Practicing English alone is easy,
2
but only if you know how.
3
In this video I will give you my top three English speaking exercises
4
that I would do every day if I were starting from zero.
5
We're outside and by a beautiful river and everything you can see is a word.
6
So shall we?
7
Think of a piano.
8
If you play the same note all the time it sounds boring,
9
it sounds monotonous, and that is how a lot of non-native English speakers sound,
10
even if the vocabulary is great.
11
So today I'm going to show you how to play with your voice like it's a piano.
12
So let's stand up, shake your body,
13
shake your face, and now I'm feeling playful,
14
let's start playing with our voice.
15
The first step is to take any English book that you have.
16
I choose this book and the author of this book is David Crystal.
17
The title is A little book of language.
18
On the front cover you can see an illustration of two people standing under a tree.
19
On the back cover there are more illustrations,
20
there are reviews from other authors and in the bottom right corner there is a barcode.
21
After you've chosen your book,
22
the next step is to choose a random page.
23
I'll choose this page.
24
And the final step is to read out loud for one minute.
25
We sometimes do silly things with language.
26
Aren't you lovely?
27
Reading out loud is already a powerful speaking exercise exercise.
28
It trains your brain and your mouth at the same time.
29
But here's what most people miss.
30
You can play with your voice.
31
Here are four ways that you can play.
32
You can play with volume,
33
how loud or how quiet you go.
34
You can play with speed,
35
how fast or how slow.
36
You can play with pitch,
37
you can go high or you can go low and finally you can play with the pause.
38
Let's put this into practice,
39
I want you to shadow me if you can.
40
I'm going to read out loud and practice playing with my voice.
41
Capital letters add an extra complication,
42
although There are 26 letters in the English alphabet.
43
When we write them down it turns out that there are 52 because each letter appears in two forms.
44
We have a big A and a little a,
45
big B and a little b and so on.
46
Printers don't use words like big and little.
47
Big letters are called uppercase or capital letters.
48
Little letters are called lowercase letters.
49
These terms come from the days
50
when printers used to keep the letters they needed for printing in two large boxes or cases.
51
The different capital letters were held in compartments in the top box or uppercase.
52
When we play with things like volume and speed,
53
we're training our mouths like muscles.
54
When you speak loud, you open up and you articulate more clearly.
55
When you speak quiet, you slow down and you get precise.
56
Fast trains your mouth to keep up and slow trains you to be clear.
57
Native speakers like me naturally switch between these modes all the time and we do so unconsciously.
58
Now, how can you remember these practices?
59
Well, let's think of a funny and cute image.
60
Very small purple penguins.
61
volume, speed, pitch, pause.
62
A lot of my English students say that they study English
63
but then in an actual conversation when they try to speak the words never come out,
64
the conversation is gone.
65
So I'm gonna show you two word games that can fix
66
that problem but Chang and I are heading to a coffee shop now so let's play the word games while we walk.
67
The first word game is called the word tree game and
68
if you think of a tree you have the trunk the part in the center
69
and then the branches and the leaves on the outside.
70
So the trunk is your central word and the branches are your related words.
71
Let's put this into practice with the word book to make it very clear for you guys.
72
I'll begin.
73
Book.
74
Author.
75
Page.
76
Words.
77
Bibliography.
78
Illustrator.
79
Spine.
80
Library.
81
Librarian.
82
Knowledge.
83
Information.
84
Fiction.
85
Non-fiction.
86
Genre.
87
Clever.
88
Now, we finished the first game.
89
And I want to teach you what I'm doing right now.
90
I'm going to wait because it's not safe.
91
I am crossing on a zebra crossing.
92
This is a zebra crossing.
93
And there is traffic coming from that way.
94
In Vietnam if you cross the road slowly,
95
ideally don't film yourself, then you cross safely.
96
Now over there I can see some traffic lights.
97
Let's go to them.
98
Yeah it's gorgeous, beautiful promenade.
99
Uh, across safely.
100
Okay guys, these are traffic lights and they are red, yellow and green.
101
But in England we don't say red, yellow, green.
102
We actually say red, amber, green.
103
Mad, innit?
104
So the second game is the word association game where you take a random word and you make a chain of associations.
105
Let's put this into practice starting with the word traffic light.
106
Traffic light.
107
Red.
108
Amber.
109
Green.
110
Go.
111
Stop.
112
Pause.
113
Play.
114
Video.
115
YouTube.
116
Woohoo!
117
Woohoo!

119
Why do we play these word games?
120
Well, if you think of your brain like the internet.
121
If you have a bad internet connection, then it's annoying.
122
You might feel frustrated.
123
If you have a good internet connection, then it flows.
124
Everything goes smoothly and life feels good.
125
So, your brain has Wi-Fi,
126
and the more that you play these word games,
127
the faster your brain's Wi-Fi becomes.
128
Now, I want you guys to pause this video and comment in the comments your associations to the word banana.
129
Try to do 10, 11, 12 associations.
130
Just let your fingers tap,
131
tap, tap, and let your mind wander.
132
I'm curious to see how everybody makes different associations.
133
And one rule, nothing rude, right?
134
I'm watching you.
135
Okay, now that we've played the word games,
136
I'm going to show you a little bit of the world around me.
137
So, this is a car park.
138
In the background, there are two skyscrapers.
139
This one is rectangular.
140
And this one is like a gherkin, a pickle, a cucumber.
