1
Today is all about good habits and bad habits.
2
These are my habit socks.
3
I'll be putting good habits and bad habits inside these socks.
4
And throughout this video, I'll be sharing my top tips with you guys to help you speak about habits in real natural English conversation.
5
Let's go.
6
First habit of the day, I am taking a brisk walk on the beach.
7
A brisk walk is a quick walk, unlike taking a stroll.
8
A stroll is a gentle walk.
9
Oh, what a beautiful morning to stroll.
10
So, is taking a walk a good habit or a bad habit?
11
For me, it's a logical choice.
12
It's a good habit.
13
Right now it's 8.05 in the morning.
14
It's 5 past 8 and I'm taking a walk along the shore.
15
The shore is the place where the ocean meets the sand.
16
But I'm not just here for a walk, I am collecting shells.
17
Wow, what a shell that is.
18
And it looks like a unicorn horn.
19
Very cool.
20
Hmm, well, you know.
21
Right, we've got our shells.
22
Now we're going to head home.
23
And to do that, I need to cross the roads.
24
But before we do, this is white paint on the trunk of a tree.
25
And that is to protect the trunk from the midday sun.
26
Now, very carefully, I'm crossing the road.
27
And I made it safely.
28
Now it's time to make coffee.
29
Ah, my favourite time of the day.
30
Now I've got my coffee.
31
It's time for today's top tip.
32
Anchor your habits with time words such as in the morning, every day, or around 7 o'clock,
33
make your sentences sound complete, even if your grammar is simple.
34
For example, every morning I drink a nice hot coffee, and this is my favourite time of the day.
35
But is drinking coffee a good habit or is it a bad habit?
36
Well, it is a hot topic.
37
It's debated.
38
Personally, drinking coffee has to be a good habit.
39
The next habit of the day is to make breakfast.
40
And seeing as today is a Sunday, I want to make a special breakfast.
41
Milk.
42
Eggs.
43
A box of eggs.
44
And some mayonnaise.
45
No. Flour.
46
The cupboard.
47
Flour.
48
There we go.
49
Flour.
50
I am cracking the egg into the metal bowl.
51
I am pouring 100 milliliters of milk into the plastic measuring jug.
52
Yes, this is a whisk.
53
I am sieving the flour into the bowl.
54
And this is a sieve.
55
Whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk.
56
Okay.
57
My pancake batter is ready.
58
This is pancake batter and I'm about to fry it in the frying pan.
59
The butter is sizzling in the frying pan.
60
I am pouring the pancake batter into the frying pan.
61
While the pancake is cooking in the frying pan, the next good habit of the day is to clean as you go.
62
Just to do the washing up. as you cook.
63
I used to work in a kitchen, and the one good habit that I got from that was to clean as you go.
64
All chefs know, if you clean as you go, your workstation's clean, you don't have to clean up afterwards, and it feels better.
65
So the water is coming out of the tap.
66
This is the tap.
67
And I am doing the washing up.
68
I am washing up the metal bowl.
69
This is a cloth, which is different to a scourer.
70
I've taught you guys this before.
71
This is the scourer, the rough part, and this is the sponge, the smooth part.
72
Wiping the sink.
73
Okay, and I'm going to rinse off those suds, the soap suds.
74
To rinse off is to remove the soap from something, to wash it away.
75
Okay, let's check the pancake.
76
Right, this pancake is ready to flip.
77
The next verb for you guys, flip.
78
And I hope I can do it right.
79
She won't release.
80
Turn that, turn you off.
81
Alright, let's pretend that that didn't happen.
82
It's too, it's too fucking sticky.
83
Ah, mother fucker, I'm gonna f*ing bare myself.
84
Come on.
85
Ready?
86
I just flipped the pancake.
87
Now I've flipped the pancake, it's time to slice the banana.
88
First, I will peel the banana.
89
Oops.
90
I'm peeling the banana.
91
And these bananas are very ripe, which means they're ready to eat.
92
When they are green, we say they're not ripe, or they are unripe.
93
Look at that, it's a bit mushy.
94
The texture is kind of mushy, so it's ready to eat.
95
Perfect for a pancake.
96
Now I'm slicing the banana.
97
Pressing the bin, opening the lid, and putting in the banana skin.
98
So the final step is the chocolate, and this is Cadbury's dairy milk.
99
Cadbury's is around 120 years old and it is a British chocolate.
