Hey this is Emma from mmmEnglish!
2
I'm super excited that you're here and that you're spending some time with me today to improve your English.
3
In this lesson we're going to be doing some more speaking skills practice and in particular, we're going to be practising with the mmmEnglish Imitation Technique which is one of the most effective ways to reduce your accent and to fix your pronunciation problems so that you speak more clearly and confidently in English.
4
And it's effective because it teaches you to listen to the sounds and the patterns of English and trains you to produce those same sounds yourself through repetition and controlled practise.
5
You're training your mouth with your ears by listening to the sounds and imitating them rather than training your mouth with your eyes by reading and guessing the pronunciation and the rhythm of words on a page.
6
Now if you haven't done a lesson like this before, don't worry, it's really simple and I'm going to explain each step for you so that you know exactly what you need to do.
7
You just need to get ready to speak out loud with me.
8
If you're new to my channel or new to the Imitation Technique, I've got some courses available via the mmmEnglish website to help you practise this way and you can find out more about them up here or I've added the link in the description below.
9
To practise with the Imitation Technique, there's just three simple steps that you need to follow.
10
The first one is, well you just need to listen to what I say and read the words on the screen as I say them.
11
Next, you'll be listening to what I say but then there'll be a pause so that you can repeat what I said.
12
You need to copy me exactly as you hear me.
13
This step, you can do again and again and again until you sound or you think you sound exactly as I do.
14
And it's okay to practise many times before you move on to the third step.
15
You can even slow down the speed so that you can practise a little more slowly before stepping up to regular pace because step three is a challenge, even for a native English speaker.
16
You're going to be listening to me and saying what I'm saying at the same time and that's pretty much like practising along to your favourite song, right? You can't really do it straightaway but with a little bit of practice it gets easier and you'll start having fun.
17
Now although this step is also the trickiest one, it's the best way to fine-tune your natural speaking skills.
18
You'll get to hear what I'm saying and what you're saying at the same time so that you can adjust the sounds and the rhythms so that you can match me.
19
You are going to make a lot of mistakes but who cares?
20
We're going to have fun!
21
Today we're going to practise talking about a past trip.
22
Now I'm going to be sharing a story with you about my recent trip to Portugal.
23
Talking about travel is a really great way to start a conversation because there is lots of opportunity to ask questions and to share your own travel experiences with someone.
24
Keep in mind that you can easily exchange my story with your own story about traveling as well especially once you've been practising with me for a little while.
25
All right? Let's get started.
26
Step one: listen and read.
27
I've just come back from a trip to Portugal!
28
Lisbon, actually.
29
Was a bit of a last-minute decision.
30
My friend was attending a conference there and she convinced me to tag along!
31
I don't usually make spontaneous decisions like that but it all just happened at the right time.
32
I actually didn't know that much about Lisbon before I went.
33
Have you been?
34
I had no idea what an incredible city it is.
35
And oh my god, the food!
36
I ate so many pastéis de nata, I thought I was going to burst!
37
The city is full of beautiful cobblestone streets.
38
I spent so much time just wandering around in the sunshine, you know?
39
Winding my way through historic neighbourhoods.
40
Actually one of the coolest things we did was jump in a tuk-tuk with a guide.
41
We went up this steep hill and had an amazing view over the city.
42
You know what a tuk-tuk is, right?
43
It's like a little motorbike with a cabin on the back where you can sit.
44
It was a really fun way to get around.
45
And easier than walking because oh my god, it was so hot!
46
And our guide, her name was Paula, she grew up in Lisbon and she was just a wealth of knowledge.
47
She was full of stories about her childhood and about the history of the city.
48
She took us to cool little back streets and, you know, we explored some amazing street art.
49
There's just no way that we would have found all of those hidden gems ourselves.
50
I really wish we could have stayed longer!
51
I definitely want to go back there one day!
52
What about you, have you got any travel plans coming up?
53
Now you need to imitate exactly what I say and that means you're trying to copy my pronunciation and my word stress and even the pause in my sentence.
54
You could even try and copy my facial expressions to practise communicating with more than just words.
55
There's going to be a pause after each sentence so that you can practise out loud with me okay?
56
Or after me.
57
So just relax and go with the flow.
58
It's just you and me here right now, okay?
59
So let's just have some fun.
60
Step two: listen and imitate.
61
I've just come back from a trip to Portugal!
62
Lisbon, actually!
63
Was a bit of a last-minute decision.
64
My friend was attending a conference there and she convinced me to tag along!
65
I don't usually make spontaneous decisions like that but it all just happened at the right time.
66
I actually didn't know that much about Libson before I went.
67
Have you been?
68
I had no idea what an incredible city it is!
69
And oh my god, the food!
70
I ate so many pastéis de nata, I thought I was going to burst!
71
The city is full of beautiful cobblestone streets, I spent so much time just wandering around in the sunshine, you know?
72

79

80

81
There's just no way that we would have found all of those hidden gems ourselves.
82
I really wish we could have stayed longer!
83
Definitely want to go back there one day.
84
What about you, have you got any travel plans coming up?
85
Now we're moving on to step three which is a little more challenging.
86
Don't forget that you can pause here right now, go back and practise section two as many times as you need to before we keep going.
87
This is going to take a little bit of practice but right now you need to shadow me and that means listening and speaking at the same time.
88
Try to copy the rhythm and the tone that I use even if it means you get a little tongue-tied at first.
89
It doesn't matter.
90
Step three: shadow.
91
I've just come back from a trip to Portugal!
92
Lisbon, actually!
93
Was a bit of a last-minute decision.
94
My friend was attending a conference there and she convinced me to tag along.
95
I don't usually make spontaneous decisions like that but it all just happened at the right time.
96

97

98

115

116
Wow! Congratulations for making it through!
117
What a mouthful that was!
118

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
使用這個影片進行口語練習，是提高英語發音的一個絕佳方法。通過模仿技術（shadow speech），你能更好地掌握英語的發音和語調。影片中的內容圍繞旅行的開放性話題，不僅有趣，還有助於你在日常交流中自信地分享自己的經歷。通過跟隨講者的節奏，你可以建立一種沉浸式的學習環境，增強自己的聽說能力。這種方法特別適合那些希望通過自然模仿來提高口語的人，適合所有學習階段的英語學習者。
語法與表達在語境中的應用
- 過去完成時：在講述旅行經歷時，講者使用了過去時態的表達，如“我剛從葡萄牙回來”。這使得時間線清晰，有助於聽眾理解事件順序。
- 常見動詞短語：短語“我決定去”傳達了行動的自發性，適合描述意外的旅行或決定。
- 形容詞的使用：如“不可思議的城市”和“美麗的鵝卵石街道”，增強了描述的生動性，使交流更加引人入勝。
常見發音陷阱
在影片中，有幾個單詞的發音可能會讓學習者感到困惑。例如，“Lisbon”（里斯本）和“tuk-tuk”（突突車），這兩個詞在英語中有其獨特的發音特點，容易混淆。其次，講者在提到“pastéis de nata”時，受葡萄牙語影響的發音可能讓初學者較難教授。在練習時，利用shadow speak（影子講話）技巧，可以提高這些困難詞彙的發音準確性，幫助你在找尋正確的語言節奏時，不再因為口音而感到擔憂。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作 | you've been practising · have been requesting |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | haven't done · I've added · I've just come |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | Technique which is · three which is |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the most effective · the trickiest · the coolest |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
