5
with my little brother Joaquin.
6
He edits these videos.
7
I decided to visit my parents Last minute,
8
around 4 p.m., but at 4 p.m.,
9
the traffic in Mexico City is crazy.
10
So, I decided to wait for the traffic to settle down.
11
Traffic never settles down in Mexico City,
12
but around 8 p.m., it's not too crazy anymore.
13
but there was still so much traffic.
14
I was sat in traffic for about two hours and then he finally started driving.
15
He drove all the way to my hometown where my dad picked me up in his car.
16
He drove his car to the bus station and he picked me up.
17
I hopped in and I sat in the front seat of the car.
18
Not the back seat, the front seat.
19
Because my mom wasn't there.
20
So I got to sit in the front seat.
21
I was a little hungry because I hadn't had any dinner yet.
22
So, my dad drove me to get some esquites.
23
Esquites have corn, mayonnaise, lime, tajim.
24
It's a mixture of good stuff.
25
It's the perfect late night snack.
26
We bought two eskites, one for me and one for my mom,
27
and we drove home.
28
We ate our eskites and we hung out,
29
listening to music, watching videos.
30
And the next morning, we all went to the cafe where they sell breakfast, coffee.
31
You can sit down and chat with friends or family while you eat breakfast.
32
I ordered a maple donut with bacon.
33
Mmm, that was the perfect combination.
34
Maple with bacon. So good.
35
The donut was fluffy and soft,
36
but crunchy on the outside.
37
I also ordered a omelet with spinach and I ordered a cappuccino.
38
My dad drove us all back home and we watched a movie called Roommates on Netflix.
39
It was really good.
40
It's one of those movies that keeps you on your toes,
41
just waiting for the next thing to happen.
42
It wasn't suspenseful or scary.
43
It was just frustrating
44
and just annoying to see how her roommate got away with everything again and again.
45
but it was really good.
46
Later, my dad drove me to my nail appointment.
47
As you can see, I got my nails done again.
48
I used to never get my nails done,
49
but lately, with my videos
50
and my rings I really love looking down
51
while I'm working and seeing my nails
52
and saying mmm those are cute nails I chatted
53
and I gossiped with the nail technician
54
and I loved my nails do you like them same as do you like them but quickly do Do you like them?
55
I decided on the color pink.
56
I don't know if pink is really my color,
57
but lately I've been really obsessed with pink.
58
I just bought a new purse with pink polka dots.
59
These are polka dots.
60
So, I thought, I think pink nails would go well with my new bag.
61
You know what I mean?
62
That's something I noticed, I say a lot.
63
Native speakers say it a lot.
64
Do you know what I mean?
65
Kind of to reaffirm that you understand.
66
So if I say, yeah,
67
I got my pink nails because they match my new bag.
68
And pink is just a pretty color.
69
Do you know what I mean?
70
You know what I mean?
71
Do you know what I mean?
72
That's something you could use just if you want to make sure that somebody understands your point, your idea.
73
You know what I mean?
74
After my mail appointment, I had some lunch with my mom and I took the bus back to my apartment.
75
I took a shower and I got ready because I had a techno event to go to.
76
Just an event where they play techno music.
77
I did my makeup.
78
I put some eyeshadow on, some lip gloss, and some cute earrings.
79
By the way, do you want me to make my next video about makeup,
80
the vocabulary, the steps in simple English?
81
Let me know.
82
I went to the techno event and I danced all night and the next morning I got breakfast at Tox.
83
Tox is a chain of restaurants.
84
It's very popular in Mexico.
85
Do you have any restaurant chains in your country?
86
If so, which one is your favorite and why?
87
I slept all day and then I went with my sister to walk around some cute bazaars.
88
and markets in Mexico City.
89
And I bought this necklace.
90
It's my favorite flower, the jacarandas, and they made it a necklace.
91
I love it.
92
It's my new favorite necklace.
93
I also recorded a few videos for the week.
94
I worked on my English community and then I went to sleep again.
95
It was a really special weekend.
96
I saw family, friends, and I spent time with myself.
97
What about you?
98
What did you do this weekend?
99
You know what I mean?
100
Try and integrate this phrase into a sentence you use today.
101
It's a fun phrase to use, I think.
102
Now, here goes the normal speed.
103
So, over the weekend, I took the bus to my parents' house, my mom and my dad.
104
But my dad was the only one who picked me up at the bus station.
105
We chatted in the car for a little bit, and I was a little hungry because I hadn't had anything for dinner.
106
So, he took me to get some esquites.
107
An esquite is a mixture of corn, mayonnaise, lime, tajin, sometimes cheese.
108
But I don't eat that much cheese because it's bad for my acne.
109
We all hung out, we ate esquites together, and we listened to music and watched YouTube videos.
110
next day we went to my favorite cafe in my hometown
111
and I ordered the most delicious donut it was a maple
112
donut with sprinkles of bacon on top the bacon wasn't too crispy
113
or too soggy it was perfect and
114
so was the donut the donut was fluffy and soft on the inside
115
but the outer layer was crunchy where the maple was it
116
was really good I also ordered an omelet with spinach and I had a cappuccino coffee.
117
Then my dad drove us home and we watched a movie on Netflix called Roommates.
118
It's really good, but it just keeps you on your toes.
119
It keeps you kind of on the edge of your seat because you're like, what's going to happen next?
120
What's she going to do to her next?
121
It was a little frustrating to watch, but really interesting.
122
Then my dad drove me to my nail appointment.
123
I got my nails done and I chatted and gossiped with my nail technician.
124
I got pink to match some accessories that I've been buying.
125
I just bought this brown purse with pink polka dots and I thought that my nails would match it perfectly.
126
After that, I took my bus back to my apartment and I rushed to take a quick shower.
127
I did some quick makeup, eyeshadow, put on some cute earrings, and I head to a techno event with my friends.
128
We danced all night and then we had breakfast together at Tocs.
129
It's a chain of restaurants in Mexico that's very popular.
130
And I think I ordered some enchiladas suizas.
131
If you've never had enchiladas suizas before, if you ever go to Mexico, you need to try them.

Gramática en este vídeo
Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | I've been · you've never had |
| Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hace | was sat · I've been really obsessed |
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — verbos seguidos de la forma en -ing | started driving · love looking · stop learning |
| Futuro con “going to” be going to + verbo — un plan o algo que se ve venir | am going to tell · what's going to happen · What's she going to do |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 20 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I'm, I've, wasn't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, technician /tɛkˈnɪʃən/, rush /ɹʌʃ/, delicious /dɪˈlɪ.ʃəs/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: complicated /ˈkɑm.plɪˌkeɪ.tɪd/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, accessory /əkˈsɛs.(ə.)ɹi/, cappuccino /ˌkæpəˈt͡ʃinoʊ/, enchilada /ˌɛn.t͡ʃɪˈlɑ.də/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: scary /ˈskɛə.ɹi/, snack /snæk/, spinach /ˈspɪnɪt͡ʃ/, sprinkle /ˈspɹɪŋkəl/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, mayonnaise /ˌmeɪ.əˈneɪz/, bazaar /bəˈzɑɹ/
- /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: hungry /ˈhʌŋ.ɡɹi/, hometown /ˈhoʊmˌtaʊn/, hop /hɒp/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como nail, bacon, maple.
¿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.
