11
But we call her Samara.
12
Do you have any nicknames, Samara?
13
My friend calls me Ara.
14
I don't like Sam.
15
I'm not a Sam.
16
She's not Sam.
17

22
What does your friend call you?
23
uh she calls me era era oh that's cute samara era nice i like it
24
and samara how do i explain samara's relation to me well it's a little complicated
25
but basically um her mom used to be married to my dad many years ago
26
so she was like my stepmom but now she's not married to him anymore.
27
And she had a daughter, Samara.
28
And now how old is Samara today?
29
I am 12.
30
12 years old.
31
So technically, she's not my sister.
32
But I think of her like, you know, like a half sister or something like that, because her mom was kind of like my second mom.
33
So that's kind of the relation here.
34
And she very kindly agreed to make a video with me and to showcase her natural English.
35
She is a native English speaker from where are you from?
36
What is the state?
37
Oh, Maine.
38
So you're from the state of Maine, which is where I'm from also.
39
Yes.
40
Where is Maine in the United States?
41
It's in the eastern part.
42
Yes.
43
And also it's like it's on the upper part of it.
44
It's northeast.
45
Yeah, northeast.
46
Definitely.
47
It's on the border of what country?
48
Canada.
49
Canada.
50
Have you ever been to Canada?
51
No, I have not been to Canada, but I've heard me neither.
52
Yeah.
53
It's very strange that We're so close and we've never been there.
54
I know.
55
And I've been to places like further away. So yeah.
56
Samara has traveled to, she was in Puerto Rico where I just was.
57
She's been on cruises.
58
Yeah.
59
Where have you been?
60
I haven't been like a lot out of the state, but most of my out of state stuff has been on cruise, like going to Puerto Rico and like San Juan and that kind of stuff.
61
Have you been to, did the cruise stop at Mexico or no?
62
The first one I went on did, this one did not though.
63
So you've been maybe to some islands in the Caribbean?
64
Yeah, definitely.
65
Okay.
66
Would you like to travel somewhere else?
67
I don't know.
68
I really like where I've been.
69
But probably somewhere like Hawaii.
70
I'd love to go to Hawaii.
71
I haven't been to Hawaii.
72
I'd love to go there.
73
So you like tropical places?
74
Yes, I like tropical.
75
I don't want to go and travel somewhere cold.
76
What do you think about living in Maine in general, like with the four seasons and the winter?
77
I really like it because it's definitely like
78
when you start to get sick of one season the other
79
one comes along like you have winter is pretty cold
80
and snowy and I like winter but then I'm definitely sick of it
81
and I'm really happy for when spring and summer come along
82
so it's nice with the four season change
83
because you kind of get some of everything so you like it
84
but you do prefer when it's warm yes I don't like
85
when it's humid I'm not like I like warm
86
but I don't like like crazy hot
87
but yeah I definitely prefer like warmer seasons like me yeah I think most people in Maine do prefer
88
when it's warmer here
89
but they they tolerate the winter definitely you find stuff to
90
do in the winter you like to go uh snowshoeing with probably with your dad
91
and stuff yeah I go snowshoeing I really like I mean
92
my sister like makes snow forts this is it's really fun
93
and like obviously we have a tradition of like making snowmen and
94
that kind of stuff oh yeah she has a little sister
95
named Farrah who is seven right six six six years old I'll turn I will turn 13 in four months
96
and then she will turn seven in five months.
97
Your birthday is in August.
98
Yeah, August 23rd.
99
Yeah.
100
So basically Samara is being very like nice right now and chill and stuff.
101
She's trying to, you know, speak in a nice way for you guys.
102
But sometimes Samara, when she gets, you know, excited about something, she talks really fast, super fast.
103
And I told her that my students, they really like to be challenged with real English.
