Hey there!

English teacher Claire here with another Shadowing Practice.

If you like these practices, I have an entire playlist of these.

Let me know in the comments how it goes for you and what you'd like to see in an upcoming practice.

For today's practice, I'm going to read a pretty natural conversation between two people about deciding what to eat

and going to a restaurant and ordering.

So not only will this help you with your pronunciation of English, but it's also going give you some really practical useful phrases that you can use while speaking.

So first you're going to repeat after me.

Hey, I'm getting kind of hungry.

Your turn.

Let's repeat again.

Hey, I'm getting kind hungry.

Do you want to grab something to eat?

Your turn.

Do you want to grab something to eat?

What are you in the mood for?

I'm not too picky, but I could really go for something filling.

Maybe pasta or some kind of comfort food.

That sounds good, but I'm also trying to eat a little healthier lately.

Yeah, same here.

Maybe we can find a place that has both something healthy and satisfying.

Yeah, same here.

Maybe we can find a place that has both something healthy and satisfying.

Okay, now I'm going to point out some pronunciation tips for you in this section

and some useful phrases that you may or may not already know and then we're going to shadow it all together.

So in our first phrase, we can really link getting kind of hungry, getting kind of hungry.

The double T in getting becomes a flap T, so it ends up sounding like a d sound,

getting, and kind of in rapid speech becomes kinda, kinda, getting kinda hungry.

Same with want to becomes wanna.

Wanna.

Do you want to grab something to eat?

What are you in the mood for?

Is a great expression when asking what someone would like to eat.

What do they feel hungry for?

We could ask, what are you in the mood for?

And I'm not too picky means you don't really mind you

would eat many different things you're not very particular about food I'm not too picky

but I could really go for is a really useful expression

to know it has a similar meaning to you know I would eat something filling I would prefer

or you know I would really like

that you know I could really go for some pizza right now

so you can use this expression to talk about anything really that you want to do.

We can also link the words trying to to be tryna.

I'm also trying to eat a little healthier lately.

Okay, let's shadow this section.

So you're going to say it at the same time as me matching my rhythm and intonation and pronunciation, all of that.

Here we go.

Hey, I'm getting kind of hungry.

Do you want to grab something to eat?

What are you in the mood for?

I'm not too picky, but I could really go for something filling.

Maybe pasta or some kind of comfort food.

That sounds good, but I'm also trying to eat a little healthier lately?

Yeah, same here.

Maybe we can find a place that has both, something healthy and satisfying.

All right, now we're at the restaurant.

Repeat after me.

Hi, do you have a table for two?

If it's possible, could we sit by the window?

Thanks.

Could we take a minute to look at the menu?

Thanks.

Could we take a minute to look at the menu?

Wow, everything looks so good.

I'm having a hard time deciding.

What are you thinking of getting?

I might go for the grilled chicken salad.

I think I'll get the pasta.

It's highly recommended.

I think I'll get the pasta.

It's highly recommended.

So you'll notice when I have the word for in rapid speech, in the American English accent, we tend to pronounce this fur.

So do you have a table for two?

It's unstressed in the sentence, so it becomes this kind of er vowel sound.

We hear that again in the phrase, I might go for the grilled chicken salad.

And to say I might go for something means that I might choose that.

So that's another good phrase when talking about what you want to order at a restaurant, I might go for that.

I might go for the grilled chicken salad.

Pronunciation tip in the phrase, everything looks so good.

We can connect the sss sounds into one sound.

So don't separate them.

Looks so, but look so.

Looks so good.

Another good expression here is I'm having a hard time

deciding or I'm having a hard time doing something

and in this case it means I'm finding it difficult to decide what to order.

I'm having a hard time deciding.

Okay so now you've had a couple opportunities already to repeat these phrases after me.

Practice saying them with me at the same time.

100

Ready?

101

Hi do you have a table for two?

102

If it's possible could we sit by the window?

103

Thanks.

104

Can we take a minute to look at the menu?

105

Wow, everything looks so good.

106

I'm having a hard time deciding.

107

What are you thinking of getting?

108

I might go for the grilled chicken salad.

109

I think I'll get the pasta.

110

It's highly recommended.

111

All right, repeat after me again.

112

Hi, we're ready to order.

113

Hi, we're ready to order.

114

I'll have the grilled chicken salad please.

115

And could I get the dressing on the side?

116

I'll have the grilled chicken salad please.

117

and could I get the dressing on the side?

118

I'll take the pasta.

119

Could we also get some water for the table?

120

I'll take the pasta.

121

Could we also get some water for the table?

