What's up everybody?

叫个吧, 叫个吧, 叫个吧, 乖着来, 喂?

Podcast Slow and Clear 过 What's Up English In this video,

I'm going to show you guys a way to learn English from my videos

whether they are my vlogs or my podcasts you can use this method to learn English

really effectively and actually remember what you learn.

Now, if you are someone who watches my videos each week and you learn English like that,

then that is totally fine.

That's, you can learn English in that way.

But this method is going to be for people who

maybe have less time and they want to learn with a bit more structure and they want to learn more efficiently,

then you can use this method to learn and remember what you learn from my videos.

So as always, this video has a free PDF that you can download right here with the QR code

or click the link in the description.

And in that PDF, you will get the full vocabulary list of some of the difficult

or related words to this video and also the full transcript.

And by the way, at the end of this video,

I will show you a way that you can use that PDF to learn English.

All right, so let's get started with the method.

So this method is a three-step method.

And one way you can look at it is like step one,

you plant a seed.

And then step two, you water the seed.

So let me explain what I mean.

Okay, so for step one,

I recommend you watch the video for the first time with the subtitles.

And the goal of this step is to watch the video and try to understand as much as you can,

even with the subtitles.

So if there are some new grammar structures or new vocabulary words that you see,

your job in this step is to learn those things.

And when I say learn, it doesn't mean remember.

Not yet.

Just try to learn what they mean and plant that seed in your brain.

Now, if you are a beginner,

then maybe you can just watch five minutes of the video,

a few minutes, and then,

whoa, that's a lot of information.

Then you have to take a break.

That's totally okay.

Or if you are more advanced,

you could watch the entire video and try to learn as much as you can from that video.

Whether it is a podcast or a vlog,

you can do the same thing for both of those videos.

All right, so that is step one.

Watch the video with the subtitles and try to learn as much as you can.

Any new words or sentence structures, whatever.

By the way, if you can understand this podcast,

but you still struggle to speak,

then make sure to check out my complete American English pronunciation course.

In this course, you'll learn all 44 sounds in the IPA,

along with the more difficult sounds like linking words,

the ending S, and much more.

Plus, you'll be able to actually master speaking these sounds with our special chorusing tool,

where you can practice hundreds of common words and sentences for every sound.

Over a thousand students have already transformed their pronunciation.

Just scan this QR code or click the link in the description to see if it's right for you.

Okay, let's get back to the podcast.

So that's planting the seed.

Now, after you plant the seed,

what do you have to do?

You have to water the seed, right?

If you just plant it and don't water it,

then the seed is just going to die.

So for step two, let's water that seed.

How do we do that?

To water the seed, you can wait a few days,

maybe one, two or three days,

and then watch that video again.

So watch the video or the part of the video that you watched in step one.

For step two, you simply watch that video again,

but this time you don't look at the subtitles.

The goal of this step is to try to understand as much as you can without looking at the subtitles.

So you're trying to remember what you learned from step one.

So for example, if in step one you watched it for the first time and there were a few new words.

In step two, when you watch it without the subtitles,

your job is to try to remember the meaning of those words.

And when your brain has to work to remember the meaning,

this is what forms stronger connections in your brain to remember those words for longer.

So basically, the harder your brain has to work,

the better you will remember those things.

So if step two for you is very difficult trying to remember,

oh, what did that word mean?

What was that?

Because you're not looking at the subtitles,

then that is really good for your brain.

When it's thinking about the meanings, it's forming connections.

so that's your job for step two is watch it again without the subtitles

and try to remember and understand as much as you can from step one

so step two we can consider

that watering the seed you're putting water on it to help

it grow all right now after you've done step two you can wait a few more days again

and now let's go to step three.

So in step three you watch the video again and you test yourself to see how much you remember.

So now you're watching the video not looking at the subtitles

but when there's something you don't understand and you can't remember it and you really try but you can't,

then you can look at the subtitles and say,

ah, okay, that's what that word means.

And then move on.

Keep going.

100

So what you are doing here is you are testing yourself to see how much you remember.

101

And you're, again, challenging your brain to try to remember and make those connections.

102

And if you just cannot remember a word or a grammar structure,

103

the meaning of it, that's OK.

104

Just look at it again.

105

Oh, yeah, that means that and then move on.

106

So now that you've done the three steps,

107

step one, two and three,

108

what you can do is go back

109

and forth between step two of watching the video with no subtitles

110

and trying your best to remember and then step three watching it again

111

and testing to see how much you remember and checking the words when you tried but you really cannot do it.

112

So with this method, every time you do that,

113

you're going to remember more and more.

114

And every time you remember a word or a grammar structure,

115

that connection becomes stronger in your brain.

