I don't want any of that.
8
Get out of here.

I didn't learn Spanish by watching boring robotic teachers.
10
Okay.

I just word vomit.
14
It's a real expression.
15
Okay.
16
I didn't make that up.
17
Word vomit all over the video and you just soak it up
18

19
You're doing the damn thing and you're doing a good job at it.
20
So keep doing it.
21
We're back with another installment of what did my aunt tell me in a WhatsApp message that was 24 minutes long.
22
If you haven't seen the first part, what are you doing?
23
Watch my videos.
24
What the hell, man?
25
Go back and watch my videos.
26
It was like two videos ago.
27
Come on, catch up.
28
Mustard.
29
That was a joke.
30
This is the part two of that video.
31
So basically what I did is I took clips of my aunt's audio message to share with you.
32
And then we're going to go through it.
33
We're gonna break it down gonna break it down gonna talk about it we're gonna analyze it
34
and you're gonna learn stuff all right sound good hell yeah let's go
35
this is the first clip she's just talking to me about
36
different family members she's just giving me the updates about what's
37
going on in the family for context for context enjoy john is good nothing new really
38
or different with his work he still wonders about
39
when to retire on a daily basis
40
it's like you know those decisions like it's it's a tough
41
one to make though um like to be financially feeling financially secure
42
but also knowing that you can't buy back time so like
43
if you can do it do it and enjoy your life
44
and i don't know he'll he'll figure it out
45
but um natalie is good she's has the flexibility to be remote at times
46
but she's supposed to be in the office a certain percentage of the time she seems to be remote more than not. But she's an adult.
47
We're trying to stay out of it.
48
God, that's freaking hard.
49
But anyway, so otherwise she's fine.
50
Ty was just here for a night.
51
He's back at school and trying to finish up.
52
He has credits to graduate early, so he's going to graduate in december and then head to dc
53
and hopefully work on capitol hill for a bit um i know his long -term plan is law school
54
so i don't know if
55
but most i think most most people don't go directly to law school they do some type of experiential work
56
that helps to make them a better candidate for law school
57
i don't know anyway he's gonna he's hoping to work on capitol hill for a
58
while all right welcome back how was
59
that on a scale of one to ten tell me in the comments how easy
60
or difficult 10 being the most difficult wait 10 yeah 10
61
being the most difficult one being the easiest how was the
62
first audio clip for you what i'm trying to show you is
63
that it's pretty simple i mean the way
64
that my aunt talks i mean standard american english
65
when we're just relaxed and we're half asleep in bed and what even when we're not half asleep we're just relaxed.
66
We're just chilling.
67
We're just low anxiety, just living life, talking about stuff for a while.
68
It's not that hard.
69
You know, it's pretty simple.
70
It's pretty basic.
71
It's pretty easy to follow.
72
And remember, I made these clips so much faster than they really were.
73
I cut out a lot of silence.
74
So in real life, she was actually speaking a lot slower.
75
Okay.
76
So let's analyze it.
77
All right.
78
John is good.
79
She's talking about her husband, my uncle, John.
80
John is good.
81
Nothing and really new or different with his work.
82
He still wonders about when to retire on a daily basis.
83
This is a common phrase on a daily basis, on a daily basis.
84
It's like, you know, regularly daily.
85
It's like saying daily on a daily basis, daily, like basically every day.
86
He wonders about this.
87
He thinks about this, like, huh, I wonder when I should retire.
88
I'm thinking about when I should retire.
89
He thinks about that like every day on a daily basis.
90
It's like, you know, one of those decisions like it's a tough one to make though like it's a tough decision
91
it's a hard decision it's a tough one it's a tough one
92
it's a tough decision to make be careful with
93
that a lot of students say take a decision
94
because they're translating from their native language looking at you spanish speakers
95
it's not take it's make in english we say make a decision make
96
it you need to like create it not take it create it like make it make the decision happen make it happen
97
It's a tough decision to make when to retire.
98
Yeah, like to be financially, feeling financially secure.
99
My aunt and uncle are quite privileged.
100
A lot of people don't even really even have the opportunity to retire because they don't have that financial security.
101
So some people have to pretty much work until they die.
102
And that's the unfortunate reality of the world.
103
And it sucks and it's stupid.
