Hello everybody, welcome back to another video where I show you how to practice English by yourself at home.
0:00.00 0:05.47 (5.5s)
2
Today we're going for a walk. But first I want to show you this view that I have from my window right now.
0:05.47 0:12.33 (6.9s)
3
Do you see the ocean? How beautiful is the water? What a gorgeous sunny day.
0:12.33 0:18.63 (6.3s)
4
So we are currently in Madeira, we are pet sitting as you can see and we're about to go on our first walk.
0:18.97 0:25.33 (6.4s)
5
We're supposed to go down to the pier to the little harbor area.
0:25.53 0:29.83 (4.3s)
6
It's a very popular spot because this is a fisherman village and they have lots of boats and cute seafood restaurants around that area.
0:30.00 0:38.63 (8.6s)
7
So let's go see it together.
0:38.93 0:40.63 (1.7s)
8
Okay, the idea is for you to watch me how I do it.
0:40.63 0:43.93 (3.3s)
9
So then the next time you go for a walk, you do it yourself.
0:43.93 0:47.23 (3.3s)
10
So you want to just comment on everything you see and try to figure out, do you know these words?
0:47.23 0:53.10 (5.9s)
11
Do you not? Because a lot of the times you know these words when you hear them, but you're not able to use them whenever you need them.
0:53.17 1:00.83 (7.7s)
12
Hey, are you ready?
1:00.83 1:01.53 (0.7s)
13
Okay, so I'm going to put my sunglasses on because it's really sunny outside and I'm also going to put on my cap.
1:01.77 1:10.23 (8.5s)
14
I don't want to get a sunstroke or a heat stroke.
1:10.57 1:12.93 (2.4s)
15
And I also applied some SPF on my arms and my neck just in case.
1:12.93 1:17.43 (4.5s)
16
So when you're putting your clothes on, say what you're doing.
1:17.80 1:20.73 (2.9s)
17
When you're putting everything you need in your bag, say what you're putting in your bag.
1:20.93 1:25.73 (4.8s)
18
Just comment on everything.
1:25.73 1:27.30 (1.6s)
19
You're going to see you thought you knew a lot more words than you do.
1:27.53 1:30.43 (2.9s)
20
These little guys are so excited.
1:30.43 1:32.13 (1.7s)
21
They think they're going with us, but they're not.
1:32.13 1:34.83 (2.7s)
22
Sorry guys, we're going to come back soon.
1:35.07 1:37.33 (2.3s)
23
Not this time. We went for a walk already.
1:37.53 1:39.57 (2.0s)
24
You guys are good.
1:39.83 1:40.87 (1.0s)
25
We played with you.
1:40.87 1:42.03 (1.2s)
26
You have food, you have water.
1:42.03 1:43.73 (1.7s)
27
We're now locking the door and we're going to take the elevator.
1:43.73 1:47.70 (4.0s)
28
So a lot of the times when you're going to do this exercise, you're going to find yourself not knowing some words and that's okay.
1:47.73 1:54.27 (6.5s)
29
Just try to explain what that word is and what it does and just like move on.
1:54.27 1:58.33 (4.1s)
30
Look at this view.
1:58.33 2:00.97 (2.6s)
31
These are all banana trees if I'm not mistaken.
2:00.97 2:03.87 (2.9s)
32
Madeira is absolutely gorgeous.
2:04.27 2:07.13 (2.9s)
33
So right now we're walking and we're going to go down a very steep road, which means very abrupt like this.
2:07.33 2:14.07 (6.7s)
34
Look at this.
2:14.07 2:14.77 (0.7s)
35
See how steep that is?
2:14.77 2:15.87 (1.1s)
36
So we're going to take these stairs one by one and hopefully we don't fall.
2:15.90 2:21.03 (5.1s)
37
There are a lot of lizards, very, very tiny lizards or geckos.
2:21.03 2:25.03 (4.0s)
38
I don't think they're geckos.
2:25.03 2:25.97 (0.9s)
39
They're lizards.
2:25.97 2:26.50 (0.5s)
40
So I have to be careful not to walk on them.
2:27.07 2:30.07 (3.0s)
41
Hold on. Look.
2:30.33 2:31.03 (0.7s)
42
Okay. Do you see it?
