If you want to sound more natural when you speak English, you've probably been told to try shadowing.
如果你想讓自己說英語時聽起來更自然，很可能有人告訴過你要嘗試影子跟讀法。
2
You listen to a native speaker, you copy what they say, and the more you do it, the more natural you sound.
你聽母語者說話，然後模仿他們的發音，練得越多，你的發音就越地道。
3
But if all you do is copy the speaker,
但如果你所做的只是模仿說話者，
4
you could spend months shadowing and still sound a little bit stiff and robotic when it's your turn to speak by yourself.
就算你花好幾個月練習影子跟讀法，輪到自己開口說話時，聽起來還是會有點生硬、像機器人一樣。
5
So today I'm going to show you my four -step routine to help you make faster progress
今天我要給大家分享我的四步日常方法，幫大家取得更快的進步。
6
and speak English much more smoothly and naturally, including one final step that most learners miss.
7
Okay, let's begin.
8
The first step is humming.
9
First, you need a short piece of audio.
10
Today, we're going to use this sentence from day one of my seven -day speaking challenge.
11
If you'd like to try the challenge yourself, the link is in the description.
12
Here's the sentence.
13
it gets any worse.
14
Okay so your first job is to listen to each short part, pause the recording and then hum what you hear.
15
So you're not supposed to be saying the words yet,
16
you're just supposed to be copying the tune of English and you can just hum like this.
17
Let's try it together.
18
Listen to each short part then copy the sound without saying the words.
19
If I were you, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
20
If I were you, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
21
So what you're listening for here is the melody of the sentence.
22
Which parts are quicker or slower?
23
Which parts are louder?
24
Or where does my voice rise or fall?
25
By leaving out the words, you can give your full attention to the sounds.
26
You don't have to think about how to pronounce certain words
27
and you don't have to remember all the words in the sentence at the same time.
28
This exercise is quite useful because sometimes learners give every word the same amount of stress.
29
If I were you I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
30
It could be quite an unnatural thing for you to try
31
because I don't think every language has intonation and tone changes exactly like English.
32
So I definitely think it's a useful exercise to try.
33
Okay let's try the whole sentence now.
34
We're going to listen to it first and then I want you to hum it yourself.
35
If I were you, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
36
Okay, now your turn.
37
If it helps, you can even close your eyes whilst you're listening and humming.
38
It could even be helpful to try doing this without reading the sentence.
39
That way you're just totally focused on the sound.
40
Okay, once you start getting used to that rhythm, we're going to start bringing the words in and you're going to try
41
and keep the music of the sentence like we just practiced.
42
Okay, step two is imitating.
43
This time you're going to listen, pause and repeat the actual words.
44
I want you to try and copy the way I say them as closely as you can.
45
You're still paying attention to the rhythm, the stress and the intonation, but now we're just going to add the words back into the sentence.
46
So for this first attempt, just focus on what you can hear.
47
You don't really need to be worrying about the meaning of the sentence at this point.
48
Let's use the same three parts.
49
I'll say each one, leave a space for you, and then I'll say it again so you can compare.
50
Ready?
51
Three, two, one.
52
If I were you, if I were you,
53
I'd apologize to him, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
54
Before it gets any worse.
55
Notice how the words run together.
56
I didn't say I'd apologize to him.
57
I'm saying I'd apologize to him.
58
I'd apologize to him.
59
Try to copy that whole group of sounds, including the quieter words between the stressed parts.
60
Now let's try putting that sentence together.
61
If I were you, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
62
Okay, your turn.
63
If I were you, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
64
So we started by humming the sentence and now we've brought back in the words whilst trying to keep the same rhythm.
65
Okay, so now before we move on, make sure you understand what the sentence means.
66
The meaning matters because it can affect which words you stress and how you say them.
67
In this imaginary example, maybe your friend has upset someone and you think they should say sorry soon.
68
If I were you, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
69
So when you're practicing with the other recordings, make sure you can understand the meaning before you go to the next step.
70
Step three is shadowing.
71
So now we're finally ready to shadow.
72
The main difference between shadowing and imitating is when you speak.
73
When you imitate, you listen.
74
then you stop the recording and then you repeat.
75
When you shadow, the recording keeps playing and you're speaking along with it.
76
You'll usually be just a little bit behind the speaker so you can hear the sounds and follow along with them.
77
Okay, so now we're putting together what we've learned in step one and step two, but we're following along with the speaker's timing.