116

So when you hear it again in another video,

117

you'll know what it means.

118

And what happens is that Then for a new video,

119

for example, when you go to step one,

120

step one will be easier.

121

You will understand a lot more.

122

There will be fewer words that you don't understand or fewer things that you don't understand.

123

And then, so you repeat this process of watching the video with the subtitles,

124

understanding it, re-watching it without it to challenge yourself to understand.

125

And then step three of testing yourself.

126

When you repeat this process again and again,

127

your listening will improve so much.

128

But of course, you have to stay consistent.

129

And this method is not something I invented.

130

This is a very well-known method that people use to learn new things.

131

For example, doctors, when they're in medical school and they have to learn a thousand things about the body,

132

they use flashcards and active recall,

133

which just means trying to remember yourself,

134

to build their long-term memory.

135

So the idea is that you learn something,

136

you plant that seed, and then you challenge your brain to pull that meaning,

137

to remember that meaning.

138

And every time you do that, that memory becomes stronger.

139

Okay, so now let's say you've been watching this podcast for a while and the podcast is pretty easy for you.

140

You watch it and you understand maybe 90,

141

95 percent, maybe even 100 percent of the podcast.

142

Now for you guys, you could increase the speed of the podcast to 1.25

143

or 1.5 and also I would recommend that you also start watching other podcasts

144

or other videos by native English speakers

145

so those videos for sure are going to feel a lot more difficult than my videos maybe they

146

speak really fast and don't speak as clearly but that's okay

147

because when it's challenging for you then that means you are learning

148

that doesn't mean you have to stop watching my videos right

149

because if you watch my video and you understand all of it then that's just helping to reinforce your knowledge

150

you're understanding it and you're just making those connections a little bit stronger.

151

So your listening skills just become more automatic.

152

Now to go back to watching new content and challenging yourself,

153

the reason why that is so important is because you can think of it like exercising.

154

For example, if you go to the gym and you bench press 20 kilos,

155

right, in the beginning, and then after two weeks,

156

20 kilos becomes too easy,

157

then what are you going to do?

158

You're probably going to add more weight to the bar, right?

159

So then the 20 kilos becomes too easy,

160

so you increase it to 25 kilos.

161

So now this is a bit harder.

162

And then maybe before with 20 kilos you were able to do 10 reps.

163

But now with 25 kilos it's harder so you can only do maybe 5 reps.

164

Think of learning English in the same way.

165

So maybe for my videos you could watch a whole video and understand it.

166

That's the 10 reps.

167

but then

168

when you increase the weight to a more difficult video then

169

maybe after just a few minutes your brain gets tired

170

and you get bored and you want to stop watching

171

because it's too difficult that is totally okay that's like doing you know three reps

172

or four reps instead of 10 but then the more you do those harder reps,

173

slowly you will be able to do more and more and it will become easier.

174

So it's always important to continue challenging yourself in order to improve.

175

Now, another thing that you guys can do if you are advanced enough is you can practice shadowing along to my video.

176

And this is where the PDF can become useful is you can download that PDF and shadow along to the transcript.

177

You could also do the subtitles at the bottom,

178

but some people have said that they want to see the whole sentence in order to shadow.

179

So if you need that,

180

then just download the PDF and you can shadow with that.

181

All right, guys.

182

So to recap everything, the whole method,

183

step one, watch the video for the first time.

184

It can be the whole video or it can just be a few minutes of the video.

185

You can look at the subtitles and try to understand as much as you can.

186

Step two, a few days later,

187

watch that same video again,

188

but this time don't look at the subtitles and challenge yourself to understand as much as you can.

189

Remember this challenge, the work that your brain has to do will build the stronger connections and help you get better.

190

And then step three, watch it one more time.

191

But this time you can look at the words that you don't understand and you can test yourself.

192

And, you know, if there are many words you still don't understand, don't get frustrated.

193

It's okay.

194

Just stay consistent with it and it will come.

195

There are some words you can learn 20 times and you still forget the meaning.

196

So it happens to me.

197

It happens to everybody.

198

It's totally normal.

199

And so if the podcast is getting too easy,

200

then again, you can increase the speed,

201

practice shadowing along and start watching other native English speaking podcasts.

202

all right guys

203

so uh that's what i got for you today i hope

204

it was super useful i'm going to be doing more vlogs

205

and podcasts and just kind of mixing it up um

206

but yeah it's been a while

207

so i hope you enjoyed the video i hope it was useful

208

if you have any questions leave a comment below

209

and yeah i'll see you in the next video by the way if you want to practice your pronunciation and IPA,

210

just check out this video right here.

211

So yeah, thanks for watching,

212

and I will see you in the next video.

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.
