Hello everyone and welcome to English with Lucy.
2
This is the first video of my very special five-day shadowing challenge.
3
Shadowing is a technique where you speak along with or just after another speaker.
4
The goal is to copy the speaker's pronunciation,
5
rhythm and intonation, helping you to sound more natural in English.
6
It will take you less than 30 minutes per day to make a noticeable improvement in your English.
7
Across the next five days,
8
we're following a connected story while you practice six short texts,
9
two at each level, B1, B2 and C1.
10
On day one, we're focusing on vocabulary.
11
Day two is grammar, day three is pronunciation,
12
and day four is a conversation.
13
On day five, we'll do a review and then a final test.
14
Now here's the exciting part.
15
I've created a free online course to help everything you learn over these five days really stick in your mind.
16
It's called the Consolidation Course.
17
You'll get extra lessons, interactive vocabulary banks and engaging exercises that go far beyond what we can cover here.
18
Each day, new materials unlock to match that day's lesson.
19
You can access day one right now by signing up using the link in the description box
20
or you can scan the qr code on screen once you've
21
signed up you can start the exercises for free straight away oh
22
and one more thing
23
when you join the consolidation course you will automatically be added
24
to my black friday waiting list i save my biggest discounts
25
and best offers on my b1 b2 and c1 courses for black Friday.
26
So if you're serious about taking your English to the next level,
27
you'll want to be on that list.
28
I've already decided my Black Friday offer and it's bigger and better than ever.
29
So click the link below or scan the QR code to unlock the consolidation course
30
and join the waiting list for Black Friday.
31
Let's start with B1, the intermediate level of English.
32
The first time, shadow me or pause and repeat after me if you want to.
33
You'll hear the text again after we've looked at the vocabulary.
34
I'm planning my next big adventure and I'm keen to do a road trip and rent a cottage in the countryside somewhere.
35
Let's go through some words and phrases.
36
First, keen.
37
If you're keen to do something,
38
you want to do it very much.
39
Use the long E sound,
40
keen, and the weak form of two before consonant sounds.
41
Keen to do.
42
Keen to do.
43
Our next phrase is road trip.
44
This is a long trip or holiday that you take by car.
45
Next, cottage.
46
A cottage is a small house, often in the countryside.
47
Make sure to get the I sound in the second syllable.
48
It's cottage, not cottage.
49
Use the weak form a again for the article.
50
A cottage.
51
Remember, you can practice what you're learning with the consolidation course that goes with this video.
52
It's free.
53
Now, try shadowing me again.
54
I've marked the text on screen with the words and sounds we've talked about.
55
I'm planning my next big adventure and I'm keen to do a road trip and rent a cottage in the countryside somewhere.
56
Here's the next part of our story at B1.
57
Shadow me or listen, pause and repeat after me.
58
I'd love to explore more of the UK,
59
but I keep changing my mind about the exact destination.
60
We'll look at three pieces of vocabulary now.
61
First, to explore.
62
This means to travel around a place to see what it's like.
63
The stress is on the second syllable, explore.
64
Our next phrase is to change your mind.
65
If you change your mind,
66
you change your decision or opinion about something.
67
And third, we have destination.
68
This is the place where someone is going.
69
The third syllable is stressed and T-I-O-N is pronounced shun, destination.
70
Before you shadow me again,
71
let's look at some linking sounds that make these words easier to say.
72
I add a soft w sound to glide between two explore, to explore.
73
I also use a linking er to join more of, more of.
74
And I use a soft y to link the two vowel sounds in the and exact.
75
The exact.
76
Now shadow me again.
77
I'd love to explore more of the UK,
78
but I keep changing my mind about the exact destination.
79
If you're working towards B1,
80
imagine learning English by living it, not just studying it.
81
In my beautiful British English B1 programme,
82
you'll follow our fictional character,
83
Grace, as she moves from Scotland to Australia,
84
meets new people and starts a new job.
85
Every chapter of her story is filled with the real vocabulary you need for daily life.
86
Travel, work, family and everyday conversations.
87
You'll get 14 vocabulary lessons expertly designed by experienced curriculum designers of interactive exercises,
88
downloadable PDFs, and vocabulary banks with audio pronunciation guides for every new word and phrase.
89
By the end, English won't feel like something you're studying.
90
It'll feel like something that's already part of you.
91
And don't forget, Black Friday week is coming and trust me,
92
you'll be so glad you're on the list.
93
The discounts and bonuses are unbelievable and they'll help you begin your journey to natural, confident English.
94
We're moving on to B2 now,
95
the upper intermediate level of English.
96
Here's the next part of the story.
97
Remember, shadow me this time if you want to,
98
or listen, pause and repeat after me.
99
I've got quite a modest budget,
100
so I need to be careful with money,
101
but I've decided to just go for it.
102
I really want to make the most of my precious time off.
103
Let's go through some vocabulary.
104
Modest means small in amount or not expensive.
105
A budget is the amount of money available to spend on something.
106
So, a modest budget is a fairly small amount of money.
107
Like with cottage, pronounce the final syllables with an i sound.
108
Modest.
109
Budget.
110
Not modest or budget.
111
Modest budget.
112
Next, the phrase to make the most of something.
113
Meaning to use or enjoy something as much as possible.
114
Notice the weak form of, not of.
115
To make the most of something.
116
And finally, we have precious,
117
which means very important and valuable.
118
Something you don't want to waste.
119
It's pronounced precious with a sh, not precious.
120
Precious.
121
Make sure you've joined the consolidation course to explore these ideas in more depth and see how they work in real life.
122
Alright, shadow me again.
123
I've got quite a modest budget,
124
so I need to be careful with money,
125
but I've decided to just go for it.
126
I really want to make the most of my precious time off.
127
Are you ready for the next part?
128
Shadow me now or listen,
129
