Do you ever start talking to someone and not know what to say?

That is something that we're going to talk about today.

We're going to help you out with over 100 small talk questions

and answers because small talk is something that we do a lot of.

And I'm really excited because we're going to bring you a fast, spontaneous, native speaker,

English lesson conversation with a lot of small talk

that you can practice with us you can shadow along you can learn how to ask better questions

and give better answers and i have a very special guest with me today the undisputed expert

and champion of being my boyfriend mike what's up everybody glad to be here

so and if you're new here i'm gabby uh i am your american english fluency coach here at go natural english so

So what we're going to do is have this be kind of like a game to see what questions

and answers we can think of spontaneously.

Because as I said, this is unscripted.

We're not just reading because that's boring, right?

So we're going to think about what kind of questions we would ask in a small talk situation

for 10 different categories of small talk.

So we'll share those topics with you and then we'll be brainstorming the questions

and answers in the moment i'm super excited

because i don't know what we're gonna draw we have a hat a hat with these topics

on uh little slips of paper and they're all mixed up and we don't know what we're gonna choose

and we're gonna see if we can get to 10 questions

and answers for each topic all right

if we can't make it you know we'll just move on

but we're gonna do our best should i keep count yeah we'll have to keep count

i don't know how we're gonna do this but we'll do our best all right okay so

So is there anything else before we jump in?

Oh, I wanted to ask actually, because we're making this video on small talk, right?

But we've had discussions before where we actually have admitted to each other how we feel about small talk yeah

so mike how do you feel about small talk small talk's

hard for me honestly uh even as a native english speaker

it sometimes it's hard to to just jump into talking about stuff

that seems mundane or every day

or kind of boring sometimes i like those juicier topics

so yes it's something i need to work on myself

i feel the same no i don't particularly always enjoy small talk

because it can feel very repetitive right i mean we know english

this is our native language we've probably asked the same small talk questions hundreds

if not thousands of times in our lives and

so sometimes it can feel a little boring

but hopefully we'll bring some spicy questions so

that you know you have a lot of options i think small talk can be fun

if you have good questions to ask

and you don't just stick to the same one question like how are you where are you from

so what do you do what do you do yeah what

do you do although i probably will ask you what you do we're gonna pretend

that we don't know each other as well as we do

so like for some of these questions you might wonder like really gabby

you don't know what your boyfriend does for work

this is for the purpose of this this video all right

do you you want to pick first ladies ladies first okay okay okay uh

if i pick the topic then you have to start with the first question okay okay weather and seasonal events

so gabby what's your favorite season oh my favorite season is fall

because it's not too hot not too cold

and i'm not going to ask what about you although

if we were having an actual conversation i would probably say what about you

or how about you and notice that when i say

that i'm not saying each word very separately i don't say what about you you'd probably think

that was a little weird what about you what about you

so or how about you um okay so another question about weather

or seasonal events have you seen the weather report for today no

i haven't checked it yet i mean just looking at the sky

i'm thinking we're in for a really nice beautiful day

but you never know this time you never know

but it is beautiful right now we're very lucky

if you could pick your favorite type of weather to go

have a picnic what type of weather would you choose oh definitely summer uh

and we actually did have a really great picnic a few weeks ago uh

and the weather was perfect it wasn't too hot

because we did it in the evening and yeah it was just beautiful

so summer is perfect for picnics for me um do you know if it's going to rain later today

no i don't um i didn't check the weather report so um i can get on my phone and do that

wait hold on i'm laughing

because i'm really i'm really pushing 10 % chance i'm really pushing to know if you

if you checked the weather day yeah actually

i did look at the weather no

it's not gonna rain maybe tomorrow how do you feel about

rainy days like what do you like to do on a rainy day oh

that's actually a great question i enjoy a rainy day

or a snow day because it kind of forces you to stay indoors inside

and read a book or organize your stuff

or catch up on chores you know laundry or whatnot um

and it's it's nice because you don't have as many options sometimes

when the weather is nice i just want to do everything i want to be everywhere

and um you have less options when it's raining or snowing right

so reading a book

or watching a movie would be my top two choices i kind of love rainy days for

that reason yeah just to get to indoors

and be cozy yes to be cozy do you have any favorite

because we're in summer now right it's august as we're filming this do you have any favorite summer events

or festivals that you like to go to you know we're here in maine

and it's just an amazing you know touristic place to be in summer

so i'm curious if or have you been to any interesting events

or festivals yeah so for me i'm a little bit of a nerd

so i like going to a renaissance fair i like getting dressed up in silly clothing

and watching clowns and performances and fun stuff

and maybe eating a giant turkey leg oh wow you know

that's like a great summertime activity is to go to renaissance fair i love

that yeah i love

that yeah i would say um

100

there's some really interesting festivals around here like there's a seaweed festival i have not been

