1
Please make a video about how you have come to this level of sounding very native.
2
I'm sure many of your fans, including me, want to hear your story.
3
Thanks in advance.
4
Well, thank you so much for your question.
5
I did work quite a bit on my American accent, so I'm going to tell you exactly what I did.
6
Before I get into that, though, I want to mention a couple of things.
7
First and foremost, changing your accent or adjusting your speech to a different language, to a different way of pronouncing things,
8
has some sort of psychological effect on us.
9
and then you're like, oh, this hurts, this hurts, this hurts.
10
It's because you have been doing some movements that you're not used to, that you haven't done before.
11
And because this feels like an effort, we are working with some muscles in our jaws here and our tongues and everything.
12
It does feel like it is harder to work on an accent or pronunciation.
13
So a lot of people choose not to do those things
14
and not to work with the muscles because that's what changing an accent is.
15
movements with your muscles around your mouth on your face.
16
So a lot of people choose to maintain their native language mouth
17
and pronounce the English words with the same native language mouth.
18
For example, the word cat.
19
cat.
20
If I said it in my Romanian native mouth, it would sound like cat.
21
kat because that's how i read c a and t for some other languages it could be cut
22
cut because the mouth doesn't open right so it doesn't go as cat right but it goes cut
23
cut because that's what that mouth is used to
24
so there's this misconception that
25
if someone's trying really hard to sound american they're trying to become american
26
and they don't want to lose their identity
27
or they don't want to lose their culture or their language
28
which brings me to my second point the fear of looking like you're pretending to be someone else
29
or that you want to become someone else many people think like
30
if i'm not american why should i try to sound like one a problem in itself if that's a choice, like if that's a conscious choice,
31
like you make it a point that you don't want to change the way you sound.
32
You don't want to have a perfect American or British or Australian accent.
33
That's fine.
34
But if you want to improve and you want to actually integrate and sound American,
35
then you have to let go of this irrational fear that you are pretending to be someone else.
36
Honestly, that's a little bit true.
37
Like you are about to change your facial way you open your mouth, the melody of your voice,
38
the tone, your reactions to certain things, what you say in certain situations.
39
However, I can guarantee you, you're a smart person.
40
So you're not going to lose your identity or your culture.
41
You're just going to improve it.
42
You're going to take whatever you love the most from your culture, and you're going to add whatever you love the most from a different culture.
43
Therefore, you're just going to become a more open -minded, rounded person that's all.
44
You just have to trust yourself a little more on that.
45
Okay, so let's start with what I did exactly to get my American accent to where it is today.
46
It's going to be a long one, so please grab a coffee or any other non -alcoholic beverage of your choice and sit back and relax.
47
Okay, so this is going to be a little bit of a timeline situation.
48
So let's start with seven years old, 1997.
49
So one day when I was seven, I turned the TV on.
50
There was a telenovela, soap opera, TV show situation on TV.
51
It was called Sunset Beach.
52
And it was about these like, you know, beautiful people running around on the beach, saving people.
53
There's lifeguards.
54
There's, I don't know, I think it was in somewhere, Santa Monica, somewhere in California.
55
I don't know where the action was happening.
56
But me being from Republic of Moldova,
57
from a tiny village, whoa.
58
Anyway, so obviously it was an American show, so I started watching it and started getting infatuated by the way they spoke,
59
and I started imitating them.
60
I started pretending I'm one of them.
61
For some reason, I started to also imitate exactly how they were talking.
62
Like, I was rolling my R's.
63
I was watching their mouths to see what were they doing so the sound comes out the way it did.
64
I would notice the this.
65
I would notice the nasal sounds and kind of like the deeper sounds,
66
the way they open their mouth really widely compared to how I was talking in Romanian.
67
So I was kind of absorbing little words, little bits and pieces.
68
The show was translated in Romanian, so I would, or there were Romanian subtitles.
69
So I would listen to English and kind of see what
70
that meant without knowing what the words actually looked like written in English.
71
I only knew them by So then in second grade in 1998, when I was eight years old,
72
we had to choose a foreign language to start learning in school.
73
So our school offered French and English and we had to choose between.
74
these two.
75
My parents chose English because they kind of noticed already that I was into English, so might as well.
76
Maybe many of you don't know this, but in Republic of Moldova and in many European countries, learning a foreign language is a mandatory subject.
77
It's not something that my parents chose to put me in, or it was an extracurricular activity.
78
No, it was just part of the curriculum.
79
So it was 30 people in our class or 28 or something like that, 30 or 31.
