💚ABOUT ME
Hi :) I'm Pearly! I've spent the majority of my adulthood (6 years)📚studying in law + working in the legal industry only to realize that both life as a lawyer and as a corporate worker are not for me. I decided to take the path less traveled by - to start my own business as a content creator on youtube!

[@abdulrahmansalih-zu8jh]

your Arabic accent is really great

[@pearlywong]

woww thank you! so happy to hear that^^

[@iago_sc]

What I usually do in my shadowing practice is to watch a tv series and then use some parts to practice. It is amazing how you can improve the pronunciation and memorize those words at the same time.

[@pearlywong]

Totally!! That's why I love this method^^

[@gemauwu405]

omg, I was watiching this video, cause I finished to watch your video about "Why I do understand English but cannot speak it?", I'm so happy to find this and do it to improve my english

[@brekkoh]

there is almost an overwhelming number of ways to improve these days I had kinda totally forgotten about shadowing and how helpful it can be, when i am in a country that speaks that language or around people I actually subconciously do this in my head, thanks for the pointers on how to apply this actively with effective resources!

[@seanwoltman5898]

I live in the USA. Back in the 1980s I practiced an immersion-type method using the technology of that era. My aunt in Ireland used to send me cassette tapes of programs recorded from the Irish Language (Gaelic) radio service. News, weather reports, interviews, music, etc. I would listen to these tapes over and over (mostly in the car) to get a sense of the sounds and rhythms of the language. You are so right about entering into the soul of a language this way. Yes--it works! (Your ability to relax, not worry, have fun, and enjoy language learning is great! Love your YT channel!)

[@hadillouis1683]

[@grantburrows1188]

Hi Pearly, that was an absolutely brilliant video! You are becoming a natural. As someone who has followed you right from the beginning, I can see how you have progressed. Plus it was so useful to see you shadowing! Wow! Thank you so much! I always wondered how you got such good pronunciation in so many languages! (Oh, though I must point this out and don’t worry as even a lot of English people get this word wrong, it’s not ‘pronOUnciation’ it is said how it is spelt: ‘’pronUnciation’). I love your videos Pearly! Keep them coming. You are getting more and more fabulous! xxx

[@pearlywong]

hahaha yes I always pronounce pronunciation wrong🤣thanks for pointing it out! and thank you for the support all along the way! always leaving me super supportive messages^^

[@mr.chicken9085]

Cuz i does mean a accent rule though,I never think so much abou ti now that's worldwide extent 😂😂

You're so welcome!

[@philipdavis7521]

This is great, shadowing is a very powerful tool, and very underestimated. Do you try chorusing too? I find it very good and the research I’ve seen indicates it may be even better, but you have to do a lot of repetition.

[@pearlywong]

It's definitely and underestimated method! I've never tried chorusing before~

[@alanvitorcostadeoliveira2923]

Finally \o/

[@pearlywong]

yayy

[@Lliam200]

I’m Arab and I like your pronunciation in Arabic ❤❤

[@ritishabalwanti2573]

I am between an elementary- and intermediate-level Korean learner, but I am not good at listening and repeating. So what do you suggest? As a beginner in shadowing practice, should I start with a beginner-level videos?

[@_martapfrn]

To learn Arabic, watch the cartoon in Arabic like (كونان ،كوزيت،انا واخي), I am Moroccan and I learned classical Arabic well, and btw the video that u watched is for the Egyptian dialect and far from the Arabic language , I love u💕

Hi Pearly I have a question Can I same time learning 3 languages? now learning Spanish with English I I also want to learn Japanese

[@amelsan2]

In my humble opinion, I recommend you to learn 1 or 2 at most, one is better though, because you have to focus on one thing, is much better then learn different things like languages and get confused, maybe after that you can't even master or speak all of them and that will make disappointed, honestly this is my opinion if you can do that it's up to you bro
