Shadowing Practice: Logic of English's Essentials Program Flip-through II Entire Program - ALL Levels, ALL Resources!! - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hey homeschool friends, welcome back to the channel.

So in today's video, we are going to be talking all about the Logic of English Essentials program.

And so I have taken out all the books, I've taken out all the resources, all the flashcards, all the tiles,

everything that is included to do the full and entire Essentials program.

And it is a bit confusing.

And a lot of you wanted me to make this video to just kind of show you what's all included.

And so I hope that is what I'm able to do for you today

and that you are able to get a glimpse and figure out if it is right for your family, right for your kiddos.

So let's just hop in and I will share all of my resources with you.

So hi, my name is Angie.

Welcome to the channel if you're new here or welcome back if you've been coming for a while.

So like I said, we are going to be talking all about the logic of english's essentials program today

and my plan is to take you through kind of an

overview of all the resources to look at what you would need

if you wanted to do this with your kiddos as well

as like how the program works like how do you enter into it

because i think that is the main area where people get confused

and then i'm going to take you through a full unit

to give you a real feel for how the program is set up

so let me just flip the camera around and we will do all of that.

All right so I have it set up for flipping through and showing you all the resources.

You should have just seen a clip where I showed the entire set of resources

and yes it's a lot and yes I think you need all of it

and we'll discuss a little bit of that as we go

but I would say essentials is basically Logic of English's program post phonics although you'll see

and I will touch upon the fact

that there is kind of a little bit of a reading

component I feel like especially for my kids I want them to be at the place where they're reading pretty fluently.

For instance, my son is nine years old in third grade.

When we started this, pretty much after he was really getting a handle on reading, we would sit together and he would read early chapter books to me.

So we're still sitting and reading, but he's also reading by himself.

So that's pretty much the level I wanted him to be at before we started this program.

And this program, not only, like I said, includes a little bit of reading, which I'll get back to, but mostly and what drew me to this program was the spelling.

The spelling, grammar, and vocabulary and then the fact

that they're kind of all interwoven together into one program that you kind of piggybacks off each other if that makes sense.

So they're not teaching separate concepts they're kind of teaching similar concepts from those different major pillars of language arts

and so that is the scope of essentials

so my plan is to take my son through it it'll

probably take three -ish years we started kind of late in his third grade year

so i'm expecting to take fourth grade fifth grade

and finish out in sixth grade with this program

and the reason is is

that you loop through this program three different times based on the level of your kids

so let me show you the teacher guides.

So there are four teacher guides that you need

and you need them right away which took me a little bit to understand.

So that's partly why I'm making this video

because once you decide where you're going to start which we're going to talk about the placement test in just a second.

Once you decide where you're going to start then you start at unit one in either level A, B, or C and then you go to units eight through five in level A,

16 to 22 in level A, 23 to 30 in level A.

And then you would loop back to this same teacher's guide and this same set of student worksheets.

Because there's some worksheets in here that you won't use right away because right here it's labeled as a level C worksheet.

So the first time you go through it, say you start with level A, the first time you go through this program you will not use this worksheet.

You will not use it the second time.

You will use it the third time you go through this units one through seven.

So you really do need the whole set of textbooks.

I wish it wasn't set up that way, but I understand a bit of her reasoning why it's set up that way.

It involves some review and bringing it back and touching upon some of the similar concepts at a deeper level.

And I do like that.

And that does make sense to me as a former educator.

So these are the teacher's guides

and I will be taking you through one of these teacher guides I'm actually going to pick a full unit

so you can get a feel for this entire scope of what's being taught in a unit

because then the units have a similar format and setup

so we will do that kind of at the end but those are the teacher's guides

And then the student guides or the student workbooks are here.

And like you saw when I just opened it up there, they are mostly black and white.

And honestly, I really like it.

They're pretty stripped down.

And to me, that really works out.

So it gives the kids a little bit of practice.

It does involve some review and some repetition and some spiraling.

And I really like that, especially when it comes to the spelling list, which we'll discuss when I get to the spelling part

but this is just a little bit of a look inside into what the student guides look like.

So those are the workbooks and they're just a very central part of the program but so are all the manipulatives.

Okay so when you're first looking at this program all of these manipulatives will seem overwhelming and I totally get it.

We personally, maybe I personally, really do like a flashcard based system.

