Shadowing Practice: Sisterhood, Mindset & Gratitude - Learn English Speaking with Video

i don't see that delusional people would say oh don't say that gratitude gratitude gratitude

because i'm being attacked whoa you would think

that her grown ass age i really didn't want to tell you guys i've read yours

so who's guys we got a new camera it's the i don't know

if you can tell we got the osmo four pocket four we had the three

but already it looks better i feel like growing up i was the most positive growing up yeah

and sada might be the most pessimistic Sorry.

Maybe Sada was the most pessimistic, and maybe Jude's somewhere in the middle?

Yeah, I think I'm closer to Sada than closer to you.

We had a very adventurous childhood, so we were constantly distracted.

What do we really know about what our characters were like when we were super young?

We were all unhinged.

I do know that.

Yeah, me too.

It was because we were always having fun with each other.

A lot of kids are unhinged like that too.

They're playful, they don't care about how they're being perceived and stuff like that.

They're just free yeah i remember omna talking about manifestation a

lot like five years ago yeah 20 no no actually sorry 2022 i think 22

or 23 not in 2020 or 2021 when you first kovid 2019

when you first read the secret and the power of now you were younger than that

when i first first i never read the power of now

really yeah no i think maybe you did i read that other one by that guy that i gave to you

that changes itself no that's the one i gave you the one

that you're talking about is becoming supernatural yeah

that one all i remember is reading the secret i don't know

if i was manifesting

but i was implementing law of attraction before manifesting i think like just having

that positive mindset ever since reading the secret obviously in the secret you end up finding out

that this secret is basically law of attraction

and just whatever you think in your mind should be what

you want to attract you're going to think a bunch of

negative things you're going to attract negativity you're going to think

a bunch of positive things you're going to attract positivity that's basically sums up the secret like really briefly

and quickly i never read the book i remember you always

trying to make me read it i never actually read it

i sometimes i wonder i'm like would i even be as positive as i am

if it wasn't for reading the book back because i was really young

when i read the book

so i feel like it did have a big i don't it was like jordan so yeah

so that was 2014 and prior so like middle school

that is really that's really young yeah i feel like it's

i think it's it makes sense to attribute a lot of your positivity to reading

that book at such a young age but i also think

that a lot of it has to do with being the oldest i was gonna say yeah

so it's kind of tough like naturally you set the tone yeah

and like i feel like you felt that pressure to set the tone especially

because like me

and sloida struggled a lot i don't know though i feel

like at a certain point in my life yeah after covid

maybe i felt like i had to set the tone

but in the beginning i don't think i had to set

the tone i was really just being myself yeah that's true

you know it's kind of tough like young me was very like

i don't know delusional people would say oh you know you didn't have

that sort of mindset yeah sometimes it's good to be delusional like yeah certain things yeah in a positive way

that That is, yeah.

Like having a positive mindset and like having manifestations

and like having those thoughts is almost like delusion because it's not true yet.

Yeah.

You're like speaking it into existence for what to happen to you.

But I feel like sometimes using the word delusional can be misleading because like you can also say hopeful.

Yeah, technically the same thing.

Yeah, it's true.

Like I understand why people use that word.

Yeah, because people do.

People do.

Like they say be delusional to the point.

Yeah.

I feel so grateful that we were able to have each other to like talk through things

because like that's almost like a form of.. is a form

of therapy especially talking to people who like go through this

the same thing as you like living like you know like just like

because we're sisters like we go through similar things yeah

and the funny thing is because

when it has to do with positivity specifically i feel like before like i want to say maybe during covid

or pre-covid when we when you guys used to talk about stuff

that like bothered you or just like you know

when you're just down

and you're just like not really seeing the light at the end of the tunnel i feel like

when you guys used to come to me with that i feel I feel like I used to just be like, no, no, no. Like positive thinking, positive, positive, positive.

And I never, I feel like wanted to like engage in conversations with you guys that are like, okay, yeah, let's just like sulk for a second.

And I feel like it took me a few years to be like, okay, yeah, let's sulk.

And then after we have that sulking conversation, then we can talk about, okay, now let's just like have more of a positive outlook, positive mindset.

