1
Hi, real quick before I show you this video, I just want to tell you that I looked at the video footage
2
and I realized after that I had food in my teeth.
3
It's just a little bit, it's just a couple, a tiny little green dot, like two little green specks,
4
green dots, because I ate pesto before I filmed.
5
And when I saw it, I was like, oh no, I don't want to have to film it all over again.
6
So I am not going to, I'm going to just show you the footage.
7
It's just, you know, a normal thing that happens to all of us.
8
We all get food in our teeth.
9
I didn't check my teeth before I filmed.
10
It's okay.
11
It's a human, normal, natural thing.
12
All right.
13
If it bothers you, you don't have to watch it.
14
You can just listen to it, but it's really a minor thing.
15
So I just want to let you know.
16
I'm aware that there is a little bit of food in my teeth.
17
Okay.
18
But it's not a big deal.
19
Okay.
20
Enjoy the video.
21
Bye.
22
I mean, hello.
23
I mean, enjoy the video.
24
Hi everyone.
25
Wow.
26
I am so excited to be back.
27
It's been a while, right?
28
I've been doing these videos where I have conversations with people and it's been great.
29
And you guys have been loving them.
30
They've been doing really well, but it's nice to be back in front of the camera by myself to talk about whatever
31
I want to talk about because I like it.
32
And I don't know, it's fun.
33
My original podcast.
34
I am currently in Bogota, Colombia.
35
I've been here for about three weeks.
36
I'm loving it.
37
Right now I'm sitting in front of my window.
38
I have a beautiful view of the city.
39
I'm actually moving to another apartment in a week.
40
So I only have this view for like one more week, but the new apartment is in a better neighborhood.
41
So it's worth it.
42
But yeah, I'm really excited.
43
I spent a month with my family and now I'm back in South America.
44
I love South America.
45
I love Colombia.
46
I'm going to be here for a little bit longer.
47
I'm going to be here for like five more weeks.
48
And then in the middle of August, I'm going down to Argentina.
49
I know it's winter, it's going to be cold, but I'm back in my South American tour.
50
Even though I'm happy to be filming this video today, I'm a little bit flustered, to be honest.
51
I'm a little bit, I'm just, I'm feeling honestly kind of disgusted or very disgusted really right now.
52
It's been an ongoing thing, the situation in the United States with ICE.
53
And we know that that's been a huge problem for a while now.
54
And they've been killing people and putting people in concentration camps and they've been doing horrible things, like literally just absolutely atrocious fascist bullshit.
55
And we know that's been going on, but I just saw a video of apparently there was a 26 year old
56
Colombian who was killed, who was shot by ICE in Maine, which is my home state.
57
And that was just really surreal for me.
58
That was just really like,
59
whoa, because I am from Maine and I am in Colombia and I never once have to worry about getting shot here.
60
Now, I understand that Colombia is not the safest country in the world and that, you know, I have to be careful.
61
You know, I don't walk around in the nighttime and I don't go to sketchy areas because I could be robbed.
62
I'm aware of that.
63
But it's nothing compared to what's going on in the United States right now.
64
The fact that a 26 year old
65
Colombian who was also documented, he had his papers, not that it matters, even if he wasn't documented,
66
even if he was suspected to be a criminal, it's never, ever, well, almost never justified to shoot someone in the street.
67
Unless they are literally shooting at you or they're shooting innocent people, there's no reason to shoot someone.
68
So regardless, documented or not, doesn't matter.
69
The fact that someone going to literally, like he was on his way to work, he's just living his normal life and just shot by authorities.
70
I don't have to worry about that in Colombia.
71
Like that wouldn't happen to me here, you know, at least not now, hopefully never.
72
It just was surreal.
73
Like basically, you know, a Colombian in Maine got shot and I am a Mainer in Colombia.
74
And I, when I tell people, some people in the United States, especially older generations, but, but really anybody, when I tell them like,
75
I'm going to Colombia, some people, a lot of people really are like concerned about is Colombia dangerous?