104
Yes, my aunt and uncle fortunately don't have to because of the position they're in.
105
But they are people who are very concerned with financial security.
106
And even though they could retire now and they'd be fine, they are used to or hoping for a certain standard of living.
107
And they want to make sure that it's comfortable enough for them.
108
You know, they're the type of people that they could have a lot of money, but they feel like it's not enough.
109
You know, like I don't feel totally comfortable.
110
It's kind of like never enough, you know, in the human mind.
111
But so she's just talking about how John is thinking about how he wants to feel financially secure,
112
but also keeping in mind the fact that you can't buy back time.
113
All of these years that you're working, yeah, you want to be financially secure, but also you're not getting any younger.
114
Money can buy a lot of things, a lot of things, but you can't buy back time.
115
You can't buy your time to get it back.
116
That's what it means, buy back time.
117
It's like to buy your time to get it back.
118
Can't buy it back.
119
Buy it back.
120
You can't buy time.
121
I mean, once it's gone, it's gone.
122
So that's an important thing to consider.
123
This is more how I think.
124
This is why I don't do a lot of work.
125
A lot of people see me, oh, you're a YouTuber.
126
Oh, you're influencer.
127
Oh, you're a content creator.
128
Oh, you must do a lot of work.
129
I don't.
130
Honestly, I don't.
131
I do the minimum.
132
That's why you see there's not a lot of complex editing in my videos.
133
There's not a lot going on.
134
I do the bare minimum
135
that I need to for my job to work for it to happen so I can make money.
136
But I really do not do that much intentionally because I don't like to work, which is normal.
137
Most people don't, but I have such a strong aversion to work and I would rather make less money.
138
I'd rather have more free time than work.
139
My aunt and uncle are not really those kind of people.
140
They would rather work than have less money.
141
And I don't even know what they're going to do when they retire and have all this free time.
142
Honestly, I don't even know what they're going to do anyway.
143
So that's, that's what she's talking about here.
144
So like, if you can do it, do it and enjoy your life.
145
And I don't know, he'll figure it out.
146
He'll figure it out when, when he's thinking about when he's going to retire, he doesn't know he'll figure it out.
147
He'll figure it out.
148
Don't worry about it.
149
Um, Natalie is good.
150
So talking about her daughter, Natalie, my cousin, Natalie, she has the flexibility to be remote at times
151
so with her job you know
152
she has the flexibility with her job to be to be remote to work remotely at times
153
but she's supposed to be in the office a certain percentage of the time
154
she seems to be remote more than not she seems to be remote more than not
155
and my aunt said this in a kind of way like she seems like she's mostly working remotely
156
and I think maybe she's supposed to work more in the office, but she's not going and doing it.
157
My aunt doesn't know what's going on with that.
158
She's a little suspicious.
159
She's a little suspicious of Natalie, but I am like, Natalie, hell yeah.
160
You work remote is just as much as you can get away with.
161
Who wants to go into the office?
162
The office, it's like, it's even, it's in a different city.
163
Like it's in a different town.
164
Like she's got to drive there.
165
She's got to get all, you know, dressed for the day.
166
She's got drive there, like just stay at home.
167
So, but she's an adult.
168
So this is my aunt kind of grappling with the idea, kind of like accepting the fact that now Natalie is an adult.
169
And even though most of her life, she was a child and, you know, as her mother, my aunt Angela kind of,
170
you know, it was her job to be like, you know, making sure she's doing the right thing.
171
But now that Natalie is an adult, she's a young adult.
172
She's only, she just graduated college.
173
She's only like 22 my aunt has to accept that
174
and give her space and like accept
175
that like she's gonna do what she's gonna do
176
and it's not really your place anymore to like tell her
177
what to do like this is on her now you know she's an adult
178
so we're trying to stay out of it we're trying to stay out of it trying not to get involved
179
but god that's freaking hard god
180
that's freaking hard uh freaking is just like a nice way of saying fucking oh that's fucking hard
181
but you know freaking is like the um you know more uh friendly version not not vanity you know
182
but god that's freaking hard so Angela's just saying you know she's an adult now
183
and so I gotta stay out of it
184
but god that's hard you know she wants to get involved
185
and be like Natalie you gotta go to the office um but anyway way
186
So otherwise, she's fine.
