Hello everyone. Welcome back to English
Fluency Teacher. I'm so excited to have
you here for another amazing shadowing
practice session. If you're new here,
welcome. Let me explain what shadowing
is and why it's one of the most powerful
techniques for learning English.
Shadowing means you listen to a sentence
and immediately repeat it out loud,
copying the pronunciation, rhythm, and
tone exactly as you hear it. You become
like the speaker's shadow or echo. What
makes shadowing so effective? The
benefits are truly incredible. It
perfects your pronunciation and accent,
makes you speak more fluently without
hesitation, dramatically improves your
listening comprehension, helps you
remember vocabulary and grammar
naturally, builds your speaking
confidence in any situation, and trains
your brain to think directly in English
without translating.
When you practice shadowing
consistently, English stops feeling
foreign and starts feeling natural.
Today we're continuing with everyday
conversational English. These are not
sentences for one specific situation.
Instead, these are natural, common
phrases that English speakers use every
single day in all kinds of conversations.
conversations.
You'll hear these expressions at work,
with friends, at home, while shopping,
and everywhere else. What's special
about this video is that we're using
different sentence structures. Not just
I sentences, but also you, he, she, we,
they, and other patterns.
This variety will help you speak more
naturally and understand others better.
I will say each sentence two times and
then you'll have time to repeat after
me. The most important thing is to speak
out loud. Don't be shy. Your mouth needs
to practice forming these sounds. That's
how you build real speaking ability. Are
you ready to master everyday English?

Excellent work everyone. You just
completed the sentences of everyday
conversational English shadowing
practice. That's absolutely incredible.
Give yourself a huge pat on the back.
These sentences represent the kind of
English you'll hear and use in your
daily life constantly. From talking
about other people, making observations,
giving compliments to discussing
everyday situations, you now have a wide
variety of natural expressions. Notice
how we use different pronouns and
sentence structures. This variety helps
you understand and participate in all
kinds of conversations, not just talk
about yourself. Remember, the key to
fluency is consistent daily practice.
Even if you practice for just 10 to 15
minutes every day, you'll see amazing
progress over time. The sentences you're
repeating today are building pathways in
your brain that make English feel
automatic and natural. You're not just
learning, you're transforming how you
think and speak. If this video helped
