Are you ready to speak real English that real English speakers use in real life?

Well, good news, you're in the right place.

Today, I'm going to do something that I never thought I would do.

You are going to get ready with me this morning and you are going to see how I get myself ready, do my hair, do my makeup.

You will see my face with no makeup, the raw morning Vanessa.

And this is going to help you immerse yourself in English because we all get ready in the morning and I want you to have the vocabulary that you can use to talk about your morning routine.

If you're new here, hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

And for over the past 10 years, I have been teaching real life English here on my YouTube channel.

And now there are more than 7 million of you learning English with me.

I can't believe it.

I want to let you know that every single YouTube video that I make includes a free PDF worksheet.

In this worksheet, you will see all of the key vocabulary that you're about to learn today in my real life conversation, all of the definitions, extra sample sentences.

And in this worksheet, you'll be able to download the audio version of today's lesson.

This is like a mini podcast episode.

You can download it and listen to it wherever you are.

Maybe while you're getting ready in the morning.

Inception, how cool.

You just sign up once and I will continue to send them to you every single Friday.

This is my gift to you.

So click on the link in the description and get the worksheet right now.

All right.

Are you ready to get ready with me?

We're going to go over to my bathroom sink, rewind a few hours to the morning, and I'm going to get ready after waking up in the morning.

Let's go.

Oh hello and good morning.

I never thought I would be on the internet like this.

This is my hair that I woke up with.

This is my face.

No makeup.

And I'm going to tell you about what I do to get ready.

We're going to film this in the mirror so I hope that it works.

Hi.

And I'm going to get started with putting in my contacts.

So I wear glasses usually, but lately I've been wearing contacts more and that's just how it goes.

So I have this little contact case and inside are my contacts.

Now there's two different types of contacts.

There are monthly contacts and daily contacts.

I'm going to rinse my hands.

I wear monthly contacts because I wear them pretty frequently.

And Dan, my husband, wears daily contacts because he only wears them once a month, maybe.

They kind of irritate his eyes.

So I have the contact here on my finger and I just put it in my eye.

Now, when I first started wearing contacts, I think I was in eighth grade.

It was not as smooth as that.

I remember trying again and again and again to get the contacts in my eye.

And there's something very weird about putting something in your eye and not blinking.

Like your instant reaction, your instinct is to blink, but you have to keep your eye open, put it in, ah, smooth.

So sometimes some of the contact solution drips down my face and I want to just dry it off a little bit because I'm going to put some makeup on.

I don't wear much makeup.

I'm not very makeup savvy, but we're going to do it together anyway.

And I hope that you'll learn some important daily life vocabulary.

So this is like my little makeup bag.

I have a couple things in here that you're about to see.

The first thing that I do is this is, I don't know, a BB cream.

It's just like a very light concealer.

And I only wear that under my eyes, partially because I am perpetually tired.

And it's also genetic to have darker skin or thinner skin, we could say thinner skin under here, which makes it look darker.

So I like to wear just a little bit of this under my eyes.

And I don't know if it really makes an awful lot of a difference, but I do it for me.

I know if you are somebody who wears a little bit of makeup, you probably have noticed on days when you don't wear makeup, people say, oh, you look so tired.

Are you okay?

And then you think, oh, it's just my face.

It's not because I'm actually more tired than usual.

You're just not covering up, you're tired in the same way, which is how I feel.

So I put this under my eyes, kind of under on my nose a bit, and on my eyelids.

This is like a little sponge.

I like using it.

I think it's pretty common to use something like this, and And it just makes that thin skin a little bit more bright.

Okay.

Next thing is I have another sponge and this is like a little powder.

It's supposed to be like a clear, how can I say it?

A clear powder.

And it just makes it so that the cream doesn't wash off basically.

so it's white and it's pure white but it's not going to look white if you have darker skin something

like that probably will not look as good and you might want a

tinted powder but I think it's called setting powder because it sets the cream and I put a little bit here too boop boop boop.