76
Like, you know, concern for my safety.
77
It's just the irony, the irony of like the Colombian is actually more at risk
78
of danger of literally being killed in my home state than I am here.
79
So it's just, it's just kind of a mind fuck.
80
It kind of got in my head today.
81
So I'm a little bit worked up.
82
I'm a little bit worked up about that.
83
But my original intention for this video today was to just talk about like my daily routine
84
because I know you guys like these videos like these speak with me videos where I just kind of talk about things.
85
It's like a podcast style.
86
You can learn some words and phrases.
87
By the way, this is what I do in my WhatsApp group chat.
88
I record myself talking about random things sometimes like for 30 minutes.
89
So you basically just get bonus exclusive.
90
podcast content for me
91
if you join my whatsapp group chat it's a good way to just learn vocabulary learn phrases
92
and you can also practice speaking because you can pause it
93
and you can copy me you can oh
94
she just said an interesting word an interesting phrase yeah i'd like to i'd like to practice
95
that i'd like that to be part of my vocabulary
96
so let me pause and let me copy her let me say it let me go back
97
and listen how did she say it okay i'm gonna say it like that that's how you learn a language.
98
People always want to know the complicated secret method.
99
That's it.
100
Okay.
101
That's how I learned Spanish.
102
I listen to Spanish speakers talk.
103
I imitate, imitate, listen, imitate.
104
That's how babies learn.
105
That's how we learn.
106
That's how we learn. So yeah.
107
So if you like this kind of content a lot, you could check out my WhatsApp group chat.
108
The link is always on my channel page.
109
Regardless, I know you guys like these YouTube videos.
110
It also gives you like a visual component.
111
You can literally see me.
112
And sometimes I put like the words or phrases is up on the screen as well.
113
You can also turn on the captions, the subtitles, so you can read along with me.
114
Like I said, my intention for this video was to be like a typical day in my life, like lately, you know, what,
115
like from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed, like what do I do in a day?
116
And even though a lot of these, a lot of this vocabulary you might already know,
117
because it's a topic that allows me to just talk about all kinds of different random things
118
that might pop into my head or there might be things in my routine
119
or certain ways that I talk about it that you haven't heard before.
120
So it's not just like I wake up, I brush my teeth, I eat breakfast.
121
Like obviously that's a part of it, but I'm going to try to get into more details.
122
I'm going to try to get more detailed so that I talk about things that you might not be familiar with.
123
You might not know already.
124
So, and as always, it's just a good practice.
125
It's just a good refresher review.
126
Okay.
127
So let's get into it.
128
That was a long intro.
129
I always do these long intros and then, well, not always.
130
Sometimes, sometimes I film a long intro and then I'm like, oh, that was too long.
131
And I cut it out.
132
And then you guys don't even see it.
133
Sometimes I just get talking and talking.
134
I get rambling.
135
That's what we call it.
136
Just rambling.
137
I just ramble on.
138
I just keep talking, talking, talking, talking, just keep rambling.
139
Okay.
140
So I'm going to try to think like, for example, today, what was my routine today?
141
My daily routine, my daily routine, but specifically I'm going to tell you what I did so far today.
142
And I'm going to try to use the verbs in the past tense,
143
because I know the verbs in the past tense can be more difficult because a lot of them are irregular,
144
or you just might not have as much practice with them.
145
Because usually when you learn a new verb, you learn the present form, but you might forget the past form.
146
You might not use it that much.
147
So I'm going to tell you what I did today so far.
148
So this morning I woke up around, I think it was, if I remember correctly,
149
I think it was around nine or just before nine.
150
Now, if you've been watching my videos for a long time, then you know that that's actually quite early for me
151
because I can definitely sleep until noon if I go to bed at four in the morning, which is what I sometimes do.
152
But lately, since I've, uh, since I came here, I have been going to bed.
153
I've been feeling tired and going to bed a little earlier than normal.
154
I've been getting tired around like 12, one and going to bed like by two at the latest, sometimes a lot of times earlier.
