Shadowing Practice: LEARN ENGLISH with This Vlog | International Festival 🌍 - Learn English Speaking with Video

Today let's learn English together at the biggest international festival here in Moscow.

Okay, so I arrived to the place where the festival is happening.

It's right there.

I'm in a walk there now.

But look at this place.

This is the subway.

I walked out of the subway.

And first of all, there is a huge rocket over there on the top.

There is a rocket.

Glor Cosmas maybe.

And a TV tower by the way.

The tallest TV tower in our city.

And here right now I'm going to visit an international festival.

We are going to be at the festival today.

And this festival represents many, many countries from all over the world.

I guess like around 20 countries.

As well as just Russian regions.

So it's dedicated to travel and stuff.

We're gonna maybe meet many, many foreigners today and learn about other cultures.

I hope so.

Maybe try some food, listen to music.

This is like the main entrance into the sky where into the festival.

Parking lot for scooters.

Thank you.

Look, an observation wheel.

Huge wheel.

Like apparently the biggest in our city.

Wow!

Look at that!

And by the way, that festival is going to be so big.

It covers such a huge area

that I even have a map on my phone with this festival because there are so many, many areas.

And each area dedicated to a certain country or a certain region. So yeah.

My first mission is to find a foreigner area, you know, about traveling abroad.

I heard there are areas dedicated to China, to Latin America.

Whoa!

That's the main entrance.

Oh my gosh!

I don't know.

Wow!

Yeah, that's the map that I was talking about.

That what I was talking about.

A map.

Just kind of bike.

Festival.

Look, there are so many activities around that I don't want to miss anything. So...

I will not be in a hurry.

By the way, today is the last day of this festival.

It's been going on for four days already.

That's the last, the fourth day.

So we still got couple of hours left and I will not be in a hurry.

I want to take a look at everything and try a lot of stuff.

Look at that.

I'm sure there are going to be a lot of tourists, not only locals, but many, many people.

What is that?

Like a god?

That's a god!

Hey!

That's great!

And there was a big screen.

Look at that screen.

It shows nature.

Over that region.

Forests, rivers, national clothing, by the way.

National clothes.

If you want, you can just take a look at this.

this kind of national traditional hats, cap.

And right here by the way behind these stands, these are fountains and small garden.

All right.

Many different souvenirs.

Wow, that's a huge suitcase.

Suitcase.

I hear that they are playing some game.

What kind of game are they playing, by the way?

Wait.

Oh, they are playing Rock, Paper, Scissors.

They are playing Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Alright.

1, 2, 3!

What's the price?

The winner is 3 :0!

We are celebrating you!

But you, friends, will also give us our gifts.

There are roller coasters over there.

Purple region.

Everything is purple.

And after that, after exploring Russian regions, we will go deeper down the street and see foreign countries.

first exam at uni.

The session is starting and I'm not really prepared very well so wish me luck.

I just need luck to pass that exam and after that I'm gonna have two more exams and officially,

officially summer break.

And I'm also thinking about and maybe I will also make a vlog as we watch in World Cup.

Especially when playoff starts.

The main fountain is here.

So, as we pass this fountain,

right over there, behind the fountain, is going to be international area.

And I'm a YouTuber.

I really love your country because the nature is so beautiful.

160

Have you visited?

161

162

Would you like to?

163

Yes, definitely.

164

I would like to visit your country.

165

Hey, how are you doing?

166

Maybe we can do something together.

167

Okay, so let me tell you something about Sri Lanka.

168

Sri Lanka has over 2500 years history.

169

We have a recorded history of Tustan.

170

We have a recorded history of about 2200 years of our kings.

171

That's a long time.

172

That is a long time.

173

That was a palace built in the forest somewhere.

174

In the forest on a hill.

175

They took the water up to the hill.

176

They have ponds.

177

Engineering, the infrastructure.

178

That's actually insane.

179

The biggest cat in Sri Lanka is the leopard.

180

And they are just walking around in the streets?

181

Not on the streets, in the forest.

182

Not on the streets, in the forest.

183

But in the forest, so you see, the leopard lives in Africa, in India and Sri Lanka.

184

In India, the leopard is hiding from the tiger.

185

Because if the tiger sees the leopard, the tiger kills the leopard.

186

In Africa, the leopard is hiding from the cheetah and the lion.

187

Because if they cross paths, the leopard gets killed.

188

But in Sri Lanka there is nobody to challenge the leopard.

189

He is the biggest guy.

190

He is the top of the food chain.

191

So he is roaming freely.

192

Nobody is trying to bite the leopard.

193

So he is very free in Sri Lanka.

194

So do you basically live in Sri Lanka and just came here in Russia or are you based in Russia?

195

I am based in Sri Lanka.

196

I am here with my company.

197

I will show you.

198

So you are the head here, right?

199

I am not the head here, but I am representing one of the companies.

200

That is my company.

201

We got some food right here.

202

Yeah, can I get food?

203

Thank you, thank you.

204

It's a nice place by the way.

205

It's beautiful.

206

Ocean, beaches, you can do...

207

208

209

¿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.