101

but i would like to go to i think

102

there's an oyster festival there is i would love to go to

103

that there was a clam festival i thought about going to

104

but i did not there's probably a lobster festival there has to there has to be yeah

105

but don't tell anyone this is a secret

106

i don't really like lobster okay all right anyway you're safe with me

107

because i don't either you don't either i don't either that's wonderful it's good for us yes um there's

108

so much in common okay let me think another question also

109

i lost count i have i've completely lost count well

110

i i think you asked the last one about festivals right is

111

that maybe six or so i think that was six okay

112

so we have a few more to go it's my turn oh

113

it's your turn i think oh yeah

114

you're right yeah okay all right um all right in terms of your clothing

115

and like what you like to wear like what's your favorite season for clothing for fashion oh definitely summer

116

because i love wearing dresses even though i'm not wearing one today

117

i love wearing summer dresses like long flowing skirts

118

and in summer you can wear some really fun dresses I mean not you

119

but one when I say you try new things no judgment no judgment

120

if that's what you want to do

121

but yeah it's just nice for me to be able to wear all my dresses I actually have

122

if you look at all my clothes probably 80 % of

123

my clothing is summer clothing yeah did you see the hail the other day yes

124

that was crazy it was crazy because it's august it's the middle of summer

125

and we had a big storm

126

and hail i couldn't believe it yeah i was inside in my home and i

127

and i heard these you know these pieces of ice crashing against the window i was like what was

128

that yeah that's pretty rare for maine i was a little nervous

129

that like my car was gonna get dented up

130

but luckily it was like small pieces of yeah no problem yeah

131

but that was cool that was that was interesting all right gabby um

132

so sometimes i have a hard time figuring out like how to get outside in the winter

133

when the weather is really cool do you have any favorite winter hobbies

134

or activities that you like to do outdoors definitely

135

so here in maine i love cross -country skiing yeah

136

if we get a good snow i'll even take my dog out

137

and take her with me i've tried to get her to pull me on the cross -country skis

138

but we haven't quite gotten there yet um

139

but yeah i love cross -country skiing

140

or even like going on a winter hike um trying to think what else yeah

141

that's probably it yeah i met someone

142

that said they do back country ice skating like they go find frozen rivers

143

and frozen lakes and then they go ice skating in oh my gosh like the wilderness

144

and nature i thought that was super cool wow

145

that is interesting i hope they have a good way to make sure

146

that the water is completely frozen because that's my fear is like

147

that it's not completely ready to skate on but i'm sure they

148

got that covered yeah yeah nice day isn't it it's gorgeous today this honestly like these are the days

149

that i live for like this days like this make living in maine

150

so worthwhile yes it's sunny it's not humid it's dry

151

there's a little breeze in the air like i couldn't ask

152

for a better day agreed yeah all right uh your pick here let's take

153

this one out hmm work what do you do well that's our first question right there uh -huh uh

154

so i am an english fluency coach here at go natural english um okay

155

i am going to ask how about you okay um

156

so i am an outdoor educator

157

so i've been a park ranger i've been a naturalist for the city of portland

158

i've been the director of summer camps for kids doing nature program as a kid

159

so that's what i love to do i love connecting people to nature

160

and the outdoors that's amazing okay so how long have you been doing

161

that wow about 20 years at this point oh my goodness

162

so um i spent over seven years as a park ranger in new york city

163

and i taught people believe it

164

or not outdoor survival skills in the middle of new york in new york city that's

165

canoeing and camping and fishing and all those fun things

166

that you wouldn't think of when you about new york city

167

so that was a really fun job that is

168

so cool to me it's it's super interesting

169

that you've been teaching english as a career

170

and professional like what do you love about

171

that like what is maybe what's really rewarding about

172

that career well i love inspiring people uh sometimes

173

when people are learning a new language like english

174

they don't feel very confident they feel shy they're not sure how to speak up i don't know

