शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Daily Life Morning To Night in English | Easy English Conversation for Beginners - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Hello everyone.

Welcome back to Enjoy English Talks,

the show where every conversation helps you learn.

I'm Erika.

And I'm Marco.

Hi Erika, how are you feeling today?

I'm feeling fantastic, Marco.

My morning was truly lovely.

Really?

What made it so lovely?

I got up early, sat by the window with my coffee,

and watched the sunrise.

It was so calm and peaceful.

Ah, sunshine.

I love sunny mornings, too.

But I didn't wake up early today.

Oh?

Why not?

My alarm went off, and I hit snooze.

Snooze.

That's a great word.

Listeners, snooze means you stop your alarm for a few extra minutes of sleep.

Usually five minutes.

Exactly.

And then another five minutes.

And another.

Before you know it, you're late.

So you were a little late today.

Yes, I was.

Well, that actually connects to our topic today.

Being late?

No, daily routines.

Routines.

What does that mean?

A routine is a set of actions you do regularly,

usually in the same order.

For example, every day I wake up,

make coffee, and open the window.

That's my morning routine.

So, it's like a daily plan.

Exactly.

And everyone has a routine,

even if it changes a little from day to day.

Then I have a routine too.

Wake up, hit snooze, hit snooze again.

That definitely counts.

Now let's talk about our day.

Marco, what's the first thing you do after the snooze button?

After snooze, I finally get out of bed.

Good.

Get out of bed is a very common phrase.

Then I go to the bathroom,

wash my face, and brush my teeth.

Those are the basics.

Wash your face, brush your teeth.

We all do that.

And then coffee.

Coffee is clearly very important to you.

Life doesn't start until I have coffee.

I can't speak before it.

I believe you.

I love coffee too, but I do one thing before I drink it.

What could be more important than coffee?

I open the window.

Fresh air.

Fresh air before coffee?

You're so healthy, Erica.

I try.

The fresh air wakes up my body naturally.

For me, only coffee works.

Nothing else.

Different routines.

Both fine.

Now, breakfast.

Do you eat breakfast?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Erica, breakfast is important.

I know.

When I have time, I eat toast.

Toast is quick and easy.

I eat a bigger breakfast.

Yogurt with fruit.

That's very healthy.

I just have toast with butter.

That's fine too.

What about after breakfast?

Getting ready?

Yes.

I take a very hot shower.

So hot it wakes me up,

like coffee for my body.

That's a great way to describe it.

I take a warm shower, then get dressed.

Ah, getting dressed.

That's my problem.

Your problem?

I open my wardrobe, that's where I keep my clothes,

and I think I have nothing to wear.

But you have many clothes.

I know, but nothing looks right in the morning.

100

I try one shirt, no. Another shirt,

101

no. It takes me 15 or even 20 minutes.

102

Twenty minutes just for clothes?

103

Yes.

104

I have a solution for you.

105

Choose your outfit the night before.

106

Then, in the morning, you just put it on.

107

No thinking.

108

The night before?

109

That's brilliant.

110

It saves time and stress.

111

Exactly.

112

Now you're dressed, how do you commute?

113

Commute means travel from home to work every day.

114

I take the bus.

115

I commute by bus.

116

Is it crowded?

117

So I put on headphones and listen to music or a podcast,

118

like enjoy English talks.

119

Perfect.

120

I commute by walking, about 20 minutes.

121

You walk every day?

122

Yes.

123

I look at the trees and think about my day.

124

No headphones, just peaceful thinking.

125

That sounds lovely.

126

My bus is not peaceful, but the podcast helps.

127

Okay.

128

We arrive at work.

129

What's the first thing you do?

130

Another coffee.

131

That's my second or third.

132

Then?

133

I check emails and start my tasks.

134

Tasks means the work I need to do.

135

Same for me.

136

I read emails first, then plan my tasks.

137

Lunchtime.

138

Do you bring food or buy it?

139

I bring lunch from home.

140

I prepare it the night before, just like my clothes.

141

You prepare everything the night before.

