Hi, everyone.
2
Welcome back to Daily English Talk.
3
Yes.
4
Episode 120.
5
Let's go.
6
I'm Lily.
7
And I'm Tom.
8
And today's episode is a little.. personal for me.
9
Oh, it's very personal.
10
Please don't.
11
I'm just saying, we're going to talk about shadowing practice today.
12
You know, repeating after native speakers to improve your pronunciation and your flow.
13
Great topic.
14
Very useful.
15
Let's move on quickly.
16
And if you're new here, 60 ,000 of us are learning English together every single day.
17

18
every single day.
19
60 ,000 family members now.
20
That's right.
21
Okay, before we start today's lesson, I have a question for you.
22
So, quick question for all of you watching.
23
Have you ever practiced your English out loud in public and forgotten that other people could actually hear you?
24
Why are you looking at me when you ask that?
25
I'm not looking at anyone in particular.
26
Okay.
27
So here's what I want you to think about while we tell today's story.
28
What do you think happened to Tom yesterday on the number
29
12 bus at 7 :30 in the morning with his headphones in?
30
Lily.
31
Keep that guess in your head, we're not going to tell you the answer right away.
32
Let's set the scene first.
33
Okay, so tell everyone, what were you doing on the bus?
34
Okay, so you know how I've been trying to improve my speaking?
35
I found this technique called shadowing.
36
Right, shadowing.
37
You listen to a native speaker
38
and you repeat exactly what they say at the same time or just a second behind them.
39
Exactly.
40
So I downloaded this podcast, put in my headphones, and I thought, perfect 20 minutes on the bus, perfect time to practice.
41
Okay, sounds smart so far.
42
It was smart until I forgot I was actually saying the words out loud instead of just moving my mouth.
43
Tom!
44
I know, I know.
45
So the podcast host says, and that's why I always double check my calendar.
46
And I just repeated it, loudly, on a full bus.
47
Oh no!
48
And this old man sitting next to me turns around very slowly and says, "Sorry, were you talking to me?" What did you say?
49
I panicked.
50
I said, "No, no, I'm just practicing my calendar." Practicing your calendar?
51
He looked so confused.
52
He probably thinks I talk to my calendar for fun now.
53
Maybe you do.
54
Maybe that's your new hobby.
55
Honestly, the worst part is I didn't even stop.
56
I kept shadowing for like five more minutes because I didn't want to lose momentum.
57
So the whole bus heard you repeating a podcast about time management?
58
Word for word.
59
My pronunciation was actually really good that day, if I'm honest.
60
Well, at least something good came out of it.
61
And actually, that's the thing.
62
Even though it was embarrassing, shadowing really does work.
63
felt so much more comfortable with English rhythm afterward.
64
It's true.
65
A lot of our viewers ask us how to sound more natural, and shadowing is one of the best tools for that.
66
You're training your mouth muscles, not just your brain.
67
Right.
68
It's like a workout, but for your tongue.
69
That sounds strange, but okay.
70
Okay, so since Tom brought up his little habit, let's use this moment to talk about grammar.
71
Today we're focusing on the present simple for habits and routines.
72
Yes, because clearly talking to myself on the bus has become a routine now.
73
We use the present simple when we talk about things we do regularly, not just one time.
74
For example, "I practice English every morning." Or "Tom talks to his calendar on the bus." See?
75
That's actually a great example.
76
Notice the verb.
77
With "I" or "you," we say "practice," but with "he," "she," or "it," we add an "s." Good example, thank you.
78
Let's do a few more.
79
I listen to podcasts every day.
80
She listens to podcasts every day.
81
Perfect!
82
Notice the word "every day" at the end.
83
Words like "everyday," "usually," "always," and "often" are strong signals that we need the present simple.
84
What about negative sentences?
85
Good question!
86
For negatives, we use "don't" or "doesn't." I don't shadow podcasts on the bus.
87
Tom doesn't learn his lesson.
88
Exactly.
89
See?
90
You're getting it!
91
So to summarize for everyone, present simple equals routines and habits.
92
Add an S for he, she, it.
93
Use don't or doesn't for negatives.
94
Great summary.
95
Okay, now let's move into today's vocabulary.
96
All of these words connect to shadowing practice and speaking English in daily life.
97
First word: fluency.
98
This means speaking smoothly without a lot of stopping or thinking too hard.
99
Right, like when words just come out naturally.
100
Exactly.
101
For example, my fluency improved a lot after I started shadowing every day.
102
Can I tell a quick story about fluency?
