IMITATION technique – SHADOWING in Russian – Lesson 1

Speaking a foreign language is like a performance! It’s not just about grammar, it’s about feelings, emotions, and expressions. Not only WHAT you say matters but also HOW you say it. That is why the Imitation technique (aka ‘shadowing’) is so effective!

Imitating a Russian native speaker improves your pronunciation and expression faster than any other speaking practice.

How does it work? Each lesson consists of 3 steps:

1. Watch the video and read the text. You just need to understand what I am talking about. Look up some words in a dictionary if you need to. Watch as many times as you need.

2. Here you have pauses after each sentence. You need to copy me 100%: words, stress, pauses, intonation, facial expressions, and gestures.

3. This is the most challenging part – you try to speak WITH me. It might not work the first time – just try again and again.
By copying a native speaker, you are teaching yourself to communicate in the most natural way!

TEXT:

Зна́ешь, что сейча́с случи́лось? Я про́сто в бе́шенстве. Я выхожу́ на парко́вку, подхожу́ к свое́й маши́не и ви́жу там зна́ешь, что? Огро́мную вмя́тину. Како́й-то козёл сту́кнул мою́ маши́ну и уе́хал. Он про́сто уе́хал! Не оста́вил ни телефо́н, ничего́… Как так?! Как э́то возмо́жно? Я не зна́ю, что мне тепе́рь де́лать. Как ты ду́маешь?

TRANSLATION:

Do you know what happened? I’m just furious. I’m walking out to the parking, approaching my car and you know what I see there? A giant dent. Some jerk hit my car and left. He just left! Didn’t leave either a phone number… nothing. How?! How can this be? I don’t know what to do now. What do you think?
