シャドーイング練習: LEARN ENGLISH While Walking Outside | Comprehensible Input - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

Today you're going to learn how to talk about your daily routine and your habits.

This video is part of my 3000 most common English words

series designed to help you understand up to 95 % of spoken English.

And don't forget guys, comprehensible input videos like this is up to four times more effective than traditional classrooms.

Country, white, yellow, blind people, routine, almost never, useful words, sentences, well maintained, answer what, midnight.

We always have the word of gold and it is a perfect word.

Start the word count and let's go.

So how do you talk about your daily routine and habits?

Let's get into it right now.

We are at the Patronus Twin Towers.

If you guys know what city this is in, Let me know in the comments if you're from This city, let me know in the comments.

And if you're from this country, let me know as well.

But anyways, morning routine.

We will talk about that, but first, let's find a better place to go talk about that using comprehensible input.

So right now, I'm gonna walk down these stairs Here, this is a bright yellow line, so you don't trip, but only the first step has that.

These two other steps do not.

But I guess You only need one bright yellow line to notice it.

What do you think?

You think it's safer to have all of them with a bright yellow line or just the top step?

I think it's safer to have them all, but I think this is just for blind people.

Do you think so?

I don't think a blind person can see that.

No, usually there is some sort of bumpy stuff, so when they feel it with their walking stick, This just looks painted on.

Yeah.

So right now we are heading to a very beautiful area that a lot of people go to start their morning routine.

So that is where we will also start our morning routine.

But right now, you can see, we are just outside of these towers.

There is a nice row of trees here, and there are also benches you can sit on.

This is a nice area to come and relax.

But right now we're going to head into this building and walk through it.

Okay guys, we are in a mall right now and usually going to a mall isn't really part of my morning routine.

I almost never

come to a mall but today it is part of my morning routine

so we're going to the mall to check out a store called Decathlon where you can buy things

but usually it's not part of my morning routine so you can say I almost never do this thing.

I almost never go to the mall in the morning.

If I do go to the mall, it's usually in the afternoon.

What about you? going to the malls in the morning, Yeah.

Is it part of your morning routine?

I'd say no. No?

You don't have a habit of doing that.

No, unless I stay really close to one, then I usually don't.

That's true.

Okay, what do you guys think of this hat? For me.

What do you think, Gleot?

The back looks a little funny because your hair, you just have so much hair.

Yeah.

I think I just prefer a normal hat because this makes me look like really like dumb like a - Mushroom.

I think you have too much hair for that.

Then again, most girls wear I don't know how they wear it and make this look good.

Shout out to the women, bro. for women.

Shout out every woman ever.

for being a woman, I guess.

Okay, let's try it with this hat.

Honestly, I feel like I would wear this.

You do not want to see the side point of view.

It just looks so funny.

Yeah, I can't wear those because my face is too round.

This makes me look like a...

Like a old Teletubby.

No, like, you know, like...

Literally a Teletubby.

No, but you know, like the train?

like Thomas did the tank engine?

Yeah.

Like just like round face.

And also like a Teletubbies.

You know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

You know, insert Leon's face in a Teletubbies.

Give him a selfie.

Okay guys, so now we are at KLCC Park.

KLCC Park.

We're going to start talking about our daily routine and habits.

So you can divide that into three categories.

your morning routine, your afternoon routine, and your evening routine.

So those are the three parts of the day, and you could divide them all into separate routines when you talk about your daily routine and habits.

Okay, so here are four useful words you can use when talking about your daily routine.

I always I usually I sometimes And I never.

I always means every day.

I usually means most days.

I sometimes means not every day.

And I never mean zero days, so you never do it.

So out of all the days of the week, You never do this activity.

Those are four important words you can use when talking about your daily routine and habits.

Now let's make a couple sentences using those four words.

I always have a shower in the morning.

I usually eat lunch in the afternoon but not Always.

And in the evening, I sometimes go out to a restaurant to eat.

And something I never do, at all throughout the whole day is I never eat breakfast.

I never eat breakfast.

ever.

Now it's your turn.

Make me a sentence using each of those words.

I always I usually I sometimes I never.

Make a sentence now.

And if you want to practice even more, take a video of yourself saying these sentences out loud.

