शैडोइंग अभ्यास: The Truth About Moving to the UK - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

There is so much negativity about the UK at the moment.

The number of natives that just say this is the worst country in the world...

Thank you.

Hello.

From South Africa.

Hang on.

The number of natives that say the UK is literally the worst country in the world is insane.

And I'm just trying to push back against some of that negativity because it really is so much better than people say.

And in this video, I'm basically going to be telling you why that is

and giving you some reasons as to why you should come to the UK because it genuinely is still an incredible country.

So firstly I just wanted to talk a bit about these people who hate on the UK

because it's mainly British people right

so I feel like no other nationality hates on the UK anywhere near as much as native British people do

and to me it feels like they're slightly ungrateful for it all

and the type of person I'm thinking of tends to be quite young maybe about my age in their 20s

and they move to Bali or Thailand nothing against those countries

but that's just where they go

and they spend the rest of their days there telling you basically just chatting about the UK

and telling you how bad it is there despite the fact

they don't even live there anymore it's almost like they're smug about it

or they're trying to convince everyone else that it's a terrible country

and they did the right thing by leaving

and then they tried to convince you to join the $997 financial freedom course

So you can live like them in Bali

and on the UK on a beach instead

And I just before we get into the reasons I just think this is ridiculous

By the way at the end of this video I will be telling you

if you are looking to come to the UK the best way of doing that as well

Probably should have said that at the start.

Anyway, I just think that's so ridiculous because

One of the things one of the main reasons that they give as to why

The UK is rubbish and why other countries are better as you say.

Oh, yeah, Thailand and it's just like you get so much more for your money, and the cost of living is so much better.

And it's like, do you fail to realize that the reason why it's cheap is because you are British?

It's because you're from the UK.

It's all relative, isn't it?

Thai people, to them, it's not cheap or expensive.

It's just the price is the price.

Okay, if anything, the tourists are making it more expensive.

And I do understand the irony of me filming this video in Korea, but we'll get onto that later.

I'm not here moaning about the UK.

I'm actually saying it's a good place.

that's my excuse anyway anyway the reason why these places are cheap is because

the because they're from the UK

so they have this currency they were just born with

that they didn't do anything so it's just ridiculous them saying oh Britain is

so bad oh it's a terrible terrible country when the whole reason

that the the new place they're going to is cheap is

because they're from there do you know I mean

and another thing is they always say oh it's just

so easy to travel it's so easy to travel

but I think once again they take that they they Take the fact

that they were born in an English-speaking country for granted.

Okay, the reason why it's easy to travel is because the world's language, for better or for worse, obviously it's good for me because I'm an English teacher, is English.

So when they go to these countries, they don't need to learn Thai, do they?

They can just speak English.

And once again, the reason why they are fluent in English without having to do anything is

because they were born in the UK.

So the reason why they find all these other countries so much better than the UK is because they're British.

It's just so ironic that they didn't realise that.

Anyway, that's a couple of the reasons as to why I think it's wrong that some, listen, it's not a perfect country,

I'm not saying that, there are definitely flaws and some questionable decisions made, but I just think that in general a lot of British people take it for granted.

Okay, anyway, let me give you my reasons as to why I I think the UK is still a very good country.

So firstly, this is a random one.

I've just, I've written some of these down because I don't want to forget any.

First one is random and it's to do with the air quality and the nature as well.

The British air is so crisp and clean and it's just it's

when you go to other countries

and the air in some countries feels slightly almost thick

and quite humid as well the uk is not a humid country whatsoever

so when you experience this british air when you go away

and you don't have it and you come back it's

so nice you really notice it and

that ties in with the other thing i wanted to talk about

which is the nature the nature in the uk is incredible it's

so green and luscious we have parks absolutely everywhere

and they're genuinely nice parks you know when you go to cities sometimes

and they have like these these parks in the center

but they're slightly depressing okay the the grass isn't green it's this very artificial color

or it's just like dying like dirty grass in the uk it is

so luscious so

if you get the opportunity to walk around a park on

a sunny day in the uk then it's just such a pleasant experience

and we have that everywhere the only problem is the weather is quite bad okay

so that is one limiting factor but still you have have to take that into consideration.

The second one is also quite random and is the time zone.

The British time zone is perfect.

It's pretty much smack bang in the middle of the American time zone and the Asian time zone.

It's genuinely perfect and that's really useful for you guys

because I'm guessing that if you're watching this you're probably from another country, right?

