1
Do you want to start thinking in English faster instead of just translating everything in your head?
2
In this video, you are going to shout out a real story written the way native English speakers actually talk.
3
This helps you connect directly to meaning, so your brain starts processing English faster and more naturally.
4
At the same time, you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, listening, and speaking by copying real English.
5
So read with me, shadow out loud, and train your brain to think in English.
6
This video is part of my 3000 most common English word
7
series designed to help you understand up to 95% of spoken English.
8
If you want to get the 3000 most common English words PDF, it's in the description.
9
Let's get started.
10
My brother and sister-in-law planned their baby shower on the same day as my wedding.
11
So to start off guys, do you know what a baby shower is?
12
Do you know what a baby shower is?
13
If you know what it is, let me know in the comments right now.
14
So a baby shower is a celebratory party held for parents that are expecting a baby.
15
So it's kind of to celebrate the upcoming birth of your child.
16
A baby shower.
17
So the child isn't born yet, but the woman is pregnant.
18
So they celebrate the upcoming birth of that child.
19
A baby shower.
20
And remember guys to read on the right hand side and shadow me.
21
I, 25 male, met my beautiful fiance, 25 female, in September 2024.
22
I moved from my state to her state three months after we met so I could be closer to her.
23
We got engaged in July 2025, exactly 10 months after we met, and we set the wedding date for March 14th.
24
No offense, but you think the women would be the ones bringing all the drama to our wedding, right?
25
Not in this case.
26
My two older brothers, let's call them Dumb, aka Jay, 36 male, and Dumber,
27
aka Pat, 33 male, have brought nothing but drama to my wedding.
28
So his brothers are a lot older than him.
29
He's 25 and his other siblings are 33 and 36.
30
So that's an 8 and 11 year difference.
31
I asked both of my brothers to be groomsmen since I was the best man in Pat's wedding
32
and also in Jay's wedding.
33
They both said yes, and that's where the drama begins.
34
A month later, Pat calls me
35
and says he won't be able to make it to my wedding
36
because his wife is pregnant and her due date is in late April.
37
Mind you, my wedding is five to six weeks before her due date, and it's only about a four-hour drive.
38
If you want to learn faster and go deeper than the video, then get the workbook on my website, vocaenglish.com.
39
The workbook explains everything in greater detail and comes with exercises to help you learn new vocabulary,
40
grammar, tenses, sentence patterns, comprehension and real English you can actually use.
41
I also have workbooks for past videos so you can keep practicing and improving every lesson.
42
Click the link in my description to get the workbooks.
43
I brushed it off, congratulated him on the pregnancy and moved on.
44
I then asked another friend of mine who's also out of state.
45
Let's call him Steve if he would take Pat's place.
46
And he said yes.
47
Come Black Friday, I decided to rent our suits since that's normally cheaper.
48
It was $175 on sale because of Black Friday for the suit, shoes, shirt, belt, and pants.
49
Steve and Jay complained that it was too much money, that it was Black Friday, and that since they have kids,
50
they wouldn't be able to spend that much on renting a suit.
51
They then reached out to me separately and asked if we could buy instead since that would be cheaper.
52
So I gave in and the suits, shoes, belts, shirts and pants came out to a total of $250.
53
So much for buying being cheaper.
54
Fast forward to January, my fiance
55
and I decided to have a joint bachelor-bachelorette trip in the
56
mountains since we figured it would be more fun with more people.
57
The girls would do their own thing during the day, the guys would do their own thing, and we'd all do a group activity together in the evening.
58
We decided to do it in January since Jay is an accountant and wouldn't have been able to do it sooner.
59
After my fiancé sent out all the details, Jay and Steve declined the invitation to the Batch trip.
60
Batch is just short for bachelor.
61
The bachelor trip.
62
Without my knowledge, my fiance had also included a question in the questionnaire she sent out,
63
asking whether the guys would want to save money and share a bed or pay extra to have their own bed.
64
Jay and Steve saw this and started complaining behind my back,
65
and my brothers and my dad then proceeded to call me gay for asking if the guys wanted to share a bed.
66
The batch trip was absolutely incredible and so much fun.
67
A couple of weeks after the batch trip, my fiance gets a text from my sister-in-law, Pat's wife.
68
She sent us a save the date for her baby shower.
