Pratica di Shadowing: Practice your English pronunciation with me! (Comprehensible Input Vlog) - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Welcome back to a new video guys.

Today we are going to have another daily life comprehensible input vlog.

You'll be learning new vocabulary, you'll be also practicing your accent and pronunciation, and you'll be following me around in my daily life.

There will also be native English conversations between my brother right there and me.

So without further ado, you can come over here and see what I'm about to order.

So you can see my shopping cart here, kind of trying to hide my place where I am so I don't dox myself.

But yeah, I have a lot of a lot of items in my shopping cart.

So I'm going to show you all of these in person once I order them.

So I'm going to make sure my address is correct without exposing myself.

Then I'll show you guys once I go and get all the items

and bring it here and then fill up my pantry, freezer, and fridge.

So I'm going to place my order now and yeah, I'll see you guys once I get the food.

Actually, I'll show you guys around a little bit

and just show you what I do in a normal day

while I'm waiting for it to come because I think it will take a few hours.

Okay, start with the words that matter the most.

Get my 3,000 most common English words PDF from my website in the description.

Okay, so now let's make our way to the entrance slash kitchen.

You can see this right here is our entrance.

This is our door and our lock over here.

If you come this way, you can see a cupboard here or like a storage space.

And this is just where we put our shoes

so you can come a little closer

and you can see all of our shoes here these are all our shoes i'll close this up

and here is our fridge

and also some storage you can see literally all our cupboards are completely

and utterly empty

but let's open up the freezer this top part is the freezer nothing right empty this is empty there's nothing

in the freezer.

But how does the freezer feel?

How does it feel?

It feels very cold.

The freezer is cold to the touch.

Also if you put your hand in there you can feel it's cold.

Let's close that up.

Now let's open up the fridge but before we open it can you guys tell me what this is used for?

This is a water dispenser built into the fridge so you can grab a glass and fill up your water here.

Let's open up the fridge now.

Here you can see it's empty.

The fridge is empty as well.

There's just some sauce packets from the takeout we ordered and a water bottle.

But besides that, it's empty.

So that's why I placed an order.

It was around 100 Canadian dollars total for everything I ordered.

So you'll see how much that can get you here.

Delivery was free and I think it's just more convenient to order online

so you don't have to go to the store

because it's the same price in store as it is online

yeah it is it says same in-store price on grab

but anyways this is our dining table with four wooden chairs our dining table i don't know

if this is like all over asia

but i know this is like really korean to use like

toilet paper instead of like you know paper towel they just use toilet paper

which i it's useful because instead of buying toilet paper

and paper towel you could just buy a lot of toilet paper

and then use that as your paper towel

but yeah that's pretty much all i had to say we'll wait till all our groceries get here

and then we'll show you everything we got see you guys

then low-key i know i ordered like a lot of food

but i was not expecting this much

when i went down to pick up the food the grab driver first of all brought all of this scooter

and when i went down to pick it up he gave me this box

so i thought this was it so i took it i was walking in

and then he comes behind me with a bunch more

and he brings it in the gate i'm like oh you could just put it down there

and then i put it all on top of the box and And I just carried all of this.

It wasn't heavy, but it was just like really awkward because there are eggs here.

This bread is like really big.

And there's a bunch of frozen stuff here.

So I was like, like this in the elevator.

Anyway.

Yo, what are you working on?

Yo, I'm working on my channel right now.

I just started.

I'm going to be posting once a week if you guys want to check it out.

So if you guys want to follow Leon on YouTube, he's posting comprehensible input vlogs here.

Nomadapedia.

It's in the description.

This is what we got.

Four French baguettes and I guess I should explain why I have like

so much food here because this is just my food I low-key just ordered this for myself.

I don't think Leon cooks So he'll just order takeout

but I bought this for myself

because now I'm starting to take the gym more seriously since I'll be staying here for like three months

So I'm like I should get into a routine start going to the gym again Start eating well

and like eating the amount of food I should be eating

because low-key I haven't really been eating that much lately and when I do it's not like the healthiest food. So yeah.

We got carbs.

This is mainly like before going to workout or doing any like physical activity.

Some quick digested carbs to give me energy.

We have 30 eggs.

Oh yeah and by the way this is all for one week.

I'll open this first So I can put it in the freezer.

So I got a bag of frozen mixed berries

also a bag of frozen mixed vegetables also a bag of frozen corn and I did order four things of chicken,

but they only had three and they messaged me So they just gave me three packets of chicken breast.

