For the last five months, I've been fully transforming my room into my dream New York City apartment.

Going for a totally new and improved vibe.

At least that's what I'm thinking.

Because about every six months, I do a little room rearrange.

Just switching things around and making my room kind of feel new.

To kind of give me that feeling again of first moving into a new place and being excited.

But after three years of doing this with the same stuff, I decided let's just sell everything and start from scratch.

Okay, before I just show you guys my new and improved dream room, let me catch you guys up to speed.

My name is Luke, I live here in New York City and honestly, my dream apartment.

We live in a three bedroom modern style apartment with big windows, a lot of natural lights, a pretty cool view of New York City.

I have two roommates and we've lived here for about three years.

Before this, I lived in a New York City basement, which was honestly such a cool and unique place to live.

First time I fully tried to deck out my room.

I don't even know what I was doing.

I put down like, perf on the ground.

Definitely made a mistake when I had to leave.

It ripped up the whole paint on the ground.

I randomly drilled like, wood into the walls.

I had these like, pink and white kids mats.

I don't even know.

What I got from that is I just enjoy decorating or just like, transforming spaces.

So after a year of living there, I moved into this apartment, which I currently live in.

See!

Welcome to the new apartment.

And it's totally the opposite.

Big windows, a lot of natural lights, which I now appreciate and would rather have than the dungeon.

Cause sometimes people will be like, are you depressed in there?

Like it's so dark in there.

When I first moved into this apartment, I really wanted to decorate it, try to make it the best I could.

I don't know what this aesthetic or whatever is called, but I've been living in it and enjoying it for the past three years.

But now I feel like I want to change it up.

So I put together this mood board, more black, kind of like that industrial modern.

And overall, like my goal is just to minimize,

simplify everything because I feel like my room always gets so messy and so many little places to put cords and stuff.

So I want to keep it minimal and like hide everything and just make it like clean.

So that is the goal, which leads me to step number one.

We got to get rid of some stuff.

The old blueprint.

This was Luke's new room, but is now old.

I think it's time for this guy to go.

We've had a good run.

We're changing up the rug, and I think it's needed.

It's pretty dirty now.

It's been three years used to...

We are taking down the infamous grass wall.

It's time to go.

And these wooden things.

These also have stood strong and have not come off yet, even though they're kind of sketchy.

But we're taking them out.

The grass wall is pretty cool.

I think I'm just over it for having it for so long.

These were cool though.

I've never seen these or like I couldn't buy them online

so I just got like this wood and just screwed it in and then just twisted it into the wall.

Oh, okay.

Forgot this stuff over here.

Kinda ugly.

I might gotta fix that.

It looks so white and bare.

All right, we're getting rid of this desk set up a lot of space in this room.

I feel like I don't even sand.

I don't even use that.

It's just big.

All right, we just found this table on Facebook Marketplace.

Looks pretty sick.

It's kind of like a modern, slightly retro.

I think it'll work really well.

I'm not sure if this is a duke.

I tried to Google search it.

A thousand dollars for the original.

I don't know if this is the original, but they use the same photos.

This is where I'm imagining the table.

That's kind of it.

Next thing you know, we made it to Brooklyn.

In the snow.

Apparently this is the house.

I don't know how I'm gonna get it into an Uber.

Somehow we got this heavy glass table into the Uber.

But on my way back to Manhattan, the table was shaking like crazy.

Not gonna lie, I was kinda scared, cause it's glass.

But eventually, we made it.

Alright, we made it in the elevator.

Hopefully I didn't scuff it, I think it's fine.

Probably the worst day to carry something like this.

Oh, this is so heavy.

I feel like I have a lot of dust back there.

What do they think?

I wanna say it's pretty nice.

Like I definitely go for that minimal feel.

As I was taking down these storage shelves, I realized I never really used it for storage.

It's kind of more just clutter.

So I needed something a little better.

Kind of like this guy.

Come with me.

This is the inspo.

Shout out Kelly.

He's not home right now.

He's got one.

But look, he's got all his camera gear like really nicely done everywhere.

100

As we saw my room before, it needs some help.

101

So let's unbox and build this thing.

102

Okay guys.

103

YAAAGH!

104

Sheeeey!

105

That's a nice and we like- OOOOOOOH!

106

OOOOOOOH!

107

Room is in progress.

108

We're doing good.

109

I think it's finally time that I get a new phone.

110

This is my iPhone 13.

111

It is cracked.

112

It is Spider-Man edition.