80
And somewhere around that number.
81
And English was just like math or Romanian or physics or any other subject.
82
Well, not physics in second grade, but just like whatever basic subjects we had.
83
It was maybe once or twice a week.
84
We had it with a teacher who was, I think, Ukrainian that had moved to Moldova.
85
She had a good accent, but it wasn't perfect.
86
Let's just say that.
87
So when we practicing at home.
88
So for some reason, I just imagined that I knew things.
89
And then we would learn first the basics, you know, the numbers and the fruits and veggies and body parts and all of that.
90
But then we would start obviously moving into some word groups or some sentences and just kind of doing our basic,
91
you know, textbook English.
92
But then I would take that and I would go home
93
and I would keep doing my imitation play with my shows
94
and then I would connect the knowledge that I had gotten from school with what I was saying.
95
So then I started recognizing these patterns
96
like "oh okay plurals" "oh okay he /she gets s" at the end of the verb.
97
So little things like that that started to make sense in my head.
98
However there was nobody for me to practice with.
99
Nobody spoke English.
100
I had no friends who spoke English.
101
The only person that would speak English decently was our teacher and we barely spoke in class.
102
You know how it is.
103
But I was slowly starting to get obsessed with English, with American English.
104
So when I would come to school and we had to read, I don't know, a sentence or something, I would roll my R's and I would open my mouth.
105
And kids started making fun of me because they were like, oh, look at her, the American.
106
But jokes on them because a year later,
107
and whatever else they needed to copy my answers at tests.
108
So they wanted the American to help them.
109
And here's an interesting fact here.
110
Whenever someone came to me asking for help with their homework, for example, what tense should I use here?
111
Present, perfect or past simple i could have just given them the answer like use this
112
but no i was like okay well let's look at it
113
what do you think you should use here they were like bro just give me the answer
114
and i was like no no like let's see why are we using present perfect here
115
and then i would ask them questions and then they would actually start thinking
116
and then i would make them get to the right answer and then i was like
117
hold on do i like teaching so going back to my attitude towards learning english
118
and my accent so a few years down the road i was learning english in school i wasn't speaking much because
119
it's just a normal old school traditional teaching method so then i discovered these little
120
tricks and little tools to make my pronunciation better and my accent a lot smoother.
121
Things like tongue twisters.
122
And I thought they were pretty funny because the more you said those things, the more melody you learned.
123
So then I realized like, oh, English accent and pronunciation is not only about the words
124
and how to pronounce each word like in an isolated way right it's about how you connect them
125
so then I learned about okay connected speech because
126
when I was listening to the actors talking in these shows
127
they wouldn't stop after each word right like we would read a text in English class
128
and kids would actually break after robotic.
129
So then I was like, no, no, no, that's not how they talk though.
130
Then tongue twisters, repetition, and connected speech kind of started to slowly become a part of my learning,
131
even though they weren't necessarily part of the curriculum.
132
Like nobody was talking about these things at school.
133
So I took these things and I continued my mirror talk, right?
134
Like I was imagining that thing that I would say to anybody in my life would be in English.
135
Like if I was mad at my mom, I would answer to her in my head.
136
Like I would talk back to her in my head, but in English.
137
If I had like some beef with someone at school, I would imagine that I would like tell them off in English.
138
If I, I don't know, I wanted to share my opinions about something,
139
I was doing that in was around or talking in front of the mirror or like mouthing,
140
like pretending I was talking.
141
And then I would go back to school, get a little bit more knowledge, but it got to a point where I was kind of going a little bit ahead of the curriculum
142
and of the textbook.
143
And I thought, you know, whatever we were studying wasn't enough.
144
So then I was really, really happy when we had a couple of English teachers coming.
145
Well, they weren't real English teachers, just Peace Corps the U .S to our village,
146
they were Americans to teach us English and they were like 23,
147
24 year old people, very young people who would just have a couple classes with us throughout the week
148
and then they would do some little activities like hip -hop dancing
149
or basketball and then obviously you would have to talk to them in English.
150
So we had like a little bit of exposure to a real I was like,
151
oh my God, this person talks just like the people in the movies.
152
So it's not just, it's not fake.
153
It's real.
154
This is how they talk.
155
And then I would listen to my teacher and I was like, I don't think that's the best thing source for me to learn.
156
So I was kind of a terrible student
157
because I would correct my teacher or I would kind of like make little jokes.
158
I feel bad about it.
159
I shouldn't have done it, but I was a kid and I just, you know, I thought that I'm the shit.
