Shadowing Practice: Asian's Got Parent (ft. Steven He & Uncle Roger) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Welcome to the very first season of Asian Scott Parent, where the most talented agents from around the world compete for Asian parents approval.

Our very first judge today is Steven's dad.

Hello, I'm a professional agent dad from failure management.

Today nobody is going I'm going to get a powder you from me I've been proudly disappointing children since 1995

So I look forward to seeing the failures today The next

judge is Tiger Mom I am ready to compile all the contestants chicken today

Because they no practice enough I already know they don't Not like Ling Ling Who practice 40 hours a day

And become doctor at age 5 Why my son not like Ling Ling

And lastly we have Uncle Roger Hello niece and nephew,

it's Uncle Roger I can't wait to see the performance today It better not be disappointing like Jamie Oliver Egg fried rice,

hiya Today we have four contestants who will compete for our parents' approval Our very first contestant is Stephen Yeah,

when I was five years old my dad really wanted me to play the piano

So he went all the way back to China to find the best wood in the world allegedly

and he carried it all the way to America, allegedly.

And allegedly, he also said he carried it through like 20 rivers and 30 mountains, allegedly.

So I wanna do my best and make him proud because that's everything I've ever wanted.

Hello, hello, what's your name?

And what are you going to do today?

Hello, my name is Steven.

I'll be playing Chopin on the piano.

Stupid!

I told you go study, wasting time.

But dad, they're gonna give us a million dollars if we win.

I messed up.

Producer, do you mind if I take it back?

No, I need Steven to get the money because I want my convertible Mercedes.

What?

Can't take it back?

What the hell?

Hey, let me ask you a question.

How old are you?

Twenty.

Ha!

Failure!

Ling Ling already played that piece at two months old.

What with this interpretation?

So bland, no flavor, no taste, wear the MSG in the music.

Haiyaa, I'd rather go eat Rachel Ray's chicken breast.

Well, the judges weren't that impressed by Stephen's playing.

Let's see if our next contestant, Brett, will win their approval.

I fell in love with music the very first second I touched the violin.

And I worked so hard and I practiced for most of my life to get to where I am today.

I just really hope today I can share with the world my passion for classical music.

Hi, my name is Brett and I'll be playing Endante from Bach's Second Sonata.

Thank you.

The playing

is not bad.

Not bad, Uncle Roger impressed.

Tell me what you want to do.

What your hope and dream after this competition.

My dream is to become a professional violinist one day.

Oh, that's disgusting.

Get up!

Music always just hobby only, haiyaa, get proper jobs.

Violence for impressing your auntie at family reunion, not career!

You're not gonna be as good as Yo-Yo Ma, just give up, just give up!

Whoa, that took a wild turn.

Well next up we have Eddie, another violinist.

Let's see if he can impress our Asian parents today.

It has been my lifelong dream to be an Asian godparent, And today, I'm certain I will finally win my parents' approval.

How am I so certain?

Well, you see, here's the thing.

Life is just an endless series of exams.

And every exam you can ace as long as you study.

So, I've been studying talent shows for the last two months.

And the probability of me succeeding... is 100%.

Hello, what's your name?

What are you doing today?

Hi, my name is Eddie.

And I'm here to win today.

I'll be playing Flight of the Bumblebee Flight of the Bumblebee?

Failure!

Why not Bumble A?

Huh?

B's make honey, A's make money Good point, good point But let's listen to him first

Oh no no no stop Kids look away, cut the camera This disgusting what you doing This honour Oh

Weeoh that waist so flexible Not bad uncle roger used to be like that also,

but now I owe now waist so so stiff that when auntie helen left She found someone with more flexible ways.

I don't like you.

Goodbye.

Wow, none of the contestants so far have won the Asian parents' approval.

Let's see if our very last contestant can break this pattern.

Hi, my name is Nigel.

I'm just your average Asian guy.

Not super talented at anything.

And that's okay, you know.

Sometimes you just have to not always feel like you're not enough all the time, right?

So I'm just gonna go up there and be myself Hello, what's your name and what you performing today?

Hi, my name is Nigel I'm not here to perform I'm just here to be myself What you mean you're not performing?

Wha- Huh?

I'm...

A doctor Oh!

Fuiyoh!

I love you, son Your parents must be so proud of you Why can't Stephen be like you, huh?

Why can't I be a zombie doctor like you?

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