175

if you can relate to that but I like to encourage

176

and inspire people to speak up and tell their stories

177

and connect with other people yeah I think you're very good at it thank you

178

I really want to copy that same question

179

because I want to know let me let me tweak it a little bit what inspires you about the work

180

that you do hmm

181

so in my career doing outdoor education I've worked with all ages

182

I've worked with kids i've worked with adults i've worked with families seniors you name it

183

so but i would say working with kids is to me the most inspiring thing

184

because you know for me i i truly believe

185

that nature is healing and

186

that as you know trying to do some good in the world one of the best things

187

i can do is to get people excited about nature yes because when you care about something

188

when you love something you want to take care of it yes

189

so for me um teaching kids about nature getting them out to nature

190

and form that relationship in nature that means

191

that they're going to grow up and want to take care of it

192

so i feel like not only are the kids getting a lot out of it

193

but then i'm helping to grow the next generation of conservationists

194

and people that care about the natural world

195

and will protect it i love that

196

and let me just say it's it feels slightly unnatural to go back

197

and forth the way we are

198

but we're trying to share as many different questions as possible hitting 100 folks yeah

199

we're gonna do it we're gonna do it okay

200

but i do have another question

201

if you don't have one are you please how did you get started in your career

202

so it's a really kind of interesting story i studied psychology in school

203

so i studied counseling psychology and then right out of college i took a job doing work with foster families

204

in the south bronx and that job was so stressful

205

that i basically i lived next to a park in new york city

206

and after work i would just go over to the park to relax

207

and calm down and de -stress and eventually i said you know what one way

208

or another i'm going to find a way to work in this park wow

209

and i sure enough i found out that there were urban park rangers and the rest is history I became a ranger,

210

and that's kind of been my career since.

211

That's awesome.

212

You did it.

213

I did it.

214

Yeah, I love it.

215

All right.

216

So tell me about some other jobs that you had before you became an English teacher.

217

Yeah, I taught several other topics, actually.

218

I taught Spanish.

219

I taught sailing.

220

Okay.

221

I taught keyboarding, which is how to type.

222

Okay.

223

Yeah.

224

I think those are all my teaching jobs

225

i also worked in after school programs for the city of portland also um

226

so that was more of like being a camp counselor

227

and taking care of little kids before and after school

228

but then i realized that i i enjoy working with college students

229

and adults even more um so i kind of gravitated to doing

230

that very cool yeah what would be your dream job

231

and this is not really small talk we're getting into like more deeper questions i like it

232

but yeah i know but i think it's okay you know uh

233

so yeah what is what would be your dream job

234

i think what is your dream job is a totally appropriate small talk question thank you i think

235

that's a -okay and that makes it more interesting

236

and you form a better bond with somebody

237

if you really know them sure

238

i mean maybe not the first question like what's your name what's your dream job i mean but maybe I wouldn't mind.

239

You never know.

240

I wouldn't mind.

241

Okay.

242

All right.

243

So, what is your team tag?

244

Honestly, I would like to be the successor to Anthony Bourdain.

245

Oh, my gosh.

246

Like, rest in peace.

247

So, like, a chef or, like, a...

248

No, more just someone that gets to travel the world, eating a bunch of amazing food,

249

meeting a bunch of really interesting people from all over the world.

250

I feel like we can make that happen like

251

if you all are watching and you're living in different countries

252

and you want to help us travel the world

253

and eat great food leave a comment we'll even cook for you i mean yeah

254

he's a good cook it's true yes okay

255

so i feel like your dream job is closer than it may seem maybe

256

this is the beginning right now yeah making that happen yeah okay

257

see what happens

258

when you go a little further into yeah yes more than yes yes get people out of the shell yes

259

it's a good thing well let's oh i think i asked the last question yes okay um

260

and i really want to turn around and ask what your dream job is but we're trying not to copy so

261

instead i would probably say the same thing what's the worst job you ever had like what's the job

262

that you're just like i need to quit this is awful um well the first one

263

that came to mind it may not actually be the worst one

264

but the first one

265

that came to mind was I was a waitress for just a few months I was in college

266

and I was waiting tables and it was breakfast

267

so I had to wake up at 5 in the morning to get there by 6 a .m.