So I'll open it up so you can see better So this right here is chicken breast.

I believe each packet comes with two chicken breasts and also Protein Greek yogurt.

No sugar added, 0.5% fat.

100

So that should be healthy.

101

I wish they had a larger container, but they didn't so I just bought two 500 gram containers.

102

Anyways, let's put this in the freezer first.

103

I can kind of feel it's starting to melt.

104

Well the driver didn't have to come that far, did he?

105

No, it was really close.

106

So now you can see.

107

starting to fill the freezer up.

108

We put the stuff that needs to go in the freezer in the freezer.

109

Now let's put the chicken.

110

Let's put the chicken in the fridge.

111

Remember we talked about this earlier.

112

This part of the fridge is called the fridge.

113

You call this whole thing the refrigerator.

114

Most people just refer to it as the fridge but the top part specifically is the freezer section.

115

So I'll put that here.

116

I'll close that up.

117

Actually I have my Greek yogurt.

118

This Greek yogurt will mainly be for like breakfast or like my last snack of the day.

119

I'll make like Greek yogurt with berries and oats and I also want to try making overnight oats.

120

I always see that on TikTok like people

121

that work out they make a lot of oats especially like overnight oats and stuff like this so I'll start doing that.

122

Here we have bread.

123

Low-key I ordered a lot of bread.

124

I probably should have ordered like two

125

and then another two in the middle of the week

126

so it's probably gonna get stale so I might just give Leon some of this

127

but yeah I don't know how to keep bread from getting stale.

128

You can freeze it.

129

Yeah I guess.

130

So yeah this is the whole list of things I got.

131

So I also got kimchi.

132

They didn't have the one I wanted but they had an alternative.

133

So an alternative isn't the one you originally wanted but it's something very very similar.

134

So they had an alternative so I'm like okay I'll just get

135

that one and like I said they were missing some chicken breast

136

and some tuna so I only got three cans of tuna

137

and three packs of chicken breast

138

but I ordered four that's just the name of the game out here now I'm gonna get a knife

139

so I can cut this big box open

140

and I've never actually like seriously dieted before dieted I usually

141

just like fasted to lose weight yeah dude this is like

142

some big spinach dude oh it looks like bok choy now here's the bok choy

143

so I got bok choy I really like bok choy So I made sure to get that.

144

This is the kimchi.

145

I don't know if you guys know this brand.

146

I'm pretty sure it's a Korean brand.

147

Number one kimchi brand in Korea.

148

I'm not an expert, but I think it's from Korea.

149

So let's take everything out.

150

Here we have jasmine rice.

151

Well, they call it fragrant rice, but chat GPT said it's pretty much jasmine rice.

152

Jasmine rice.

153

Here we have my oats and I guess they gave a little bonus pack with the oats.

154

Oh, yeah.

155

This is my pack of oats.

156

I also got soya sauce, extra virgin olive oil, almonds.

157

Also got some spices.

158

I couldn't find like there wasn't any onion powder and stuff like that available but I got garlic powder, paprika, cinnamon and black pepper.

159

Oh I forgot to get salt.

160

That's like the most important one.

161

I also got kiwi.

162

I didn't buy really much fresh fruit as you can see here

163

because I can go just buy that outside on the street.

164

So all I got was kiwi and then a couple cans of tuna.

165

As you can see here, some baby carrots and last but not least, two packets of potatoes.

166

So yeah, that's everything I bought.

167

Don't just watch this lesson, practice it with the workbooks on my website.

168

It includes exercises to help you remember what you learned.

169

You can really see there is a lot of stuff here and this will last about a week.

170

Obviously the stuff like the spices will last longer than a week but pretty much everything else will just last a week.

171

Rice I think will probably last longer than a week pretty sure but everything else like the kiwi, the fruit, the oats, the vegetables, the eggs.

172

Oh this will last longer than a week too.

173

Maybe not this but everything else about a week

174

and yeah honestly it's like I don't know if it's expensive

175

or not like it was around a hundred dollars for all

176

this this is like a lot of food it's like enough food for a week

177

but maybe for vietnam it's pricier

178

but i bought it from like a really popular like grocery store

179

so yeah i'm not really sure about that

180

but anyway this is all the stuff i got

181

and now i'll start packing it in the cupboards okay so now let's have the pronunciation and accent training segment.

182

Read the text on screen.

183

This is a cozy dining area with a dark wooden table covered in groceries and cooking ingredients.