113

I've had this since like 2021.

114

I think we're gonna upgrade.

115

So I went to the Apple store, picked up a new phone.

116

With this brand new phone, I'm like, definitely should get a case.

117

So my friends at Burgas said they got me.

118

They just sent me a bunch of goodies and actually got to pick up some custom cases from their men's line.

119

Ooh, this is kind of no pressure vibes.

120

And we're going green.

121

A little more simple, not too crazy, but still cool.

122

I feel like I have like three requirements when I'm binding a case.

123

One, it looks cool.

124

Two, I don't like when the cases are like too bulky.

125

And then another main one is that sometimes a screen sticks out, which this one doesn't.

126

The camera isn't sticking out.

127

So if it falls, it's not gonna crack.

128

So I feel like now if I drop, we're good.

129

They also sent me a computer case.

130

I honestly didn't even think of ever really getting, which I should.

131

I feel like I'm such a clumsy person that I need everything I could get.

132

And they do a lot of cool like art collabs.

133

They also have other cool accessories.

134

If I'm like filming something, this always could come in handy.

135

So huge shout out to Berga for hooking it up

136

and for sponsoring this video and just honestly helping this room video come to life.

137

I feel like I've been wanting to do this for a while.

138

They're down to be like, yeah, get you right with your new phone.

139

You guys can actually use my code, LukeX15.

140

I'll put a QR code right here too, or you can check the link in the description.

141

You can get 15% off.

142

They're doing a deal too.

143

If you buy two phone cases, you could get two for free.

144

So pretty good deal.

145

Shout out, Virga, for helping your boy out.

146

Got my helper right here.

147

I'm trying to help him design it, but he doesn't want my help.

148

My girlfriend, Kyla, was in town, and I do actually think she has pretty good taste.

149

She was helping me out a little, and we're going out for some inspiration.

150

And after almost missing the train, Oh my god!

151

Oh my god!

152

Kyla getting scared by the New York City bush guy.

153

Oh my god!

154

Oh my god!

155

We made it to a store called Buck Mason, which I actually think is a clothing brand.

156

But the store has some pretty cool interior design and some good inspo for at least what I'm going for.

157

Some cool lighting, different kind of seating areas.

158

And overall I think my biggest takeaway is the different textures and materials they have, which I feel like gives it more character rather than kind of just a blank room, Which is kind of what I got right now.

159

I feel like I'm moving out.

160

The walls are empty.

161

Everything is empty.

162

Husky is looking nice.

163

Sold a lot of stuff.

164

The grass wall is gone.

165

A lot of stuff is gone.

166

Let me explain the vision.

167

So everything is white in here.

168

So I wanted to add some type of like wood.

169

I feel like I really like wood.

170

So my idea, and I've seen videos, and I'll put it on the screen, to make some type of wood paneling here

171

and just give it a little more character and a little more life rather than some white walls.

172

So I think that's gonna be our project for tonight and maybe tomorrow.

173

Another old depot run.

174

Look at all this stuff I got.

175

Somehow we got the wood.

176

I always feel like I want to bring wood into my apartment.

177

No one is home right now.

178

My room is too small, so I can't really fit it in there.

179

Today we're gonna be trying dark walnuts.

180

I've never done this.

181

I'm curious how it's gonna turn out, but let's just try it.

182

I've never stayed in wood before.

183

I'm totally gonna mess it up.

184

So I really didn't know what I was doing.

185

Oh, I don't know.

186

I'm not really sure if I did that right.

187

It's not great, it's not the worst.

188

Probably need to do multiple coats.

189

So after watching a couple more YouTube videos, I decided to keep going and just trust the process.

190

I definitely should have got a mask.

191

Oh, I ain't had to take it.

192

Good thing everyone's gone.

193

I moved everything around.

194

I don't know.

195

On camera it doesn't look bad, I don't think.

196

Also, it's like dark so you can't really see.

197

I think we gotta do one more coat.

198

Hopefully it'll dry, but it kind of smells in here.

199

It's the next day, and to my surprise, it's actually looking pretty good.

200

I guess we came home.

201

Hey guys, I leave for one week and Luke just decides I'm moving out.

202

I thought you were moving out at first, I was like, oh I guess Luke's moving.

203

This is what happens when your roommates leave and I'm just like, I'm kind of bored, seeing things up.

204

I have these like light poles that I use, they're called very poles, but usually they go up and down, but I'm using it to mount so it holds in place while I nail.