pause and repeat after me.
130
The idea of going somewhere fairly isolated has captured my imagination.
131
It'd give me the chance to truly relax.
132
I always struggle to do that in a city or anywhere that's absolutely packed.
133
Now, our vocabulary.
134
First, isolated, meaning far away from other people, buildings or places.
135
Stress the first syllable.
136
Isolated.
137
To capture means to make someone feel very interested or excited about something.
138
Notice how I pronounce it.
139
Capture.
140
Capture.
141
With a ch sound in the middle.
142
In the passage, it was used in the collocation, captured my imagination.
143
Next, the verb to struggle means to find something difficult or to have trouble doing it.
144
We often say you struggle to do something.
145
And our final word, packed, meaning completely full.
146
You can say this place is packed,
147
meaning very crowded with lots of people.
148
Or packed with.
149
The documentary was packed with fascinating facts.
150
Shadow me again now.
151
The idea of going somewhere fairly isolated has captured my imagination.
152
It'd give me the chance to truly relax.
153
I always struggle to do that in a city or anywhere that's absolutely packed.
154
If you're ready to reach B2 and speak with real fluency,
155
you will love my beautiful British English B2 programme.
156
You'll follow our character Ryan,
157
who's just moved to the UK,
158
as he settles into a new life,
159
finding a flat, making friends,
160
navigating British culture and learning to fit in.
161
Through his story, you'll learn hundreds of expressions,
162
idioms and collocations that we Brits use to talk about relationships,
163
work, money and everyday situations.
164
You'll get 12 expertly designed vocabulary lessons with hundreds of interactive exercises,
165
downloadable PDFs, and vocabulary banks with audio pronunciation guides for every expression.
166
By the end, you'll stop translating in your head.
167
English will simply flow.
168
And keep an eye out for Black Friday because it will be the moment you turn your English goals into a reality.
169
We're talking big discounts, incredible bonuses and a chance to take your fluency further than ever at the best price ever.
170
Okay, are you ready for C1?
171
This is the advanced level of English.
172
Shadow me or listen, pause and repeat after me.
173
That's the only fly in the ointment,
174
the crowds in some places during high season.
175
The Scottish Highlands, a lifelong bucket list entry,
176
has emerged as the ideal shoulder season spot.
177
Our first phrase is the idiom,
178
the fly in the ointment.
179
And this is a small problem or disadvantage that spoils something that is otherwise very good.
180
You'll also hear a fly in the ointment.
181
You can use a y sound to glide smoothly between fly and in and the and ointment.
182
Fly in the ointment.
183
Now, high season.
184
This is the time of year when a place receives the most visitors.
185
Shoulder season is the time between high and low season,
186
so there are some tourists, but not tons.
187
Then we have the compound adjective lifelong,
188
referring to something that has existed or lasted for your whole life.
189
And And finally, bucket list.
190
A list of things you want to do or experience in your lifetime.
191
Lots of high level vocabulary there.
192
Don't forget to join the consolidation course to practice what you're learning.
193
Are you ready?
194
Shadow me again now.
195
That's the only fly in the ointment.
196
The crowds in some places during high season.
197
The Scottish Highlands, a lifelong bucket list entry,
198
has emerged as the ideal shoulder season spot.
199
Okay, let's finish the story now.
200
Shadow me or listen, pause and repeat after me.
201
It looks like I'll be spoilt for choice with its blend of rugged coastlines,
202
historic villages and the legendary Loch Ness.
203
Okay, vocabulary.
204
First, we have the lovely idiom to be spoilt for choice,
205
meaning to have so many good options that it's hard to choose.
206
Use the weak form f here.
207
Spoilt for choice.
208
Next, we have blend, meaning a mixture of different things that go well together.
209
It's also a verb, meaning to mix different things well.
210
After that, rugged.
211
This refers to rough, wild, often rocky land.
212
And did you notice this irregular ED adjective is pronounced with two syllables?
213
Rugged, not rugged.
214
Rugged.
215
Our last word is legendary.
216
In this context, it means very famous.
217
Loch Ness is famous, legendary.
218
But it also plays with another meaning of legendary,
219
meaning from a legend, an ancient story like the Loch Ness Monster.
220
I pronounce this word with three syllables, legendary.
221
Copy that as you shadow the final line again.
222
It looks like I'll be spoilt for choice with its blend of rugged coastlines,
223
historic villages and the legendary Loch Ness.
224
At the C1 level, English becomes personal.
225
It becomes much more about nuance and how you express yourself with precise language.
226
In my beautiful British English C1 programme,
227
you'll follow Lottie as she starts over,
228
builds new friendships, and finds her place in a British village community.
229
You'll receive 12 expertly designed vocabulary lessons,
230
complete with hundreds of reinforcing interactive exercises,
231
downloadable PDFs, and vocabulary banks covering advanced topics like lifestyle,
232
rural and city living, comedy,
233
personalities and fitting in, job hunting, and freelancing.
234
Each week, the language gets richer,
235
your understanding becomes deeper, and your confidence grows stronger.
236
By the end, you'll speak with nuance,
237
subtlety, and natural rhythm, the way fluent speakers do.
238
And don't forget, we're just a few weeks away from Black Friday,
239
the time you invest in yourself and your goals.
240
The biggest discounts of the year are heading your way and they'll open the door to the advanced English you've always wanted.
241
Well, my lovely students, you have just finished day one of the five-day shadowing challenge,
242
where we focused on vocabulary across the B1, B2 and C1 levels.
243
I hope you're already starting to feel more confident using these new words and expressions in your own speech.
244
On day two, we'll continue with the same story,
245
but we'll switch our attention to the grammar and how it gradually becomes more advanced.
246
If you haven't accessed your day one consolidation course yet, do that now.
247
Now is the perfect time.
248
The link is in the description or you can scan the QR code on screen now to get started.
249
It's free.
250
I can't wait to see you for day two.
251
Bye!

