I decided to delete my Instagram.
0:00.14 0:01.90 (1.8s)
2
I would be on set working.
0:01.90 0:03.38 (1.5s)
3
I'd come and sit in my chair and just scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll.
0:03.38 0:06.00 (2.6s)
4
And it was becoming a problem.
0:06.00 0:08.70 (2.7s)
5
I was just obsessed with it and I was obsessed to find out what they thought about me.
0:08.70 0:12.20 (3.5s)
6
So I decided to make an announcement and say that I'm taking a break from social media.
0:12.20 0:16.48 (4.3s)
7
And the thing that really upset me is the press ran with that and they tried to make out that I was having this mental breakdown.
0:16.48 0:23.32 (6.8s)
8
They took the story in the wrong direction.
0:23.32 0:25.92 (2.6s)
9
Oh, look, he's not the perfect happy-go-lucky kid you think he is.
0:25.92 0:29.10 (3.2s)
10
he's having a nervous breakdown in New York, kind of painted people looking for help in the wrong light.
0:29.02 0:34.74 (5.7s)

17
Now let's get started with the lesson.
1:15.44 1:17.24 (1.8s)
18
First, you'll watch the clip, then you'll learn with it, and at the end, I'm going to let you test your comprehension by watching the entire clip a final time without any subtitles.
1:17.24 1:27.60 (10.4s)
19
I was in New York.
1:27.60 1:34.12 (6.5s)
20
I was shooting the crowded room and I was having a really hard time with the job just because of how taxing it was.
1:34.12 1:41.16 (7.0s)
21
And I decided to delete my Instagram because I just felt like I was so addicted to this kind of false version of my life that it was just taking over.
1:41.16 1:50.36 (9.2s)
22
I would be on set working.
1:50.36 1:52.06 (1.7s)
23
I'd come and sit in my chair and just scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll.
1:52.06 1:54.70 (2.6s)
24
And it was becoming a problem.
1:54.70 1:57.68 (3.0s)
25
I was just obsessed with it.
1:57.68 1:59.12 (1.4s)
26
And I was obsessed to find out what people were saying and how people, what they thought about me.
1:59.12 2:03.14 (4.0s)
27
So I decided to make an announcement and say that I'm taking a break from social media.
2:03.14 2:08.40 (5.3s)
28
And the thing that really upset me is the press ran with that.
2:08.40 2:11.54 (3.1s)
29
And they tried to make out that I was having this mental breakdown and what upset me was if i was having a mental breakdown that's not for you to report on all right now let's break down the clip and learn all the advanced vocabulary and pronunciation with tom holland i was in new york i was shooting the crowning crowded room in this context shooting means filming the crowded room we should mention here is a psychological thriller tv series where Tom is the protagonist.
2:11.54 2:45.04 (33.5s)
30
So he says he was having a hard time filming it, meaning he was struggling.
2:45.04 2:49.34 (4.3s)
31
It was a difficult moment for him.
2:49.34 2:51.00 (1.7s)
32
That's a nice casual location you can use too.
2:51.00 2:54.42 (3.4s)
33
They say it all the time.
2:54.42 2:55.80 (1.4s)
34
Check this out.
2:55.80 2:56.40 (0.6s)
35
Our family doesn't run from things Miles.
2:57.12 2:59.18 (2.1s)
36
Yeah, I know.
3:00.84 3:02.02 (1.2s)
37
What's that about?
3:06.34 3:07.10 (0.8s)
38
He's having a hard time, Jeff.
3:07.14 3:08.92 (1.8s)
39
And I was having a really hard time with the job just because of how taxing it was, the emotional...
3:09.34 3:14.18 (4.8s)
40
That's also what he meant by saying it was taxing.
3:14.56 3:17.14 (2.6s)
41
It was difficult, exhausting, and drained his energy.
3:17.38 3:20.42 (3.0s)
42
In Tom's case, playing this intense role in this series was emotionally taxing.
