Hello and welcome back to another Shadowing Practice or welcome if it's your first time tuning in.

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

If you want more videos like this to help with your English pronunciation, intonation, just overall sounding more natural and fluent,

check out my Shadowing Practice playlist.

But if you've seen all those already and you have notifications on

and you're always with for a new shadowing practice video with me

which I know so many of you are

because you're in the comments letting me know

that this is the type of content

that you want to see first of all I'm so pleased

that it's helpful to so many of you I'm

so grateful for your support in watching my videos subscribing to my channel

and for some of you joining as a member here on my channel it means that way.

So here's my little reminder to like the video, subscribe, and check out the memberships by clicking the join button below.

If getting a shadowing practice video from me here on YouTube once a month, maybe twice, is just not enough for you,

then I'm happy to share that I have started doing weekly live shadowing practices in my online learning community,

Next Level English.

So the description of this video.

When you join, it's a monthly subscription to be a part of a community where you get access to live shadowing practices with me,

group coaching calls with other English learners, but also with either myself or a native speaker,

and all my course material and exclusive videos, daily practices, listening exercises, grammar quizzes,

and of course, direct messaging with me so I can address all of your English questions.

So if that sounds interesting to you, check out the link in the description.

And I would love to see you in my community, get to know you and help you personally on your journey to English fluency.

All right, without further ado, let's start our shadowing practice today.

So the structure is going to be the same as always.

First, repeat after me, and then shadow what I say.

So you say it at the exact same time as me, matching my intonation, pronunciation, rhythm.

And this is going to help you overall with your English fluency, which includes feeling more confident when you're speaking English.

And I'm going to point out some specific pronunciation tips along the way.

So overall, it's just really going to help you with your English skills.

Now, contractions that you might have some questions about how to pronounce them or how to quickly speak them in English. So

I've come up with a story that has loads of contractions in there

and I will point out each one to you so that you can feel confident using them when you speak English.

Alright guys, let's get started.

English made easy with Claire.

So first, repeat after me.

I thought I'd wake up early today.

Thank you.

I thought I'd wake up early today.

I told myself I'd go for a run.

"Make a healthy breakfast." Make a healthy breakfast.

and start my day right.

Awesome.

So the one contraction that we see in this first section is "eyed." And that, of course, is the words "eye" and "would" contracted together.

And we pronounce this Eyed.

I'd I thought I'd wake up early today.

Thank you.

I told myself, I'd go for a run.

Thank you.

Alright, let's shadow this all together.

Say it with me.

"I thought I'd wake up early today.

I told myself I'd go for a run.

make a healthy breakfast, and start my day right.

All right, repeat.

I would have done all of that.

If my alarm hadn't betrayed me,

If my alarm hadn't betrayed me, For some reason, It didn't go off.

For some reason, it didn't go off.

All right, here we have three different contractions.

Would've.

which is would and have, Would've.

Would've.

So make sure that it is a voiced /v / sound very quickly at the end, Would've.

Would've.

And hadn't that's had and not together.

Hadn't And at the end here, in rapid speech especially, we have that stopped T sound.

So not "hadn't" but hadn't.

Hadn't.

So again in a lot of my shadowing videos I point out the stopped t

because it is a big question for a lot of people

especially in the American English accent we stop our t's a lot

when they're in the middle of the word or at the end of the word.

It almost sounds like a d sound or you can just think of the sound stopping and we have Didn't.

Didn't.

which is did and not.

Again, we have this stop T at the end.

This N' sound doesn't need to be overcomplicated,

and it's probably a little bit easier to Learn it within the phrase.

It didn't go off.

You can hear how the sound stops.

didn't.

didn't go off.

Okay, let's shadow this section.

Say it with me.

I would have done all of that.

if my alarm hadn't betrayed me.

For some reason, It didn't go off.

All right, repeat after me.

Instead, I didn't get up on time.

I didn't run.

and I've only had coffee instead of food.

100

and I've only had coffee instead of food.

101

Okay, again, we have the contraction didn't, so more opportunity to practice that one.

102

But we also have I've.

103

which is I have.

104

I've I've So let's shadow this all together.

105

Instead, I didn't get up on time.

106

I didn't run.

107

and I've only had coffee instead of food.

108

Repeat.

109

I keep thinking I'll do all that tomorrow.

110

I keep thinking, I'll do all that tomorrow.

111

Thank you.

112

Thank you but I've said that before.

113

But I've said that before.

114

So I've got great intentions.

115

So I've got great intentions.

116

They just haven't turned into actions yet.

117

They just haven't turned into actions yet.

118

Okay, the contractions we have here are I'll, I'll

119

and the l sound here can be a little bit tricky for some people

120

but don't overthink it you don't need to necessarily position the l too far back in the throat

121

if your native language tends to have very forward l's you can still keep the l quite forward i'll i'll

122

that works in english as well and in rapid speech it ends up sounding like i'll "I'll" instead of "I'll"

123

We have All.

124

All.

125

I'll do all that tomorrow.

126

We have "Ive" again, but I've said that before.

127

but I've said that before.

128

in rapid speech you might not really hear that that voiced sound, but I've said that, right?

129

But I've said that, but I've said that.

130

So it's easier.

131

This is why shadowing practice is so good.

132

It's easier to learn it in the context of the whole phrase.

133

And then that pronunciation really starts coming.

134

And finally, we have the contraction haven't.

135

which is have and not.

136

Haven't.

137

haven't.

138

And again, we have that n apostrophe t ending that Sounds like it just stops in American English pronunciation anyway.

139

Haven't. Have it.

140

And one last thing I want to say, I just want to point out, you can see here, I've got great intentions.

141

I've got.

142

The phrase I've got has the same meaning as I have.

143

You can either say I have got or I have, and they mean the same thing, but you will hear a lot of native speakers use this phrase.

144

I've got.

145

"great intentions" or "I've got work tomorrow." It's just a phrase that we commonly use.

146

So that's a good one to also have in your back pocket.

147

Okay, let's shadow this final section all together.

148

I keep thinking, I'll do all that tomorrow.

149

But I've said that before.

150

So, "I've got great intentions." They just haven't turned into actions yet.

151

Okay, let's take this entire story and shadow the whole thing together without stopping.

152

So here is the part where you can repeat this as many times as you need to.

153

Pause the video, slow it down, whatever you need to do.

154

Keep this one as a regular practice so you can really get used to pronouncing these contractions in a real world context.

155

Here we go.

156

Thank you.

157

"I thought I'd wake up early today.

158

I told myself I'd go for a run, Make a healthy breakfast.

159

and start my day right.

160

I would have done all of that.

161

If my alarm hadn't betrayed me, For some reason, it didn't go off.

162

Instead, I didn't get up on time.

163

I didn't run.

164

and I've only had coffee instead of food.

165

I keep thinking, I'll do all that tomorrow.

166

But I've said that before.

167

"So I've got great intentions." They just haven't turned into actions yet.

168

All right guys, thank you so much again for joining me for today's shadowing practice.

169

170

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。