It really helps with memorization.

It helps with just retention of the material.

And so this is what you need to do the entire program, all three levels.

And one of the most important set of cards is these basic phonogram flashcards.

And so these are your phonograms.

And the way Logic of English teaches phonograms is it teaches all the sounds

that a phonogram could make or a unit of sound.

And like this unit of sound says these four sounds.

So uh, U, O, U.

And so when the kids are practicing, we will practice all four of those sounds.

And then it does have some help on the back for

you as a parent to remember how exactly to say all of those sounds.

And I believe there's also some videos online of the creator of the program, Denise Eide, where she goes through the sounds of all of the phonograms

and I will link that all below if I find it

because that is really helpful and that is really challenging

if this isn't a program that you used to teach your kids to read.

So the basic phonogram flashcards are really important and those kind of go with these ones.

So these are the game cards and

so these are the phonograms just in game cards and And

so that way you can play a lot of different games like Go Fish

and various things like that using these cards and the kids won't be like, do you have an A?

They'll say, do you have an A?

100

So they'll be constantly practicing those sounds.

101

So I really do like that.

102

And then it comes to these cards here.

103

So these are advanced phonograms.

104

Actually, let me talk about these.

105

So these are the ones that really don't start coming out until later, until like Love Will B.

106

So this is like jalapeno or fjord.

107

So for instance, there's some of those more advanced, unique phonograms in the English language.

108

And so those are important.

109

I haven't really touched those yet because we are on level A.

110

But then there is these ones, which we use a lot.

111

So far, it's the spelling rules and the grammar cards.

112

I really like these.

113

And so especially some of these spelling rules where they can practice like English words do not end in I, U, V or J.

114

And then it gives some examples of how and why that works that way.

115

And when you're going over these spelling rules, it'll sometimes be during your spelling time,

116

but it'll be also during some other lessons as well to really cement some of these rules while you're spelling.

117

So those are helpful while a student is reading, but it's even more helpful while they're learning to spell,

118

which is really what comes after a solid phonics program is to focus more in on spelling.

119

So I'd say this is kind of central to the Essentials program in my opinion, or maybe it's just because I really needed that for my child.

120

But we also have grammar flashcards.

121

So Essentials also teaches grammar.

122

And again, it teaches it with these flashcards.

123

And it has like a definition, an adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun.

124

And it gives examples on the back.

125

And there are quite a few of these.

126

And you use them throughout the whole program.

127

So for the kind of complete three years that you would do this program, you will go through all of these cards.

128

So that really tackles spelling and grammar, but then there's also vocabulary.

129

And the way Logic of English teaches its vocabulary is through these morphine flashcards.

130

Where the phonograms are units of sound, the morphines are units of meaning, like ER.

131

It means more.

132

And you can see also that on the back they are labeled based on what level.

133

Level A being blue, level B being green, and level C being this orange color.

134

And so you can see that level C is really shifting into a lot of understanding English words,

135

like really digging into Greek and Latin roots.

136

And so that is a huge part of their program.

137

And you can see this huge chunk of flashcards.

138

And this is just for the first seven units.

139

So units one through seven.

140

And then you can see I haven't even opened these yet, but they came with what I ordered.

141

So these are for the other units.

142

And so by the end of it, you'll have all of these cards that tackle different roots that are important for understanding the English language.

143

And so you can really see how your kids will get just a firm grasp on English

144

and to do it in a way that really integrates grammar with vocabulary and spelling and reading with all the phonics.

145

To me it makes a lot of sense and

146

so those are important resources and then you also have these game tiles

147

and this is for sometimes

148

if you just want to play around with words in a different way

149

and it'll pull out some phonics game tiles and

150

so I have them here in a big baggie

151

and then you also have some other important resources most of these are quick reference guides

152

which actually are quite handy one here is your steps for spelling analysis of

153

which I will get to when I talk about the spelling section

154

because this is key this is probably what tipped me over into picking this program

155

but then you also have a quick reference for all the different phonograms as well as all the different spelling rules.

156

So here's the spelling rules.

157

So if like a word is spelled a certain way

158

and you're not quite sure what the rule is you can pull out this without having to dig through all the cards.

159

And same for your grammar rules is it'll help you kind of pull this out

160

or your kids pull it out if they need it.

161

And then the essentials program also uses a spelling journal which I really like.

