Shadowing Practice: I moved to Brooklyn - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
We should make this video I moved in one day.
2
Ultimate New York City move.
3
I won't do that, but I could.
4
Oh, hello.
5
So today is Friday, September 19th.
6
The movers are coming.
7
September 24th.
8
So I have five days to pack up everything
9
and I have a very very busy weekend
10
and work days ahead of me so it's not like I have all the time in the world.
11
Anyways I figured if inspiration strikes you should get a little bit done.
12
So let's let's pack up a few things here.
13
I'm also in the middle of filming another video but I wanted to take a break and do something a little different.
14
All right these are all mine.
15
Oh look how cute this is from one of my friends Dan.
16
It's a teacup with a turtle in there.
17
Isn't that cute?
18
Oh!
19
What's up, turtle gang?
20
We're making progress.
21
Everything has to get a little crazy before it gets organized.
22
But we're filling up a bag one by one.
23
I'm here, too.
24
A bunch of my books and my things.
25
Anything else?
26
What do you think?
27
no more insights i'll cut it out
28
if you say something okay all right without further ado check in soon we'll be further along
29
and yeah this is a lot
30
i'm getting kind of tired are you no okay all right pause we're making progress guys
31
if you've been around
32
and you were here for my last move two years ago i showed you these huge bins
33
that have just been so so helpful they fit so much stuff
34
but exciting news mid-pack i just got a text from a
35
friend of mine who has extra tickets to chapel rhone tonight
36
at forest hills i was there a couple days ago for
37
another concert it is just the best venue in my opinion in new york city it's outdoor it's not small
38
but it's not huge and it's just the best energy
39
so i am so excited point being i need to make some progress over the next like two
40
and a half hours before i have to leave it's already looking
41
so empty it's crazy without the couch there all right back to playing chapel will i pack play
42
End of the weekend and oh my god Chapel Road was so so good.
43
It was just a really nice weekend.
44
As I got into bed tonight I just realized I only have three more nights in this bed.
45
Gonna make the most of it.
46
Get some good sleep.
47
I have a very long day of packing ahead of me.
48
I have to edit a video all day tomorrow
49
and then I only have one day left after
50
that to pack up the apartment
51
so somehow even last time I moved I was not self-employed I had a corporate job
52
and so it kind of made sense then
53
that things were very very last minute because I was working such long hours
54
and like just actually did not have time to pack until
55
a few days before this time I probably could have started a little sooner oh well you live
56
and you learn okay I'm actually going to bed at a reasonable hour now
57
because I want to wake up early and get started.
58
So anyways, good night.
59
Howdy.
60
Okay.
61
It is a day and a half before I move out of East Village.
62
As a little work break, I thought I would come look at the doggos.
63
Probably for the last time, second to last time.
64
But I come here all the time.
65
I love the Tompkins Square Park, Dock Park.
66
There's a lot of good inventory.
67
I just pet that handsome boy for a few minutes and he was perfect.
68
Sometimes when it's a tough working day and I'm out walking and I see a cute dog, I'm like, it would be good for me to pet this dog if the owner's cool with it.
69
Release some oxytocin.
70
Goodbye, my bodega.
71
Goodbye, la la laundry that I never use, but it's really cool.
72
It's half plant store, half laundry.
73
Goodbye, blue accented buildings also i never really said it officially for safety
74
but i feel like it's pretty obvious based off of everything
75
that i always film in my new york vlogs
76
that i live in the east village and
77
if you are moving to new york for the first time
78
people ask me this a lot like what neighborhoods should you
79
consider i am a huge fan of the east village
80
and think it is just like such a good intro to new york it is
81
so much fun unlimited cuisine coffee shops bunch of young folks
82
great energy dirty in areas lots of rats in areas but that's new york baby that's showbiz
83
good morning god i wish i could be more chipper for
84
you guys on my last morning here well i guess i'll be here tomorrow morning
85
but then the movers come
86
but the reality is i do not fall asleep until 4
87
20 a.m actually 4 20 i'm not making a joke so it's troubleshooting getting my video uploaded
88
and then it's pretty funny it is very very predictable that
89
if i'm on my computer uploading something
90
or editing like late into the night i will not be able to fall asleep for like hours after
91
that so it was like that on steroids and now i have to pack up my kind of whole life today
92
in one day we should make this video i moved in
93
one day alternate new york city move i won't do that
94
but i could i say this as though it's literally not my fault
95
that i put it off until the last minute anyway let's get this day started
96
got a beautiful day to pack small wins i'm not even feeling
97
that delirious yet i know it's gonna hit me in a
98
few hours is my guess i actually have to work a bit before i even start packing
99
but uh let's open the rest of my nose first i know what it takes to free us i hope
100
that you know what i have an ungodly amount to do
101
but i still think there's always time to go outside i'm stepping over all of my things here
102
I have a realization that I've already packed my espresso machine,
103
but good news is I have pretty much a full leftover thermos from the coffee shop I was at yesterday, which I can pour over ice.
104
Economical.
105
It's good coffee, too.
106
I wouldn't do this if this was mid-coffee, but it's good coffee.
107
I also could go buy some, but we don't have time for that.
108
And I packed my creatine and all my supplements too.
109
I'm gonna freak out.
110
I'm not gonna be performing at my tip top level.
111
Okay, absolutely classic.
112
I decided not to film me hyper speed cleaning this off.
113
Coffee grounds.
114
But I'm done with the kitchen.
115
Done, done, done.
116
I did most of it the other day with my friend of the romantic persuasion who helped me.
117
But yeah, now I'm like really done.
118
There's still room in that final box over here.
119
Can you see?
120
And so I don't always room in a box.
121
And so if there's anything upstairs, I could come down here or whatever.
122
I'm gonna wait to tape it up.
123
Okay, so I'm throwing away junk, right?
124
And I'm kind of like, is this gonna be worth something?
125
I kind of want to save it as a relic, but I'm also like, I don't need it.
126
I don't need it.
127
I'm really not good at parting ways with the trinkets.
128
Okay guys, a couple hours later since I last took a clip and definitely making progress.
129
It doesn't feel like I am, but I am.
130
Problem is, I tell myself if I just put everything in this pile right here, then I'll just pick away at it little by little.
131
And then I leave the whole entire pile right there.
132
So let's pick at it a little bit.
133
It's the Led Zeppelin physical graffiti album.
134
Kind of neat.
135
Okay, I'm taking a break for dinner.
136
Super, super hungry.
137
I'm extremely irritable right now.
138
I'm not going to lie.
139
The four hours of sleep are catching up to me
140
because I've just kind of been going non-stop for all day
141
and all day yesterday It's been a lot of stressful last few days, but I'm happy I'm going to my favorite like consistently favorite restaurant in East Village
142
that I go to all the time And
143
that I will still come back to even
144
when I don't live here anymore It's Vietnamese Hanoi house in East Village on St. Mark's highly recommend
145
Chicken pho I did a great job filming before my food game.
146
It was really, really good.
147
In my belly.
148
There it is again.
149
Physical graffiti, album cover, lead zeppelin.
150
You know how they got their name?
151
Critics said about the band early on that they're going to drown like a lead zeppelin.
152
That's how they got it.
153
I think that's kind of creative and fun.
154
What if I named my YouTube channel based off a hate comment?
155
Stupid and ugly LLC.
156
Dessert time.
157

