I am back home in upstate New York.
4
I'm gonna do a little Q&A with you guys because it's been a minute.
5
We need to do some life updates.
6
I asked you guys on Instagram for some questions and we're gonna get straight into it.
7
But first, let's get back in my house.
8
POV, you are walking through my backyard.
9
Okay, first question.
10
What does the grass in your backyard look like?
11
Well, here it is.
12
Pretty long at the moment.
13
Dad, what are we doing?
14
You need to mow that lawn.
15
I'm totally joking.
16
I'm actually at home right now because my dad just got shoulder surgery.
17
So I'm here to visit and hang out with them.
18
Hello, Dad wish him a speedy recovery he's going through it
19

This is basically our second pet at the moment.
27
My mom has been feeding him.
28
Oh my god.
29
Wow, you guys are really getting blessed.
30
Okay, that was awesome.
31
Anyways, heading upstairs, we have our first question, which is, what's one thing I miss about living at home when I was a kid?
32
Okay, first of all, miss the insane lighting in every room of my house.
33
I love how it goes from bright orange to in an instant, but that's because we're in Andrew's room.
34
Something I miss, but that I still have to this day, is the hijinks that we would pull together.
35
If you think our current videos are funny, bro, you did not see what we were getting up to when we were like nine years old.
36
And especially with our neighbor friends.
37
Shout out Carson.
38
We were outside.
39
We were picking raspberries off our raspberry bush.
40
We were making forts.
41
Just classic childhood tings.
42
Nothing really specific.
43
My family's just so funny.
44
They're like my favorite people to hang out with.
45
I'm really lucky that I get to see them pretty often.
46
And also, wow, shout out Andrew's room.
47
Decorated in a very goaded way.
48
Something else I like about Andrew's room is that he's kept this post-it note up.
49
I think I left it for him one time when I went back to college.
50
Like I was flying back to school and I didn't want to wake him up.
51
So I left him a post-it note and he's left it there for literally, I guess, maybe five years.
52
Here's Ashley's cutesy room with the plants that my mother keeps alive.
53
This is like the OG room and the lighting is fucked.
54
This is where the OG videos were filmed.
55
We streamed Among Us in here in 2020.
56
Oh, those were the days.
57
Someone asked me what my favorite video of Ashley's is.
58
I think my overall favorite ones are the Korea and like family related videos.
59
So bringing our mom back to her childhood home in Seoul was nuts.
60
That was like the pinnacle of our entire YouTube career, our entire family life, our entire life literally is in that video.
61
What a crazy feat.
62
And then earlier this year, we did a cooking video with our harmony, which is our Korean grandma.
63
And she taught us how to make a Korean noodle dish with only Korean instruction.
64
So we had to follow her directions without understanding her.
65
And it was so funny.
66
She's literally the funniest woman ever.
67
That video was really fun because through filming, editing and translating it, I got to see more of my grandma's personality because I literally had to translate everything she said.
68
And for the first time, I like really picked up on every single thing she was saying.
69
And then you guys get to see it too in video form, which is really cool.
70
Overall funniest and most iconic videos of all time are that one Zaful Hall video, insert the clip.
71
Guys, stop! Is your nose bleeding?
72
Is your nose bleeding?
73
Also the Chipotle mukbang in the car, any cooking challenges we've done in our hometown kitchen.
74
Classics.
75
Actually, speaking of old videos, a lot of our earliest videos were actually filmed in my bedroom because I maybe have better lighting in here.
76
Let's see.
77
No, I don't.
78
This is actually hilarious.
79
Okay, you guys might recognize this angle more clearly because this is how we filmed our earliest Zaffle Hauls, Ashley's Band Collection.
80
But this is my childhood bed.
81
And actually the walls used to be purple and my bed used to be pink.
82
Then I became a sophomore in high school and I got sick of it and painted everything white. So boring.
83
Should have just left it.
84
Then people were asking me about how I make my videos and someone's so nice, they said, has it ever dawned on you how amazing your videos are to watch?
85
Stop it, stop it, seriously.
86
Bro, first of all, thank you so much.
87
I'm so grateful to you guys for continually clicking on my videos every time I post.
88
Some YouTubers struggle with that where it goes up and down and up and down, but I feel like you guys are consistently there for me, consistently in my comments, blazing the hell out of me.
89
You guys are so nice, so thank you so much.
90
I'm back outside because it's a vibe.
91
Summertime!
92
Yo, this angle is too fire.
93
I'm sorry.
94
Honestly, okay.
95
This is literally District 12.
96
Are we serious?
97
I even got the color grading down.
98
Someone was asking me my favorite Hunger Games quote.
