Cheers to a new day.
2
Cheers.
3
Welcome back to Learn English with Camille and most of the time.
4
Calvin.
5
We are so glad you're here for this video or podcast.
6
Today we are going to be having a natural English conversation.
7
You will learn words that we will say.
8
This isn't scripted.
9
I just have some questions that I'm going to ask Calvin about,
10
can you live without this thing?
11
And I will also answer them as well.
12
I can't live without Camille.
13
I can't live without Calvin.
14
That is also the truth.
15
I can't even film YouTube videos without Calvin because he sets everything up for me.
16
He publishes my books, which if you haven't seen them already,
17
actually, I think we have at least 12 books published now.
18
For children, beginner, intermediate, advanced,
19
dialogue, short stories, grammar, we have you covered.
20
You can find them on Amazon or my website.
21
And I just want to say thank you as well to the members of this channel for supporting our work,
22
for believing in us.
23
You guys are the best.
24
We appreciate you guys.
25
Yes.
26
Also, I don't know if you said the books always come with audio.
27
Yes, that is a good tip.
28
Audio is important when we're learning.
29
So Calvin, first things first, be honest.
30
Could you live without coffee?
31
No, 100% no. I could not live without coffee in my life.
32
Tea.
33
Tea?
34
Could you live without tea?
35
I could live without tea.
36
I could.
37
Yes, but coffee is my, it's my red line.
38
Can't cross it.
39
it's my go-to drug as well
40
but I'm not like a 20 cups of coffee person a
41
day no generally I have one cup in the morning
42
when I wake up
43
and it's like my sacred ritual I have it with my quiet time where I read
44
and write and pray yeah and I just love it like
45
so much that first cup of coffee I'm getting jealous right now.
46
Tea.
47
I also have tea every day, usually in the afternoon.
48
Yeah.
49
Sometimes I have two teas a day.
50
Yeah.
51
Well, it's less caffeine.
52
Yeah.
53
It's okay.
54
Yeah.
55
Yeah.
56
I mean, we focus more on quality over quantity in coffee.
57
And so we buy more expensive,
58
but high quality, well-roasted, well-sourced beans.
59
Yes.
60
Special tea coffee.
61
We pay, you know, 13 to 20 euros for the bag.
62
But it is the cream of the crop.
63
Yeah, it's worth it.
64
It's worth it.
65
And yeah, we love it.
66
Some of our Brazilian friends have insulted us comparing it to Nescaf, but...
67
They did.
68
It was funny.
69
Nothing like that.
70
Yeah, they're good friends.
71
Yeah, they are.
72
We joke around.
73
Yeah, it would be funny if they watched this video and messaged me.
74
Let us know in the comments.
75
Yeah.
76
Can you live without your smartphone?
77
Okay, not forever.
78
I'm just going to put a limit on this.
79
Could you live without your smartphone for one week?
80
I would want to live without my smartphone.
81
I think like each day,
82
you know, we see so many studies
83
that are just telling us how bad our like technology is
84
and like from every everything from the exposure to bad waves or really strong waves to the
85
psychological effects of social media all that stuff so for a week
86
if i could do it i would 100 percent yeah yeah yeah i would probably go crazy day one
87
and two yeah maybe day three
88
and then yeah we'd see we'd see yeah it is really weird
89
because it comes like like a second hand you know it's just kind of always there,
90
always there, what came in.
91
I'm not one to be like scrolling like this but I do post on social media.
92
And we use AI like just you know asking questions about our kids' health or our health.
93
Or learning languages.
94
Yeah or where there's more sunny weather.
95
Yeah where should we move next.
96
Yeah that's true.
97
I think yeah and then language learning is where I use my phone a lot as well.
98
I haven't been into it as much lately,
99
so I've been reading physical books.
100
I just finished literally two novels that were 500 pages each.
101
And it's a trilogy, So that means there's three books.
102
It's called the Mark of the Lion series.
103
It would be for advanced readers, but it is phenomenal.
104
It's hard to put it down.
105
I just would be reading until really late at night.
106
I just couldn't get enough of the book.
107
Yeah.
108
Yeah, books I should say.
109
Yeah, books are always good.
110
I enjoy those.
111
Could you live without books?
112
No. I don't think I could.
113
I mean I could but I wouldn't want to.
114
Like if you had e-readers.
115
Oh, I still love to have a paper book.
116
Even our book sales, I had a friend asking me,
117
do you sell many e-books?
118
And Calvin checked and 10% on Amazon are to e-readers.
119
Yeah, like Kindles.
120
And the rest are the ones that get the physical book.
121
Yeah, and we get it.
122
Yeah, we like the physical books too.
123
We try to buy physical books,
124
even though we kind of have a mix, you know?
125
because it's hard to get English books here in Portugal without spending an arm and a leg.
126
So yeah, we have to rely on our library back in the United States for some books.
127
Yes, exactly.
128
Calvin, could you live without music?
129
No, I can't.
130
No, music is a thing that I think it's therapeutic.
131
I think it helps your mood change.
132
Also, just learning to play music on my ukulele and the guitar now.
133
And yeah, I think it's such a gift to humanity to have music and to be able to express ourselves.
