Hello everyone and welcome back to English Cozy Chat,
2
a slow English podcast which helps you to learn English in a fun and natural way.
3
I am Maria and you guys, I feel so happy right now.
4
I feel so fulfilled because I just came back from a girl's weekend.
5
So I haven't actually gone away on a girl's weekend with my friends here in Spain for about five years.
6
I usually am always at home with my kids and my family.
7
So this was a really big deal that I went away for the weekend.
8
I have many other friends that are in the same situation as me.
9
We are moms and we rarely go away from our kids because all of our kids are still small.
10
So one of my friends
11
proposed to propose something means to give an idea of something
12
and she said hey why don't we all have a weekend getaway just for ourselves
13
and at first I was like oh that's kind of hard for me to do
14
not just because I would have to organize the weekend here with my family with me not being here
15
but also emotionally being away from my kids but we started planning it and I started getting really excited.
16
So one of my friends has an apartment at a beach town
17
which is about one hour from where we live and she invited us to come to her apartment.
18
It was myself and three of my friends.
19
So since we had a nice place to go that was so close and also free for us,
20
we decided it was a perfect place to go for a getaway.
21
And a getaway is when you
22
go away for maybe just a short trip
23
and it kind of means to escape or to just go away from your normal life just for a little bit.
24
So this girls weekend was definitely a getaway.
25
We left on Saturday morning and we drove there.
26
First, we left all of our things in my friend's apartment,
27
and then we walked to lunch.
28
We went to a nice restaurant, which is known for its seafood.
29
There is lots of seafood
30
restaurants in that area considering it is by the sea and we just had a really nice lunch together.
31
Usually all of us are surrounded by our kids and that makes it hard to have real
32
conversations.
33
So it was really nice just being together and having lots of time to talk.
34
At this lunch we got paella which is a typical dish in Spain which is rice with lots of spices
35
and seafood and shellfish in it.
36
It is really delicious and this one was very good that we had.
37
Now close to that restaurant was a really good place to do a little hike.
38
So there are hiking
39
trails which are along a mountain nearby which is right next to the sea
40
and there was such beautiful views from this hike and we saw many coves.
41
Coves are small beaches which are kind of in a u-shape and these were very small and absolutely beautiful that we saw.
42
There were some which were next to the mountains and really beautiful rocks.
43
The water was crystal clear.
44
Crystal clear means completely clear and it looked really beautiful and blue and green.
45
And some of the views were just breathtaking.
46
Breathtaking means it takes your breath away.
47
You know that feeling when you see something and you're like,
48
get it? the views were breathtaking because it took our breath away.
49
The only thing that I regret about this little hike is
50
that I didn't have my bathing suit with me
51
because I would have really liked to have gotten in the water because the water looked so inviting.
52
It looked so nice and refreshing
53
but none of us had our bathing suits with us so we just hiked along the trail and
54
enjoyed the views.
55
We also sat on a beach for a little while
56
and just relaxed and looked at the sea and just really enjoyed this moment of being together.
57
So after our hike we went back to my friend's apartment and we planned dinner.
58
We decided to cook dinner at her apartment.
59
So first we planned all of the
60
we needed to buy and two of my friends went to the grocery store to buy everything.
61
While they were gone my other friend and I stayed at the apartment and cleaned up and also decorated.
62
decorated means we put decorations up
63
because it was one of my friend's birthdays one of them
64
that had gone to the grocery store so
65
when they came back we had a surprise of the decorations that we had put up for her birthday.
66
She was really surprised when they came in and it just made the whole situation really fun.
67
For dinner, we made roasted chicken and potatoes along with some
68
carrots that had a yogurt feta sauce that my friend made which was delicious and a salad.
69
It was all so good and really fun to make together.
70
I love to cook and I even more like cooking with other people and friends.
71
So this experience of cooking with my friends was really nice and we don't usually do that when we are at home.
72
So it was very special.
73
Before we ate dinner We also had a nice little appetizer of some olives and nuts and things like that.
74
And we really just took our time with dinner and just being together.
75
Many times I like eating meals at home or in a house more than at a restaurant
76
because I just feel like they're more cozy.
77
For dessert, one of my friends made a chocolate cake for my friend's birthday
78
and it was so delicious and a surprise for my friend.
79
This friend makes really good cakes and she makes them a lot.