2:31.33 2:32.43 (1.1s)
43
So cute. These stairs are made of cobblestone, which is popular here in Portugal.
2:33.67 2:40.20 (6.5s)
44
And it's good because you don't slip on these stairs when it's wet because these rocks are very uneven and kind of sharp.
2:41.17 2:50.47 (9.3s)
45
So it helps with the grip of your shoes.
2:50.93 2:54.70 (3.8s)
46
Wait, in the last video you said the cobblestone is bad because it's uneven.
2:55.23 2:59.57 (4.3s)
47
Now you're saying it's good.
3:00.83 3:01.97 (1.1s)
48
Well this one is good.
3:01.97 3:03.27 (1.3s)
49
That one was not.
3:03.50 3:04.47 (1.0s)
50
What do you think about this pathway?
3:04.73 3:06.43 (1.7s)
51
Yeah. Why do you like it?
3:08.10 3:09.07 (1.0s)
52
I like it because there's stairs and I don't have to go like this because it puts a lot of pressure on knees and stuff.
3:09.10 3:16.03 (6.9s)
53
And you can like slip and fall so it's very dangerous.
3:16.27 3:19.03 (2.8s)
54
So these steps are probably made by the locals so then you don't slip.
3:19.43 3:24.77 (5.3s)
55
But see how steep this is.
3:24.77 3:26.87 (2.1s)
56
I don't know if you can see like in comparison to the actual straight line here, how steep this road is.
3:26.87 3:34.07 (7.2s)
57
I think it's, I don't know, it's like 45 degrees or something.
3:34.63 3:38.83 (4.2s)
58
45?! What is it?
3:39.10 3:41.63 (2.5s)
59
15. I don't even know.
3:41.97 3:42.63 (0.7s)
60
15? No, maybe it's like 25 degrees.
3:42.63 3:45.50 (2.9s)
61
See? Look, it's so steep.
3:45.87 3:49.33 (3.5s)
62
Okay there's also a really beautiful river here.
3:49.57 3:52.13 (2.6s)
63
Let me show you.
3:52.13 3:52.73 (0.6s)
64
Look, it's so beautiful and then there are some bananas over there and that is a banana flower.
3:53.03 4:00.53 (7.5s)
65
Okay so Madeira landscape is very hilly.
4:00.77 4:04.30 (3.5s)
66
There's a lot of hills.
4:04.53 4:05.77 (1.2s)
67
There's a lot of steep roads.
4:06.33 4:08.13 (1.8s)
68
There's a lot of narrow streets and the streets have maximum two lanes I believe, unless it's a highway that connects some cities or towns.
4:08.57 4:21.47 (12.9s)
69
But we are going down the hill right now towards the water.
4:22.27 4:26.27 (4.0s)
70
Oh my god, something smells so good like burned caramel or burnt sugar or something.
4:26.53 4:31.53 (5.0s)
71
Is there a restaurant here?
4:31.87 4:32.77 (0.9s)
72
Look at these houses.
4:33.00 4:34.07 (1.1s)
73
They're literally at the edge of that cliff.
4:34.07 4:36.67 (2.6s)
74
The sidewalks in Madeira are very small and they're only on one side of the street because there's not enough space for two sidewalks on each side of the street.
4:36.70 4:48.03 (11.3s)
75
Some streets don't even have sidewalks and do you see how all of them just kind of like go in like serpentines like this?
4:48.27 4:56.00 (7.7s)
76
So you can't really tell if there's a vehicle coming from around the corner or not.
4:56.00 5:01.17 (5.2s)
77
So you have to be very careful.
5:01.17 5:02.33 (1.2s)
78
Look at this.
5:02.33 5:02.57 (0.2s)
79
So next time you go for a walk in your mind, try to comment on everything that you see, that you feel, that you want.
5:03.23 5:12.20 (9.0s)
80
Look at this layering.
5:12.50 5:13.57 (1.1s)
81
Seems a little scary.
5:13.83 5:14.87 (1.0s)
82
I don't know if these things might fall or not, but look at those cacti and those flowers.
5:15.17 5:21.33 (6.2s)
83
So pretty. Everything is just so green and beautiful.
5:22.10 5:26.43 (4.3s)
84
I don't know what that is.
5:26.43 5:27.30 (0.9s)
85
Some sort of urban island art, but looks kind of creepy to be honest.