122

okay so a couple ways you could order at a restaurant great phrases to know I'll have

123

or I'll take both polite expressions for ordering food and also notice the expression could I get

124

something on the side so you don't want your dressing on top of the salad

125

but you want it next to the salad on your plate so that you can do it yourself.

126

You could use this for different sauces or condiments, but again, a really good question for ordering food at a restaurant.

127

Could I get that on the side, please?

128

Notice the pronunciation of the word water in American English.

129

That T is in the middle of the word, so it's a flap T sounding like a D.

130

Water.

131

Water.

132

Okay, let's shadow this section.

133

Say it with me.

134

Hi, we're ready to order.

135

I'll have the grilled chicken salad, please.

136

And could I get the dressing on the side?

137

I'll take the pasta.

138

Could we also get some water for the table?

139

Repeat.

140

Wow, this looks amazing.

141

Wow, this looks amazing.

142

Yeah, the portion size is just right.

143

Yeah, the portion size is just right.

144

Hmm, this is really good.

145

Do you want to try a bite?

146

Hmm, this is really good.

147

Do you want to try a bite?

148

Oh, wow, that's delicious.

149

Oh, wow, that's delicious.

150

okay so often

151

when we have a t at the end of the word in american english we will drop

152

that t sound and this isn't lazy pronunciation

153

or anything it's just natural speech

154

so that's how native speakers end up speaking with this very connected speech where we tend to drop certain sounds

155

or combine certain sounds.

156

And this happens really in any language and it's a natural way of speaking.

157

So instead of just right, we end up having just right.

158

You can hear it sounds like I'm saying just as if the word ends in an S.

159

Just right.

160

And then right, it's not right, but right.

161

You can hear that the sound stops.

162

You can almost think of it as a D sound.

163

So notice where your tongue is when you say d, d, and where the T is,

164

t, t, where your tongue is for that and your mouth position for that, we want more the mouth position for d.

165

So right, right, and not right.

166

So you don't need to pronounce it with a D sound like ride or anything like that.

167

Take the mouth position, right right the sound stops

168

and this is a much more natural way of speaking do

169

you want to try a bite is a really casual common

170

expression to say do you want to try some of my food

171

and this is where shadowing is so helpful

172

because you take a phrase like do you want to try a bite and it's one thing to learn individual words.

173

Do you want to try a bite?

174

And it becomes, do you want to try a bite?

175

So you can match my exact intonation.

176

You can hear that my voice goes, do you want to try a bite?

177

That's what I mean about intonation.

178

And then do you becomes do you want to becomes wanna try a bite, try a bite, try a bite.

179

So then it all comes together with this connected speech and you can practice all of that connection,

180

link it up with my intonation.

181

Do you want to try a bite?

182

And then you're sounding really natural in English.

183

Okay, let's shadow this section.

184

Wow, this looks amazing.

185

Yeah, and the portion size is just right.

186

Hmm, this is really good.

187

Do you want to try a bite?

188

Oh wow, that's delicious.

189

Okay, last section, repeat after me.

190

I'm so full.

191

That was exactly what I needed.

192

I'm so full.

193

That was exactly what I needed.

194

Same.

195

Do you want to get dessert?

196

Same.

197

Do you want to get dessert?

198

Maybe we can share something.

199

Maybe we can share something.

200

Good idea!

201

There's always room for dessert.

202

Good idea!

203

There's always room for dessert.

204

All right, so notice the pronunciation of the word dessert.

205

The S sound in the word is voiced, so it's zzz, not sss.

206

And it's not desert, because that would be the first syllable is stressed.

207

When it's the double S talking about something sweet after a meal, the stress is on the second syllable, dessert.

208

What followed by a vowel sound creates the flap T ending.

209

So what I, what I, not what I, but what I, what I needed.

210

And this final expression is a great one in English.

211

There's always room for dessert.

212

That means even if we're really full, which means I've had enough food, I can't eat anymore.

213

But then we can say, but there's always room for dessert.

214

So although I'm very full, I could still eat something sweet.

215

Because I don't know if you guys have ever experienced that you eat a full dinner and you think I'm so full, I couldn't possibly eat any more food.

216

But then you see a slice of cake or a bit of chocolate and you think, you know what, I still have some room.

217

I still have some room in my stomach.

218

There's always room for dessert.

219

Okay guys, let's shadow this final section.

220

Say it with me.

221

I'm so full.

222

That was exactly what I needed.

223

Same.

224

Do you want to get dessert?

225

Maybe we can share something.

226

Good idea.

227

There's always room for dessert.

228

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。
