shadowing technique the shadowing
technique is when you simply repeat
after the speaker so you listen to
something you hear and you repeat after
the speaker to apply the shadowing
technique you need to have some audio
materials
I suggest that you choose an audio
material with a transcript this will
make it easier for you once you've found
an audio and have a transcript this is
when you can apply and do the shadowing
techniques I suggest that you first
listen to the audio and follow the
transcript so you don't shadow you just
listen and follow transcript then
suggests that you listen to the audio
again but stop at every 10 seconds and
applied the shadowing technique I
suggest that you stop every 10 seconds
so that it's simply not too overwhelming
and too difficult for you let's do this
together so that you can understand
below in the description you'll find a
natural conversation between two English
speakers let's listen to the first 10
seconds together so first I will listen
to the audio and just follow the
transcript
have you finished reading that book I
gave you oh I haven't had time lately to
read it I still have about 100 pages
left great now listen to it and now
we're going to apply the shadow and
technique so we're going to repeat after
the speaker so the speaker said have you
finished reading that book I gave you
and I will repeat and you'll be as well

gave you
have you finished reading that book I
gave you

excellent
we're shadowing friends this is what the
shadowing technique is so you are
speaking in English make sure to take
note and to copy exactly what the
speaker is saying if the speaker is
adding stress on certain words you do
that as well if they are pausing you
make it boys
the audio below in the description goes
for about two to three minutes what I
suggest that you do is listen to the
audio and apply the shadowing technique
at every 10-second interval this will
make it easier for you you'll be able to
break down information and you'll be
more motivated to shatter and to speak
in English it's while applying the
shadowing technique be positive trying
to stay as optimistic as you can it will
take time it will take dedication and it
is probably hard for you at the moment
don't worry about making mistakes
mistakes are a part of the learning
process the more mistakes you make the
better you will get a great way to see
the mistakes that you're making is to
record yourself
so while shadowing try to record your
voice and then listen to voice compared
to the speaker doing this you'll be able
to see where you are making mistakes in
your pronunciation intonation or word
stress I don't suggest that you spend
two to three hours every day doing the
shadowing technique friends remember
it's important to set small and
realistic goals one to two minutes of
effective shadowing a day is enough it's
more than enough try to remain
consistent and set small goals try a
shout out for one to two minutes each
day and you will see results and
improvements in your spoken English in
the long term if you make
system and pay attention to the mistakes
that you're making and try to improve on
your mistakes you'll see results in your
spoken English you'll see your
pronunciation improving your intonation