162

So having a struggling speller it is hard for him sometimes

163

to remember why certain words are spelled a certain way especially

164

if they sound the same sounds like

165

and they'll give you the rules as to when to use them

166

and so when we come across certain words or

167

when we're prompted in the teacher's guide we can add those words to a list

168

and he can add more words to this so

169

if he has some words

170

that are a little bit tricky as to why they say a long e

171

or something like that and there's so many different options for how English spells the long E sound.

172

I feel like the more it's used the more they'll see some of these words and it'll just really help them out.

173

And so that is a spelling journal and so I got one for each of my older kids.

174

So like I said my son is already using this program

175

and he will continue to use it in fourth grade

176

and then I got another copy for my daughter who will be in third grade next year.

177

So those are some of the extra resources and kind of how they work within the program.

178

Okay the other two aspects of this program I'm just going to pop up pictures to let you know about them.

179

So like I said Essentials also includes multi -level reading.

180

A lot of that is just pulling in the phonics

181

but they also do have a product called the Essential Reader

182

and you will see in your teacher's guides times when it will have the optional Essentials Reader.

183

So this is really encouraged for really all students.

184

So all students could use this, especially struggling readers.

185

So ones who are, have maybe exited their phonics program, whether it be the Logic of English Foundations program or a different phonics program, and they still need significant help with reading,

186

there is a whole reader that will only follow the phonograms as they're being taught.

187

And so it's really helpful.

188

It also includes comprehension questions, as well as some writing prompts.

189

We decided not to use that because I have a different program

190

that I love and I use for those two aspects for readers as well as composition.

191

So for us, we didn't need it, but it did look like a really solid program.

192

And especially if you don't have those additional programs, I also want to talk a little bit about the online option.

193

So Logic of English has an online option.

194

And to my knowledge, it is everything needed.

195

It basically is Denise Eide.

196

Like I said, she's the creator of the program.

197

And I believe she takes you through all of the different units and she teaches it all.

198

So like if there's a review, she'll take the students through the review.

199

But as for what you need resource wise, I'm not sure.

200

I'm not the right person because we decided not to go with that.

201

And so that is a huge asset if you are interested in an online option.

202

So I'll link that down below as well.

203

Just know I can't really speak to it because we're not using it.

204

But those are all the resources.

205

And so next I want to talk about how the program works and how to get started.

206

So the best place to start is the placement test

207

and you can find that in the teacher's guide for units 1 through 7.

208

You can also find it online.

209

I think I just searched for it and it popped right up and you can print it out.

210

And I liked that because then I was able to write.

211

on it and keep it for our records as to where we were when we started the program.

212

So this is great.

213

So this is the placement test and it takes you through some key parts.

214

So phonemic awareness, reading the sounds A to Z, handwriting, reading, reading words, as well as spelling.

215

And here's the reading words for the placement test.

216

And so you'll walk through this with your students and you'll be marking off if they were able to read these words, if they were able to spell these words

217

and then it gives you guidance

218

but the spelling portion is really what I was most interested in

219

and because of the spelling portion that's what led us to use level A

220

but I'm not going to talk too much about our personal

221

experience in this video I want it to be more just resource -heavy

222

and I have a video coming in a couple weeks where

223

I just talk all about our story what led us to it the essentials program

224

and everything so stay tuned for that

225

and I'll link it down below once I upload it this is very useful especially

226

if you don't come from Logic of English foundations but even

227

if you do honestly every child is unique and

228

so being able to take the placement test

229

and to figure out what level you're going to start at is very helpful

230

so once you have done

231

that then like I said you will be following these lessons based on your level

232

and like I said there's level a b and c

233

and I really can't speak to like is level A supposed to be third grade?

234

Can it be second grade?

235

Can it be fourth grade?

236

I'm not sure.

237

I think it just based on what your child needs

238

and where they're placed and then you can just work your way through the program.

239

So what I want to do next is take you through a unit.

240

So like I said you have four teacher's guides

241

and each of the teacher's guides has a set of units

242

and each of the units has five parts

243

and each of these parts are really pretty consistent like part

244

two is always spelling for instance what I want to do

245

is I'm going to take you maybe through something in the

246

middle we'll just do lesson 16 what I'll do is I'll go through level B

247

so this is pretty much smack in the middle of the whole essentials program

248

if you start at level A

249

but the important part here is I really want to show you how to make sense of this teacher's guide

250

and how to use it with your students so to get into So Unit 16, it always starts with a big overview of like if there's any new phonograms that are being introduced.