184

As you look at the table you can see bags of vegetables,

185

canned food, spices, sauces and other kitchen items spread across the surface.

186

Some Some plastic bags

187

and packaging are still lying around making it feel like someone just came back from grocery shopping and started unpacking everything.

188

The room feels warm and homey because of the wooden furniture

189

and soft natural light coming through the large white curtains in the background.

190

Around the table there are several wooden chairs neatly placed on the smooth tiled floor.

191

The lighting is soft and slightly dim which gives the space a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

192

On the table you can notice fresh green vegetables,

193

lemons, carrots, seasonings, bottles of sauce and containers of food placed in different spots.

194

The groceries are a little messy and unorganized but it makes the scene feel realistic and lived in.

195

this looks like a quiet kitchen or dining room right before someone starts cooking a big homemade meal.

196

Hopefully you guys like that pronunciation and accent training segment.

197

Now let's kind of try to find a place to put all the items.

198

And I have an announcement for you guys.

199

I'll be posting my shadowing stories on my second channel, Volca.

200

The link to my channel will be in the description so make sure to subscribe and watch videos there.

201

Where do you think I should put the rice?

202

You can just leave it on the counter.

203

You're probably going to use that every day.

204

Yeah, most likely because we don't have a rice cooker, do we?

205

You might have to check the cupboards, but it's pretty easy to cook rice just in a pot, I think.

206

Yeah, but I was just asking about a rice cooker

207

because usually you can just like leave rice always on in a rice cooker. Can you?

208

Like just always there, like always ready because it keeps it warm instead of like having like stale rice, you know?

209

Yeah.

210

In some places I live, they just always have like fresh rice or like, you know, some restaurants that just always have like that rice cooker with warm like steamed rice.

211

Yeah.

212

It just keeps it like easy and ready to eat.

213

The vegetables, I'll put in the fridge.

214

Dude, I've never seen spinach this big.

215

Low-key kind of crazy.

216

Organic spinach.

217

I'm healthy bro.

218

Talk about healthy living bro.

219

Who would have guessed?

220

I don't even know if you like spinach.

221

I hate wasting stuff so I'm gonna actually have to eat healthy even if it's for a week.

222

Oh it's so...

223

Oh crap.

224

Who dropped that?

225

Is that the chicken?

226

No, it's the tuna. In water.

227

You always have to get tuna in water if you're trying to lose weight or something.

228

Because if it's in oil, it'll have just a lot more calories.

229

Tuna, I guess this stuff I'll also put on the counter.

230

And maybe this canned stuff.

231

Literally nothing in these cupboards.

232

So I'll just put it in there.

233

Do you have to put soy sauce in the fridge after you open it?

234

I don't think so, but usually on bottles it tells you if it needs to be refrigerated.

235

It'll say something like, refrigerate after opening.

236

Well, it's going in there for now.

237

This olive oil can stay right there.

238

Potatoes, I'll probably just put on the counter as well.

239

Let me put this over here.

240

Yeah, I'll put this in here too.

241

Last couple things are my bread.

242

These were like 25 cents each. Were they?

243

Yeah, it was like $6,000.

244

Literally, super cheap.

245

No, even cheaper. $3,800.

246

All of these were 75 cents.

247

75 cents for all this.

248

That's a pretty good deal.

249

Yeah, and I love baguettes, bro.

250

Well, Vietnam makes some really good baguettes.

251

Oh yeah, they got that French bakery on lock, dude.

252

I'm just trying to untie this bag, but I don't really have patience, so I'll just rip it.

253

Put that in there.

254

This one.

255

Lastly the eggs.

256

Oh yeah, they fit.

257

I just unpacked all the groceries.

258

I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to make tonight for dinner, but I do have to order like a scale off Lazada.

259

You know, want to know how much a scale is like to weigh yourself?

260

A dollar?

261

Five dollars.

262

Wow.

263

And a scale to weigh food is more.

264

It's like six dollars.

265

But then creatine is like 30 dollars.

266

Yeah, I paid 50 ring it for that creatine.

267

300 grams.

268

I got 500 grams.

269

Creatine.

270

That's just like a gym supplement you take.

271

I guess it's just good for you.

272

I don't know, it's like the most researched supplement in the world, so we'll just say to take it.

273

Anyway, we unpacked everything.

274

Okay, I am a chef, so I might have to bless your eyes with my cooking later today.

275

Name three things you can cook.

276

Eggs, toast, and eggs with toast.

277

How are you gonna make toast here?

278

What's that right there?