69
And wouldn't you know it, the baby shower is on March 14th.
70
Yep, the same day as my wedding.
71
A week later, they had the absolute audacity to send my fiance an invitation to the baby shower with a message that said, We know y'all are far away,
72
but we'd love it if you could come.
73
and what, miss our wedding?
74
The reason they're having the baby shower on my wedding day, in my opinion, is because my sister-in-law can't stand my family.
75
So she chose our wedding day knowing none of my family would be able to attend, meaning only her family would be there.
76
If you've seen The Help, my sister-in-law is Hilly Walters.
77
Let me know if you guys have seen that movie.
78
I personally have not.
79
Update.
80
A lot of people keep asking about my family and whether Pat is making them choose sides.
81
No, my family can't stand Pat and Hilly.
82
So even if they try to pull that card, my family would still choose to come to my wedding without a second thought.
83
My siblings and my dad will be there.
84
My mom will not be attending as she passed away three years ago.
85
Now for the part they'd probably prefer I leave out.
86
This is not Pat and Hilly's first child.
87
This is their third child.
88
They already have two daughters and another girl on the way.
89
Hilly has had zero complications with any of her pregnancies or deliveries.
90
This is not an emergency, not a crisis, and not some tragic circumstance.
91
It is a conscious decision to hijack attention.
92
And yes, it's exactly as selfish as it sounds.
93
And just when you think it can't get any worse, the person who contacted my fiancé was Hilly's best friend.
94
For clarity, none of Hilly's friends have any relationship with my fiancé or me.
95
My fiancé was intentionally included to make sure we knew that instead of celebrating our wedding, they'd be celebrating themselves.
96
This was calculated, unnecessary, and dripping with main character syndrome.
97
So no, this isn't a misunderstanding.
98
This isn't bad timing.
99
This is two people repeatedly showing everyone exactly who they are.
100
Update 2.
101
I was talking to my dad last night and shockingly the baby shower fiasco came up again.
102
It turns out Pat and Hilly went over to my dad's house on Saturday.
103
My condolences and he confronted them about why the baby shower was scheduled on my literal wedding day.
104
Pat immediately played dumb and claimed he had no idea it was on my wedding day.
105
He then proceeded to claim that it was the only day they could host the shower, which is hilarious considering he knew the date when I asked him to be a groomsman.
106
And when we got the save the date, Hilly openly admitted she knew it was the same day as our wedding.
107
So yeah, that was a lie.
108
For some background, because this behavior didn't come out of nowhere.
109
Back in August 2025, when I asked Pat and Jay to be my groomsmen, we were on a family vacation.
110
Normally, my dad buys the groceries for these trips and doesn't expect anyone to pay him back.
111
This time, before we even arrived, Pat and Hilly decided to go rogue, bought groceries for everyone without telling us,
112
and then informed us we owed them $70 per person slash couple.
113
No discussion, no heads up, just a Venmo request.
114
At the time, my fiance and I had just gotten engaged.
115
I genuinely couldn't afford it, especially since I had already paid my dad $450 for our share of the Airbnb,
116
which is normal in my family, and something we had planned for months in advance.
117
What I did not plan for was a surprise $70 grocery bill for food I didn't ask for and didn't know existed.
118
However, I refused to pay it considering I couldn't afford it and their lack of communication was not about to cost me $70.
119
My refusal apparently caused too much drama, so my dad paid Pat the $70 on our behalf just to make it stop.
120
Fast forward to this weekend.
121
While visiting my dad, Pat mentioned that his wedding gift to me would be the $70 I never paid him.
122
My dad snapped and told him he had already paid it.
123
Pat then denied ever receiving the money confidently until Haley finally corrected him and confirmed that yes, my dad did pay him.
124
And because why not pile it on, Pat also complained about how expensive our wedding registry is before purchasing the cheapest item on it.
125
This is from the same man who proudly put a $70 Yeti cooler on his registry a few years ago.
126
So to recap, lies about the date, selective amnesia about money that was already paid,
127
and complains about how expensive my wedding registry is.
128
I hope you guys are enjoying this shadowing lesson.
129
one tip I would like to give you guys is
130
if you're watching this on your laptop or the TV or another phone, I would recommend recording yourself reading one of these paragraphs.