104
So I told her just be normal, talk as fast as you want
105
but you can let let me know in the comments how you what you think about samara's english
106
if you think that it's easy to understand her it's difficult
107
because yeah people always say that they understand me
108
but i want to bring on guests on the show to see how easy
109
or difficult it is to understand them
110
so i'm going to pass you the mic and you can hold it
111
and i want you to just tell me a little bit
112
about about you about your your life here here on this this farm
113
and what what you like to do and what are the things, you know, what do you do in a typical day here?
114
I definitely really like it here.
115
We have a lot of animals.
116
So a typical day is definitely taking care of them.
117
I go out and I feed the farm animals with my mom.
118
I feed the cats and then I have to hold my parrot a lot because parrots need a lot of attention.
119
So your parrot?
120
Yeah, my parrot.
121
Her name's Kiwi and she definitely needs a lot of attention.
122
I like to hang out with the cats.
123
So a lot to do with animals.
124
And then I also am a gymnast.
125
So I do gymnastics here, which is really fun.
126
I kind of have like my whole little routine.
127
Yeah.
128
And I also really like doing art.
129
I was actually just about to get into a paint project.
130
So that's gonna be fun.
131
You like gymnastics a lot.
132
You're very passionate about that.
133
And painting also.
134
And being with your animals.
135
How many animals do you have here?
136
I think we have 46 or 47, which I cannot believe how little we have.
137
I cannot remember the last time that we were in the 70s.
138
And the number is so high because you have a lot of chickens, right?
139
Yes, we have 29 chickens, but we are hatching chicks.
140
We have five eggs.
141
So fingers crossed, some hatch.
142
They should hatch in like two days.
143
So I'm really excited.
144
Nice.
145
Yeah, she loves the chickens.
146
They all have names.
147
And they're all very unique because they're all different kinds of chickens, right?
148
They have different appearances.
149
yes we have yeah they're mostly different kinds you have like a few the same breed
150
but then with also like hatching chicks we have like some mixed breeds
151
and yeah they're really cute
152
and they all have their different personalities chickens are not just
153
like a lot of people think chickens are pretty like dumb
154
but they're actually they can be pretty intelligent
155
and I love their little personalities yeah yeah I agree I agree do you think
156
that they they have a bond with you like they they
157
um feel something toward you um I would say some do some are a little bit more leave me alone.
158
I think they definitely like us when we give them food.
159
They're like, yeah, we love you and you have food for us.
160
But some definitely are friendly and very affectionate.
161
Some you pet and you hold them and you touch them.
162
Yes, we have definitely a few who enjoy being pet and are very chill with being picked up.
163
And then we have some that are total spazes and just want to like be like, feed me, but leave me alone, please.
164
How would you describe What does a total spaz mean for someone who doesn't know English?
165
It means like they kind of like are skittish or like nervous, a little bit like crazy.
166
Like they like to kind of like run away from us and be like, leave me alone.
167
They go crazy if you try to pick them up.
168
Some some of them, maybe.
169
Yeah.
170
And you also have some goats and a pig.
171
Yes, I have six goats and I have a pig and I love them so much.
172
The pig is Pookie.
173
And then I have the six goats and I love all the goats so much.
174
The pig's name is Pookie, by the way, in case you didn't understand that.
175
You have a couple of dogs and three cats.
176
And yeah, I think that's a fish.
177
I think that's all the animals.
178
And I have two leopard geckos in my room, Nick and Lisa.
179
Ah, Nick and Lisa, the geckos.
180
Yes.
181
In her room.
182
Okay.
183
They're like...
184
I forgot about the geckos.
185
Yeah, they're like...
186
I think they're like eight.
187
They're pretty old now.
188
I named him when I was really tiny.
189
So they have classic names.
190
However, Nick may be a Nicole.
191
We don't know.
192
Oh, you don't know the gender.
193
Yeah, we know we know Lisa's a girl, but we don't know about Nick.
194
Okay, interesting.
195
What do they do all day?
196
Do they just chill out?
197
Nick, he is kind of lazy.
198
He's on the chubby side.
199
He just like likes to lay around.
