쉐도잉 연습: Totally Wrong Facts You Probably Still Believe - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Completely wrong facts that people still believe.

The Great Lie of China.

If you actually ended up becoming one of the fortunate few people who achieved their childhood goal of becoming an astronaut, you would at some point have the opportunity to go to space.

And during that time in space, if you happened to look down at the Earth, you would at some point find the Great Wall of China, right?

We all know that the Great Wall of China is visible to the naked eye in space

because of its sheer mass of size.

But what if I told you that wasn't the case at all?

And the origins of this folk tale actually date back to comic books.

Let me explain.

There is no doubt that the Great Wall of China is one of the coolest man -made structures on this entire planet.

The history, the architecture, the grandeur, it's all insane.

And because of that, the Great Wall was a perfect candidate for the perfect lie.

And this lie actually dates back as far as 1932.

During this time, Ripley's, believe it or not, yeah, the people that made the best book at the book fairs, were doing short stories and comic strips

and potentially one of their most iconic comic strips stated that the Great Wall of China was the mightiest work of man,

and that it was the only man -made structure that was visible not from space, but from the moon.

The comic goes on to state other facts and information about the Great Wall of China, but that first line about the Great Wall being seen from space was not only an unsubstantiated claim,

but was also enough to get people hooked, line, and sinker.

And from that point on, this wild claim made before anybody even went to space was just taken as fact, And well, the myth still persists to this day.

Now, I would say it's more or less common sense

that you can't see any one specific man -made structure on Earth from the moon, but I can see where it gets a bit dicey when you swap the moon for space.

But with the construction of the International Space Station, it has been confirmed by numerous astronauts that the Great Well of China is not visible to the naked eye from space.

Astronauts have claimed that they have seen the Great Well of China, but it has required magnification.

But on top of requiring magnification, they also need to be extremely focused on where they're looking

because the Great Wall of China blends into the landscape so well.

The brown and gray bricks on the wall don't necessarily contrast super well from the brown trees and dirt.

And for that reason, unless you know exactly where to look and you have a bit of magnification, you're not going to see the Great Wall of China from space.

And you'd have a much better bet looking from a commercial airplane, assuming you knew where to look and it was clear.

Now, to add a bit of insult to injury, astronauts have also claimed that there are other man -made structures that are way easier to spot from space, with those structures being way less important than the Great Wall of China,

specifically airstrips and large stretches of road.

And the reason for that is simply because of contrast.

The dark black tarmac used to make roads and airstrips is much more visible.

And on top of that, these simple structures are typically very straight.

And as some of you may know, straight lines do not exist in nature.

So for those two reasons, these simple structures stand out a lot more than the Great Wall of China.

So yeah, the Great Wall of China is cool, but it's not visible from space cool.

Witch please.

I would say it's safe to assume

that most people watching this video are familiar with the hysteria -induced Salem Witch Trials of 1692 too.

And while the witch trials happened and were crazy, there are a ton of myths and misconceptions surrounding the Salem witch trials.

So, for that reason, I'm gonna kind of speedrun a bunch of Salem witch trial myths.

You know, because we are getting into the spooky season.

Okay, for starters, it wasn't just women that were being accused of witchcraft.

During this time, everybody was hysterical, and nobody was safe from a demonic or witchcraft allegation.

And while it is a fact that mostly women were accused and prosecuted, a quarter of the people that were killed during the Salem witch trials were actually men.

This may or may not be surprising, but what probably is surprising is the fact that it wasn't only humans that were killed during the Salem Witch Trials.

There was at least two dogs confirmed to be killed because they were accused and found guilty of witchcraft.

And in these dogs' cases specifically, they were found guilty of being under the influence of witchcraft.

Which means that it wasn't even their fault, but they still died because of it, and that is sad.

And speaking of deaths, I think the most common misconception about the Salem Witch Trials was

that witches were burned at the stake.

And while it's undeniable that at least 20 people were killed during the Salem witch trials, none of them were burned.

That's right, 19 of them were hung, and one of them was crushed to death by rocks.

Now, if you're saying to yourself, I know for a fact witches were burned at the stake, you're right.

But it did not happen in Salem.

All of the burnings that happened took place in Europe.

And while the Salem witch trials only lasted roughly a year, there was multi -year -long hysteria and witch hunts that took place over in Europe that claimed the lives of thousands.

And over there, they were burning witches left, right, and center.

And I find that a bit interesting, because Salem is now forever bound to the concept of witch hunts and witch trials.

Although, compared to the witch trials that took place in Europe, what happened in Salem was really a drop in the bucket.

Not to say that it was okay, but, I mean, comparably, 20 deaths versus 1 ,000, you'd think they'd associate the practice with the Europeans.

Or at least the Europoopens.

