쉐도잉 연습: figuring out my 20s: adjusting to adulthood - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
I feel like nobody talks about what your 20s are actually like.
2
They're a lot harder than it looks.
3
I feel like I'm always second guessing my career.
4
I'm still trying to make new friends in my 20s, which is hard.
5
Moving to a new city alone post-grad, I decided I just want to start documenting it and kind of figuring it out as I go.
6
I don't want this to be deep.
7
I just want it to be honest and this is me just figuring out my 20s except I'm filming it.
8
Starting off strong, the daily routine we already know by now.
9
I go to coffee shops to work because I need to get out of my apartment at least once a day.
10
I don't know what this says about me but I significantly more productive
11
when i leave
12
and i also just feel honestly a little bit less lonely being around other people even
13
if i'm not interacting with them and it's almost like i have co-workers this way
14
because i'm you know i work by myself a lot i guess co-workers might be a stretch
15
but you know what i'm saying never in my life have
16
i had strawberry tea i think i'm going to be getting
17
it often i didn't even know this existed i don't know
18
if i'm like the only one my new fixation is going to be this so
19
one of the stranger things for me the stranger things i'm
20
not talking about the show i have to like schedule almost
21
my calls now with my friends with my like mom my brother as i get older everyone's like
22
so busy and i still want to make time for the people
23
that i love
24
but i feel like i don't call people on a whim
25
as much anymore i like have to like really be intentional
26
about it enough to say i'm calling my mom on her lunch break at work just to say hi
27
because i miss her hi work on planning the trip a little bit tonight
28
i absolutely dread cleaning out my closet i hate it i
29
hate it i think i just like hate making decisions i'm
30
so indecisive i feel like i can't let go of these clothes even
31
if i haven't worn something for six months i feel some sort of deep attachment to it
32
and i can't get rid of it i really i'm starting to think i should unpack
33
that at a later time i try to do like mini
34
little resets of my closet every couple months versus once a
35
year doing a whole clean out i think it's like a lot easier
36
that way being in my 20s truly is just full of mini resets i'm constantly resetting something
37
I actually found this organization that comes and picks up my donations for me.
38
I usually do it like once a month so it's been really helpful
39
and kind of just like makes me more motivated to get rid of stuff.
40
I know this doesn't look that drastic but I have two piles.
41
This one is a pile of stuff that I need to get hemmed.
42
Unfortunately all of my pants need to get hemmed.
43
If you guys have any like short girl pants brands very niche let me know because this is always my issue.
44
And then this pile is stuff that I'm donating.
45
I already feel like 30 times better after that.
46
My mind feels like so much clearer.
47
I am gonna get ready though because I'm gonna go to a little soul cycle class.
48
I do need to make some dinner prior
49
but I've been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone a little bit with my workouts.
50
Specifically I'm trying to go to like new or just different workout classes than I usually do.
51
Honestly a lot of it I think for me is social.
52
I find that I meet new people at classes.
53
I like make new friends.
54
Well honestly actually I never really make friends but that's the point.
55
That's what I'm trying to do.
56
Not even friends I guess.
57
I'm just trying to like socialize a little bit more.
58
I haven't gone to SoulCycle in I think like over two years.
59
It's been so long.
60
So I'm prompt to sign up for a class 20 minutes ago for later tonight.
61
So I'm just gonna chill for a bit and then I think start dinner soon.
62
I have a special delivery.
63
I'm making dinner for my boyfriend and I.
64
It's kind of become like our little routine.
65
He'll come over after work.
66
I make our Green Chef meal.
67
I'm really excited to be working with Green Chef again.
68
They take care of grocery shopping the meal prep all of the like dirty work
69
that i don't like
70
and i just have to put it together one of my favorite things is

