But I'll tell you more about that later.

Let's get started with our conversation listening and speaking practice.

You're going to watch a short one to two minute clip from every year in the Fearless Fluency Club.

You'll be introduced to 10 different native English speakers starting from 2026, 2025, 24, 23, 22, 21,

20, 19, 18, 17, 2016.

Let me just say in 2016, I looked much younger.

It was before children.

Maybe that's why.

And you will immerse yourself in the conversation for a short period of time,

a variety of topics, a variety of speaking styles and vocabulary styles.

And then you will have a chance to practice speaking with me throughout today's lesson.

So listen carefully so that you can practice speaking.

Our first 2026 conversation is featuring Greg.

You might know him from the YouTube channel English with Greg.

He is from the UK, but he lived in the US for three years, a couple of years ago,

and he made friends with some surprising people in his neighborhood.

So, let's watch this little clip, listen carefully, and then we'll practice speaking.

Let's watch.

I went to a load of garage sales

and well my wife was learning the job okay

and I just went to all the neighborhood garage sales

and I met I met one guy he had a bike for sale

which was ten dollars

and I said I never had the difficult conversation like oh

well you're British where are you from what you're doing here blah blah blah

and then he said to me many years later he said I just had a feeling about you man

so because at the time he said um he said well boys

and a few neighbors we're having drinks on the porch this friday

if you want to join that's nice and uh

and i was like yes we have friends i mean that's it

so we went and they are some of the

if not the best friends that we have ever had yeah oh that's

so great just that serendipitous he connected he felt like Yeah.

I think you're cool.

And getting together.

Great job listening to that short conversation clip.

Now I have a question for you.

I'm going to ask you the question.

I want you to listen to it.

Think about it.

If you need to pause this video, that's okay.

You can think about it for a little longer.

And I want you to speak out loud.

I have magical teacher ears and I can hear you no matter where you are around the world.

So make sure that you're speaking out loud.

Are you ready?

My question for you is this, have you ever made friends with someone from another country?

Tell me about it.

Okay.

So I'm going to pause and this is your chance to speak out loud.

Tell me about a friend you've made from another country.

Go ahead.

Great work.

Now let's go on to the conversation from 2025 with Tara about natural disasters.

She's talking about a huge hurricane that happened in my town of Asheville, North Carolina.

She is also an English teacher in my town

and she is going to be talking about some of her students

and what happened after the hurricane and how they came together to help each other.

Let's watch and then you'll speak.

Go.

I wasn't directly close to anybody who totally lost their home, but there was two students in my class that lost their home from Korea.

They had moved here, they had three children they lived in an apartment

and the first um floor of the apartment flooded

so they they they survived they grabbed i think their computers

and their files and they got they just went to the top of the apartment

and they just washed the whole apartment

um washed away so we came back to class

and most of my students are from like ukraine

and russia in latin america okay

and we're just kind of practicing past tense talking about what happened to us with the storm

and everybody's kind of got similar stories of you know it's hard for everybody

but then this korean couple shared and the they were sharing about it

and all of a sudden she just starts crying yeah i mean

and my students were just so they tried to comfort her and yeah

and you know what she wanted more we're like what do you need you know

and she said um i just really want my kids to

have books you know they just love education you know

100

and she's like they lost all their books

101

so like we got people to donate books like you know

102

that for their kids ages yeah

103

and they eventually ended up moving they moved to seattle so now that they're a little closer to Korea, South Korea for if their parents come visit,

104

but they just ended up just trying to start all over.

105

All right.

106

Now it's your chance to practice speaking.

107

This is a pretty heavy topic, but it's okay.

108

I want you to be able to speak about more than just your job and your weekend plans.

109

We are expanding your English skills.

110

So my question for you is, has your country ever experienced a natural disaster.

111

What happened?

112

Think about it for a moment and then speak out loud.

113

Go ahead.

114

Great work speaking about a natural disaster.

115

We are going to go to a completely different topic In 2024, you are going to meet my brother-in-law and sister-in-law,

116

and they're going to talk about love and marriage.

117

Let's watch their conversation and then we'll talk about it.

118

Our first year of marriage was crazy because we got married,

119

lived for three months in a little apartment and then moved to South Korea to teach English.

120

So the only people we knew were Dan and Vanessa.

121

In Korea, halfway around the world.

122

And they were even an hour away from us so they weren't our next-door neighbors.

123

Yeah, so you also had to rely on each other.

124

So we joked on it before after the fact

125

that we'd either end up divorced after that year or we were together forever.

126

We made it.

127

It's a make it or break it time.

128

Yeah, I think that's true throughout our marriage though.

129

I think a lot of like COVID has been a pressure cooker for a lot of people's marriages.

130

And for us, the more time we have together, the stronger we are.