Nothing too much.

Well, maybe you think it's a lot, but I don't know if you ever watch makeup videos, people wear so some people wear so much makeup.

I generally do not.

And this takes just a few minutes.

Sometimes in daily life, I might put a little bit of powder on my cheeks too.

You can't see it, but it just kind of blends a little bit.

I have no idea if it actually works, but you can't see it.

But especially if I'm filming a video, I don't want a certain part of my skin to be like shiny and some to be not shiny.

Okay, so that's that.

The next step is very fun.

Do you know what this is?

It looks like a torture device.

This is an eyelash curler and this is something I personally really enjoy.

Now, I don't know if this works.

I don't know if this is just in my head, but usually I try to heat it up a little bit before I put it on my eyelashes.

And I think it helps more than when I don't do this.

So I just go like this and it kind of heats it up.

And then I put it on my eyelashes and it curls them up a bit so that all of this is just a ploy to look more awake than I really am.

I did do this when I was younger, like in my early 20s, and I was not tired, but nowadays I am often tired, and just as you get older, you know, you want to look more awake.

100

I think doing something with your eyes can make a difference.

101

So you see my eyelashes?

102

I don't know if you can tell, are slightly more curled up.

103

Next is one of the final steps.

104

This is a very long process, as you can tell.

105

I'm being sarcastic.

106

Next, I'm going to put some mascara on.

107

This is like extremely cheap mascara.

108

I don't know.

109

I've tried other kinds that are fancier, and for some reason, this is what I always go back to.

110

Maybe it's because I'm not picky.

111

So this is called the wand, the mascara wand.

112

And inside there is mascara.

113

And I'm going to just go like this and I blink, blink, blink, blink.

114

And I find when I do that, it kind of more evenly goes on my eyelashes.

115

Instead of being clumpy, that's not what you want.

116

and because I already curled my eyelashes a bit it goes on very smoothly.

117

All right this side.

118

Boop, boop, boop, boop.

119

Very simple.

120

I have gotten this in my eye a few times and that is no fun.

121

A couple days ago, my two-year-old daughter was in the other room.

122

I was in the kitchen and I thought, oh, she's just petting the cat or reading a book.

123

And I came in the room.

124

Do you know what I saw?

125

She had this all over her face.

126

So I put a baby lock on the drawer where I keep my makeup bag.

127

Okay, so on a normal day, that's all I would do, but sometimes when I'm filming a video, like today, I will put a little bit of eyeliner on.

128

This is like a liquid eyeliner.

129

No idea if it's the best or great or whatever, but it works for me, and I'll put that like this.

130

a very thin line.

131

Basically the point is that it's almost imperceptible.

132

Imperceptible?

133

Imperceivable?

134

You basically can't tell that it's there and it looks somewhat natural.

135

That's the goal.

136

okay just a bit and the final step well the final step for my face when I'm

137

recording a video I often will wear some type of lipstick but in normal daily life I do not wear lipstick but today I'm filming a video so I'll put this lipstick on

138

It's just like a tinted, tinted crayon type thing.

139

And most importantly, sometimes I go like this to make sure it doesn't get on my teeth because I have recorded videos.

140

Maybe you have seen this recorded lessons where there's some lipstick on my teeth.

141

I have to re-record the video and sometimes I just leave it because that's the way it is.

142

Okay, so my face is ready.

143

Occasionally, I want to show you, occasionally I will, especially in the summer, put like sunscreen on my face before I put makeup on and that's just to protect my face throughout the day.

144

I also have this deodorant that I wear on my armpits and I already put that on.

145

And now it's time for my hair.

146

Now I have my hair right now.

147

You can see in two braids.

148

These are called French braids.

149

I don't know if they're actually French, but these are French braids.

150

I wear this all the time.

151

This is the second day.

152

So I had these in my hair yesterday and they were less scraggly.