78
So let me show you.
79
Ready?
80
Three, two, one.
81
If I were you, I'd apologise to him before it gets any worse.
82
You can hear that I'm speaking while the recording is still playing, so I'm not waiting for it to finish first.
83
Now you try.
84
I want you to follow my voice through the sentence without pausing for any parts.
85
Ready?
86
Three, two, one.
87
If I were you, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
88
Okay, let's try that one more time.
89
If I were you, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
90
Okay, good job.
91
Try to follow the rhythm as well as the words and if you lose your place and it's too fast,
92
just listen again and have another go.
93
If one part is giving you trouble, maybe just pause it, imitate it a few times and then try again to shadow the whole complete sentence.
94
One thing is that you should always try to shadow sentences at natural speed without slowing them down
95
because this is how sentences are formed by native speakers and you need to practice forming these sounds at this natural speed.
96
Okay, step four, the final step is retrieval.
97
Now we're going to stop using the audio and we're going to see if you can use the sentence yourself.
98
So you've practiced copying it, but this time we're going to change a few words in the sentence so that it means something personal to you.
99
Let's look at the original sentence again.
100
If I were you, I'd apologize to him before it gets any worse.
101
So let's keep the beginning.
102
If I were you, I'd.
103
But think of someone you know
104
and try to think of some advice you could give them that would change the meaning of this sentence.
105
For example, maybe someone in your family has a problem with their car.
106
You could change the sentence to, if I were you, I'd get the car checked before it breaks down.
107
The structure of the sentence stays the same, but because you're changing the meaning to something personal to you, it makes it much easier to remember.
108
Okay, so now it's your turn.
109
So try to think of your own situation and what you could change the sentence to.
110
Maybe try and think of who you're speaking to, what's the situation and what you would do if you were them.
111
Okay, so now pause the video and say your sentence out loud starting with, if I were you, I'd...
112
Okay, if you did it, good job
113
and you can put your sentence in the comments below because I want to see how creative everybody was.
114
Okay, one more tip is that you should record yourself whenever you can
115
because it's quite hard to actually hear how you sound whilst you're speaking.
116
But if you do record yourself and then listen to it back,
117
you can hear where you sound different and what you might need to work on next.
118
And you can do this very easily with the recordings in my seven day speaking challenge, which is where today's example came from.
119
Day one from the seven day challenge has over 200 short example sentences like the one we used in today's lesson.
120
Every exercise on every day of the challenge has recordings of my British voice
121
and a space for you to upload your own recording where you can compare the two directly.
122
The other six days give you different speaking exercises to help you build your confidence and your fluency.
123
There's also a progress tracker that fills up as you complete the week.
124
It's aimed at B1 and B2 intermediate learners but even
125
if you're C1 or C2 you're going to learn something new and improve your speaking.
126
And I've had lots of lovely reviews from all the people who've already tried my seven day speaking challenge.
127
So thank you so much for supporting me and if you'd like to join them the link is in the description.
128
Okay and you'll also find the free pdf for today's lesson down below as well.
129

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 |
|---|---|
| 條件句 if + 從句，will/would + 動詞 — 條件及其結果 | If I were you, I'd apologize · If I were you I'd apologize · If I were you, I'd apologise |
| 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 | you've probably been told · we've brought · we've learned |

需要注意的發音
說話人用了 67 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 I'd, you're, we're。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “th” 音: rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, smoothly /ˈsmuːðli/
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: apologize /əˈpɑləˌd͡ʒaɪz/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, intermediate /ɪn.tə(ɹ)ˈmi.di.ət/, imaginary /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪˌn(ɛ)ɹi/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音：
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: apologize /əˈpɑləˌd͡ʒaɪz/, pause /pɔːz/, whilst /waɪlst/, distress /dɪˈstɹɛs/, technique /tɛkˈniːk/
- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, learner /ˈlɜɹnəɹ/, retrieval /ɹɪˈtɹiːvəl/
- /æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, imaginary /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪˌn(ɛ)ɹi/, tracker /ˈtɹækə(ɹ)/
如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。

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。