155
I know that does not sound early for a lot of you, but for me it is, okay?
156
So I think I went to bed at two last night.
157
And normally if I go to bed at two, I'm expecting myself to sleep until at least 10, right?
158
To get a good like eight hours.
159
Sometimes my body needs more, sometimes less.
160
And today was one of those days when I guess I needed less sleep.
161
I don't know, because I went to bed at two, but I woke up at like nine.
162
So I only got like seven hours, which for me is for me, it's not that much, but some days I'm okay with seven hours.
163
Some days I'm fine.
164
My body just wakes up at that time and I just, okay.
165
I woke up kind of feeling weird because I had like a very kind of one of those intense nostalgic dreams,
166
you know, like where somebody from your past
167
that you don't really talk to anymore is in your dream and they're like a main character in your dream.
168
And so it was kind of one of those like very nostalgic, like it was one of those dreams where I woke up and I thought,
169
should I contact that person? Should I?
170
And it's not an ex -boyfriend.
171
It's not, it's not, it's not that, but it was, it was someone, it was someone who used to be my friend like years ago.
172
And I was like, should I contact that person?
173
Should I send them a message?
174
And I looked for their Instagram and I was like, Oh, I know they're also on Facebook.
175
I don't know, maybe later.
176
But it's that feeling when you first wake up, you feel like, oh, I should reach out to them.
177
It's very strong, fresh in your mind.
178
But then as the time goes on, as the time goes on, as the time goes by, either way, as the day goes by,
179
you are like, nah, I don't need to contact them.
180
Nah, I don't need to do that.
181
It's like, why?
182
If I hadn't had that dream, I would have never even thought about it. So why?
183
But I don't know.
184
Maybe I will.
185
Maybe I won't.
186
I'm not sure.
187
But it's not like I'm probably even going to be able to see them.
188
I mean, they are in a different country and whatever.
189
But yeah, so I had one of those like strong nostalgic dreams.
190
You wake up and you want to talk to the person that was in your dream.
191
So that happened.
192
I wake up and now I know that you're not supposed to look at your phone when you wake up.
193
Like I know that you're, you're really not supposed to like wake up and reach for your phone and look at your phone.
194
Everybody says it's bad.
195
I know it's like, In theory, I get that it's bad.
196
I know that it's bad.
197
But the thing is, is that a lot of times when I wake up, I just feel like I feel tired.
198
Well, obviously, obviously I feel tired, but I also feel like sometimes I just feel kind of crappy and like,
199
I don't know, I guess it's just a habit because I totally could just lay there and just,
200
I know that like as the minutes go by, I would start to wake up more
201
and I would probably start to feel better
202
but I guess out of like trying to avoid that discomfort
203
or that tiredness I will look at my phone because I know that
204
that will wake me up looking at my phone will it will really wake me up
205
it's like my coffee I don't drink coffee
206
but like my coffee is like looking at my phone
207
but I'm not like doom scrolling immediately
208
when I wake up I usually check my notifications so I will check like my email.
209
I will check my messages, my text messages from my friends, or I will text my, I mean, I will check my WhatsApp group chat.
210
So yeah, I usually just check messages and notifications, stuff like that, basically.
211
So that's what I did.
212
And I laid in bed for a while.
213
And then a lot of times, because I just don't feel like getting out of bed, if I have something to do,
214
Like if I have a video that's all ready to post, I will post it in from bed, from my bed.
215
So I will, so this is what I did today.
216
I laid in my bed and I had a video.
217
I had a short, I had a short English video to post on Instagram and YouTube.
218
I say English video because I also make short videos in Spanish.
219
I have two different Instagram pages.
220
If you didn't know, I have one in English that's lao .english is my username
221
and then I have one in Spanish that's just profe .lao.
222
If you watch my short videos on YouTube then you might not even care about my Instagram
223
but if you are interested you can also follow me on Instagram.
