Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Enjoy English Talks, where every conversation helps you learn.

I'm Judy.

Hello, Judy.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Jake.

How are you today, Judy?

I am wonderful today.

Thank you.

I read a very nice message this morning.

And you, Jake?

I am good, thank you.

A nice message.

Tell me about it.

A listener wrote to us.

They said, I listen to enjoy English talks every day, and my English is getting better.

Wow, that makes me so happy.

I love our listeners.

Me too, but then they asked a very good question.

A question?

What did they ask?

They asked, what is the best way to learn English with your podcast?

That is a great question, because I also want to know.

I am in this podcast but i still want to learn more

and many of our listeners have the same question so today

that is our topic we are going to teach people how

to learn english with a podcast yes today i have five

easy steps five steps to learn english with a podcast and you can start today

five steps i love steps easy to follow let's go but first we have a small request Yes.

If you like our podcast, please click the like button.

Please subscribe to enjoy English talks.

And share this episode with your friends and family.

Thank you.

It helps us so much.

We love our listeners.

Okay.

Now let's start.

First, let me tell you the problem.

The big problem.

The problem?

What is the problem?

Many people listen to English podcasts.

They press play, they listen, but then they hear a word they do not know.

And they stop.

Yes, they stop.

They open a dictionary, they look for the word, and then they forget where they were in the episode.

That happens to me too.

I stop every two minutes.

And some people listen one time.

They do not understand everything, and they think, this is too hard.

I cannot do it.

I know that feeling.

You listen, you do not understand, and you feel bad.

But here's the thing.

That is the wrong way to use a podcast.

Today, I am going to show you the right way.

Five steps.

Very easy.

The right way.

I'm ready.

Tell me step one.

Step number one.

Just listen.

Just listen?

That is the step?

Just listen?

Yes the first time you listen to a podcast episode do

not stop do not pause do not open a dictionary just listen but what

if I do not understand a word that's okay keep listening

do not stop try to understand the general idea the big

picture the big picture yes the big picture means the main

topic what are they talking about are they happy are they

sad what is the subject you do not need every word you need the general idea so

if I listen to a podcast about food I just need

to know oh they're talking about food exactly you do not

need to understand every sentence just the topic the feeling the big idea

that feels much easier I always try to understand everything and then I get frustrated.

Frustrated means upset, angry at yourself, and that's very normal.

But step one says relax, just listen, enjoy the sound of English.

Enjoy the sound.

I like that.

Think of it like music.

The first time you hear a new song, do you understand every word?

No, I just enjoy the music i enjoy the sound english

is the same first enjoy the sound the words will come later

so step one is just listen do not stop understand the

big picture perfect you got it step number two read

and listen read

and listen at the same time yes the second time you listen play the same episode again

but this time turn on the subtitles subtitles like words on

the screen yes subtitles are the words you see at the

bottom of the video s u b t l e t s you hear the words

and you see the words at the same time oh

so I can read what they're saying while I listen exactly

and this is very powerful because sometimes you hear a word but you do not know how to spell it,

or you hear two words together and they sound like one word.

That happens to me.

I hear wanna, but the subtitle says want to.

Yes, want to becomes wanna when people speak fast.

Subtitles help you see the real words.

100

And if I see a new word, I can write it down.

101

Yes, you can write it in a notebook or you can write it on your phone.

102

When you see a new word, write it down.

103

That is how you grow your vocabulary vocabulary.

104

Vocabulary means all the words you know.

105

So step two is listen again with subtitles and write down new words.

106

That is right.

107

The first time, you listen for the big picture.

108

The second time, you listen for the details, the small things.

109

Big picture first, detail second.

110

That makes sense.

111

And here is something important.

112

On our podcast, Enjoy English Talks, we always explain new words so

113

when you hear a new word wait a moment I will explain it for you

114

that is true Judy explains everything I never need a dictionary

115

when I listen to our podcast that is why podcasts for learners are

116

so good we speak slowly we use simple words

117

and we explain everything step 2 listen

118

and write you subtitles write down new words i can do

119

that step number three repeat after us repeat after you you

120

mean say the same words yes this is called shadowing s

121

h a d o w i n g shadowing means you

122

listen to a sentence then you say the same sentence you

123

copy the speaker i copy you like a shadow exactly like a shadow.

124

A shadow follows you everywhere.

125

It copies your shape.

126

When you do shadowing, your voice follows my voice.

127

You copy my words, my speed, and my rhythm.

128

Rhythm.

129

Rhythm means the music of the sentence.

130

R -H -Y -T -H -M.

131

Some words are long.

132

Some words are short.

133

Some words are loud.

134

Some words are quiet.

135

That pattern is the rhythm.

136

So, I should not just say the words.

137

I should say them the same way you say them.

138

Yes.

139

The same speed, the same feeling.

140

Let me show you.

141

Listen to me.

142

I am happy to be here today.

143

I am happy to be here today.

144

Good.

145

But try to copy my rhythm.

146

Listen again.

147

I am happy to be here today.