279

Microwave.

280

Exactly.

281

I like my toast nice and like soggy.

282

Last thing I want to show you before we jump into like some cooking stuff is this right here.

283

This is a five gallon jug of water.

284

So you can see right here, you just push this down and then water will come out.

285

And I think we'll probably go through each one of these a week.

286

I have one in my room.

287

This is Leon's here.

288

So we should drink a lot of water.

289

I have found myself being a lot more thirsty lately.

290

But yeah, this is our kitchen.

291

This is a knife.

292

I just unpacked all my groceries.

293

I put stuff in the cupboards, on the counter, in the freezer, and in the fridge.

294

Low-key, it was a lot.

295

When you order online, you can't really tell how big the package is.

296

You can just look at the weight.

297

But once it's here, it looks like a lot more, especially the baguettes.

298

I was like, for that cheap, I thought it'd be like really small.

299

I guess it doesn't weigh a lot each of them are like 200 grams like honestly It's not that much anyways.

300

I'll put this knife back here and we'll see you guys later tonight.

301

Okay, so

302

And I've also started posting these videos as Podcasts you can find them here or in the description Volca English Yeah,

303

as you can see we didn't end up cooking tonight.

304

Did we we did not oh? oh here you can see

305

we got takeout from pizza hut buy one get one free

306

so you buy one pizza

307

and you get the second one free i got hawaiian leon got meat lovers

308

and it also came with a drink as well the pizza

309

was delivered in this big plastic bag you can hear this can is empty this can is empty

310

and we finished our pizza this one's mine i still have some crust left some crust But yeah,

311

now we're gonna put the pizza boxes back into this bag and throw it out.

312

But tomorrow, tomorrow is when we will, or I, will start using this.

313

I think for breakfast I'll have some Greek yogurt with fruit.

314

And then for lunch I'll definitely eat some meat.

315

This is my breakfast.

316

Black coffee.

317

That's all you're gonna have for breakfast.

318

That's all you need.

319

That looks very strong.

320

Oh, it's Vietnamese coffee, that's why.

321

It looks really strong.

322

So yeah, we're done now.

323

This is just garbage.

324

We'll put it in a bag so we can throw it out.

325

So this up here, that is the ceiling.

326

The ceiling.

327

That right there is an AC, air conditioning.

328

An air conditioning unit.

329

On the wall there, you can see a painting.

330

That is a painting.

331

Here you have the TV.

332

So now I'm going to close this pizza box, and I'm going to put it in this bag.

333

Did you want to keep these sauces?

334

Yeah, I think they're all chili sauce.

335

So it's up to you.

336

I think there's some ketchup.

337

Might as well keep it since we're staying here.

338

Oh, I guess we could keep the napkins too.

339

But I'll put the pizza boxes back into this bag.

340

Also the cans.

341

And then I'll put it, I guess, here since we're going to go throw it out.

342

And now I'm tying the bag.

343

I'm tying the bag.

344

So I just tied the bag and yeah, we're done cleaning up.

345

Very fast, very efficient, very easy, very swift.

346

Not really much to clean up since we didn't have to cook

347

but I'll take the napkins and the sauce packets

348

and I'll put the napkins on the table and I'll put the sauce packets here with the other ones.

349

But yeah, that's pretty much it.

350

That's it for today.

351

That's the end of the daily vlog.

352

I think for the rest of the day, I'll finish up some work and then maybe watch a movie

353

or something or just go straight to bed depending on how tired I am.

354

So let me know in the comments what you did today and also how was your day?

Make sure my address is correct without exposing myself and you can see all of our shoes here.

361

These are all our shoes.

362

This is empty.

363

There's nothing in the freezer.

364

I think it's just more convenient to order online so you don't have to go to the store.

365

It wasn't heavy but it was just like really awkward because there are Our eggs here, some quick digesting carbs to give me energy.

366

No sugar added, 0.5% fat.

367

Here we have bread.

368

Low-key I ordered a lot of bread.

369

They didn't have the one I wanted, but they had an alternative.

370

So an alternative.

371

And I've never actually like seriously dieted before.

372

Dieted.

373

I usually just, and this will last about a week.

374

Obviously the stuff like the vegetables, I'll put in the fridge.

375

You can just look at the weight, but once it's here, it looks like a lot more an AC, or you can call it air conditioning, an air conditioning unit.

376

Yeah, we're done cleaning up.

377

Very fast, very efficient, very easy, very swift.

378

You will become fluent in English.

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.
