Практика Shadowing: want to fix your English accent? (start here.) - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

Hello to my 400,000 plus amazing subscribers.

Welcome back to English is easy with Connor.

Today we are going to be working on your English pronunciation and speaking skills.

In particular we will be focusing on long vowel sounds to make your English sound more natural and native.

Here's how it works.

All you need to do is say the sentence that you see with me or repeat it after me.

The sentence will get longer and more difficult as we go along.

So click like and make sure you watch till the end to get best results.

Here we are starting off at level one with a long A sound.

Before we jump in, practice that sound with me.

A, A, A, A, A, A, A.

Okay, let's do a slow read of the level one sentence.

Are you ready?

Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.

Okay, great.

Kate takes train, main.

Yeah, let's try this again at a medium speed.

A little bit faster now.

Ready?

Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.

And now, one last time at a quick native speed.

Ready?

Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.

Awesome job.

Let's go ahead and level this sentence up to level two.

As you can see, we have taken the sentence and we've stretched it longer.

We have added some long E sounds.

Let's practice that sound before we jump in.

Say with me.

E, E, E.

Okay.

Let's jump in with a slow read from the beginning,

Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.

And she sees three elegant dresses in a window,

but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one.

Okay, so our main character here is out shopping, right?

Getting a gift for her friend Grace.

And what does she see?

She sees three elegant dresses.

What does elegant mean?

maybe a little bit fancy nice looks really good maybe a long flowing dress could be an elegant dress

and K however she does not buy the dress because she needs to see the price before she agrees.

Let's say this whole thing again, this time at a medium speed.

Are you ready?

Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.

and she sees three elegant dresses in a window,

but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one.

Okay, that is really giving your mouth a workout, but let's try one more time at a fast native speed.

This is how I would really speak and say the sentence naturally.

Ready?

Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace,

and she sees three elegant dresses in a window, but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one.

leveling up again here we are at level three we've stretched

the sentence even longer with some long I sounds practice

that sound with me I I I words like the Side and try,

find, nice, tie, stylish, white.

Those use the long I vowel sound.

So this time, let's begin at a medium speed.

Okay, from the beginning, a little faster,

Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.

and she sees three elegant dresses in a window,

but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one.

So she decides to try a different store where she finds a nice silk tie and a stylish white shirt.

okay yeah nice job guys can we try it again at

a quick speed native speed here we go say with me

Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace

and she sees three elegant dresses in a window

but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one

so she decides to try a different store where she finds a nice silk tie and a stylish white shirt

okay

so she is at a different store a different shop we

could say she finds a silk tie there okay stylish white

shirt what is stylish means it looks good how could we say that a different way How could we paraphrase that?

Maybe fashionable, a fashionable white shirt.

Maybe we could say chic, a chic, chic white shirt.

They both mean stylish.

Looks good, right?

Okay, let's level up once more to level four.

Here we go.

This sentence is becoming quite challenging,

quite difficult you can see from here we have added the long o vowel sound oh though knows

so slowly goes right okay so let's begin at a medium speed From the beginning,

Kate takes a train to the main shopping street to find a great gift for her friend Grace.

And she sees three elegant dresses in a window,

but she needs to see the price before she agrees to buy one.

So she decides to try a different store where she finds a nice silk tie and a stylish white shirt,

though she knows her friend doesn't wear ties.

So she slowly puts it back and goes to look for something else.

Okay, nice.

So I guess Kate's friend, she doesn't wear ties.

So she puts the tie back and she puts it back slowly, slowly.

And then she goes, goes to look for something else.

All right.

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.
