Hello everyone!
2
I was planning on doing this video for a subscriber milestone, like when we hit 1 million subs.
3
We seem to have absolutely smashed that, but I'm still gonna do it because you guys seem to have a lot of assumptions about me.
4
Let's get into it.
5
You've never seen the inside of a police station.
6
How is that the first one?
7
I'm gonna go with no and not to jinx myself, but I hope I never.
8
You like eating cookie batter more than the baked cookie.
9
Where did you find that information and why is it so accurate?
10
I think you'd drive a beetle car.
11
No and surprisingly I drive a really really boring car for a woman that loves cars.
12
My dream car is an Alpine A110.
13
No idea why but I always thought you were like 25 to 26.
14
How dare you?
15
Just kidding I'm 22.
16
You are not a fan of cooking or baking shows.
17
I don't watch cooking shows.
18
They stress me out too much and there's only really one baking show
19
that I keep up with and that's the Great British Bake Off.
20
I don't think there's enough baking shows, there is a fly.
21
I personally think there needs to be way more baking shows and if they need a host I'm right here.
22
That's never gonna happen.
23
You are 160 at most.
24
I'm 165 thank you very much.
25
5 foot 5.
26
That is a very respectable height.
27
I'm short, I know.
28
But you are a night owl.
29
No, I'm the exact opposite.
30
I'm a morning
31
uh try to come up with a with an animal here

35
when i eat ice cream after watching your first time playing
36
minecraft i assume you are not a fan of horror films no i watched coralline
37
when i had the flu when i was younger
38
so i definitely had some weird hallucinations because of that sickness and that just put me off horror films for life.
39
I had like nightmares for months after watching Doctor Who so why would I ever look at a horror film?
40
And also Minecraft is a horror film.
41
Bye guys!
42
Here, let me...
43
Okay, a rotating blade doesn't hurt me.
44
Minecraft.
45
Thank goodness.
46
La la la la.
47
Absolutely terrifying.
48
Oh no. No. I didn't die.
49
Oh my god.
50
I didn't panic.
51
Yeah, I'm never getting over that.
52
I hate this assumption.
53
You don't end up eating most of what you bake slash cook.
54
We do.
55
My whole family chips in and we eat everything.
56
Or I give it away to people.
57
Most of what I bake, if not hopefully all of it, doesn't go in the bin.
58
Sometimes it does and sometimes it's that big of a fail.
59
This fly is driving me nuts.
60
Otherwise I do eat it unless it has cream because I don't eat cream.
61
I'm not being mean.
62
I'm really not.
63
Did you or have you been bullied?
64
Again, I'm really sorry there's no need to apologize for

She's not very happy with me.
78
You're related to Sid the Sloth.

80
Hmm, that you don't like pickles.
81
I love pickles.
82
I don't eat them as often as I should, but if they come on a burger, I'd eat them.
83
You're neurodivergent.
84
Take one look at me and I'll let you guys decide that.
85
You're happy living with your family and you have no plans to move out on your own anytime soon.
86
I have no plans to move out because I love living here and I think I'd miss my dog too much.

110
No totally.
111
You like Pokemon cards.
112
I don't know why I just think you would.
113
Give me two seconds.
114
These Pokemon cards are not for me.
115
They're actually my friend Ollie's.
116
You guys know him as Orion Sound.
117
I have no idea what they are, but I travel to Smith's at 9am to get them for him, so I'm sure they mean something to you.
118
You're making very funny noises, Annie.
119
Do you want to say something to the microphone?
120
Thank you for your wonderful input.
121
Your favourite colour is yellow.
122
Um, it's a greeny yellow.
123
It's chartreuse.

