What is shadowing? I define it as 'training for English fluency'. shadowing is a good way to improve your pronunciation, accent and speaking as well as rhythm. It gets your mouth moving, and your ears paying attention to English.
Regardless of whether it's the best way to improve English speaking or not, to get good at speaking English you're going to have to do some hard work.
And shadowing is no different.
People often come to me asking how can I improve spoken English? Do I need people around me to practise?
The answer is no.
This lesson is going to show you how to learn to speak English NOW, even if you don't have anybody to speak with.
Understand that speaking has to be learnt physically.
It is important to get a lot of English speaking practice. Actually, speak English. Actually, move your mouth. If you don't move your mouth when you learn, pronunciation will be hard. Which means speaking will be hard.
There is a problem ...
If you don't live in an English speaking country, you'd probably say ...
"But this isn't an English speaking country -- how can I get a lot of English speaking practice?'
I don't mean "English conversation practice".
I mean the same type of practice that gets you good at riding a bike. Raw, repetitive practice.
English speaking practice. Training your mouth to speak English easily, and fluently.
English speaking practice is much easier than you probably think.
You don't need other people to practice your English speaking skills.
Just use your listening materials!
The important part is the CD, but the book also has an important use.
A summary of the shadowing technique I describe in the video:
- Listen to the book as many times as you can.
- Read the book and check any words you don't know in your dictionary.
- Listen to the book again.
- Listen and read (out loud!) the book together. Practice section by section until you get really good at it.
- Shadow the CD without the book.
It's a really good idea to record yourself doing this too, so you can tell where you're making pronunciation mistakes.

Shadowing is SOOO great for any language! Daily 10 minute long shadowing results in a drastic advancement!
what sort of thing do you use to practice shadowing?
Ted Talks :3/
Is it really helpfull in practice?
you mean drastic like Pokemon games grabe grabe Mahal paren kita 😎
@@Nadia-mx5dg Of course not! Speaking won't make you better at speaking duuhhh.
U guy know what, i practice my speaking by imagine some cool situation and talk with myself like in a deep voice or sth :)) Sometimes it freaks my mom out :))
I also do this Lol
I practice my speaking with my cats LOL
I practice with my tree lol
Good job. how it is going so far?
For me i always stumble when i speak english. i don't know what i should do ?
It is great.
All you need is more practice, real interactive practice. And people don't need to know how you were speaking English before you become fluent and confident. Only Echobean can help you achieve that. Try it !

It's funny how I'm always trying to improve my fluency by shadowing videos and now I find out it is actually a technique used by many. Great video!
haha we both, actually this is how I learn everything.

I am a native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese. When learning Argentinian Spanish, I used this technique. Actually, I took a simultaneous translation course from Portuguese into Spanish. I can assure you, guys, it's absolutely helpful! Thanks, Julian!
i can understand and can write english in a good level , but whenever it comes into actual speaking, i always stutter and make a mess. this looks like an effective practice technique thank you very much! subscribed!

I'm studying English at the age of 2 and today I was discouraged. I read texts with audios until I can repeat them, I thought I was going the wrong way. but now that I've seen this video I've been more excited. thanks!
Thank's for share this information.
God Bless You!!!

I wasn't born in an english country but I know how to speak english. I was confident enough so I applied to a customer service job in which we only handle emails. Worked for 1 year and 4 months and I was good at it. I thought my english was perfect so I never practice it, nor speak it. Even as I write this statement, you notice that I barely get mistakes.
Now I transferred to a company, still customer service but this time we handle calls from actual Kiwis. Was interviewed by the trainor and it was the WORST day of my life. My voice was shaking, I couldn't express my actual thoughts and my statement was redundant and made less sense by the moment. Thankfully, I was still hired but they told me to practice my english speaking very well.
Thank you for this video. Will surely save me from being unemployed.
I'll try this wonderful method to improve my English😊