187
So otherwise, you know, in general, regardless, despite all that, whatever, she's fine.
188
Ty was just here for a night.
189
So Ty is Natalie's boyfriend.
190
Ty was just here for a night.
191
He's back at school and trying to finish up.
192
He has credits to graduate early.
193
So he's going to graduate in December.
194
So you get credits for the classes that you take in college, in university.
195
He has enough credits to graduate early.
196
So he's going to graduate in December instead of like May or whenever the year ends.
197
So he's going to graduate after this semester and then head to D .C.
198
I think his family lives in D .C and in the capital of the country.
199
I think that's why and hopefully work on Capitol Hill for a bit.
200
So Capitol Hill is like a government.
201
No, what is it?
202
It's a neighborhood.
203
It's a neighborhood, I think, that has some governmental buildings in it.
204
I don't know.
205
I really don't know.
206
And I don't care.
207
But yeah, it's just some prominent neighborhood in D .C.
208
It's a famous neighborhood in D .C.
209
that I don't really know about.
210
But yeah, so he's going to hopefully work there.
211
I don't know.
212
I guess he has family there.
213
I don't know how he's going to work there.
214
I really don't know anything about Ty.
215
I've never even met him.
216
I don't live in the United States and I come back to visit very rarely and I've never met Ty.
217
So I don't really know about this, but I think he maybe has some connections there.
218
I know his long -term plan is law school.
219
Okay, his long -term plan is law school.
220
He wants to be a lawyer, I guess.
221
So I don't know if, and then she trails off.
222
She trails off.
223
It's like she starts talking and then she stops talking and then she starts a new thing.
224
And then, you know, but most, I think most, most people don't, you know, she's trying to find the words.
225
Most, I think most, most people don't go directly to law school.
226
They do some type of experiential work.
227
Experiential, I guess.
228
Yeah.
229
I'm a little confused because there's also the word experimental, but this is different.
230
Experiential work.
231
Yeah.
232
I don't know.
233
I've never used this word in my life, but you know, just to gain more experience, work to gain experience.
234
They do some kind of experiential work that helps to make them a better candidate for law school, you know, to apply.
235
So if you if you get some work experience before you apply to law school, you're more likely to get accepted.
236
I don't know.
237
Anyway, he's gonna he's hoping to work on Capitol Hill for a while.
238
Yeah, I don't really know why it's work on Capitol Hill and not in if it's a neighborhood.
239
I don't really know.
240
I don't really understand this part, like because i don't know about this place um
241
but it doesn't matter you know native speakers we don't understand like everything
242
because we don't always know what people are talking about you know what i mean
243
but that's okay it's normal
244
but it doesn't matter it's like i get the general idea
245
it's gonna go work in dc whatever yeah
246
i guess he's gonna have a bit of a long distance relationship with natalie my cousin
247
i guess she goes to visit him a bunch and she can work remotely most of the time remember
248
So I guess they're going to make it work.
249
But yeah, so that was the first audio message.
250
And let's listen now to the second one.
251
Let's see.
252
That's Natalie.
253
Lindsay.
254
Lindsay is okay right now.
255
She's been struggling big time with just a bunch of things.
256
Her anxiety levels are kind of ramped up right now.
257
I think it's just the whole thing about, I may have already told you this sorry if I have
258
but I think just um just that realization
259
that at the moment like this is her life right now
260
that she's working Monday through Friday she's working long days
261
you know there's no long
262
there's no like end to the internship at the end of
263
the summer where she goes back to school to see friends
264
and have a looser schedule and blah blah blah I think that coming to grips with Her reality has been a challenge,
265
but then you kind of superimpose her anxiety issues on that.
266
And she's been struggling a bit, but she'll get there.
267
And I told her, you know, sometimes working like this is a means to an end, though.
268
Like, you need to get some experience, you need to earn some money,
269
you need to be able to fund things that you want to be able to do.
270
And maybe that means I think she'd like to own her own business one day.
271
I don't know what that would be or whatever, but you need to walk before you run.
272
So this doesn't mean that this is the job you're going to be in for the rest of your life.
273
Life is too short to hate what you're doing.
274
I don't know if she hates it.
275
I don't think that's the issue so much as
276
just grasping the reality of I got to get up every morning and go to work.
