Do you struggle with telling stories in English and describing situations?

By the end of this video, you're going to learn the step-by-step process that I've implemented in my storytelling techniques

and why I'm able to describe situations in detail.

Then, you're going to look at what a linguistic expert says about the step-by-step process

that happens in the mind of a native so that you can imitate them as well.

You need to understand that English is a language that is obsessed with describing action, direction, and manner of a situation.

That's why a lot of students who comment on my post on Instagram, they say things like, Hey, I can't even describe this situation in my language.

And the reason for that is because your language was not made to describe situations in the same way.

This is exactly why English has a lot of phrasal verbs, a lot of these directional phrases.

It's because English is not just expressing yourself or describing situations in detail.

Does that make sense?

So just remember this.

Focus on the actions of what's happening in the direction,

how it's happening, the manner in which it moves through space and time, how the person was feeling as they moved.

That's why you have all these advanced verbs that you see in my videos.

They're not just like, oh, he jumped outside the window.

No. Or he put his hand back.

No. He flung his arm backwards because it's the way he did it, the direction, the dynamic of it.

Did it explode back?

Things like that right

and this is a linguist Luna Filipovic who she talks about this specific thing

that I'm gonna mention to you about English

and how English is different than Spanish when describing things that's what she says please

everything else is dark as night so you really need to remember the example so if If you're a speaker, you speak Spanish, right?

Yeah.

So if you see a man running out of the bank, across the street, into the park,

right, and you tell me what you witnessed in English, you would say, I saw a man, he ran out of the bank, across the street, into the park.

So I know that that man was running all the time.

If you say this to me in English.

Now you cannot say that in Spanish.

It's impossible because the language blocks this structure.

You have to say, he exited the bank running.

You have to say, salió del banco corriendo.

Cruzó la calle corriendo.

Entró en el parque corriendo.

So do you say that in Spanish, like repeating this corriendo?

No, nobody talks like this.

So what research has found of other people and mine is that if you speak Spanish,

you're less likely to talk about how something moved.

Oh, interesting.

That's really interesting.

And just because, you know, you can put corriendo at the beginning of the sentence saying that he exited and crossed and entered the park.

However, how many sentences start with gerund in Spanish?

You're a speaker.

How often do you put a gerund at the beginning?

Almost never.

Exactly.

So what Spanish speakers do, they actually do not express how something will, but they do express the direction.

Because you have to say where things were going.

Motion is about change of locations.

So of course you have to talk about entering, exiting, crossing, et cetera.

But the manner is a kind of extra bit of info

that you can mention and it's it's often omitted in in spanish

but not in english accounts of mandarin motion english on the

other hand typologically um prefers although we can say in english he exited the building

or exited the bank running that's not a preferred option You would say ran out, limped out, staggered out.

So the information that you get from...

You see that right there?

Staggered out.

That means like a way that he exited the building.

He ran out.

He staggered out.

He sneaked out.

You know, whereas other languages would not mention that.

Let's keep listening.

People who speak English, monolingual English speakers, is very detailed in the manner of motion.

and it's not so detailed from the Spanish speakers exactly and

so as a result

when I tested in my lab I then yes I'll tell

you a little bit about the career path I then specialized in psychology

and tested all of that in the lab in my experiments

and I realized that

if you're speaking English you're much more likely to give me details about the manner of motion and therefore

remember because language serves as aid to memory quite a lot

so you will tell me much more about the manner of motion

if you're a speaker of English whereas

if you're a speaker of Spanish you'll tell me less

and you'll remember less

because you can't really have these words to map onto the events you see

and they won't serve much as memory however this is not to say

that one language is better than the other and okay so notice how she said that it has to do with memory.

So if you're a Spanish speaker and you're asked to describe something,

you're not going to remember the actions because your language doesn't work that way in terms of motion and direction mixed together.

And so this is why phrasal verbs matter, right?

The simple version will not have phrasal verbs.

The nuanced version the native version will be enriched right

and here's a tip i'm going to give you a tip

if you're describing a movie scene so let's say we're going to go here

and we're going to describe the mission impossible scene right

which i have here already ready for you and you're going to describe let's watch this here

straight keep going straight go straight straight straight straight Okay, that's our right.

Right?

Now?

Yes, right.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm...

Oh, it's left.

Turn left.

Sorry I had the screen lock on.

100

Thank you.

101

What are you waiting for?

102

I'm jumping out a window.

103

What do you mean you're jumping out of a...

104

Oh, sorry.

105

I had it in 2D.

106

Good luck.

107

Now, I've asked hundreds, maybe even a thousand people to describe this for me, right?

