Hello everyone, welcome back to English with Lucy.

Today I've got a video that will show you how you can ask native speakers anything.

Maybe you want to know what a word or phrase means, or the difference between two similar words.

Maybe you want to ask a question about culture, or maybe you want to help out other people that are trying to learn about your language and culture.

The team behind the app HiNative got in contact with me

and asked me if I would be interested in trying out their app and seeing if I liked it.

Well I did that, and I didn't just like it, I loved it.

It is such a good idea.

It's fantastic for those burning questions that a dictionary just can't answer.

Sometimes you have questions that you need to ask a native person.

So today I'm going to show you, with the help of HiNative, how you can ask native speakers speakers anything.

So firstly, what is HiNative?

Well, it's a culture and language Q&A question and answer application.

You can ask native people questions about their language or their culture.

The app supports over 110 languages, so if you're interested in languages apart from English, this will work for you as well.

It works on both Android and iPhones, but But you can also use it in your web browser on your computer.

It's great for advanced users, but it's also really good for beginners because it has special forms that help you ask the question in a precise way.

I'll show you that in a minute.

The best thing about it, it's free.

I know, unbelievable.

It does have a premium version which includes a few extra features, but the majority of it is absolutely free and it's completely usable.

so it's perfect for anybody on a budget.

You can even upload voice recordings of you speaking

and get real feedback from real native speakers and they can even reply to you with audio messages.

So it really is amazing.

Now, I've used the app a couple of times before, but I am going to create a new account with you guys

so you see exactly how to do it and how easy it is, so let's get started with that.

Okay so I've just downloaded the HiNative app.

Obviously I've already had a look at it

but I want to go from the beginning to show you guys exactly how you can do it

and how easy it is.

So let's open the app.

So you can sign up with Twitter, Facebook or Lang8 and you can also sign up with with your email account.

So I'm going to sign up with my email account then.

So my username will be English Lucy.

My email is hello at English with Lucy.co.uk and my password.

Okay, I'm going to choose my native language.

Now I'm going to pretend that I'm a foreign person here

so I'm going to choose Spanish I think from Spain and I want to learn British English.

There we are, okay.

Next.

Yes of course I want the newsletter.

Right, I'm going to have a go at asking some more questions.

So, there are lots of different options you can ask does this sound natural?

So the does this sound natural part means that I can write something

and a native person will respond to me and tell me whether it sounds like natural English or not.

Okay, let's test this out then.

Let's see if I can make a small mistake.

What will I say?

I went to the shop for to buy potatoes.

Okay, so I will post that then.

And then people will vote whether it sounds natural, a little unnatural, unnatural, or I don't understand.

Okay.

Now there's something really special about the does this sound natural option, because you can record yourself reading out the sentence and people will tell you if your English sounds natural or not.

And I know a lot of you will love that feature

because I receive a lot of voice messages in my Facebook inbox.

So, let's try.

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane.

It's a sentence to practice the A sound.

So, the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane.

Right, so I will post that.

Right, let's have another go.

What does this mean?

What does?

Okay, let's say to have cold feet.

Let's see what people say about that one.

Okay, what's the difference then?

Okay, what about can and jar?

That's one I've had the other day.

So what's the difference between can and jar?

Great.

Okay.

Right.

You can also have a free question where you can ask things about culture.

Okay.

Well, let's ask.

When do people from the UK normally eat lunch.

Okay, right.

Posted that.

Right, so I've left it a little while, no longer than 15 minutes,

and I'm now going to check all the responses I've had for my questions.

So, oh, I've had a lot.

Right, so, what is the difference between jar and can?

Look!

This amazing person has responded with pictures.

So, we've got can.

These are examples of cans.

A can of Coke, a can of beans, and an example of a jar.

Fantastic.

So people can respond with pictures.

And that explains it better than any words.

Okay, then we've got...

People are saying it sounds a little unnatural or unnatural.

Yep, someone has said I went to the shop to buy potatoes.

So that four, that incorrect four, was taken out.

Fabulous.

What does cold feet, to have cold feet, mean?

Oh look, this fantastic person has responded again.

English Speaking Practice - Speak with me! (Shadowing Method)

Daily Conversation

FOR YOU

Почему практиковать речь с помощью этого видео?

Это видео — идеальный инструмент для практики разговорного английского, потому что оно показывает, как общаться с носителями языка на реальные темы. Вы узнаете, как задавать вопросы, получать быстрые ответы и улучшать свою речь с помощью приложения, а главное — научитесь применять знания в живом диалоге. Это отличная возможность для shadow speech (имитации речи): вы можете повторять фразы после спикера, тренируя интонацию и ритм. Благодаря этому вы быстро начнете чувствовать уверенность в разговорах!

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

"I went to the shop for to buy potatoes" — здесь ошибка в структуре: вместо "for to buy" нужно использовать "to buy". Это частая оплошность новичков, и видео показывает, как носители исправляют такие моменты.
"Does this sound natural?" — ключевой вопрос для проверки естественности речи. Используйте его, чтобы узнать, как ваши фразы воспринимают носители.
"What's the difference between...?" — удобная конструкция для уточнения различий между словами (например, "can" и "jar"). Она поможет вам избежать путаницы в лексике.

Трудные моменты в произношении

В видео есть несколько слов, которые могут вызвать сложности: "potatoes" (картошка) — не путайте "o" и "a", правильно произносите "pəˈteɪtəʊz". Также обратите внимание на фразу "the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain" — здесь тренируется звук "ei", который часто сбивает с толку. Для улучшения воспользуйтесь shadowing site или техникой shadow speak: повторяйте после спикера сразу же, копируя интонацию и темп. Это поможет быстро преодолеть языковые барьеры и сделать речь более естественной.

Не пропускайте шанс попрактиковаться — даже 10 минут в день с shadowspeaks дадут заметный результат. Начните прямо сейчас, и вы скоро увидите прогресс!

Грамматика в этом видео

Сравнительная степень -er than / more … than — сравнение двух вещей	longer than · better than
Будущее с «will» will + глагол — решение, обещание или прогноз	will show · will work · I'll show
Будущее с «going to» be going to + глагол — план или то, что явно произойдёт	I'm going to show · am going to create · I'm going to sign

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.