I don't, I don't see that really i don't see that

because i never felt like when i never felt like you were trying to

change the change the tone of the conversation like i feel

like we always took our time digesting it i never really

i feel for me yeah i just thought i was gonna say

that too yeah like I think that your sulking was like you being quiet.

Really?

Yeah, that's what I remember.

You're usually quiet.

Like, yeah.

I have a very different perspective on that.

Because I never felt like Omni was being quiet.

Like, you mean when we would discuss like something that happened that like threw us off or was like...

No, I remember...

No, no, no. Threw us off.

100

There's a...

101

I remember you guys...

102

Actually, I was the quiet one yeah yeah yeah

103

and i'm just absorbing yeah that's like that i remember yeah yeah i know

104

that when we

105

when we were having an earlier discussion about like adapting a

106

positive mindset leaning on each other has always helped me

107

so much like whenever i would have like any any sort

108

of moment of feeling emotionally overwhelmed like i was always

109

so quick to lean on you guys

110

but i feel like now now in the past few months

111

like i'm able to like take a second to digest situations before like i call you guys

112

or i come to you guys i did learn the importance of

113

that through therapy but i remember like the first therapist

114

that i spoke to like the first thing she said to me

115

when i would like express to her like the things

116

that were affecting my mental health or the things

117

that were affecting my mindset she always asked me like do you talk to anyone about it

118

and i would always tell i would always tell my therapists like

119

that we talk in depth about the things

120

that have happened in our lives and they always emphasized how important

121

that is so i think i attribute a lot of my personal growth to the important

122

and uncomfortable conversations

123

that we encourage each other to have yeah throughout our lives

124

yeah we just talk about everything that's the thing guys

125

and we're so lucky though because like if you're an only child or

126

if you have a broken relationship with like your immediate family

127

members yeah i mean not everybody has siblings like it's

128

because people can have this relationship with their parents too yeah while like

129

our conversations

130

and leaning on each other help me with my positive mindset i feel like well this is kind of linked

131

because we talk about practicing gratitude and like reminding ourselves of things

132

that we should be grateful for like the most simple simple things

133

that we take for granted every day like health yeah that's always my birthday wish

134

health don't say that you can't ever say your wish that's mine too but you can never say that

135

that's not a thing yes it is no it's not i feel like a positive mindset and practicing

136

gratitude is the perfect bridge link to manifestation oh yeah

137

because to manifest you have to obviously be in a positive

138

state of mind you have to be in a very grateful state of mind

139

when you manifest it's very much so i am not i will

140

so it's like your current state you got to really close

141

your eyes see your reality before your reality becomes your reality you have to feel

142

like it's really happening to you

143

and then it happens to you i swear to god it's the creepiest thing ever

144

but seriously you can manifest things in your life like actually genuinely there was something

145

that i manifested three years ago like to the t i wrote it down in my book

146

and as i was saying before that guy just interrupted us um there was something

147

that i manifested three years ago

148

that was like literally guys specific to the t like to

149

the t i wrote it down i listened into it in my headphones on this app

150

that like allows you to repeat affirmations basically i was affirming a few things

151

and every single thing

152

that i really wanted i actually got like actually i know i sound crazy

153

but seriously it's really creepy like i'll go back

154

and i'll read the stuff that i had written down

155

and it's like word for word like crazy i remember when

156

that happened i was like time to manage change now then

157

she started believing it literally it's a good thing it's like happened to me too honestly yeah right

158

when i just shifted my mindset i found

159

and i know it's not for everyone but i got lucky like right

160

when i shifted my mindset a few months later like things started looking up for me like mentally

161

and like just in my life yeah

162

but also it wasn't not an overnight situation not to be

163

misleading in any way like there was a lot of work

164

that was put in before any of us couldn't ever get to

165

that point started yeah like i can't be like oh my

166

mindset's positive now yeah yeah it wasn't like an overnight thing for

167

so long i told them like i was just like rolled

168

my eyes like yeah like easier said than time yeah easier said than done

169

because like i was in such a bad mental state

170

that like i at the time could not see the light

171

at the end of the tunnel your time is like the only thing

172

that helped me with that to be honest with you

173

but also i know yeah

174

and i feel like you really did start practicing gratitude i

175

feel like you did with therapy gratitude gratitude gratitude I feel like for me, a lot of the times where I felt the motivation to manifest

176

and to do my affirmations and to have this where I'm talking in my head about things that I want.