251

And here it's like for level C, you actually have an extra advanced phonogram also that they're going to be working through.

252

You have which spelling rules are they going to be talking about as well as, for instance, maybe the short U in the spelling journal.

253

So let's just start.

254

So here it says part one, essential concepts.

255

So I feel like part one is very important and it's often the longest part.

256

So you can see I'm flipping through a lot of pages here and now I get to part two.

257

So essential concepts will introduce phonograms and spelling rules for the week.

258

So this is probably one of the most crucial aspects of the unit.

259

And so I'll just take you through this.

260

So it always gives you materials, what you should pull out, which phonogram flashcards you should pull out, game tiles it says, as well as some spelling rule flashcards,

261

and some extra stuff if you are doing level C.

262

So always pay attention to these boxes on the sides because they'll give extra information especially for levels B and C.

263

So let's just take through part one.

264

So you see first here, so that says all.

265

What that means is all levels, level A, B, and C are all doing this first part.

266

So what that means is also level B and C.

267

It's a review.

268

They've gone through this before but you'll see it adds in some extra depth as they go.

269

And so it's talking about going through these flashcards, talking about if they're vowels and consonants.

270

So some really basic information for the kids, especially if say they're already in level B or C.

271

You get here and it has this picture here, which basically means you need to pull out your student workbook.

272

And so right here, it says, read the base word and underline the phonogram.

273

So some of this will be pretty straightforward

274

if you're doing level a it might take a little longer level c this should probably be really pretty quick

275

and so they'll do that and then work through some more phonograms

276

and there's always some teacher tips to pay attention to i really do appreciate these

277

and then it gets into level c

278

so you see here it changed the color to this orange color

279

which indicates level c and in level C they are doing an additional phonogram an advanced phonogram

280

and they also have one two three extra worksheets for that

281

and the worksheets will be labeled level C so these are worksheets

282

that only the level C students will be doing for

283

that extra advanced phonogram so then you keep going

284

and it says down here all again for phonogram flashcards and it asks to drill the phonograms with flashcards.

285

And it even gives you a little teacher's tip, drilling phonograms.

286

In the phonogram drill, sometimes ask the students to say only the phonogram sounds.

287

Other times, drill both the sounds and associated hints or rules.

288

So you can kind of do it different ways depending on where your child is, and that way you can keep it from being super repetitive.

289

But okay, to move on, we're still in part one.

290

And again, this is all.

291

So now they did the phonograms.

292

Now the program is going to enter into the spelling rule section.

293

And this is the rule 12 .1 the vowel says it's low in sound

294

because of the e and there's a lot of practice

295

and again another workbook page and

296

so a lot of times with this first part i split

297

it into two days it really is up to you

298

and what works best for your kids and where they're at

299

but here's this workbook page that's indicated after talking through

300

that spelling rule

301

and then again another all section exploring sounds reasons for a vowel to say it's long sound

302

and now you have one two three different spelling rules

303

that have to do with saying it's long sound

304

so what I like about this is it's pulling back some

305

of these old ones like this was covered earlier like unit two

306

or unit three it's a e o

307

and you usually say they're long sound at the end of a syllable

308

so the kids should know this and so this is review

309

so they're bringing it back but they're adding it to kind of a different category.

310

So it's helping stretch the brain and helping the kids learn kind of more dynamically in my opinion.

311

And so then it gets to another workbook page and so that's 16 .3 here, Reasons for the Long Vowel.

312

And then it gets to an essential reader.

313

So like I said, if you have that then you continue with this lesson

314

but it's optional and so that might not be something that you are doing.

315

Alright, so that was just part one and has to do with really introducing new phonograms as well as new spelling rules.

316

And then you get into day two, which is called building words.

317

This is a lot of spelling.

318

So the first thing that happens here is a review, which I think is really helpful.

319

This section is really good, especially if your kids are new to logic of English, if they're a little bit on the struggling side, or if they've been doing it for a while,

320

it's still really good to bring that spiral review in.

321

And so this is a way to review phonograms, phonogram basketball, and you're reviewing some of the grammar rules that have been learned in the past.