5:27.63 5:36.23 (8.6s)
86
So again, see how curvy this road is.
5:36.57 5:39.73 (3.2s)
87
So we have to go all the way down there.
5:39.73 5:41.77 (2.0s)
88
Okay, so there's a crosswalk here.
5:42.27 5:44.27 (2.0s)
89
You can go that way, but then if you go back, there isn't a sidewalk over here.
5:44.27 5:49.17 (4.9s)
90
And there's a beautiful garden over there and I think that might be a school.
5:49.93 5:53.47 (3.5s)
91
So we are getting closer to the center of this small village.
5:54.03 6:00.93 (6.9s)
92
So here you start seeing lots of street signs and the roads are a little bit bigger here.
6:01.33 6:06.73 (5.4s)
93
And you can see like some small restaurants.
6:07.77 6:11.27 (3.5s)
94
Look at that cliff.
6:11.83 6:13.43 (1.6s)
95
Do you see how that house is literally built on that rock and it's just so abrupt.
6:13.83 6:19.77 (5.9s)
96
There is a tunnel going through this rock.
6:20.13 6:21.30 (1.2s)
97
Through this mountain.
6:21.63 6:24.57 (2.9s)
98
And can you imagine that Madeira is literally like this.
6:25.60 6:29.73 (4.1s)
99
Like the whole island is like this.
6:29.73 6:32.60 (2.9s)
100
This is a beautiful roundabout here and they have a monument.
6:32.60 6:36.33 (3.7s)
101
I don't know exactly what that is.
6:36.63 6:38.13 (1.5s)
102
I would have to go around it and read what's on it.
6:38.13 6:41.03 (2.9s)
103
And then we're going to go down the street.
6:41.03 6:43.30 (2.3s)
104
As you can see, there aren't any sidewalk crosswalks.
6:43.30 6:46.90 (3.6s)
105
So I'm just going to jaywalk. So when you cross the street, not on a crosswalk, it's called jaywalking and you should not be doing that.
6:46.90 6:56.37 (9.5s)
106
So another thing that comes up every time I post a video with activities like this is people asking me, well what if I'm making mistakes when I'm talking and there's nobody there to correct me.
6:56.73 7:08.17 (11.4s)
107
And I always tell everybody this exercise in particular is not about mistakes.
7:08.87 7:13.97 (5.1s)
108
It's about vocabulary, refreshing your vocabulary and practicing it.
7:14.23 7:18.90 (4.7s)
109
Dan and I speak English to each other because otherwise we would forget the language.
7:19.13 7:24.63 (5.5s)
110
I also practice by posting videos and going live and whatnot.
7:24.87 7:30.53 (5.7s)
111
So it's a way for me to maintain my language as well because if I stop speaking English then it'll go away.
7:30.83 7:38.67 (7.8s)
112
I've already started noticing my English kind of Oh god, what's that word?
7:38.70 7:45.80 (7.1s)
113
Deteriorate?
7:46.40 7:46.83 (0.4s)
114
Yes, deteriorate, becoming worse since I left Canada.
7:46.87 7:51.20 (4.3s)
115
This dog is for some reason.
7:51.20 7:52.47 (1.3s)
116
Hey! Hey! We don't have any food, I'm sorry.
7:52.83 7:56.67 (3.8s)
117
Okay, so this is a stray dog.
7:58.83 8:00.70 (1.9s)
118
Clearly he isn't with anybody.
8:01.27 8:03.83 (2.6s)
119
He's just so happy.
8:04.10 8:05.40 (1.3s)
120
He looks well fed.
8:05.40 8:06.97 (1.6s)
121
He just decided to show us the way.
8:07.00 8:09.43 (2.4s)
122
He's not following us, he's leading us, he's guiding us.
8:09.70 8:13.43 (3.7s)
123
Okay doggy, where should we go next?
8:13.73 8:15.50 (1.8s)
124
He's a local guide.
8:16.07 8:17.40 (1.3s)
125
We found him on TripAdvisor.
8:17.97 8:19.63 (1.7s)
126
Where is he?
8:19.63 8:20.10 (0.5s)
127
Hi, sweetie!
8:20.93 8:22.30 (1.4s)
128
Someone is playing, is that pickleball or padel?
8:22.30 8:25.23 (2.9s)
129
I don't know what that is but they are playing it.