131

We don't bump into each other.

132

um if we have time apart that's whenever we start to bicker

133

because we just need time together you kind of miss each other quality time is our love language

134

and you have a lot of opportunities for that in korea

135

and make time for that now yeah all right my question for you is this

136

if you are someone who is married what was the hardest part of your first year married think about it

137

and then speak out loud.

138

Great work.

139

So do you see here how we have a variety of speakers within the Fearless Fluency Club

140

that you are going to listen to, test your listening skills with, but also a variety of topics so that you can practice speaking.

141

Now let's go on to the 2023 conversation.

142

This is another heavy one.

143

You are going to hear about how a therapist helps young people,

144

teenagers, to get out of addiction.

145

You might not think that teenagers can be addicted to alcohol or drugs or even social media,

146

but it is possible and they need help.

147

So you're going to hear this conversation clip and then we're going to talk about it.

148

Let's watch.

149

So my title is Adventures and Wellness Director, but with that, I do individual counseling.

150

I take individuals out on hikes, get them in nature.

151

What kind of individuals are these?

152

So these are individuals that are are struggling with substance abuse.

153

With that being said, there's mental health that goes into it, there's eating disorders, there's legal issues, and so there's X, Y, Z.

154

I bet that's all linked together pretty easily.

155

Yeah, all components go together, but it's pretty interesting.

156

That seems really unique.

157

So how did you get into this? Because

158

when I think about a therapist I don't think about an

159

adventure there right for kids like you kind of think about older people maybe

160

but you're dealing with young kids absolutely absolutely

161

so I'm actually in recovery myself I struggled with substance abuse for eight years

162

and it was a long road to finally get myself out of

163

that hole I bet with that being said through the years of getting sober

164

and doing more research and kind of figuring out who I wasn't, not who I was, but who I wasn't, it kind of put me into the path of this is what I like to do,

165

this is where my interest is, this is where my passion is.

166

And then it was like, okay, how do I facilitate this to others?

167

Yeah, and you're probably one of the perfect people to understand them.

168

And maybe when they talk with you, they're not like, who is this guy?

169

But you get it.

170

You really understand.

171

All right.

172

We're getting our serious caps back on for a moment, and I'm going to ask you our conversation question.

173

Do you know anyone who is addicted to something?

174

Alcohol, drugs, the phone, anything.

175

Tell me about it.

176

Thank you for sharing something difficult and vulnerable in English.

177

You did it.

178

Let's go to our next topic.

179

In 2022, I had a conversation with Lana about tattoos.

180

She has a lot of piercings.

181

She has colored hair.

182

She has a lot of tattoos, and she's going to share about her tattoo experience in this short clip from our full conversation.

183

I think you'll enjoy it let's watch like

184

and that's another thing tattoos do for you is they like create depth

185

and like something that maybe you don't quite enjoy about yourself

186

so i've always thought my hands are stubby i got stubby hands

187

so i got tattoos on them

188

and i love looking at them now it's just it's it's weird like how

189

that something so simple like that can change sure

190

that makes sense though yeah self-image you know um

191

so these tattoos i have on this arm a lot of them are um nerdy tattoos

192

or like very self-expression yeah yeah studio ghibli i have a cry baby

193

and like people ask me if it's from an artist

194

or i just cry a lot it's just something

195

that i do personally it is your personal i just like

196

to let people know like shake their hand i cry a

197

lot just to let you know just let you know cry

198

a lot don't even have to say anything um this is

199

a xenomorph from the movie alien wearing a schoolgirl uniform and eating tempura.

200

Okay.

201

Yes.

202

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

203

So, oh, okay, right here.

204

Yes.

205

That has a deeper meaning, I swear.

206

Some all of those things together.

207

I swear it has a deeper meaning.

208

It doesn't.

209

Even if it's something that you love.

210

Yeah, no, it really is.

211

Like, I'm a huge sci-fi fan.

212

I'm a huge anime fan.

213

It's from the anime Kill la Kill.

214

Like, they have this image pop up.

215

And it's literally like a millisecond that it's on the screen.

216

I saw I was like what and I like found it

217

and I like googled really hard

218

so like I thought I was hacking the system I want

219

that I wanted it and I found it

220

and I took it to my boyfriend at the time it was a tattoo artist I'm like this

221

and he's like okay

222

so he tattooed it on me all right now it is

223

time to talk about tattoos I want to know do you have any tattoos

224

if not would you ever get a tattoo Why or why not?

225

Tell me about it.

226

Go ahead.

227

Thank you for telling me about your tattoo experience and your tattoo ideas.

228

Let's go on to our 2021 conversation about Hollywood.

229

You are going to meet Kevin who moved to Hollywood and became a server in a restaurant.

230

It's called Patina and Muse.