148

I am happy to be here today much better did you hear the difference happy

149

and here are a little louder a little stronger yes I can feel it it feels more natural

150

when I copy your rhythm

151

that is the magic of shadowing your mouth learns how to

152

make English sounds your brain learns the rhythm of English but

153

when do I pause do I pause the video great question yes you can pause the video after one

154

or two sentences then repeat then press play again listen to

155

the next sentence pause repeat listen pause repeat listen pause repeat yes

156

and don't worry

157

if you sound funny at first everyone sounds funny at first

158

that's normal i always sound funny you sound wonderful jake

159

and the more you practice the more natural you'll sound step

160

three repeat after us shadowing copy the words the speed

161

and the rhythm you got it step number four make your

162

own sentences make my own sentences with what with the new

163

words from the podcast in step two you wrote down new

164

words now use those words make your own sentences oh so

165

if I learned the word frustrated today yes make a sentence with frustrated um i feel frustrated

166

when i cannot find my keys that is a perfect sentence

167

and now frustrated is your word not my word not the podcast's word your word

168

because you used it in your own life my word i like that idea

169

when i use a word in my own sentence i remember it better exactly that's how your brain works

170

When you just hear a word, you might forget it.

171

When you read a word, you might forget it.

172

But when you use a word in a sentence, you remember it.

173

Hear it, read it, use it.

174

Three steps for one word.

175

That is beautiful, Jake.

176

You just explained it perfectly.

177

And here's another tip.

178

You can write your sentence in the comments below our video.

179

In the comments?

180

Yes.

181

When you write a comment in English, you practice writing and other learners can see your sentence.

182

Maybe they learn from you too.

183

I can help other people.

184

That's cool.

185

You can.

186

And writing is also practicing.

187

Every sentence you write makes your English a little stronger.

188

Step four.

189

Make your own sentences.

190

Use new words in my own life and share them in the comments.

191

Perfect.

192

Step number five.

193

Build a habit.

194

Build a habit.

195

What is a habit?

196

A habit is something you do every day without thinking.

197

H -A -B -I -T.

198

You brush your teeth every day.

199

That's a habit.

200

You drink water every day.

201

That's a habit.

202

So, listening to a podcast should become a habit.

203

Yes.

204

The best way to learn English is to practice every day, not one hour on Saturday.

205

Fifteen minutes every day.

206

Fifteen minutes?

207

That is not a lot.

208

It is not a lot, but it is enough.

209

Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours once a week.

210

Really?

211

Fifteen minutes is better than two hours yes

212

because your brain likes small regular practice every day your brain gets a little bit of english

213

and it remembers but if you wait one week your brain forgets

214

that explains a lot i used to study for three hours on sunday

215

and then nothing until next sunday

216

and by next sunday you forgot almost everything almost everything yes

217

that is exactly what happened

218

so here is my advice pick a time every day at

219

the same time maybe in the morning maybe after lunch maybe before bed

220

and listen to one episode of our podcast you do not

221

need to finish a whole episode in one day you can listen to 10 minutes

222

or 15 minutes the important thing is do it every day every day same time even just 15 minutes

223

and here is the beautiful thing you can listen

224

while you do other things other things like what you can listen

225

while you walk while you cook dinner while you clean your house

226

while you drive to work I can learn English

227

while I wash the dishes yes many of our listeners do this they put on their headphones they press play

228

and they listen to enjoy English talks while they do their daily activities.

229

That is so smart.

230

I do not need extra time.

231

I just add English to my normal day.

232

Exactly.

233

You do not need to sit at a desk.

234

You do not need a textbook.

235

Just press play and let English become part of your daily life.

236

Step 5.

237

Build a habit.

238

Listen every day, even 15 minutes.

239

And remember, do not be hard on yourself.

240

If you miss one day, that's okay just come back the next day come back the next day I can do

241

that now let me put all five steps together this is

242

your learning plan a complete plan I love plans day one

243

you find an episode maybe this one you press play you

244

listen one time just listen that's step one just listen get the big picture.

245

Day two, you listen to the same episode again.

246

This time, you turn on subtitles.

247

You read and listen.

248

You write down new words.

249

That's step two.

250

Read and listen.

251

Write down new words.

252

Day three, you listen again, but this time you pause after each sentence and you repeat.

253

You copy the speaker.

254

That's step three, shadowing.

255

Listen, pause, repeat.

256

Shadowing.

257

Day four, you take your new words and you make your own sentences.

258

You write them down or you share them in the comments.

259

That's step four.

260

Make my own sentences.

261

Use the words in my life.

262

And every day you do this.

263

You build a habit.

264

That's step five.

265

So I can use one episode for three or four days?

266

Yes.

267

One episode has so much to learn.

268

You do not need a new episode every day.

269

Use one episode for three or four days listen read repeat practice i never thought about

270

that i always listened one time

271

and then moved to the next episode many people do that

272

but the secret is go deeper not faster one episode many

273

times that's how you really learn go deeper not faster that's a great tip

274

and after three or four days you move to a new episode

275

and you start the five steps again five steps same steps new episode over

276

and over over and over

277

and every week your english gets a little better a little

278

stronger a little more natural i'm excited to try this starting today.

279

Starting today.

280

That's the spirit, Jake.

281

Okay, let's review.

282

Yes, let's see what we learned.

283

284

Five easy steps.

285

290

Shadowing.

291

Copy the words in rhythm.

292

Then, make your own sentences.

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.
