If you want to improve your English and travel all around the world, just like this guy said from his bedroom,
2
I'm inviting you to join me for a short walk through Sofia, Bulgaria, and to have a conversation with a model,
3
an actor, and the prince of Bulgaria himself.
4
Now, hit the like button below and let's get started.
5
Yo, yo, yo!
6
That's the guy, Bulgarian Prince himself.
7
You're a dude, dude, you're a big boy.
8
Nice to see you, bro.
9
Likewise.
10
It's a pleasure.
11
Likewise.
12
You're Bulgarian born, Spanish, Spain -shaped, heartbreaker, if I got it right.
13
Heartbreaker, honestly, I try not to.
14
I do my best.
15
I do my best not to do it, but...
16
Yeah, but it just happens, naturally.
17
It.. it...
18
Happy Valentine's Day to my heavyweight heartbreaker.
19
I've been living in Spain for 10 years.
20
Nice.
21
Then I decided to try moving to Bulgaria when I was 20, 21, something like this.
22
I had an opportunity to compete for the national team of athletics, like the running.
23
Oh, wow.
24
Running.
25
Running national team.
26
Then I moved here and I stopped running then.
27
Decided to stay here.
28
Why not?
29
I mean, it's a beautiful place.
30
Bulgaria is really nice.
31
Oh, yeah.
32
People don't know it.
33
People used to talk not really good stuff about their own country because they never been,
34
most of them, outside and they don't know what do they have.
35
I agree.
36
I agree.
37
Especially when I came here, started recording videos about Sofia.
38
I'm like, it's so f*ing beautiful.
39
People were like, what the f* is not?
40
You just go to a different place, you'll see how ugly it is.
41
I'm like, yo, dude, look f*ing right there.
42
Yeah.
43
Look at these beautiful people right here.
44
It's pretty.
45
I mean, ugly naked guys decorating his tree.
46
Oh my God, you should see the size of his Christmas balls.
47
People are beautiful.
48
The nature is amazing.
49
Streets are clean.
50
Some of them are dirty somewhere else, but every single city in the world where you would travel to,
51
you would find dirty side of this city and you would find an amazing side of the city.
52
That's right.
53
Can you take your glasses off?
54
I want to ask you a question.
55
You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?
56
You hit a guy with glasses.
57
That's well played.
58
Has anyone ever told you that you look like a Colombian drug dealer? Because of the mustache?
59
Actually, they tell me that I look like Jacob Eurdy.
60
I don't know.
61
Who was the actor who played the Colombian drug dealer, the main one?
62
Like Pablo Escobar?
63
I don't know his name.
64
You look like that actor for sure, man.
65
Share your story.
66
How did you become an actor and a model?
67
What does it actually take?
68
That's a really interesting story.
69
First of all, I became a model.
70
That was my first step.
71
It was always a hobby for me.
72
I did it with my own camera, with my friends.
73
We were shooting for years, like for 10 years maybe.
74
But never professional.
75
I never used to get money with that.
76
And then one day I was in the middle of shooting a movie in Boston and I got this email.
77
I had a girlfriend who was a really good model.
78
You know, I'm very competitive.
79
Competitive?
80
Yes.
81
At that moment I said, okay, if she can do it, I can also try.
82
Exactly.
83
I was kind of competing, joyously, in some way.
84
I don't give a f*.
85
At least competitive person on the planet.
86
Then I took the course and I started shooting.
87
And two years later, I also started acting.
88
because I really love to be around the camera, mostly behind the camera.
89
But my biggest goal in the long term is to be a director.
90
So that's why I'm starting from modeling, then acting, then maybe I will script something.
91
And my biggest goal is to direct movies.
92
But I didn't set my mind to learning how to direct, even though I wanted to be a movie director.
93
And while you're enjoying this video, I think you forgot to hit that big fat thumb up button below and to subscribe to your channel.
94
It takes only two seconds for you, but it's very important for this guy right here.
95
All right, let's continue.
96
And you said you're competitive and you used the word jealousy, which is actually cool.
