Hello, everyone.
2
Welcome back to the English Learning Podcast.
3
I'm Jason, and I'm so happy you're here today.
4
Welcome to Day 4 of our 30-Day English Shadowing Challenge.
5
Whether you've been practicing with us every day or you're joining us for the first time, we're so excited to have you here.
6
Every day you practice English, you're becoming more confident, more fluent, and one step closer to reaching your goals.
7
Ha ha!
8
Hello, amazing English learners.
9
I'm Julia, and I can't believe we've already reached day four.
10
Wow!
11
If you've completed the first three days, give yourself a big smile and a big round of applause.
12
You're building a fantastic learning habit, and that's something worth celebrating.
13
Absolutely!
14
Remember, learning English isn't about being perfect.
15
It's about practicing consistently.
16
Every conversation you listen to, every sentence you repeat, and every new word you learn is helping you become a better English speaker.
17
So, are you ready for another fun, real-life English conversation?
18
Today's lesson is practical, easy to follow, and full of useful expressions you can use in everyday life.
19
Put on your headphones, speak out loud with us, and let's make Day 4 another great step on your English journey.
20
Let's get started!
21
All right, everyone.
22
Welcome to Day 4 of our 30-Day English Shadowing Challenge.
23
You're doing an amazing job, and today we're going to practice another real-life conversation that you'll find useful almost anywhere in the world.
24
Today's topic is Shopping for Clothes in English.
25
Whether you're traveling, studying abroad, or simply visiting a clothing store, these simple English expressions will help you shop with confidence.
26
That's right!
27
Hmm.
28
Have you ever walked into a clothing store, found something you liked, but didn't know how to ask for a different size or the price in English?
29
Don't worry.
30
Many English learners experience the same thing.
31
The good news is that you only need a few simple and polite sentences to communicate successfully.
32
Exactly.
33
Today, you'll listen to a natural conversation between Julia and me inside a clothing store.
34
You'll hear us ask about sizes, colors, prices, and fitting rooms.
35
Your job is simple.
36
Listen carefully, repeat every sentence, and try to copy our pronunciation, rhythm, and expressions.
37
That's how shadowing helps you sound more natural.
38
And remember, it's completely okay to pause the video and repeat a sentence several times.
39
That's not slowing down your progress.
40
It's building it.
41
Every repetition makes your pronunciation clearer and your confidence stronger.
42
By the end of today's lesson, you'll know how to ask for a different size, talk about colors, ask the price, and buy clothes politely in English.
43
So, are you ready to go shopping with us?
44
Wonderful!
45
Let's imagine a real-life situation and begin today's shadowing adventure together.
46
Before we begin today's shadowing practice, let's imagine a real-life situation together.
47
Picture this.
48
You're visiting a new city, and you decide to go shopping.
49
As you walk through a busy shopping mall, you notice a beautiful clothing store with colorful jackets,
50
stylish t-shirts, comfortable shoes, and friendly staff.
51
You smile and decide to go inside.
52
Wow, everything looks so nice.
53
You start looking around, and then you find a jacket that you really like.
54
But there's one small problem.
55
Hmm.
56
You're not sure if it's your size, and you don't know how to ask the shop assistant in English.
57
Don't worry.
58
That's exactly why we're practicing today.
59
You don't need long or difficult sentences.
60
Simple, polite English is more than enough.
61
You can ask, Do you have this in a larger size?
62
How much is this?
63
Or, can I try it on?
64
These are common expressions that people use every day.
65
Exactly!
66
And here's a little secret.
67
Shop assistants are usually happy to help.
68
You don't have to speak perfect English.
69
If you smile, speak slowly, and use simple words, most people will understand you very well.
70
In today's conversation, Julia and I will visit a clothing store together.
71
We'll ask about different sizes, compare colors, check the price, use the fitting room, and decide what to buy.
72
Your job is to listen carefully, repeat every sentence after us, and copy our pronunciation and rhythm.
73
Ready?
74
Fantastic!
75
Imagine you're shopping with us today.
76
Pick your favorite outfit, smile with confidence, and let's begin today's real-life English conversation.
77
Happy shadowing, everyone!
78
Alright, everyone.
79
Welcome to today's main conversation practice.
80
This is your shadowing time.
81
First, listen carefully to our conversation.
82
Then, play it again and repeat every sentence after us.
83
Try to copy our pronunciation, rhythm, and emotions.
84
Don't worry about making mistakes.
85
Just keep speaking.
86
Ready?
87
Let's go shopping together.
88
I love shopping, especially when I don't spend too much money.
89
Wow, this clothing store looks beautiful.
90
It really does.
91
There are so many nice clothes here.
92
I need a new jacket.
93
Mine is getting old.
94
Then today is the perfect day to buy one.
95
You're right.
96
Oh, look at that blue jacket.
97
It looks really nice.
98
Wow, I like it too.
99
Why don't you try it on?
100
Excuse me?
101
Hello.
102
Welcome to our store.
103
How can I help you today?
104
Hi.
105
I'd like to try on this blue jacket, please. Of course.
106
What size do you usually wear?
