Shadowing Practice: Tugboat_Spenny's FAQ - Learn English Speaking with Video

I have no idea what the question was at this point.

I didn't have it written down.

Wait, I can do them one at a time.

Hey.

Hi, I'm Tug Boatsbunny.

I'm Ceiling Fan CEO.

I'm the guy that dances under the ceiling fan,

usually to Milkshake or Feels by Calvin Harris with Pharrell and Katy Perry and George Michael.

Anyway, you get the point.

That's me.

have decided to do a FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions.

So let's begin.

Yes, yes I am married.

I've been married for going on 10 years at this moment.

Yes, I'm married.

It's not changing, nothing's happening, nothing's ending.

That's it.

Everybody always asks, oh I don't see a ring.

I don't wear my ring.

I don't feel the need to.

I might also just lose it is I am I am

35 years old no this is not my real job I

do not do content creation for a living I do it

for you know side hustle yes I do have a real job

and I try to make sure

that I keep everything from real life to to my internet

persona of tugboats many ceiling fan ceo I try to make sure I keep all of that as separate as possible Yes, I do have kids.

I have two of them.

And again, from the last question, I try to make sure that my life and my internet life stay as separate as humanly possible.

I do not want anything that I do to affect my children, my wife, my family, in any way, shape, or form.

I'll let you be the judge.

I know what the truth is, but it's one of those things where I like people to keep commenting because, you know, it's engagement.

It's engagement on the posts.

Engagement in content world is good.

So use your imagination.

I always appreciate those kind of comments.

But no. Again, alone in my home, under a ceiling fan, out in public.

I will dance.

I'll be a goof, but you're not going to get the same immaculate vibes from me on a dance floor,

at a wedding, or in a club that you get from the internet.

Use a ceiling fan.

figure out a way to attach your phone.

Yeah, I'm one of, not very few, very many.

I'm one of very many people that do it.

Give it a shot.

It's fun.

So it's the comments that are always like, it's the confidence for me.

My confidence comes from being comfortable.

I am not confident when it comes to adult conversations.

I am not confident when it comes to being too hard on myself.

I'm very hard on myself so I am not that confident.

Internet is the internet.

You have to remember people can put on a good show.

Yes and no. I don't talk about it.

Every now and then it'll come up in conversation with those people.

Most of the people that know, my friends, they just go, it's just headshake worthy to them.

Whatever's trending, I have tried multiple occasions, use a song I like, but it's just, it's gotta fit the vibe.

Well, if you look behind me, you can see a few of them.

I do like anime stuff, mostly Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super Dragon Ball.

huge fan of green lantern dc comics some marvel comics gundam

models i have about seven of them not done yet

and they're just sitting in the boxes waiting for me to

get the urge to do them play fortnite i play borderlands

i love star wars action figures props not many props just like more

or less the lanterns a couple lightsabers it's whatever i get hyper fixated on

and i super focus it because when I go down that hole, it's...

I'm going in.

I just do it.

Just keep doing it.

Same thing.

If I keep on getting likes and views, I'm going to keep doing it.

Who doesn't want to try something new every now and then?

Actually, this is me trying something new.

These videos.

I talked about Star Wars in my last video.

I'm talking about me in this one.

No. No. Three.

Count it.

I have had three people notice me.

It's good that people don't because I don't think you'd recognize me out in public.

There was a one of those 360 cameras at some video creator con thing out in California.

Every time it would spin around they were doing a song and then it would go slow-mo

and when it went slow-mo the lip sync did not match up with the music anymore when it started going faster again.

So I crudely put together this thing, picked a song, tried to dance, posted it, people liked it.

Then I started doing it so my wife didn't know I was doing it

and I decided to say hey 50,000 followers I'll tell my wife.

Within a couple days boom I was there.

I feel like you are living a lie.

I feel like we're gonna need therapy.

And it's just kept on growing from there.

Yes very rarely though

if I have a plan I can just I know what I'm doing I know where to focus on

but if I'm just trying something willy-nilly spinning here and there I will get dizzy.

Yes.

Yes, I have.

Yes.

No. The way I film,

I do not keep bloopers anytime that I mess up somewhere or anytime that I hit my face with the phone,

unless it's really funny, but nine times out of ten, I am going to delete the video and just get rid of it.

100

So that's it.

101

That is some frequently asked questions for Tugboat Spenny, the ceiling fan CEO.

102

Self-proclaimed, just so we're clear, this was my second iteration of a YouTube video

103

and I hope you enjoyed it

104

because I can't get my thoughts out of my brain fast enough

105

because my mouth is going too fast and my brain can't keep up.

106

So thank you for watching and see you next time.

107

God, I can't talk.

¿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.
