1
For a lot of you, speaking is the hardest part of English.
2
You can read it, you can understand it, but the moment it's your turn to talk, something happens.
3
Your brain freezes.
4
The words you knew yesterday are suddenly gone.
5
So I made this challenge for you.
6
Seven days, seven real-life conversations, shadowing every day.
7
Shadowing makes you speak the real words out loud at the exact same time as the characters speaking.
8
Not after, with them.
9
Today is day two of the challenge and today we're at the coffee shop.
10
As I promised, I brought the dog.
11
You are the customer, you walk in, you order, and things do not go smoothly.
12
Here are the words and phrases you need to know first. To go.
13
When you order something to go, you want it packed up so you can take it with you rather than sitting down inside.
14
Next for here.
15
For here means you are staying to sit down and have it inside.
16
It is the opposite of to go.
17
Then to customize your order.
18
When you customize your order, you are changing something about the standard drink, the size, the type of milk, or how sweet it is.
19
Next, oat milk.
20
Oat milk is a dairy-free alternative to regular milk made from oats.
21
It has become very common in coffee shops over the last few years.
22
Then a shot of espresso.
23
A shot of espresso is a small concentrated amount of coffee.
24
When you ask for an extra shot, you are making the whole drink stronger.
25
Next, decaf.
26
Decaf is short for decaffeinated.
27
It is coffee with the caffeine taken out.
28
People order it when they love the taste of coffee but want to avoid the caffeine.
29
Then room at the top.
30
When you ask for room at the top, you are asking the barista to leave a little space in the cup so you can add your own cream or milk.
31
Next, to charge someone.
32
To charge someone means to add a cost to their bill.
33
When the barista says we charge extra for that, it means they are adding that amount to your total.
34
Then, to ring that up.
35
To ring something up means to put the order into the register and calculate the total price.
36
And finally, hang on.
37
Hang on is a very common informal way of saying, wait a moment.
38
You will hear it constantly in everyday conversation.
39
By the way, before we get into the next conversation, I want to tell you about a handbook a lot of you have been asking about.
40
It's called 300 plus English words and expressions.
41
And it's the handbook that goes with what we are doing in this challenge.
42
The reason you freeze when you speak is not that you don't know the words.
43
Sometimes the words you know are not the ones natives use in conversation.
44
You learn delicious at school.
45
Native speakers will most often say, oh my god, this is so good.
46
You learn very tired, but natives be like, oh, I'm exhausted.
47
Same idea, totally different vocabulary, more emotion.
48
This handbook gives you over 300 of these expressions organized by situation with examples of how they are used in real sentences,
49
coffee shops, restaurants, small talk, work, dating, traveling, the kind of vocabulary that makes you sound natural instead of like a textbook.
50
It's a download, so you get it in your email a few minutes after you buy it.
51
And you can use it for shadowing too, which is exactly what we're doing today.
52
The link is in the description.
53
Now let's get into our today's conversation.
54
Ordering coffee.
55
Now just listen to the full conversation.
56
Get familiar with the words, the pacing, and the way it sounds in natural speech.
57
Hi there.
58
Welcome in.
59
What can I get started for you?
60
Hi.
61
Can I get a medium latte, please?
62
Absolutely.
63
Is that for here or to go?
64
To go, please.
65
Perfect.
66
And what kind of milk would you like?
67
We have whole, skim, oat, almond, and soy.
68
Oat milk, please.
69
Actually, wait.
70
Can I also add an extra shot of espresso? Of course.
71
So that is a medium oat milk latte with an extra shot.
72
You want any syrup in there?
73
Vanilla?
74
Caramel?
75
Hazelnut?
76
Hmm.
77
You know what?
78
Can I get half a pump of vanilla?
79
Half a pump?
80
Sure.
81
We can do that.
82
Just a tiny bit.
83
Not too sweet.
84
Oh, and actually, can you make a decaf?
85
I know that probably sounds strange with an extra shot, but I just genuinely love the taste of espresso without the caffeine.
86
Huh, honestly, you are not the first person to order that.
87
Decaf, double shot, oat milk latte, half pump vanilla.
88
Anything else I can add?
89
Actually, yes, sorry, one more thing.
90
Can you leave a little room at the top?
91
I like to add my own cream after.
92
No problem at all.
93
Just so you know, the extra shot does add to the price.
94
It is 75 cents on top.
95
Oh, that is completely fine, yeah.
96
Great.
97
And can I get a name for the order?
98
Alex.
99
Alex.
100
Perfect.
101
Cash or card today?
102
Card.
103
Actually, hang on.
104
Do you guys have any of those coffee cards?
105
Like a loyalty card or something?
106
We do.
107
Every 10 drinks, you get one free.
108
I can set that up for you right now if you want.
109
It only takes a second.
110
Oh yes, please, that would be great.
111
Cool.
112
Let me just grab one.
113
Okay, so I am going to stamp it once for today's order.
114
There you go.
115
Nine more to go.
116
Amazing, thank you.
117
So, what is my total?
118
So, with the extra shot that comes to $6.20.
119
Sorry, quick question.
120
Is the oat milk extra too, or just the shot?
121
Just the shot.
122
Oat milk is included in the base price here.
123
Oh, nice.
124
Good to know.
125
Perfect.
126
I will just need you to tap or insert whichever you prefer.
127
Okay, here's my card.
128
I will tap.
129
Great.
130
That has gone through.
131
So your order is a decaf oat milk latte, double shot, half pump vanilla, room at the top.
132
I will call out Alex when it is ready.
133
Should be about three to four minutes.
134
Perfect.
135
Oh, and is there a sleeve on that cup?
136
I always burn my hand.
137
Always.
138
Yes, we put a sleeve on all the to-go cups.
139
You are good.
140
Amazing.
141
Thank you so much. Of course.
142
Have a wonderful day.
143
You too, thanks.
144
Now it is your turn.
145
The conversation will play again.
146
And this time, say the customer's words out loud at the exact same time you hear them.
147
Same pace.
148
Do not wait.
149
Here we go.
150
Hi there.
151
Welcome in.
152
What can I get started for you?
153
Hi.
154
Can I get a medium latte, please?
155
Absolutely.
156
Is that for here or to go?
157

236
See you there and bye-bye.

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

- Los sonidos de “th”: smoothly /ˈsmuːðli/, cloth /klɒθ/

¿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.
