Shadowing Practice: I Opened A FAKE Apple Store - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
This is the Apple Store, and this is a fake Apple Store
2
that I opened 100 meters down the road just so I could give away free iPhones, free iPads and more. But why?
3
Because Apple prices have gone up so much over the years and their iPhones aren't even changing anymore.
4
Even their co-founder agrees with me, so someone needs to take a stand to stop this.
5
So I'm taking one for the team and taking on my old employer, Apple, and I'm going to force them to bring their prices down.
6
How?
7
By buying tons of Apple products
8
and giving them away for free in my own store to give back to my people of London.
9
But if I'm giving away Apple products for free, I'm not trying to get sued.
10
So I have to make sure everyone knows I'm not Apple.
11
So I'm gonna call our store, Not Apple.
12
Smart, right?
13
And you know I had to sneak the greatest movement of all time in there.
14
N-D-L.
15
I then found a store that was not only suitable, but right next door to the most famous Apple store in the country.
16
Oh my.
17
Look at this, man.
18
It looks sick.
19
And then I turned it into a masterpiece.
20
Yo, this is that!
21
This is that!
22
Our own Apple store for the day!
23
And what a day it will be for our lucky customers.
24
They will walk into our incredible Not Apple store
25
and see some of our top of the range Not iPhones on display
26
and our incredible branding where we throw shade at our competitor.
27
And then there's the wheel where customers will get an opportunity
28
of getting whatever Not Apple product they land on for free
29
and steering the wheel is the great Steve Jobless founder of this establishment.
30
What a man!
31
Then we have our genius bar in the back
32
which is managed by Tim Kuk where some customers will get an opportunity to win more products.
33
And finally downstairs we have our stock
34
and as you can probably guess this was ridiculously expensive
35
so this business plan will either run Apple out of business or make me bank money. Or both.
36
But enough time wasting I briefed my employees and we were all hyped up to go.
37
So this is the Apple Store,
38
no sorry, this is the not Apple Store presented to you by Steve Jobless and gang.
39
Let's find our first customer.
40
Excuse me sir, can you come into my shop?
41
No. We're giving away three phones, three everything.
42
I've got two iPhones but that's got another four.
43
I'll give you five.
44
Hey man, would you like to come into our store?
45
We've got a whole basement in there, a lot of people in that basement.
46
I'm offering something for free a free Apple product no matter
47
what what does it involve well maybe come with me and find out hmm bruh everyone welcome our newest customer
48
there's no need to be shy we're just a whole bunch of people in a room
49
and we could jump you at any time all you have
50
to do is spin the wheel you can do it my
51
friend okay that's a good spin oh what's it gonna be Apple Surprise!
52
That's the best one!
53
It's the best one!
54
Yes!
55
Yes!
56
What's your name?
57
Marcelo.
58
Marcelo!
59
It's an apple!
60
Yes!
61
Come on!
62
Yes!
63
Our first Apple Surprise of the day, and as you can probably tell, we're going to be giving away a lot of apples.
64
What's this?
65
It's not apple.
66
Take a spin at the wheel and you can get whatever you want.
67
I don't even know what this is, but I don't want this.
68
Yeah, because you're not a genius.
69
You're schmuck.
70
So how about you spin the wheel and just go straight for it.
71
Go go go Let's go schmuck Let's go I'm not iPhone
72
This is craziness There we go This is true Well done,
73
well done I like you I like you too schmuck Customer satisfaction was high
74
but the public was still confused because people had absolutely no idea what was going on.
75
How are we doing?
76
I was just wondering what was going on.
77
This is not Apple, they're everywhere.
78
You've never seen one?
79
No. The first time.
80
Is it better than Apple?
81
Of course it is, you want to find out?
82
Let's go.
83
No way.
84
Oh god.
85
I can't believe this man.
86
It's real.
87
It's real.
88
It's real.
89
Double Apple.
90
Whoa.
91
Some people were over the moon with their apples.
92
It's the Apple Lego!
93
It's the Apple Lego!
94
Some people got three AirPods and just didn't care.
95
They're not AirPods.
96
Wow.
97
Cool.
98
Have a nice day.
99
That's it?
100
Yep.
101
Bye.
102
Bye.
103
We were given away tens of thousands of pounds of free stuff yet business was still slow.
104
Which means I needed to come up with a plan to bring more people in.
105
I was expecting us to be packed right now and all of you are doing an awful job attracting customers.