160
But up until that point, I think the biggest realization, the biggest thing that I learned was that In school, we only focused on grammar,
161
on some vocabulary words that we didn't really need and a lot of written information, a lot of written work.
162
There was no talk about melody.
163
There's no talk about tone.
164
There's no talk about connected speech.
165
There is no speaking activities.
166
There was no practice activities.
167
It was just reading and writing.
168
Anyway, so I was a good student.
169
I was getting good grades.
170
I was going to all these like national contests or whatever.
171
Maybe not national, like district maybe.
172
So I kind this illusion in my head that I was really good at English, right?
173
And I kind of was in a school, from a school perspective.
174
So I graduated high school, I went to university, and guess what?
175
No, I did not apply to an English major or something related to English or languages.
176
No, I applied for economic studies.
177
I applied to be an accountant.
178
Clearly, you can see that was not my calling, true vocation in life.
179
However, in that first year, I discovered this work and travel program,
180
which allows you to go to the United States for a summer and work there.
181
And usually the jobs are in hospitality, either restaurants, hotels, amusement parks, and stuff like that.
182
So I begged my parents to help me out and to come up with the money because it was quite expensive.
183
And I went before going that set me up with the job was like, your English is so good.
184
You're going to do amazing.
185
Like there is not a lot of people with such good English coming out of high school.
186
And I was like, oh yeah.
187
Oh yeah.
188
America, here I come.
189
And then my job was a line cook in a seafood restaurant in Alaska, in a very small fishing village.
190
And needless to say, I was...
191
I had like a rude awakening of how badly I knew English, actually. And...
192
not speaking it because I would speak it decently.
193
People would understand what I would say, right?
194
But it was the listening part that was terrible and the actual change of a setting, right?
195
I was in a fast -paced environment.
196
That was my first job ever.
197
I was in a foreign country.
198
I didn't think to learn kitchen vocabulary.
199
I didn't think to learn what's a lid.
200
There was like a lot of different tools and equipment in that kitchen that when they would ask me to bring something, I would freeze.
201
Like, and I was so ashamed to ask what it is because I knew it was something simple.
202
I literally cried for the first two weeks.
203
It was so hard.
204
It was so nerve -wracking.
205
On my feet for, I don't know, nine, ten hours, my shoes would get wet from all, like, the water and, like, there was oil everywhere.
206
It was just not a great environment.
207
But then I made the decision that I have to come back, not to Alaska, but go back to the U .S for another summer,
208
somewhere else, somewhere warmer where I would make a little bit more money.
209
I would travel.
210
So that's what I did.
211
I went home, graduated from accounting, and then I decided to apply for a master's degree
212
just to be able to go to the United States again because I had to be a student.
213
However, I picked a major that made sense.
214
interpretation in English.
215
And it was a lot better because all the activities
216
and all the curriculum and everything would be kind of focused around translation and not only written translation, but conference interpretation.
217
It's like simultaneous translation.
218
Like you hear me talk and I have to translate at the same time.
219
And that's really hard.
220
And we would do actual practical activities.
221
And I love that.
222
That challenged me a lot.
223
So while I was in my offered an English teaching job.
224
like a part -time English teaching job.
225
Actually, I wasn't offered it.
226
I applied for it.
227
I wanted to to get a job to make some extra money.
228
So I applied, I got hired, and I left for the states for a summer.
229
I worked as a bartender at this time so my accent improved
230
so much more because as a bartender you have to talk to people.
231
You have to talk to your colleagues, you have to talk to your customers continuously.
232
Like it never stops.
233
Now the fact that I was surrounded by native speakers was great.
234
But I couldn't really understand a lot of the things they were saying to me.
235
I couldn't understand their jokes.
236
I couldn't really understand their references.
237
I couldn't understand, you know, their like.. comments and little notes on things.
238
I would just kind of like pretend I was laughing.
239
I'm sure most of the times I wouldn't, you know, my reaction wouldn't match with what they would say.
240
And yeah, it was kind of awkward, but listen, I'm not from here, okay?
241
You gotta adjust your speech to me.
242
So it was quite difficult to do a job because not only I had to learn how to make
243
that there was no time for me to go and check a book.
244
I had to like remember all the recipes, take the orders, punch them in, do all the payments, make the drinks,
245
you know, talk to whoever else was around me because we had like bartender assistants, talk to the guests in front of me who were watching.
246
Not only that, but I was also focusing on,
247
you know, catching what they sits at the bar and they want to be entertained.
248
They want to talk to you.
249
They want to have a good time.
