Hello there! ✨ Let's do some English speaking practice with this 5-minute fluency drill. Shadowing English is a fantastic way to improve your listening, speaking, and overall English fluency.
🌟 For today's lesson, I've picked a quote from American singer Britney Spears who said, "When I was younger, I would go to restaurants with my mom."

🎓 You will practice:
✅Repeating - train your mouth muscles with fast repetition.
✅Responding - practice answering questions quickly.
✅Substituting - change words or phrases in the sentence pattern.
✅Shadowing - copy the stress and intonation I use to sound natural!
💬 After watching the video, try using the phrase in your own way. Post it in the comments! 👍
📖 Background: These fluency drills are inspired by the audio-lingual method of teaching languages. It focuses on speaking and listening, especially repetition to help you remember and use sentences automatically. The audio-lingual method was popular in the 1950s and used to quickly teach large groups of US servicemen how to speak foreign languages as they were sent to countries around the world.
💭 My favorite memory of teaching fluency skills was when I was sent to Japan Steel in Tokyo to teach a group of 100 new employees. We did two full days of speaking drills in a hall with no chairs! It was a lot of fun!
📌 Tips:
🆗 Shadow my voice at all times.
🆗 Note down any useful words or phrases.
🆗Practice copying my intonation, stress and rhythm when you speak.