106
We're still empty.
107
We're not a success yet.
108
So I'm going to have to take this into my own hands.
109
I'm going to the Apple Store to steal their customers.
110
Alright?
111
Anything you want to say, mate?
112
Let's do this.
113
Better.
114
Alright, let's do this.
115
So I went to steal them from the Apple Store.
116
Just go down the road.
117
You don't want to shop here.
118
Did you just pay for this?
119
How much did you pay for that?
120
One thousand.
121
One thousand for what? For that?
122
Listen, man, that's ridiculous.
123
Just go to Not Apple and you'll get it for free.
124
Let's go, granddad.
125
Make sure you go to the Not Apple Store.
126
Just want to steal it.
127
It's the Not Apple store, it's an incredible thing.
128
Line up, right now, away you go.
129
You look a bit shy and scared and nervous.
130
No, no, no, I'm searching for someone, I'm gonna buy something.
131
Don't worry, you don't have to buy anything anymore, okay?
132
Not Apple give away free products.
133
Be careful of these Apple employees because sometimes they spit inside of your iPhones and make sure they malfunction.
134
Trust me.
135
I was stealing Apple's customers while my own employees at Not Apple were really making the most of their time.
136
Please make an orderly line and go to the Not Apple store.
137
I can't actually present to the stores in our store.
138
Oh, I'm just feeling them.
139
Oh, they're mine now!
140
My name's Steve Jobless, I don't know if you know who I am.
141
I don't, I don't.
142
I thought it was Nico.
143
No, no, Nico, no, definitely not.
144
Please call me Steve, that's my name.
145
My name's Steve Jobless.
146
Please respect me, Apple, alright?
147
Because I will run you into the ground.
148
I will ask you to leave at a certain point.
149
If you keep presenting to people...
150
No, I'm not going to present anymore.
151
I'm not going to present.
152
You hear that?
153
They're telling me I can't present, but you can get free products just down the road.
154
I'm not going to trust you.
155
Take a chance.
156
Leap of faith, I'll take you there right now.
157
And now I definitely don't trust you.
158
I'm just going to show you a picture right now.
159
Now I really don't believe you.
160
That Apple logo isn't even...
161
Yeah, it's called Not Apple, look.
162
No, you're lying.
163
I'm being serious, I'm being honest.
164
All you have to do is spin a wheel.
165
Fine, fine, fine.
166
Thank you.
167
Hello, buddy.
168
Can I have a word with you, please?
169
I'm the singing manager of the store.
170
I just said your name's Nico, is that why?
171
I know, Steve Jobless.
172
I'm going to ask you please don't interact with our customers.
173
But what if they're my customers?
174
What if they're my customers?
175
What if they're my customers?
176
Yeah, I'll step out.
177
Guys, if you guys want to come as well, you can.
178
Free product, I've been twerking all my life.
179
Hey, respect man.
180
Big up.
181
My guy.
182
Apple's customers now belong to me, and I think my time in the Apple store was worth it, because business really started to pick up.
183
Wow!
184
Look how many people we got!
185
All these people we got from the Apple store!
186
But the first customer I had to serve was the man who refused to believe that this could be true.
187
You come.
188
You come right here.
189
I might be getting three apples for another one I'm not trying to believe it
190
You managed to claw him from apples graft If you get a free phone, will you cancel the order?
191
Yeah, of course it will Let's go!
192
Please Come on He's adding personality Come on Yes
193
What a day Someone get him a phone!
194
Now, you go back to Apple.
195
Cancel the order, call them schmucks.
196
Big up.
197
Okay.
198
Him in there, sleep jobless.
199
Didn't believe him.
200
Got a free iPhone, which is pretty great.
201
Who'd you prefer, Apple or not Apple?
202
Not Apple.
203
I didn't have to wait for it.
204
Social media hype had really started to take off
205
and there was a proper build-up of people outside
206
so I capitalised on this and sent one of my employees out on the streets to bring us more customers.
207
And while he was doing that, the customers were spinning the wheel people were posting the products they had won on Twitter.
208
An iPhone, free iPhone.
209
Instagram, TikTok.
210
Where is it?
211
Not Apple.
212
Pretty cool, let's see what happens.
213
And no one understood what was going on.
214
We then started giving people opportunities to win even bigger.
215
There they are.
216
I'm a sniffer or banana.
217
Now there's a lot of you.
218
I'll offer you a deal.