142

You're so organized.

143

It saves time and money.

144

What about you?

145

I buy lunch, usually a sandwich or soup near the office.

146

I don't have time to prepare because of my 20-minute wardrobe struggle.

147

Do you eat with colleagues?

148

Yes, we sit together and laugh.

149

It's a good break.

150

A lunch break is very important.

151

Your brain needs rest.

152

My brain needs food, rest, and coffee.

153

What about the afternoon?

154

How do you feel around 3 p.m.?

155

That's a dangerous time.

156

My eyes get heavy and I want to sleep.

157

Many people feel that way.

158

I feel slow.

159

Everything seems slow.

160

So I drink another coffee.

161

That's number three or four.

162

That's a lot of coffee.

163

I drink green tea in the afternoon.

164

It's lighter and calms me down.

165

Calm and peaceful.

166

That's your style.

167

I'll try green tea tomorrow, after my fourth coffee.

168

One step at a time.

169

After work, how do you feel?

170

Tired.

171

Very tired.

172

The best moment is opening my front door.

173

Home is the best.

174

What's the first thing you do at home?

175

Take off my shoes and change into comfortable clothes, T-shirt and soft pants.

176

Me too.

177

Then I sit on my sofa and do nothing for 10 minutes.

178

Just sitting?

179

That sounds wonderful.

180

My brain needs to stop.

181

Exactly.

182

Then dinner.

183

Do you cook?

184

I try, but I'm not good.

185

One time I made pasta with way too much salt.

186

Another time I forgot it in the water.

187

It turned into pasta soup.

188

Pasta soup.

189

That's creative.

190

My cooking is very creative.

191

Now I just make simple things.

192

Eggs, toast, or I order food.

193

Ordering is fine sometimes.

194

I like to cook in the evening.

195

It's relaxing.

196

Chopping vegetables, listening to music.

197

Chopping means cutting into small pieces.

198

I chop badly.

199

Maybe you cook and I order.

200

Good system.

201

After dinner, what do you do?

202

I watch a series on TV drama, action, or comedy.

203

Laughing helps me relax.

204

I read before bed for about 30 minutes.

205

I try to read, but I fall asleep after two pages.

206

Miss Erica, that means the book is relaxing you.

207

What time do you go to bed?

208

Around midnight.

209

Midnight?

210

I go to bed at 10 p.m.

211

I'm a morning person?

212

I'm an evening person.

213

I stay up late.

214

And I look at my phone before bed.

215

Messages, social media, maybe an hour.

216

That blue light from your phone tells your brain it's still daytime.

217

That's why it's hard to sleep.

218

I know, but it's hard to stop.

219

Try putting the phone down 30 minutes before bed.

220

Your brain will thank you.

221

My brain says thank you, Erika.

222

You're welcome, Marco's Brain.

223

So morning person versus evening person.

224

Both are normal.

225

The key is to know yourself and build a routine that works for you.

226

Work with your body, not against it.

227

Perfect.

228

Let's review.

229

Daily routines.

230

Morning.

231

Wake up.

232

Wash.

233

Brush.

234

Coffee.

235

Breakfast.

236

Get dressed.

237

Commute.

238

Work.

239

Emails.

240

Tasks.

241

Lunch break.

242

Evening relax, dinner, TV or reading, sleep.

243

Perfect, Marco.

244

Thanks.

245

I learned a lot, especially about your night before system.

246

Try it tonight.

247

Now, listeners, please leave a comment.

248

Are you a morning person or an evening person?

249

Tell us one thing you do every day.

250

We'd love to read your answers.

251

Thanks for listening.

252

Please subscribe, like, and share.

253

See you next time.

254

Bye, everyone.

255

Marco, before we finish, let's dig deeper into daily routines.

256

Many listeners want to expand their vocabulary and hear more real-life examples.

257

Great idea!

258

So, let's talk about weekend routines.

259

Are they different from weekdays?

260

Absolutely.

261

On weekdays, I wake up at 6.30.

262

On Saturdays, I sleep in until 8 or even 9.

