Today we're trying all the food at the biggest buffet in America and this place is something else.
2
Now this is my idea of literal heaven.
3
We're in Pennsylvania's Amish country and we've come here for one reason, to visit Shady Maple Smorgasbord, the biggest buffet in America.
4
This place is absolutely enormous, we're talking a 200 foot long buffet packed with Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, American comfort food, freshly grilled meats,
5
endless desserts and more food than we could even imagine
6
and of course it's all you can eat i am the corn boy
7
but with this much choice where do you even begin we're
8
about to find out let's eat right now you guys have
9
been suggesting this one to us for a really long time
10
and we finally made it and i won't lie we are exhausted today
11
so very excited about a good feed we literally got back from the road trip through virginia
12
and tennessee yesterday long drive home like a 10 -hour drive home
13
and we haven't eaten anything yet today yeah so um
14
and it's absolutely popping off it is rammed this is the
15
biggest car park i've ever seen for a restaurant yeah
16
and this place feeds something like 1500 to 2000 people a day i don't even know what to expect
17
but i'm excited we're about to find out now i absolutely love a buffet.
18
Alex however isn't as big of a fan I would say.
19
That's usually because we go to breakfast buffets though.
20
Those are the best kinds.
21
No like eggs and bacon not
22
so much for me whereas this I mean there's just
23
so much food including some traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dishes
24
that we need to try like a chicken pot pie with big noodles in it
25
and things like that so we'll see what's going on.
26
My question is how are they serving this for $21?
27
Yes.
28
That's insane.
29
Or you can eat $21 a piece.
30
So I'm a little bit concerned, but we shall see.
31
Love the little maple leaf. So good.
32
Well, and this building is massive.
33
Like, I don't think we're ready for how big this is.
34
Look at that chandelier in there.
35
September menu features.
36
Now they do three servings a day.
37
You have breakfast, then lunch is 12 till 3 30 so we're in
38
that window and then they have a dinner each day
39
which is on like a different and they have a special night yeah
40
so each night steak night
41

67
right london australia switzerland i don't know like five different five different places in one week
68
so word gets around about this place then huh okay
69
so what do we need to try i personally like the
70
fried chicken fried chicken um my partner likes the beef brisket
71
okay as far as the desserts It's the carrot cake and the lemon corn.
72
Oh, okay.
73
Sounds good.
74
All right.
75
Thank you.
76
I got him now.
77
Thank you.
78
And then if you want to go ahead and follow me, I'll leave you to a quick survey.
79
Okay, great.
80
Yeah.
81
I have booth number 12.
82
Okay.
83
I have to make sure you remember that.
84
Yep.
85
The other thing you want to make sure you remember
86
while you're dining with us it's a yellow ticket here you want to make sure
87
that remains spaced up while you're dining here okay
88
when you're completely finished ready to leave yellow ticket you would
89
turn upside down i recommend i like the beef brisket okay she said that at the counter too right okay
90
everything okay cool everything's good okay um but just just help yourself
91
and then we do have a gift shop downstairs yeah we'll check
92
that out on the way out yeah too there's a lot Okay, well our lovely server Crystal just showed us to our seat.
93
I am completely blown away and a bit taken aback by how welcoming this place is,
94
how friendly, it's like they treat you like family.
95
Yeah, I feel like, literally feel like family and we've been here five minutes.
96
It's insane. So friendly.
97
So, so nice.
98
And I did read online that there's like a no tipping thing here.
99
Yeah, they're really straight on that.
100
Yeah, so you would pay the price, you pay before you come in, and then you get the yellow ticket, but there's no tipping, which I don't know why that is.
101
Particularly with us being in America, that's an unusual thing.
102
We're so used to the tipping culture here now, that for them to say strictly no tipping is a completely different concept.
103
But the level of customer service and how friendly these people are already, for us to notice it that extreme, that quickly, very impressed.
104
If the food is as good as the customer service, we might be on to a winner here.
105
Let's go and get some food.
106
Oh my goodness, it's huge.
107
It goes all the way down there.
108
What?
109
It is grand in here as well.
110
Like, the amount of people.
111
There is so much food.
112
Oh my goodness, pizza.
113
Pizza.
114
Burger toppings.
115
Look at all the burger toppings.
