Hello everyone!
2
Welcome to Slow English.
3
The podcast is for English learners who want to speak English more naturally and confidently.
4
My name is Tom.
5
I'll be the host of the podcast today and hopefully many other podcasts in the future.
6
In today's episode, we're going to talk about something very simple but very powerful.
7
I will be speaking slowly and clearly,
8
so you can follow me and repeat after me.
9
Through this video, you can practice your listening skills and also your pronunciation skills by copying me.
10
So if you shadow me,
11
for example, shadowing means to copy something.
12
In English, this means to listen to someone speaking and then try to copy the sounds they make.
13
Some people will call it the listen and repeat method,
14
but it is basically the same thing.
15
You listen to the audio,
16
and then you repeat what you heard.
17
So if you do that,
18
then you can practice your pronunciation.
19
Before we start, if there are any words that you don't understand or that you couldn't really hear clearly,
20
just check the subtitles.
21
If you're just listening on headphones on another platform,
22
Then you can go to YouTube,
23
look in the description and download the transcript or just look at the subtitles.
24
So in today's podcast, I'm going to talk about the first time
25
when I'll introduce myself to you guys and I'll tell you about slow English.
26
Firstly, well, very nice to meet you.
27
My name is Tom.
28
Maybe you've seen me in videos on Facebook or TikTok.
29
You know, those of you who have seen me in different places,
30
I wanted to make this podcast to connect with you guys on a personal level.
31
So if there's anything, by the way,
32
you have any suggestions, you can just comment.
33
But anyway, I'm getting a little bit off topic now.
34
I made this podcast to help English learners,
35
specifically English learners for beginners,
36
and it's mostly for upper beginner and above learners.
37
But for higher level learners,
38
you can start listening to native content.
39
And that is why I made this podcast.
40
So I want to tell you guys about the journey from making Facebook and TikTok up until now,
41
because I could not believe how many people started following and watching my Facebook and TikTok channels.
42
I started putting out some videos on Facebook and I thought,
43
oh, you know, if I could get a few followers and a few views,
44
that would be cool.
45
I didn't expect much, to be honest,
46
but I had the goal of making more really useful videos.
47
That could help English learners learn English easily and naturally.
48
So I made the first video and didn't get too many views,
49
maybe I think 100 or something.
50
And I spent the day uploading the video on Facebook when I was at a cafe.
51
Then I started driving home.
52
I didn't think too much about it.
53
And then I opened the app on my phone and saw how many views the video has.
54
And I did that.
55
And then I saw it was like 5000 likes or something.
56
And that was after about a few minutes.
57
And so, I was thinking, something's wrong.
58
Not only that, but a lot of people were following.
59
And then every time I refreshed the page,
60
there were like thousands more views.
61
And so, I was shocked.
62
To be completely honest, I did not expect that to happen.
63
So I kept refreshing, and then there were more and more and more.
64
And I was like, what is going on?
65
I have like 10,000 followers and 15,000.
66
It was exploding.
67
And then so well, I kept on uploading videos.
68
Because again, I had all of these ideas in my head.
69
And I thought many English learners could really benefit from this.
70
It could be really useful for them.
71
And so apparently, you know, people liked it.
72
And I was very happy about that.
73
And so I made videos for about,
74
sorry, I'm talking a bit fast.
75
And so I made videos for about six months consistently.
76
To be honest, I can't really remember.
77
A bunch of followers and a bunch of views.
78
Some videos did much better than others.
79
But then I stopped making videos because I had made a lot of videos.
80
I had a lot of people follow me.
81
I had a decent sized Facebook group.
82
I think the video is not helpful and interesting enough for English learners.
83
And I think TikTok and Reels,
84
those short videos, I think they're useful for learning.
85
But if you really want to learn,
86
you need to have more.
87
And to be honest, I don't even really like TikTok.
88
I don't like the whole short content thing going on,
89
how everyone is pretty much addicted to short content.
90
I see it like cake,
91
you know, it's like really sweet, it's delicious.
92
And when you eat it,
93
you want to eat more.