219
You'll see that one spin and whatever it lands on, you'll get.
220
Good to go, you two.
221
Good luck.
222
Good luck.
223
Jump for it.
224
Go on, lads.
225
Oh my my gosh!
226
You guys have emptied my pockets here today You're welcome
227
I'll hand them out Four iPads Thank you my friend Enjoy the iPads
228
I really hope you like them There we have it!
229
Unbelievable!
230
A family full of iPads The boys took them to the cleaners Get in there, happy days, Van Martin strikes again!
231
The queue outside was going all the way down the street, so this was the perfect chance for me to open up our genius bar, where people can compete for a chance to win a not Apple product.
232
iPhone 13 on the line.
233
How good are you guys with rhyming?
234
Good.
235
Name three words that rhyme with trigger.
236
Big R.
237
Big R.
238
Don't say it.
239
Snigger.
240
Well done!
241
Well done!
242
Flavoury mine!
243
You're getting airpods!
244
Yeah we will!
245
Respect!
246
That's no fun!
247
And just because you're a great person, you get no airpods.
248
And the giveaways continue!
249
I'll give your boyfriend a spin if you can hit up my guy, Tinkart, over here.
250
It doesn't have to be a conversation, it's a VA.
251
Yeah?
252
Both are you a couple?
253
Friends.
254
Friends?
255
Sorry man, I've never been there.
256
I'm still jobless.
257
I'm clear.
258
I need airpods.
259
She needs airpods!
260
Yeah!
261
I'll get the ice cream of airpods you know, because I already...
262
See, you want the airpods?
263
Yeah?
264
And now the not Apple store was going full steam ahead, business was booming.
265
They all had smiles on their faces and they were putting a smile on mine.
266
All except one guy.
267
My name is Shush.
268
You were the last person I wanted to win something in this whole day.
269
If it was up to me, you'd get this fist in your jaw.
270
How was your experience?
271
It was really bad.
272
Nico was really rude.
273
What prize did you win?
274
I won an iPad.
275
How was your experience bad if you won a free iPad?
276
He gave it to me for compensation.
277
Yeah, I don't know.
278
We were serving hundreds of customers.
279
We had so many winners, a few losers.
280
But with one person, we mix things up.
281
We've got the golden ticket.
282
All right.
283
We've got the golden ticket.
284
You need to come with me.
285
OK, my friends, so you're our lottery winner today, which means you've got a chance of winning not AirPods, a not iPhone, and a not iPad.
286
All you have to do is stick up this display poster.
287
We've done the first one for you.
288
It's super simple.
289
All you have to do is repeat this process, stick this protective leash, and stick the magnet to the board, okay?
290
Work it out before I finish this integration.
291
While they're doing that, I might as well tell you about Displate.
292
Displates are a high quality metal poster like the one you see right there.
293
It's great because there's thousands of genres.
294
Literally, if you scroll through the website, you'll see the huge selection which they have available.
295
The options are literally endless.
296
It's super easy to use and they've actually helped us put up some of the posters which you see in this store.
297
If you guys want to check out Displate, make sure you use my link in the description because if you use my link, you get access to some incredible discounts.
298
Just take a look at some of them here.
299
Okay, and that's the integration over so oh you finished Someone get these guys that Apple lottery.
300
I was having the time of my life giving out products
301
But Steve jobless needed to meet the people
302
so I put Tim cock in charge of giving out products while I went exploring Oh my god, that's a lot of people the line was massive Everyone had
303
come down to see what not Apple was about people from all walks of life even celebrities came down All right, the baby I've got a special present for you just
304
so you can listen to your tunes I know you make a lot of the babies.
305
Okay?
306
Crazy meeting you in person, bro.
307
I won't mention the fact you got cancelled as well.
308
But some of the public were still poisoned by Apple and were too proud to join us.
309
Excuse me, would you like some free products?
310
We're not into queuing.
311
Oh, you're not into queuing?
312
No, not really.
313
Mass consumerism.
314
Mass consumerism?
315
What's that?
316
This is not mass consumerism.
317
This is not Apple.
318
You just made up that word just there.
319
Mass consumerism.
320
Okay?
321
Yes, you did.
322
It's not a real word.
323
How about you mass consumer on home?
324
So what kind of fruit is that that's not an apple over there?
325
That's a not apple.
326
Not apple is a place that accepts everyone.
327
Nobody thought our tiny store could compete with the biggest company in the world, but we're doing it.