277
All right.
278
So this one is all about my other cousin, Lindsay.
279
So Angela, my aunt Angela has twin daughters, Natalie and Lindsay.
280
So this is about the other twin, Lindsay, who has a different life.
281
Let's see.
282
That's Natalie.
283
Lindsay, Lindsay is okay right now.
284
So okay is like, it's not really good.
285
It's not really bad.
286
It's like, eh, she's okay.
287
She's all right.
288
She's okay.
289
But eh, you know, in the middle.
290
She's been struggling big time.
291
This is a great expression.
292
This is great.
293
I love that she said this.
294
This reminds me of my family.
295
This reminds me of my grandma.
296
My mom big time is like a lot.
297
It's just, it's just a way of saying a lot.
298
And it's something that I heard mostly from my fam, my mother's family.
299
I don't know how common it is in the United States.
300
Like there must be a lot of people that say it somewhere.
301
I really don't know how common it is because it's something
302
that I've rarely heard in movies and shows and YouTube videos and social media.
303
Like I've rarely heard this outside of my mom's family, but I know they, they didn't make it up.
304
So it must exist.
305
But anyway, big time, it just, it's just a way of saying a lot.
306
So she's been struggling big time.
307
She's been struggling a lot, a lot.
308
If you don't know the word struggle, you need to know this verb.
309
It's like to, it's hard to explain, but it's like to be going through a hard time, to be having a hard time with something.
310
Like, oh, I'm struggling with life.
311
I'm having a hard time doing stuff, doing everything that I want to do.
312
There's a lot, you know, weighing me down.
313
There's a lot going on.
314
I'm overwhelmed or whatever.
315
Struggling.
316
But you could use it in any case, basically, when you would use having a hard time.
317
That's also another expression, to have a hard time with something.
318
So many students, because they're translating from Spanish or Portuguese, they go, I'm having difficulty.
319
Or sometimes they even say it wrong and they say, I'm having difficult.
320
And I have to explain to them that having difficulty with something like it exists, but it's not as common as other phrases,
321
but it's definitely wrong to say have difficult.
322
So many Brazilians say that I'm having, I have difficult.
323
Difficult is not difficulty.
324
There's separate words.
325
You got to learn the difference there.
326
But anyways, it's much more common to say that I'm having a hard time with something.
327
Something is hard for me.
328
Something is difficult for me.
329
I'm having a hard time.
330
I'm struggling.
331
That's way more common.
332
So she's been struggling big time with just a bunch of things.
333
So just a lot, a lot of things, a bunch of things.
334
Her anxiety levels are kind of ramped up right now, ramped up.
335
So you see how, even if you don't understand ramped up, you can kind of get it based on the context.
336
Like you can kind of understand the point
337
there her anxiety levels are kind of ramped up ramped up right
338
now I think it's just the whole thing about
339
and I may have already told you this may have already told you this says
340
I might have I might have already told you this I
341
may have I may have already told you this sorry
342
if I have but I think just um just the realization
343
that at the moment like this is her life right now
344
that she's working Monday through Friday she's working long days you know there's no long, there's no like end to the internship,
345
internship, sorry, in the internship at the end of the summer.
346
So the job that she has right now, she had an internship for a couple years, I think, or at least one year,
347
I don't know where she worked.
348
I don't know if it was the same job, but it was like the same building, same kind of work environment thing.
349
She had that as like a summer internship when she was in college.
350
So between her semesters in college, like on summer break, she had this internship and it was okay because it was short term.
351
And she knew at the end of the summer, she'd go back to school.
352
The internship would end and she'd go back to college and her life would go back to the way it was.
353
But now she accepted this job and there is no more college.
354
She already graduated.
355
So there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
356
There's no end to the internship there's no end to the summer well there's an end to the summer
357
but not to the job at the end of the summer
358
so this is just gonna it's just gonna keep going it's it's not ending
359
so she's coming to the realization
360
that oh I'm an adult now I have a I have an adult job
361
I work all year Monday through Friday all day long
362
it's not gonna end holy shit I had this realization even before I graduated college
363
which is why I didn't graduate and I basically ran away
364
and I I went to go live in the Amazon because I was like, I could see this.
365
I foresaw this.
366
I predicted my life being like this, just getting some job and then just being like, oh my God, this is my life now.