116
What is that?
117
Drinks.
118
Condiments.
119
That's all condiments there's another whole condiment section up there as well i've never seen a bucket of cholula like
120
that before there's
121
so much of it that's look at the baby rays whoa i'm a bit overwhelmed i don't even know where to begin.
122
There's pizza, there's burgers.
123
Oh look, Oktoberfest features.
124
Okay, we've made it all the way down to the end.
125
We're going to start at one end and work our way up because there is so much to get through.
126
The fried chicken, are we kidding?
127
We're going to have to give that a go.
128
Look at that.
129
And the meatballs right next to them.
130
Look at those.
131
They look really good.
132
They look so good.
133
Piece of fried chicken.
134
Wow.
135
Give that a go.
136
Should we split that?
137
It's a big piece.
138
Is that a lasagna over there?
139
Kind of want to try those meatballs too.
140
Baked cod, fried shrimp.
141
Is that, what is that, crab?
142
Crab gratin.
143
Oh, my word.
144
Beef lasagna.
145
Can we give that a little go?
146
Yeah.
147
Now, they do have a food waste policy where they say, like, please only take what you can eat
148
so we won't go too heavy too quickly let's just get
149
a plate each give it a little go what do we have chicken tenders chicken gravy get tenders
150
and gravy what is filling yeah guys what is filling what is what does this what is
151
that are they chicken croquettes oh my word
152
and then our famous roast beef so we need to try
153
that too get that and that looks great wow okay
154
and then included in the price are all your drinks as well
155
and they've literally got like coffee stations they've got all the
156
syrups yeah they have pumpkin spice syrup up there that's crazy
157
get whatever coffee you want they're all spoons what is going on here it's a whole grill
158
so they've got like this like philly cheesesteak on there
159
and like hot dogs and sausages all right now we are going to split a plate
160
because we want to try loads of different things and
161
if we got a plate each we just get all the same stuff yeah
162
so we're just going to split cutlery in here right
163
so we went for the fried chicken mashed potato beef lasagna meatball
164
and then the beef yeah it says our famous beef
165
so i kind of want to try that first look at
166
that all falling apart but they are making everything under the sun up there there's
167
so much food it's going to take us a while
168
that's good it's a good taste of home seriously look at you you're going to like
169
that like sunday beef that beef is really good seriously that's very nice
170
good old sundae right immediately transported to my nan's house on sunday i know it's great oh i love
171
that the mash looks a little creamy sort of soft for me i could just have plates
172
and plates of that it's pretty good that's
173
so good We've only had the beef and the mash and I'm freaking out already.
174
Right, now this fried chicken...
175
It looks like some of the breast fried chicken I've ever seen, to be honest.
176
It looks incredible.
177
Some of the breast fried chicken.
178
I see what you did there.
179
Flavour.
180
Yeah.
181
Well, let's not waste any time.
182
Oh, my word.
183
Oh, my word.
184
Pretty good piece.
185
That's so good.
186
Beef is better for me, though.
187
Well, yeah.
188
She's in our element now.
189
There's lasagna on there.
190
What are you waiting for?
191
21 dollars how are they making any money i mean it's pretty good
192
so far we're only scratching the surface where there's a lot
193
more food to go back for there's pizza there's burgers there's
194
a whole grill station you get philly cheesesteak up there this fried chicken is insane
195
and you've got every dip under the sun for it you
196
can get some cholula you can get some sweet baby rays
197
right lasagna now han is something of a lasagna connoisseur she does make a fantastic lasagna at home
198
so this is going to be the real test no fresh
199
they're good too how are they doing this like to find
200
somewhere that's consistently good across the board is impressive it's so good especially when they're making so many different dishes Right, meatball.
201
It's got like a sweet, almost like a mix between a tomato and a barbecue sauce.
202
Yeah, got like a glaze going on.
203
That was a good reaction.
204
That's good as well.
205
Are we five for five?
206
That is a fantastic meatball.
207
Five for five on the first plate?
208
Now guys, I won't lie to you.