328
Tens of thousands of pounds worth of products had already been given out and everyone was so happy.
329
But we weren't done there.
330
If you look behind me, you'll see a store full of customers all lining up for the new not apple products.
331
You know why?
332
Because we don't overcharge our customers.
333
We change our products up.
334
And if you look at Apple, it's empty.
335
It's only a matter of time until I run this huge company into the ground.
336
And I guarantee if we compare the customer satisfaction, there's only one winner and I'll prove it.
337
Hi, guys.
338
So how's your service been today?
339
It's been OK.
340
How's your experience at Not Apple?
341
Amazing!
342
It was funny.
343
So how have Apple been for you today?
344
I've been made in a long time.
345
How's your experience at Not Apple?
346
Fantastic.
347
I am very happy.
348
How's your service been in the Apple store?
349
Who are you?
350
Steve Jobless.
351
Not Apple, not McDonald's, not everything!
352
The reviews were in and Not Apple was clear of the fake version of our store.
353
Customers were still being served and stock was flying off the shelves.
354
Tim Cook was doing a great job.
355
Tim!
356
You know what?
357
Just for that, we'll give it to you.
358
If you want free products, it's at Not Apple!
359
And then we just so happened to run into an ex-Apple employee.
360
My name is Steve Jobless, my friend.
361
Oh, Steve Jobless!
362
It's very nice to meet you.
363
I worked at Apple once.
364
You used to work for Apple?
365
I can't do it.
366
Señor, Señor, Señor.
367
I'll give you a free, not iPhone.
368
Come back.
369
Kill him.
370
He works for the enemy.
371
You used to work for Apple?
372
Yes.
373
I'll supersede you right to the front of the queue.
374
Really?
375
Yeah, we need you in here.
376
No, but I'm not sure I can be on camera and say it.
377
You're not sure you can be on camera?
378
Then your face is blurred.
379
Really?
380
Yeah.
381
Oh, no, I don't want to be blurred.
382
Okay, I'm blurred.
383
Oh.
384
This man used to work for Apple, and he's coming with us.
385
No, don't be scared.
386
You don't work for those joke men anymore.
387
Come, come, come.
388
So I took this former Apple employee into our store to treat him better than Apple ever did
389
and gave him a spin at the wheel.
390
He's landed on iPhone.
391
He's landed on not iPhone.
392
I can't believe it.
393
Congratulations.
394
I just have one question for you.
395
Did you ever get a free Apple store app from the Apple store?
396
Never.
397
Here you go.
398
Oh, like really?
399
Yes, it's yours.
400
This was groundbreaking.
401
Even former Apple employees couldn't believe what NotApple were doing for the people.
402
And we did it time and time again with the free NotApple products we were giving away.
403
Yeah, just take it out, take it out.
404
It could still be a scam, you know.
405
Oh wait, sorry.
406
What am I...
407
What am I...
408
Not iPhones, not iPads, and not Airpods were all flying off the shelves.
409
After after product was selling out until we only had one not iPhone remaining.
410
Okay my friends basically We have one phone left.
411
So we're gonna go super quick fire If you do not land on the not iPhone you will get nothing.
412
Thank you all for waiting.
413
I hope you're not disappointed This would give all the people
414
in line an equal opportunity of winning It's not like the first person was gonna land on not iPhone
415
and make the whole thing pointless.
416
Oh my gosh Fair play Congratulations.
417
Well done.
418
Our final customer.
419
Yeah!
420
Goodbye.
421
So we had served our final customer, not Apple have given out more products than my bank account can handle, but just meeting so many of you guys made the bankruptcy almost worth it.
422
Thank you everyone for coming out today.
423
We are sold out.
424
So please, if we could all head home, and hopefully I'll open up something again in the future.
425
Lots of love to all of you.
426
Big up.
427
That's great, thank you!
428
Even though these people won nothing, they were still happy.
429
Big up to them.
430
We did this to bring the people of London together and we definitely did.
431
So hopefully Apple can see what we've achieved today
432
and the joy their products can bring and maybe use this to stop bringing their prices up so much.
433
So we said our goodbyes, not Apple may be over, but the impact it's left will stick around for generations generations.
434
So as I leave the NotApple store one final time, all I ask is please don't sue me Apple because my bank account has been beaten down enough as it is.
435
And make sure you subscribe because one of you is getting a free iPhone.
436
Follow me on Instagram as well.

¿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.
