Hi guys, this is Jenny.
2
Welcome to day 16 of our 100-day challenge.
3
In this video, you will practice your speaking with me.
4
And if you're new here, I explained what challenge this is in the video up here.
5
So go check it out and I'll be waiting for you to join.
6
Okay, back to me.
7
And as always, I'll explain the meaning of the expression first in Korean, and then we'll move on to our speaking drills.
8
The free script is on my tea history blog.
9
The link is in the description and my comment down below.
10
So go check it out.
11
And I've got a question for you at the end of the video.
12
So make sure to stick around and practice your writing as well.
13
Alright then, let's go ahead and start practicing!
14
Today's expression is, can tell.
15
Tell is, we know everything.
16
We know everything.
17
We know everything.
18
But we've written a lot of words in the sentence.
19
But it's not that you can't do it.
20
But the meaning of that is not that it's not that it's not.
21
But here is the idea of the idea.
22
No. I know.
23
I'm dating someone.
24
No. I'm not aware of.
25
I'm aware of.
26
Be aware of.
27
This idea is not.
28
It's not that it's not that it's not.
29
So, I'm not aware of.
30
I'm not aware of.
31
And then I'll say, he says, he's not gonna do that.
32
He's a good person, and he's a good person.
33
So, the Korean terminology is not going to be clear, but there's a lot of people who believe it.
34
But in the case, there's a lot of people who believe it, and they're going to do it.
35
You see what you do when you think about it, and you're going to take the person and do it.
36
There are some new things.
37
How can you see this?
38
How can you see that?
39
You've seen that you've done this.
40
You've seen that you've done this.
41
You have seen that you've done this.
42
How can you see this?
43
A's why A's why I'm a-talking idea.
44
This is an example of the idea.
45
And it's going to be for you.
46
I'm saying this is something I can't see you.
47
I'm not sure how to buy this.
48
I see how I buy this.
49
I thought this is something I bought.
50
I can tell.
51
The 형태는 거의 대부분의 경우에 can이나 could랑 같이 쓰여요.
52
약간 판단을 할 수 있겠다, 알겠다 이런 뉘앙스 때문인 것 같아요 can, could, tell 뒤에는 뭘 판단할 수 있겠는지 그 목적으로 넣어주시면 되고요.
53
can이나 could는 이제 시즈 차이인 거고 이거 만약에 뒤집잖아요 can't, couldn't tell로 가면 모르겠다 라고 해석이 되겠죠.
54
왜냐하면 can, could, tell은 알겠다였으니까요 can tell, could tell, 그런 것 같더라, 알겠더라.

What You'll Practice in This Lesson

Today's lesson dives into a common but often overlooked conversational phrase: "can tell." You'll learn how to use this expression naturally in everyday speech, with practical examples and speaking drills to build your confidence. By the end, you'll not only understand its meaning but also be able to incorporate it into your own conversations smoothly.

Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Focus On

  • Can tell: To perceive or understand something intuitively (e.g., "I can tell you're tired").
  • Be aware of: To have knowledge of something (e.g., "She's aware of the problem").
  • Speaking drills: Structured practice to improve pronunciation and fluency.
  • Conversational tone: The natural, casual way people speak in daily interactions.
  • Intuitive understanding: Grasping meaning without explicit explanation.

Practice Tips for Mastering the Shadowing Technique

The video's pace is conversational, making it perfect for practicing the shadowing technique. Here's how to make the most of it: Start by listening to short clips (5-10 seconds) and repeating them immediately, mimicking the tone and rhythm. Focus on how "can tell" is stressed—often with a slight emphasis on "tell" to convey certainty. If you struggle, use a shadowing app or shadowing site to slow down the audio and break down the phrases. Remember, shadow speech isn't just about copying words; it's about matching the speaker's intonation and pauses. For extra practice, write down your own sentences using "can tell" and read them aloud, then compare them to the video's examples. Over time, this will help you use the phrase as naturally as a native.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