209
When we look this place up, there are people in our comments that have been telling us, because we have family in pennsylvania
210
that have been telling us to come to shady maple for
211
a really long time like it's one of the places that we see come up in the comments quite a lot
212
we looked up online the pictures don't look great the pictures they take of the food don't look great
213
but first impressions of being here
214
that's a phenomenal meatball whatever they've got on there a little bit of
215
that beef too it's double down i don't think they have
216
to worry about their waste policy no what was this like so good
217
yeah right yeah a good lasagna i don't think these guys are doing themselves justice online
218
but then maybe they just don't need to no they've obviously
219
got a very loyal following yeah there's a lot of people
220
in here he's busy i will say the demographic is largely like older generation it does feel a little like that
221
but i mean good for you yeah for 21 dollars eat
222
your heart out i'd be in here once a week
223
but like you can go up there
224
and get a burger like a proper angus
225
and they're not small either no and they're made to water
226
and fries and that'd be one of the six dishes you eat for your 21 dollars exactly right whereas
227
if you went to like when we go to like chilies
228
or somewhere like that you're going to pay more than that for like
229
one meal so i mean there's like people are eating good yeah it's you know and that meatball is gone
230
in terms of the american restaurants that we've tried up until this point
231
dare i say it shady maple is winning for me well we've only had one plate like there's
232
so much more to go and the fact
233
that this is 21 came to 49 .54 after tax which is 37 pounds and 53 pounds
234
so the two of us are both eating all you can eat for less than 20 pounds each
235
it's pretty good round two i'm so excited
236
please only take what you can finish no wastage i'm not
237
spoilt for choice work i'm like that's cheese sauce yeah
238
that whole thing is just cheese sauce they've got chili they've got chili
239
smells good too i can smell
240
that chain from here look you can put it in one
241
of these we'll get one then that's like everyone's got their
242
chili around the campfire give the chili a go smells was
243
so good maybe pot of chili shrimp lobster salad chow chow
244
tuna salad potato salad then you've got all your dressings look
245
and then a whole salad bar yeah i mean even that there's
246
so much stuff there crazy i mean look how far down
247
the line goes just keeps going all the way down there you've got eggs shredded cheese
248
and then this is the octoberfest features this one here
249
fried pickles cheese stuffed pretzels fried pork chops oh my gosh
250
and what is that oh kibasa bobby's favorite
251
so we tried these in boston was fantastic
252
but that's with sauerkraut they've got jacket potatoes down there like
253
a baked potato yeah oh worm you could put your chili
254
on the jacket potato that's what i'm gonna do oh my words they look really good right now look at
255
that yeah they look amazing look at that pizza he just said that
256
that is smoked for 24 hours yeah they're doing it properly
257
right alex has gone back to get some more food i'm
258
going to indulge in my chili see now a jacket potato
259
like this is such a british thing like in the uk
260
if you want an easy dinner
261
and like comfort food it's a good old jacket potato with chili or baked beans and cheese
262
so this is a taste of home for me
263
oh my gosh yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum Alex better hurry up,
264
because this is going to be gone by the time he gets back. That is so good.
265
I don't know how they're doing this.
266
Literally everything is a 10 out of 10.
267
You can't fault it.
268
What have you got popped off?
269
Did I get a new one?
270
Yeah.
271
So they just replaced it?
272
They bring over a new cutlery, yeah.
273
I was just thinking I definitely left my cutlery on the old plate.
274
Right, first off, we need to talk about this.
275
Really?
276
Because it's so delicious.
277
I mean, it's actually quite hard to find a baked potato here.
278
Right, in the US, and that's what I just said.
279
I said, like, this is the UK, right?
280
Simple and easy.
281
I kind of want a little...
282
Did you butter it?
283
Yep.
284
I haven't had a baked potato in the time that we've been here.
285
It's been a while.
286
It's so good.
287
And this would be dinner for us.
288
Yeah.
289
One night a week, right?
290
It's a taste of home.
291
It is phenomenal.
292
Isn't it? Do you know what?
293
I'd be happy to admit I didn't have much confidence coming into this.
294
No, I thought this was going to be bad.
295
I thought this was going to be bad.
296
It's blowing me away.
297
So far, let me talk you through what I've got here.
298
Yeah, what the hell have you got?
299
I popped off, alright?
300
Now, chicken pot pie.
301
Not the way that we would traditionally be used to it.
302
Yeah, where's the pastry?
303
This has got like big pasta sheets in it, I think, almost like a lasagna, I think.
