Shadow English Podcast
Welcome to the unique and engaging Shadow English Podcast! In each episode, I'll share my thoughts on various topics, which may not seem entirely original in the world of podcasts. However, the distinct feature of this podcast lies in the opportunity for listeners to shadow me line-by-line. This podcast is specifically designed for non-native English speakers looking to enhance their listening and, most importantly, speaking abilities. First, listen to the episode, then listen again and shadow me line-by-line. This is a great way to build up your speaking confidence!

Description:
Are you stuck in your language learning journey? In Episode 59 of the Shadow English Podcast, I reveal a powerful technique called Naturally Varied Input (NVI) that could change the way you learn forever. Inspired by Drew Badger from EnglishAnyone.com, this method focuses on exposing yourself to real-world language in diverse contexts—just like native speakers do. Learn how hearing new words like “frustrated” multiple times in different situations helps you internalize vocabulary and grammar naturally, without memorization. 🎧
In this episode, I explain:
• How NVI accelerates fluency through repeated, meaningful exposure
• Why this method is more effective than textbook learning
• Practical tips for students and teachers to incorporate NVI into their studies
• How tools like ChatGPT can provide rich examples to enhance your vocabulary learning
If you’re ready to stop memorizing and start acquiring language intuitively, this episode is for you!