8:25.63 8:29.33 (3.7s)
130
Literally waited for us and now he started running in front of us again.
8:29.33 8:33.73 (4.4s)
131
Where is he going?
8:34.53 8:35.53 (1.0s)
132
Are we supposed to follow him?
8:35.57 8:37.17 (1.6s)
133
Another thing that you can do if you're not ready to speak in full sentences yet is just to name every object that you see.
8:37.97 8:45.00 (7.0s)
134
For example, crosswalk, fence, sidewalk, street sign, traffic lights.
8:45.20 8:52.23 (7.0s)
135
Okay, so we are crossing the street now on the crosswalk and look at this view.
8:52.23 8:58.67 (6.4s)
136
It's a little bit windy so there is a print museum here in Madeira and look at this printer that they have outside.
8:59.03 9:07.53 (8.5s)
137
Look at all those pieces.
9:07.77 9:09.53 (1.8s)
138
If you're an engineer and you're learning English, try to name all of the pieces.
9:09.83 9:15.50 (5.7s)
139
What do we know?
9:15.90 9:16.83 (0.9s)
140
We know keyboard, tube, lever, what else?
9:17.60 9:20.97 (3.4s)
141
Knob. Where's the knob?
9:21.33 9:22.20 (0.9s)
142
Oh that's a knob, a plaque, a chain, yeah.
9:22.43 9:26.60 (4.2s)
143
What is it? A hook?
9:26.90 9:27.57 (0.7s)
144
A hook. That is a hook.
9:27.80 9:29.90 (2.1s)
145
That is a spring.
9:30.23 9:31.57 (1.3s)
146
Okay, so there is a beach club over there.
9:32.00 9:34.87 (2.9s)
147
The beaches here are not sandy.
9:35.07 9:37.43 (2.4s)
148
Oh my god, look at that.
9:37.77 9:42.77 (5.0s)
149
Do you see those houses over there on the hill?
9:43.13 9:45.47 (2.3s)
150
On the cliff.
9:45.80 9:46.63 (0.8s)
151
So we arrived.
9:46.63 9:47.63 (1.0s)
152
This is the little harbor area.
9:48.03 9:50.20 (2.2s)
153
Look at those colorful boats there.
9:50.53 9:52.53 (2.0s)
154
So we're gonna go and find maybe a place to eat in that area.
9:52.53 9:57.50 (5.0s)
155
This place is a volcanic island.
9:57.50 10:00.37 (2.9s)
156
Look at this.
10:00.77 10:01.37 (0.6s)
157
So gorgeous.
10:02.97 10:04.57 (1.6s)
158
I don't know what the colorful floating things are called.
10:04.57 10:08.33 (3.8s)
159
If you're talking to somebody from here that is used to this environment, they will probably know what these things are called.
10:08.33 10:15.40 (7.1s)
160
But because they're not part of my vocabulary, I don't use them.
10:15.73 10:19.43 (3.7s)
161
I don't need that word.
10:19.43 10:20.57 (1.1s)
162
I just said, what are those little colorful floating things?
10:21.03 10:24.77 (3.7s)
163
And then if I am talking to someone from here, they will tell me.
10:25.00 10:28.20 (3.2s)
164
So you use the other person that you're talking to as your dictionary.
10:28.60 10:32.23 (3.6s)
165
You just describe the things to them and then they just give you the word.
10:32.50 10:36.23 (3.7s)
166
And that's perfectly fine because native speakers do the same thing.
10:36.23 10:40.50 (4.3s)
167
And even you in your native language, sometimes you forget the word.
10:40.80 10:44.20 (3.4s)
168
Sometimes you don't know some words.
10:44.40 10:46.07 (1.7s)
169
But if you know that the person who you're talking to knows it, you're just going to describe it to them and then they're going to give you the term.
10:46.43 10:52.60 (6.2s)
170
So this is a pretty popular thing in Portugal, I think.
10:52.83 10:56.20 (3.4s)
171
I've seen it before where they do this street art.
10:56.20 10:59.00 (2.8s)
172
But it's with metal and plastic and I don't know if it's recycled stuff.
10:59.20 11:04.03 (4.8s)
173
But look at this pretty seal.
11:04.63 11:05.87 (1.2s)
174
It's so cute.
