Hello, lovely students, and welcome back to English with Lucy.
2
I have a very special lesson for you today that's going to help you practice your speaking and pronunciation skills in English.
3
Today, we're going to do some shadowing.
4
You are going to become my shadow.

17
So technically I'm sponsoring myself here.
18
It's an online tutor platform with incredibly high quality teachers.
19
They only accept around 10% of applicants across the board, much less than that for English.
20
I'm using it to learn Italian.
21
My husband is using it to learn Spanish.
22
We're taking two lessons a week at the moment.
23
It's amazing.
24

27
The link is in the description box.
28
Okay, before we begin your speaking practice, I want to explain what shadowing is and what I'm going to ask you to do in this video.
29
When shadowing, you repeat what someone is saying with as little delay as possible.
30
It's not repeat after me, it's speak along with me.
31
So while I speak, you speak too, trying to match my speech patterns, my intonation and pronunciation.
32
This is a great way to improve your speaking, especially if you don't have anyone to speak with.
33
It feels a bit weird at first, but once you understand and know the technique, You can use literally any audio you want to practise more.
34
Just choose a person who you want to sound like and go for it.
35
Okay, I'm going to tell you a story about something slightly embarrassing that happened to Will and me last week.
36
Some of the vocabulary might be new for you.
37
Don't worry, I've put a full list of vocab in the PDF.
38
When shadowing, the primary focus is not on the grammar or the vocabulary.
39
It's on mimicking the pronunciation of the speaker.
40
First, just listen to me.
41
Then we'll talk about the pronunciation.
42
Then you can practise.
43
The other night, Will and I were sitting down to dinner when we heard a thump above our heads.
44
That's our first sentence.
45
Did you notice anything about my pronunciation?
46
I want to point out a couple of features that will help you sound more natural when you're shadowing me.
47
Firstly, I used a schwa when saying Will and I, and I elided or dropped the d sound in and.
48
will and I, not will and I, will and I.
49
I also used a weak form of were, were, to, to, and the article a, a.
50
That was just before thump, a thump.
51
And did you hear which word was most stressed in that sentence?
52
Thump, that was the most interesting and surprising information.
53
Okay, let's practise together now.
54
Speak along with me.
55
The other night, Will and I were sitting down to dinner when we heard a thump above our heads.
56
Good, if you want more practise, just pause the video, replay that part.
57
Here's the next part of the story.
58
Listen first.
59
We live in an old house, so we just shrugged it off and started eating.
60
There was another louder thud, and then what sounded like footsteps.
61
Creepy, right?
62
So before you speak along with me, I want to point out one feature of connected speech in that sentence, catenation, which is when a consonant sound at the end of one word joins with a vowel sound at the beginning of the next.
63
You saw this in living and old, living and old, and shrugged it off, Shrugged it off.
64
Live in an old.
65
It's almost like old starts with N.
66
An old.
67
Live in an old.
68
Let's practise again.
69
Now say it with me out loud.
70
We live in an old house, so we just shrugged it off and started eating.
71
There was another louder thud and then what sounded like footsteps.
72
Okay, the next part.
73
Just listen.
74
I am not joking when I tell you the hairs on my arms stood on end.
75
Even Will looked a bit shaken, which is not like him at all.
76
He called our dog Diego for company and went upstairs to investigate.
77
Okay, a few things to point out here before we try this together.
78
Firstly, I didn't use a contraction with I am, I am.
79
You probably know that we almost always use contractions rather than full forms when we're speaking, especially in informal situations.
80
But here I chose to use the full form for emphasis.
81
I also stressed not.
82
You also heard assimilation with the words on my.
83
The n in on became on my.
84
There are also examples of intrusion in the text.
85
I am, my arms, to investigate.
86
Between I am and my arms, I inserted a y sound.
87
and between to and investigate, to investigate, there was a wha sound.
88
Now let's practise together.
89
I am not joking when I tell you the hairs on my arms stood on end.
90
Even Will looked a bit shaken, which is not like him at all.
