Hello English learners!
2
My name is Claire, a native speaker from the US and an English teacher.
3
And you keep asking for it So here it is, more shadowing practice.
4
Shadowing is a really useful tool for working on your pronunciation, and sounding more natural in English.
5
Essentially, it is repeating after native speakers.
6
or someone you want to sound like in terms of your inflection and rhythm of your English speaking.
7
And by doing so, you create good habits for your own English speaking.
8
So whether that is pronunciation,
9
tone, inflection, rhythm, any or all of those things that you want to improve upon in your own speaking,
10
shadowing practice is really going to help you achieve that and sound more natural.
11
So as I said, I'm a native speaker and I have kind of a standard American Midwest accent.
12
So obviously I will be doing the American English pronunciation of things So if you're interested in that,
13
then Welcome to today's shadowing practice.
14
Let's jump right in.
15
English made easy with Claire.
16
So first, I'm going to give you plenty of time to repeat after me, after each phrase.
17
that I will say in this short story.
18
And then I will invite you to shadow a section of this story after me.
19
At the end of the video, we will say the entire story all together.
20
So again, you will have the opportunity to shadow, but this time the entire story.
21
If you're wondering what's the difference between repeating after you and shadowing, Well, repeating after me is what it sounds like,
22
I say it, and then you repeat on your own.
23
Shadowing is you saying it with me.
24
So once you've had a chance, to say it on your own, repeating it after me, then you'll try saying it with me.
25
So you've had time to practice it first, and then again with me at the same time to match my tone,
26
inflection, rhythm, pronunciation, all that.
27
So it just reinforces all of those things to help you sound more natural.
28
Okay, so first repeat after me.
29
Thank you.
30
Yesterday morning, Yesterday morning Thank you.
31
I was running late for work.
32
you I was running late for work.
33
Thank you.
34
I grabbed my bag.
35
I grabbed my bag.
36
you lock the door, lock the door, and rush to the station.
37
and rush to the station.
38
Before we shadow this section, say it all together.
39
I want to point out the different pronunciations of the ending "y -d" that we have here.
40
We have three verbs with the ending "e -d." grabbed locked, and rushed.
41
Now, There are three different pronunciations of the -ed ending, but here we have two of them.
42
The third pronunciation comes later in the story, so don't worry, I will point that out to you.
43
But between these three verbs,
44
we either pronounce the ed ending as a deed or a "tee" - grabbed grabbed,
45
that's the D ending, And locked.
46
Locked.
47
That one has the T ending.
48
Can you guess?
49
which one rushed has.
50
rushed.
51
Say it yourself, rushed.
52
Is it /d / or /t/.
53
Can you hear?
54
If you said "t," you're correct.
55
Now, in very rapid speech, you may not be able to tell the difference between the "d" and the "t." And that's okay,
56
as long as you know which one it is.
57
So let's take the "d" ending in grabbed.
58
Because you know you're saying a D, you have the intention of saying the D and you're thinking "d" when you speak.
59
But you don't need to over pronounce this.
60
You don't need to say, I grabbed my bag.
61
I grabbed my bag.
62
No one speaks like that.
63
Right.
64
I grabbed my bag.
65
I grabbed my bag.
66
You may even not even hear the D when I speak.
67
I grabbed my bag.
68
It's so subtle that it could just sound like I grab my bag to you, but we need to at least think
69
of the D and have the intention of pronouncing this D
70
sound so that it doesn't sound like we're speaking in the present tense.
71
I grabbed my bag.
72
We need to be in the past tense, of course, because this story takes place in the past.
73
So we do need to have the intention of pronouncing the D sound So as long as you're thinking that,
74
as you speak quickly, then it will come across as Grabbed.
75
Grabbed.
76
It's so fast, but I'm not over pronouncing grabbed.
77
Now the /t / sound for the /e / -d / ending locked the door locked the door,
78
Again, think T, make sure you know it's not locked locked, right?
79
That's incorrect, but locked.
80
And then as long as you have the intention of the T sound, It will come across locked and rushed to the station.
81
Again, think T because we know it has the T ending, rush to the station.
82
- Rushed to the station.
83
It may still even just sound like rush to the station,
84
to you, but I am saying rushed and it will come across.
85
that I'm speaking in the past tense because at least my intention is to have this T ending.
86
Now, that might be a little bit of a different way to be thinking of pronunciation than you're used to.
87
You know, it would be easy for me to say every time pronounce the D and the T clearly grabbed locked, rushed.
88
But if you really want to work on this native speaker sounding accent, or you really want to sound natural,
89
of course, this is a great way to be able to think of those pronunciations.
90
Okay, now we can shadow this whole section together.
91
So say it with me.
92
Yesterday morning, I was running late for work.
93
I grabbed my bag, locked the door, and rushed to the station.
94
you When I got there, Thank you.
95
When I got there, Thank you.
96
I saw the train doors were about to close.
97
you I saw the train doors were about to close.
98
you "I sprinted toward them.
99
I sprinted toward them.
100
but the doors shut right in front of me.
101
you but the doors shut right in front of me.
102
Okay, before we shadow, a couple pronunciation things to point out.
103
the s sound at the end of the word close should be a z,
104
a voiced sound, z and not s, right?
105
So s is unvoiced.
106
I can't hum on it.
107
For example, s, Peace.
108
but the voiced sound, I can.
109
right?
110
You can hear I can hum on that sound.
111
That's what makes it voiced.
112
So this one has a voiced sound ending, close.
113
Close.
114
But of course, very quickly, we would just say, "I saw the train doors were about to close." close.