161

162

163

165
Time flies when you're having fun.
166
I also filmed here with Shervin.
167
There's so many memories in every corner of East Village for me, for real.
168
The neighborhood ice cream spot.
169
And we have to go back and finish packing.
170
Okay, done.
171
Okay, fine, we'll set.
172

173

174
Okay, this is diluted content.
175
We need to focus.
176
Back to packing.
177
It doesn't look clean, but I'm done.
178
At a record time of 10, 12 p.m.
179
But it does feel like it's 4 a.m just because I've been at this all day.
180
But we're done and I'll actually get some sleep tonight.
181
They come anywhere from 9 to 11 a.m tomorrow.
182
But wow, this is cray.
183
Last night.
184
I was saying earlier at dinner that it's just been such a busy couple days
185
that I haven't felt enough levity to be able to feel nostalgic yet, but it's hitting me now that the room is empty.
186
I just have this weird light on because I took my sconces down.
187
So, good night.
188
It's the day.
189
And I just got the call from Pizza Cake that they will be here in 15 minutes.
190
And I just have a few more things to do, like tape some final boxes together and put my sheets into a bag so I can do that right now.
191
And I'll be good.
192
I'm trying to get all my bedding in one trash bag so I can just unpack it.
193
It's amazing.
194

195

196

197

203

204
There's the truck.
205

206

207

In my new place.
216
A little sneak preview.
217
Hello, this is Taylor.
218
The place where I truly started to feel my footing in the city.
219
And I think that that speaks volumes to how special this place is.
220
It is not for everyone.
221
It's really not.
222
But it is for me.
223
The place where I built new friendships and deepened ones that mattered the most.
224
The place where I took the biggest risk of my life and never looked back.
225
I have left management consulting forever.
226
YouTube revenue streams.
227
I am now a full-time creator, like for real, for real this time.
228
The place where small routines added up to a version of me that I'm truly proud of.
229
And the apartment that held me steady through every upload, every pivot, every plane ride.
230
It's autumn in New York City.
231
A freezing day, actually below freezing day.

It's springtime, baby.

¿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.
