Shadowing Practice: 334 - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello and aloha from Hawaii.

This is Bo from Bo's Slow English.

I just got in from Tokyo.

the following morning.

But the weird thing is, even though I arrived this morning,

It's almost like I went back in time because I left Sunday night,

but I arrived Sunday morning.

Time zones are so weird.

I'm staying at my friend's house and I will give you a tour of Hawaii.

I'm getting ready to head out for the day.

I'm going to meet my friend at a coffee shop.

My friend greeted me at the airport with this lei.

The weather is so different here compared to Tokyo and in fact I under packed

stuff I don't have any short sleeve shirts.

I only have long sleeves and sweaters because I thought it would be a little cooler here in Hawaii,

but I am totally wrong.

It's humid, it's warm, and I might need to buy a short sleeve shirt while we're out.

This is the back house where I'm staying.

I filmed here last July.

Last July was the first time I had ever been to Hawaii.

And now it's my second time.

I am taking...

the spare car that they have, which is an extra car, and we are going to go into town and get some coffee.

I just sat down to eat lunch.

I am craving Mexican food.

Mexican food was very hard to find in Tokyo.

Here's what I got.

On top, the tomato mixture is called pico de gallo.

several ingredients: chopped cilantro, jalapeno, onion, and tomato.

I also got the medium salsa, so medium spice.

I paid an additional fee for a side of guacamole.

I have two wedges of lime that I will squeeze on top.

I have a bed of rice, so this is the bed of rice underneath,

with refried beans and grilled steak.

I'm going to enjoy my meal and then I'll walk across the street to the other stores.

I'm swatting a fly away from my food.

You know I was just thinking I did not see many flies in Japan.

How weird.

We are going to head inside a grocery store.

It's a very popular grocery store restore chain called Whole Foods.

I'm going to pick up some bagels.

When I say the phrasal verb "pick up" in this sense I'm saying that I'm buying it.

You can also use the phrasal verb to pick up

if you are physically taking something off the ground

or just anywhere below you because you are lifting it up or picking up.

It feels very weird for me to be in Hawaii but still be surrounded by Japanese words on businesses.

There's Japanese characters everywhere as well as Japanese tourists and Japanese residents.

There are many Japanese tourists on the airplane.

It's almost like I didn't leave Japan but I am currently experiencing a culture shock because I'm in America now.

Everyone is speaking English and Japanese people everywhere.

It's so hot today.

I probably look a little bit out of place because I'm wearing a sweater and long pants.

Do you see the rooster crossing the street?

I'm going to pick up this basket.

essentials at her house.

I would really like some oranges.

I like blood orange.

It is $3 .99 a pound.

I'll buy a few in case she or the kids or her husband want some oranges.

Four oranges.

due to the chemicals in plastic.

I'm going to buy this spring water that is in the carton.

I'm looking for the bread section.

I'm going to buy baby food.

My friends think it's really funny that I eat this, but...

For me, it's like a quick...

pick me up if I need a little bit of sugar.

When I say pick me up, I mean it gives me a little boost of energy.

This sounds good.

apple and sweet potato puree These water bottles are called tumblers.

Here's some more tumblers over here Excuse me, where's the bread section?

Thank you.

All right, I've got all my loaves and stuff over here.

I've got some frozen, all their like teal auctions and the other bakery loaves are going to be all over there.

I'm looking for bagels specifically.

Bagels specifically?

I have some bagels.

I have some in -house bagels that they make if you wanted to check those out.

Do you have sesame?

I think they do have sesame.

Okay.

Oh, perfect.

Thank you.

I'm going to buy the six count of sesame bagels.

- So these are sesame seeds.

I think we could get out of here.

Christine, who is the friend that I'm staying with, her son likes to eat bagels and lox.

I will show you a picture here of what it is.

It's bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon.

I'm going to do the self -checkout.

cart or actually sorry the basket up here

And I need to put the camera down because I have to open up these bags.

I'm going to scan this in -store code Whole Foods is owned by Amazon.

Thank you.

Now I'm going to scan the barcode of the items and place it into my bag.

I double bagged it so that it is able to carry the weight of all of these items.

Thank you.

I need to click on this search button.

It says scan produce sticker.

100

Okay.

101

Oh, there we go.

102

Thank you.

103

I place the orange on the scale.

104

And I'm gonna say no container.

105

Thank you.

106

Wow, $2 .31 for one orange is pretty expensive.

107

Let's see, four, six, eight, wow that's like nine dollars for oranges.

108

Whoa!

109

Okay, so my total is $25 .98 and I'm going to tap my credit card.

110

on this keypad.

111

and I will place the basket underneath.

112

I'm buying two bags.

113

yes confirming two bags And I'm paying with cars.

114

Alright, I'm tearing off the receipts.

115

And we're heading out the door.

116

Thank you.

117

I thought I locked myself out of the car and I had a small panic.

118

I opened up the passenger door to put the groceries on the passenger seat.

119

I also placed my tote bag on the seat which had the car key.

120

I closed the passenger door and walked around to the driver's side door I tried to open the driver's side door,

121

however, the door was locked.

122

To lock yourself out, can you guess what that means?

123

It means that you are not able to get into a place like a car

124

or a house because the key is inside.

125

So I thought I locked myself out.

126

¿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.