115
close.
116
And here we have another "ed" ending.
117
So this is the third pronunciation of "ed".
118
Sprinted.
119
sprinted.
120
So this ending is not a /d / or a /t / sound, it is Ed.
121
Ed.
122
You could think of it like a short I sound.
123
plus a D or the schwa sound plus D?
124
Sprinted.
125
Sprinted.
126
I sprinted toward them.
127
Another tricky word that a lot of people have questions about in English pronunciation is the word toward Now,
128
in American English, most people pronounce this as one syllable.
129
Toward.
130
It's almost like that first O doesn't exist.
131
"toward".
132
It's like a "TW" sound at the beginning.
133
"Toward".
134
Now, some people might pronounce it "toward".
135
That is a little bit more British English, so if you've heard that before, toward That would be that pronunciation.
136
If you did pronounce this word as "toward" in American English, it wouldn't be that strange.
137
But if you are aiming for an American English pronunciation, toward toward.
138
And the final phrase, in front of me, Instead of pronouncing each word in front of me, individually.
139
In rapid speech, we would squish these sounds together so that it's in front of me.
140
in front of me. In -fra -na -mi.
141
So you kind of drop the T at the end of front
142
and you don't pronounce the /v / sound at the end of /əv/.
143
but drop that as well.
144
In front of me.
145
in front of me.
146
Okay, let's shadow this whole section together.
147
When I got there, I saw the train doors were about to close.
148
I sprinted toward them.
149
but the doors shut right in front of me.
150
I thought I thought, Great.
151
Now I got to wait another 10 minutes.
152
you Great.
153
Now I gotta wait another 10 minutes.
154
- Let's repeat the word thought.
155
together one more time because that's a tricky one for pronunciation.
156
thought thought we have the unvoiced at the beginning,
157
which you can think of as blowing air between your teeth with your tongue.
158
And if you've seen some of my other shadowing videos, I have pointed out before,
159
that at the if you see a t at the end of a word in american english we often Stop that T.
160
or we drop the sound.
161
So it's thought.
162
Got to becomes gotta.
163
gotta similar to when we squish together in front of We have gotta.
164
So again, that stop T sound, because we have the T at the end of got, But it's a stop T,
165
so it kind of sounds like a D when we say it quickly.
166
Gotta.
167
"Gotta." Also, wait another.
168
The T also becomes a stop T and kind of alides with the next word because it starts with a vowel.
169
So it again, it sounds like a D or it has this stopped T sound.
170
Wait another.
171
Wait another.
172
Okay, let's shadow this sentence together.
173
I thought Great.
174
Now I gotta wait another 10 minutes.
175
That's when I realized: Thank you.
176
That's when I realized I'd left my phone at home anyway.
177
Thank you.
178
you I'd left my phone at home anyway.
179
I guess missing that train.
180
I guess missing that train.
181
wasn't such a bad thing after all.
182
- Wasn't such a bad thing after all.
183
Thank you.
184
The silver lining you the silver lining,
185
was that I had time to go back home, Thank you.
186
was that I had time to go back home Thank you.
187
you grab my phone, you grab my phone,
188
and let my boss know I'd be late.
189
Thank you.
190
and let my boss know I'd be late.
191
Thank you.
192
you realized that one has Which ending?
193
If you said 'd', You're correct.
194
Realized.
195
and in rapid speech.
196
realized, realized.
197
And in the last sentence, we have a kind of list separated by commas.
198
So I'll just point out the inflection here.
199
Whenever we have a list like this,
200
before each comma, the inflection stays raised and you lower your inflection only at the end of the sentence.
201
And this makes it really clear that you are listing things.
202
So here, listen to me say the whole sentence and listen to my inflection.
203
The silver lining was that I had time to go back home grab my phone,
204
and let my boss know I'd be late.
205
So we had before the comma, Go back home.
206
Inflection went up.
207
Grab my phone.
208
The inflection went up again.
209
And let my boss know...
210
I'd be late.
211
I'd be late goes down and inflection.
212
So if you're ever listing something separated by commas, remember this inflection rule.
213
because it will make it really clear that you are listing something.
214
So that's why mastering inflection like this,
215
in overall sentences, so not just the inflection or the stress of individual words in English,
216
but the overall stress and inflection throughout in a sentence is even more important then getting the accent correct.
217
So even if your goal is not to sound exactly like me or a native speaker,
218
you can keep whatever accent you have when you speak in English, but you want to be understood, right?
219
You want to be able to communicate.
220
So getting the inflection and the stress, both in individual words and in an entire sentence, is so important.
221
for your overall English speaking and learning.
222
And communication so that others can understand you.
223
Okay, back to shadowing.
224
Let's say this whole section together.
225
That's when I realized I'd left my phone at home anyway.
226
I guess missing that train wasn't such a bad thing after all.
227
the silver lining was that I had time to go back home,
228
grab my phone and let my boss know I'd be late.
229
Okay, awesome work so far.
230
Let's say the whole thing together.
231
So I'm going to read through the entire story and you are going to shadow me.
232
Yesterday morning, I was running late for work.
233
I grabbed my bag.
234
lock the door, "and rushed to the station.
235
When I got there, I saw the train doors were about to close.
236
I sprinted toward them.
237
but the door shut right in front of me.
238
I thought, "Great, now I gotta wait another 10 minutes." That's when I realized I'd left my phone at home anyway.
239
I guess missing that train wasn't such a bad thing after all.
240
The silver lining was that I had time to go back home, Grab my phone.
241
and let my boss know I'd be late.

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.