367
And just working in an office and just every day forever.
368
And it's not necessarily forever.
369
You can always change jobs or whatever.
370
But it's just kind of this realization that, yep, this is like...
371
my adult life now and there's no there's no end to it
372
because when you're a kid it's always like okay there's the end to the school year
373
and then you go to the next level and the next level
374
and you're always looking forward to graduation and then you go to college
375
and you're looking forward to graduation and there's you know
376
and there's also much more of a social life
377
when you're in school you have this constant social life you know you're all with your friends
378
and whatever you're with a bunch of people your age
379
and stuff and it feels like i don't know we're in this group together.
380
But then when you have an adult job
381
and you're all on your own and you're just kind of doing the independent adult thing, it's like a big shock.
382
It's like a big lifestyle shock compared to what you had before.
383
And so that's what Lindsay is dealing with right now.
384
And that's a perfectly normal thing that a lot of people deal with.
385
And some people, they look deeper into that and they realize like, you know what, this is like not how I want to live my life.
386
This is not how life is meant to be lived and they go do something totally different and crazy like I did.
387
Some people just kind of suck it up and just just do it.
388
You know, they do what they need to do to just cope with it.
389
And they're just like, this is life.
390
Some people just really don't have a choice.
391
I mean, they just feel like I what else am I going to do?
392
I have no options.
393
You know, I got to make money.
394
My situation is difficult.
395
Situation is difficult in my country or whatever.
396
Like people deal with this feeling in different ways.
397
But I think a lot of people go through this just like,
398
fuck this is what i'm going to be slaving away at for the next multiple decades several decades like yikes
399
and basically what i responded to her with what i told
400
angela in my response in my message to her was like i totally get
401
this feeling i totally understand exactly like what she's going through
402
and i think a lot of people do too and yeah there's a big problem with human society in the,
403
you know, the system, the way that jobs are, the work -life balance is horrible.
404
The balance between like personal life and work is just, it's all out of whack.
405
But in general, human beings, I firmly believe that, you know, human beings, obviously we have to do a certain level of work.
406
I mean, if we all grew our own food on farms and we would have to do work,
407
but it's not supposed to be so monotonous and so constant and so much really,
408
you know, and I've lived on a farm and I've grown food and I know what that's like.
409
And I still believe this.
410
I still believe that the nine to five Monday through Friday sitting in an office, it's not like, you know, we have to work.
411
We have to do something.
412
We can't just like do absolutely nothing to, you know survive on this planet but it definitely doesn't have to be
413
so soul killing as it is the way the system is the way a lot of jobs are nowadays
414
it does not have to be
415
that soul killing it could be a million times better
416
and we could still get everything done
417
that we need to get done we could still have comfortable lives
418
but it would basically take a lot of restructuring of society.
419
And then also just just basic like workers rights that are not even basically in existence in the United States.
420
But anyways, this is a complex topic.
421
This is a lot.
422
But I'm getting into like I'm taking this to a deeper place right now.
423
But what I'm trying to say is just that it's not that people waking up to this don't want to work.
424
It's not even that we don't want to work hard.
425
It's just that so many jobs that we have now are just so like anti -human.
426
It's like they were designed for machines, basically, not for human beings.
427
And the same thing with the school system.
428
And anyways, that's a whole rabbit hole.
429
I didn't know I was going to go down, but I mean, I didn't even really go down it.
430
I just kind of talked about it in a very brief way.
431
But anyways, these are kind of the thoughts that come up when I think about this stuff.
432
So continuing with what my aunt was saying, there's no end to the internship at the end of the
433
summer where she goes back to school to see friends
434
and have a looser schedule yeah that's the thing that's what I love about my job is
435
that I create my schedule and the same thing
436
when I lived on a farm is that I could choose
437
when I wanted to do farm work
438
and that's that's one of one of the things
439
that I'm talking about when I say like these jobs are
440
so anti -human nowadays it's
441
because well not just nowadays I mean it's been like this for a
442
while but I think human beings when we can kind of choose
443
when we want to do the work
444
or we can kind of have more flexibility or it's not always the same every day.
445
Like we can kind of switch it up.
446
We can change it up.
447
I feel like that's much more of a human way to approach work, you know, than the nine to five Monday through Friday,
448
you know, it's like, that's so robotic.