97
Honestly speaking, people think about it in a bad way.
98
But the thing is, if you would not have the jealousy in your life, you would not become who you became
99
if i would not be competitive in my life you guys would not be watching sergi speaks
100
and people from more than 130 countries around the world would not watch it
101
so i think it's a good quality to have
102
because you would not be a winner
103
if you would not have it basically means that she likes to do nice things for other people,
104
which is a good quality to have if you're a nurse.
105
The biggest thing I learned from the running is that I learned to compete with myself.
106
You can see eight or nine guys in the track running, but they're actually not running against each other.
107
They're just running against themselves.
108
That's what my coach told me.
109
If you watch the other people, you will get distracted and you will not do your best.
110
So you should compete with yourself always.
111
So true, I love it. But he's easily...
112
distracted.
113
And honestly speaking, guys, this reminds me of the platform that I created for people from our YouTube channel, where they can practice English speaking.
114
And after every single one -on -one call with a random person from around the world...
115
Hey, wanna play one -on -one?
116
Sure.
117
Take it out.
118
you get transcription
119
and you get the level of mistakes how many mistakes did you make per 100 words
120
and that's a metric that you can compete with yourself to improve your english every single time
121
so if you guys want to improve your english you can join our completely free fox eu platform
122
that i've created specifically for you you can see it right here
123
or you can follow link right below this video i'm interested oh nice i am
124
if i want to act in america
125
or let's say english speaking country I would need to improve my English as good as I can.
126
Let me ask you a very provocative question.
127
Barcelona or Real Madrid?
128
Man, it's obvious Barcelona.
129
Me and Matthew, well come on, there's obvious chemistry.
130
Ah, well.
131
So are you partially Spanish or are you mostly Bulgarian?
132
I'm Bulgarian 100%.
133
My citizenship is also Bulgarian.
134
I can feel like how Spanish, how Bulgarian because my life was like this.
135
But now I moved to Bali.
136
Bali!
137
I was living there since last year.
138
Yeah.
139
Basically, I came here for summer.
140
Yeah.
141
Maybe when it gets cold, because here in the winter it's really cold.
142
I don't like it that much.
143
Maybe I'm going back to Bali.
144
Are you following summer throughout your life?
145
Yes.
146
That's what it's like when you're following the summer around the world looking for places to surf.
147
Yes.
148
Welcome to your team.
149
You too.
150
I came, I was in Latin America.
151
I was in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and I came here because it got colder.
152
And I said, I followed the summer.
153
That's why I'm here.
154
Nice.
155
So since you spent half of your life in Bulgaria and half of your life in, I was going to say in Argentina,
156
but in Spain, what is the dating, how does the dating culture differ?
157
What's the difference between dating in Spain and in Bulgaria?
158
They want to see you like more traditional, more serious, more responsible.
159
You have already built your mind and you're already mature.
160
You're mature.
161
You're mature.
162
Yes.
163
I'm 31 now.
164
Mature enough to handle this complicated situation with ease.
165
If you want to record really dynamic situations here in Bulgaria now, you should go to maybe
166
Sunny Beach or Suzopol.
167
Sunny Beach?
168
Sunny Beach.
169
How far is it?
170
It's really far.
171
It's like four hours by car but it's like a massive GTA multiplayer server right now.
172
There is everything.
173
Sunny Beach, Bulgaria.
174
Let me take a look.
175
And when do I want to go there?
176
I probably want to go for the weekend.
177
So we're going to grab it.
178
Yeah.
179
I'll say next weekend, Friday.
180
Okay.
181
Until Monday.
182
Confirm.
183
By the way, that's an OMEA app.
184
I love it, guys.
185
This supports 32 languages.
186
Oh, wow.
187
And from Brazil and Japan where I'm planning to go to.
188
Oh, nice.
189
Only $97 to fly in 50 minutes.
190
I thought it was more expensive.
191
See if actually it's not, that's really cheap.
192
Thank you, but we're fine.
193
Besides, our whole family couldn't possibly fit in your bachelor pad.
194
Whoa.