Tekrar etmeye değer cümleler

Videodan, günlük konuşmada yeniden kullanabileceğiniz kısa ve tam cümleler:

  • On day one, we're focusing on vocabulary.
  • Let's go through some words and phrases.
  • We'll look at three pieces of vocabulary now.
  • It'll feel like something that's already part of you.
  • Are you ready for the next part?

Bu videodaki dil bilgisi

Konuşmacının en çok kullandığı yapılar, videodaki sözcüklerin aynısıyla:

YapıVideoda
Present perfect have/has + fiilin üçüncü hâli — geçmişte olan ama şimdi de önemli olan bir eylemI've created · I've already decided · we've looked
Edilgen yapı be + fiilin üçüncü hâli — kimin yaptığı değil, ne olduğu önemlibe added · is pronounced · is filled

Dikkat edilecek telaffuzlar

Konuşmacı you'll, you're, I've gibi kısaltılmış biçimleri 64 kez kullanıyor. Bunları duyduğunuz gibi kısa söyleyin.

  • “th” sesleri: rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, smoothly /ˈsmuːðli/
  • “sh” ve “zh” sesleri: consolidation /kənˌsɑləˈdeɪʃən/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, collocation /ˌkɑ.ləˈkeɪ.ʃən/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/, fictional /ˈfɪkʃənəl/

Türkçe konuşanların zorlandığı sesler:

  • Kelime başındaki ünsüz kümesi — araya ünlü eklemeyin: pronounce /pɹəˈnaʊns/, spoil /spɔɪl/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, blend /blɛnd/, scan /skæn/
  • /æ/ — “e”den daha açık: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, interactive /ˌɪn.tɚˈæk.tɪv/, scan /skæn/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/

Bu videoyla nasıl çalışılır

  1. Videonun tamamını konuşmadan bir kez dinleyin ve bilmediğiniz kelimeleri not edin.
  2. Normal hızda cümle cümle tekrar edin; ritminiz konuşmacıyla aynı olana kadar her cümleyi yineleyin.
  3. Kendinizi kaydedin ve orijinaliyle karşılaştırın; vocabulary, syllable, modest gibi kelimelere özellikle dikkat edin.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