3:21.46 3:26.28 (4.8s)
43
I decided to delete my Instagram because I just felt like I was so addicted to this kind of false version of my life that it was just taking over.
3:26.94 3:34.44 (7.5s)
44
When something takes over, it takes control.
3:34.44 3:37.58 (3.1s)
45
Tom means Instagram was taking control of his life, of his thoughts and actions, and it was hard to focus on his job.
3:37.94 3:43.98 (6.0s)
46
See how he describes what he would do?
3:43.98 3:45.80 (1.8s)
47
I would be on set working, I'd come and sit in my chair and just scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, and it was...
3:46.12 3:50.44 (4.3s)
48
This action is called scrolling.
3:50.44 3:52.98 (2.5s)
49
It's a common expression nowadays, but you should know this particular use of the verb to scroll already existed before smartphones, since we also scroll on a computer using a mouse.
3:52.98 4:03.10 (10.1s)
50
Another expression that people use these days to refer to this specific negative experience of scroll scroll scroll when using Instagram or TikTok is doom scrolling.
4:03.10 4:14.38 (11.3s)
51
I was just obsessed with it and I was obsessed to find out what people were saying and how people what they thought about me.
4:14.68 4:20.26 (5.6s)
52
Did you notice how Tom pronounces the words that end with a T sound?
4:20.26 4:23.38 (3.1s)
53
Let's give a listen to this part again, but more slowly.
4:23.92 4:26.44 (2.5s)
54
And I was obsessed to find out what people were saying.
4:26.56 4:31.00 (4.4s)
55
All these words were pronounced with a stop T.
4:31.04 4:33.28 (2.2s)
56
Out, what, thought, about.
4:34.30 4:38.36 (4.1s)
57
Natives often do this.
4:38.98 4:40.28 (1.3s)
58
Now to do a stop T sound, you simply prepare to make a T sound, but then you stop the flow of air and make a short pause.
4:40.82 4:47.78 (7.0s)
59
Now try to repeat after me.
4:48.32 4:49.38 (1.1s)
60
Out, what, about.
4:50.08 4:52.86 (2.8s)
61
Now, what else can we find here that's more advanced pronunciation?
4:54.66 4:57.92 (3.3s)
62
Well, these phrases have some connected speech in them.
4:58.22 5:00.96 (2.7s)
63
That's when natives cut, link, and morph words together when they speak.
5:01.52 5:05.06 (3.5s)
64
The word obsessed ends with a T sound, obsessed.
5:05.92 5:09.42 (3.5s)
65
And because the next word starts with a T, they morph, obsessed.
5:09.98 5:14.14 (4.2s)
66
Not obsessed to, but obsessed to.
5:14.88 5:18.20 (3.3s)
67
And the D from find gets linked to the vowel sound from the next word.
5:18.98 5:22.66 (3.7s)
68
find out.
5:23.16 5:23.94 (0.8s)
69
Now let's try to repeat after Tom.
5:23.94 5:26.40 (2.5s)
70
And I was obsessed to find out what people were saying.
5:26.66 5:28.86 (2.2s)
71
And I was obsessed to find out what people were saying.
5:28.86 5:33.26 (4.4s)
72
And say like, I'm taking a break from social media because I feel like my mental health will benefit from it.
5:33.26 5:42.54 (9.3s)
73
And the thing that really upset me is the press ran with that.
5:42.54 5:45.88 (3.3s)
74
And they tried to make out that I was having this mental breakdown.
5:46.26 5:50.42 (4.2s)
75
To run with something is a collocation that means to take an idea and develop it further without hesitation.
5:50.76 5:55.96 (5.2s)
76
It can be used in both negative and positive contexts.
5:56.74 5:59.92 (3.2s)
77
For example, a more positive situation could be, she had a great idea for the project and the team ran with it, meaning they developed and expanded on the idea.
6:00.76 6:10.14 (9.4s)
78
In this case, Tom is saying that the press, that is magazines, newspapers, TV news, etc.
6:10.48 6:15.72 (5.2s)
79
they took this story, which was pretty straightforward, and they changed the narrative.