322

So I'm not sure when the students learned about quotes, but they're reviewing that and then some spelling rules.

323

So it says, say a word, ask them to write it with the tiles.

324

Oftentimes I just use a marker and the whiteboard and explain the reason for the long vowel.

325

So there was, remember there's three different rules they could use and so they'd have to go through that.

326

And then there's this spelling journal.

327

So they can bring back out their journal and it talks through the short u sound.

328

So it's either in the middle of a syllable and it just uses the single u or it's o u.

329

It says may not be used at the end of English words.

330

Use in the middle of a syllable like cousin, young, jealous, famous, those words.

331

And so this will be brought in to kind of further reinforce some of those lessons

332

and then there's the essential reader again

333

and you will see this is also the day

334

that starts the spelling analysis all right

335

so again like i said this spelling analysis is really what drew me to this program

336

but i do have a quick tip for spelling analysis

337

so denise eyed actually on her youtube channel

338

which I will link below she has recorded herself doing the

339

spelling analysis for every unit of every level of essentials

340

so it can be like unit 3 level a unit 3

341

level c unit 16 level a whatever it is they're all there you can find them

342

and then she will teach the students and my son likes

343

that variety so she will go through this whole process where she'll say the word make

344

and then she is going to make cookies.

345

Make.

346

And then we talk to the students about how many syllables

347

and have them hum or count the syllables under their chin and then they work on a say to spell.

348

So they'll say like make

349

or for instance it is a multi -syllable word like birthday they'll say birth day

350

and then the students will say the first syllable and they'll segment the first syllable and you'll do some finger spelling.

351

Again it's really helpful to watch some of her teacher trainings

352

especially on YouTube that's where I've gotten all my information

353

and it was really helped me

354

and you can go through the rest of this where the

355

students then write the word on the board sounding it out as they write

356

and then the teacher writes it on the board

357

and they help segment it with the teacher

358

and then you do some marking and the marking is really important because it helps the students see like the IR, that's an R controlled vowel,

359

TH is a multi -letter phonogram.

360

Pointing those aspects out to the kids will help them remember what to use when they're spelling these words.

361

And there's so much help in this teacher's guide.

362

As you can see, to be able to follow this whole system

363

and to say what you need to say to help your students.

364

And then there is the level B as well as the level C lists.

365

And so when you go back through this, you will get new words, even though you will work on similar phonograms, if that makes sense.

366

So I love that, honestly.

367

And next is part three, and this says words in context.

368

And so this is your grammar day.

369

And so again, there's for everybody all there's a big review.

370

And this is a phonogram review.

371

There's a spelling review and a spelling worksheet to go with that some spelling rules and some grammar worksheets.

372

So those are just in the review section.

373

Oh and I didn't show you this

374

but this is where the students would write their spelling words

375

and it's important because then you'll start analyzing the spelling words

376

when you go through grammar

377

and you'll put parts of speech as well as talk about plural or past tense of those words.

378

And then here's some of those worksheets I was just pointing out that have to do more with the review section.

379

So clearly they are spiraling this program

380

and then it talks about again all it's going to talk

381

about suffix rule adding a suffix to a silent final e words it teaches all through

382

that there's some worksheets

383

that go with it another worksheet you can see it keeps going teaching through

384

that teacher tips another spelling rule for dropping the silent e

385

when adding a vowel suffix only

386

if it is allowed by other spelling rules optional practice

387

so i didn't point out there's often optional practice on these pages

388

and that's really helpful

389

if you need to slow down at all is it gives you extra things to do

390

so you don't feel like you have to keep rushing through the program

391

if your child is not understanding

392

and then it gets into making silent final e words plural

393

and then here is a bit of a grammar review

394

and then it goes through the nouns verbs adjectives and plural nouns

395

and past tense verbs of all of the words that are on the spelling analysis list for that week.

396

Oh I guess I showed you level A when I was looking at the words because like birthdays it's a plural noun.

397

You're using the same words to look at them a different way of teaching grammar

398

but you're also kind of revisiting spelling if that makes sense.