99
I could think of a serious one, but my actual favorite one that pops into my head right now is
100
when Katniss is doing the evaluation in the first movie where
101
she has to shoot her arrow in front of the capital people
102
and they judge her and give her a score
103
but they're not paying attention to her and they ordered this pig
104
and then Seneca Crane goes hey who ordered this pig who
105
ordered this pig who ordered this pig bro that's my favorite
106
line of the Hunger Games movies seriously love the Hunger Games can't wait for the new movie coming out in November
107
life is good let me switch up my vibe a little
108
bit yeah a lot of you guys have been asking me Amber, how are you doing for real?
109
And I'm like, guys, why are you asking me that?
110
Do I give off energy that I'm not doing okay?
111
The answer is yes.
112
I think everyone can tell my shit's a little fucked up right now.
113
Yeah, my life's crazy.
114
It's okay.
115
Thank you to everyone asking how I'm really doing.
116
The answer is honestly really good.
117
I kind of talked about this in my un-chutting my life video, but as crazy as this year has been, I feel alive.
118
And that is kind of the most valuable thing to me.
119
Like when I look back on years of my life, the good years are seriously boring.
120
And the crazy ass effed up years of my life, They're the most important to me.
121
It's super nuts, but I'm like making myself proud.
122
I'm being brave.
123
I'm making choices to change my life no matter how scary it is and it's crazy.
124
So now I have to answer this most dreaded and most frequently asked question.
125
What is my relationship status?
126
First of all, thank you guys all so much for caring.
127
I think a lot of you guys have figured it out.
128
I am no longer in a relationship.
129
Actually, I have not been since pretty much the beginning of this year.
130
I waited a long time to say anything about this
131
and I'm still not gonna go into it that much because I've never been one to spill a bunch of details.
132
But also there are not many details to spill.
133
Nothing crazy happened.
134
There was no big fight.
135
There are no hard feelings on either side.
136
He's doing really well and I'm really happy for him.
137
He's happy for me.
138
Let's all be chill.
139
But yeah, I just wanted to put that out there so
140
that we can all collectively take a deep breath and move on.
141
Thank you.
142
And that's all on that.
143
I'm in my mom's car.
144
Nothing I love more than vlogging in a car.
145
Let's get that straight.
146
Someone asked, how do you maintain friendships?
147
Funny you ask.
148
I've been having a very friend-centered year and I'm so grateful for that.
149
As you guys have seen, I've done multiple girls trips.
150
I went to Ireland with my hometown friends.
151
I went to Vancouver, Canada with my college friends.
152
Both trips were literally the best of my life.
153
And I think I've always been someone that really, really values my friends.
154
Like I love my friends.
155
Specifically, let me give a shout out to Michaela Boutros.
156
Miss Ireland Ting.
157
She came on the Ireland trip with us.
158
That's my bestie.
159
That is my bestie.
160
Kindest soul ever.
161
Soon to be lawyer queen.
162
Hard working.
163
Amazing.
164
Part of the Alexander family.
165
Queen.
166
This is actually just me grateful maxing.
167
I'm so lucky to have such an amazing family and amazing friends.
168
Not everybody got that.
169
Also, something else super sweet.
170
My friend Molly, who I went to Vancouver with.
171
She mailed me a cookbook that was highlighted and annotated with recipes
172
that she thought I would like because we used that cookbook on our Vancouver trip.
173
So then she gave it to me and wrote all these sweet notes and I was like, girl, that was like the nicest gift I've ever gotten and it's not even my birthday.
174
That's what happens when you have amazing girl friends.
175
So yeah, how do I maintain friendships?
176
I am bad about texting them and they're bad about texting me, so it's kind of good.
177
I'm lucky that me and my friends kind of just get each other and we're like, we don't have to talk every day.
178
But when we do talk, it's real as f*.
179
You just kind of make sure there's an equal balance of giving and taking.
180
If you talk about your business, let your friend talk about theirs Always be an open ear, ready to listen.
181
Sometimes friends aren't talking to you about their problems because they want your help.
182
They just need you to be there with them.
183
And I've also been trying to be better about, like, making plans to get coffee and meet up and stuff.
184
Oh, shit.
185
What the fuck?
186
And my neighbor just got in their driveway.
187
My bad.
188
Remember in, like, 2018, me and Ashley filmed a virtual reality date back here when we ate spaghetti?
189
That video is also really funny.
190
Do you feel like your prefrontal cortex is close to slash has fully developed?
191
If so, in what ways?
192
I think I'm less concerned about being perceived as cool and more worried about just being nice.
193
You'll get it when you're 24, bro.