If you're European then you will be slightly used to that

but for everyone else that's going to be convenient

when you need to speak to your friends or your family back home

and it's also very good for business as well you're perfectly connected with the world right

so there's a lot of people there let's go this way anyway okay all right next one the manners the manners

the manners in the uk uh they're very good

so of course there are rude people everywhere i'm sorry

if you've been to the uk

and had an experience with a rude person it's going to be like

100

that everywhere there are some rude people but in general the manners are just really really good

101

everyone says please thank you sorry excuse me all the time whether they actually mean

102

that is one thing but it doesn't really matter it's still the same effect

103

and with queuing as well we tend to be extremely respectful

104

just the british personality i think is quite respectful in general for most people it's very modest

105

and they don't like to they don't want to ever make

106

anyone feel uncomfortable it's very similar to the japanese culture in

107

that regard i would say

108

so yeah that's something i do appreciate about the country as well the humor the humor is

109

so good the humor is so good it's very subtle

110

and dry and a bit silly and weird and oddly comforting

111

but it's it's unlike any other style of humor in any other country

112

and we have some brilliant TV shows

113

and films I'm not really huge on watching TV shows

114

and films it's just I don't really tend to do

115

that for some reason but I mainly watch YouTube

116

but there are some really good ones I'd suggest peep show it's probably my favorite

117

and we also have the in-betweeners which is really funny slightly you know vulgar

118

but it's fine I'm sure you can take it and there's the only ones I can think of.

119

The UK office as well.

120

Check that out.

121

And just meeting British people, a lot of them tend to be quite funny.

122

It's very...

123

We'll talk about it a bit later on.

124

And the fifth one kind of ties in with this.

125

It ties in with the modesty and slightly the humor because I think this is really funny.

126

And it's these understated expressions we have and if something's understated it means

127

that we pretend it isn't as severe

128

or it isn't as much of a big deal as it actually is

129

so for example I've written some down not bad at all

130

so you might be thinking what does

131

that mean well we say not bad at all

132

when something's actually really good

133

so we didn't say oh yeah it's really good it's amazing no we just say it's not bad

134

or not bad at all that's the extent of the praise we give to something

135

so if a British person says that they're actually saying it's really really good Another country might be like, oh man, it's absolutely awesome.

136

It's brilliant.

137

We're so lucky.

138

Whereas a British person might be like, yeah, not bad.

139

Not bad at all.

140

And that's a huge compliment.

141

Trust me.

142

We also have on the other side, it's not ideal.

143

And that could mean that something awful has happened.

144

And we might say, yeah, you know, it's not ideal.

145

Someone can get a severe illness and they're told that they have to have all of these complicated surgeries.

146

That they're going to miss this number of weeks of work.

147

And it's going to be, well, actually we have free healthcare in the UK forgot to mention

148

that that's another good thing free healthcare yeah hello good thing

149

um what was i saying what's the thing free healthcare um oh yeah someone could get a terrible diagnosis

150

and they would say something such as oh you know it's not ideal

151

but and once again we're downplaying it so so much

152

and it's very modest

153

and i think it's very cute another example i wouldn't say no to something

154

so if you really wanted say a drink

155

or a beer you might say oh yeah i wouldn't say anything to a beer right now

156

which means that you really want one so i just think it's very modest

157

and quite sweet and also we have i've had better days

158

which means that you've had an awful day you say oh you know i've had better days

159

so you get the point now i really like

160

that i think it's a nice detail all right next up we have the food now i know

161

that the the British food gets a lot of stick

162

and I think I understand it but I think the main problem is

163

that British food is very it's not very photogenic so

164

if you see a photo of like bangers and mash

165

or fish and chips

166

or I can't really think of many more British foods at

167

the moment like black pudding a full English it doesn't look

168

that appetizing when you try it it's

169

so nice I've never actually met anyone who has said the

170

British food is rubbish after trying it they'll say oh yeah it's actually really nice

171

and if you don't like British food honestly it doesn't really matter

172

because there are so in the UK you can get any style of food

173

if you're in any sort of city

174

or even a small town they are guaranteed to have multiple Italian restaurants

175

that have some French restaurants some tapas Spanish restaurants they'll have

176

a Thai restaurant they'll have some other Asian restaurants you can get anything you want

177

and also loads of like western burgers and stuff like that

178

they have the usual chains subway okay so there are

179

so many options okay you're not going to be forced to eat eel pie every single day

