Shadowing Practice: Repeat-After-Me + Shadowing: Assimilations - Learn English Speaking with Video
Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
Hey guys and welcome back to another Shadowing Practice or welcome if you're new here to my channel.
2
My name is Claire and I am a native speaker from the United States and I'm an online English teacher.
3
If you want to work on your pronunciation or accent in American English,
4
I also specialize in the International Phonetic Alphabet as a trained opera singer.
5
So I have studied multiple languages and specifically the pronunciation of different sounds
6
and how to achieve an authentic sound in different languages.
7
So I can help you do the same with a standard American English accent.
8
Now, I've done a lot of shadowing practice videos because it is one of the best ways to work on your pronunciation, but also your overall fluency of the language.
9
And so usually the tips I point out in these types of videos has to do with connected speech.
10
And that is the natural way that native speakers end up speaking in English.
11
And in particular, I'm going to talk about one speech, which we call assimilation.
12
Assimilation is when One sound changes because of a neighboring sound.
13
So if we have a combination of certain sounds in English, assimilation sometimes will happen.
14
So one sound will completely change.
15
As I said, this is a form of connected speech
16
and there are a couple different instances of assimilation that we can look at.
17
So in our shadowing practice today,
18
I will point out these different types English speaking to sound more natural, more fluent.
19
OK.
20
Let's go.
21
English made easy with Claire.
22
All right, so as always, first listen and then repeat after me and then we will shadow later.
23
So I was waiting in line at the train station cafe, looking at the departure screen.
24
Your turn.
25
I was waiting in line at the train station cafe, looking at the departure screen,
26
which was riddled with delays.
27
which was riddled with delays.
28
I thought Can't you just be on time for once?
29
Thank you.
30
Thank you.
31
I thought, Can't you just be on time for once?
32
Thank you.
33
Don't you hate it when public transport is delayed?
34
Thank you.
35
Don't you hate it when public transport is delayed?
36
Okay, so in this first section of our story, we have the first instance of assimilation,
37
when a T sound is followed by a /j /.
38
Sound which is very often represented by the letter Y in English.
39
And when we have these two sounds next to each other, it creates a new sound completely,
40
which is often represented by CH in English.
41
So the "ch" sound.
42
Okay, so we don't have can't you.
43
But can't you?
44
Can't you?
45
Can't you just be on time for once?
46
And we also see it with don't plus you.
47
It's not don't you, but don't you?
48
Don't you hate it?
49
Don't you?
50
Okay, so this isn't slang or lazy speaking.
51
It is actually just a natural way of speaking.
52
So it is perfectly normal in any situation to use this kind of pronunciation when speaking.
53
So now let's shadow this first paragraph.
54
So you're going to say it at the same time as me matching my speech.
55
Ready?
56
I was waiting in line at the train station cafe, Looking at the departure screen, which was riddled with delays.
57
I thought, "Can't you just be on time for once?" Don't you hate it when public transport is delayed?
58
As we go through this practice, you can also build your vocabulary through these stories.
59
So another great benefit of shadowing practice is not only getting to...
60
Speak naturally, but I also try and use idioms or common phrases
61
or phrasal verbs in these stories so that you guys can see them
62
and how they're used in context and build your vocabulary with anything that's new to you.
63
So for example, we have that the departure screen was riddled with delays.
64
And if something is riddled with something, it means that there are delays all over the screen.
65
So if something is covered in something, or there is just a lot of something,
66
on something you could say it's riddled with that thing.
67
I'll be sure to point out any other vocabulary like this as we go on.
68
Before we do move on, if you're enjoying this practice so far, do give this video a like,

72
Okay, repeat after me.
73
After ordering at the cafe, my number was finally called.
74
And again, after ordering at the cafe, my number was finally called.
75
And the server asked, "Did you order the large iced latte?" And the server asked,
76
"Did you order the large iced latte?" I nodded and realized my train was arriving.
77
I nodded and realized my train was arriving.
78
She added, "Would you like a receipt?" She added,
79
"Would you like a receipt?" Thank you.
80
but I was in a rush.
81
So I shook my head and took off.
82
but I was in a rush.
83
So I shook my head.
84
and took off.
85
Okay, here we have when a word ends with a D, so the D sound, and is followed by this Y.
86
sound.
87
So just like in the phrase, did you, when we have the d and y sound next to each other, this creates a new sound.
88
sounding like J So not did you, but Did you? Did you?
89
"Did you order the large iced latte?" And we also have "would" and "you" next to each other.
90
So it sounds like Would you? Would you?
91
Would you like a receipt?
92
All right.
93
And before we shadow this section, I want to point out the vocabulary I nodded.
94
And that means to move your head up and down to indicate Yes.
95
And we also have I shook my head which means to move your head from side to side, which indicates
96
No. And we also have the phrasal verb:
97
to take off in the context of I took off and
98
that means I left usually implying
99
that you're leaving in a hurry right I took off I had to go quickly so I took off Okay, shadow me.
100
Here we go.
101
After ordering at the cafe, my number was finally called And the server asked, Did you order the large iced latte?
102
I nodded and realized my train was arriving.
103
She added, "Would you like a receipt?" but I was in a rush, so I shook my head and took off.
104
Okay, repeat after me.
105
The train was really full, but luckily there was one more seat left to sit.
106
The train was really full, but luckily there was one more seat left to sit.