107
I usually wear a medium.
108
Let me see.
109
Hmm.
110
We have a medium, but we also have a large if you'd like to compare.
111
Great.
112
Could I try both sizes, please?
113
Certainly.
114
The fitting room is right over there.
115
Thank you very much.
116
A few moments later.
117
The medium fits well, but it feels a little tight around the shoulder.
118
Then let's see how the large size feels.
119
Oh, this one feels much more comfortable.
120
I agree.
121
The large size looks great on you.
122
Really?
123
I think I look much better now.
124
Definitely.
125
You look ready for a fashion magazine.
126
Thank you.
127
That's very kind.
128
Would you like to see it in another color?
129
Yes, please.
130
Do you have it in black?
131
Yes, we do.
132
Here's the black one.
133
Hmm.
134
I like the black jacket, but I think the blue one looks brighter.
135
I agree.
136
The blue color suits you very well.
137
By the way, how much is this jacket?
138
It's $50, and today it's 20% off.
139
Wow, that's a really good discount.
140
Yes, it's one of today's special offers.
141
Perfect.
142
I'll take the blue jacket, please.
143
Wonderful choice.
144
Would you like a shopping bag.
145
Yes, please.
146
Thank you.
147
They walk to the cashier.
148
Your total is $40 after the discount.
149
Great.
150
Here's my card.
151
Thank you.
152
Here's your receipt.
153
Thank you very much.
154
Have a wonderful day.
155
You too.
156
We hope to see you again soon.
157
That was a great shopping experience.
158
And to everyone listening, don't forget to repeat every sentence after us.
159
The more you shadow real conversations like this, the more confident you'll become in everyday English.
160
Let's repeat a few useful shopping expressions together.
161
I'd like to try this on, please.
162
Do you have this in a different size?
163
How much is this?
164
I'll take it, please.
165
Thank you very much.
166
Fantastic!
167
If you repeated those sentences, you've completed another excellent shadowing practice.
168
Every conversation you practice helps you speak English more naturally in real-life situations.
169
Amazing work, everyone.
170
You're improving every single day.
171
Now let's continue with today's vocabulary explanation and learn some useful shopping words together.
172
Excellent work, everyone.
173
You did a fantastic job following today's shopping conversation.
174
Now it's time to learn some useful vocabulary that you can use whenever you go shopping for clothes.
175
These are common words you'll hear in clothing stores all over the world.
176
That's right!
177
Hmm.
178
Don't try to memorize every word at once.
179
Listen carefully, repeat each word aloud, and try to use it in your own English sentences.
180
That's the best way to remember new vocabulary.
181
Ready?
182
Let's get started.
183
Word number one.
184
Size.
185
Size tells you whether clothes are small, medium, large, or extra large.
186
Example.
187
I usually wear a medium size.
188
Great.
189
If something is too small or too big, you can ask for another size, politely.
190
Word number two, fitting room.
191
A fitting room is the place where you try on clothes before you buy them.
192
Example, where is the fitting room, please?
193
Sometimes I spend more time in the fitting room than shopping.
194
Word number three, price.
195
The price is how much something costs.
196
Example, what's the price of this jacket?
197
Or how much is this jacket?
198
Excellent!
199
That's one of the most useful questions you can ask while shopping.
200
Word number four.
201
Discount.
202
A discount means the price has been reduced, so you pay less money.
203
Example.
204
This shirt has a 20% discount.
205
Wow!
206
Everyone loves a good discount.
207
It helps you save money while buying something you like.
208
Word number five.
209
Receipt.
210
A receipt is the paper you receive after paying for something.
211
Example, please keep your receipt It's always a good idea to keep your receipt in case you need to return
212
or exchange an item later Word number six, cashier A cashier is the person who takes your payment at the store Example,
213
the cashier was very friendly and helpful Fantastic!
214
Now you know six useful shopping words that you'll hear again and again in everyday English
215
Try using them today in your own sentences.
216
Even one sentence is excellent practice.
217
Amazing job, everyone!
218
Your vocabulary is growing with every lesson, and that's something to celebrate.
219
Now, let's use these new words in a fun mini-role play and practice them in a real shopping conversation.
220
All right, everyone, it's time for our mini-role play.
221
Now you can practice today's shopping English in another real-life situation.
222
Imagine you're in a clothing store looking for a new t-shirt.
223
Listen carefully first, then repeat each sentence after us.
224
Ready?
225
Let's begin.
226
Hello.
227
Welcome to Fashion World.
228
How can I help you today?
229
Hi.
230
Thank you.
231
I'm looking for a comfortable t-shirt. Of course.
232
What color are you looking for?
233
Hmm, I really like blue, but I'd also like to see the black one.
234
Great choice!
235
We have both colors.
236
What size do you usually wear?
237
I usually wear a medium.
238
Do you have this t-shirt in a large size, too?
239
Yes, we do.
240
Here you are.
241
Would you like to try it on?
242
Yes, please.
243
Where's the fitting room?
244
It's right over there, next to the mirrors.
245
A few moments later.
246
I tried it on, and it fits perfectly.