195
Real estate must be pretty cheap around here.
196
So that's the one way, 97.
197
The second way is 111, total is $200.
198
By the way, I always use Omio for all of my trips.
199
I've been traveling all around the world
200
and I feel like this is the app that combines everything you can buy tickets for any kind of transportation.
201
Yay!
202
I just told you to check, you already have the tickets.
203
Why not?
204
I like it this way.
205
Life is short.
206
That's right.
207
Let's have a great time.
208
By the way guys, they have like a 12 % off for new customers with my promo code.
209
FYI, if you guys are interested in flying or traveling all around the world,
210
I'm going to leave a link for them right here and right below this video.
211
And you know what?
212
Let's do a challenge because in every video of I offer people to send them $100
213
if they will answer one question in comments below my video
214
and if we get 300 comments total I send $100 to a random person okay to pick from comments
215
grab a piece of paper but for a different purpose
216
because you might need to swipe your tears off
217
but those are going to be the tears of happiness
218
because we are going to finally find out who is
219
that person who left a comment right below this video
220
and is going to win 100
221
so what i'm going to do i'm going to randomly pick a person
222
so i'm going to grab a url from this video copy I'm going to navigate to commentshark .com, paste in link.
223
You guys are going to see all of this.
224
Now, I'm going to finally click pick a random YouTube comment and one of you guys is going to win $100.
225
Let's see who that lucky person is.
226
Three, two, one, and that is Julian DC from Colombia.
227
Dang, congratulations Julian.
228
You said I'm from Colombia and the three most beautiful things in my country are first lovely,
229
friendly and happy people who are going to get 100 bucks.
230
Number two, our biodiversity.
231
And number three, our delicious food.
232
I'm going to send you 100 bucks and I'm coming to Colombia soon.
233
You gotta send me an email right here to sergi .fxu .com.
234
Now, if you want to win 100 bucks just like Juliana did on that video right there, you have to do two simple things.
235
Number one, follow the link right below this video and download Omeo app to your smartphone.
236
Number two, you simply have to answer a question from this young gentleman right here, which he will ask you in a moment.
237
Alright, let's continue and good luck to you!
238
Since you are the guest, I'm going to let you choose the question,
239
what do you want to find out about people from more than in one in 30 countries around the world.
240
My question is, what is the best cuisine in the world?
241
What is the best, is the name cuisine in English?
242
Cuisine.
243
Yeah, cuisine.
244
So what's the best food?
245
What country has the best food in the world?
246
We only serve spicy cuisine here.
247
Which country has the best food in the world?
248
All right, guys, you leave a comment right below this video.
249
If we're getting 300 comments, I'm randomly picking a winner and I will send you $100, no matter where you are.
250
On the other hand, in Spain, the girls, for me, it was when I was 11, 11, sorry, 19, for example, dating when I was 19.
251
For me, it was more difficult because I had no experience that much.
252
So for me, Spain was more difficult.
253
I don't know how it would be now, but I was thinking that is more complicated.
254
Complicated?
255
I thought that.
256
The world is a complicated place, more complicated than you can begin to imagine.
257
The guys in Bulgaria are not that pushing in aspect of looking good because Bulgarian guys are not ugly.
258
Exactly.
259
But they're not taking that much care of themselves.
260
They're not making good dressing, good haircuts, good habits.
261
But I can say Bulgarians are more focused into working.
262
That's the culture.
263
But the next generation, which is coming now, like 18 years old guys.
264
Those guys right there on the bench.
265
Yeah, they're kind of different already.
266
The next generation is always more powerful, more evolved.
267
So I think Bulgaria has a good future because I'm seeing the next generation, they're really smart.
268
They know what they're doing.
269
I think they're going to change a lot.
270
Do you speak English?
271
Yes.