107
I had brought my headphones in my bag so I could listen to my audiobook on the way.
108
Thank you.
109
Again, I had brought my headphones in my bag so I could listen to my audiobook on the way.
110
Okay, so here we have when the N sound, "nnnn" is followed by the M sound, mm, okay?
111
Like in the instance of one, more.
112
And what ends up happening is we drop the N sound and it just sounds like we have the M sound.
113
So not one more, but one more.
114
One more.
115
there was one more seat left.
116
This also happens when we have in and my next to each other.
117
So we have "Am I?" Am I?
118
in my bag.
119
All right, shadow me, here we go.
120
Thank you.
121
The train was really full.
122
But luckily, there was one more seat left to sit.
123
I had brought my headphones in my bag.
124
so I could listen to my audiobook on the way.
125
Then my phone rang and it was my mom calling just to say good morning.
126
Then my phone rang and it was my mom calling just to say good morning.
127
She's such a good mom like that always checking in.
128
She's such a good mom like that.
129
always checking in.
130
Okay, so when we have a word ending in a D and followed by a word beginning with an M,
131
we often change the D to almost sound like a bee sound.
132
And it's less about making a "b" sound and more about the position of your mouth, specifically your lips.
133
So instead of good morning, duh, and "mm" are too far apart.
134
They're too different.
135
But if you look at Bye. And...
136
Hmm.
137
Those sounds are very similar.
138
My lips are formed in the same way.
139
So in rapid natural speech, We don't say good morning.
140
But we end up saying, good morning.
141
Good morning. And...
142
"Good mom." Good mom.
143
She's such a good mom.
144
We also have the phrase to check in.
145
To check in with someone means to ask how they're doing.
146
to make sure they're okay.
147
Okay, shadow me, here we go.
148
Yeah.
149
Then my phone rang and it was my mom calling just to say good morning.
150
She's such a good mom like that.
151
Always checking in.
152
I got carried away chatting with my mom, and I suddenly realized I had missed my stop.
153
I got carried away chatting with my mom and I suddenly realized I had missed my stop.
154
I told my mom I had to go and decided to get off at the next one.
155
I told my mom I had to go and decided to get off at the next one.
156
Thank you.
157
At least I had my latte and podcast to pass the time "waiting for another train."
158
At least I had my latte and podcast to pass the time waiting for another train.
159
Okay, so the rule generally here is that if you have a D or a T,
160
In between two consonant sounds, we often drop the D or T sound completely.
161
So, for example, we have the word 'missed' followed by my.
162
So that is actually three consonant sounds in a row.
163
We have sss,
164
/d / and "mm." So that means we can drop the "d" sound and it ends up sounding like "mismai." Miss Mai.
165
I had missed my stop.
166
Often when we have three consonant sounds in a row in English, we're going to be dropping that middle one because it's just too much effort to make all three sounds.
167
Same with Next.
168
One.
169
becomes Next one.
170
Next one.
171
we drop the T sound and we only have the /ks / and /w / consonant sounds.
172
Okay, so a couple phrases to point out in this section.
173
We have the phrase to get carried away.
174
And if you get carried away doing something, it means that you become so excited or engrossed in what you're doing,
175
you lose control of what you're doing, or maybe you take something too far,
176
or you simply end up doing something that you weren't planning on.
177
And then we have the phrase "to pass the time." To pass the time means to spend your time doing something,
178
or it usually implies there's not much to do.
179
So to pass the time is to find something to do that kind of uses up the time.
180
So in this example, I have to wait for another train.
181
So what can I do to pass the time since I just have to wait I have my podcast.
182
And I can drink my latte.
183
Okay, shadow me in this final section.
184
I got carried away chatting with my mom.
185
and I suddenly realized I had missed my stop.
186
I told my mom I had to go and decided to get off at the next one.
187
At least I had my latte and podcast to pass the time "waiting for another train." Okay guys,
188
so hopefully this practice on assimilation was useful to you.
189
Again, you guys can not only take those pronunciation tips or that practice in connected speech.
190
But you can also use this story in general to build your overall vocabulary.
191
So as always, we're going to close out this practice by shadowing the entire story together.
192
So I'm not going to stop.
193
I'm going to read through the entire thing.
194
You can always listen first and then shadow me.
195
You can repeat this part of the video as many times as you want.
196
You can always pause the video.
197
You can speed up the video.
198
You can slow it down.
199
So there are so many ways that you can use this. to practice.
200
Okay, here we go.
201
Thank you.
202
I was waiting in line at the train station cafe, looking at the departure screen, which was riddled with delays.
203
I thought, Can't you just be on time for once?
204
Don't you hate it when public transport is delayed?
205
After ordering at the cafe, my number was finally called.
206
And the server asked: Did you order the large iced latte?
207
I nodded and realized my train was arriving.
208
She added, "Would you like the receipt?" But I was in a rush, so I shook my head and took off.
209
The train was really full.
210
but luckily there was one more seat left to sit.
211
I had brought my headphones in my bag so I could listen to my audiobook on the way.
212
Then my phone rang and it was my mom calling just to say good morning.
213
She's such a good mom like that.
214
Always checking in.
215
I got carried away chatting with my mom.
216
and I suddenly realized I had missed my stop.
217
I told my mom I had to go.
218
and decided to get off at the next one.
219

Bu Ders Hakkında
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.