304
So we have chicken pot pie, that's one of the chicken dumplings.
305
Oh my gosh.
306
I got peas because I love peas.
307
Yeah, Alex loves peas.
308
There's no other reason for that, I like peas.
309
I want to try the filling, so I got some of the...
310
Okay, some of that filling that we want.
311
It doesn't sound great, but we call it stuffing, so maybe it's the sound, like, is it a cousin of stuffing?
312
Maybe be um dried corn oh right in it goes yeah give
313
that a go it's corn it's just cool yeah okay good though what's that butternut squash oh i love butternut squash
314
oh that's good it's got like cinnamon on it try that right now
315
right now go on get that in your face take it over there We've got it all going on over here.
316
It is a bit like random though, isn't it?
317
It's like you can have a bit of everything.
318
Like we've had a bit of roast beef and a chilli and Jackie and we've got some of this stuff.
319
It's a bit like...
320
Oh, that cinnamon is so good.
321
Right.
322
Let me get back in there.
323
And we've got mac and cheese.
324
Yeah, try that too.
325
It looks a little thick for me.
326
I do love mac and cheese.
327
You do.
328
Is it good?
329
I'm just tucking into your baked potato over here as well.
330
I'm filming Hannah and just like stealing her food with my spare hand.
331
The baked potato is great.
332
I want to give this a go.
333
Chicken dumpling?
334
Yeah.
335
Er, not dumpling.
336
Chicken...
337
No. Croquette.
338
Chicken croquette.
339
Well done.
340
That's right.
341
Oh, little ASMR.
342
Can you hear that, guys?
343
Oh!
344
Okay.
345
Okay, and I'm not too sure on the inside of that.
346
It's interesting.
347
They've given me reason to trust them at this point.
348
Yeah, I know.
349
not really my thing looks a little dry does it need
350
um gravy on it they've got all the gravy options under the sun out there
351
so yeah yeah go back in for your chili isn't this
352
isn't this fun look here we go a bit of mac
353
and cheese that little go see i don't care for that
354
i am willing to go on record and say
355
that i believe mac and cheese is one of the most overrated things
356
on planet earth now don't take the don't listen to me
357
it's not it don't the two don't mesh i don't get it it's cheese
358
and it's pasta it doesn't i'd rather have a tomato
359
and basil sauce let me get back in there on
360
that baked potato you got there i need my mac
361
and cheese lovers to rally with me in the comments nope
362
right please can we tell alex off in the comments don't lie to yourselves
363
because that who doesn't like a mac and cheese Please.
364
I just said to Alex, we didn't get any footage of the plates of food before we ate them.
365
This is something we do struggle with quite a bit, to be honest.
366
We just got a bit too excited.
367
Chicken pot pie?
368
Oh yeah, give that a go.
369
It looks more like a creamy, herby chicken lasagna to me.
370
No. Oh.
371
Uh -uh.
372
Oh.
373
We were doing really well until then, no. Have a drink.
374
Annoyingly, that's one of their signature dishes.
375
that's not good okay
376
so the chicken pot pie is a firm no maybe it's
377
just a bit of a surprise to the system it tastes like chicken soup
378
if you had like soggy bread in it i've got to
379
try it now you might like it it doesn't look the best i'm not gonna lie you dropped half of that
380
was that intentional that's horrendous it's not great wash it down with some filling I don't want that, is I?
381
I don't know what's in this.
382
It just looks like mush.
383
This is the filling.
384
This could go horribly.
385
Once you get your head around the texture of that, the flavour of it is actually really good.
386
Don't know what's in it.
387
Oh, perfect.
388
It's good though.
389
Potato wedge, some peas.
390
Shout out to the peas.
391
Just one of the most universal, you know, you can put peas in any and everything.
392
What is that?
393
A sweet potato?
394
No, it's just a potato wedge.
395
Oh.
396
Good.
397
I told you though, from this plate, I think the butternut squash is the winner.
398
Wow.
399
The butternut squash is fantastic.
400
I think I have to agree.
401
But I like the dried corn too, mix all that together.
402
Get some peas on there.
403
We're going to avoid the mac and cheese because...
404
We don't.
405
Round three.
406
This might be the final round before the showstopper.
407
Yeah.