108

And what I saw was that most of the time people

109

that are like intermediate maybe lower intermediate tend to describe uh what they were talking about

110

but not the actions for some reason they ignore the actions

111

and more advanced students do describe the actions

112

but they tend not to use the advanced nuanced phrasal verbs

113

and idioms so if you're already upper intermediate

114

or advanced then you want to focus on enhancing the way you describe things focusing on the actions

115

but the enhanced nuanced ways of doing that that's why you're taking this course

116

because i'm going to teach you how to do that and

117

if you're lower intermediate you know maybe intermediate around there then you want to make sure

118

that you um are i'm opening the door for my dog that's why that's

119

that sound so you want to make sure

120

that you are focusing on what's happening in the scene

121

and one way you can do that this is a quick exercise

122

is the following regardless if you're advanced or not advanced very quickly

123

if you're interested in mastering not only storytelling for your personal life

124

but also for business reasons presentations and meetings my name is daniel cordoba

125

and we've helped over 600 students to find their fluency identity and personality

126

if you're interested schedule a demo call down below this course is for latinos specifically who live in the usa

127

and who want to get a better job or a better position

128

you can take scene by scene so for example we see the scene here where tom cruise does this right okay

129

go straight straight keep going straight straight straight straight

130

so there you would say he ran into the building

131

but maybe you can find another verb for ran he sprinted

132

into the building sprinted means uh let me show you here to sprint means to run fast somewhere

133

so you could say sprinted what was

134

that sprinted into the building right he bolted is another way of saying running fast into the building

135

so you want to find variations of the basic way of saying it that's

136

if you're advanced

137

if you're not advanced also you want to make sure you're saying he ran into the building start with

138

that right notice i'm taking scene by scene you play you

139

pause it you describe it okay that's not right right now yes right are you there you would describe that

140

he turned around he looked to the left into the right

141

if your basics say that because because right now you're not saying

142

that if you're more advanced you want to find an adjective to modify

143

that so you can say he right you can just say he looked to the left

144

and to the right right look to the left what's happening

145

here why can't I edit this okay there we go look to the left

146

and to the right but you want to make sure

147

that you make it a little bit more descriptive how well he was So find a nice advanced way of saying confused.

148

You can say, he confusingly, right?

149

Or in a panic, right?

150

he looked to the left and to the right.

151

Or desperately, he desperately, desperately,

152

I'm not even spelling it right, but who cares?

153

There we go.

154

He desperately looked to the left and to the right.

155

So find adverbs or adjectives to make it more enhanced.

156

Does that make sense?

157

So now I could have just said, he ran into the building, he looked to the left and to the right.

158

But imagine me saying, he bolted into the building desperately, and then he, in a confused manner, looked to the left and to the right.

159

Notice how that changes everything.

160

It makes it more enriched, more detailed.

161

That's what you want to do.

162

Now let's take the next scene.

163

What is that?

164

Yes, I'm...

165

Oh, it's left.

166

Turn left.

167

Sorry, I had the screen lock on.

168

And by the way, you can say that, right?

169

Oh, then his friend said, da-da, and then he said, da-da, right?

170

We'll talk about that later in another video.

171

You could even pause that and describe that, right?

172

So after his friend tells him, left, he looks towards the window and has an epiphany, right?

173

or he looks through the window and he gets an idea, right?

174

That's one way of saying it.

175

So notice I'm pausing after each scene and I'm describing it.

176

Thank you.

177

We can pause that there as well.

178

The woman looks at Tom Cruise and she stands up and he looks towards the seat, he grabs it.

179

And he, you can say throw.

180

He throws it into the window, but you want to find other verbs to describe throw.

181

I would have said he launches it through the window.

182

He launches it.

183

That's one way of saying it. And remember this too.

184

There's a time and place for everything.

185

There's a time and place to be very descriptive, use nuanced phrasal verbs and idioms, but then there's a time and place to be basic. Does that make sense?

186

So let's review.

187

What do we talk about today?

188

Well, we talked about English being a locomotion language that is obsessed with describing situations in actions,

189

verbs, the manner of the situation, and direction, whereas other languages are not like that.

190

For example, Spanish.

191

We saw the expert Luna Filipovic,

192

who's a linguist, talk about the differences between English and Spanish and how that even affects your memory,

193

which then affects the way you tell a story, right?

194

But that can change if you change your mentality and if you learn.

195

And we also learned that that's the reason why there are so many phrasal verbs in English.

196

and we also learned that a tip or a hack to doing this

197

and practicing this is going through a movie scene pausing after every scene

198

and finding enriched way to describe it you can do

199

that using a dictionary chat gpt

200

or google that's totally fine you can put the basic way on chat gpt

201

and tell it to give you a nuanced native way of saying

202

that same thing you repeat it

203

and obviously in my course you guys know you can put it into your vocab tracker right?

204

Well, my students, let me know what you thought about this lessons down below.

205

And in the next lesson, we're going to learn something else.

206

So I'll see you soon.

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。
