4

5
I'm Jake.
6
How are you today, Judy?
7
I'm doing really well.
8
Thank you.
9
I went to a bookshop yesterday.
10
I found a new novel.
11
I started reading it last night.
12
I couldn't stop.
13
And you, Jake?
14
I'm, um, I'm good.
15
I want to tell you something, but my brain is slow today.
16
That's okay.
17
Take your time.
18
Okay.
19
So I went to a cafe this morning, and I wanted to order a coffee, but the barista spoke so fast.
20
And my brain was like, wait, let me think.
21
How do I say this in English?
22
Ah, your brain was translating.
23
Yes, exactly.
24
My brain thinks in my language first, then it translates to English, then I speak.
25
Three steps.
26
It takes so long.
27
And by the time you finish translating, the moment is gone.
28
Yes.
29
The barista was looking at me like, are you okay?
30
Jake, I think many of our listeners feel the same.
31
And that's exactly our topic today.
32
Oh, what are we talking about?
33
Today, we're talking about how to stop translating in your head and start speaking English naturally.
34
And I'm going to teach you a very powerful method.
35
It's called shadowing.
36
Shadowing.
37
I've heard of it, but I want to learn more.
38
You will.
39
Today, we have five tips.
40
Five simple ways to stop translating and start speaking.
41
Five tips.
42
Let's go.
43
But first, we have a small request.

49

50
we love our listeners.
51
Okay, now let's start.
52
Before we learn the tips, let me explain something.
53
Jake, when you speak English, what happens in your brain?
54
Okay, so first I think of what I want to say in my language, then I translate each word to English,
55
then I put the words in order, then I open my mouth and speak.
56
That's four steps, and every step takes time.
57
Yes.
58
That's why I'm slow.
59
My brain is doing too much work.
60
Exactly.
61
This is what I call the translation trap.
62
Your brain takes the long way.
63
It goes idea, then your language, then English, then your mouth.
64
Four stops.
65
Like a bus that stops at every station.
66
That's a perfect way to describe it.
67
But natural English speakers take the express bus idea mouth two stops no translation in the middle
68
I want the Express bus
69
and that's what shadowing can give you shadowing trains your brain to skip the translation
70
it builds a direct path from English sounds to your mouth how let me show you step by step
71
I have five tips today five tips to stop translating five five tips to stop translating and start shadowing.
72
Let's go.
73
I'm ready.
74
Teach me.
75
Our first tip is called catch yourself.
76
Catch myself.
77
What do you mean?
78
Before you can stop translating, you need to notice when you're doing it.
79
Most people translate and they don't even realize it.
80
That's true.
81
I don't think about it.
82
It just happens.
83
Right.
84
So from today, I want you to pay attention.
85
When you speak English, ask yourself, am I thinking in my language first?
86
If the answer is yes, that's the translation trap.
87
So I just notice it?
88
Yes, just notice.
89
Don't be angry at yourself.
90
Don't try to stop it right away.
91
Just notice, oh, I'm translating again.
92
That's the first step.
93
Like when I was at the cafe this morning.
94
I wanted to say, can I have a large coffee?
95
But first I thought of it in my language.
96
Then I translated word by word.
97
Can I have a large coffee?
98
And by the time you said it, it sounded slow and choppy.
99
Yes, very choppy, like a robot.
100
From now on, when that happens, just say to yourself, I caught it.
101
I was translating.
102
That's awareness, and awareness is the first step to change.
103
Catch myself.
104
Got it.
105
And don't worry.
106
Everyone translates in the beginning.
107
Even I did when I was learning.
108
It's completely normal.
109
The important thing is to notice it.
110
That's how you begin to change.
111
That makes me feel better.
112
I thought I was the only one.
113
Not at all.
114
Every language learner goes through this.
115
You're not alone.
116
I had a student once.
117
She told me, Judy, I spend 10 seconds thinking before every sentence.
118
And I said, that's because you're translating.
119
Let's fix that.
120
Did she fix it?
121
She did.
122
It took time, but she got faster, and she told me the first step was noticing, just like our tip.
123
Catch yourself.