263

Sleep in means wake up later than usual.

264

I love sleeping in, but even on weekends,

265

I still hit snooze a few times.

266

Some habits are hard to break.

267

What else changes on weekends?

268

I make a bigger breakfast,

269

pancakes or scrambled eggs, and I drink my coffee slowly, not rushing.

270

That sounds lovely.

271

On weekends, I also take more time for breakfast.

272

Sometimes I make an omelet with vegetables.

273

Do you still open the window for fresh air?

274

Of course.

275

That's a non-negotiable part of my routine.

276

Every single day, rain or shine.

277

Non-negotiable.

278

Good phrase.

279

It means you must do it.

280

You can't skip it.

281

Exactly.

282

What's a non-negotiable part of your daily routine?

283

Coffee.

284

No matter what, I have my morning coffee.

285

Even if I'm late, I grab a cup to go.

286

Let's talk about evening routines before bed.

287

We mentioned putting away phones.

288

What else helps you wind down?

289

Wind down means relax after being active.

290

I like to listen to soft music or a calm podcast.

291

Not action or drama.

292

Something quiet.

293

I prepare everything for the next morning.

294

My clothes, my lunch, my bag.

295

That way the morning is smooth and stress-free.

296

You really live by the night-before system.

297

I admire that.

298

Do you also write a to-do list?

299

Yes.

300

Every evening I write down three main tasks for the next day.

301

It helps me focus.

302

I should try that.

303

Sometimes I wake up and feel lost.

304

I don't know where to start.

305

That's very common.

306

A to-do list gives you direction.

307

Even small tasks like call the dentist or buy milk.

308

Write them down.

309

Do you use paper or your phone?

310

I use a small notebook.

311

Writing by hand helps me remember better.

312

But many people use phone apps, whatever works for you.

313

I'll try paper.

314

Now let's talk about healthy habits in a daily routine.

315

You mentioned green tea and walking to work.

316

What other healthy things do you do?

317

Ms. Erica, I stretch for five minutes every morning.

318

Simple stretches.

319

Touching my toes, reaching my arms up.

320

It wakes up my muscles.

321

I don't stretch at all.

322

I go from bed to shower to bus.

323

You might feel less tired if you stretch.

324

Just two minutes can make a difference.

325

Okay, I'll try tomorrow morning.

326

What about drinking water?

327

Do you drink water right after waking up?

328

Yes, a full glass of water before coffee.

329

It rehydrates my body after sleeping.

330

I only drink coffee.

331

Water?

332

Maybe later in the day.

333

Try water first, then coffee.

334

Your body will thank you.

335

You're full of good advice today.

336

Any other healthy routine tips?

337

During work, I take a five-minute break every hour.

338

I stand up, walk around,

339

or just look out the window.

340

It's good for my eyes and my back.

341

I sit at my computer for hours without moving.

342

By 3 p.m., my neck hurts.

343

That's very common.

344

Set a timer on your phone.

345

Every hour, stand up for one minute.

346

Your body will feel much better.

347

I'll do that.

348

Now, let's talk about evening wind-down activities, besides reading and TV.

349

What else do people do?

350

Some people take a warm bath before bed.

351

Others do light yoga or meditation.

352

Meditation is sitting quietly and focusing on your breathing.

353

It reduces stress.

354

Meditation?

355

I've never tried it.

356

I'm always thinking about a million things.

357

That's exactly why meditation helps.

358

You practice letting go of thoughts.

359

Even five minutes makes a difference.

360

Maybe I'll try an app.

361

There are guided meditations for beginners.

362

Great idea.

363

Another evening routine, tidying up.

364

I spend 10 minutes cleaning the kitchen and putting things away.

365

Waking up to a clean space feels wonderful.

366

I leave dishes in the sink overnight.

367

In the morning, I feel annoyed looking at them.

368

So try this.

369

After dinner, wash the dishes right away, or load the dishwasher.

370

Ten minutes of work saves you morning frustration.

371

You're convincing me to change many habits.

372

Change one habit at a time.