231

It has a couple different names and he's talking about some celebrities that he met while he was in Hollywood.

232

Let's watch.

233

That was kind of what made the restaurants, these high profile people.

234

Sure.

235

I'm sure that's what it was famous for.

236

I almost got fired because of Drew Barrymore once.

237

What did she do?

238

She kissed me.

239

That was a really nice kiss, actually.

240

Well, that is quite ironic.

241

That was a patina.

242

Never been kissed Drew Barrymore.

243

That was patina.

244

I worked, I left Muse after a while, and I got, I did a couple of films, some small films and commercials and some of that.

245

Yeah, I was going to ask what happened with the acting scene.

246

Yeah, so I mean, within the first, like, say, two months that I was there, I was sleeping I was working on the couch at my friend's house and his roommate,

247

and he lived with me in New Orleans for a little while.

248

He said, when you come to LA, you took care of me and you've got a spot.

249

It'll be on the couch, but ...

250

Now, some speakers like Kevin are pretty tricky to understand.

251

In the Fearless Fluency Club, what we do is we use the conversation breakdown method.

252

Every month we study a 30 minute conversation and then I break down the vocabulary,

253

the phrasal verbs and the pronunciation that's within that conversation so that you are learning real life vocabulary,

254

real life grammar and real life pronunciation.

255

And it helps you be able to understand the conversation better,

256

but it also helps you be able to use English in the real world in the most natural way possible.

257

If any of these conversations seem extra tricky to you, don't worry.

258

In the Fearless Fluency Club, I help you completely.

259

All right.

260

My conversation question for you is, I want to know, have you ever met a celebrity or someone who's famous?

261

Let me know.

262

Tell me about it.

263

Go ahead.

264

I have to tell you something funny.

265

A couple of weeks ago, I met one of my YouTube students here in my town

266

and she told me that I was the most famous person she had ever met.

267

I don't really think of myself as somebody famous, so it was really funny and kind of surprising to hear, but pretty cool too, right?

268

Now it's time to go to 2020.

269

You're about to see a conversation about sustainable fashion.

270

This is something that is a movement or a revolution.

271

It's a passion for a lot of people.

272

So I want you to listen carefully while the speaker tells us about what she's passionate about.

273

And she mentioned something called EcoView.

274

This is a fiber factory

275

where she works in my town and it processes sheep and alpaca wool to be able to make sustainable

276

fabrics and sustainable yarn.

277

It's a very interesting thing.

278

In that full conversation, we talk a lot about it

279

and I go on a tour of the fiber mill where she works so that you can see it, but we're just going to watch a short clip here.

280

Let's listen and then I'm going to ask you my conversation question.

281

Let's go.

282

You know when I grew up my great-grandmother

283

and my grandmother they were really into sewing and crocheting

284

but it wasn't until I moved to Asheville a few years ago and I walked into a store downtown called Earth Guild.

285

Oh yeah the one over here?

286

Yes I know like right down the street.

287

Cool.

288

And I saw the yarn they were selling

289

and I was like oh I should do this

290

and like a month later

291

or like two months later I had just like fallen into this hole

292

and I found echo view online and saw that they gave free tours

293

and that was my introduction to environmental like an environmentally friendly fiber mill

294

and like sustainable clothing okay and I went on a tour

295

that day and at the end of the tour I was just talking to Grace who worked there and I was like, I'd love to work for a place like this.

296

And she said, well, we have a spot hiring.

297

What?

298

That's how I got a job.

299

Yeah, it's crazy.

300

That's cool that you just took that moment to put yourself out there and she's like, as a matter of fact.

301

Yeah.

302

So now I want to know for you, do you make any crafts or art?

303

What is it?

304

Tell me.

305

Go ahead.

306

Thanks so much for sharing that with me.

307

Now let's go on to 2019,

308

where we are going to meet someone who hosts and organizes a big haunted house during the month of Halloween in October.

309

you're going to be listening to a little bit about fear.

310

So think about things that make you feel afraid and then we'll talk about it in just a minute.

311

Let's watch.

312

We get a lot of high schoolers, a lot of families.

313

Are there any young children?

314

What's the youngest that generally comes?

315

And that's, so we put a suggested- How scary is this?

316

Yeah.

317

We say no one younger than 10, we suggest no one younger than 10 come through.

318

Okay.

319

But of course it's up to the parents.

320

And to be honest, we've had, and by doing this so many years you start seeing the same people every year

321

and we've had this one guy and his daughter who

322

when she they first came through she was young enough for him to hold like she was probably like three

323

or something and she just laughed at everything like didn't nothing scared her nothing

324

because i was like i wonder

325

if she's like at the age where like everything will scare yeah every everything's scary

326

or you don't understand what fear or what scariness is

327

so these fantastical things you're just like oh that's funny that's just a thing yeah

328

and kids have big imaginations anyway so maybe that's just how they view the world.

