Shadowing Practice: Sia - I'm Still Here مترجمة عربي - Learn English Speaking with Video

I'm fighting a battle I'm fighting my shadow

Hurt fears like they cattle I'm fighting a battle I'm fighting my ego,

lost you, where did we go wrong?

I'm fighting for me though,

I'm lying in the long way All the past have haunted me,

all the past have wanted me Did all the best, commented me All the best that wanted me Did all the best

that haunted me All the best

that wanted me I am winning the war now

I am winning the war now Watch tears while they fall down I'm winning the war now

I win against the gold Cast light on the shadows' line I'm winning from evil Oh,

I'm lighting a long way All the past has come to

me All the past has come to me All the past has come to me All the past you wanted me, oh, the past you wanted me, oh, the past you wanted me,

but the battle was lost, cause I'm still here.

I'm with me, oh the best you wanted me, made all the best you wanted me

But the battle was lost,

cause I'm still here I'm fighting my ego Lost youth,

where did we go wrong?

I'm winning for me though

I'm hiding the long way home

All the past has haunted me All the past had wanted me dead All the past had fermented me

All the past had wanted me dead All the past had hunted me

All the past had wanted me dead All the pasts are fermented me But the battle was lost,

cause I'm still here Wanted me, all the past, they wanted me dead All the past,

they wanted me dead All the past,

don't mention me But the battle was lost, cause I'm still here

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.