272
Usually whenever people yell something, I assume it's about Levski versus Cescar or whatever you guys have soccer games
273
but not in the case one question why do people smoke a lot in europe
274
because i'm coming from latin america
275
and from the u .s is it to be cool is it a part of the culture is it
276
or is it some uh pleasure that you get from it i think maybe we just grow like faster and
277
on smaller nature like this oh we try many substances
278
we yeah we tried a lot of things before
279
you think for becoming adult thank you guys all right have a good one cheers
280
how old are you how do i look like 29 yay first shot
281
you got it yeah how about you really yeah uh 27.
282
so yeah we're almost the same yeah so in that age i think you should focus more into into
283
building what you are doing.
284
Xavier focuses on psychological clues while Nate analyzes Frada's physical behaviors.
285
Maybe a bit after the 30s I think you can start more to build something serious.
286
But for now I think it's not a good idea because when I'm in a relationship I'm not that focused.
287
My energy is going to the girl because...
288
Let's say they want you to take care of them, which is, I accept it.
289
I agree with that, but I don't have that much time right now.
290
So that's why I'm not in a relationship right now.
291
As they say, if you did not get married by 30, you missed your first divorce.
292
Oh, that makes sense.
293
Actually, it does.
294
I need a divorce.
295
He was granted the divorce within three months because she never showed up to contest the divorce.
296
Did living in Spain make you more confident or more laid back?
297
Helping these laid back leaf eaters hide.
298
I felt lack.
299
Lack?
300
Yeah, lack of confidence.
301
Yes.
302
Trust me, lack of confidence is not a weakness of mine.
303
Maybe two years ago, my life in Spain was kind of different because at the beginning, I moved there, I was alone,
304
I was feeling like what I'm doing here.
305
But then when I started socializing more with the people there, I also started doing professionally athletics after that.
306
That made me feel confident because when you do something and you're doing it good, you build that confidence.
307
So I think the confidence comes from believing strong in idea or opinion.
308
If you have strong believing of something and you think I will
309
Fight for it for this in my life.
310
Yeah, you're building the confidence
311
because you know who already are I think the point is for you to know who you are
312
if I have to give an advice for the people is Nobody cares about you.
313
If you fell in the ground people will forget
314
you in three minutes I mean do whatever you love you will never regret you will regret of
315
that that you have not done
316
You might succeed you might fail
317
but you'll never regret it kitty cat next to us kitty cat there's many cats here since you're a model
318
and actor are you more likely to be drawn to someone's energy look
319
or a sense of humor can't resist a mystery can you always drawn to an enigma don't
320
i have to choose one of these three yeah what's usually drones you I could say energy energy energy yes
321
because this is like how is people attending to this life
322
I think this is the most important your energy is really important
323
you interact with people a lot for models actors who look
324
great who take care of themselves how really important is it
325
for a person to take care of itself versus the energy inside
326
they're all matching they're all connected I think there is something
327
that people don't maybe know I believe it really strong
328
when your energy is so positive you are so
329
so good person you start improving your also your look you like your energy is making you you more beautiful
330
so true so for me the most important is energy because energy can improve the other qualities.
331
Actually we are in front of my kingdom.
332
Kingdom?
333
Yes.
334
I mean what I wouldn't give to say you're wrong in front of the entire kingdom.
335
Because you're a prince.
336
I'm the prince.
337
The prince of Bulgaria.
338
It's beautiful.
339
What do you think?
340
I definitely agree with that.
341
It looks amazing.
342
And fun thing on today's one of our videos on TikTok
343
I said hey I'm going to record a video with the prince of Bulgaria.
344
Somebody was like what the hell do we have a prince in valgaria
345
and the next person answering didn't you know
346
that you should read the freaking books
347
and you will find out that's right they should read a little bit of history
348
because you didn't they don't know exactly here
349
he is i have to make some statues you know those things
350
we should definitely put your study right here right yeah right here right
351
i think like on the middle five meters that you me like i would agree but like modeling like this.
352
I love that.
353
To the spaceship.
354
There is no spaceship.
355
You had it dismantled to build that statue.
356
To the statue.
357
What is happening here?
358
I see people dancing.
359
We can see because there is a holiday and they always dance in front of the kingdom.
360
This is the Bulgarian traditional dance.
361
I will say hi to everyone.
362

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.