73

83
Let's get to work.
84
It smells good.
85
All right, it is time to make the sauce now.
86
This may be wrong of me, but I was so excited to try this that I didn't wait for him.
87
I just tried a little bit while I was waiting for him to come home from work, and it was so good.
88
Dinner is ready.
89
I served it up.
90
This is so good, guys.
91
He doesn't even know the best meal he's about to have is this.
92
Safe to say we did both love it.
93
And we had just such a great little date night together.
94
I just said a whole like two-minute spiel and I realized I didn't even press record.
95
So here I go again.
96
I'm on my way to a SoulCycle class.
97
I cannot remember the last time I was in a SoulCycle class.
98
And I kind of forget how to like strap in and like do the whole like getting yourself in the bike situation.
99
A little nervous about that.
100
But you know what?
101
I'm just going to ask for help.
102
Whenever I just try to do things on my own, it's just like why don't I ask for help? humility is
103
a strength okay wow i'm inspiring right now i tried to ask a couple of my friends
104
if they could go with me but because it was
105
so last minute none of them could and that's all right you know
106
that is okay i think it's good to do things alone
107
i've discovered soul cycle classes are one of the harder places
108
to film i can't really just like like whip up my phone in the middle of a cycling class.
109
I feel very out of shape actually reflecting on this.
110
So my butt is sore.
111
I forgot that that happens when you sit on a bike after not having sat on a bike in a while.
112
So something about SoulCycle I love.
113
I actually missed it so much and I think I wanna go back more.
114
I usually try to go to classes with like artists or playlists that I like.
115
This time, I just kind of signed up super last minute.
116
So I went to a random one.
117
So this one ended up being 2000s Throwbacks.
118
And it kind of just reminded me of all the songs that I heard in Applebee's when I was a child.
119
There is such thing as Applebee's music, okay?
120
I don't know how to explain it.
121
I don't know if anyone relates.
122
But there are certain songs like Since You've Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson.
123
Perfect example.
124
It's an Applebee's song.
125
And it always will be an Applebee's song.
126
Love that song.
127
I really do.
128
Anyways, I think I'm back on my SoulCycle journey.
129
So you guys will probably be seeing
130
that in my upcoming vlogs I'm already looking at the new schedule
131
and trying to see the classes coming up tate mcrae I'm
132
getting ready to go to an art cafe with my roommate
133
and friend olivia finding activities that you can do with your friends Are just sometimes like
134
so much more fun than just going out to get food all the time You kind of just like go there.
135
It's almost like a restaurant But like you order on the menu the type of art
136
that you want to make it's been a while since i've been there So i'm really excited.
137
I love a little girls night and I feel so refreshed and I feel so good after my little workout so so
138
the art cafe was i would say it's a success for me i was happy with my little cards
139
and you know one of my like love languages now i've realized is gift giving
140
so i thought why not like make some personalized cards for my friends for their birthdays
141
and stuff are they like picasso level no
142
no and you know what they never will be even
143
if you don't have a type of cafe like this near you
144
because like growing up in minnesota for me there's not stuff
145
like this close by you can like organize stuff like this
146
with your friends like go out get this stuff for it
147
you don't really need to go somewhere expensive i am going to upgrade my microphone soon it's a pending project my
148
my team is working on it my team is myself it is overdue for a little advice segment on here
149
so i thought i would read a dm you guys know i do this anonymously i'm 25
150
and i feel like i chose the wrong career path everyone around me seems
151
so confident and i feel stuck how did you know what you wanted to do there is
152
so much pressure in our 20s
153
and late teens to know exactly what we're going to do and expectations
154
that like for some reason we're going to know exactly what we want to do by the time we graduate
155
and that is not realistic.
156
I don't think your 20s are about choosing perfectly right away.
157
I think it's about trying things and testing things and seeing kind of what you like.
158
You're allowed to pivot.
159
You're allowed to change your mind.
160
You're allowed to try different things and like outgrow maybe a career
161
that you once thought you wanted after trying it for a little bit.
162
And I think trying something even if you learn that you don't like it that
163
is a success because then you learn something about yourself
164
and you learn what you like and what you're good at
165
or maybe what you don't like and what you're not good at and any information I think is valuable.
166
For me, I know some of you might think
167
that I never have questioned my career and that this just fell into my lap.
168
Obviously, I feel so grateful.
169
I can't even begin to explain but there's a lot of times especially after I graduated college where I questioned, you know, is this something I want to still do?
170
Am I gonna burn out?
171
Like I've been doing this for 10 years.
172
Is this like the right career path for me still?
173
I still question myself honestly all the time Everyone seems
174
so successful nowadays and with social media especially it just seems like everybody's doing
175
so well For me college
176
and like learning about different areas Drew me to a lot of different things
177
that I might potentially want to do in the future
178
But for now I really enjoy what i'm doing and i'm so happy Yeah, just try not to put too much pressure on yourself and try things.
179
That's my best advice
180
anyways i love you guys i'm gonna go to sleep i'm
181
falling asleep i think as i'm saying this thanks for watching and i'll see you in my next video bye

이 비디오로 스피킹 연습하는 이유

20대의 일상 이야기는 영어 회화에서 정말 자주 나오는 주제입니다. 이 비디오는 "어른이 되는 것"에 대한 솔직한 감정과 작은 일상 루틴을 다루고 있어, 유튜브 영어 공부를 하며 실생활에서 쓸 수 있는 표현을 배우기에 최적입니다. 특히 shadow speech (쉐도우 스피킹) 연습에 좋은데, 화자의 자연스러운 말투와 억양을 따라하면서 실제 대화에서의 리듬을 익힐 수 있습니다. 20대의 고민, 일상적인 계획, 감정 표현 등을 다루고 있어 IELTS 스피킹 준비에도 도움이 될 것입니다.

문맥 속 문법과 표현

  • "I feel like nobody talks about...": "~인 것 같아"라는 뜻으로, 자신의 감정이나 의견을 부드럽게 표현할 때 자주 사용됩니다. 이 표현을 사용하면 회화가 더 자연스러워집니다.
  • "I'm still trying to make new friends...": "아직도 ~하려고 노력하고 있어"는 현재 진행형을 사용해 지속적인 행동을 강조합니다. 일상에서 자신의 상황을 설명할 때 유용합니다.
  • "It's been really helpful...": "정말 도움이 됐어"는 현재 완료형으로, 지금까지의 경험을 나타냅니다. 무언가에 대한 평가를 할 때 자주 쓰입니다.

발음의 함정

이 비디오에서 주의해야 할 발음이 몇 가지 있습니다. "hemmed"는 [헴드]가 아니라 [헴트]로 발음하는 경우가 많아요. 또한 "indecisive"는 [인디사이시브]가 아니라 [인디사이비브]로 발음해야 합니다. shadowspeaks 연습을 할 때는 화자의 발음을 정확히 따라가면서 이런 세부 사항을 주의해야 합니다. 특히 "strawberry tea"에서 "strawberry"의 [스트로베리] 발음이 빠르게 연결되기 때문에, 리듬을 잘 따라가는 것이 중요합니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