125
I love that colour.
126
Like a green apple.
127
so it's green.
128
You have great taste in music.
129
Metalhead in brackets.
130
I think my taste of music would be more leaning on the metal side, my favorite bands.
131
And as far as I delve into metal, I bring me The Horizon and Bad Omens.
132
So take that if you will, if you're kind of, you know, into metal.
133
Some people don't count that as metal, but that's my music taste.
134
I once thought you actually had pink hair.
135
I've never had pink hair.
136
I just wear pink hair nets, and a lot of people think I do.
137
This is my hair, right here, and I've never switched it.
138
You can't tan and burn easily.
139
That is so true.
140
I'm so sunburnt right now, and you guys can absolutely tell.
141
That tan line is fooling nobody.
142
Ace slash arrow.
143
I don't necessarily think that's me.
144
I don't want to put myself into a box like that so I will never say that I'm ace or aromantic.
145
I simply think I'm just happy being single right now and I don't need to put a label to that.
146
You're gonna make eclairs with funky flavors very soon.
147
Give me a second.
148

149
Are they as funky as you wanted?
150
When I first watched your videos I thought you were British.
151
I'm half British so you're halfway there.
152
Becoming a full-time baker wasn't what you thought you'd do in life.
153
Not a bad thing.
154
It's not a bad thing at all and it wasn't really what I thought I would do in life.
155
It's what I wanted to do in life.
156
I thought I'd have to go into culinary school.
157
I hated it.
158
I dropped out.
159
I thought I'd go into paramedicine.
160
But when I look at the actual wage levels of a paramedic and a baker, they're pretty much equal.
161
And then the level of trauma you get from being a paramedic is up here
162
and being a baker is way down here.
163
So I went into bakery.
164
I just didn't expect you to have that piercing from the last post in your story.
165
I have an industrial piercing.
166
A lot of people don't realize.
167
I don't know if you guys can see that properly but that's my industrial.
168
Maybe I'm more metal than you guys thought I was.
169
Actually I have hemochromatosis so I'm very metal.
170
Oh and we're on the last one.
171
You are a social person.
172
I think I'm an extrovert with a time limit.
173
If any event is past like 6pm I'm not going but I would say I'm a social person.
174
I like making new friends so yes.
175
And that's everything.
176
If you guys have any more assumptions about me feel free
177
to leave them in the comments although I might cry and might not reply and might sob myself to sleep tonight.
178
Why did that rhyme?
179
Also I have a book coming out this is not to to promote it
180
but i have a book coming out and
181

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
Explore casual, conversational English through a lively video where the speaker reacts to assumptions about their life. You'll practice understanding natural speech patterns, including humor, self-correction, and quick asides—perfect for improving listening comprehension and speaking fluency. Focus on how the speaker uses tone to convey sarcasm, surprise, and playfulness, then try mirroring those nuances using the shadowing technique.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- Jinx myself: To say something that might bring bad luck (e.g., "I hope I never jinx myself by talking about it").
- Night owl: A person who stays up late (opposite: "morning person").
- Put me off: To make someone dislike or avoid something (e.g., "The movie put me off horror films").
- Hallucinations: Sensory experiences that aren't real (e.g., "She had fever hallucinations").
- Respectable height: A height that's considered decent or acceptable (e.g., "5'5 is a respectable height").
Tips for Practicing with Shadowing
This video's conversational speed and casual tone make it ideal for shadow speech practice. Here's how to start:
- Play a 5-second clip, pause, and repeat it immediately—focus on matching the speaker's pitch and rhythm. The shadowing technique works best when you mimic not just words, but the emotion behind them (like the playful "How dare you?" or the dramatic "Absolutely terrifying").
- Notice the speaker's self-corrections ("morning uh try to come up with an animal")—these are common in real speech. Practice saying these smoothly to sound more natural.
- Use a shadowing site to slow down tricky parts (like the rapid "I had nightmares for months after watching Doctor Who"). Repeat until you can keep up with the original speed.
- Focus on short phrases first, like "Where did you find that information?" or "That's never gonna happen." Mastering these will build confidence for longer sentences.
Remember, shadow speak is about imitation—don't worry about perfection. The goal is to train your mouth and ears to keep up with real-world English.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