250
They don't understand that you're like, struggling and you're trying to do like a million things at once they just feel like
251
you know you're a pro and you can handle it
252
and you're there for them and you are in a way
253
but you're also doing a million other things
254
so in a way i wasn't at
255
that time consciously trying to work on my accent
256
but i had to because i would listen to what people would say
257
and then i would kind of mimic what they would say right i would just continue
258
that imitation game you have to remember at that time
259
when i was learning english i didn't have a phone i didn't have internet like 12, 13, 14, 15, and a lot of people think like,
260
"Oh my God, it took you so long to get to this level.
261
I you know don't have
262
that time i don't want to invest this much time you
263
don't have to invest this much time anymore you have you have this
264
that is so valuable that has
265
so much in it you have apps for everything you have
266
ai for everything you can find people to talk to real
267
people native speakers to talk to at any time of the day
268
or night right i didn't have any of that so you can cut my timeline,
269
how long it took me to learn English into probably like five.
270
So you only need a couple years.
271
So you're good.
272
So I left the U .S.
273
I went back to Moldova.
274
I continued teaching English.
275
I opened my own school and then four or five years later we decided to go to Canada.
276
So in 2018 we finish.
277
was good at this point, right?
278
Because I had studied it, I had practiced it, I had taught it, right?
279
But when I arrived to Canada, a lot of people, like I would say one sentence, and they'd be like, "Oh, where are you from?" And I was like, hold on.
280
I thought I had a really good accent.
281
I went to the US twice.
282
People were like surprised by my English.
283
Oh, I thought you were from here.
284
That's what they were telling me.
285
But in Canada, people are like, Oh, where are you from?
286
And then it was so funny.
287
Later, I was watching some of my stories from 2018 on Instagram.
288
And when I was speaking English, and I was like, she has an accent i can hear it now
289
so in canada yes i was aware that i had an accent but i didn't really know exactly what
290
it was like what the issue was
291
so i wasn't really consciously working on it i was just
292
kind of like going with the flow i got hired um
293
at a restaurant i started serving then i started uh
294
or then i got promoted into restaurant management
295
so then i had to learn kind of like a different side of english
296
which is more professional more polished kind of business english not super corporate but i was
297
representative of a company so I had to observe and learn how people were communicating.
298
So I had to upgrade my vocabulary a little bit, my expressions, the way I communicated some things, both pleasant and unpleasant.
299
I learned how to choose my words carefully.
300
I learned how to provide feedback.
301
Anyway, that's a whole nother video.
302
The point is I elevated my English because of this job.
303
And if you're an English learner, you know this, you're always kind of paying attention.
304
attention to what people say, how people say it, what exactly, you know, what is the expression they used, what is the word they used.
305
You're always kind of aware of how people talk.
306
So then in 2024, we left Canada.
307
Now I'm traveling.
308
I'm speaking English to people from different countries not english -speaking countries right and it's not really about how perfect
309
other people's English is.
310
It's about how you connect to people.
311
And accent is important, yes, because you want to be clear.
312
You want people to understand you.
313
Because let me tell you, I've had some difficult situations.
314
Accents are not the most important thing in learning a language, as long as you are clear enough so people can understand what you're saying,
315
so you can connect to them, you can And even though I teach English and I have all this experience,
316
I still have an accent and I'm trying to improve it by practicing English a lot.
317
Like these videos that I do, you know, going live on TikTok, doing all these lessons with my students.
318
This is me practicing too.
319
It never stops.
320
Learning never stops.
321
Right.
322
So if a native speaker would hear me, they would say I have an accent.
323
English and they're at the beginning they would think I'm a native speaker, right?
324
It's all about perception.
325
The important thing is
326
as long as you keep practicing you're going to be improving
327
you know i still do tongue twisters every day i still try to whenever i watch tv
328
and i and i see a word
329
that i didn't really know how to read before how to
330
say before then i practice it like for example um hierarchy hierarchy i used to say it's hierarchy
331
or something you know and then i hear it And then I'm like, oh, hierarchy.
332
Learning never stops.
333
Anyway, thank you so much for watching.
334
I'm going to be posting a lot more kind of like story vibe videos
335
and just kind of explaining a little bit more about who I am, why I'm here.
336
Obviously, I've had my TikTok for a long, well, not a long time, but probably a year now.
337
So if you came from there or if you follow me there,
338
a lot more time to ramble and yap.
339
On top of that, I'm planning to post a lot more complete English lessons here.
340
So yeah, if you want to keep up with that, Make sure you follow.
341
Not follow.

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.