177

Care of subconscious.

178

Yeah, whatever.

179

I would do that when things are really bad and I'm really stressed and almost in a state of desperation.

180

But I remember you telling me.

181

That's not good.

182

It's so not good.

183

Yeah, it's not good.

184

It has to be part of your routine, not just what you turn to personally find it hard to like get it in my routine

185

when i'm like live like in a more positive mindset

186

or like good things are happening around me like it's harder

187

for me to be like oh manifest oh manifest oh affirmations

188

because i'm just like i also like i struggle with it

189

like i always have like it's not my routine i also

190

don't journal either like it's yeah that's also what i wanted to add is

191

that i i remember for

192

so many years i would try to encourage you to journal

193

you did journal in a different you actually did a bit of both kinds of journaling like gratitude affirmations manifestations

194

but also just like day-to-day writing yeah like you did do

195

a bit of both yeah i've always done like a bit of both

196

and like when i go back

197

and i look at my old journal entries what a whirlwind i did

198

but i do large regret yeah it's really intense me too see that's

199

when i started going back

200

and reading myself i'm like i don't want to write anything down anymore yeah yeah

201

but like it's no one's gonna read it ever yeah i mean i mean i've read yours

202

so when i go back

203

and i read my old journal entries you guys the one thing

204

that i had consistently was to become a less reactive person

205

and i feel like you wow how much i've calmed down there yeah like

206

that was such a personal goal of mine i had a lot of other affirmations

207

but the one that i would say was the most consistent

208

because it was such a priority for me

209

because i would just reflect on certain situations

210

and just wish i was more composed

211

and was able to emotionally regulate in the moment

212

and i really like that was the one

213

that was like i like i hope i like not i hope

214

but i am like i'm not reactive yeah i am less reactive

215

and now i'm just like i feel like i've come out

216

on the other side yeah in terms of how we've navigated hardship

217

and like our relationship with just like healing in general

218

and becoming the best versions of ourselves like we attribute a lot of

219

that to each growth to sisterhood yeah and supporting one another

220

but that's because we grew up kind of needing to rely on each other lean on each other yeah

221

so i think we had a lot of time together

222

and although that could have turned maybe not

223

so positive i think it worked out really well for us yeah i think a big part of our relationship

224

and like how we support each other is holding each other

225

accountable like i feel like it's such a blessing really i would say more like uplifting each other okay maybe

226

that was maybe that's a not the best way to say it i guess yeah maybe supporting each other

227

and like empowering each other is a better way to frame it more

228

so like when someone does something wrong we're always like it's okay like yeah you shouldn't have done

229

that by the day you're human and like understanding where

230

that stemmed from and why you did what you did understanding where

231

that stems from why you did most importantly yeah so you kind of avoid it in the future not just like

232

i feel like holding each other accountable sounds a little i

233

think you guys freak out on me it's like i do something that's not true you yeah no you think

234

that but we're always like for a reason why would you do

235

that it's a freak out yeah 10 minutes

236

and then it's like no it's not it happened the other day

237

when i when i can you learn it yeah when i accidentally told

238

okay because that's something that's obviously so private you would think

239

that her grown ass age plus 20 years old you wouldn't do something like

240

that that's why i just didn't think it was serious

241

and then you guys just really like okay that's a good one to bring up though

242

because is there another one yeah what what when you almost got scammed oh that's fine

243

yeah that was it yeah i'm gonna like say that we do not first approach each other with calmness.

244

We don't.

245

We freak out at each other, obviously.

246

So that's not true.

247

I- what do you mean?

248

It's only when it's something like jump scare surprising.

249

It's like, why would you do something like that?

250

Maybe that's your experience with us, which is fair.

251

Because I'm the youngest.

252

I'm getting told off all the time.

253

No, because she does stuff that's like- I feel like you're- I

254

feel like you're maybe drawing from the- You do stuff that's like that too, but no one can see.

255

Like what?

256

Oh, good one.

257

No, because me, the difference between me and you- I had to take your side, pause.

258

Because we got a bigger opponent on the table.

259

Okay, no, but pause.

260

From the jump, usually when I mess up, like that time when I did it, I was like, oh my god, I don't know why that, why is it done?

