English Speaking Course Good morning class.
2
Today we will welcome a new member.
3
Her family has just moved in here.
4
She's new to the English language and still learning it.
5
So let's support her as much as you can, okay?
6
Yes, teacher!
7
Now, could you tell the class a bit about yourself?
8
Yes, Miss Parker.
9
Uh, my.. my name is Millie.
10
I'm from Thailand.
11
Nice to meet you.
12
Oh, come on.
13
It's just a few simple phrases.
14
This is so funny.
15
I'm trying my best not to laugh.
16
Silence, class.
17
Don't worry.
18
You will get used to being here.
19
Thank you, Mrs. Parker.
20
Okay, class.
21
Today, we're going to talk about places in the city.
22
Can anyone guess what's in this picture?
23
Yes, Sarah.
24
It's a market, Mrs. Parker.
25
Great job.
26
What kinds of things can we buy at a market?
27
We can buy food and clothes.
28
That's right, Mike.
29
Good answer.
30
What do people usually do at a market?
31
Millie, can you try to answer this?
32
I'm not sure.
33
Come on, it's okay.
34
Give it a try.
35
Just say it in English already.
36
It's okay, Millie.
37
Take your time.
38
Don't worry.
39
It's fine if you don't know yet.
40
Can someone give Millie a hand?
41
Fanny, what do you think?
42
A market is a place where people buy and sell things.
43
Very good, Fanny.
44
Nice work.
45
Hi there.
46
Is the seat taken?
47
No, not at all.
48
You can sit here. Are you also from...
49
Yes, I'm from Ms. Parker's class.
50
You must be Millie, right?
51
Yes, I'm Millie.
52
I'm Fanny.
53
Nice to meet you.
54
You looked a little sad in class.
55
Is everything okay?
56
Uh, English is hard.
57
Everyone laughs at me.
58
Oh, don't worry about them.
59
Learning a new language is tough.
60
I want to learn, but I still can't learn it well.
61
It's alright.
62
I understand.
63
Uh, maybe I can help you with it?
64
Really?
65
You would do that for me?
66
Yeah, we could meet after school at the library or somewhere else to practice English.
67
What do you think? That sounds great.
68
Thank you, Fanny.
69
You're welcome.
70
What do you call this, Fanny?
71
It's called cereal.
72
Ah, I got it.
73
Cereal.
74
Perfect.
75
You got it right.
76
Which kind do you like?
77
Hmm, Fruity Loops?
78
Sounds good.
79
Can you read the red letters on this medicine box?
80
Uh, it says, keep out of reach of children.
81
Yeah, that means we shouldn't give this box to kids because it's dangerous.
82
Oh.
83
Oh, I forgot the baking supplies.
84
Where are they in this supermarket?
85
Uh, you can try asking the clerk for help.
86
Okay, I got this.
87
Um, excuse me?
88
Yes?
89
Could you show us the way to the, um, baking supplies?
90
Sure, go straight and then turn left.
91
You'll see them there.
92
Thank you.
93
High five!
94
This part is so funny.
95
What do you think he's saying?
96
Did he say something like tripped?
97
Great job!
98
Tripped means you lose your balance and stumble because something is in your way.
99
Now, let's rewind a bit.
100
Does he say anything else after he mentions he tripped?
101
Hmm, I think he says something about spilling his coffee.
102
That's correct.
103
I think I'm feeling more comfortable with English.
104
Watching movies is such a fun way to learn.
105
Plus, you're learning quickly.
106
Yeah, because it's more fun than studying from a textbook.
107
Yeah, the more you watch, the more natural it'll feel to understand English.
108
Ugh, there are so many new words in this book.
109
Don't give up.
110
Let's try this together.
111
Pick a sentence and see if you can understand it.
112
Uh, maybe this one?
113
The fearless young explorer went into the unknown jungle.
114
What does fearless mean?
115
Fearless means not afraid of anything. And an explorer is...
116
Someone who travels to find new places.
117
Unknown means something no one knows about yet.
118
Ah, I see.
119
So, put it all together?
120
What do you think this whole sentence means?
121
The sentence means the brave young explorer dared to go into a jungle that no one knew about?
122
Oh, that's a fantastic answer, Millie.
123
Thanks a lot, teacher.
124
Fanny, I can't thank you enough for your help.
125
Don't mention it, Millie.
126
I'm happy to see you improving every day.
127
You're like a big sister to me.
128
You guide me through everything.
129
And you're a wonderful student, Millie.
130
You try so hard and you never give up.
131
It's all thanks to you, Fanny.
132
With your help, I feel more confident speaking English now.
133
Remember, everyone, practice makes perfect.
134
Move to a new house.
135
Hey, Layla!
136
Finally unpacked?
137
How's your new place?
138
Hi, Sarah.
139
It's, uh, interesting.
140
My neighborhood is really cool.
141
There's lots of kids around. But there's one thing.
142
Spill it.
143
What's up?
144
So, I don't actually have my own apartment.
145
It turns out, I'm actually living with the landlord.
146
Whoa, seriously?
147
That's different?
148
Why's that?
149
Well, you know my parents are super busy with work for a few months.
150
They can't move down here yet.
151
The landlord has spare room, so they worked out a deal for me to stay there until they arrive.
152
Oh, wow, okay.
153
That makes sense.
154
So, it's just you and the landlord in the house?
155
Yep.
156
A little weird, right?
157
I mean, I've never lived with someone who isn't my family before.
158
I can imagine.
159
But hey, could be fun too.
160
You might get to know your landlord really well, learn some cool things about the neighborhood.
161
Yeah, maybe.
162
I guess it could be an adventure.
163
We'll see how it goes.
164