180

and no one really eats this by the way i haven't met anyone who eats this

181

so the food is surprisingly good and number seven i can't read my own handwriting

182

oh yes it's extremely multicultural there are

183

so many different um nationalities in the uk so many people come

184

and visit and live there and I think that's nice I think in a city

185

that adds that's why a city like Bristol for example one

186

of the reasons why it's such a good place I will

187

talk a bit later on about some cities places I'd recommend going to as well

188

but Bristol one of the reasons it's so interesting because there are

189

so many cultures there there are two universities sorry I'm trying

190

to work out the camera there are two universities there people from all all over the world

191

and it just has this influence on the UK

192

and for you that's going to help you feel a bit more comfortable as well

193

if you come here and the last reason

194

that I've written down is the history the UK has been around England's been around for

195

so so long I'm English I'm kind of referring to just England when I say the UK.

196

I know I shouldn't do that, but yeah.

197

That guy's got a Man City top on.

198

Anyway, it's an extremely historical place and you might be thinking, oh wow, why does that actually matter?

199

Well, it's just cool, it's cool.

200

So if you graduate university, then during the ceremony, you're going to have all of these really cool traditions.

201

You're going to have people coming in all these different gowns doing these rituals.

202

We have so many old beautiful historical buildings from all of these years ago and

203

It just I'm not really that into history to be perfectly honest with you, but I still think it's nice.

204

I like it a lot Anyway, if you are looking for some recommendations on places to visit I am

205

I'd recommend London 100% it is expensive I'm just going to warn you and I haven't covered any of the negatives here.

206

There are negatives of course.

207

I'm just focusing on the positives here.

208

Alright, I'm not being biased.

209

So yeah, definitely London, you need to experience that.

210

It's a big city but it's really cool.

211

It's very special.

212

Bristol, as mentioned.

213

Oxford, which is a very beautiful city right next to London.

214

It's so green and nice.

215

Bath as well.

216

And not just in the south.

217

I'm southern so I don't want to be, I don't want to say that there are no nice cities in the north.

218

For me, I've mainly visited the ones in the south.

219

I did live near Manchester for quite a few years.

220

Manchester is a cool place.

221

I like it there a lot.

222

People are very nice.

223

And also the Lake District, there's so much incredible nature.

224

Scotland is probably the most beautiful place I've ever been to in my life.

225

I'm being deadly serious.

226

The problem with Scotland is the weather is bad.

227

The weather is bad.

228

In the UK, the weather does tend to be...

229

I had a comment the other day saying the camera is too close to my face.

230

I apologize for that.

231

it's kind of hard to i need to buy a new

232

camera really anyway the uk the weather does tend to be quite bad

233

but in scotland in particular it's always raining which is such a shame because

234

in terms of nature and how green it is

235

and how few people there are there it's probably one of

236

the most beautiful places i've ever been to in my entire life yeah

237

so those are a few suggestions for you now as promised i'm going to tell you about

238

if you are if you're convinced

239

and you want to come to the uk then you're going to need to i understand

240

that it might be a bit daunting

241

because there are a lot of very important cultural nuances in the uk you can't say this you can say

242

that and also i know the speaking listening accent all these things can be quite tricky as well

243

so for this i have two solutions okay

244

so firstly i have an online course it's not like the

245

courses i was talking about earlier no it's everything you need to know about coming to the uk

246

and achieving fluency there are over 210 lessons

247

that took me a year to make interactive exercises all these pdfs

248

and stuff like that it's a serious course

249

and there's a money back guarantee i promise

250

if you take this you will know everything you need to

251

know about being a native british speaker that's a fact and

252

if not i'll just give you your money back and

253

if you'd like some live practice i do also have a

254

private community where we have seven live calls every week you can practice speaking with me

255

and we also have accent lessons we have an actual modern rp british accent specialist as well

256

and it's just a really fun place we have daily posts

257

and messages so if you prefer live support the community

258

if you want to learn everything self-paced the course is perfect for you

259

and yeah that's pretty much it

260

and all of the links are in the top comments yeah guys those are the ways in

261

which i can help you and those are the reasons why i think

262

that the uk is genuinely a pretty amazing country there are flaws as i say

263

but i feel like in general it's still definitely worth visiting here yeah all right thank you

264

so much for watching i hope you enjoyed this one and

265

if you did i'd probably recommend watching this video right here it's very similar

266

so check out those links if you'd like to learn with me even further

267

and i'll see you guys again very soon for another video all right adios

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।
