I can tell, they aren't ready to leave.
39
From what I can tell, they aren't ready to leave.
40
And finally, one of the most useful phrases when you want to disagree gently.
41
I could be wrong, but...
42
It doesn't mean you think you're wrong.
43
It simply shows that you're open to another possibility.
44
I could be wrong, but I think he's already gone.
45
I could be wrong, but this sounds like the best option.
46
You don't need to sound completely sure to sound natural.
47
Sometimes, I guess, probably, or I could be wrong is exactly what real English sounds like.
48
So don't aim for perfect answers.
49
Aim for honest, natural English, one phrase at a time.

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.