100

You can also write your answers in the comments

101

and I'll tell you if your sentence is right or if it needs improvement.

102

- Okay, this park is pretty nice.

103

What do you think of it so far?

104

So far this park looks really well maintained.

105

I don't see any garbage or anything that shouldn't be there.

106

It does seem fairly popular.

107

the middle of the day and there are quite a few people out.

108

Yeah, one thing I would add to that is that it It seems kind of small, or does it go like a lot further that way?

109

From what I'm seeing, it's like, it's kind of small, in my opinion.

110

Yeah, it's not super huge.

111

We are in the center of the city right now.

112

Yeah.

113

But it does go that way.

114

And then over there is an aquarium.

115

over there.

116

So that, yeah to that side.

117

There's a large aquarium.

118

-Central Park is probably and arguably the most famous park out of all the parks.

119

When you think of a park inside a city, usually you think of Central Park, right?

120

Yeah, that's, I think, I'd argue it's the most famous park in the world.

121

Yeah, like...

122

Usually when I think of a park in a city, I think of Central Park, and that park is huge.

123

And there are so many movies that feature Central Park.

124

Like, one off the top of my head is Elf.

125

Alpha is like a very popular Christmas movie and it features a lot of scenes in Central Park during the winter.

126

But yeah, this park is quite nice.

127

- I see on the ground here, are those Ants or what?

128

Like, what are these?

129

Yeah, they look like really small ants.

130

I'm not sure if you can see it on camera, but they're so small.

131

They kind of look like fruit flies to me but I'm pretty sure they're ads.

132

Wow.

133

How would you guys these ends.

134

To me, these ants are Very tiny, almost microscopic, you could say.

135

And that's obviously an exaggeration, but that just shows you how small they are.

136

They are extremely small.

137

They don't even look like ants.

138

They look like tiny fruit flies to me.

139

That's how small they are.

140

And they're also quite fast.

141

What other words would you use to describe those ants?

142

I'd say their movements are erratic.

143

They're not moving in a straight line or following a path.

144

They're kind of jerking around, yeah.

145

They're all over the place.

146

I'm sure they have orders from the queen, from the queen aunt, but I don't know what those orders are, but they're just like all over the place.

147

Do you guys You see this right here come a little closer to show them.

148

Do you know what this is?

149

What is this called?

150

- That looks like a light to me.

151

Yeah, so this.. is an led light by the looks of it it looks like an led light

152

and this just turns on at night to light up these trees.

153

So I'm sure this park at night is very beautiful.

154

And also right across this park is the Petronas Twin Towers, which are beautiful at night.

155

The tower lights up at night, and there are many different colors.

156

such as red, purple, green, blue, black, White.

157

And we can see it from our apartment, right?

158

Yeah, we can see this tower from our apartment.

159

That's how big it is.

160

Tell me guys, what is your favorite color?

161

Let me know.

162

Want more practice?

163

Get the workbook for this lesson on my website and review the vocabulary, grammar and real English from this video.

164

So some linking words you can use to sound more fluent when talking about your daily routine are then after that later.

165

And finally, So if I had to talk about my daily routine, this is what I usually do every morning.

166

I always have a shower in the morning.

167

After that, I brush my teeth.

168

Then I get dressed.

169

Later, I go to work.

170

And finally, at the end of the day, I just kicked back relaxed and watch some TV or just scroll through my phone.

171

So that's usually what I do in my day in the morning.

172

I just get up in the afternoon, I work, And in the evening, I relax.

173

maybe do a little bit more work, and then I go to bed.

174

And I have the same schedule every day.

175

every morning I wake up at 8am and every night I go to bed at midnight at 12 a .m.

176

This way I sleep for eight hours and then my body wakes up naturally without needing an alarm.

177

Now it's your turn.

178

What do you usually do in the morning?

179

In the morning, I do the same thing as you, and I sometimes Drink coffee in the mornings.

180

Why not every morning?

181

I only drink it when I feel tired.

182

RFI will need a lot of energy throughout the day.

183

Yeah, I honestly never drink coffee because I don't need it and I hate the taste of

184

What do you do in the afternoon?

185

In the afternoon?

186

I always eat lunch.