153

This is called maybe scraggly.

154

Usually all these little, these are called flyaways, little hairs are coming out.

155

It's not the most clean look.

156

Usually in my daily life, I don't really care.

157

But when I record a video, this is the perfect way to do my hair, I think.

158

Very easy.

159

So I take these out.

160

These are called hair ties.

161

Some people call these hair elastics.

162

I use gigantic ones.

163

My hair is very thick and these are one solid circle.

164

so they don't have a seam which can break.

165

It's just one piece.

166

And watch this.

167

I just take the braids out and within minutes, maybe within moments, my hair is finished.

168

So this will leave my hair wavy.

169

My hair is not naturally curly.

170

It's not naturally stick straight.

171

That's what we say if your hair is very straight.

172

My hair is naturally wavy, but when I put it in braids like this, it brings out the waves in my hair.

173

hair.

174

And it's the way I enjoy wearing my hair.

175

So I will use my comb.

176

I do not usually use a brush.

177

This is a brush.

178

Usually I don't use a brush.

179

I just use this comb.

180

Do you want to know something about this comb?

181

I got this comb from a dollar store in South Korea 13 years ago and I still use it.

182

So when people say you need to buy some fancy comb for your hair, maybe if you want your hair to look better than this, you should, but this is what I use.

183

Usually when I take my hair out of the braids, I might leave it like this, or I might gently do a little bit of combing to make it a little more smooth, possibly.

184

So I'll do that a little bit here underneath as well.

185

And usually I toss my head upside down like this, shake it out a little bit and voila, I am ready to record a video.

186

Oh, wait, one more thing.

187

I'm going to put in my earrings.

188

I wear earrings every day.

189

I don't know why it just feels like I'm doing something special.

190

Even if I just wear my normal shirts, normal pants, nothing fancy, at least I have earrings.

191

So I'm going to put in my earrings.

192

I have two earring holes, but I never use the second one.

193

It might even be closed at this point.

194

I don't know.

195

I got that when I was a lot younger, but these are dangly earrings.

196

I usually wear dangly earrings.

197

I have a couple stud earrings.

198

That means they're just right here on your ear.

199

Maybe it's a little stone or something right here, but usually I have dangly earrings because I like it.

200

and that's about it.

201

After this, I will go make some tea, eat some breakfast, or make a lesson for you, and in my daily life, I would wear a shirt like this, just normal, not very exciting shirt.

202

This is a cozy shirt that I like to wear in the winter, but if I'm recording a lesson for you, I would probably change my shirt and wear something a little more professional, and that's I'm going to do.

203

I'm going to change my shirt and I'll meet you back in the studio room for our final part of today's lesson.

204

Well, thank you for getting ready with me this morning.

205

Now you see how this magic happens.

206

It's not very magical.

207

It's just something that a lot of people do every single day in the morning.

208

We all get ready to some extent.

209

Now, if I were to show you my husband Dan's morning routine, it would be walk into the bathroom, look in the mirror, go like this with his hair, and then walk out.

210

I always laugh because it's so simple and so stereotypical, right?

211

But I want to know for you, let me know in the comments, what's something that you do to get ready in the morning.

212

And don't forget to download today's free PDF worksheet that includes the bonus audio version of today's lesson.

213

You can download that audio and listen to it wherever you are, maybe while you're getting ready in the morning.

214

So just click the link in the description, enter your name and email address, and voila, just like that, the PDF worksheet will land in your email inbox.

215

This is my gift to you.

216

Well, thank you so much for learning English with me, and I'll see you again next Friday for a new lesson here on my YouTube channel.

217

Bye.

218

But wait, do you want more?

219

I recommend watching this video next, where you will go into my bedroom and see how I make the bed and change the sheets.

220

This is another thing that everyone does around the world as long as you sleep in a bed.

221

And I want you to have the vocabulary you need to talk about this daily life task.

222

I'll see you there.

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.