268

that's when the breakfast the restaurant opened for breakfast and

269

so just that fact was a little bit difficult for me you know

270

and then it was fine I didn't mind it so much

271

but I think just that shift being so early that was hard

272

because as a student I was staying up late studying

273

and just it didn't quite fit with my routine

274

but again I was you know 19

275

I was just uh just doing what I could do to make ends meet

276

so I'm glad I had

277

that experience though even though it wasn't maybe the most enjoyable schedule

278

we've all had survival jobs just to pay rent

279

and get it done yes yeah absolutely but i'm very fortunate

280

that most of my life i've been working for myself with go natural english

281

and doing this so i feel very very grateful very fortunate would you rather work the day shift

282

but only have five vacation days a year or work the night shift

283

and have 30 vacation days a year i mean my first reaction is to definitely say night shift for sure

284

because i'm kind of a little bit of a night owl myself

285

but then my biggest concern is like if i'm working the night shift

286

and and you're not oh i i wouldn't get to spend enough time with you um

287

so in that regards but i know how important travel is as well

288

so it's hard to pass up those vacation days too

289

so i would say i would probably work the night shift okay

290

and do those vacations and then you can record your videos at night

291

and then oh yeah okay problem solved well

292

and hopefully we don't have to choose between those two options they're not ideal options yeah

293

but i had to ask you a question yeah tell me

294

like what did your parents do for work oh yeah

295

so my dad was a counselor uh he was a vocational counselor

296

which means he helped people find jobs

297

so a vocation is your work i thought of another question oh good okay

298

so what are you working on right now i am working on uh recording

299

videos literally right now we're recording a video yeah

300

and creating some new courses and relaunching some exciting things here at go natural english that's exciting yeah

301

well i think that's 10

302

so should we pick another one i think it's my turn

303

i think it is your turn all right oh oh no oh no

304

i think that's the one that's the one okay yeah okay okay

305

oh no news or personal updates oh okay okay so did you see the news

306

that's my question that's my question

307

i guess i should be more specific what have i seen in the news lately

308

that caught my interest um let's launch did you see

309

that okay so i i don't want to talk about politics i really don't

310

but did you see the news about um about there's this

311

tall ship in portland called the eagle oh really yeah okay

312

and they're they're offering tours on it which is pretty cool because so it's a historic.

313

tall ship and the coast guard is using it for training

314

so i think that's kind of interesting

315

so did you hear the news about the eagle i did not

316

but i think like what just happened was really cool

317

because it was like a topic that you wanted to talk about

318

so you almost kind of used like

319

that as an intro question be like hey did you hear about this thing yes

320

and then i can talk about it let me tell you yes let me tell you all about the eagle

321

so that's like a cool small talk thing too yes yes did you hear about

322

so and so did you hear about yeah did you hear the news

323

yeah um no actually so i'll do the same did you hear

324

that actually this path that we're right nearby they just built an extension on this

325

so then now you can take a bike ride on this

326

path 16 miles all the way down to downtown saco that's amazing it's really cool actually i did hear

327

because you told me yesterday but i'm trying to act surprised

328

but but that is that is great news actually that's the kind of news

329

that i want to hear i would love to do

330

that with you someday i would love to do

331

that too i love riding bikes yeah so

332

that would be fun awesome um so i know

333

that you have been interviewing for some new opportunities

334

so how did your last interview go oh yeah um

335

it's going well like i uh i felt really good about the interview uh it was a job

336

that definitely interesting and i think might be a good fit um

337

and they actually emailed and said

338

that they want to send me to the next round of interviews

339

so i guess i guess it went well yeah yeah congratulations

340

because i've heard it's a very difficult time to be interviewing

341

so yeah yeah yeah I feel feel good about it yeah that's great um all right

342

so tell me what you're excited about uh this last week like I love

343

that question I am excited about moving forward with some renovation projects actually

344

so the home I have here is under renovation um there's actually a few units it's a fourplex

345

so we're doing a lot of work like new roof new windows um new bathroom new kitchen

346

it's just like a lot so i'm very excited

347

that i have some good people who are working on things

348

so this week i think we're going to make a lot of progress

349

and by the end of this coming week i will be moving from one apartment to another

350

so i'm excited for that move

351

so a lot of things going on to be excited about do you need help moving

352

i do would you help me i would

353

does that count as my question um we're gonna play the game where we just ask each other questions

354

and no statements i don't think that's a small talk question

355

i don't think i don't think asking someone asking someone to help you move is not a small talk

356

that's pretty serious yeah i guess things are getting pretty serious what's on your agenda for this week i'm