194
What's your top four letterboxed but actors instead of movies?
195
Josh O'Connor, J Law, J Hutch, Matthew McFadden.
196
What do you do when you're uninspired?
197
I think the worst thing you can do when you are uninspired is try to feel inspired.
198
I'm like, bro, you gotta just sit with it.
199
And when I'm back in the mood to be inspired, it will all come to me.
200
Someone asked me my current favorite songs of the month.
201
I would recommend right now Grass by XTC, Anything by Ween, The whole Olivia Rodrigo album.
202
Guys, let me tell you, when that came out, I was like, girl, I needed this.
203
My favorite song from it is Purple, though.
204
I love The Magnetic Field, specifically All My Little Words and The Book of Love.
205
Old Friends and Bookends by Simon and Garfunkel.
206
Golden Slumbers and It's All Too Much by The Beatles.
207
I Feel It All by Feist.
208
Love Takes Miles by Cameron Winter.
209
Everything by The Sundays.
210
I also just saw Finn Wolfhard live in New York the other day.
211
I'll insert some clips right here.
212
so fun he has a really good music my favorites are objection
213
and trailers after dark I also just went to Quebec for
214
a music festival called Feq I'll insert some clips of that
215
if I have any I was
216
so like just in it I forgot to film anything we got invited to go there
217
and it was so much fun the whole Feq team was
218
so amazing we went with our New York City friends it was a ball
219
so I've been really into live music at the moment that's
220
kind of in my vibe someone asked what's your current Roman Empire great question honestly it's failed soulmates of Hollywood.
221
Specifically, Mindy Kaling and BJ Novak.
222
You know them from The Office.
223
On the show, they're like this messy on and off situationship relationship.
224
But in real life, they were writers on the show.
225
And they were literally that in real life.
226
Like constantly fighting in the writer's room, but completely in love.
227
And they are like soulmates.
228
I need to insert some clips right here.
229
We were in love with each other.
230
And we were reckless idiots.
231
And the two of us would argue about all of these things forever.
232
Grinding the writer's room to a halt until we got too upset
233
and we'd go to our respective offices and slam the door where we would continue arguing over AOL Instant Messenger.
234
But I just think it's crazy because I'm like, guys, did you know you're allowed to be together?
235
No one is stopping you from just being together.
236
Also, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
237
I'm like, why didn't that work?
238
Not exactly the same, but Paul Meskel and Daisy Edgar Jones.
239
Why aren't they together?
240
This is what I am wondering.
241
Then, most unexpected lesson you've learned about yourself this year?
242
I need to trust myself because I always make the right decision.
243
because if I'm making the decision, it's the right decision.
244
This is that 24-year-old knowledge straight up.
245
If you're 16 watching this, bro, just take all of the wisdom from me.
246
I've struggled like you have and now I'm struggling in a completely different way and it's pretty awesome.
247
Life is a movie.
248
Now someone asked, of your YouTube videos, your favorite, most nostalgic and hardest to edit.
249
I really enjoy filming and editing and the whole process of making videos.
250
I just have so much fun and I feel like that comes through hopefully in the video.
251
So I love all of them.
252
Favorite, favorite videos have to be, Like honestly, the Jersey Shore vlogs, those are so fun.
253
I love doing stuff like that.
254
We're just having fun and like, it's really nice that we all have the tools to like edit properly and like make it look good, which is so fun.
255
Also a video that I think deserves more views honestly is cooking viral Korean recipes with my Korean mom.
256
Say Korean as many times as possible in the title challenge.
257
We cooked recipes from Culinary Class Wars.
258
That shit was so fun.
259
And then actually, I think maybe one of my best videos ever, specifically the Hong Kong vlog, I loved.
260
I just loved Hong Kong.
261
It was such an amazing trip.
262
We got sent there by Cathay Pacific.
263
That was an unbelievable experience.
264
It was such a beautiful place.
265
The food was so amazing.
266
I was just like really proud that we were able to do that and that we got that opportunity.
267
And then I really wanted to put out a good video for them.
268
So I went pretty nuts.
269
And I think that video is so cute.