224
I just post the same short content that I post on my YouTube channel
225
but yeah but I have one in Spanish and one in English
226
so I posted a short English video on Instagram and YouTube today.
227
And usually what I do is I post it and then I'll stick around for like 10, 20 minutes and look at people's reactions.
228
I'll respond to some of the first comments and that kind of a thing.
229
See how it's doing and kind of just see what the response is.
230
Because sometimes I might forget a piece of information or I need to clarify something, So I will respond to the comments and then, yeah.
231
So I, but once I finally get up, I finally got up out of bed.
232
I made my bed.
233
So I pulled the sheets and the covers up and made my bed, made my bed all nice.
234
I pulled up, wait, no, yes.
235
I'm like confused if I'm pulling down or pulling up.
236
Yes, I'm pulling up the shades, right?
237
Because we're opening it.
238
It's going up to let the daylight in.
239
So I pulled up the shades.
240
At nighttime, I pull them down.
241
Yeah, it would be the opposite.
242
I pulled up the shades.
243
That's where I am right now.
244
I'm in my bedroom.
245
I have a beautiful view in here and also in the living room area.
246
This apartment is technically a studio, but the wall between the bedroom and the living room, it's not fully connected.
247
It's not a complete wall.
248
There's no door.
249
It's open it's like a bear it's like a barrier it's like it's like a partial wall
250
so there is a divider it's a divider there's a dividing wall between the living room
251
and the bedroom but there's not there's no door
252
so it's technically a studio because it's like you can just walk right through it
253
but there is a divider so
254
when you're in the living room you can't see the bedroom there's a dividing wall there
255
but i have a great view in both my bedroom
256
and my living room i'm gonna miss that when I moved to the next place.
257
It's a nice view right now.
258
Right now it's 5 40 PM in Columbia.
259
And if you know, if you know these countries.
260
near the equator.
261
That means the sun is setting all year round at this time.
262
The sun is starting to go down.
263
It will really be officially down around like, I think, 630, but I can tell it's starting to have that evening sun.
264
You know, this is kind of like the golden hour, they call it, the golden hour.
265
We call it that, I think, in English.
266
It's a nice time to like take pictures and stuff.
267
I hope my video is, I hope there's enough daylight still that my video is light enough.
268
Anyways, so I pulled up the shades to let the light in
269
and then I went to the bathroom and I brushed my teeth.
270
I like to brush my teeth straight away.
271
You can also say right away.
272
I say that.
273
I say I brush my teeth right away
274
but another option is I brush my teeth straight away and I said I brushed, brushed in the past.
275
A lot of times verbs in the past in English don't really even sound like verbs in the past
276
because it's there's the difference is very subtle
277
so for example i brush my teeth i brushed my teeth you see how it's
278
so subtle the difference like brush brushed brush brushed brush brushed brush brushed sometimes it's
279
so soft and depending on the verb sometimes you can barely even tell
280
that it's in the past in that case you just have to know
281
that it's in the past based on the context right
282
so i'm telling you what i did so you kind of know
283
that it's a past verb
284
but sometimes the ending sound is not very strong it's like a slight it's a subtle like t sound
285
or d sound and it's not very strong so yeah
286
so i i brushed brushed my teeth i like to brush my teeth right away
287
because i like to give my mouth time to kind of get the toothpaste flavor out of my mouth
288
so that I can enjoy the taste of my breakfast.
289
Usually I don't eat breakfast right away because I am not like hungry immediately.
290
So I like to kind of build up an appetite so that by the time I'm ready to eat,
291
which sometimes it's not for a couple hours, I don't have any toothpaste nothingness.
292
I have nothing in my mouth.
293
It's all nothing.
294
I also put a little bit of cream, cream or ointment, ointment is another word.
295
It's like a healing cream.
296
A little bit of it, a little tiny bit on the tip of my nose.
297
It's pretty much almost fully healed now.
298
But a couple weeks ago, I went to a skin doctor and I got my nose, a little piece of my nose cauterized.
299
And so they like burned it because basically the story is that a year ago, I had a little, like a little zit.