329

Yeah, so they'll go through laughing

330

and then we'll have like big college like dudes come through who need to be let out.

331

Yeah, so is there an escape?

332

Can they get out if they want to and need to?

333

We have, so in every single room we have a safety plan posted up on a wall

334

so that the workers in that room know what it is and we have different codes like a code red, a code blue or coat green depending on what's going on

335

so that if someone's too scared to go on we uh

336

me or somebody else who's not scaring actively scaring people

337

but we're just roaming making sure things are working uh can escort them out

338

so now i want to know what is something that scares you.

339

Think about it for a moment and then speak out loud.

340

Go ahead.

341

Great work.

342

In 2018, one of the conversations that we studied was a conversation with a famous musician in my town.

343

She is named Sparrow, and she's going to tell us a little bit about her background with music and how she got into it.

344

Let's watch.

345

My parents weren't particularly musical, but they were very encouraging of me doing whatever it was that I was excited about.

346

Nice.

347

So that was figure skating for like seven years.

348

Oh, cool.

349

I was one of those kids that was always scheduled from morning to night.

350

Oh, really?

351

I'm usually at my own choice.

352

I just wanted to do all of the things all of the time.

353

You gotta get it all in somehow.

354

Gotta make it a schedule.

355

So I played viola in orchestra when I was a teenager and an older kid.

356

Did you just get given the viola as an option or did you choose it?

357

I think I always was drawn to play slightly unusual instruments.

358

Yeah, the violin is like a cello.

359

It's the viola.

360

Yeah, I never wanted to do something that everybody else was doing.

361

Gotcha.

362

That seemed boring to me.

363

I'm not going to go with piano.

364

We got viola.

365

So viola eventually led to violin later on

366

when I stopped playing in the orchestra and I started getting interested in folk music.

367

And now I want to know for you, what kind of music do you like?

368

Do you play any instruments?

369

Let's talk about it.

370

Go ahead.

371

Thanks for sharing that with me.

372

We're down to our final two conversations.

373

In 2017, I talked to Ted about his experience working in restaurants.

374

He's going to tell us about a unique experience that he had working in Portland, Oregon, working in a specific type of food shop.

375

Let's watch.

376

And in Portland, I did two significant things in the culinary world.

377

I was the manager of a flagship donut shop in a very donut competitive industry there.

378

Not many cities are competitive donut industries.

379

These people are nuts about donuts in Portland.

380

Every Saturday we would have a line of 100 people plus out the door before we open the shop.

381

What?

382

It's a thing and it's also a tourist destination.

383

A lot of people from Asian countries come there because they see the Food Network special.

384

The chain I worked at had locations in Japan for a while so they hear about these donuts.

385

We're going to definitely get a donut while we're in Portland.

386

So that was a big deal.

387

I worked like a dog for that place and it was well worth it.

388

My hands made it onto the travel channel there.

389

All right.

390

I didn't find the disclosure and some of my other people did they faced on the camera, but I'm shown frying the donuts myself, glazing them, presenting them, putting the plates out.

391

That's what I'm proud of the most is my work to make that quality product.

392

You know what I'm saying?

393

I would never have guessed that donuts could be a competitive industry, but I guess they are.

394

So I want to know for you, what kind of desserts do you like?

395

Let me know.

396

I'm listening.

397

Thanks for sharing with me.

398

I would love to try that too.

399

And now our final conversation from 2016, when I first started the Fearless Fluency Club,

400

and I was interviewing native English speakers about a lot of different topics.

401

One of those we studied in 2016 was this conversation with Michael David about Asheville, this town where I live,

402

where he has lived his entire life and his family has lived for a really long time.

403

And I want you to listen to his style of speech, see what a little baby I looked like.

404

I was pregnant with my oldest child.

405

This was 10 years ago.

406

Quite amazing, but the conversation is still interesting.

407

So let's watch.

408

Well, I was born here in Asheville.

409

I can trace my family back to the 1770s here.

410

What?

411

That's pretty impressive.

412

For the US too, people can't do that.

413

Some of my friends would argue that I was here in the 1770s, but...

414

Because you know everything.

415

So I was born here, born and raised here, went to school here.

416

A week after graduation, I moved to Greenville, South Carolina.

417

That's where I grew up.

418

Really?

419

Yep.

420

Spent about three years working in a radio station down there.

421

Moved back up here to take care of my grandparents.

422

And then I have played in Treasure Island, Florida, and Dallas, Texas for about a month or two and then came back home.

423

This is it.

424

Because this is where my roots are.

425

This is home.

426

I can't move anywhere, but I sure can travel.

460

I always thought English was too difficult, but now after your classes, I changed my mind.

461

Thank you so much.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
