Language lovers, tune in!

I hear this question, “How can I sound more like a native English speaker?” all the time, and I always give the same response. Use the shadowing technique!

Shadowing involves repeating someone's speech immediately after they say it. It's like you're following them as your shadow follows you. The beauty of this technique is that anyone can do it alone. Since most people learning a second language don't have the opportunity to speak with native speakers often, speaking it on your own is the next best thing. This method isn't only for English learning; it will work for all languages!

Tune in to the latest Express to Impress podcast episode to learn how to implement the shadowing technique. Learn about its origins and get tips to implement it effectively.  You’ll be inspired by the stories I share of people who have attained near-native English fluency and pronunciation by using this technique. By the end, you’ll be convinced the shadowing technique is an incredibly powerful English learning tool!

Express to Impress

Introducing the Shadowing Technique for English Learning

Devi avere un obiettivo linguistico specifico da raggiungere in un periodo determinato, ma l'obiettivo deve essere specifico e realizzabile.

In 6 mesi puoi cominciare a comunicare in una lingua, anche abbastanza bene, questo sì è possibile. 

Ma avere come obiettivo imparare una lingua in 6 mesi è pericoloso per la tua autostima, molto probabilmente non riuscirai a farlo e al sesto mese penserai di avere un problema, penserai di essere stupido/a.


Imparare una lingua è un po' come avere una corretta alimentazione e fare sport. 

Il consiglio di un mio amico personal trainer è valido anche per l'apprendimento linguistico: vuoi migliorare la tua situazione psico fisica per sempre e per tutta la vita? Devi fare sport per tutta la vita... 
La stessa cosa si può dire per l'apprendimento linguistico!