11:06.10 11:07.00 (0.9s)
175
That person is opening the garage doors so the car can get out.
11:07.00 11:10.70 (3.7s)
176
And we're just going to go around the sea wall and get to that little harbor area.
11:10.93 11:16.37 (5.4s)
177
Look at the waves splashing into the rocks.
11:16.60 11:19.20 (2.6s)
178
I think this is a hotel, Pestana Churchill Bay.
11:19.60 11:22.23 (2.6s)

Because it says reception over there.
11:22.23 11:24.10 (1.9s)
180
Oh my God! Look, there's Churchill over there.
11:24.10 11:26.57 (2.5s)
181
Look at him.
11:26.57 11:27.10 (0.5s)
182
He's so serious.
11:27.10 11:27.90 (0.8s)
183
Sounds like little claps.
11:28.20 11:29.47 (1.3s)
184
Also, I don't quite understand how this is 16 degrees and it's so warm.
11:32.80 11:38.67 (5.9s)
185
Like I feel completely fine with a short sleeve.
11:38.67 11:41.63 (3.0s)
186
When 16 degrees anywhere else that I've been was really cold.
11:42.83 11:47.93 (5.1s)
187
And I'm by the ocean and it should be breezy and colder.
11:47.93 11:51.90 (4.0s)
188
I don't get it.
11:52.10 11:53.30 (1.2s)

Madeira is known to be the island of the eternal spring because the temperatures don't fluctuate a lot and it's always pretty much just like this.
11:53.30 12:03.50 (10.2s)
190
Maybe in winter it gets a little bit colder and then it's also said that this island is the Hawaii of Europe.
12:03.50 12:10.50 (7.0s)
191
So I'm really excited to explore more.
12:10.50 12:12.30 (1.8s)
192
Okay, so we're back from our walk and this is how you practice English by yourself.
12:12.30 12:16.20 (3.9s)
193
Now we're going to grill some chicken and some veggies.
12:16.20 12:19.03 (2.8s)
194
And if you want to, when you do that, narrate what you're doing.
12:19.07 12:23.13 (4.1s)
195
You're cutting the chicken, you're slicing it, you're putting it on the grill, you're searing it, whatever you're doing.
12:23.43 12:28.03 (4.6s)
196
Chopping the vegetables, slicing the onions, tossing the salad.
12:28.73 12:32.47 (3.7s)
197
So many things that you think you know, you understand when someone else says that, but you can't use it the same way.
12:33.07 12:40.43 (7.4s)
198
I will post more of these vlog style videos hello, quiet please.
12:40.43 12:45.90 (5.5s)
199
I'm going to be posting more videos like this where I show you how you can practice your passive vocabulary and turn it into your active vocabulary.

逐步影子练习指南

为了有效提升你的英语口语能力,尝试以下步骤进行影子跟读:

  1. 首先,选择一个清晰的讲话者,像这个视频中的讲述者,他们的表达自然且易于理解。
  2. 在观看视频时,努力听清他们每一句话的发音和语调。注意重音和节奏,这对提高英语发音至关重要。
  3. 你可以暂停视频,并尝试跟读讲述者的每一句话。模仿他们的语调和重音,使你的发音更地道。
  4. 在日常生活中,继续将这类短语运用到实际场景中,无论是在散步时、购物时还是与他人交谈时,尽量多用英语交流。
  5. 定期回顾自己的进步,可以通过录下自己的声音来比较,找出需要改进的地方。

通过这些方法,你将能在日常生活中提高英语口语能力,更流利地与他人交流,并为雅思口语练习做好更充分的准备。不妨将看YouTube学英语作为你学习的一部分,随时随地进行英语影子跟读练习。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。

如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习

  1. 选择您的视频: 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲,BBC新闻,电影片段,播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频(短于5分钟)以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
  2. 先听,理解上下文: 第一次听的时候,将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义,收集新词汇,并注意讲话人如何强调单词,连读声音及使用停顿。
  3. 设置跟读模式:
    • 等待模式:选择 +3s+5s ——在每句话播放完毕后,视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步,请选择 手动
    • 字幕同步:YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用 ±100ms 使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
  4. 大声跟读(核心练习): 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴:要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子,而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子,直到感觉自然为止。
  5. 提高难度: 当练习段落变得相对舒适后,就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