270
Also though, we have a podcast, the beautiful twin sisters podcast if you guys have not tuned in what are you doing
271
but there are a couple episodes of that which are
272
so funny and of course they're both with andrew these two specifically are so funny
273
and then the hardest video to make is the andrew jungkook
274
look-alike contest we literally flew to chicago for barely 24 hours ashley
275
and i were in new york and andrew's in california for school
276
and we met up in chicago just to go to the jungkook look-alike contest which
277
when we were doing it we were like okay are we
278
like doing way too much flying all the way out here for a stupid contest
279
that like Andrew might not even win but then he did win it
280
and we got to meet a lot of you guys
281
and it was just so fun it was like okay we decided to do something super random
282
and it was awesome we got home from the event
283
and all that craziness at like 10 p.m and I immediately sat down
284
and edited non-stop until 6 in the morning
285
and then we had a flight at 8 a.m
286
and I clicked post at 8 a.m
287
and then fell asleep for the rest of my life it was crazy I think it paid off
288
because now it's my most viewed video and it's such a fun video like
289
that was such a random life experience and we have great video evidence of it which is really fun.
290
Hi, someone asked what made you stop being vegetarian?
291
As you guys maybe know I was vegan for over six years from ages like 13 to 20.
292
As important as I think it is to know where your food comes from
293
and be aware of those types of things it can also be pretty damaging to conduct your life
294
and your eating in that way because
295
when you're vegan you have to check every nutrition label to see if it contains dairy or eggs.
296
By the time I was like 20, I was like, I'm kind of done with these habits and like doing these rituals that feel damaging to me.
297
But it's also been interesting because then for the past three years, I've been eating in this way where I kind of like went from this side of the spectrum to the other.
298
And I've been wondering like how I'm doing.
299
Like honestly, I don't know if I was healthier then or if I'm healthy now.
300
And I've honestly been wanting to talk to like a dietitian
301
or a nutritionist because I am curious about these things and get this, I'm actually making this video in partnership with Nourish.
302
So Nourish is the easiest way to find and speak to a registered dietitian and have it covered by your insurance.
303
I've been talking to my RD, Heather, and she is a sweetie.
304
It's been so nice talking to her.
305
We meet over Zoom and Nourish dietitians specialize in a variety of health concerns, whether it be weight management, women's health, gut health, diabetes, things like that.
306
So no matter what your health concerns are, Nourish has vetted RDs for you.
307
It's been like refreshing in a way to see food from a different perspective, to talk to someone else about food in this way.
308
Also, everything's in one app.
309
Between sessions, you can message your RD, you can track your macros, you can log your meals.
310
You can also view your lab results because Nourish can order your blood work.
311
They do a lot.
312
And my RD made me this really cute spread of like a meal plan
313
if I wanted to follow it or if I just want to take inspo from it.
314
And the Nourish guarantee is that there's no surprise billing.
315
Your appointment will never cost more than your estimate and your first appointment is always covered.
316
94% of Nourish patients pay $0 out of pocket.
317
So if you felt similarly to me or
318
if you have your own health concerns that you want to talk with an RD about, I would highly recommend Nourish and you can sign up using my link down below.
319
So yeah, thank you, Nourish, and I hope you guys check them out because they are great.
320
Okay, guys, I'm in my car.
321
Let's go around my neighborhood.
322
Let's go.
323
What's the best show?
324
Succession.
325
How do you draw your eyeliner on?
326
You do it so well.
327
Thank you so much.
328
I filmed a tutorial this morning.
329
Eyeliner tutorial.
330
This is what I'm using at the moment.
331
Basically, any soft brown pencil eyeliner will do.
332
The key to my wing is that you don't go up so much.
333
It's more out.
334
I start with an establishing line.
335
Bottom line fill it in, smudge the top with my pinky, and then bring out the line with my pointer finger to make it extra sharp at the end.
336
Now it like really goes out.
337
Fill it in, smudge the top, and then pull it out.
338
And that's it pretty much.
339
I don't know if that tutorial helped anybody, but that's it.
340
How to be friends as sisters.
341
My sister and I really struggle with jealousy and comparison.
342
This is part of girlhood.
343
Seriously.
344
I feel like it's really ingrained in women to just like immediately want to compete with each other.
345
Lorde and Charlie XCX really went crazy with girl so confusing.
346
That changed my life because I was like, yes.
347
Why are we constantly like having fake beef with other girls
348
because like we think we need to be like in some competition with them?
349
No. Ashley and I grew up really close in age.
350
We're really similar, but also really different in a lot of ways.
351
And I, as the younger sister, always wanted to be exactly like her because she was my image of what a girl should be.
352
A lot of my childhood was me just trying to replicate whatever she did, wear her same clothes, have her same vibe.
353
When really my strength as a person is that I am so different.
354
I have a very distinct vibe as well.
355
The same way that she has her distinct vibe, I have my own distinct vibe.
356
She's that girl.
357
Meanwhile, I'm just a little silly goofy thing.
358
Once I lean into my own vibe, it's a lot more natural for me and people like it a lot more because that's who I should be.
359
I should just be myself.