205

It's honestly working pretty good.

206

I got two panels up right now.

207

Can't reach much higher now You better leave it You can look at the clouds fly by Come on and rest

208

Kind of looks good.

209

Let's see.

210

We'll just keep it there for now.

211

Alright, this one I thought I did enough staining.

212

I had to do more.

213

Damn, boy!

214

Boy is cooked!

215

Look, he's staining wood every single day.

216

Spend so much time.

217

I think they will look good.

218

And I'm using these bowls.

219

Look at my frickin' bed!

220

And this is falling up.

221

After two weeks of doing this.

222

So much staining, so much cutting.

223

It's finally done.

224

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE You have to work on this for like so long.

225

Yeah.

226

But it looks good dude.

227

Was it worth it?

228

I don't know if it's- I mean...

229

You doing this in a rental property is great.

230

We got this new like acrylic board.

231

Plan is to put it right there.

232

It's gonna be like the no pressure hub workstation.

233

I don't know.

234

This is what I call the tape method.

235

I don't know where I saw this.

236

Maybe on TikTok or something?

237

I don't know.

238

We mark the holes.

239

We got three holes where I'm supposed to drill.

240

The holes should line up.

241

Nice.

242

Now we drill and hope for the best.

243

Alright, now look.

244

You remove the tape.

245

Perfect alignment.

246

Okay.

247

Oh no. It's a little off.

248

Alright, this was the vision, that's the execution.

249

Lola and Shirley coming along.

250

The only thing I'm worried about is at night I'm sleeping and this just slams down.

251

Honestly, I think it should be good.

252

It's in there pretty good.

253

Okay, we're at IKEA and I brought a special guest.

254

My little brother.

255

My girlfriend Kyla was back in town

256

and we made a quick trip to IKEA because I needed to pick up a rug.

257

Hey, you got the meatballs?

258

We got the big old rug.

259

Somehow we made it back to the city.

260

Gotta get this bad boy home in the room.

261

This is what sucks about New York is that you don't get a car.

262

Whatever you can carry, that's what you get.

263

When we got home, we started setting up the rug, but I wasn't too sure if I liked it.

264

Oh, that looks so good!

265

Wait, that's so cute!

266

I think Kazi had to hide it up because I'd be like, what the...

267

Oh!

268

That's not what I super envisioned.

269

Isn't that kind of cute?

270

That looks really cool, you can't lie.

271

Wait, come here.

272

I'll rock with a dick.

273

Whoa, what?

274

Okay, we're in a tough spot.

275

I'm not sure.

276

I don't think it looks bad.

277

That's what it's giving like cowboy-y.

278

I think it's too cowboy-y to be in New York, maybe.

279

You know, it's like, oh, this is my cow again.

280

Honestly, after spending like over $400 on these rugs, the room was not really what I was envisioning, and I wasn't really sure where to go from here.

281

But you know what they say, no pressure.

282

Just keep going.

283

And the more I hung up, it was actually starting to look pretty good.

284

Alright, working on this part of the room.

285

These are two shelves from Ikea.

286

I think they're going to be pretty cool.

287

So it's a building.

288

It's a building.

289

It's a building.

290

It's a building.

291

We're going for a steel color to match the husky and just have hints of silver.

292

It gets too cluttered.

293

Then I could only open the door and go there.

294

Not the worst, but I just want to put some stuff on there.

295

Then I feel like it'll look better.

296

More accessories.

297

More stuff.

298

Whoa.

299

So it's actually for a plant, but my idea is to hang it right here and put stuff in it.

300

A hundred dollars worth?

301

Damn, that's a hundred dollars?

302

That's what I'm saying.

303

You got scams!

304

Even with the huskiness?

305

Stay alive.

306

Uh, uh, uh.

307

Alright.

308

We hung it up.

309

I'm not sure.

310

I got blue bed sheets because I just had white before but I was like, it's kind of cool to spice it up.

311

I was just putting them on.

312

I feel like I got to make it look nicer.

313

I don't know.

314

It's just taking so long to do this room, but it's still fun.

315

Okay, I'm not rocking with these blue bed sheets.

316

They kind of remind me of a hospital bed.

317

And to make it even worse, my command strip job did not do very good.

318

This is the video that my roommate Ari sent me of my shelf falling on my husky desk.

319

This room transformation is taking over your boy's life.

320

I'm not the loser of all Dreaming Can't get no sleep at all At all

321

At all Need it More sleep We got more stuff

322

It's never ending.