399

So it's not just like writing the list out again

400

and again you're kind of analyzing and really digging deep into each of these words

401

which I really like and then there's on all where it talks about subject pronouns

402

and then it gets into an optional spelling analysis of subject pronouns

403

so they can really get into how to spell them how to label them things like

404

that and now we're still in part three of this program

405

so you can see some of these lessons are rather long and

406

so then it says identifying parts of speech in this section you will be reading a sentence to your child

407

and you'll be talking about each of the words

408

and you'll be labeling the words

409

and then I can see you can see here in the

410

teacher tip it says for level B use this sentence

411

and this sentence in this sentence so the ones that are out here are all level A and

412

then you have the level B and C in the margins

413

but you do the same thing and then it ends with a bit of dictation

414

so again another way for them to practice their spelling words and to work on just listening, repeating, and writing the words.

415

And then there's an essential reader assignment as well.

416

Okay, so that's the first three parts of five.

417

So the fourth part is words in action.

418

So again, all, and this review is phonograms for dragons, grammar review, spelling review.

419

It says read five to 10 words for students to write with the tiles.

420

These are great.

421

They're not necessarily your spelling words.

422

By this point in the program your students should be able to spell those words

423

and so it helps them use their skills.

424

And then it gets into vocabulary and again it's color -coded for level so this time I will do level B.

425

So level B vocabulary is the suffix of OUS like famous

426

and how that works and then it goes through this whole lesson on vocabulary

427

and that's level C and it ends with another bit of dictation

428

and writing strong sentences and so here it's 16 14

429

and basically it's saying so the boy played a game

430

so it says change the gray bold words into pronouns add

431

an adjective to describe the black bold words you may think of your own

432

or choose from the list so it's really just helping them be stronger writers in this assignment.

433

And so there's a variety of ways that this program teaches these things.

434

within a unit, which I do like.

435

And then it gets to part five.

436

And so part five is always a check your understanding, or you can see it as an assessment for the week.

437

And the program discusses how to handle assessments really in this first teacher's guide.

438

But what you'll do is you'll go and flip to the assessment in the workbook.

439

And here it says, check your understanding for unit 16.

440

It says, write the phonograms as your teacher dictates them.

441

So that's the first thing.

442

But if you see here, you're actually doing a little bit of review first.

443

So you will dictate these, and they will write it down.

444

And so then there's a section for spelling rules next, and a section for suffixing silent E rules. So there.

445

And then there's a section for dictation, which is all written out here.

446

Again, color -coded and then there's a section for subject pronouns

447

which is this last page of the check your understanding or the assessment.

448

So you can see you really work with all these concepts throughout the week however long it takes you.

449

It may take longer than five days to do all of this

450

but by the time you get to

451

that assessment the kids should really understand what's going on and

452

if not it instructs you as to how to go back

453

and how to practice when to pause when to keep going things like

454

that so then it goes on to the next unit

455

so I feel like that is that's a lot right it feels like a lot

456

if you even look at the number of pages

457

that are included in unit 16 it's a decent amount of instruction for one

458

unit so I hope that helps you just really wrap your head around the program

459

because in the other unit it's set up very similarly

460

so like I just talked about

461

that strong sentences that's also at the end of part four in unit 23

462

or something like that so it's set up very similarly

463

but there's enough variation in instruction

464

that i think it helps the kids really learn the material

465

so i think

466

that is all i wanted to show you in this flip through i really do hope it was helpful

467

so let me just flip the camera around

468

and i will end the video so welcome back you guys i hope

469

that was helpful i hope it wasn't too overwhelming I mean, it can feel like a lot, but I think it's actually very well organized once I was able to wrap my head around it.

470

So I'm hoping that this helped if you were considering this program for your homeschool.

471

And like I said, please stay tuned.

472

In a couple of weeks, I plan on making a video that talks more about like our story, what brought us to Logic of English, how is it going so far?

473

I didn't wanna combine these videos because I want this just to be a very informational video and I hope it was, but stay tuned for that.

474

And I will link it in the description box once I actually upload it and everything.

475

So you should be able to find it.

476

But that is what I have.

477

That's what I have for the Essentials program flip through.

478

Let me know if you have any questions.

479

Hopefully I can answer them.

480

Otherwise, give the video a like, subscribe to the channel if you want to, especially if you want to see how Essentials is working for us

481

because I do monthly updates and I will chat about it kind of in all of those updates.

482

But anyway, thank you guys for stopping by and I will see you in the next homeschool video.

483

All right, take care.

484

Thank you.

Record yourself and compare with the original, paying attention to words like spelling, phonogram, grammar.

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.