449
So that's one of the reasons, you know, she preferred to be in college because the schedule is looser.
450
The classes are more like at random times.
451
You have big breaks in between it's just
452
Yeah, college is a nice, relaxed, looser schedule, but you're still being productive.
453
Like you're still getting work done.
454
You're still learning things, studying, whatever, but in a better schedule.
455
You know what I mean?
456
And it's just more interesting because you got classes about different topics and stuff.
457
I'm sure her current job is not that interesting compared to that.
458
It's probably about the same thing like all the time, basically.
459
And my aunt says to see friends and have a looser schedule and blah, blah, blah.
460
I think that coming to grips with her reality, coming to grips, like realizing it, facing it, confronting it, it's been a challenge.
461
But then you kind of superimpose her anxiety issues.
462
OK, so it doesn't matter if you don't know superimpose, but you can kind of understand based on the context that,
463
OK, so she's struggling with coming to grips with the reality of her work life.
464
And then you superimpose her anxiety level.
465
So you put that on top of it or you add that to the mix and then, you know, that's a lot.
466
It's a lot.
467
Anxiety plus to come into grips with reality.
468
She's been struggling a bit, but she'll get there.
469
Angela says she'll get there.
470
She'll be all right.
471
She'll get used to it or she'll figure it out or whatever.
472
And I told her, you know, sometimes working like this is a means to an end.
473
So this is an expression that my aunt loves.
474
My aunt always uses this expression.
475
It's a means to an end.
476
It's like a way to get to the end when Lindsay didn't like school and when I didn't like school,
477
she said, oh, it's a means to an end.
478
She told me this when I told her I'm going to drop out of college
479
when I was in college and I said, I'm going to leave.
480
I'm not going to graduate.
481
She said, well, it's a means to an end.
482
And now she's telling Lindsay this with her job.
483
It's a means to an end.
484
In this case, I don't think Angela means it's a means to an end, like it's a means to retirement and dying.
485
I don't think she means like it's a it's a way to get to retirement
486
I think she means well she's going to explain it
487
but it's just like a way to get some experience basically
488
but I don't always agree with Angela using
489
this like I I don't really agree with like yes
490
you you kind of have to try things out first to give it a chance try
491
it out maybe get some experience you know figure out everything is a learning experience in life
492
but if you if you always stay in things
493
that you don't like by thinking like oh
494
it's just a means to an end it's just like it's just a way to get to the next point
495
so stick it out
496
so stay with it i don't think that's really a good mentality to have i think
497
if something in you is telling
498
you to get the hell out of there i think
499
you should you know what i mean like i think
500
there's a reason why i guess it all depends on the situation you know
501
but yeah she says you need to get some experience
502
you need to earn some money it's true you need to be able to fund things
503
that you want to be able to do.
504
So fund, like pay for, need to be able to pay for things that you want to be able to do.
505
And maybe that means I think she'd like to own her own business one day.
506
So she thinks Lindsay would like to own her own business.
507
I don't know what that would be or whatever, but you need to walk before you run.
508
You need to walk before you run.
509
Yeah.
510
I mean, is it good to get some more life experience before going on to next level things.
511
Yeah, sure.
512
Also, she's super young.
513
She's 22 years old.
514
You know what I mean?
515
There's so, so much time to, I mean, people change their lives and reinvent themselves when they're 50.
516
People start new businesses that become successful when they're 50.
517
Like, you know, there's no rush.
518
Like she's like, she's a baby, you know, she's just getting some experience.
519
And I see that from one perspective, it's not that deep.
520
But on the other hand, if you're waking up every day, hating your life.
521
For me personally, that's not sustainable.
522
I got to get the hell out of there.
523
That's me.
524
That's me.
525
And people have different limits, I guess, where they, something in them just clicks, switches, and they're like, hell no,
526
I got to get out of here.
527
I have a low tolerance.
528
It's true.
529
I have a low tolerance for things that I don't want to do, things that piss me off.
530
I hate to be like trapped in things.
531
I hate commitments that I don't really want.