200
And when it comes dinner time, he eats basically all the worms before Lisa can have any.
201
But that's why he's fat.
202
Yes, they definitely leopard geckos like chilling.
203
But Lisa definitely likes to walk around the tank a little bit more and like adventure more than he does.
204
Nice.
205
Something interesting about you also is that you do homeschooling or you've been doing homeschooling up until now.
206
And you are you're just completing now the end of the school year, like the sixth grade.
207
Right.
208
So next year, your plan is to do what?
209
My plan is to go to school in the seventh grade.
210
And I'm kind of nervous about it, but I'm also really excited.
211
So she's going to go to an actual school, not being homeschooled.
212
And you're going to like a small private school, right?
213
Yes, it is a very small private school.
214
I think there's only like 120 to like 160 students.
215
Pretty small, like 10 to 15 students in each class.
216
But I'm really happy because my best friend and little sister go there.
217
So it's going to be awesome.
218
And what was your reasoning for why you wanted to go there besides your friend
219
and your sister? um well i'm thinking
220
that once you go through school you can't try it
221
so i think because i've never gone to school
222
and i've always been homeschooled and i love homeschool so much
223
but i'd love to try going to school and see
224
if i like it and i'd love to have like a bigger friend group definitely
225
so for the experience to try it because you can't go back
226
and try it if you miss your chance
227
and uh to maybe make more friends yeah definitely but right now you have um you have your best friend, Autumn, her name is, right?
228
And you have your sister.
229
Do you have any other friends that you hang out with or is that mostly it?
230
Autumn is my best friend and she lives close.
231
So she's the one I hang out with mostly.
232
But I do have another best friend who lives, she sadly moved away.
233
Her name's Annika.
234
But we still see each other every once in a while, which is really nice.
235
But yeah, Autumn's definitely my main best friend.
236
All right.
237
Nice.
238
Yeah, I think it's good.
239
The social situations at school, because I went through all of the years of public school, sometimes it can be really great sometimes it can be not
240
so great depending on you know
241
but I went to a public school with you know a huge amount of students
242
and I think that a smaller private school I don't know
243
if it has to do with it being private
244
but just a smaller school with less people I feel like it's going to be better for for making friends
245
because because it's smaller so nobody gets left out like nobody gets forgotten about
246
and everybody like knows each other very well and stuff
247
so i think it's a good idea what do you think yeah i definitely think
248
that there's only like i walked around i got i got to see the sixth grade classroom
249
and i saw everyone in it
250
and it's a very small classroom there's only like i think it was like 10-ish people in it
251
so it's i think it's going to be easier definitely to
252
like you know what you said she said 10-ish we say
253
ish it's like uh about 10 about 10 10-ish could be
254
11 could be 9 somewhere around there you kind of round up to the closest number.
255
Sometimes we add ish to say like about that, you know, like, oh, this is, this is like grayish color, this thing.
256
It's a grayish, like kind of gray.
257
Yeah.
258
All right.
259
And so if you, if you like it there and you want to stay, could you, could you see yourself?
260
I mean, it's hard to know how you're going to feel, you know, in the future, but could you see yourself staying there, you know, up through until you graduate high school or, or what do you think?
261
I definitely can.
262
I think I'm going to see how this school year or like my the seventh grade goes, because my mom said, I want you to at least try out this year and then I'll see if I love it.
263
I'll keep doing it.
264
And if it's like, you know what, this was really like not for me.
265
I'll go back to homeschool, but I'm really hoping it works out and I get to go to there for longer.
266
Nice.
267
How far away is the school?
268
Is your is your mom going to drive you in the morning?
269
I guess my mom and my dad will drive me depending on who I am with.
270
It's like 20, 25 minutes away from my dad and it's like 30, 35 minutes away from my mom.
271
So relatively close.
272
Oh, yes.
273
We forgot to mention her.
274
Her parents are separated like mine are.
275
We're at her mom's house right now.
276
But her dad lives somewhere else like 30, 30 minutes away.