360
A sister will always get you like no one else.
361
So just cherish that.
362
Is it better to speak or to die?
363
Always speak and then die.
364
Because you can speak and it'll be so dumb that you'll die.
365
Period.
366
Just do it. Have fun.
367
That's what life's all about.
368
Just make a fool of yourself.
369
Also, if you really feel something, you are doing yourself a massive disservice by not shouting from the rooftops.
370
Mount Rushmore of YouTubers.
371
I gotta say Ashley, Bethany Moda, Ryan Higa, and then more currently, I would say Drew Gooden.
372
Did you know that your body is tea?
373
Thank you. And yes.
374
Are you moving into a new apartment soon?
375
I have no idea.
376
Are leasons in September?
377
I don't know what I'm doing at all.
378
Would you ever go back to school?
379
Honestly thinking about it
380
because I have no idea what I want in my life
381
I don't think I would go back in like a traditional sense like school school, but i'm thinking of taking like classes We'll see what happens.
382
My life is all over the place.
383
I don't know what's next for me I guess we'll see together.
384
How are your 20s treating you so far from a struggling 24 year old?
385
They're honestly as crazy as I would expect people say
386
that life is just your childhood and then recovering from it So now that I am in my 20s, I feel like I'm at the beginning of recovering from it.
387
So I'm just like thinking, feeling, going crazy.
388

my hair just to the point where I can put my hair into my pockets Do you see
411
that my braids are super long
412
and I have to braid them honestly every single day to
413
keep them out of my way It specifically gets annoying when I sit down because I sit on it.
414
And then when I go to stand up, I like, when I go pee, I have to put in a bun so that it doesn't freaking fall in the toilet.
415
I vacuum constantly and my hair is still everywhere.
416
Last time I cut it was last year and it was barely a trim.
417
So it's been growing.

Contesto e sfondo
Il video "a much needed life update" è una conversazione informale e accogliente in cui la speaker condivide aggiornamenti sulla sua vita, tornando a casa in upstate New York per aiutare il padre dopo un intervento chirurgico. Tra chiacchiere su gatti, chipmunks grassi e ricordi d'infanzia, il dialogo è perfetto per la pratica di conversazione in inglese: usa linguaggio quotidiano, intonazioni naturali e espressioni colloquiali che riflettono la vita reale. È un'ottima risorsa per imparare l'inglese con i video, poiché la velocità e il tono sono accessibili a chi vuole migliorare la comprensione e la pronuncia.
Top 5 frasi per la comunicazione quotidiana
- "It's been a minute": Espressione usata per dire che è passato del tempo da quando si è visto l'ultima volta. Utile per iniziare una conversazione informale.
- "Speedy recovery": Augurio per una rapida guarigione. Perfetto per salutare qualcuno che è stato malato o ha fatto un intervento.
- "Get up to": Significa "fare" o "impegnarsi in" qualcosa, spesso usato per parlare di azioni divertenti o imbarazzanti. Esempio: "What were you getting up to last night?"
- Shout out to: Per ringraziare o menzionare qualcuno pubblicamente. Utile in video o post social.
- "Classic childhood tings": "Tings" è una variante colloquiale di "things". Questa frase descrive le attività tipiche dell'infanzia, come fare forts o raccogliere frutta.
Guida passo passo per lo shadowing
Lo shadowing è un metodo efficace per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e l'intonazione. Ecco come usarlo con questo video:
- Ascolta e ripeti a bassa velocità: Prima, guarda il video a metà velocità (puoi usare le impostazioni di YouTube). Ripeti ogni frase subito dopo la speaker, cercando di imitare il tono e la durata delle sillabe.
- Concentrati sulle espressioni colloquiali: Frasi come "it's been a minute" o "speedy recovery" hanno un suono specifico. Ripeti loro più volte finché non li senti naturali.
- Registrati e confronta: Usa il tuo telefono per registrare la tua ripetizione. Confrontalo con il video per notare differenze nella pronuncia o nella velocità.
- Pratica in contesto: Dopo aver masterizzato le frasi, crea scenari simili (es. raccontare un aggiornamento sulla tua vita) e usa le espressioni apprese. Questo aiuta a memorizzarle a lungo termine.
Con questo video, il shadowspeak diventa divertente: le storie familiari e gli aneddoti rendono la pratica meno "studiosa" e più "viva". Ricorda: il successo sta nella costanza, anche 10 minuti al giorno fanno la differenza!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso | has been feeding · have been asking · I've been having |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | it's been · she's been · we've done |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | is fucked · were filmed · were actually filmed |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | question, which is · harmony, which is · form, which is |
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.
