1
Language sets us apart.
2
Other animals communicate, but they don't have anything approaching the sophisticated grammar of human languages.
3
How is it that we learn to speak and think in language so easily?
4
Young children become adept in a new language very quickly.
5
Since the dawn of philosophy, thinkers have argued about whether or not we have innate ideas, whether we are born knowing things as Plato believed,
6
or rather, as John Locke and other empiricists argued, the mind is a blank slate on which experience writes.
7
An American linguist, Noam Chomsky, gave a twist to this debate in the 1960s by demonstrating
8
that children learning to speak just don't have enough information to form the complex grammatical manoeuvres
9
that allow them to generate unlimited new and original sentences.
10
Yet they do so with ease.
11
There's a poverty of stimulus.
12
Something else must be going on.
13
Chomsky's hypothesis was that there are inborn structures in our brain, what he called a language acquisition device,
14
or LAD, which gives us a natural propensity to organise the spoken language that we hear in various grammatical ways.
15
Without that, we couldn't get started as language learners.
16
If he's right, language structure is hardwired as a kind of universal grammar.
17
Our slates have been written on before we emerge from the womb.

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.