6:16.30 6:20.54 (4.2s)
80
And that's what he means by this line.
6:21.22 6:22.86 (1.6s)
81
In this context, to make out refers to creating a certain impression, or to pretend.
6:27.10 6:33.02 (5.9s)
82
For example, she's trying to make out that she's rich.
6:33.12 6:35.88 (2.8s)
83
So instead of focusing on the positive reason behind his decision, the press made it sound like he was having a mental breakdown.
6:36.86 6:43.40 (6.5s)
84
A point where a person gets so stressed because of their thoughts and emotions that they collapse.
6:43.90 6:49.10 (5.2s)
85
They stop functioning properly, like when a machine breaks down.
6:49.36 6:53.14 (3.8s)
86
And Tom was upset with the news because he was actually taking steps to avoid reaching that point of breakdown.
6:53.60 6:59.58 (6.0s)
87
And by the way, remember that you can practice all this vocabulary that you're seeing today on our own app.
7:00.46 7:05.82 (5.4s)
88
I highly recommend you try it.
7:06.18 7:07.68 (1.5s)
89
It's the best way for you to never forget all these words and expressions that you've been learning with these lessons.
7:07.70 7:12.74 (5.0s)
90
In fact, I find it even better to watch it from there, from the app, because you get a way more powerful experience.
7:13.34 7:18.92 (5.6s)
91
Just click the link in the description below to start now.
7:19.22 7:21.68 (2.5s)
92
You'll be taken directly to this lesson over there.
7:21.64 7:23.96 (2.3s)
93
Or you can simply search for Real Life English on Google Play or the App Store.
7:24.36 7:28.52 (4.2s)
94
And I hope to see you there.
7:28.80 7:29.80 (1.0s)
95
They took the story in the wrong direction and they painted again this negative light on mental health.
7:34.54 7:40.88 (6.3s)
96
Rather than saying, oh, he's doing it.
7:41.22 7:43.76 (2.5s)
97
It's okay that he's doing it.
7:43.12 7:45.38 (2.3s)
98
So we should all feel okay to do it too.
7:44.60 7:47.50 (2.9s)
99
They were saying, oh, look, he's not the perfect, happy-go-lucky kid you think he is.
7:46.60 7:51.60 (5.0s)
100
He's having a nervous breakdown in New York.
7:50.80 7:53.46 (2.7s)
101
And I think that that was a really unfair line of journalism, let's say.
7:53.00 7:58.64 (5.6s)
102
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
7:58.06 8:00.54 (2.5s)
103
It almost sounds like you were actually preemptively going i'm doing this so that i don't right go in that direction totally at least i'm not trying to put words in your mouth but absolutely it's almost like i'm proactively seeing that i could end up in a position where sure i might have a breakdown i don't want to be in that position and so i'm responsibly saying guys i'm taking a break right in order to protect myself.
7:59.72 8:23.56 (23.8s)
104
100%.
8:23.56 8:23.92 (0.4s)
105
Yeah, which makes a lot of sense and actually is quite admirable again.
8:23.92 8:26.66 (2.7s)

108
They took the story in the wrong direction and they painted again this negative light on mental health.
8:50.28 8:57.00 (6.7s)
109
To paint something negatively means to describe or show something in a bad way.
8:57.18 9:01.68 (4.5s)
110
It's very similar to try to make out something about a situation, to paint it a certain way.
9:02.16 9:07.54 (5.4s)
111
And he goes on to use yet another similar phrase.
9:08.08 9:10.78 (2.7s)
112
Check it out.
9:10.78 9:11.22 (0.4s)
113
They took the story in the wrong direction and they painted again this negative light on mental health.
9:11.40 9:17.74 (6.3s)
114
To show someone in a bad light, or negative light as he says, is exactly what he's talking about.
9:18.26 9:23.76 (5.5s)
115
And by the way, you may also hear the opposite phrase in a good light.
9:24.36 9:28.20 (3.8s)
116
They were saying, oh look, he's not the perfect happy-go-lucky kid you think he is.