323

We got some lights.

324

Hopefully this will make it like the mood better.

325

All right, finally, I swear this has been like six months in the making.

326

It was literally snowing out in some of these clips.

327

I don't know why this took so long.

328

The room is finally at a state where I'm like, I'm pretty hyped how it turned out.

329

This wall I feel like turned out pretty good.

330

The silver IKEA shelves and then I kind of just put random stuff that I had, try to keep it neat and organized and then shout out Brennan.

331

He literally just made this painting.

332

I had all these up there and then I just thought it was like too much.

333

Then we go over here This is a no pressure creative studio.

334

New chair, new desk, monitor setup, the acrylic board I feel like this section actually turned out pretty good

335

and then I have these things they're called varipoles

336

But then I was able to put this light up rather than having a tripod

337

and it's hooked my oh That is really bright.

338

So if I'm filming here, that looks good.

339

No light, light, you know working with it And then we'll move on to the bed area.

340

Ikea donut lamp.

341

I tried to put all these cord organizers in.

342

It kind of took a while, but I think it looks better than just a cord.

343

And I had those blue sheets.

344

Those were honestly really ugly, and it looked like a hospital bed.

345

Returned those so quick.

346

Didn't realize sheets are literally $300.

347

Even this painting I got was pretty expensive.

348

This area, I'm like, hmm.

349

Can't really see the shell thing over here.

350

I think it still turned out cool.

351

And then I have the projector hooked up.

352

I don't know what's playing right now.

353

Michael Jackson.

354

Had to keep the togo and then I actually picked up these speakers

355

that I gotta figure out how to wire It just looks cool

356

and then I could just pretend that I play the guitar I always forget

357

because I did the wood paneling so long ago

358

But I'm actually really excited how the wood paneling turned out even added like this lighting on top

359

Which I feel like definitely helps the mood All these little lights I control it on the app.

360

This is no lighting But

361

when you just add a teeny bit of mood lighting looks nice And even if you want to go orange, if you're really trying to work.

362

But I feel like I kind of like the orangish tone.

363

This fell on my husky desk and if you look really close, it really chipped it up.

364

It's okay.

365

So I had to drill that in.

366

Silver lighting theme.

367

I was trying to go silver, black, industrial, modern.

368

And then the tool chest.

369

That's not super organized.

370

I feel like this took so long to do.

371

But honestly, it was a fun project.

372

I'm excited how it turned out.

373

I'm not sure how much longer we're gonna be living here, but for the time being, it's hype.

この動画で話す練習をする理由

ニューヨークの部屋をリノベーションする話題は、日常的な会話によく出る「生活空間」「変化」「目標」などのテーマに関連しています。話者のルークは自然な口調で自身の経験を語り、感情や思考過程を表現するので、shadowing practiceに最適です。動画で英語学習をすることで、リラックスした雰囲気の中で実用的な表現を身につけ、会話の流れを理解できます。特に、「物を整理する」「イメージを変える」といった具体的な行動を説明する際の語彙や文法が豊富で、日常生活での会話力向上に直結します。

文脈の中の文法と表現

「I've been fully transforming...」：現在完了進行形を使って、長期間続けている行動を表しています。「～している最中で、まだ続いている」というニュアンスがあり、変化の過程を強調します。
「let's just sell everything and start from scratch」：「let's」で提案をし、「start from scratch」は「ゼロから始める」というイディオムです。日常会話で計画を話す際によく使われ、自然な表現を覚えることができます。
「which I now appreciate and would rather have than the dungeon」：「would rather... than...」で「～よりもむしろ～したい」という選好を表します。比較をする際の文法構造で、感情を込めて意見を述べるのに便利です。

発音の注意点

英語の発音を良くするために、動画内のいくつかの単語やアクセントに注意が必要です。「transforming」の「t」は弱化して発音されることが多く、「transfor(m)ing」のように聞こえます。「industrial」のアクセントは最初の音节にあり、「インダストリアル」ではなく「インダストリアル」と発音します。また、「minimize」の「i」は短く発音し、「ミニマイズ」ではなく「ミニマイズ」と正確に発音することが重要です。これらの発音をshadow speechで練習することで、より自然な話し方に近づけます。

shadowing siteを利用して、動画の音声を聞きながら即座に繰り返す練習をすると、リズムやイントネーションを身につけることができます。ぜひこの動画を使って、実践的な英語学習を楽しんでください。

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。
