Some people are only aware of using listening-and-repeating for pronunciation improvement. I use it mostly to learn grammar and vocabulary, as a form of comprehensible input that also provides speaking practice. For the creative aspect, I talk to myself until that skill becomes fairly easy and then I practice conversation with native speakers. Listening-and-repeating makes words, phrases, and grammatical structures readily available for me when I talk. But I have to keep at it every day for a few weeks before I start seeing these results.
I just LOVE your accent . Since i found your channel , i have changed my mind from wanting to practice american accent and pronunciation to british one .The british accent is so much more fun .
Shadowing, in language learning, is a method to *acquire* a language (when paired with Assimil or a similar course). Look up Dr. Alexander Arguelles recent vides on UA-cam on how to get to B2 with 15 minutes a day of learning. Accidentally, shadowing improves one's prosody, but not necessarily the accent (based on the studies I saw). They say chorusing is better for the accent (but I kinda think listen-and-repeat may work just as well)
I practice Shadowing since you uploaded that video teaching this technique, in 2013. It is completely useful and it works! I wish you could read my comment, Julian, thanks for your videos. Cheers from Santiago de Chile!
I feel repeating is a bit more difficult than shadowing in my case. Maybe it is because I'm usually trying to repeat a quite long sentence composed with more than 15 words.
Hi professor Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting. I really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity.
@@ahmedtheegyptian8297 Start by combining words from different sentences to make your own sentences. When you have a vocabulary of a few hundred words, start talking to yourself (thinking aloud) in English with the help of a dictionary. When that becomes fairly easy, speak English with other people. Speak English a lot. This is how I learn languages. It works well for me.
The fact about shadowing technique. I've been using the shadowing technique since 1989, and no one told me about it. I just started intuitively doing it myself. it didn't developed by the American Professor Mr. Alexander Arguelles, as he says. If you delve deeper into the history of religion, you can find reliable facts and evidence that accurately confirm that both the bilingual translation method and the shadowing technique were used more than 1500 years ago
I have a question I hope you answer it 🤔 what if I shadow the speaker at the same time he speaks with whispering after him is it helpful to be a fluent ?
@@richumathew2020 I don't know about shadowing, but listening-and-repeating is a great tool for learning grammar and vocabulary in preparation for conversation. It needs to be followed up with actual speaking practice, though.
Very good and need full instruction about shadowing English practice...The same I am trying to do the English practice....appreciate you...Francis Patross.Mumbai, India...
Isn't shadowing similar to singing along with a song. And pretty much like a song, when you get it, it stays. Though it might be a little bit more difficult but I presume just as effective for parroting out spoken words.
I have some question for shadowing method. First, How can I listen at the same time I speak? Then, With some new words that I don't know how to pronouce, how can I shadow if i haven't hear them in advanced. And the last, how i know the rhythem of the soeaker, when he pauses? Thank you.
Hey Julian. I'm learning Japanese, and I'm currently interested in the shadow method. In the video you mentioned you did shadowing in Japanese. I just wondered what resources you used for that? I have tried a book called shadowing Japanese, but I wondered if there were any others you could point me in the direction of. Thanks
Julian, six years ago you use to be so stiff in front of the camera. Now you own the camera. I also think you accent changed a bit. In the video there was twang in your accent, now I don't hear a thing.
Can I just say thank god I found someone who speaks like me I thought I was the only person who pronounced the actual word instead of dropping about sixty letters
You want to listen to the text two or three times before starting to shadow . You listen to the audio/text , understand what the person means and then start shadowing . You dont want to shadow without understanding the meaning .
There should also be a delay so that you can listen to what the person is saying. Even if you know the text I still think there should be a delay so that way you not saying the phrases, text or sentences from memory using what you think his/her intonation sounds like.
I hope your next class with examples of Shadows methods . i think that is a method complicated sometimes because you cannot control what the person say
@@ahmedtheegyptian8297 the best way to speak English is to be around people who's speaking English. You're studing English, pratice shadowing, listen/repeat while you're around English people will help you a lot.
It depends of the material that you've picked for it. Cause if you choose between British or American accent material, surely you'll develop accent and entonation from this. You got it? I hope so... Tks dear.

every day 15 minutes
Shadowing won't help you..Shadowing is only meant for pronunciation..
Hi Eva , We must practice together to improve our english , would you like ?

What is the important ?
To give So much speaking or a few good ideas about the subject ?
How to build the creative side of fluency then?
that was so helpful! Thank you.
Best teacher
Shadowing the good place is not bad?
Can I just say thank god I found someone who speaks like me I thought I was the only person who pronounced the actual word instead of dropping about sixty letters
I speak with the voices in my head all the time
Love all your videos. Keep on your track!

i understand repeating, but how one can shadow when someone speaking at the same time cuz you dont know what someone gonna say.

Buy a book and the audio version and read along.
@@silentj624 Reading along and shadowing are totally different. I have experienced quite a lot.
thank you
shadowing knowhow
I hope your next class with examples of Shadows methods . i think that is a method complicated sometimes because you cannot control what the person say
I actually saved your 2011 vid of shadowing. But luckily you have mentioned that.
A good lesson
if you heated it , bash the thumbs down button. so funny you ended it. Big Like
Desde ECUADOR 🤔
Can watching documentary films help to learn in english and can make english fluent
Shadowing hinders my listening to the speaks carefully.....
But sometimes i'm just so familiar with the texts that i totally ignore the recording. does that defeat the purpose?
You got everything in description area ... almost
So what? That's actually quite convenient.
thanks for mentioning that!.. i'd overlooked that part.
This man manages to be so slow at times even at 2x playback speed.
I was shadowing with this video lol
Good
Hello Julian,
Is shadowing going to change my accent or is it just going to improve pronunciation?

@@ahmedtheegyptian8297 listen a lot and read and speak

yes
No shadowing you try to repeat at the same time and repeating you speak after listening the speaker
.
Thanks. .
Gah! 'Posh punk' !? Please man.
'th' rules, 'f'/'v' in it's place drools.
Good video. But... you mispronounced "pronunciation".
@Jerome Lee No. It is pronounced "pro-NUN-ciation", ,not "pro-NOUNCE-iation".
you are so cute