277
I think about like 40, 45 ish.
278
But yeah, pretty close.
279
OK.
280
Her mom is remarried to, I'll let you say.
281
Daniel.
282
I love him so much.
283
He is the best bonus dad ever.
284
Bonus dad.
285
and he's been in your life since you were very little
286
right yeah he's been in my life since i was like
287
uh three maybe about to turn four right around there
288
so yeah and he was just i immediately loved him
289
so much he's just the nicest guy yeah daniel's pretty great he is definitely
290
and he's the only one who he's the one giving you
291
my squishies in my squishy obsession my mom's like no
292
and he's like yeah i'll give you squishies yeah daniel likes to spoil everyone definitely Yeah, he likes to spoil my little sister too.
293
And for those who don't know, can you describe what the squishy is?
294
Squishies, there are several different kinds.
295
It's like a toy and it's really fun to squish.
296
They have like really nice textures, like slime.
297
Like they may have like slime in them or just really different fun textures.
298
May have like glitter or beads in them.
299
And I really love them.
300
And they're so cute and I love squishing them.
301
And I'm having a little collection now.
302
Are they all like dumplings or are they different things?
303
I have six squishy dumplings.
304
They're very viral right now.
305
But the others, I have 12 and the other six are different.
306
They can really be like they're probably every shape in the world.
307
Some are just like a square or like a cube, while others are actual things like butter or cheeses.
308
I love my cheese.
309
I love my cheese.
310
Okay, so they can be different things, but the dumplings are popular.
311
Yeah, the dumplings are probably my favorite.
312
Okay.
313
So if you didn't understand, to squish is like to do this to something.
314
It's like a specific kind of texture thing where you can go like this.
315
And she has some, I wouldn't say that they're like stuffed animals.
316
They're not like stuffed.
317
They're just like, yeah, they're like rubbery little creatures that are full of something that you can squish.
318
Yeah, the dumplings are full of water and they have like, well, some are full of water and have glitter in them.
319
And then others kind of have this stuff, kind of a whipped creamy texture in it.
320
And I really like that one.
321
So yeah, they can definitely have a lot of different textures in it.
322
And they're really fun to squish.
323
Okay.
324
They feel like fun to play with.
325
It's like a texture thing.
326
Yeah.
327
All right.
328
Nice.
329
Well, I'm going to take a look at my list here of some random questions to ask Samara.
330
We are filming outside.
331
It's pretty warm and my camera tends to overheat.
332
So it might just randomly shut off at some point.
333
So if that happens, it's okay.
334
We'll just cut it there.
335
We'll just end the video there.
336
So if the video ends abruptly, that's what happened.
337
But yeah, so I'm just going to ask you questions until maybe it dies
338
or maybe just a few questions until we get tired.
339
And yeah, so I'll ask you a question
340
and then you can take the mic and you can answer as long as you want.
341
Okay.
342
What's a movie or show you can watch over and over?
343
oh okay um there's this show series and it's called gymnastic academy
344
and i love it so much i've probably watched it like eight times over
345
and over again like i said i'm a gymnast
346
and it's all about gymnastics so i really love that
347
and it's it's really fun because it's like teenagers around my age
348
so that's when i can just like watch over and over again
349
and i love it
350
so much it's like one of my favorite shows that's cool it's like uh they're like competing or something um it's
351
The main character is named Kyra Berry, and she goes from the U.S to Australia for a three-month
352
training process to try to get a scholarship at the Gymnastic Academy for three years.
353
But is it like real life or reality show, or is it like fiction?
354
It is not cartoon.
355
It is like real reality kind of thing.
356
But I think it's based off a true story, but it's not actually like a true story.
357
Okay, I see.
358
So it's like a movie, maybe like there's a script, but it's based off a true story.
359
Yeah, it's a script because there was one before it.
360
It's called Gymnastics.
361
It's like a, it's the same thing, but it's just called Second Chance instead.