103
Please.
104
So when I first moved to the city, I ordered coffee and I froze completely.
105
I knew the words, but my fluency was zero.
106
I just pointed at the menu.
107
What did you point at?
108
A tea bag.
109
I don't even drink tea.
110
You ordered tea by accident because your fluency failed you?
111
I drank the tea.
112
It was fine.
113
That's the saddest story I've ever heard.
114
Next word, mimic.
115
This means to copy someone's voice, accent, or way of speaking.
116
Like an impression.
117
Exactly like an impression.
118
For example, when I shadow, I try to mimic the speaker's accent.
119
Okay, my story.
120
My sister used to mimic our English teacher's accent so perfectly that our whole family started talking like her by accident.
121
exact British accent, and we'd all just laugh because it wasn't even on purpose anymore.
122
That's actually a really smart way to learn without realizing it.
123
My sister accidentally taught the whole family fluent sarcasm.
124
Next, Tongue -tied.
125
This means you can't speak clearly because you're nervous or confused.
126
Oh, I know this feeling very well.
127
I get tongue -tied whenever I have to introduce myself in English.
128
My story?
129
At my first job interview in English, someone asked, "So, tell me about yourself," and I got
130
so tongue -tied that I just said my own name again like they didn't already know it.
131
You just said your name?
132
I said, "Yes.
133
So, um, my name is Tom.
134
They already knew that.
135
They just asked me that question." Did you get the job?
136
I did, actually.
137
I guess they liked my honesty.
138
Next phrase, out loud.
139
This means speaking so other people can actually hear you, not just in your head.
140
Yes, I'm quite familiar with this concept now thanks to the bus incident.
141
Example, I practice my sentences out loud every morning in the shower.
142
Actually, that's true for me.
143
I do talk out loud in the shower in English.
144
My neighbor probably thinks I'm arguing with someone. Are you?
145
Sometimes I argue with myself about grammar rules, yes.
146
me always me Last word for today, the phrase "repeat after." This is literally the core action of shadowing.
147
You listen and you repeat after the speaker.
148
Repeat after me: I will not talk to strangers about my calendar.
149
Very relevant example.
150
I actually think repeating after native speakers helped my intonation more than anything else, like the up and down of my voice sounds so much more natural now.
151
That's the real power of shadowing.
152
It's not just words, it's the rhythm and music of the language.
153
Exactly, even if it means occasionally embarrassing yourself on public transportation.
154
Especially then.
155
Okay everyone, now it's time for our shadowing practice.
156
Remember, listen first, then repeat after us out loud.
157
Yes, don't be shy.
158
Pause the video if you need to.
159
Say it with us, even if you're on a bus.
160
Especially if you're on a bus.
161
Okay, okay.
162
Let's start slow.
163
Repeat after me.
164
I practice English every day.
165
Your turn now.
166
Say it out loud.
167
Next one, repeat after me.
168
My fluency is getting better.
169
My fluency is getting better.
170
Now you say it with confidence.
171
Let's try a longer one.
172
Repeat after me.
173
Sometimes I feel tongue -tied, but I keep trying.
174
Good.
175
Now it's your turn.
176
One more.
177
Repeat after me.
178
I like to mimic native speakers when I practice.
179
I like to mimic native speakers when I practice.
180
Your turn.
181
Last sentence for today.
182
Repeat after me.
183
I am not afraid to speak out loud.
184
I am not afraid to speak out loud.
185
Now, say it one more time with feeling this time.
186
Great job, everyone!
187
Your mouth is already getting more comfortable with English.
188
Remember, shadowing works best when you do it every single day, even just five minutes.
189
Just maybe check your surroundings first.
190
Learn from Tom's mistake.
191
Please stop bringing that up.
192
Okay, let's quickly review everything we learned today. for he, she, it.
193
And we learned five great vocabulary words: fluency, mimic, tongue -tied, out loud, and repeat after.
194
And most importantly, we learned that shadowing practice really works, even if it comes with a few embarrassing moments.
195
Especially the calendar incident.
196
We're never letting that go, are we?
197
Never.
198
So now it's your turn.
199
Have you ever practiced English out loud in public and gotten a strange reaction from someone?
200
Or have you ever tried shadowing before?
201
Tell us in the comments.
202
We read every single one.
203
And if you're brave enough, tell us your most embarrassing English practice moment.
204
Tom clearly isn't the only one.
205
I really thought that bus was empty in my head.
206
That's it for today's episode, everyone.
207

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.