91
He called our dog Diego for company and went upstairs to investigate.
92
Great, okay, here's the final part of my story and your shadowing exercise.
93
Listen first.
94
Moments later, Diego came bounding down the stairs with a tennis ball in his mouth.
95
What do you know?
96
A bunch of tennis balls had fallen off the top of the wardrobe and rolled down the landing.
97
And there you have it.
98
Will and I felt a bit silly, but Diego was really happy.
99
All right, before you do your final shadowing, there are just a few things to point out.
100
One, notice how I said, what do you know?
101
What do you know?
102
This is an informal contraction and these are really common in speech.
103
And the final thing is that I said, Tennis balls had fallen.
104
Tennis balls had fallen.
105
Balls had had a weak form.
106
Instead of saying balls had, balls had.
107
Okay, do it with me.
108
Let's do your final shadowing practise.
109
Moments later, Diego came bounding down the stairs with a tennis ball in his mouth.
110
What do you know?
111
A bunch of tennis balls had fallen off the top of the wardrobe and rolled down the landing.
112
Okay, how did you do?
113
Were you able to speak along with me?
114
If not, don't worry.
115
Shadowing is quite an advanced technique and it takes time and practise and a bit of humility to master.
116
But it's a really valuable way to practise lots of different features of pronunciation and to try to sound a bit more like a native speaker if that's what you're looking to achieve.
117
Let me know if you enjoyed this lesson and if you'd like to do some more shadowing lessons, I'd love to make them for you.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?
A prática de conversação em inglês é essencial para aprimorar suas habilidades linguísticas e aumentar sua confiança ao falar. Neste vídeo, você terá a oportunidade única de fazer shadowing, uma técnica que envolve repetir imediatamente após o falante. Isso não só melhora a sua pronúncia, mas também ajuda a internalizar a entonação e o ritmo da fala em inglês. Ao se tornar um "shadow" do instrutor, você desenvolverá uma sonoridade mais natural e agradável ao se comunicar. Além disso, a prática de conversação em inglês por meio de vídeos, como este do YouTube, oferece um contexto rico onde você pode aprendizado contextualizado e diversificado, tornando o aprendizado mais prazeroso e eficaz.
Gramática e Expressões em Contexto
No vídeo, diversas estruturas gramaticais e expressões do inglês são utilizadas. Aqui estão algumas delas:
- Schwa Sound: A presença do schwa em palavras como Will e and é um elemento importante que muitos aprendizes ignoram. O som reduzido ajuda a fluência.
- Weak Forms: A junção de palavras em frases, como no caso de were, que se pronuncia como wə, é comum entre falantes nativos e ajuda a tornar a fala mais natural.
- Elisão: Palavras que perdem sons, como no exemplo will and I que se torna wil’n I, mostram como a fala pode ser mais rápida e fluida.
- Artigos Indefinidos: O uso de a antes de palavras que começam com som de consoante é crucial para a pronúncia adequada e clareza na comunicação.
Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia
Durante a prática, é importante atentar para algumas armadilhas de pronúncia presentes no vídeo. Aqui estão alguns pontos a serem observados:
- Thump: A palavra 'thump' pode ser desafiadora, especialmente na produção do som th. Tente não substituí-lo pelo som t.
- Intonação: Preste atenção à entonação que o falante utiliza, que muitas vezes não segue padrões estritamente gramaticais, refletindo emoções e reforçando significado.
- Conexão de Palavras: Frases podem se fundir devido à velocidade da fala. Por exemplo, to dinner when we heard pode soar como um único bloco. Pratique repetir essas frases de forma contínua.
Ao incorporar estas práticas e elementos do shadowspeaks e shadow speak a sua rotina de estudos, você poderá ver melhorias significativas em sua capacidade de conversação. Utilize este vídeo como uma ferramenta valiosa para sua jornada em aprender inglês com YouTube!
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | I've also created · you've learned · I've put |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | person who you · catenation, which is · shaken, which is |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
