Shadowing Practice: Will Smith | How To Achieve Success - Learn English Speaking with Video

Following your dreams is a lonely, solitary, scary, dangerous pursuit.

You can't wait for somebody to think you can do it.

And it's like they they because they don't think you can do nothing they can't do.

Exactly.

You know what I mean?

It's like it is a lonely, scary, dangerous pursuit.

And you got to be willing to risk everything to become that seed of what you believe is in there.

You got to be fearless.

You got to be relentless everybody has dreams and and

and as much as you you want to be able to listen a little bit

because somebody's going to give you a gem but nobody knows

but you you can't get advice on what you should do

with your life right nobody knows what you are like even

even sometimes you don't really even know what you what you are you got to take your shot

and it's like as much as you want people to agree

and you want the people around you to be supporting your dreams

and all it's not gonna be like

that all the time you got to do it alone

and people will help you and once you

when you get the ball rolling people will jump on but

if you don't believe nobody else is gonna believe people come along

because your belief is so insane that your belief is

so strong that makes people be like yo it's crazy grow

or die was the basic central premise that we were working with

that if you're not if you don't grow you will perish there's there's one relationship

that you have to maintain and that's the one with you right

and it's like if if you're not loving you

if you're not taking care of you everything

and everybody is second to you taking care of you first

and foremost when you are steady

and calm in yourself it makes it easier to manage the insanity

that other people are going to bring to you the core

of how things are created in the universe is through collision you know

so you got to be prepared to collide

if you want to create something only sustainable mission throughout your whole existence is to improve lives

and as soon as i made the shift in my mind from trying to be big

and trying to have money and trying to be popular to making sure

that i improved lives every step of the way on this earth then all of a sudden i started experiencing healing

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.