3年前のコメントに返信するのもどうかと思うんですが、3年間で英語力は向上されましたか?
to be honest, this is the best thing to practice any languages you desire to learn. It's very strong, you'll get powerful audio, powerful reading and powerful speaking. All three together in one place. The best
hi there can you please help me,Where did you find any good materials try this because i don know to what materials to look for
@@franian77 Just watch videos on youtube that you like. It really doesn't matter as long as the youtuber is speaking clear enough. Do it all the time when you watch a video. If you only practice for 10min per day you could also search for exercises.
I actually work with another English USA teacher and I was practicing repeating his lessons in the way you are showing us here. Shadowing you call it, so I agree with you and think this is a great way to try to improve our acent, intonation and how to speak better, even to understand better what natives people tell us.
I want to know some free download audios for practice
Thank you so much for helping me improve my English speaking.It works for me, I practice every day!
Great video Julian. As a native speaker, I agree that shadowing is a great exercise. I used this a lot when I was learning my second language, and I found it very useful! :0
I tried this method, it is really amazing, it improves your pronunciation in no time, it makes you fluent
I've just shadowed this video! 🐑
Carlos Alberto Sierra Arenas me too:D
Me too LOL it feels fantastic indeed!
Me too
Who else did it while watching the video?

Hello Hello
+DAVID ARGUELLO I can't think of a better name, any ideas? haha
Nice icon.
I will definitely try this technique, I want to become more confident in my pronunciation.
Go for it!!
How it's going your English?
This technique is derived from Callan Method which is great! I began practicing "shadowing" when I studied Italian and wanted to apply The Method to the language other then English. This is the best way I know to recommend. Thank you, Julian, for your videos!
i will try shadowing lyrics of a lot of songs i use to listen everyday. singing together with the music and forcing the brain to understand the lyrics.
Why to make him sad? Is it important. He's just trying to help us to improve our spaking and listening skills! On my own I must say "Thanks" to him because he is a volunteer who wants only to help!
I just love your technique how to learn English.Very useful for me, thanks a lot :)
Thank you. It is really a helpful video
I love your accent. I will continue practicing my english skills with your videos.
Wow, that sounds plausible! I'll try this technique certainly. Thanks Julian!
My teacher gave us this interesting video, I really like it, it's interesting. Thank you so much! by the way, it's a good explanation.
Hello my name is Dawson. I'm from Myanmar. I've been learning English since when I was attending in International school. I realise that my English speaking was not that good so I just learn it from the course book pdf and I can't even understand English that much in other subjects. I don't know how to express my feeling in English when I was having a conversation with my friends, teachers and other people. Later on when I saw this shadowing technique It is a lot useful for me and I feel like I am in right way learning English speaking skills and listening. Thank you very much for sharing this technique, I do appreciate a lot. I am glad to subscribe and join your courses. Thanks and kindly regards!
I'm teaching Portuguese to a spanish student. I'll try this technique with him. It's so inovating! I'm sure he will enjoy it.
Thanks!
It's awesome and so helpful. I will practice this.
Me too. I also will practice this technique.
Amazing! I am a teacher...This is exactly was I was looking for to use with my students!! Great stuff :)
I really feel that this is something I should have known before. Thank you so much Julian. Love your videos !
omg Julian ,your method is so helpful to me, because my english listening level is good enough,but right now my speaking have some issues, for eaxmple, when i talking with gpt voice or myself,i couldn't say fluently in conversation. so i would like to try your method. Thank you!
I didn't know that beck was an english teacher
who is beck?
ɷɷɷɷ Heeyy Frienddssss I Have F0undd Working Online Hacck visittttt : - t.co/kGLCULbDA2
Couldn't agree more!
Israel Virtud I think he speaks like that in order to make it easier for foreign people, whose first language isn't English, to understand.
Hahahaha!! I just laughed so hard! Hysterical!! I thought the same thing. He is a great speaker, but can he dance like Beck?
This tecnique was wonderful, I think it will help me a lot.
The idea of shadowing teach is very effective & easy to learn English in short period. thank you.
I need someone to practice english together everyday