131
Read it out loud so that you can hear your pronunciation and accent as you watch the video back.
132
Then in a few months, once you've practiced your accent and your pronunciation more, you can go back and watch these videos to see how much you have improved.
133
So make sure to keep track of your progress by recording yourself talking out loud in English.
134
Next story.
135
Am I the a-hole for asking my grieving boyfriend to set boundaries with his mom after she wears my bathing suit?
136
I, 39 female, was dating Mark, 38 male, for almost five months when his dad sadly passed away from cancer.
137
It was awful, obviously.
138
His dad was awesome and Mark and he were very close.
139
I try to be supportive, respectful, and give him space.
140
All of it.
141
But here's the thing.
142
His mom.
143
Before his dad passed, she was already a lot.
144
She FaceTimed my boyfriend two to three times a day every single day.
145
She showed up unannounced three to four times a week.
146
She lives 45 minutes away.
147
She did his laundry.
148
She cleaned his house.
149
She cooked for him.
150
She rearranged his furniture.
151
She decorated his entire house.
152
This man is 38.
153
If you're serious about becoming fluent in English,
154
I've built a full speaking and pronunciation course that shows you exactly what to do step by step.
155
You get instant access to 80 plus video lessons right away
156
and I add three to five brand new lessons every week
157
so you can keep improving consistently
158
and this is not just a course full of random videos you'll get an exclusive chat gpt prompt
159
that allows you to master the pronunciation of any word plus a clear practice structure
160
so you always know exactly how to study what to focus on
161
and how to make real progress inside we work on pronunciation accent rhythm and natural speaking.
162
So you can stop hesitating, sound more natural and speak English with real confidence.
163
Join today in the description.
164
Every weekend she would just appear at his house where I also was
165
and sit there bad mouthing his ex for hours in front of me
166
which felt less like bonding and more like an audition.
167
Look how much I hated the last one.
168
Meanwhile she was syrupy sweet to my face in a way that made my skin itch.
169
Fast forward, his dad passes away.
170
I'm walking on eggshells because grief is brutal and I'm not a monster.
171
Then one day, while I'm not there, she goes to his house and wears my bathing suit in the spa.
172
Not a random spare, my bathing suit.
173
I only found out because she took it home with her to wash it.
174
Let me repeat that.
175
She drove 45 minutes home with my used bathing suit to wash it, even though she usually does her son's laundry at her place.
176
After the bathing suit incident, I stayed quiet because she had just lost her husband.
177
I didn't want to be the villain over swimwear.
178
The next day, my boyfriend casually told me he was turning his basement into an apartment for his mom
179
so she could move in.
180
Not a discussion, a decision.
181
I took a few days to process everything, then asked to talk, calmly.
182
I said I understood she was grieving, but before she moved in, he needed to set boundaries.
183
I mentioned how intense things already were and that her wearing my bathing suit without asking made me uncomfortable.
184
He got defensive immediately, took her side, and told me to leave.
185
Then he gave me the silent treatment for two days.
186
After that, he dumped me by text.
187
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
188
He dumped you by text because you didn't want his crazy mom to move in with you guys.
189
I feel like he did you a favor.
190
I'm not going to lie.
191
Let's continue.
192
It hurts, but honestly, if asking for basic boundaries ends a relationship, it probably wasn't much of one to begin with.
193
Facts.
194
So that's the end of that story.
195
And overall, that is kind of insane.
196
So I definitely don't think you're in the wrong.
197
You are your own person and you're allowed to set boundaries with other people.
198
And if they don't respect those boundaries or they cross them, then you can step away or they can break up with you if they don't like that boundary.
199
Clearly, your boyfriend did not like that boundary you were setting with him and his mom and he broke up with you.
200
I mean, I don't think he did anything wrong either.
201
It's his mom.
202
So obviously he's going to prioritize her naturally
203
but you felt like she was really controlling and she crossed the boundary by wearing your bathing suit, but you didn't want to bring it up because she just lost her husband.
204
And honestly, if the relationship is that fragile, that after setting this boundary, he wants to break up with you, then I think that's for the better in all honesty.
205
What do you guys think?
206
Let me know in the comments.
207
And remember, if you want to get the 3000 most common English words PDF to understand up to 95% of spoken English, it's in the description.
208
I'll see you guys next video.
209
Bye.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
