In this American English pronunciation video, we're going to go over how to increase your vocabulary.
2
One of the challenges in learning a foreign language is remembering all of the new vocabulary.
3
In this video, we're going to go over a few tips for learning new words and for remembering them.
4
First, expose yourself to the language. For example, read.
5
I still learn English words from reading.
6
I find that every couple of months, the New York Times uses a word that either I've never heard before, or that I've heard but I'm not totally solid on the meaning.
7
So I look it up, learn the meaning, and then go back to the sentence and solidify it.
8
One good idea is to think of another word that you know you could replace it with in that sentence, a word that wouldn't change the meaning.
9
Then say the sentence with that word.
10
Tying the new word to a word you already know, and studying it in the context of the sentence will help you remember it.
11
If you know my channel, you know it's a pronunciation channel.
12
Always learn the pronunciation when you learn a new word.
13
When you look up a word in the dictionary, the pronunciation is always right there.
14
Many online dictionaries also play an audio file, so you can hear a native speaker say the word.
15
Practice it out loud several times.
16
You want to read at the right level to learn.
17
If it's too easy, you won't learn many new vocabulary words.
18
If it's too hard, you don't really get the context, because there's too much you don't know.
19
Try reading at a level where you look up at most one word per sentence.
20
As you discover new words in your reading, write them down, along with the meaning and the context.
21
You can either use a notebook or flashcards if you prefer that.
22
Make a system that works for you, so you know you're going to actually go back and study the words again.
23
Most words you won't remember from just looking it up once.
24
When you look the word up, look Look for related words or other forms of the word.
25
For example, let's say you're learning the word adjust, which is a verb.
26
You may find in the dictionary that adjustable is an adjective, and adjustment is a noun.
27
Write these down too.
28
It's also a good idea to look for one antonym or synonym.
29
An antonym is a word with an opposite meaning, and a synonym is a word with the same or similar meaning.
30
So let's say you're learning the word blurry.
31
A synonym would be fuzzy.
32
An An antonym would be clear.
33
If any of these words are unknown to you, write them down too.
34
You can find synonyms and antonyms by looking in a thesaurus, like thesaurus.com.
35
Another great way to learn vocabulary is to watch TV, movies, and online videos.
36
But you can't just sit back, relax, and be entertained.
37
You can do that sometimes, but you're going to learn more if you actively participate in learning.
38
When I was in Germany, I watched a lot of TV with my notebook in hand.
39
When I heard a word or phrase that I knew I could identify but didn't know the meaning of, I immediately stopped paying attention to the television,
40
or paused what I was watching and wrote down the word.
41
Then I looked up the meaning and wrote down the context.
42
It was easy to remember new words I picked up this way
43
because I had the visual of what I had been seeing, I had the visual of the word written down, and I practiced out loud several times.
44
The context of the situation helped solidify that word or phrase.
45
If you can rewind and watch again, do this, and pay attention to the pronunciation.
46
Imitate the pronunciation out loud five or six times.
47
Make sure you write the pronunciation down, either using IPA or another system that works for you.
48
This is also great for learning phrases or sequences of words that are frequently used.
49
When I was in Germany watching a drama, I heard the phrase, Es tut mir furchtbar leid.
50
I had never heard this phrase before.
51
I knew, Es tut mir leid, which means I'm sorry.
52
So So I recognized the phrase, and I learned a new way to intensify it with FURSTBAR.
53
I'm terribly sorry.
54
When you learn a new phrase, write it down.
55
Okay, so what do you do with all of these words and phrases you're writing down?
56
By learning them in the context of reading or video, you're already helping yourself memorize them, but you're still going to have to put in some work.
57
Try to memorize, really solidly memorize, three to five words a day.
58
If you have a great memory, then maybe go for ten, but limit yourself to that.
59
Tip one for memorization, the Laura tip.
60
I'm naming this after my friend who was studying Spanish abroad.
61
Laura would write down and learn four or five new words that she had heard in conversation throughout the day.
62
At the end of the day, she would turn them into a song.
63
This might involve gestures or movements to help her understand.
64
It might contain just the word, if the gesture was clear, or the word in definition, or the word in a sentence.
65
Adding music, adding a melody, really helps your brain hold on to the information.
66
She taught me one of her songs, and I still remember it 8 years later.
67
And I wasn't even trying to study Spanish at the time.
68
Let's come up with an example song.
69
Let's say you're learning the words sprint, deceive, increase, and concern.
70
Your song could go something like this.
71
Sprint, don't deceive me, increase, I care because I'm concerned.
72
Don't spend much time on it?
73
It should be short and fun.
74
Sing it 10 or 12 times.
75
Then sing the one from yesterday a few times.
76

87

88
Put the words in groups and drill the groups together.
89
Then, group them differently and drill again.
90
For For example, if you wrote down 10 words or phrases while watching one episode of The Sopranos,
91
practice these words together and think about the episode and the context for each word.
92
Or group them by vowel sound in the stressed syllable.
93
For example, furniture, unearth, burly, return, jury, blurt, curse.
94
These words all have the ER vowel in the stressed syllable.
95
Or, organize your words by stress,
96
typical, period, numerous, everything, difficult, curious, da da da.
97
These were all three-syllable words with stress on the first syllable.
98
Or, organize the words by meaning, grouping together words of a similar meaning.
99
Or, group them by how well you know them, putting words you know really well in one group, words you kind of know in a second group,
100
and words you need a lot of help with in a third group.
101
Creating Learning various groups will help you memorize, and will make drilling vocabulary more engaging.
102
Tip 3.
103
Visualization.
104

106
So, absorb as much of the language as you can through reading and watching video,
107
or even writing down words from conversation around you.
108
Organize these words in a system that works for you, maybe a notebook, maybe flashcards, and get creative when memorizing.

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.