Ridoduong It's been 2 years. How did it go?
same question as above.
Ridoduong same above
it seems like anyone who does this technique dies, no one ever responded how did it go.
WARNING: this technique might be dangerous guys, you gotta be careful.
Hey did it work? how are you doing ?
hi i´m studying english for four months and I will practice with this technique to improve my english, thanks a lot.
Wow! Really loved this tip! I'm going to London in September and I want to sound natural as much as possible speaking in English! I will practice at home the shadowing technique!
I am doing this with a "big bang theory" episode :)
does it work ?
Nguyen Tao Yes it does, It is funny as well, but a high level of english is required because there are a lot of complex words. I am not an expert but, I have improved my skills A LOT watching the episodes.
here the page with the transcripts (if you wanna do Shadowing). I encourage you to try it by yourself.

Good Luck.
bernardo hernandez to shadow sheldon is really a tough mission!good for u
Me too :)
Thank you, bernardo hernandez. I'm addicted to The Big Bang theory too. Your website link is really useful for me to appy Shadowing method. Wish you to upgrade your English skills better and better :))
There is an app in play store
type "Shadowing" and search you will find.
I found out this technique myself. Honestly,I wouldn't know it was technique. It was so helpful for my pronunciation and accent. I think this technique seems like absorbing language into yourself.
Thankyou so much. It's really good exercise. I like it.
I was using this method with my self too it is smart to call it "Shadow", but after passage of time i got bored form doing it with my self :D
Really nice ! Thank´s for this tip, Julian. I´ll do it right away and I´ll come back to give you a my feedback on this learning technique...
Alex - Brazil - SP
Thak you
Hey what happened? How is your English now?
Awesome! I'm so glad you're sharing the key of any language for learning. Thanks for being so great! Take care!
I've been struggling to learn English for a long time and this technics to learn by shadowing sounds nice to me. Thanks for sharing it with us.
whoever learned a foreign language knows that nothing can replace real conversation - conversation with another person. I can try to speak to myself, make up stories, but it is not the same - there is no interaction and you do not force yourself to speak what you need to say and you just stick to simple sentences, staying in your comfort zone. Repeating sentence is pointless to practise fluency and might be good for practising pronunciation. Listening is pointless for improving speaking as well (its like listening to music when you learn to play an instrument). The best way to find someone to talk to in order to practise speaking is to pay a native person (or find a friend if you are a person of such a great ability).
Dusan Veselka i totaly agree with you
Dusan Veselka ,me too I totaly agree with you ,because I'm in the same situation ,I speak with my self in order to improve my English, but I find that it's not as useful as talking with a native speaker😦
I m learning two languages how can I improve my fluency T the same time
yeah u are are right but his idea its not very bad
The best way is to live or spend time in an English-speaker country!
There is no other way!
I'm shadowing while you're saying all of these😂
Thank you for sharing. I will continue to learn and hope that one day I can really communicate with native speakers.

Thank you very much for this good information. I'm putting your tips with excellent results. I can not believe how good it feels to progress in the study. I love this way of learning English. I found a website which gives you the MP3 with the text for printing and is excellent. Best regards.
Damian Gonzalez could you give me the link, i'll apreciate that very much
Quang Nguyen Trung Hello.
I pass the link to two very good sites. The first website Storynory is more for beginners.
The second site is slightly more advanced. The second website manythings.org, which is part of the Voice of America. This site has an option called Listen and Read Along, which contains the MP3 and texts.
Link to the first site to learn English with audio and text is www.storynory.com/

I'm not sure but i think he's from England, because of his accent
Anyone has good audio file which is British accent? Please share with me :D