362
And that one was based off a true story.
363
I'm not sure if Gymnastics Academy is, but I think it might be.
364
Do you recommend that people watch it?
365
Is it entertaining?
366
Is it good?
367
Yes, I definitely recommend it.
368
It's probably more of a girl show, but I think anyone who wants to watch it, definitely watch it because it's really awesome and I love it so much.
369
All right.
370
And it inspires you to do gymnastics.
371
Actually, the whole reason I got into gymnastics was actually completely because of that show.
372
I had had no interest in gymnastics my entire life.
373
And then I watched that for the first time like six months ago
374
and now I'm just like got super into gymnastics and like trained myself and learned a bunch about it.
375
Amazing.
376
Yeah.
377
Before she started gymnastics class, she basically just trained herself a lot.
378
She taught herself a lot of things based off like YouTube videos and just practicing and stuff, right?
379
Yeah.
380
Like people telling me stuff, YouTube videos, that show definitely a lot.
381
I taught myself almost everything I know, but gymnastic classes have definitely helped me get correct posture and that kind of stuff.
382
And you're only in the beginner class, but like there's other levels you're going to you're going to keep advancing.
383
Yes, there's beginner advanced pre team and then you're actually on a team.
384
Yeah.
385
And I'm really I'm definitely really loving it.
386
And you told me that you're one of the best ones in your beginner class.
387
I don't want to brag, but I am one of the better ones in the class, which was really thanks to my training,
388
because if I hadn't, I would have been the worst one there.
389
And then because of the training, I came in being one of the better ones.
390
But there are definitely people who are better than me in the class.
391
And have you made friends with any of them, like to the point where you would hang out outside of gymnastics or not yet?
392
They're Elin.
393
I would have hung out with her because we were like we're best friends in the class.
394
But she went away.
395
She's going away to summer camp for four months.
396
So that kind of ended that.
397
But she's coming back or she says she is.
398
I hope she will.
399
Nice.
400
Cool.
401
Is there something like some other hobby or anything that you if you would like to try or you're interested in, but you haven't done it yet?
402
I don't know if there's another hobby that I haven't tried that I'd like to do.
403
My other hobbies are like I do soccer.
404
I love soccer, but I've done that.
405
And then like, yeah, most of my hobbies, I think I've already done that I'm interested in doing.
406
All right.
407
Nice.
408
And anything else like in life in general doesn't have to be like a like a hobby
409
or something it could be like oh I you know I would like to see New York City
410
or what like anything
411
that you would like to do I would like to learn how to bake a pie I don't know anything
412
that you would like to do at some point in the
413
future baking is one of my hobbies I love baking
414
so I'll become a better baker but then a lot of the things
415
that I would like to learn how to do have to do with gymnastics like I am
416
so close on a back walk over or like a front walk over
417
or front handspring and I'd just love to learn how to do those that'd be really awesome.
418
I love it.
419
And she sends me videos, you know, because most of the time I'm not here right now.
420
I'm visiting, but most of the time I'm, I'm out of the country and Samara texts me.
421
She sends me videos of her at her gymnastics classes and doing the different things.
422
And yeah, it's very entertaining for me.
423
I love it.
424
I love getting the videos.
425
I'm glad.
426
Yeah.
427
I sent you, I remember I sent you, I was like, yeah, I got that polo from the bar because I was so happy.
428
Yeah, it's awesome.
429
It's my favorite reality show I watch.
430
I'm so glad.
431
All right.
432
What quality do you most value in a friend?
433
I, in a friend, value probably kindness.
434
I definitely love, like, that's something I look for in a person.
435
But I really like one of the best qualities is if they're funny.
436
I love funny friends, but funny in a kind way.
437
But I love when you get comfortable enough of them where you can make jokes that are, like really funny.
438
But yeah, kindness, funniness, creativity.
439
Like I like creative friends and my friend Autumn definitely is.
440
We like the same stuff.
