Okay, let's get into it.
2
First things first.
3
First thing is intuition.
4
If your gut, if your intuition is telling you
5
that something is off about this person or that they're lying to you, trust it.
6
Honestly, trust it.
7
That's really the main reason that I found out
8
because I started having dreams that were reoccurring and genuinely my heart was broken when I woke up from those dreams.
9
and they were the same dreams also from the beginning i felt like this person is you
10
and i didn't know why like i just felt
11
and i couldn't explain it nothing he was always with me
12
so it was like i felt like i was crazy
13
or i'm self-dodging but then i remembered like in my past relations i've never felt this
14
so i was like why do i feel this way with this person
15
so if you have
16
that feeling look our subconscious mind picks up on things there can be like certain things they say
17
or like certain way they even say things about other people
18
where you're like hey wait a minute that's a red flag
19
but it just doesn't register with your conscious mind
20
but your subconscious basically saves it so
21
when you start having this gut feeling of something is wrong about this person
22
or they're lying to me or you're having these dreams look into it
23
so when that happens to you just genuinely ask God to reveal the truth to you.
24
Like pray to God and say,
25
God, please give me the truth about this person.
26
Or say like, God, please deal to me people that are not for my highest good.
27
And you will see that the people that are closest to you are going to get revealed.
28
Like be prepared.
29
Don't just do this prayer because you might actually get your heart broken.

Practice Tips

To maximize your learning experience and improve your speaking skills through shadowing, follow these tips:

  • Watch the video multiple times: Start by watching it once without focusing too much on mimicking. Understand the overall message first.
  • Pause and repeat: After each sentence or phrase, pause the video and repeat what you hear. This will help you mimic the natural rhythm and tone of the speaker.
  • Focus on emotional delivery: Pay attention to how the speaker uses intonation to convey feelings. Try to reflect those feelings in your own speech as you practice.
  • Record yourself: As you shadow the speaker, record your voice. Compare it with the original to identify areas for improvement. This method is essential for effective IELTS speaking practice.
  • Engage with the content: After shadowing, think about the ideas presented. How does your intuition guide you in everyday life? Formulate sentences in your mind to express your thoughts in English.
  • Use shadowspeaks techniques: Incorporate pauses naturally and adjust your pacing to match the speaker, enhancing fluency and comprehension.

By focusing on these aspects, you'll not only improve your English speaking skills but also gain confidence in expressing complex ideas and feelings, which are crucial for successful communication.

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.