187

You never skip it usually never skip lunch or I'll have a later lunch.

188

If anything, I'll skip breakfast and It's maybe dinner, depending on how eight Late.

189

I eat lunch.

190

Are there some situations where you can't avoid it and you end up skipping lunch?

191

There have been a few situations, I'm very busy or I'm traveling or even I'm flying and I don't eat anything during lunchtime.

192

Then I would skip it.

193

But usually I have a meal a day.

194

At least one.

195

At least one.

196

I mean, I think You need to have at least one meal a day.

197

Yeah, I would say me and Leon have a similar routine.

198

We both almost never eat breakfast.

199

I never eat breakfast and we always have lunch.

200

a late lunch, like around 2 :00 p .m.

201

And then we have dinner around 6 to 8 p .m.

202

So our lunch and dinner isn't too far apart.

203

And that way we don't eat as much, which is good because we're trying to lose weight.

204

And finally, What do you do in the evening?

205

In the evening, I always take a little bit of time to relax.

206

especially if I had a busy day, I always brush my teeth before I go to bed

207

or just after my last meal you ever call your mom in the evening or?

208

Yes.

209

That's the best time to call my family because of the time change.

210

So in the evenings, I sometimes call my family, my mom.

211

my dad at least once a week.

212

- Okay, so yeah, you sometimes do.

213

Me too, I sometimes do.

214

Now you guys answer: What do you do in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening?

215

Okay, you guys, now we're walking kind of off the beaten path.

216

So the trail or the path is over there.

217

And you can see the path is very nice.

218

But we are on top of this small little hill.

219

And there are a lot of routes So you can trip on these and see how it's going sprain your ankle.

220

There are a lot of roots but it's not really a big deal since I have the Berks.

221

And these things are 4x4, waterproof, trailproof, rainproof, windproof, sunproof.

222

Are they stepproof?

223

everything proof.

224

Okay, so on the right hand side of this path, there is a grate.

225

A grate.

226

And this is just for water.

227

This is actually very deep.

228

I did not think it was that deep.

229

So you do not want to fall in there.

230

But yeah, this grate is just to keep you from falling in here.

231

And it's on the right -hand side of this path.

232

But if I'm walking that way, It's on my left hand side.

233

Both ways you can say right hand side, left hand side.

234

And we just say left hand side and right hand side just to be more exact when we're saying

235

what side it's on because right has more than one meaning in English.

236

Right can be like, Yes, you're right, but it could also be you're right side or your right hand.

237

Or it could be like writing on a paper.

238

Or it could be writing.

239

Right right on your paper.

240

So it is spelled differently.

241

but it's pronounced the same.

242

Right.

243

Now I'm gonna ask you guys, three questions and I want you to answer, and then check the comments for the correct answer.

244

which one of these means 0 % of the time.

245

answer and then check the comments for the correct answer.

246

choose the best sentence out of all these sentences.

247

I'll be posting my shadowing stories.

248

Second channel.

249

- Has your daily routine changed at all since you've started traveling?

250

- I think so.

251

I wake up earlier while I'm traveling, which is surprising, I guess.

252

- What time do you wake up?

253

- Usually around 5 :00 a .m.

254

I'm up.

255

- Around five?

256

So who are you lying to?

257

Nah, it's usually 7 :30 to 8 :00.

258

I wake up.

259

And then we've started going to the gym now at around 8 o 'clock.

260

So definitely going to the gym more often because it's so close.

261

Compared to back home in Canada, we had a drive to it.

262

It's in our building, so we can just literally go up the elevator and then we're at the gym, whereas In Canada, we have to drive 20 minutes to get to the town.

263

where the gym is.

264

So it is really nice and really convenient to be able to just walk to the gym or just take the elevator. so convenient.

265

I'll definitely miss that convenience.

266

worth it in my opinion.

267

- 100%.

268

- Anything else that's changed in your daily routine?

269

or your daily habits?

270

My daily habits.

271

Now you don't really cook as much, do you?

272

No, cooking is not really a thing anymore because, well, we still can.

273

There's the option to cook, but eating out is a lot more affordable than it is in Canada.

274

It's easier for us to just order some lunch in and order some dinner in.

