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.

Почему стоит практиковать разговор с этим видео?

Практика разговорного английского языка — это один из самых эффективных способов улучшить свои навыки общения. В этом видео используется метод "shadowspeak", который предлагает учащимся возможность повторять и имитировать речь носителя языка в реальном времени. Такой подход помогает не только улучшить произношение английского, но и развивать уверенность при разговоре. Погружаясь в контекст диалога и активно участвуя в нем, учащиеся могут заметно улучшить свои навыки разговорного английского.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

  • Сложносочиненные предложения: В видео использованы сложносочиненные предложения, которые помогут вам научиться формировать более сложные конструкции. Например, "Will and I were sitting down to dinner when we heard a thump above our heads".
  • Употребление артиклей: Заметите, как используются неопределенные артикли, такие как "a", для создания натуральных фраз, например, "a thump".
  • Сокращение слов: Носитель часто использует сокращенные формы, такие как "were" и "to", что придает речи естественность. Это один из важных аспектов, который стоит тренировать для улучшения произношения английского.

Типичные ловушки произношения

При практике с видео обратите внимание на некоторые словосочетания и акценты, которые могут вызвать трудности:

  • Слово "thump": Особое внимание уделите произношению "th", которое может быть непривычным для русскоязычных. Используйте метод "shadowing английский", чтобы отработать это произношение.
  • Имитация интонации: При повторении фраз старайтесь максимально точно воспроизводить интонацию и ритм речи носителя языка. Это поможет вам звучать более естественно и уверенно.
  • Слабые формы: Употребление слабых форм, таких как "and" (озвучивайте как "an"), поможет вам звучать более плавно и естественно.

Регулярная практика с использованием метода "shadowspeak" позволит вам значительно улучшить произношение английского и уверенно общаться на языке. Начните применять эти советы уже сегодня и наблюдайте за своим прогрессом!

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.