80
So every time that she makes a cake, I know it is going to be delicious.
81
Now after dinner, we sat there and just talked for probably two more hours
82
And it was really interesting because some of us told stories that the others had never heard before.
83
We told stories of our past, how we grew up.
84
Keep in mind that these friends,
85
we've only been friends for about five years at the most.
86
And so we have had a lot of life before meeting each other,
87
which was really interesting to share with each other.
88
So we talked about all kinds of things.
89
Our past, the way we grew up, old boyfriends that we had, how we met our husbands,
90
and also some other really personal experiences.
91
And this was really nice and really moving and emotional in some ways.
92
Sometimes sharing personal stories with friends can be very moving and really emotional.
93
and it's really nice sometimes to just do that
94
because it's not something maybe that you're thinking about every day
95
but some big important stories you hold inside of you and sometimes it's just good to let those out.
96
So this night was really nice and powerful for all of us.
97
We went to bed really late that night at about 12 30 a.m and the next morning we woke up,
98
made a nice breakfast of eggs and fruit and yogurt and coffee, of course.
99
And then we went on another short hike and ate at another restaurant by the beach.
100
For us, we didn't really need to do much other than just be together and share time together.
101
So soon after that we packed up our stuff and came home.
102
So we were really only gone just one night but it was still
103
long enough to really enjoy our time and disconnect and just have a good time together.
104
I am super thankful for this amazing weekend
105
that I had with my friends and I hope I'm able to do it again soon.
106
I would really love to know if you have had any fun weekends like that or maybe it's not even a weekend.
107
Maybe it is just a night out where you have been able to disconnect from your normal life.
108
So let me know in the comments if you have any fun stories to tell.

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유
영어 회화를 연습하는데 있어, 실제적인 상황에서의 대화는 매우 중요한 요소입니다. 이 비디오에서는 마리아가 친구들과 주말에 여행을 떠난 경험을 이야기하며 자연스럽게 영어를 사용합니다. 그녀는 여행의 준비 과정, 음식, 대화, 그리고 친구들과의 소중한 순간들을 공유합니다. 이러한 맥락에서 영어 회화 연습을 하면, 실생활에서 사용할 수 있는 표현과 어휘를 배울 수 있습니다. 또한, 친구들과 함께한 소중한 순간을 공유하는 이야기는 여러분에게도 감정적으로 연결되는 경험을 제공합니다. 그러므로 이 비디오를 통해 영어 쉐도잉을 하며 기본적인 회화 능력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다.
맥락 속 문법 및 표현
마리아가 사용한 몇 가지 핵심 문법과 표현을 살펴보겠습니다:
- 제안하기 (propose): "왜 우리 모두를 위한 주말 여행을 가지 않나요?"와 같이 친구들에게 제안할 때 사용할 수 있는 표현입니다.
- 기쁨 표현하기 (feel so fulfilled): 개인적인 성취감을 표현할 때 유용한 문구입니다. 예를 들어, "나는 매우 행복함을 느껴요."로 변형할 수 있습니다.
- 지연된 행동 (not just because): 이유를 설명할 때 사용할 수 있는 패턴으로, 여러 상황을 함께 설명하고 싶을 때 효과적입니다.
- 감정 공유하기 (moving and emotional): 친구들과의 깊은 대화를 통해 감정을 나누는 것을 표현할 때 사용할 수 있습니다.
이런 표현들을 통해 여러분은 다양한 상황에서 자신의 감정을 더 풍부하게 전달할 수 있을 것입니다.
일반적인 발음함정
비디오에서 몇 가지 발음하기 어려운 단어와 억양을 주의 깊게 살펴볼 수 있습니다:
- getaway: '게타웨이'라고 발음하되, 주의해서 발음해야 합니다. 강세가 필요한 단어입니다.
- breathtaking: '브레드테이킹'이 아닌 '브레어스테이킹'처럼 발음하여 자연스러운 억양을 유지해야 합니다.
- paella: 스페인 요리인 파에야를 특정 농도로 발음하면 현지인과 대화할 때 도움됩니다.
이처럼 발음을 연습하면서, 실제 영어 회화에서 자주 사용되는 억양을 잘 익힐 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 여러분의 영어 발음과 회화 능력이 더욱 향상될 것입니다.
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.