275

Yeah, and usually we're out and about filming something, so we always grab a bite to eat while we're filming, and then usually film the food to show you guys, and also eat.

276

So it just makes more sense to go out and buy food than to cook.

277

But if we did want to cook, we could.

278

But then it's like we need to buy all the ingredients that's we might not use after that, like oil.

279

- Yeah.

280

- You need to buy oil, salt, pepper, all your spices.

281

It's like, once you think of it, like you need to buy a whole bunch of stuff, and then you're only gonna stay there for like a month max.

282

And some of the places we've stayed, don't even have kitchens.

283

SO I CAN'T REALLY cooked there.

284

Oh, exactly.

285

So it's not really worth it at the end of the day to buy all that extra stuff.

286

Yeah.

287

Although like small things like pre -made meals or something, they're also-- That's not cooking though.

288

Yeah, but they're also pretty affordable.

289

Yeah, so cooking is basically not a thing we do anymore, although In Canada, we did still cook We did cook almost every day.

290

We didn't eat out that much, so I guess it balances out now.

291

- Oh, we?

292

Well, I guess you cooked, yeah.

293

Yeah, well, when I say me, I mean like my family.

294

Shout out to my mom.

295

She's the best cook I know and cooks every meal.

296

- Yeah.

297

- Except for breakfast.

298

We don't really eat breakfast, but lunch in there, W.

299

One thing that has changed in my daily routine is, uh...

300

Seeing my dogs, usually I always saw my dogs throughout the whole day.

301

But now, obviously, I don't see them because they're in Canada and I'm not, so.

302

I don't see my dogs at all anymore.

303

But besides that, my routine is pretty similar.

304

I usually get up in the morning, at 8 :00 a .m., go to the gym, and then I work

305

for the whole day and then in the evening I relax and then I do it again and Yeah.

306

Usually working includes like either editing videos, coming up with new video ideas, or...

307

Um, filming videos which probably takes the most time, honestly, filming the videos, but also editing.

308

Yeah.

309

Now we have a good editor, so...

310

Shout out for Ian, for real.

311

Now we got a good editor, so...

312

That's definitely a huge workload off my shoulders.

313

So it gives me more time to film more videos and work on other things, so...

314

It's nice.

315

I'm not sure if you guys can hear that, but I believe it is prayer time.

316

Yeah, and I think that's a mosque right there. That dome.

317

- So it is pretty close, right?

318

Yeah.

319

This is a nice park.

320

It's not too big.

321

Honestly, it's It's pretty small.

322

It's nice.

323

There are a lot of apartments around the park. So.

324

Yeah.

325

And it's well maintained.

326

But there are like a lot of green spaces.

327

in this city because just over there there's another park with the tower and then

328

Where we're staying in front of us is a huge park as well.

329

Yeah.

330

Like it's where the royal palace is

331

and also like the really rich neighborhood with like compared to like Beverly Hills or something.

332

All the mansions are that park right in front of us.

333

Oh really?

334

If we do the double -decker bus tour, you'll see we go through there.

335

It basically looks like we're leaving the city because it's all open area.

336

But yeah, all the big houses are there and there's butterfly sanctuaries, animal sanctuaries and stuff all over there.

337

So a lot of green space over there.

338

I did not know that.

339

That's actually kind of cool.

340

Yeah, it's really sad that I think it's the richest neighborhood in Kuala Lumpur, but I can't remember the name of the neighborhood.

341

Make sure you guys practice what you learned today.

342

record yourself talking and leave your answers in the comments and I'll answer every comment.

343

Bye guys.

Your daily routine and habits.

347

And if you're from this country, let me know as well.

348

But anyways, this is a bright yellow line so you don't trip.

349

But I think this is just for blind people.

350

Do you think so?

351

To start their morning routine.

352

So that is where we will also you can say I almost never do this thing.

353

Here are four useful words you can use Make me a sentence using each of those words.

354

So far this park looks really well maintained.

355

I don't see any garbage.

356

ants or what?

357

Like, what are these?

358

I go to bed at midnight.

359

at 12 :00 a .m and we always have a lunch usually.

360

Usually there is a great, a great and this is just for water.

361

More affordable than it is in Canada

362

and also like the really rich neighborhood with like to like you will become fluent in English.

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。