124
Okay.
125
What's the next tip?
126
The second tip is listen and copy.
127
This is the heart of shadowing.
128
Listen and copy?
129
That sounds simple.
130
It's simple.
131
Shadowing means you listen to someone speak English, and you repeat exactly what they say, right after them.
132
You copy their words, their speed, and their sound, like a shadow.
133
A shadow, because I follow right behind.
134
Exactly.
135
You know how your shadow follows you everywhere?
136
It copies every move you make?
137
That's what you do with the speaker's voice.
138
You follow it, you copy it.
139
So I listen to you say something, and then I say the same thing?
140
Yes, let's try.
141
I'll see a short sentence, you repeat it right after me.
142
Ready?
143
Ready.
144
I'm really hungry.
145
I'm really hungry.
146
That sounds great
147
that sounds great let me think about it let me think about it did you notice something um
148
I didn't translate I just said it I copied your voice that's exactly the point
149
when you shadow your mouth moves before your brain has time to translate you hear the English
150
and you copy the English no translation in the middle
151
that's the Express bus yes the Express bus you skipped the translation stop completely.
152
I like this.
153
A lot.
154
And here's the secret.
155
The more you shadow, the stronger that direct path becomes.
156
Right now, the translation path is strong, because you've used it for years.
157
But every time you shadow, you build the new path.
158
Little by little, the new path becomes stronger, and one day it becomes your main path.
159
So shadowing is like exercise for my brain.
160
Exactly.
161
Like exercise for your brain.
162
And like exercise, it gets easier with practice.
163
My brain needs exercise.
164
A lot of exercise.
165
Next up, our third tip.
166
Start small.
167
Start small?
168
What do you mean?
169
Many people try to shadow long sentences right away, and they get lost.
170
They can't remember all the words.
171
They feel frustrated.
172
So my advice is start with short phrases.
173
Short phrases?
174
Like how short? two or three words at first then four
175
or five then a full sentence let me show you start with this good morning good morning
176
I'm fine I'm fine now a little longer
177
I'm fine thank you I'm fine thank you longer
178
I'm fine thank you how about you I'm fine thank you how about you see we started Start small.
179
Two words, then three, then four, then a full sentence, and you didn't struggle at all.
180
You're right.
181
When you break it down, it's easy.
182
But if you gave me the whole sentence at once, I might freeze.
183
Exactly.
184
Start small.
185
Build up.
186
Don't rush.
187
Short phrases today.
188
Longer sentences next week.
189
Full conversations next month.
190
Step by step.
191
I like that.
192
Let's try one more.
193
A little longer this time.
194
I'm going to the store to buy some fruit.
195
Um, I'm going to the store to buy some fruit.
196
See?
197
You did it.
198
A full sentence.
199
No translating.
200
It's getting easier.
201
My mouth is remembering.
202
That's exactly right.
203
Your mouth is learning.
204
And here's the important thing.
205
Even two words of shadowing is better than zero words.
206
Don't wait until you can shadow a whole paragraph start with good morning today.
207
I can do that.
208
Here comes our fourth tip.
209
This one is very important.
210
Copy the sound.
211
Copy the sound, not the words.
212
Let me explain.
213
When you shadow, don't think about what the words mean.
214
Don't try to understand every word.
215
Just copy the sound.
216
Like copying a song.
217
Like a song.
218
That's interesting.
219
Exactly.
220
Shadowing is singing without the music.
221
When you sing along to a song, do you translate every word?
222
No, I just sing.
223
I copy the melody and the sounds.
224
Exactly.
225
Shadowing is the same.
226
Copy the melody of English, the rhythm, the ups and downs, the strong words and the soft words.
227
So I should focus on how it sounds, not what it means yes the meaning will come later first
228
let your mouth learn the movements let your ears learn the
229
rhythm let me give you an example listen to this
230
and just copy the sound I had a really great day today
231
I had a really great day today did you think about the meaning no
232
I just copied it like a mirror for sound.
233
A mirror for sound.
234
That's brilliant, Jake.
235
When you copy the sound, something amazing happens.