100
It's a very common chocolate to eat in the UK.
101
It's not too fancy but everyone loves it.
102
It's a classic.
103
I'm going to slice this Cadbury's into chunks.
104
These are chunks of chocolate,
105
three chunks of chocolate, and I'm going to put them on the pancake so that it melts and folding the pancake
106
Breakfast is served I have my fork my knife and I'm going to dig in.
107
To dig in is to begin eating Mmm That's good.
108
But, is eating chocolate banana pancakes a good habit or a bad habit?
109
If you ate chocolate banana pancakes every day, then it's not great.
110
I'm going to say it's a bad habit.
111
When talking about bad habits or negative habits, I have another top tip.
112
Instead of framing it in a negative way, instead of saying, I eat unhealthily, you can say, I don't usually eat unhealthily,
113
but this morning is an exception.
114
Instead of saying, I don't drink enough water, instead you can say, I'm trying to drink more water.
115
If we relate this to English, instead of saying, I'm bad at pronunciation, you could say, I'm working to get better at pronunciation.
116
I'm working to improve my pronunciation.
117
Just by changing that phrasing from a negative to a positive, it changes the energy and it changes how you see yourself.
118
The next habit is reading.
119
And for me, reading is a good habit.
120
I like to read for around 10 minutes on a morning while my mind is fresh.
121
I was just talking about improving your pronunciation as an English learner, and my next top tip to do that is to read out loud for one minute a day.
122
Here's how it works.
123
Take a book, any book, and read out loud.
124
But when you read, I want you to overdo your mouth movements, exaggerate your mouth.
125
This is going to strengthen your mouth muscles,
126
your tongue muscles, and it's going to improve your pronunciation and your articulation, which will help you sound more clear,
127
more natural, and more confident when you speak.
128
Coffee.
129
Now, back to reading in my head.
130
I just got distracted by my phone.
131
I stopped reading, I started using my phone, and it turned into mindless scrolling, which is my next bad habit.
132
Checking our phones too much or scrolling mindlessly unaware.
133
This is something that I used to have a big problem with.
134
I would sit and scroll for hours every day, but then I replaced it with reading.
135
They say that you can't just stop a bad habit, you have to replace it with a new habit, otherwise you'll fall back into the same routine.
136
So if you also use your phone a bit too much, then starting to spend some time each day picking up a
137
book might be a lot more beneficial for you in the long run.
138
The next good habit of the day is to brush my teeth.
139
This is my electric toothbrush and this is a tube of toothpaste.
140
I'm unscrewing the lid and squeezing the toothpaste onto the bristles of the toothbrush.
141
These are the bristles.
142
Now in me go.
143
After I've washed my face, I usually do some skin care.
144
And there I just said, I usually do.
145
Usually is a time phrase, like normally, often, or sometimes.
146
We can use these time phrases to talk about our habits and how often we do those habits.
147
I usually take care of my skin.
148
I didn't used to in the past, I didn't used to, but now I do because Chang, the one behind the camera,
149
has taught me that our skin is important and so we should take care of it, just like we take care of our diets and our sleep.
150
I'm tapping on my face.
151
Apparently this is good for the moisturiser to go inside your pores.
152
Your pores are the little holes in your skin.
153
Next is some serum and this is in a glass pipette.
154
Now I'm massaging my cheeks.
155
These are my cheeks.
156
My cheekbones.
157
We call this moisturizing.
158
I'm moisturizing my skin.
159
The next good habit of the day is to exercise.
160
This is a pull-up bar and these are my gymnastics rings.
161
They are adjustable, meaning I can adjust the height up and down.
162
They are wooden, they are made of wood.
163
You can hear it when I knock.
164
And they are circular, they are round.
165
I grip them like this and I can either hang or do pull-ups.
166
This is skin the cat. And you go through. To the floor.
167
Upside down.
168
Right now, I'm hanging upside down.
169
And all the blood is rushing to my head.
170
And I feel like I'm going to pass out.
171
Front lever.
172
Exercise done.
173
Time to work.
174
My favorite place to work is outside here on the terrace.
175
I've got my laptop, my computer mouse, my Van Gogh mouse pad,
176
and I like to work out here because I have a view of the ocean.
177
To be able to see the ocean when I'm working is an absolute pleasure and I'm very fortunate, I'm very lucky and I'm grateful.
178
What am I working on?