94
And when you eat it,
95
your brain gets that dopamine,
96
and you feel really good, right?
97
And so it makes other foods not so appealing.
98
And I see short content kind of like that.
99
It makes us really used to getting that quick hit of a good feeling and then going to the next one.
100
And many people have talked about this,
101
so I'm not going to talk about it too much.
102
but what I wanted to do was create something bigger create something more useful
103
and
104
so that's what I'm working on right now I'm not going
105
to talk too much about it I will announce it in the future
106
so I started spending my time making the videos and those videos on Facebook or TikTok
107
they take a lot of time for me to think about what the video will be about,
108
to film it and to edit it because I didn't have a team.
109
I was doing everything by myself.
110
And so it took me a lot, a lot of time.
111
And I realized if I wanted to create something bigger and better,
112
then I needed to sacrifice something to have more time.
113
And so, I put short videos on pause,
114
and I'm working on something else.
115
Alright, I'm looking at my notes here,
116
because I made a bit of a plan for this podcast.
117
So, guys, what can you expect from this channel and from Slow English?
118
Well, on this channel I plan to upload content 3 or 4 times a week for a long video.
119
I want to focus more on long videos that are really high quality and really useful.
120
So you guys can learn, right?
121
Whenever I'm making a video,
122
I'm always thinking about you guys.
123
I'm thinking like, okay, what would be useful for them?
124
What would they watch?
125
And also be entertained by.
126
Because, you know, when you learn English,
127
you also have to have fun.
128
And if it's purely educational,
129
like someone in front of a whiteboard,
130
just writing, you know, this and this, then you feel bored.
131
And while it is very educational,
132
I think entertainment is crucial.
133
Especially these days when we can easily go to something else and be entertained.
134
So, yeah, that's what you can expect from this channel is videos each week.
135
And if there's anything you guys want to learn,
136
please just put a comment in the description.
137
I will read them and I will listen to your feedback for sure.
138
I don't want to ramble on and kind of bore you with talking.
139
So I don't think this podcast will be very long.
140
And I just want to introduce you guys to myself,
141
to Slow English, and to my new channel.
142
Let me know what you want to see.
143
So, thank you so much for watching,
144
and I'll see you next time.
145
Goodbye for now.
146
Your progress doesn't end here.

为什么要用这个视频练习说话？
在学习英语的过程中，口语表达是非常重要的。而通过本视频进行说话练习，你将会以一种简单而有效的方式来提高你的流利度和自信心。这种练习方法被称为shadow speak（影子说话），其核心在于通过模仿讲者的发音和语调，达到更自然的口语表达。
通过本视频，你不仅可以提高听力技能，还能改善发音。像这样进行雅思口语练习，能让你在真实的交流中更具自信，并能帮助你更好地适应英语的自然说话方式。
语法与表达在语境中的应用
在视频中，讲者使用了一些关键的句型和结构，帮助学习者理解英语的表达方式。
- 简单句与附加信息：讲者在介绍自己时使用了“我的名字是Tom”，这是一种常见的自我介绍方式，并且是初学者常用的句型。
- 使用副词强化表达：例如“慢慢地”和“清楚地”，这两个词有助于提高句子的表达清晰度，让听者更容易理解。
- 提问句式：讲者使用了“如果有任何建议，你可以评论。”这种句式不仅能引发互动，也展现了鼓励学习者表达自己的态度。
常见的发音陷阱
在进行shadowspeaks时，一些发音可能会让学习者感到困惑，特别是某些音节更容易被错误发音。
- 模糊音：讲者中有些词汇，如“listen”和“repeat”，对于非母语者来说可能难以清晰发音，需要特别练习。
- 语调变化：在日常交流中，语调的变化能够传达不同的情感，如疑问、惊讶等。这在模仿时很重要。
- 连读：英语中常会出现连读现象，例如“want to”变成“wanna”，这些都是初学者在影子练习时需注意的发音习惯。
通过系统的练习，你会发现自己的口语能力不断提高，变得更加自信。结合本视频中的内容，开始你的shadow speech练习之旅吧！
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。