300
A zit is kind of like a pimple, but smaller.
301
It's just like really small thing that you can squeeze and stuff come, white stuff comes out, you know.
302
There's different things.
303
There's also whiteheads, blackheads.
304
I don't know technically what this thing was called, okay?
305
We have different names for different things, but it was like a little zit or a little whitehead on my nose,
306
on the tip of my nose.
307
And normally, I know you're not supposed to squeeze stuff, but I can't help it.
308
It's so tempting.
309
And when I do, nine times out of 10, it doesn't leave like a scar or anything.
310
So whatever, I just do it.
311
But I did a little one on my nose.
312
I squeezed it and it stayed like a bright red dot, like a wound, like it never healed.
313
It stayed like a bright red dot for a year.
314
And that's my fault for not going to the skin doctor earlier.
315
I should have.
316
I should have gone.
317
I don't know why I didn't go, but anyways, I finally went here in Colombia.
318
Well, because I was waiting.
319
I don't know.
320
Because I think I didn't want to go when I was in Brazil
321
because I'm not as confident in Portuguese as I am in Spanish, but I should have just gone.
322
It was fine.
323
I can communicate in Portuguese.
324
It's not that bad.
325
But then I left Brazil.
326
I went to Mexico, but I only went for like a month.
327
And then I went to Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico is part of the United States.
328
And so it's like healthcare is too expensive and whatever.
329
So I didn't want to, well, that's what I assumed.
330
So I didn't even try to do any healthcare stuff in Puerto Rico or the US.
331
I was just waiting until I go to Colombia.
332
Cause I know that in Colombia I can get healthcare stuff done for cheap.
333
It's more affordable.
334
And also they can see me immediately because in the United States, if you do not regularly go to a dermatologist,
335
if you're a new patient and you try to make an appointment, they're going to say, okay, see you in six months.
336
So, and it'll be really expensive.
337
So I said, I'm going to wait until Columbia.
338
So anyways, I finally did it here in Columbia.
339
Yeah.
340
So they just cauterized it to try to,
341
I guess, stimulate, basically they gave me a new wound to try to stimulate the healing in that area.
342
So I think it worked.
343
I'm not sure they did it a couple of weeks ago.
344
I actually have my follow -up appointment,
345
my follow -up checkup tomorrow and we'll see what they said that literally just before I filmed this video,
346
the scab, the scab, the little like skin that goes on top of it, it fell off.
347
But that's what is supposed to happen.
348
Actually, I thought it was going to come off earlier, but it was taken a while, but you're not supposed to peel it.
349
You're not supposed to take it off.
350
You're supposed to let it come off naturally.
351
I think it's, it's looking pretty good.
352
I think the red dot has gone away.
353
I think it's getting back to normal.
354
We'll see what they say tomorrow.
355
Anyways, so I put a little bit of cream.
356
I'm supposed to put cream on like three times a day.
357
I don't have any on right now.
358
I just kind of took it off for the video.
359
But yeah, so I did that.
360
I got dressed.
361
I put on my clothes.
362
I actually put on my gym clothes because I was planning on going to the gym.
363
And that's what I did.
364
But first I did some stuff in the kitchen.
365
I had some granadillas it's like a fruit here in Colombia in this region Colombia Ecuador Peru
366
they have a lot of granadillas it's related to the passion fruit
367
but it's not acidic it's just like sweet I really love them they're amazing
368
and Colombia is the biggest producer of them by the way
369
if you didn't know that well that's what the internet told me I don't know
370
so I had some granadillas like a little light breakfast
371
I usually just have a little bit of fruit for breakfast I really don't eat a lot
372
Sometimes, lately I've been eating pineapple because I love pineapples here in this region of South America.
373
I will eat a whole pineapple.
374
Like usually I eat a whole pineapple for breakfast.
375
But today I had a pineapple on my table, on my counter, but I decided to eat the granadillas.
376
So I just had like four granadillas or something.