408
Thank you.
409
Thank you.
410
She's the nicest lady ever.
411
right the showstopper is all of the desserts and baked goods
412
but we're going to get one final plate
413
so many dessert options you're not even ready no it's ridiculous
414
so this is one of the grill stations
415
and then on the board above it tells you what they're doing
416
so this is carved ham how do you say
417
that kill that's the kielbasa kielbasa smoked beef brisket and smoky cheesesteak with or without onions.
418
I mean the cheesesteak is here, look.
419
It looks so good and they're just putting it in baguettes, like what?
420
I know.
421
Oh my word.
422

467
Right now, I've lost my knife and fork again, and this time I haven't got a new one yet.
468
So, spoon it is.
469
We have a potato cake and a corn...
470
I've never had a corn fritter before is
471
that it's like a corn pancake yeah what is
472
that just like crushed i feel like i feel like this
473
needs something on it for it to look a little bit lame it does a little bit
474
so i apologize if i'm supposed to have this i'd imagine like you put some gravy on that
475
or something yeah what do we put on the corn fritters
476
yeah what that's true actually what's the maybe some apple sauce
477
oh now am i biased because
478
i am the corn boy no one is more obsessed with
479
corn on the cob than alex he loves corn my auntie makes these like corn ribs
480
and he goes through mounds of them like literally mountains they are
481
so good i'll give you guys the recipe the corn ribs
482
so you guys you know the movie interstellar well that's our favorite movie
483
and in that movie there's such a shortage of food
484
that all they can eat is corn they have like corn
485
souffle corn fritters corn soup corn ribs corn on the cob
486
sounds like a pretty good life to me you're not even
487
i don't mind it do you know what this corn fritter
488
is maybe my favorite thing of the day this man prefers corn on the cob than mac
489
and cheese yeah that's a crime that's a no -brainer no that's a crime no
490
because i tell you what corn on the club you can diversify it
491
so right okay you can choose your seasonings You could dip it in something, you could roll it in a little butter.
492
There are a thousand ways to do corn.
493
Three hours have passed, Alex is still speaking about the corn, so I'm going to indulge in the burger.
494
A little bit more on that.
495
You're actually joking right now.
496
The guy said, do you want a corn fritter?
497
I'm really glad he did.
498
OK, so we have got the beef burger that our lovely gentleman brought up to us.
499
Cheese in there, pickles and a bit of ketchup.
500
Can't go wrong.
501
this is like in the uk you're at a festival you're out
502
and you've got the burger truck yeah this is the burger truck burger big fan
503
try the corn fritter you won't regret it i promise take your spoon see what you're freaking out about
504
that's disgusting no have a day off no don't even lie to yourself what is
505
that it's phenomenal it's like a pancake with corn in it it's great that's awful that's oh guys
506
if you come to show you maple do not get
507
that no the corn boy approved that's right no will you stop
508
you're still eating the corner love it also i just realized
509
i've had my sunglasses on my head the whole time didn't mean to do
510
that i just genuinely forget that they're up there is so I don't lose them.
511
And then 20 minutes later, I remember they're there.
512
Anyway, potato cake?
513
It's not going to be the corn, though, is it?
514
OK, so that is, like, soft bubble and squeak.
515
Oh, OK.
516
Nice.
517
A little too salty for me, though.
518
It's very salty.
519
It's time.
520
And we're running out of time.
521
It's 20 past three now.
522
I know.
523
We've only got ten minutes left.
524
Better get going.
525
Oh, my goodness that apple crisp looks so good you know me
526
if it's got apples in it
527
if it's an apple dessert i mean what do we have
528
here roasted apples roasted apples try a couple of those we've
529
got the peach crisp at the back we've got apple dumplings
530
and then cherry cobbler cherry cobbler well i mean we'll just there's not much left of that
531
but we'll take a tiny little uh we'll give it a
532
go we'll take a tiny little piece just to give it
533
a give it a whirl that'll do we don't need to be greedy right
534
and then we have an ice cream machine
535
so you've got your soft serve vanilla and chocolate
536
and then all your toppings oh my are they marshmallows marshmallow reese's chocolate oreo chocolate chips
537
and then you've got all your drizzles and things here so like caramel raspberry
538
there's a marshmallows like look this is marshmallow what oh my god
539
and then these are all the pies Look at the pies.