134
I think music is a very key aspect to a healthy society.
135
and music also shares where the society is.
136
It's kind of like the prophetic voice in a society.
137
So, no, I can't and I don't think anybody should without music.
138
Yeah, it would be very hard.
139
I mean, I just had worship music on this morning when I was getting ready and,
140
yeah, it's just life-giving.
141
I love music as well.
142
Yeah, especially, yeah, with the aspect of faith,
143
it's kind of like a double whammy.
144
You know, you have very uplifting messages set to notes.
145
That's true.
146
Mm-hmm.
147
What about lights?
148
So we have electricity, like we can be filming,
149
we can wash our clothes, have our dishwasher.
150
We just don't have physical lights to turn on.
151
So you have to depend on candles or lanterns.
152
That would be trippy.
153
I know.
154
Go back to like the medieval times.
155
It'd be kind of fun for the first like week.
156
And then, man, it's so nice to just flip the switch.
157
I know.
158
We have these little lights by our bed or on our nightstands that we used to read with.
159
Yeah, it's such a good invention.
160
Thank you, Thomas Edison or somebody before him that doesn't get the credit.
161
Yeah, I know, right?
162
Yeah.
163
Yeah, lights are important.
164
I do like candles, but I would choose a light.
165
And then also to have candles when we want to have them.
166
That's true.
167
Because candles, I think, can also put out bad things into the air.
168
Yeah, I can a little bit.
169
I mean, yeah.
170
Depending on what kind of candlesticks you're burning.
171
That's true.
172
I think soy ones are really good.
173
Soy candles are better.
174
I don't think they were thinking about that in the Middle Ages.
175
No, they were just thinking, how can we see?
176
And their lifespan was like 40 years old.
177
Oh, gosh, yeah.
178
But there was a lot of things that could kill you back then.
179
So interesting.
180
Yeah.
181
Okay, let's see what else is on my list.
182
Okay.
183
Could you live without speaking for just a week?
184
Okay.
185
A week?
186
Oof.
187
That is tough.
188
We've done a day.
189
We did a silent retreat.
190
Remember that?
191
Yeah, in Mexico.
192
We were doing some missions training.
193
I do remember.
194
And we just decided to do a silent retreat.
195
And it was interesting.
196
It was very interesting.
197
You know, we don't realize how noisy our world is
198
and even your interactions with people and even feeling like you have to,
199
like in a social setting, start talking.
200
But when you're all, we had like maybe 10 people and we didn't speak for a whole day.
201
And we even went for a walk and there was like a neighbor and we didn't know what to do,
202
like because uh yeah yeah exactly that's pretty much what we did
203
and uh and then you would sit the craziest is
204
when you sit down to eat oh with like 10 20 people
205
that aren't speaking yeah it's like it's weird i would recommend it it's very interesting like just don't speak for
206
while you eat with people and then you'll be like whoa
207
I don't know even I don't even know how to describe it
208
but no I wouldn't want to do it I don't think
209
I could do it for a week no even a day
210
was a challenge it was I enjoyed it though just uh there was like a calm there was a calm
211
when like you didn't have that pressure and
212
and you could just gave you a rest from Spanish as well also in the yeah because we were in Mexico Yeah.
213
Yes.
214
So that would be interesting.
215
A full week would be definitely challenging.
216
Yeah.
217
Yeah.
218
I would feel like I would go crazy,
219
but man, there's some monks or things,
220
people that, yeah, they go,
221
I don't know, I feel like a while without speaking.
222
Yeah.
223
If they're up in the mountains somewhere.
224
I'm just like reflecting right now and I'm thinking of how much I speak.
225
Yeah.
226
Like speaking with our children in the morning,
227
you know, making sure they have everything
228
school speaking with you processing how our kids are doing yeah
229
thing today what we have recording the audio for these books
230
yeah speaking uh i was recording audio exactly for a new
231
book coming doing these youtube videos right now like it's part
232
of life crazy i think it would be very very hard yeah i agree yeah
233
but maybe like he said just even a few hours of
234
silence like take a meal where all the family just says nothing
235
and see yeah that would be we should do
236
that with our kids yeah i think it could be interesting
237
and i mean it's in in some christian traditions there is
238
like um a practice of daily silence you know maybe it's even just 20 minutes 30 minutes yeah yeah solitude
239
and you just you know it really helps center you and you know focus on what's important
240
focus on god you know maybe meditating in your brain about
241
things um yeah interesting yeah interesting questions yeah good one good
242
one camille what about i'm looking at my list down here
243
oh without spending money for a week i would like to do
244
that i really would say like all of our bills they happen to not be on
245
that week we don't eat out we get groceries maybe like
246
before we prepare you know we we just yeah we don't
247
spend any money could we do it yeah i mean money has i mean they call it what retail therapy
248
so people do it for stress relief they do it for entertainment I mean, we are Americans.
249
We spend money.
250
Yeah, we shop.
251
So but I mean, I think we've adopted over the years a lot better relationship to spending,
252
but we still do.
253
We spend a lot.
254
Today we have a stovetop and some lights coming.
255
Yeah.
256
So it's tough.