377
And then I kind of just cleaned up a little bit in the kitchen, did some like dishes that I'd left the night before
378
because sometimes you do that
379
and I just kind of like prepared a little bit for
380
the day with the kitchen just kind of getting food ready
381
and stuff um and then it was time to go to the gym I procrastinated
382
but I had to go
383
because I had a class scheduled a conversation class scheduled at four
384
so I had to go to the gym
385
so I think I didn't go to the gym until like 2 p .m
386
But luckily the gym I can literally see it from my window.
387
The gym is right there.
388
So I just went to the gym I Today was a cardio day.
389
I do Strength training on some days and cardio on other days.
390
So some days I'm lifting weights
391
Some days I'm doing cardio today was a cardio day
392
So the bike machine that I like to use was taken.
393
So I said, you know what?
394
I'm gonna just run on the treadmill and usually I prefer the bike but today I had an excellent run.
395
It was really great.
396
And I was surprised because when I started running again, when I started getting back into running like a few months ago,
397
well, now it's July and I started getting back into it in March.
398
I remember getting tired like very easily, very quickly.
399
But today, I don't know why today was really easy.
400
It felt like I could run longer and And I wasn't getting as tired as quickly.
401
So it felt really good to run today.
402
And I'm really glad that I did that.
403
So, you know, previously I haven't run since I was like a teenager in high school in sports.
404
It's starting to get a little bit darker.
405
I'm gonna wrap up the video soon.
406
Also, I see I've been filming for a while, but so let me try to wrap up what I did today.
407
So I had a great run at the gym, came back from the gym,
408
and I had like an hour to take a shower and eat food.
409
So that's what I did.
410
So I jumped in the shower and I ate some food.
411
I had some tofu.
412
I had some like leftover pesto sauce.
413
So I mixed the pesto with the tofu.
414
I was eating that and I made just like a little bit of noodles
415
and broccoli with like some soy sauce and like sesame oil.
416
Like I like to do like Asian flavored stuff.
417
Yeah, it was weird.
418
I had like Asian noodles with like pesto tofu.
419
It was a weird combination, but I'm just trying to eat up the food
420
that I have in my apartment right now because I'm moving in like less than a week.
421
So I'm just trying to eat up what I have.
422
And I don't care if it's like weird, random combinations of things.
423
I'm just trying to eat my food.
424
So it did the job.
425
It filled me up.
426
And then it was time for my class, but my student forgot about the class.
427
So it was a new person actually.
428
And he texted me like 30 minutes later and was like, oh, I forgot the class.
429
It's okay.
430
It happens.
431
But my policy is that I don't do like refunds or rescheduling if you miss the class.
432
So he's going to have to schedule a new one if he wants to have a class with me.
433
But that was fine.
434
So I just basically just chill on the couch on my phone.
435
I was probably just scrolling and stuff, waiting for the student to show up and he didn't show up.
436
So then my plan all along, all day today, my plan.
437
was, I knew that my plan was to have the class and then to film the video.
438
But I was procrastinating a little bit.
439
So I was a little bit late to starting the class.
440
That's why it's getting a little bit dark now, but it's okay.
441
I'm almost done.
442
So then that brings me to now, basically, when I sat down and started to film this video.
443
But right before I started filming the video, I saw that video on Instagram about the Colombian that was killed in Maine.
444
He was 26 years old.
445
I am 28.
446
Well, I'm going to be 29 in September, but it's like somebody around my age.
447
Like, it's just so surreal.
448
He was in his car driving to work.
449
We are not angry enough.
450
I know everybody says that on Instagram, but it's cheesy, but it's true.
451
Like I went back to visit my family and my family did not bring this up once.
452
They didn't talk about this at all.
453
Why?
454
Because it doesn't affect them and they live in a bubble.
455
But for the people it does affect, it's an absolute hell nightmare.
456
And I'm just thinking about all the people who are in those camps, who are locked up in those fucking jails right now,
457
basically concentration camp, jails, children, women, you know, there's children and women being abused in there too,
458
you know, because there always is anytime shit like this happens.