532
But as I get older
533
and I look back would I have dropped out of college the way
534
that I did I don't know I don't know
535
if I would have if I could go back
536
and do it with what I know now but I think
537
if I could go back
538
and do it with what I know
539
now I would have chosen something totally different anyway I think
540
I would have gone to a different school
541
I would have had a different major I would you know like everything would have been different
542
so it's useless to play that game of what would you do
543
if you could go back knowing what you know
544
now the reality is you're just you're living things for the first time in the moment
545
and you just got to go with your gut feeling
546
and that's all I've ever done is just go with my gut feeling with what I feel in my gut
547
you know in my my intestines so yeah that's what I've always done
548
and um it well it turned out good for me
549
but it's true Angela has a point you need to walk before you run I don't know this doesn't mean
550
that this is going to be the job this is the job
551
that you're going to be and for the rest of your life.
552
Yeah.
553
And that's important to remember.
554
She needs to know that she's not stuck there forever.
555
Life is too short to hate what you're doing.
556
Yeah.
557
Personally, I would say also life is too short to even not like what you're doing, even if you don't hate it,
558
but you don't like it.
559
I don't know.
560
Life is too short for that too, but I don't know.
561
I speak from a privileged place also.
562
It's a lot of people just, they don't have so many options of enjoyable jobs.
563
I don't know if she hates it, she says.
564
I don't think that's the issue
565
so much as just grasping the reality of I got to get up every morning and go to work.
566
All right.
567
So that's what Angela said about Lindsay.
568
This turned into longer than I thought.
569
I only got two audio clips because I just talked a lot about that one, that last one. So whatever.
570
No problem.
571
I got like four more of those audio clips.
572
So I'm going to have to make more videos where we go through this, where we analyze my aunt's audio messages.
573
You guys seem to love it.
574
I love it too. So great.
575
And you know what?
576
My aunt just sent me another one.
577
She just sent me a 20 minute audio message, but I'm not going to do this forever.
578
I'm not going to make these videos with my aunt's audio message forever.
579
So I'll probably do a couple more using the messages from this current one
580
that we're working on this current message that was 24 minutes.
581
I'll probably make a couple more videos about that and then we'll switch to another.
582
We'll do a different topic or I'll make a different kind of video or whatever.
583
I like to switch it up.
584
I don't want all my videos to be always about the same thing.
585
My aunt did say, go ahead, use my audio messages as much as you want.
586
I got no problem with that, but I like to keep it interesting on the channel and switch it up.
587
So that's that.
588
Thanks for being here with me.
589
Thanks for watching until the end.
590
You guys are the best ones.
591
The best viewers are those who watch until the end or listen.
592
You don't have to watch.
593
You can listen, but yeah.
594
Love ya.
595
All right.
596
Take care.
597
Bye now.
598
Bye now.

القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| المضارع التام المستمر have/has been + -ing — حدث بدأ سابقًا وما زال مستمرًا | She's been struggling |
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | haven't seen · I've never even met · I've never met |
| جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء | people who are · work, which is · those who watch |
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | is meant · were designed |
نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 229 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل don't, you're, I'm. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “sh” و“zh”: internship /ˈɪntɜːnʃɪp/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, shock /ʃɔk/, suspicious /səˈspɪʃ.əs/, graduation /ˌɡɹæd͡ʒuˈeɪʃən/
- الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, flexibility /ˌflɛksɪˈbɪlɪti/, difficulty /ˈdɪfɪkəlti/, graduation /ˌɡɹæd͡ʒuˈeɪʃən/
أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: internship /ˈɪntɜːnʃɪp/, clip /klɪp/, capitol /ˈkæp.ɪ.təl/, grip /ˈɡɹɪp/, topic /ˈtɑpɪk/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: privilege /ˈpɹɪv.(ɪ.)lɪd͡ʒ/, vomit /ˈvɑmɪt/, slave /sleɪv/, productive /pɹəˈdʌk.tɪv/, governmental /ˌɡʌvɚnˈmɛnt(ə)l/
- تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: aunt /ɑːnt/, clip /klɪp/, grip /ˈɡɹɪp/, uncle /ˈʌŋ.kl̩/, flexibility /ˌflɛksɪˈbɪlɪti/
كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ابدأ بسرعة 0.75×، وردّد جملة جملة، ثم عُد إلى السرعة العادية عندما يصبح الأمر سهلًا.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل aunt, audio, retire.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