9:28.46 9:32.82 (4.4s)
117
He's having a nervous breakdown in New York.
9:32.82 9:34.68 (1.9s)
118
And I think that that was a really unfair line of journalism.
9:35.22 9:39.42 (4.2s)
119
If you call someone happy-go-lucky, you mean they are not concerned about the future and just enjoy life without planning.
9:39.52 9:45.88 (6.4s)
120
Tom felt this way or method of doing journalism, or as he says, this line of journalism, was unfair.
9:47.14 9:54.68 (7.5s)
121
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
9:55.00 9:56.92 (1.9s)
122
It almost sounds like you were actually preemptively going, I'm doing this so that I don't go in that direction.
9:56.84 10:05.06 (8.2s)
123
If you act preemptively in a situation, you're thinking ahead and doing something in advance to avoid problems.
10:04.62 10:11.14 (6.5s)
124
For example, packing the night before a trip helps you avoid rushing things in the morning.
10:11.96 10:16.76 (4.8s)
125
You're acting preemptively.
10:17.18 10:18.38 (1.2s)
126
In case something unexpected happens, you have time to deal with it.
10:18.86 10:22.10 (3.2s)
127
In a strategic context, like in the military, a preemptive strike is an attack launched to prevent an expected attack from the enemy.
10:22.88 10:30.52 (7.6s)
128
motorbike i'll take you for a ride in it sometimes yeah yeah absolutely absolutely it almost sounds like you were actually preemptively going i'm doing this so that i don't right go in that direction totally at least i'm not trying to put words in your mouth but absolutely putting words in one's mouth refers to saying that someone means one thing when a person really meant something else imagine two people having an argument you could hear something like i didn't say this don't try to put words in my mouth.
10:41.20 11:10.72 (29.5s)
129
In this case, Jay Shetty is just being respectful, saying he knows Tom didn't say those words exactly, but that that's what he understands from Tom's story.
11:10.72 11:19.84 (9.1s)
130
Another word that we use to talk about taking action early is proactively.
11:31.86 11:36.80 (4.9s)
131
Like exercising regularly is a proactive way to maintain good health, instead of just waiting until you get sick to go to the doctor.
11:36.80 11:44.46 (7.7s)
132
It's almost like I'm proactively seeing that I could end up in a position where, sure, I might have a breakdown, I don't want to be in that position, and so I'm responsibly saying, guys, I'm taking a break, in order to protect myself.
11:43.48 11:55.92 (12.4s)
133
To end up means to eventually find yourself in a certain situation, often without planning it.
11:56.04 12:01.50 (5.5s)
134
For example, the movie we wanted to see was sold out, there were no tickets available, so we ended up seeing a different one.
12:02.04 12:08.38 (6.3s)
135
Alright, I know you've been waiting for this part, now we're gonna test your comprehension by watching the entire clip a final time without subtitles, and I'm gonna ask with some quiz questions.
12:08.38 12:19.06 (10.7s)
136
Let's do this.
12:19.06 12:19.88 (0.8s)
137
I was in New York.
12:25.66 12:26.60 (0.9s)
138
I was shooting the crowded room.
12:26.60 12:28.36 (1.8s)
139
And I was having a really hard time with the job just because of how taxing it was.
12:29.56 12:33.62 (4.1s)
140
Which word describes something that is physically or mentally difficult and exhausting?
12:34.44 12:38.66 (4.2s)
141
Shooting.
12:39.34 12:39.68 (0.3s)
142
Tasking.
12:40.66 12:41.68 (1.0s)
143
Taxing.
12:42.10 12:42.52 (0.4s)
144
I decided to delete my Instagram because I just felt like I was so addicted to this kind of false version of my life that it was just taking over.
12:51.80 12:59.12 (7.3s)
145
I would be on set working, I'd come and sit in my chair and just scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll.
12:59.12 13:03.72 (4.6s)
146
And it was becoming a problem.
13:03.72 13:06.76 (3.0s)
147
I was just obsessed with it and I was obsessed to find out what people were saying and how people, what they thought about me.
