Hello my dear English learners.

This is Tara and I hope you're all having a wonderful day.

Today we have an important message to share with you about our English speaking and shadowing practice lessons on English Learners Podcast.
6
Some of you may have noticed that our older shadowing English practice videos are no longer available on this channel.
7
We know that many of you have enjoyed practicing with us over the years, and many of you have reached out to share your progress,
8
your achievements and your success stories.
9
Honestly, hearing from you has meant so much to us.
10
We know that these lessons have been more than just videos for many of you.
11
They have been part of your daily routine,
12
your speaking practice and your journey towards becoming more confident and fluent in English.
13
Some of you may have started with just a few simple sentences and over time you began speaking more naturally,
14
improving your pronunciation and finding the confidence to express yourselves in English.
15
We are truly grateful that we have been a part of your journey.
16
And if you have been practising with us regularly,
17
we want to say a heartfelt thank you for being here for showing up and for never giving up on yourself.
18
Now we want to share something important.
19
Our shadowing English practice series on YouTube is coming to an end.
20
We will no longer be uploading these shadowing lessons here on English Learners podcast.
21
We understand that some of you may feel disappointed.
22
Perhaps these videos have been part of your morning routine.
23
Or perhaps you have listened to the same lessons again and again to improve your speaking.
24
We understand how much these lessons may mean to you, but please know that this is not the end of our journey together.
25
If you miss practicing with us, we have made our shadowing lessons available on a dedicated learning
26
platform where you can continue learning in a more focused environment without the usual distractions.

You can find the details in the description below.
28
And that's not all.
29
We are also working on something new and exciting for our learners.
30
We are launching our very first live English shadowing sessions on Zoom.
31
Imagine practicing English together in real time, repeating sentences, working on your pronunciation,
32
improving your rhythm and intonation, and gradually building the confidence to speak more naturally.
33
Our new batches will begin next month, starting with learners in the Indian subcontinent,
34
as many of our wonderful learners come from this part of the world and other parts of Asia.
35
We plan to expand to other regions later too.
36
We are also bringing in new teachers to help you continue your learning journey
37
and make your speaking practice more interactive and engaging.

So my dear learners, change is never easy.
41
I know and especially when something has been a familiar part of your life for a long time.
42
We have shared so many lessons, so many sentences, and so many hours of practice together.
43
Although this chapter of shadowing practice on YouTube is closing, the purpose behind everything we do remains the same,
44
to help you learn English, speak with confidence, and believe in your own progress.
45
Please remember that fluency doesn't happen overnight.
46
Every sentence you practice, every mistake you learn from, and every small step you take brings you closer to your goal.
47
Keep going, even on the days when progress feels slow.
48
Thank you for learning with us.
49
Thank you for your lovely messages, your encouragement, and the trust you have placed in us us.

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.