Layla, now let's go over the house rules.
165
Number one, no coming back after 11pm sharp.
166
11pm?
167
But what about movies or studying with friends?
168
Unfortunately, no friends allowed inside.
169
It must be quiet at all times.
170
We value a peaceful environment. But socializing?
171
Having people over occasionally?
172
Not here, dear Number three,
173
no loud noises after 7pm Respect the peace and quiet But wouldn't even music be okay?
174
Music can be disruptive, dear And lastly,
175
number four, no overnight guests This is a single occupancy space.
176
No movies, no friends, no music after dinner, and no chance of sleepovers?
177
This was starting to feel more like a prison than a new home.
178
I understand these might seem strict, but I live here too.
179
And thank you for explaining the rules.
180
Ugh, 9.30 already?
181
No way I can crank up the volume for this movie.
182
Perfect.
183
Headphones it is.
184
Sarah's online.
185
Maybe we can have a virtual movie night.
186
Must you be so rough, dear?
187
Sorry, Mrs. Henderson.
188
And that light in the bathroom.
189
Five minutes, Layla.
190
We like to conserve energy here, you know.
191
Layla?
192
Is that music, I hear?
193
Oh, no ma'am.
194
It must be coming from outside.
195
See that you keep it that way, dear.
196
We like things very quiet here.
197
This is ridiculous.
198
Living here isn't living.
199
It's suffocating.
200
Layla?
201
You alright in there?
202
Yeah, come in.
203
You look awful, child Are you sick?
204
Just a cold, I think Nonsense You look ready to keel over Here,
205
get under the covers Stay put Shake a noodle soup Always the best cure Now,
206
eat slowly, dear And don't you worry about a thing Today, you just focus on getting better We'll take care of things.
207
Thank you, Mrs. Anderson.
208
The soup is amazing.
209
And thank you for taking care of me.
210
Don't be silly, child.
211
Everyone needs a little TLC sometimes.
212
Even if they don't always follow the rules.
213
Sorry about that.
214
We all have a lot to learn, Layla.
215
Maybe even us old folks.
216
You know, maybe this won't be so bad living here after all.
217
Perhaps not, Layla.
218
Perhaps not. That test was brutal.
219
Oh, that test was brutal.
220
How do you think you did, Kelly?
221
Not sure.
222
Some of those questions were really tricky.
223
How about you?
224
I completely blanked out on that last essay question.
225
What did you write about?
226
I focused on the social impact of the innovation, like you suggested in class.
227
Oh, of course.
228
That's the obvious answer.
229
I went off on a tangent about the technical details.
230
Don't worry too much, Alex.
231
Maybe you still got some points for it.
232
Having breakfast.
233
Good morning, sunshine.
234
Ready to start your day?
235
Almost, Mama.
236
Perfect.
237
How about some yummy bread with fried eggs for breakfast?
238
Hmm.
239
Not today, Mama.
240
I had toast yesterday.
241
I see.
242
What about a refreshing salad?
243
We can add some of your favorite fruits and nuts.
244
Now that sounds good.
245
John!
246
Where are you?
247
John!
248
What's up honey?
249
I'm upstairs. Can you come here?
250
I need your help right now.
251
Honey, where are you?
252
Up in front of the door.
253
What's up honey?
254
What are those?
255
Some furniture you and I ordered together.
256
Don't you remember?
257
Yeah, I think I have some memory of it.
258
Good.
259
I can't move them inside.
260
Can you help me please?
261
Sure.
262
This is a man's job.
263
I believe in you.
264
I will help you after I change my clothes.
265
Take it easy!
266
I can do it myself!
267
You look so tired, John.
268
Do you need to take a break?
269
No, I'm fine!
270
Wow, this is a nice table.
271
We can put it in the reading room.
272
Leave it to me.
273
You should move that chair.
274
OK.
275
Oh God, why is it so heavy?
276
Let me help you with it.
277
I'm home, honey!
278
Okay, great!
279
Change your clothes.
280
I'm preparing dinner now.
281
Let's see what we have today.
282
Oh, is that lamb?
283
Yeah, and I'm making vegetable stir-fry.
284
That's great!
285
You have never cooked lamb before, have you?
286
Nope!
287
This is my first attempt!
288
Hope it's going to be great!
289
How does it taste?
290
It tastes a little bit weird.
291
I think you didn't prepare the lamb thoroughly.
292
It's a bit dry.
293
Let me try it.
294
Oh, my.
295
And the sauce is a bit too sweet.
296
Okay, I see.
297
It is not good at all.
298
You did well, but I can help you fix it!
299
How can we fix it?
300
We should add a little bit of lemon juice and chilies.
301
It will be better.
302
Okay.
303
Now let's try it again.
304
Wow!
305
It's so much better!
306
John, I think we should talk.
307
Okay.
308
About what, honey? About you and me.
309
Why are you so serious?
310
Did I do something wrong?
311
No, take it easy.
312
I just want to talk about our weaknesses.
313
Then we can fix them together.
314
Oh, you scared me!
315
Okay, let's talk.
316
Okay, I will start first.
317
I'm not good at cooking, for sure.
318
We both know that. And you?
319
My health is not good.
320
Remember when I moved that table?
321
I couldn't do it alone, even though it is not heavy.
322
Okay, What is your solution?
323
We should help each other!
324
I will exercise more to make my health better.
325
You should remind me whenever I forget to work out.
326
Okay, so I will learn how to cook.
327
There are some cooking channels on YouTube.
328
I think they will be useful.
329
And I can taste your food or help you sometimes.
330
Okay, deal.
331
John.
332
John, wake up.
333