13:06.76 13:12.18 (5.4s)
148
So I decided to make an announcement and say that I'm taking a break from social media.
13:12.18 13:17.82 (5.6s)
149
And the thing that really upset me is the press ran with that.
13:17.82 13:20.64 (2.8s)
150
And they tried to make out that I was having this mental breakdown.
13:20.64 13:24.82 (4.2s)
151
And what upset me was, if I was having a mental breakdown, that's not for you to report on.
13:24.82 13:30.90 (6.1s)
152
What does the phrase run with it mean?
13:30.90 13:33.38 (2.5s)
153
To run as fast as possible.
13:33.38 13:36.16 (2.8s)
154
To accept an idea and develop it further.
13:36.16 13:39.46 (3.3s)
155
To ignore instructions and do your own thing.
13:39.46 13:42.18 (2.7s)
156
And they tried to make out that I was having this mental breakdown.
13:42.18 13:55.36 (13.2s)
157
And what upset me was, if I was having a mental breakdown, that's not for you to report on.
13:55.36 14:01.50 (6.1s)
158
They took the story in the wrong direction.
14:01.50 14:03.94 (2.4s)
159
And they tried, they painted again, this negative light on mental health, rather than saying, oh, he's doing it.
14:03.94 14:10.62 (6.7s)
160
It's okay that he's doing it.

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.

ShadowingEnglish에서 효과적으로 학습하는 방법

  1. 영상 선택: 자연스럽고 명확한 영어가 사용된 YouTube 영상을 선택하세요. TED Talks, BBC 뉴스, 영화 장면, 팟캐스트, IELTS 모범 답변 영상이 좋습니다. URL을 복사해서 검색창에 붙여넣으세요. 짧은 영상(5분 이내)과 실제로 관심 있는 주제부터 시작하는 것이 동기 유지에 효과적입니다.
  2. 먼저 듣고 내용 이해하기: 처음에는 1배속으로 그냥 듣기만 하세요. 아직 따라 말할 필요는 없습니다. 문장의 의미를 파악하고, 화자가 어떻게 단어를 강조하고, 소리를 연결하고, 쉬어 가는지 주목하세요. 내용을 이해한 후 쉐도잉 연습을 하면 효과가 훨씬 좋아집니다.
  3. 쉐도잉 모드 설정:
    • Wait Mode (대기 모드): +3s 또는 +5s를 선택하면 한 문장이 재생된 후 자동으로 잠시 멈춰서 따라 말할 시간을 줍니다. 직접 컨트롤하고 싶다면 Manual을 선택해서 Next를 눌러 진행하세요.
    • Sub Sync (자막 동기화): YouTube 자막이 오디오와 맞지 않을 수 있습니다. ±100ms로 조정해서 정확한 타이밍에 따라갈 수 있도록 맞추세요.
  4. 소리 내어 쉐도잉하기 (핵심 연습): 이것이 연습의 핵심입니다. 문장이 재생되는 순간——또는 일시정지 중에——크고 자신감 있게 소리 내어 따라 하세요. 단순히 단어를 읽는 것이 아니라, 화자의 리듬, 강세, 음의 높낮이, 연음 방식을 그대로 흉내 내는 것이 중요합니다. 목표는 화자의 '그림자'처럼 들리는 것입니다. Repeat 기능으로 같은 문장을 여러 번 반복해서 자연스럽게 입에 붙을 때까지 연습하세요.
  5. 난이도 높이며 꾸준히 연습: 한 구절이 편해지면 더 도전적인 수준으로 올리세요. 속도를 <code>1.25x</code> 또는 <code>1.5x</code>로 높여 빠른 언어 반사 신경을 훈련하세요. Wait Mode를 <code>Off</code>로 설정해서 연속 쉐도잉을 하는 것이 가장 고급스럽고 효과적인 모드입니다. 매일 15~30분씩 꾸준히 연습하면 몇 주 안에 눈에 띄는 변화를 느낄 수 있습니다.