441
We both love swimming and we always come up with all these very creative, fun games that we do and we're always like laughing so hard.
442
You think Autumn has these traits that you value in a friend?
443
Yes, I would definitely say she is funny, kind and creative and she is also strong and smart and she's amazing.
444
Oh, that's so cute.
445
I wish I had a best friend like that.
446
I don't have one.
447
Well, it's partially my fault because I always travel around so much.
448
I never stay anywhere to make friends.
449
Next one is who has influenced you the most in life?
450
Well, so many people, so many people.
451
I'd have to say my parents, like my mom, my dad, Daniel, Kelly, definitely.
452
Kelly is your dad's partner.
453
Yes, Kelly is my dad's partner.
454
They definitely have all inspired me so much.
455
And then like coming back to gymnastics, like Simone Biles, she's like such a great gymnast and she's definitely inspired me to be a better gymnast.
456
Simone Biles is cool.
457
Yeah, she's awesome.
458
She's like won so many Olympic medals.
459
Yeah, it's amazing.
460
Yeah, gymnastics is super cool.
461
Also, it's very good for us, I think, to stretch, to be flexible, to be mobile, move our bodies.
462
I think as we get older, as we age, to be able to move our bodies still like in those ways, I think is very good for our health.
463
So this is this is a great thing for you to practice your whole life, even if it's like not, you know, not competitively, but even just like by yourself at home.
464
I mean, a lot of adults, they do yoga, which is like has similar things.
465
So, yeah, it's a really cool hobby.
466
I'm glad you like it.
467
Thank you.
468
All right.
469
Maybe we'll do one more question and then we'll end it.
470
All right.
471
Unless there's anything else you wanted to talk about or anything that crossed your mind.
472
All right.
473
What is, oh, this is a funny one.
474
What's something you believed as a kid or when you were younger that turned out to be totally wrong?
475
If you can't think of anything, don't worry about it.
476
Um, let's see.
477
Like, for something, I think when I was little, I believed in, like, lying a lot, I guess.
478
I was definitely a fibber.
479
Now I, like, can't even lie.
480
But, like, yeah, I like to sneak around a lot.
481
I remember one time there was a peanut butter cup, this really yummy candy on the island.
482
And I was like, oh, if I eat it, someone's going to notice.
483
So I took a bite out of it and then left it, which was like way more noticeable.
484
And I was so sneaky.
485
I thought I was like so awesome.
486
And it was like, that's pretty obvious.
487
That's just one of my mischievous things I do.
488
So you used to tell some fibs.
489
A fib is a little lie, like a small lie, white lie, we say.
490
So you used to be a fibber, used to lie a little bit.
491
Yeah, I used to do like harmless little lies, but I thought it was like so clever back then.
492
Now, now I really can't lie.
493
It makes me feel sick.
494
Yeah, same.
495
It's very hard to lie.
496
But yeah, a lot of little kids, they don't realize that the parents can obviously see that it's a lie.
497
And they think they'll get away with it.
498
So they tell little lies.
499
It's funny.
500
Yeah, it's cute.
501
Then when you get older, you also have like the conscience that makes you feel guilty when you lie.
502
And when you're little, you don't really have that.
503
That's good.
504
You developed the conscious conscience to not lie that's good
505
because some people don't ever develop
506
that some adults are out here lying yeah some people gets
507
worse slowly the lies build they just get better at lying
508
and it gets crazy yeah i didn't rob the bank exactly
509
so i'm glad that um that's not you all right well i said
510
that was the last question but i want to do one more
511
so i'm fine what's a challenge you're proud to have overcome there's definitely a few one is
512
that when i was younger i was very not okay with being left alone at all
513
and i've definitely overcome that where i'm okay to be like yeah i'm fine
514
if i like left a home alone with farrah like it's
515
okay now another one definitely with gymnastics getting better gymnastics i overcame a lot there overcoming
516
that when i was younger i struggled with reading a little bit.
517
Not like badly, but I'm the kind of person that I have to want to do it.
