Hey guys and welcome back to another Shadowing Practice or welcome if you're new here to my channel.

My name is Claire and I am a native speaker from the United States and I'm an online English teacher.

If you want to work on your pronunciation or accent in American English,

I also specialize in the International Phonetic Alphabet as a trained opera singer.

So I have studied multiple languages and specifically the pronunciation of different sounds

and how to achieve an authentic sound in different languages.

So I can help you do the same with a standard American English accent.

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.

And so usually the tips I point out in these types of videos has to do with connected speech.

And that is the natural way that native speakers end up speaking in English.

And in particular, I'm going to talk about one speech, which we call assimilation.

Assimilation is when One sound changes because of a neighboring sound.

So if we have a combination of certain sounds in English, assimilation sometimes will happen.

So one sound will completely change.

As I said, this is a form of connected speech

and there are a couple different instances of assimilation that we can look at.

So in our shadowing practice today,

I will point out these different types English speaking to sound more natural, more fluent.

OK.

Let's go.

English made easy with Claire.

All right, so as always, first listen and then repeat after me and then we will shadow later.

So I was waiting in line at the train station cafe, looking at the departure screen.

Your turn.

I was waiting in line at the train station cafe, looking at the departure screen,

which was riddled with delays.

I thought Can't you just be on time for once?

Thank you.

I thought, Can't you just be on time for once?

Thank you.

Don't you hate it when public transport is delayed?

Thank you.

Don't you hate it when public transport is delayed?

Okay, so in this first section of our story, we have the first instance of assimilation,

when a T sound is followed by a /j /.

Sound which is very often represented by the letter Y in English.

And when we have these two sounds next to each other, it creates a new sound completely,

which is often represented by CH in English.

So the "ch" sound.

Okay, so we don't have can't you.

But can't you?

Can't you?

Can't you just be on time for once?

And we also see it with don't plus you.

It's not don't you, but don't you?

Don't you hate it?

Don't you?

Okay, so this isn't slang or lazy speaking.

It is actually just a natural way of speaking.

So it is perfectly normal in any situation to use this kind of pronunciation when speaking.

So now let's shadow this first paragraph.

So you're going to say it at the same time as me matching my speech.

Ready?

I was waiting in line at the train station cafe, Looking at the departure screen, which was riddled with delays.

I thought, "Can't you just be on time for once?" Don't you hate it when public transport is delayed?

As we go through this practice, you can also build your vocabulary through these stories.

So another great benefit of shadowing practice is not only getting to...

Speak naturally, but I also try and use idioms or common phrases

or phrasal verbs in these stories so that you guys can see them

and how they're used in context and build your vocabulary with anything that's new to you.

So for example, we have that the departure screen was riddled with delays.

And if something is riddled with something, it means that there are delays all over the screen.

So if something is covered in something, or there is just a lot of something,

on something you could say it's riddled with that thing.

I'll be sure to point out any other vocabulary like this as we go on.

Before we do move on, if you're enjoying this practice so far, do give this video a like,

Okay, repeat after me.

After ordering at the cafe, my number was finally called.

And again, after ordering at the cafe, my number was finally called.

And the server asked, "Did you order the large iced latte?" And the server asked,

"Did you order the large iced latte?" I nodded and realized my train was arriving.

I nodded and realized my train was arriving.

She added, "Would you like a receipt?" She added,

"Would you like a receipt?" Thank you.

but I was in a rush.

So I shook my head and took off.

but I was in a rush.

So I shook my head.

and took off.

Okay, here we have when a word ends with a D, so the D sound, and is followed by this Y.

sound.

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.

sounding like J So not did you, but Did you? Did you?

"Did you order the large iced latte?" And we also have "would" and "you" next to each other.

So it sounds like Would you? Would you?

Would you like a receipt?

All right.

And before we shadow this section, I want to point out the vocabulary I nodded.

And that means to move your head up and down to indicate Yes.

And we also have I shook my head which means to move your head from side to side, which indicates

No. And we also have the phrasal verb:

to take off in the context of I took off and

that means I left usually implying

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

At least I had my latte and podcasts to pass the time "waiting for another train." Alright guys,

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。