357

so glad you asked so being that it's the weekend um i am very excited

358

that today there is an event that has salsa dance lessons

359

and a salsa dance social event

360

and i happen to know somebody who's really into salsa dancing

361

so i get to go out dancing with my uh very gorgeous girlfriend who knows how to dance very well

362

i think

363

that sounds like an amazing plan an amazing agenda are you going to give me a quick lesson before

364

we go

365

so i don't embarrass myself you're you'll do fine okay

366

you'll do fine you'll do you are doing great you're already okay you're already great all right yes but

367

if you want yes

368

i will please have you checked the forecast for this coming week is there any rain coming is

369

that totally lame that's a lame question well no i mean like

370

um i i i think there's a little rain coming um

371

i couldn't think of a better question right now wait

372

i have one related to the salsa dance thing yes have you ever

373

because i like asking have you ever questions have you ever danced salsa

374

yes i have i mean i'm starting to learn right now

375

so i've i've been able to go to a couple lessons

376

so far um

377

but it's very new to me like i feel like i'm a decent dancer

378

i feel like i have good rhythm yeah

379

but it's hard for me to learn specific steps like right foot here left foot here right less tricky

380

so yeah it's it's challenging but it's a fun challenge it's something

381

that i'm i'm excited about

382

because it's you know it's good to try new things

383

it's good to like expand your your boundaries yeah have you done any traveling lately uh yes actually

384

couple weeks ago i went to new york city and that was also for a dance event okay it was amazing

385

the location of the dance event was in times square

386

so it was very touristic

387

there were a lot of people a lot of things going on it literally all hours of the day

388

and night because as you know new york city is the city

389

that doesn't sleep especially time square yes

390

so i really enjoyed it was three days i think three days no four days three nights if i remember correctly

391

and every day was full of dancing

392

and um pretty you know fun lessons good food um

393

i walked around a lot i think every day between dancing and walking around the times square area i was

394

at least taking 20 000 steps wow at least yeah all right

395

so you know i'm a big foodie yes

396

and used to live in new york city

397

and used to live in new york city

398

399

that you ate in new york city okay well

400

you know some of the time i was just going to the supermarket

401

402

418

and i got i got a little different version i got uh it was on a croissant

419

so i think it was sausage egg

420

and cheese on a croissant no salt pepper ketchup mayo none of that

421

so i'm getting hungry just talking about this i'm a little hungry yeah okay let's

422

i'm gonna go with another question okay yes

423

that inspired me yes what's the best thing

424

that you've had to eat lately like what's what's what's turned

425

you on in terms of food lately you made us cheeseburgers the other night

426

that was like really good plus it's still fresh in my memory

427

but they were really delicious thank you i like how you put jam on the on the bun

428

because it's like the sweet and the salty

429

and then you put jalapenos in it too

430

it's really good sweet salty spicy cheesy umami see we told

431

you he can cook yeah well what's new in your life um

432

so what's new in my life is uh

433

i started learning how to salsa dance yeah all right all right um i mean having a very beautiful girlfriend

434

that does english lessons is kind of a new thing in my life

435

and i'm very much enjoying

436

that that's been the most exciting thing in my life lately um oh i finally got out on my kayak

437

so i love to go i love to go kayaking in the summer

438

but because of just being

439

so busy lately i hadn't had a chance to get out on the kayaks

440

so that was really really fun to get out there

441

and be on the water and just enjoy that

442

that hobby it was beautiful okay i'm gonna pick the next topic restaurants

443

or things around town this topic is definitely gonna make me hungry

444

we're going to ask like 20 questions about this yeah okay

445

so the obvious is do you have a favorite restaurant i do um

446

so for me there's a japanese place called izakaya minato shout

447

out free publicity um no connection not making any money um

448

but no like they're just it's like japanese pub food yes

449

so they have like a little bit of sushi

450

they have a little bit of fried food they have just all

451

that japanese comfort food um that i really really love

452

and every time i go it's just really consistent and really good

453

so that's my favorite place okay um

454

and i'm breaking the rule what's your favorite place yeah

455

you can ask me i really love a restaurant called scales

456

it's like modern it does have a lot of seafood

457

because scales you know scales on a fish uh

458

but they have other things too and it's just creative

459

and they have really good scallops i like scallops a lot very uh beautiful setting too on the water

460

so you're a seafood lover i do like seafood

461

i am looking for a restaurant um in south portland to

462

try can you recommend any restaurant absolutely what type of food

463

are you in the mood for what type would you be looking for maybe like typical like diner food yeah