141
Down here we have bonsai trees.
142
And the bonsai trees are in plant pots.
143
There's a boy sticking his thumbs up.
144
He is on a bicycle and in a school uniform.
145
Hello, sir.
146
Hello.
147
Let's walk through the car park because the cafe is over there.
148
It's that way.
149
We are going that way.
150
Over there.
151
See the cars?
152
I'm walking along the yellow line.
153
And the ground is blue.
154
By the way, the floor and the ground,
155
we usually say ground when it's outside,
156
and we usually say floor when it's inside.
157
That's a general rule.
158
So now we are walking on a pavement.
159
This is the pavement and the pavement is usually next to the road.
160
Two motorbikes or two scooters.
161
This is a sign right here, a road sign.
162
This is a Chang right here, a Chang.
163
And we are crossing the zebra crossing once more i'll get
164
you a little yeah let's get a thumbnail all right nice one beautiful
165
so silly this is a four by four car it's a
166
large car with two wheels well actually four wheels on the
167
other side this part of the car is called the wing mirror the front door
168
the back door and in England we call this part the boot.
169
In America they say the trunk but we say the boot and this is the license plate.
170
Henry Ford.
171
Now I'm standing beneath the skyscrapers and looking up at the skyscrapers and they look enormous.
172
Is anyone scared of heights?
173
What are you guys scared of?
174
Let me know in the comments behind the scenes BTS.
175
Look at my camera woman,
176
Look at the effort she puts in.
177
Excellent.
178
Okay, come in.
179
I'm walking past now for this scene.
180
Okay.
181
We have arrived.
182
We're at the cafe, sitting,
183
watching the traffic, the beautiful traffic,
184
and it's a bit noisy.
185
But while we wait for our drinks,
186
let's get into the third speaking exercise of the day.
187
There are a lot of speaking exercises that you can practice alone.
188
For example, there's the jam game.
189
just a minute.
190
I played that game in my last video so if you want to check that out then click there.
191
A big problem with speaking English alone is that you don't know if what you have said is right or wrong.
192
You need feedback.
193
So I built JI to help you with this.
194
Let's take a look.
195
I'll show you an example.
196
We are friends who haven't seen each other in five years.
197
We do some small talk.
198
Sounds like fun.
199
I'll be your friend.
200
It's been ages.
201
You look exactly the same.
202
How have you been?
203
And look at your dog.
204
What a cutie.
205
What's their name?
206
My dog is called Charles.
207
He's a little coca spaniel and he's a little terror.
208
He's a little shh he's not very nice he barks at little kids
209
and he barks at old women it sounds like charles just needs a little more socialization
210
but he's probably a sweetheart deep down it's funny how much
211
they can make us laugh isn't it two thousand years later
212
all right j well it's been lovely to talk to you
213
we'll catch up again tomorrow have a lovely day after you
214
talk with j.i you can now check what you did well and how you can improve.
215
Oh look, the lights have just turned on because it's getting dark.
216
Right now we'd call this time twilight or dusk,
217
the time between sunset and night time.
218
And I would like to review everything from today's lesson so you guys can remember it.
219
The first thing that we did is we think of our voice like a piano.
220
We play with our voice.
221
We use things like volume, speed, pitch and pause.
222
Secondly, we played word games to speed up our brain's Wi-Fi
223
to prepare ourselves for real-life conversations by practicing speaking in a spontaneous way,
224
connecting our brains and our mouth.
225
And finally we practiced roleplay with J.I.
226
The benefit of practicing roleplay is you're putting yourself in a real-life situation
227
that you might have if you go to England or America
228
or Australia you will come across these situations
229
and you need to be prepared for them so
230
if you practice just one thing from today's video then you
231
have succeeded you are successful keep taking action thank you for watching and I'll see you next week
232
Beep beep.

Об этом уроке
В этом уроке мы будем практиковать разговорный английский язык с помощью увлекательных упражнений, которые можно выполнять самостоятельно. Вы научитесь, как использовать свой голос, чтобы сделать произношение более выразительным и интересным. Основное внимание будет уделено чтению вслух из книги, что поможет вам не только улучшить словарный запас, но и развить навыки интонации, темпа и громкости, что делает вашу речь более разнообразной и живой. Мы будем использовать метод shadow speak, чтобы улучшить ваше произношение и уверенность при разговоре.
Ключевая лексика и фразы
- чтение вслух - reading out loud
- громкость - volume
- темп - speed
- нотка - note
- интонация - pitch
- пауза - pause
- большие и маленькие буквы - uppercase and lowercase letters
- словарный запас - vocabulary
Советы по практике
Чтобы эффективно использовать упражнение shadow speech, попробуйте повторять за спикером, как только он произносит фразы. Обратите внимание на его темп и интонацию. Начните с медленного чтения и постепенно увеличивайте скорость, стараясь сохранить правильную произносительную интонацию. Не стесняйтесь экспериментировать с громкостью - читайте тихо, а затем громко. Также не забудьте играть с паузами: иногда стоит сделать паузу, чтобы подчеркивать ключевые моменты или разрешить своему мозгу обработать информацию. Это не только улучшит ваше произношение, но и сделает ваше изучение английского более интересным.
Изучая английский с YouTube и применяя техники shadowspeaks, вы можете практиковать разговорный английский в любое время и в любом месте, даже если у вас нет друзей для практики. Удачи в обучении!
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