540
Boston cream.
541
That's like a yellowy sponge.
542
I've not seen one like that before.
543
Chocolate cream, coconut custard, peach, cherry, apple.
544
The pecan is gone.
545
That must be a good one.
546
Blueberry.
547
What is shoe fly?
548
Never heard of that before.
549
No, me neither.
550
What on earth do we have here?
551
What are all these at the top?
552
These puddings, look.
553
No, this is insane.
554
What are these? cotton candy pudding i'm gonna have to try
555
that i don't even know what to call
556
that like it's not it's not like a move it's not ice cream what is
557
that i don't know we'll try it a little bit of
558
fruit you've got fruit salad sugar -free jello a little bit
559
of pineapple worm okay now sadly i can't actually indulge in any of the desserts
560
and baked goods because of my peanut and tree nut allergy um
561
but i just thought i'd mention it because
562
if you do have an allergy they're great here
563
and they just gave me this sheet of paper
564
which says my allergy and it tells me all the things on it
565
that i can't have unfortunately cakes pies any baked goods
566
and the sunday bar toppings are off the cards for me
567
so alex is going to indulge
568
and i'm just going to spectate then i guess it's dinner for six for one i take it we're saving
569
that thing's the end because what is
570
that candy floss pudding it does have the consistency of like
571
a mousse right yeah what did you just try the apple uh apple crisp it's an apple crumble
572
i feel like you need some custard or ice cream See, because Han can't take part, now it's just me and you guys.
573
How's your week going?
574
Cherry cobbler.
575
Now, if you guys have been to Shady Maple, I know for a fact that there's going to be things that we've missed.
576
So you're going to let us know what they are.
577
But I think we've covered a lot of the bases today.
578
I think we have.
579
Anyway, a little cherry cobbler.
580
Not me, literally just sat here, devastated that I can't try this right now.
581
Prefer the apple.
582
Still good, though.
583
I'm having a good time, see what's going on here, see who Mr Pineapple is when he's at home, mmm, right, right, can you hurry up and try this thing,
584
the anticipation is too much, what was it, cotton candy,
585
alright, this is going to be a love or hate I feel like,
586
interesting, it's not bad, the flavour is like pure sugar, this is going to sound terrible but it's not as terrible as it's about to sound,
587
it's like pure sugar mixed with paint, that's kind of how it comes across I don't really know how to portray this
588
that doesn't sound good to me what an unusual thing that's horrendous I mean it doesn't taste bad
589
but like sugar and paint guys do we think that's going to taste nice?
590
I think that sounds horrendous it is like a mousse
591
but it's so thick and like sugary
592
that I can't eat like more than three spoons of that like there's no way I could eat that
593
that's so cool it's really well done isn't it coaching in the palmy days what does this say here
594
born in 1921 and created this that's insane there's
595
so much like history
596
and character in this place it's much more than just like a yeah it's really cool
597
and they have a huge gift shop right yeah yeah look
598
visit our huge oh there's another one there oh my word look at the horses
599
it bears i know look at that what is that like a topiary like a rug or something
600
no topiary is a bush like a tree cutting oh my see what's going on down here oh oh oh it's
601
look how far it goes hang on a minute check out the santa clauses these are actually really nice
602
look at him they're really well made i like
603
that one too anything you could ever want they've got in
604
here i actually really like some of this stuff like look at
605
that little elf yeah it's actually
606
so cute shelf there like making a toy train right i thought i'd lost you
607

608

611

612
and there's also a hoodie here in multiple different colors you've
613
got the black one the blue one the gray one sorry
614
but look at the size of this shop like every corner
615
you turn it just keeps going i think it spans the
616
full length under the floor of the yeah restaurant itself right
617
well we're gonna have to call it in a minute
618
or we're gonna get lost in here like this this place
619
is enormous look at all these little guys up there there's so much stuff
620
all right i must say like we said we were a
621
little skeptical about this place very skeptical i think it's good
622
i think it's amazing i think it's good for for 20 bucks a piece
623
or 21 the amount of food you're getting is insane
624
and the variety and the quality of the food
625
and the food was largely i mean there were a couple of misses
626
but the food was largely really really good so
627

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.