464

so not too far from where we are here there's a place called q street diner okay

465

and it's like very classic american mom and pop diner oh i love that like a fun term in english

466

but i was also in greasy spoon greasy spoon yes greasy spoon uh it just means like not fancy

467

just low down easy food like good food yeah it doesn't mean

468

that the place is dirty right doesn't mean

469

that they don't wash their silverware no

470

but you're not gonna get sick eating there no

471

but it just means that like it's just it's relaxed yeah it's a relaxed environment and mom

472

and pop is such a great term too it's not a chain yes it's not like a place

473

that you can find anywhere right like starbucks

474

or something it's uh individually owned yes okay key street diner recommend thank you for the recommendation

475

so do you like going out more for breakfast lunch

476

or dinner all the above i love eating um

477

but i would say probably dinner okay

478

i think dinner is traditional to like just go eat a big meal like i know

479

it's great to eat a big meal at lunch too

480

but yeah for me like i want to go to dinner

481

eat a big meal maybe get some dessert maybe have a drink

482

or something with that so yeah i would say dinner is my preferred dining experience

483

when i go out to a restaurant okay

484

if you could pick one type of food that is your favorite

485

so like maybe Japanese maybe Mexican maybe a diner maybe like one genre of food what would be your favorite food

486

I like a lot of different kinds of food

487

but I spent a lot of time in Asia teaching English in Japan

488

and then traveling and I loved the food

489

that I got to try in Vietnam and Thailand

490

so I would say well can i just say asian food okay yeah yeah it's a very wide category

491

but yeah yeah yeah i am a fan um of japanese vietnamese thai food korean food um

492

i'm just getting hungry even thinking about it okay yeah do you like spicy food can you handle

493

i do yeah it depends like i want to be able to taste my food

494

but i do like a little kick yeah yeah

495

it's it's fun like the jalapenos you put in the burgers those are

496

or on top of the burgers yes under the button yes um

497

i can just cut that out my burger secrets the jalapeno placement is very important

498

it's one of my secrets if i have a friend visiting or actually i think my brother might come to visit

499

what are three restaurants you would recommend to take someone to here in portland all right

500

so i'm thinking you want restaurants that kind of like typify portland yes by name

501

so something unique right so don't tell us to go to starbucks nothing against starbucks

502

but you can go there anywhere literally anywhere in the world

503

you can find a starbucks um i would say olive garden really represents portland no stop okay all right

504

so um even though i'm not the biggest seafood person

505

i would recommend a place called even tide oyster company yeah um

506

i know people love them they get really really good reviews they have really fresh shellfish

507

and seafood that came from like right here in the greater portland area

508

and maine so i think that's like a really good portland restaurant it kind of like yeah on

509

that same street i'm gonna go with a place called duck fat oh yeah

510

and duck fat is a little more like relaxed kind of like maybe a good lunch place

511

but they have really really good sandwiches um they're called duck fat

512

because they have french fries that are fried in duck fat with like lots of dipping sauces and things like that

513

and they probably make the best milkshakes in all of maine from what i've experienced really really amazing milkshakes okay so

514

that would be another one of my top recommendations on the right

515

there hmm let's think for a third to round it out

516

i feel like we need like a breakfast spot okay all right somewhere i could get blueberry pancakes

517

because blueberries are very big in

518

maine so this might be the most obvious recommendation

519

because it is a little touristy it is a tourist spot

520

but uh becky's diner i knew you were gonna say

521

that i mean it's quintessential right it's quintessential um they do a good job there um

522

but yeah becky's diner um has all sorts local main stuff main blueberry pancakes

523

and good solid breakfast food and eggs and bacon and

524

and i would add a good uh alternative to becky's smaller

525

and a little bit lesser known can you guess what i'm going to say not q street diner

526

but they're good too um miss portland diner no I've actually never been there either of I what next day

527

all right i was gonna say marcy's diner do you know

528

that one i don't okay it's it's small

529

you can probably only see 20 people in there yeah uh very closely

530

but i used to go there all the time

531

when i was a student um you know they're very fairly priced and generally

532

if you go to a diner it's going to be good prices a greasy spoon a greasy spoon yes

533

so yeah i love marcy's diner they have these um they they they cook

534

or they they grill muffins

535

and they have the best blueberry muffins sold huh okay

536

i want to stop filming right now let's go we're gonna have

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें

पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर topic, lesson, clothing जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।

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।
