  • "lower the risk": Reduce the chance of something happening. Example: "Eating veggies can lower the risk of illness."

Master the Accent with Shadowing

To nail the pronunciation, focus on the speaker’s casual tone and pauses. Notice how "Hey Grandpa" is spoken with a warm, conversational rhythm—imitate that using shadow speak! For medical terms like "enlarged prostate," stress the first syllable of "enlarged" (en-LARJD) and keep "prostate" short (PRAH-state). Practice repeating the doctor’s explanation: "The exact cause isn’t known, but aging and hormone changes..."—this will help you flow through longer sentences. Use the shadowspeak method: pause, repeat, and match the speed. You’ll improve English pronunciation in no time!

With its mix of everyday chat and clear explanations, this video is a goldmine for learners ready to level up their speaking. Grab your device, hit play, and start shadowing—your progress will show!