257
It would be tough to do it for.
258
These are like a stovetop is because ours is cracked and broken.
259
And I just want a stovetop that's not and the lights are
260
because the light is not working my son did add a ninja costume into our amazon car
261
and i was like i'll ask dad about it i don't
262
know did you order it no i didn't talk to you
263
about it i wanted to be like does he really need
264
one like it's like 20 euros yeah oh yeah the ninja
265
costume i don't know what would you guys do should we buy the ninja costume
266
or not i like know that society functions because of earning
267
and spending but then i like to think of myself as minimalist
268
and i was doing that while we were traveling
269
because we were in many places we had to carry our stuff
270
so imagine nine months i could live with my stuff in
271
a half of a suitcase calvin has the other half
272
and that's been able to live combined years yeah
273
and you realize how little you can live without but
274
when you get a house and then you're starting to want all the comforts
275
and then just slowly slowly you start getting stuff and then
276
when you travel you're like i'm coming home so you can buy souvenirs and then,
277
yeah, you're spending money.
278
So, yeah, I shake Shane Claiborne says we have enough for everybody's need,
279
but not for everybody's greed.
280
That's a tricky little thing to think about.
281
Not tricky, like a good thing to think about yeah so
282
and the bible says it's more blessed to give than to receive
283
so what if we all did that if we became much more generous
284
and didn't spend so much or
285
if we did spend it would be on others might be a better place i think
286
so yes okay what about the next thing on my list
287
okay could you live without alcohol i could yeah yeah i
288
could easily as well yeah i mean i enjoy it every once in a
289
while but um it's not something
290
that i'm like i need in my life what about the
291
sea could you live without having the sea nearby we can see the sea
292
when it's not raining yeah yeah right there i've lived most
293
of my life i would say most of my life maybe
294
not by the sea it's close now though me too yeah
295
this is one of the few times we've lived here in barcelona
296
and uh hawaii hawaii oh yeah
297
so i guess we have lived by the sea i personally
298
adore the sea it's one of my favorite places in the
299
world here in northern portugal the sea is very cold
300
and it's also very windy usually there
301
so maybe i could live without it i don't know i've been thinking about this going back
302
and forth if you If you think about our trips,
303
like our last trip to Europe and Turkey,
304
we were almost always by the sea.
305
Yes, we choose sea towns.
306
We're trying to look out the route.
307
We went to Antalya, we went to Izmir,
308
we went to Canakkale, we spent time in Salerno.
309
Yeah, the northern area, the town in the north,
310
you know, on the Marmara Sea.
311
We were on the Marmara Sea.
312
Air deck?
313
Air deck, yeah.
314
Yeah.
315
Vondurma.
316
We do.
317
We do travel by the sea a lot.
318
Yes.
319
So we do prefer the sea,
320
but to live without it, I think we could.
321
Maybe if there was a river or a mountain or just like views.
322
Views and water, though.
323
Yeah.
324
Okay.
325
Last one.
326
What about living without your favorite food for the rest of your life?
327
I could do it because I have a lot of favorites.
328
Okay.
329
But if it was like all of them,
330
then I just have to eat like porridge or something or like oatmeal every day.
331
I'd be like, oh, and I mean a lot of prisoners,
332
you know, in bad places,
333
they eat less than that or worse things.
334
Yeah, that's true.
335
We're very blessed to have a variety of good options.
336
Yes, but yeah, so it would be hard.
337
I don't think I could do it.
338
Yeah.
339
No. Well, my favorite food is pizza, like especially Italian pizza.
340
That's your favorite?
341
I love it, yeah.
342
Oh, interesting.
343
I mean, I really like a good sushi roll or Indian food is up there.
344
Thai, but yeah, pizza.
345
Good Thai food.
346
Pizza just takes the cake for me.
347
It's a winner.
348
It's always a winner.
349
That'd be a tough one.
350
It would be hard to live without it, actually.
351
I could do it, but I wouldn't choose it.
352
I think a lot of these are like,
353
I could, but I don't want to.
354
Yeah, it's true.
355
It's true.
356
Food is such another beautiful part.
357
It's like art, you know?
358
People that really value it,
359
the cooks or the chefs.
360
you know and
361
so it's it's important in society to have good food yeah
362
you know it's true therapeutic especially like she made an amazing
363
lasagna I'm excited to eat the leftovers in about 10 minutes yeah
364
and it has meat in it so I won't be eating it
365
but I made it for my family she is a saint with
366
that last comment I think it's a good time to wrap up the video
367
and on that high note yeah I hope this was a good conversation for you guys that you learned a lot.
368
Please let us know in the comments if you could live without some of those things that we mentioned.
369
Or not live with them.
370
Yeah, exactly.
371
Or live, yeah.
372
What did I say now?
373
No, I think you said it right.
374
I messed you up.
375
Okay.
376
If you could live without those things.
377
Yes.
378
Yeah.
379
Should I do the ending again?
380
That's fine.
381
Okay.
382
We made mistakes, guys.
383
So have a great rest of your day.
384
If you made it to the end,
385
thank you so much for your support and we'll see you real soon like subscribe share thanks bye

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.