236
Your brain starts to connect the sounds to the meaning on its own, without translating.
237
It's like learning a song.
238
You sing it many times, and one day you suddenly understand every word, not because you translated, but because you felt it.
239
That's why I understand English songs after I sing them many times.
240
Exactly the same thing.
241
Shadowing is singing without the music.
242
I love that.
243
Singing without the music.
244
And one more thing.
245
Don't worry if you don't understand every word.
246
That's okay.
247
Understanding comes later.
248
Your first job is to copy the sound.
249
Trust your ears.
250
Trust your mouth.
251
They're smarter than you think.
252
Trust my mouth.
253
Got it.
254
And our last tip.
255
Shadow every day.
256
Every day?
257
How much time do I need?
258
Five minutes.
259
Five minutes?
260
That's all?
261
That's all.
262
Five minutes of shadowing every day is more powerful than one hour once a week.
263
Because your brain needs practice every day.
264
Small, regular practice is the key.
265
Where should I practice?
266
Anywhere.
267
You can shadow this podcast.
268
Listen to Judy and Jake.
269
Pause.
270
Repeat what we say.
271
That's shadowing.
272
So I can shadow you right now?
273
Yes, and you can also shadow English songs.
274
Find a slow English song, listen to one line, pause, sing it back.
275
That's shadowing, too.
276
What about movies and shows?
277
Great idea.
278
Watch a show with English subtitles.
279
Pause after one sentence, repeat it.
280
Copy the voice, copy the feeling.
281
That's shadowing.
282
I can do this while walking
283
Max in the morning.
284
I put on my headphones, I listen to a podcast, and I shadow.
285
Perfect.
286
The best time is when you're already doing something.
287
Walking, cooking, cleaning, riding the bus.
288
Put on your headphones and shadow for five minutes.
289
Five minutes while walking, Max.
290
I can definitely do that.
291
And the great thing is, nobody knows you're practicing.
292
You're just a person walking with headphones.
293
Nobody can hear you whispering English to yourself.
294
That's true.
295
My secret English training.
296
Exactly.
297
Your secret training.
298
And you can also practice with a friend.
299
One person reads a sentence, the other person shadows it.
300
Then you switch.
301
It's fun, like a game.
302
I could do that with my sister
303
Anna on our Sunday calls.
304
She's learning English, too.
305
That's a wonderful idea.
306
And here's my promise, Jake.
307
If you shadow for five minutes every day for one month, you'll notice a big change.
308
Your English will sound smoother, more natural, less like a translation, and more like you.
309
More like me.
310
I want that.
311
And our listeners can do it too.
312
Five minutes, every day.
313
Start today.
314
Start right now with this episode.
315
Let's try right now.
316
Let's try one more time.
317
A longer sentence this time.
318
Just listen and copy.
319
Don't think, don't translate, just copy the sound.
320
I'm ready.
321
I went to the park this morning, and the weather was beautiful.
322
I went to the park this morning, and the weather was beautiful.
323
Wonderful!
324
How did that feel?
325
It felt easy.
326
My mouth just moved.
327
I didn't think about grammar.
328
I didn't translate.
329
I just followed your voice.
330
That's the power of shadowing.
331
Your mouth is faster than your brain.
332
When you let your mouth lead, the translation disappears.
333
The express bus.
334
The express bus.
335
No more stopping at every station.
336
Just idea, mouth.
337
Fast and smooth.
338
I'm never going back to the slow bus.
339
Okay, let's review.
340
Yes, let's see what we learned.
341
Today we talked about how to stop translating and start shadowing.
342
Our first tip was catch yourself.
343
Notice when your brain is translating.
344
Yes, just notice it.
345
Don't be angry.
346
Just catch it.
347
Then, listen and copy, the basic shadowing move.
348
Hear the English, copy the English.
349
Like a shadow, follow right behind.
350
Next, start small.
351
Begin with short phrases and build up.
352
Two words today, full sentences next week.
353
Then, copy the sound.
354
Focus on rhythm, not meaning.
355
Singing without the music.
356
And finally, shadow every day.
357
Five minutes is enough while walking cooking
358

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.