Hey Julian, great video!
I have a question, you said I need some audio to use for shadowing, Songs are a good decision? I am from Egypt and my pronunciation is not as good as my writing or understanding English and I really want to improve it.. thanks in advance
i have the same problem, we can try it together buddy
+Ali Muhammed Songs aren't the best way to improve your English just for the fact that they twist the words in order to rhyme them. I would really recommend online practicing such as TeamSpeak program/client, it will help you a lot.
+Ali Muhammed
الحال من بعضه هههههههههههههههههههههه
Do it with Ted talks! You have subtitles in many languages and the transcript in English.
Ali Muhammed why all arabics have the same name like muhammed?
I am vietnamese and i have been following you guy to learn more about English.
Thank you for teaching Shadowing, I will improve my prononunciation.
Hi Julian,
Could you please tell us what part fo England are you from? The way you pronounce three = free, thought = fought ...
wild guess: manchester?
London(not sure) but the accent is cockney
The accent is not cockney.
It sounds like a southern accent though.
There are many more accents in the UK than cockney and posh. xD

Congratulations! You just saved a life! I liked this video so much cause its is not only more one video "How to be fluent in 10 sec" . I believe that will works to me
It’s unbelievable feeling to listen your explanation, unfortunately my broken English don’t let me to write all my emotions thank you so much...!
Oh man, he is so cuteee!!!! I wanna marry him!! Lol... Very good tips Julian... thanks a bunch. ^_^
Barking up the wrong tree there, he's clearly already in a monogamous single-sex civil partnership.
'rivym', 'fing' 'mp free' hehe
mightlife well that's how some of the English pronounce voiced and unvoiced "th"
It's rather easy for a native (whatever language) speaker to give advice on how to master their (whatever language). You guys never had to work hard to learn it well. How would you know how to reprogram my brain from my own native tongue to comply with the set of rules in your language? You can only judge by the outcome, but the hard work has to be done by the student. A learner of (whatever language) is disadvantaged by many factors, one of them being that he or she started late, lacks the language surroundings and sooner or later finds out the sad truth that he or she will never quite get there. English used to have colonial connotations - which is how it became #1 international language, after all - but now, even though not completely devoid of this trait, it has become quite a powerful tool. The one who speaks it better will have the upper hand in a negotiation. And that's a great motivation - learn English well and you can earn more money! Therefore, shadowing is very useful in a situation when there are no partners for practice. Thanks, Julian, for this video and thanks UA-cam for providing it to all ESL learners.
simply Fantastic
Hi everyone, I live in London and I would like to practice English with someone if ypu want just let me now in a coment.

This is actually the most helpful video I’ve seen for improving my pronunciation, thank you so much from Argentina!
Thumbs Up if you're an Asian! :P
As a native speaker, I can't really understand some of what you say because of your accent.

+MissRiss0629 I'm willing with you!
Can u help me in practicing english. Add me on watsapp.My no. is 9598001656
+MissRiss0629 that is because you are Mexican
his accent is british not amirican, which is tough to recognize xD
I actually shadow your voice as you speak and i think it really works! Thanks for that advice i'll definitely start practicing that now cos in a few days im gonna be taking my first toefl exam and im quite nervous
you explained shadowing perfectly thank you very much
why the heck did god made English hard to be learnt...??
good personality ,English is not difficult because it does not have a very hard rules like Arabic or French...😊I think you can learn it if you want 😊
EddiTV ,yes me too I'm Arabic (a native speaker ) but I don't understand many words and sentences in Arabic specially the Holly Quran is very hard to understand it because the Arabic language is very very rich in grammar and vocabulary, for example the word " lion"has more than 300 synonyms .and about Portuguese language, I have a Brazilian friend she told that it has a difficult grammar. I love learning languages , I speak 3 languages Arabic , French and English and a few of the Turkish language.
Yeahh eddiTV i'm brasilian and this is happen to me too...XD
Are you single? If u r single, chat me xixixi
That's a good tecnique! I liked it and i think it's a good idea. I'll do Shadowing
Its really helpful and more scientific and practical too no doubt. Thanks a lot for your suggession......
