How to Shadow Better

Most people know about shadowing but don't really know how to do it. One trick people have been trying is choosing one person, listening to that one person a lot, then trying to immitate that person when speaking. It can be easier to think "Do I sound like that person" than it is to think "Do I sound natural". Youtube, Spotify and other streaming services have people with a lot of content you can listen to everyday for hours and hours!

English Playground
What season is this? It's spring.
Students at this time are usually pretty good about saying "it's". Remembering the seasons is a bit difficult, so it is okay if they can't do it perfectly.

Head Start
What do you want to buy? I want to buy a jacket.
This is a really fun lesson as most students are quite interested in shopping. Practice saying toys and other things your child wants to buy.

English Spotlight
There is one pitcher of water. There are three pitchers of water.
It is tricky to know exactly when to say "is" and when to say "are" as well as remembering to add the "s" to words.

The Affective Filter

Have you ever been speaking English and felt nervous? Are you worried you will make a mistake? It may be that worrying while learning a language only makes learning the language harder. When we are having fun, we pick up language quickly, but when we worry, our minds put up what is called the "affective filter" and prevents us from picking up language. To learn language faster, practice relaxing and having fun, especially if you are the kind of person who worries alot.

Write Out Your Goals, Even the Fun Ones

It is important to spend your free time as much as possible using English, and of course the best way to do that is to read books, watch movies, and even play games as much as you can in English. Sometimes, even though we are trying to have fun in English, we loose track of what we want to do. Try making a list of all the books, movies,  and games you want to get through and check them off as you go! You will see how much progress you are making.

English Playground
How much more milk do you need? I need a little more.
This is hard for kids at this age but something fun to use around the house would be "a little more". You can even have your kids say "I want a little more".

Head Start
I may be wrong but are you Japanese? Yes, I am. No, I'm not.
Practice saying different nationalities like "Canadian" or "Chinese". Lot's of kids are also interested in studying the names of countries with flags.

English Spotlight
Look at him/her! Oh, he/she must be jet lagged. Please be quiet.
The "please" phrase is great to use around the house, especially when you want to tell your kids to "be quiet". Have them use it to tell you to do things as well like "Please open this".

English Playground
Let's play hide and seek. Alright.
The phrase "lets" is really fun for all students to say and is very versatile. At home, practice saying "lets" in lots of situations like "lets go to the park".

Head Start
Can we play baseball now? Let's finsih cleaning our rooms first.
The phrase "let's finsih" is easy to understand and good to use around the house for things that you need to do. Try using it before you let your kids play video games or watch TV.

English Spotlight
What should we buy for him/her? Let's buy him/her a blueberry smoothie.
This is obviously good to use at restaurants. Let your child choose what other people in the family will eat. Be careful not to get him/her confused!