247
I really like it.
248
I'm glad to hear that.
249
The blue color looks great on you.
250
Thank you.
251
How much is it?
252
It's $25, and today it's 10% off.
253
Wow, that's a good price.
254
I'll take it, please.
255
Wonderful.
256
Please come with me to the cashier.
257
Thank you for your help.
258
You're very welcome.
259
Have a wonderful day, and enjoy your new T-shirt.
260
Thank you.
261
I definitely will.
262
Excellent work, everyone.
263
Now, replay this roleplay one more time and shadow every sentence.
264
The more you repeat real shopping conversations, the more natural and confident your English will become.
265
Fantastic job!
266
You're making great progress every day.
267
Now, let's move on to today's quick speaking challenge and practice these useful shopping expressions one last time.
268
Amazing work, everyone.
269
You've done a fantastic job with today's shopping conversation.
270
Now it's time for our quick speaking challenge.
271
This is your chance to speak English out loud with confidence.
272
I'll say a sentence, then we'll pause for a moment so you can repeat it.
273
Ready?
274
Let's go.
275
That's right.
276
Hmm.
277
Imagine you're standing in a clothing store and a friendly shop assistant is ready to help you.
278
Take a deep breath, smile, and repeat after us.
279
Excuse me.
280
I'm looking for a jacket.
281
Excellent.
282
Say it one more time with confidence.
283
Wonderful.
284
You're doing an amazing job.
285
Do you have this in a larger size?
286
Perfect!
287
This is one of the most useful shopping questions.
288
Awesome!
289
Let's try another one.
290
Can I try it on, please?
291
Great pronunciation.
292
Keep speaking clearly.
293
Fantastic!
294
Here's another sentence.
295
How much is this?
296
Very nice.
297
You'll use this question almost every time you go shopping.
298
Unless everything in the store is free.
299
But that almost never happens.
300
I wish it did.
301
All right.
302
Here's our final sentence for today.
303
I'll take it, please.
304
Thank you.
305
Repeat it one more time with a friendly smile.
306
Excellent!
307
You're sounding more natural already.
308
Wow!
309
Outstanding work!
310
If you repeated every sentence, you've completed today's speaking challenge.
311
Keep using these expressions whenever you practice English, and they'll soon become natural for you.
312
You're making wonderful progress, and we couldn't be happier.
313
Now, let's finish today's lesson with a fun ending.
314
Wow!
315
Congratulations!
316
You just completed day four of our 30-day English shadowing challenge.
317
Today, you practiced shopping for clothes in English, learned useful vocabulary, and spoke with more confidence.
318
That's another fantastic step toward becoming a fluent English speaker.
319
And now, the next time you go shopping, don't just look at the clothes.
320
Use your English, too.
321
You can confidently say, Can I try this on?
322
Or, do you have this in a different size?
323
See?
324
Shopping and learning English at the same time, that's a win-win.
325
Ha ha!
326
That's true!
327
And remember, if the jacket doesn't fit, don't worry.
328
Just ask for another size.
329
But if your English doesn't feel perfect yet, don't worry about that either.
330
Keep practicing, keep speaking, and you'll improve little by little every day.
331
Exactly.
332
Think about how far you've come already.
333
Four days ago you started this challenge, and today you've completed another real-life English conversation.

Contesto e sfondo
Il video fa parte di una sfida di 30 giorni per migliorare la fluidità in inglese, concentrandosi sul "shadow speak" – una tecnica dove si ripete a voce alta il dialogo ascoltato, imitando pronuncia, ritmo e intonazione. Oggi, al giorno 4, la lezione si basa su una conversazione reale: fare shopping per i vestiti. Un contesto pratico, utile per chi viaggia, studia all'estero o vuole comunicare con sicurezza in un negozio. I presentatori, Jason e Julia, sottolineano che l'importante non è la perfezione, ma la consistenza: ogni ripetizione rafforza l'abitudine e la fiducia.
Top 5 frasi per la comunicazione quotidiana
- "Can I get a different size?" – Per chiedere una taglia diversa.
- "What's the price of this?" – Per chiedere il prezzo di un articolo.
- "Do you have this in another color?" – Per richiedere una diversa tonalità.
- "Where are the fitting rooms?" – Per trovare i camerini.
- "I'll take this, please." – Per confermare l'acquisto in modo educato.
Guida passo passo al shadowing
Per sfruttare al massimo il video e migliorare la pronuncia inglese, segui questi passaggi: 1) Ascolta attentamente il dialogo una volta per capire il contesto. 2) Ripeti ogni frase immediatamente dopo, cercando di imitare la velocità e l'intonazione. 3) Se una frase è difficile, metti in pausa e ripetila più volte: non è un ritardo, ma una costruzione solida. 4) Focus sugli espressioni coloquiali, come "give yourself a big smile", per suonare più naturale. 5) Pratica quotidianamente: il "shadowspeak" funziona con la costanza. Con questo metodo, imparare l'inglese con i video diventa divertente e efficace, e la pratica di conversazione in inglese diventa meno intimidatoria.
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.