459
Even when stuff doesn't happen like this, there's that goes on.
460
Oh, it just, it enrages me.
461
And there's so many fucked up things in the world.
462
There's so many horrible things going on in the world, you know, and I'm a vegan activist.
463
So I'm like, I'm also aware of the billions of animals being constantly slaughtered and constantly tortured.
464
And, you know, like I have that in my mind.
465
I have all the atrocities that are happening to humans, frigging pedophiles and sex trafficking, frigging United States invading countries and,
466
um, fucking Israel and fucking bombs and killing innocent people and women and children.
467
And whenever women and children are being killed, those people are in the wrong.
468
I mean, the, the people who are doing the killing.
469
I don't care what what they claim that their reasoning is.
470
I don't care if innocent women and children are being killed.
471
The killers are in the wrong.
472
I don't care what is the reason, what the excuse is.
473
No excuse for that.
474
No fucking excuse for that.
475
Anyways, that was my video.
476
You know I keep it real on this channel.
477
You know I'm real.
478
I'm authentic.
479
I'm the most authentic English teacher out here.
480
Hopefully I don't get flagged.
481
Hopefully Hopefully this video is monetized on YouTube, Jesus Christ.
482
But you know, you know, I got to keep it real with you guys.
483
And if you like, if you like me and my perspectives and keeping it real and what I have to say,
484
you can always join my WhatsApp group chat.
485
You can take a conversation class with me, private one, you know, whatever you want.
486
You can comment on my videos.
487
I appreciate the community a lot.
488
I appreciate when people connect with me in any way that they can and we just unite because,
489
yeah, I had this idea of I'm going to start introducing myself.
490
Like when people ask where I'm from, I normally don't say where I'm from.
491
It's not like part of my identity.
492
Like I don't like, hi, I'm Lao from the United States, but people ask me where I'm from.
493
And I thought about starting to say like, I am from the not
494
United States or like the states that aren't united.
495
Like in Spanish, you can say like Estados no Unidos.
496
Like probably people would get confused about what I'm saying, but I was thinking about saying like I'm from the not
497
United States, the states that are not united.
498
Like every place in the world, there are great things and there are horrible things going on there.
499
It's never all
500
Americans or all
501
United States or all.
502
It's not.
503
It's never that.
504
It's there are fascists and there are non -fascists and it's simple as that.
505
And then there are people who are just silent and they're being complicit because they're not fighting against it.
506
But yeah, you can find this here in Columbia.
507
There's fascists and non -fascists here and here anywhere.
508
So it's not, it's, it's a humanity thing.
509
It's not a country thing.
510
It's a humanity thing.
511
We're just, we're just seeing it, you know, pretty like in our face right now in the United States,
512
but, but it's happening in humanity in general.
513
So anyways, not to leave on a, on a negative note, but, but that's, that's, I think I'm going to stop the video there.
514
What am I going to do for the rest of the day?
515
Probably because I don't have a lot of food left in my kitchen and I don't know, I'm in the mood to like go out.
516
And so I think I'm, I think I might go to a vegan restaurant and eat some dinner out tonight.
517
I think I might, I think I might treat myself.
518
It's just traumatized.
519
I think I need to treat myself to some nice vegan cruelty -free food.
520
You know, hey, I like to support the vegan restaurants in Colombia and everywhere.
521
I like to support them, you know, because it's hard to have a restaurant business in general and then especially to have a vegan one,
522
like I like to support them.
523
So that's what I tell myself as an excuse, like, okay, you can go out to eat because you're supporting the vegan restaurants.
524
It's whatever, it still works.
525
Okay, so have a wonderful day, night, life.
526
Please remember to always think about the victims in any situation.
527
Think about who are really the victims.
528
Yeah, stand up for the victims.
529
Always, always stand up for the victims.
530
Fight against oppression, all forms of oppression, all forms of oppression.
531
All right, this is a great English class, hopefully.
532
Love ya, bye!

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.