373

Pick one thing, like preparing your clothes the night before,

374

and do it for one week.

375

Then add another.

376

That sounds manageable.

377

Not overwhelming.

378

Exactly.

379

Routines should help you, not stress you.

380

If a routine feels like a prison, change it.

381

Prison.

382

Strong word.

383

But I understand.

384

A routine should be your tool not your boss perfectly said

385

now let's give our listeners some useful phrases related to daily

386

routines marco can you list a few sure get up versus

387

wake up wake up means open your eyes get up means leave your bed hit the snooze button we used

388

that make the bed arrange your blankets and pillows Have a shower or take a shower.

389

Both are fine.

390

Good.

391

Also, get ready.

392

Prepare yourself for the day.

393

Head to work.

394

Go to work.

395

Grab a bite to eat.

396

Eat a quick meal.

397

Call it a day.

398

Stop working for the day.

399

Hit the hay.

400

Go to sleep.

401

Informal.

402

Hit the hay.

403

That's funny.

404

Where does that come from?

405

Old days, mattresses were sometimes stuffed with hay.

406

So hit the hay means go to bed.

407

I love learning these expressions.

408

Let's also talk about time expressions we use with routines.

409

Great idea.

410

For example, first thing in the morning,

411

the very first action, right after I wake up,

412

before I leave for work,

413

as soon as I get home,

414

in the middle of the night,

415

if you wake up at 2am.

416

Once a week, for things you don't do daily,

417

like watering plants, every other day, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

418

On weekdays versus on weekends.

419

Perfect.

420

Now let's share a sample daily routine using these phrases.

421

I'll go first.

422

Please do.

423

First thing in the morning,

424

I wake up and drink a glass of water.

425

Then I open the window for fresh air.

426

I stretch for five minutes,

427

and then I take a warm shower.

428

After that, I make coffee and a small breakfast.

429

I get dressed.

430

I always prepare my clothes the night before.

431

I had to work by walking.

432

On weekdays, I bring my lunch.

433

As soon as I get home,

434

I change into comfortable clothes.

435

I cook dinner, then wash the dishes right away.

436

In the evening, I read for 30 minutes.

437

I call it a day at 10 p.m and hit the hay.

438

That was very clear.

439

Now my turn, but my routine is messier.

440

That's fine.

441

Real routines are messy.

442

I wake up and hit snooze three times.

443

Then I get up late.

444

I rush to the bathroom,

445

brush my teeth, and take a very hot shower.

446

I skip breakfast or just grab toast.

447

I spend 15 minutes choosing clothes because I never prepare them the night before.

448

I commute by bus.

449

It's always crowded.

450

At work, I drink two or three coffees.

451

For lunch, I buy a sandwich.

452

In the afternoon, I feel tired and eat a chocolate biscuit.

453

After work, I collapse on my sofa.

454

That means I fall onto it because I'm so tired.

455

I order food or make pasta soup.

456

Then I watch TV for hours.

457

I look at my phone before bed.

458

I call it a day around midnight.

459

Miss Erica, collapse on the sofa.

460

Great phrase.

461

Your routine sounds very real.

462

The good news is small changes can make it healthier without losing your personality.

463

Like preparing clothes the night before and putting down my phone earlier.

464

Exactly.

465

And maybe one less coffee.

466

Try replacing one with green tea or water.

467

One step at a time, right?

468

Right.

469

Now, before we truly end,

470

let's give our listeners a challenge.

471

This week, notice your own daily routine.

472

Write it down in English.

473

Then find one small improvement.

474

Share it in the comments.

475

That's a great homework.

476

Also, if you're a teacher,

477

you can use this episode in your class.

478

Ask students to describe their own routines or interview a partner.

479

Wonderful idea.

480

And remember, learning English is also a daily routine.

481

Even 10 minutes every day is better than two hours once a week.

482

Consistency is key.

483

Consistency means doing something regularly, over and over.

484

Exactly.

485

So make listening to enjoy English talks,

486

part of your daily or weekly routine.

487

We'll be here for you.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