518
And if I don't want to do it, I'm not going to try to do it.
519
And then it just like, I found a book that I loved and it took off.
520
And now I'm like, like I read way above my grade level.
521
So yeah, it's awesome.
522
Wow.
523
So you went from not wanting to read
524
or having resistance to reading to being like a better reader
525
than than normal for your for your age yeah yeah it
526
was kind of way in steps where I wouldn't read
527
and then I was definitely not that good at reading
528
and then I was kind of like average
529
and then I just there I found came across some books like Wings of Fire I love the Dragon books
530
and then like Keep It Together Keiko Carter Just Be Cool Jenna Sakai
531
and those are long chapter books and I just fell in love with them
532
and now I just like read all the time like ninth grade level So, wow, that's awesome.
533
That's amazing.
534
And I know, well, when I was here in past years, you were always listening to the audio books.
535
You always liked that.
536
You always liked, I think you always liked books, but you would spend more time maybe listening to them.
537
Maybe now you read more of them.
538
And you also always liked writing.
539
You like to write your own stories, right?
540
Yes, I love the audiobooks.
541
And my dream job, which I hope will become true, is I want to be an author.
542
100%.
543
Language arts is my favorite subject in school.
544
I love writing so much.
545
I'm currently working on two books.
546
One, somebody said, hey, I want you to make a story out of this.
547
It's called Gnome's Adventure.
548
And then the other, I am like 70 pages in.
549
I'm writing it by hand.
550
And I just came up with this.
551
It's about a girl called Paisley, like managing middle school, kind of.
552
And I just I love writing.
553
I don't know what it is about it, but I love it so much.
554
Wow.
555
Amazing.
556
I love it.
557

558

561

566
My mom was like that.
567
She always wanted to write books, but but she well, she wrote one she had one

585
Yes.
586
Yeah, I definitely have the names planned out.
587
I plan a lot, but I'm one of the kind of authors
588
that more of I have an overall vision of where I want the book to go.
589
But I'm more right in the moment.
590
I don't plan things out like as much as some authors would.
591
See where it goes.
592
Yeah.
593

that she has a book available to read and you guys can read it and practice your English reading.
600
So that's it.
601
I think we'll end it there.
602
Thank you, Samara, for coming on the show.
603
Thank you for inviting me.
604
Oh, sorry.
605
I didn't put the mic.
606
It's okay.
607
Thank you for inviting me.
608
What was she saying?
609
She didn't put the mic.
610
Thank you for inviting me so much.
611
It was such an honor.
612
Thank you.
613
Oh, isn't she great?
614
Can you believe she's 12 years old?
615
Well, she's going to be 13 in August.
616
Yeah, she's so grown up.
617
I can't believe it.
618
Because last time I was here, you know, she was like a couple years younger, a few years younger.
619
And so I'm amazed every time I come here to see the growth.
620
And so, yeah.
621
So we're going to go.
622
I'm going to let Samara go and get back to her life.
623
And thank you for being here.
624
Tell me in the comments what you thought about her English, like how easy or difficult it was for you.
625
I think it was pretty good.
626
Samara has like, I would say she has a standard American English accent, which I think that I have too.
627
A lot of young people, younger generations, they have this accent.
628
Our grandparents have like a more like traditional main accent, but the younger generations I think don't really have it so much anymore. So strongly.
629
Yeah, definitely.
630
Do you agree?
631
Yeah, I'd say I don't think of myself having an accent because everyone talks, but obviously from someone who speaks another language, probably sound like an accent.
632
But like, I definitely think of my grandma having an accent, very manner accent.
633
Yeah, we a lot of the young people, what we have is the I call it the standard American English accent.
634
You know, it's the accent you hear when you turn on the TV.
635
And it's, you know, what what most people have, like younger people and what they have on the news.
636
But yeah, a lot of our a lot of our older generations are grandparents and stuff that, you know, have spent their whole life in the state.
637

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