348
Bacon will be in the refrigerator always.
349

369

370

371
Honey!
372
Hey John!
373
Why are you so late today?
374
I went to the gym after work!
375
Luckily I still had time for it! Are you hungry?
376
I'm still preparing dinner.
377
It will take a while. Where did you go?
378
Did you go jogging?
379
To be honest, I cooked dinner once already, but it wasn't really good.
380
So I went to the supermarket again to buy some ingredients to make some other dishes.
381
Did you walk to the supermarket?
382
Yeah, I couldn't book a car.
383
It was rush hour.
384
But it's far away!
385
Are you tired?
386
I will help you prepare dinner.
387
It's fine.
388
I like walking.
389
I'm so sorry.
390
I tried to cook them well.
391
That's fine honey.
392
We've had a rough day.
393
Yeah.
394
How is everything?
395
What do you mean?
396
The changing challenges in your family.
397
Ah, it's quite well so far.
398
That's great.
399
You know, we finally found that I have talent in sports, and John has good cooking ability.
400
Oh really?
401
I didn't expect that.
402
Me too.
403
Overall, it is a successful challenge.
404
John is still lazy, but he tries to go to the gym at least twice a week.
405
His health is getting better.
406
How about you?
407
I go to the gym five times a week.
408
And I'm also thinking about taking a martial arts class.
409
Wow, you're going to be so strong.
410
Yeah.
411
And I'm still learning to cook.
412
My skill isn't that great, but it is better day by day with John's help.
413
Do you want to take part in a cooking class?
414
No, I don't think so.
415
John knows many recipes and he can teach me.
416
That's enough.
417
Oh, you guys are so sweet.

¿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.