179
Well, as some of you may know, for the past five months, I have been building a business, an English platform called Sprouts.
180
And I've been working on that with a guy called Blake, my business partner.
181
We have been working on this together, and he is responsible for the beautiful website and very soon a brand new app.
182
We're going to have an app that's going to be launched on Apple and Google Play.
183
So I'll let you guys know when the app is gonna drop so you can check it out.
184
It's exciting It's a dream
185
that I've always had since I was young to create my own app
186
If you want to check out sprout then I'll leave a
187
link in the description for you guys to immerse yourself in English and build a positive habit Now for me
188
It's time to get back to work A few moments later
189
I've exercised and I've worked and I think these are good habits, as long as we take regular breaks.
190
Speaking of taking breaks, in between my working sessions I like to take a short break,
191
sit down for two minutes and I set a timer on my phone just to make it even easier.
192
Now set a timer for two minutes and in this time I like to close my eyes and hum.
193
Hum.
194
I hum because that stimulates my parasympathetic nervous system which is basically a fancy way of saying that it reduces stress, anxiety, it lowers your heart rate,
195
lowers your blood pressure and generally enhances your focus and improves your emotional well-being.
196
Two minutes of humming, very easy.
197
Time is up.
198
I feel good, I feel relaxed.
199
By the way, I'm sitting cross-legged, my legs are crossed, I'm sitting cross-legged on a rug.
200
This is a rug, not a carpet.
201
So now we've looked at my daily routine, my habits, I want to go outside,
202
take an evening walk and look at people around us.
203
What do Vietnamese people do on a daily basis?
204
What are other people's habits?
205
I'm curious, don't know about you.
206
On the other side of the road, you can see people exercising.
207
That man is swinging his arms on the beach.
208
That's a habit I see a lot of Vietnamese people do.
209
They swing their arms to get the blood flow and some exercise.
210
It's a very common sight I see in Vietnam.
211
People love to exercise on the exercise equipment.
212
They rotate their arms around like that, do pull-ups, sit-ups, that kind of thing.
213
And it's usually at sunrise and sunset because in the day it's very hot.
214
Here again you can see the man exercising.
215
He's spinning the wheels round and round.
216
Riding the boat.
217
Yeah he's practicing riding a boat.
218
Coming past now is a man on a bicycle.
219
He's on a mountain bike and he's riding his bicycle along the road towards Sun Cha mountain.
220
This lady is sitting down on the bench looking out to sea.
221
And look at the light guys, it's a beautiful sunset.
222
This area is really lively.
223
Over there you have the people exercising, doing dips and pull-ups.
224
Here we have Chang resting, looking in the sea.
225
In the distance, on the background, there is an old man and an old woman exercising on the exercise machines.
226
And here in front of us you have families with kids playing in the sea.
227
Everyone is having a good time.
228
Hello.
229
In the distance, there is a speedboat zooming across the water.
230
The kid is playing in the sea while the parents are on their phones, chilling, taking a break from parenting.
231
Alright, we've checked out some interesting people at the beach, it's always fun.
232
Now let's go do a habit that is probably a bad habit, but I like it.
233
Ice cream.
234
Snacking.
235
Snacking is the next bad habit of the day.
236
To snack is to eat little bits of food in between meals.
237
And it's alright if you snack healthily, but ice creams are not so healthy.
238
So right now I'm snacking on this ice cream, and that is a bad habit.
239
Those kids behind me, they're also snacking on some crisps after school.
240
Snacking is a universal habit.
241
It might be bad, but you know, you've got to do some things that are bad for you to feed the soul.
242
After snacking on the ice cream, I want to balance that with a good habit, and that is staying hydrated.
243
Drinking plenty of water to keep my brain active keeps me alive.
244
I'm thankful for that, and yeah, water is refreshing.
245
There's one final idea I want to leave you guys with is that habits are like ice cubes.
246
Imagine an ice cube in a cold room.
247
You start heating it up.
248
Minus three degrees.
249
No change.
250
Minus two, minus one, still nothing.
251
But at zero degrees, the melting begins.
252
Your English is the same.
253
You might not see the change today or tomorrow, but every step you take is adding up to a big difference.
254
If you're ready to see that change, join us today on Sprout, 15 minutes a day to watch, learn and speak.
255
Because small things make a big difference.
256
this crowd is here to stay a new beginning starts today a new beginning starts today

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