261

I can't believe that happened.

262

And I'm already freaking out, like, why would I do that?

263

Whereas Sada's like, what do you mean?

264

That's fine.

265

It's not even a bad thing.

266

And we're like- Of course I'm defensive because I'm being attacked.

267

Whoa, whoa.

268

No, Sada.

269

You're never being attacked, Sada.

270

I said I come to the foreground right away, like, I don't know why I did that, I shouldn't have done that.

271

This is so stupid like spiraling

272

so then yeah we're not going to add fuel to the

273

fire yeah it's about it whereas you come like what do you mean it wasn't even bad

274

and it's like how do you not exactly sometimes yeah it's

275

sometimes i feel like i have to be more like no you can't do this hello what's wrong i'm shocked

276

that she's even like thinking that this is okay that's why yeah so you're probably like

277

overall you're thinking that we approach things with with such intensity

278

because you're drawing on the most extreme examples in the most

279

extreme example she's not like guys i should have done

280

that yeah yeah but

281

because she doesn't think she doesn't have to do until she has a conversation with us

282

and we're like wait what like those two examples i can't think of many others

283

but those those because i feel like

284

when you both approached me like i didn't i don't know why i didn't i shouldn't have done

285

that i'm always like okay like they already see what's wrong

286

i'm gonna i'm gonna say yeah you shouldn't have done that

287

but like okay it's fine like how do we problem solve now That's definitely how I perceive it

288

because every time I have to tell you something that I really don't want to tell you, first of all, I make sure to preface the conversation with I really didn't want to tell you.

289

Yeah, you do.

290

Immediately I'm like, okay, I have to call now.

291

See, that's the thing is you're not, is what I wanted to say.

292

You are, and Sada, you, it's like so different, like how I feel when something has happened or I've done something that I'm like, oh.

293

Can I say something?

294

Can I finish my sentence?

295

But I know exactly why this happens and it's because I hold you to such a high Still not fair, so does all time No,

296

but I hold you higher It doesn't matter Because you're my older sister Yeah, I'm just trying to explain to you, I know it's not fair I acknowledge it's not fair

297

but I'm just trying to explain to you that I know that's why

298

And I'm getting better at it The way that you judge me So basically Sara, what you think No What you perceive us turns out is you

299

Let's be fair and we all have our moments where we maybe act Not in the best way, the most supportive way, which is completely normal.

300

But what about me?

301

You attacked Omna and I attacked you, but no one came for me.

302

Because you just don't really care.

303

You're very neutral.

304

What?

305

I don't care is the bad things happen?

306

Unfair to say.

307

I think he reacts calmly.

308

I don't think that you react.

309

You do.

310

You do.

311

In a way that's like, I shouldn't have told her.

312

I never feel that way.

313

I feel like I'm always more scared to tell Omna things than Jude.

314

Always. To be honest.

315

And I'm always more scared to tell you things than Omna.

316

And how about you? neutral you don't feel fear i think neutral no fear maybe

317

because she's younger than me

318

and i still thought you over omna this started off as a manifestation a no positive affirmation

319

and now we've turned it into a therapy session no we've

320

turned it into compare a point of comparison across the board i think the bottom line is is

321

that everybody should try to make an effort to

322

remind themselves to have a positive mindset even when it's i feel like

323

so silly things because i I just know the state that people can be in when they're taking it.

324

And it's okay.

325

Sulk in it, sulk in it.

326

But find some person that you can confide in.

327

Support.

328

Some sort of support where you're able to kind of look at the light under the tunnel

329

so they can help you, encourage you.

330

Like little things.

331

Not like everything is great, everything is great.

332

But like little things to be grateful and just remind yourself.

333

And also finding whatever outlet works for you.

334

We didn't really discuss everything at length.

335

But aside from like journaling and practicing gratitude

336

and having important conversations with people that understand you

337

and support you there are plenty of other outlets like meditation

338

working out well working out has been such a consistent one for us for years

339

that has helped a lot so it's really just trial

340

and error and experimentation to see what works for you okay

341

that was so fun it really was

342

that was like a usual conversation we have over the camera

343

we've never done something like this i love it it was it was

344

so fun yeah thank you guys it was until next time

¿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.