Oh my god, that was so dumb.

Razor -sharp lies.

When I was a young naive little bro I was once told

that if you shaved your face the facial hair would grow back thicker fuller

and darker in hearing this as like a 13 14 year old bro All I wanted to do a shave

because I really wanted to have some cool facial hair

and seem older than I was like every other kid Does I remember shaving

and shaving and bleeding a lot but never making any facial hair progress.

And I actually ended up giving up on the practice before I ever learned the truth.

And if you had a similar situation, well, welcome to the club, because a lot of people have not only heard this myth, but actively fall for it every single day.

The origins of this myth, interestingly, are unknown, although clinical studies disproving this myth date back all the way into the 1920s.

Which just goes to show how prolific this myth is, because we have literally had clinical studies for almost a hundred years proving that shaving does not affect your hair thickness, but people still believe it.

And while it actually has no physical effect, appearances are something we can discuss.

And here's what I mean by that.

When you shave, the razor cuts the hair on the surface of the skin, but it has no effect on the follicle deep below the skin.

The hair that was on your face went from a long pointed tip to a short nub.

And this little nub of hair can feel coarser as it begins to grow out.

And if you couple this short -lived bluntness of the freshly shaved hair with the fact

that the new hair that is growing hasn't yet been exposed to any chemicals or sunlight to lighten it, then you may feel like this new, freshly shaved hair is coming back thicker and darker.

But in reality, it's more or less of an optical illusion that typically only lasts a few days.

The ladies are gonna know what I'm talking about.

You know if you shave your legs, and then a few days later your legs feel prickly?

That's because of the blunted, coarse hair.

You're not getting hairier or growing new hair, it's just the hair that was there needs some time to grow that fine tip again.

And if there really was any truth to this myth, don't you think shaving your head would become the number one remedy for baldness.

I mean, to be fair, it kind of is the number one remedy or solution, but not because it grows your hair back.

It just prevents you from looking like myrrh from Impractical Jokers.

But yeah, while there are genuine methods of regrowing hair and making your hair thicker, shaving is not one of them.

And I'm glad it's not, because that would literally make the entire act counterproductive.

The baby bird belief.

Have you ever been out on a walk when you see a vulnerable, injured baby bird on the sidewalk all by himself?

This is a deeply heartbreaking sight, and all you want to do is help out this little baby bird.

But right as you kneel down to pick up this bird and put them anywhere else, your friend tells you, hey, you can't touch this baby bird.

If you touch this baby bird, its mom will pick up on your scent and abandon this bird completely.

If you touch it, it's gonna die.

The best thing you can do is leave it.

So then you and your friend continue to walk on the sidewalk, only for that bird to get run over by a guy on a one wheel.

100

Tragic.

101

This is a myth that I definitely believed.

102

Actually, up until recently, honestly, because I never thought about it too much, but I remember hearing this a lot when I was younger.

103

Thinking about it now, it seems like a clever way for parents to make their kids not touch wild animals.

104

But that's about as deep as it goes, because this claim is more or less of a folklore or a myth.

105

When speaking about birds specifically, first of all, birds don't even have a very strong sense of smell to begin with.

106

So scientists claim that it's highly unlikely

107

that a bird would even be able to tell the difference whether

108

or not their child has been touched by a human or not.

109

And regardless of their lack of smell, birds are dedicated parents, and go to pretty extreme lengths to ensure the survival of their children, even if that means killing one of their children.

110

Which sounds counterproductive, but I mean, if you've got four kids, one of them sucks, and you want at least three of them to live, you gotta get rid of the bad one.

111

At least in bird logic.

112

Now, with every myth, there's typically a kernel of truth.

113

The kernel of truth is this.

114

There is specific scenarios where birds will abandon their young, but it's not nearly as simple as, oh, if you touch the baby bird, it's done.

115

What typically causes a bird to abandon its nest is

116

if the bird's nest is simply too hostile to continue to live in.

117

If the nest is consistently visited or even threatened by predators on a regular basis, and the bird's babies are still in the egg stage,

118

then the parents may make the tough decision of abandoning the nest to begin a new one in a safer location.

119

Although, if the chicks have been hatched, it's going to take a lot to scare away a parent bird from its nest.

120

Although, every bird is different, and there's definitely a fluctuation on commitment when it comes to bird parents.

121

The general consensus is that birds that live longer are typically more picky and sensitive with their young, and potentially more likely to abandon their children.

122

However, birds that live relatively shorter lives typically tend to be more committed to their children.

123

And what's even more interesting is the fact that this doesn't only apply to birds.

124

There are not many animals that will simply abandon their child because it has been encountered by a human, with one of the notable exceptions being rabbits.

125

Rabbits in general live very high -stress lives.

126

They can even die from stress if you try to pick one up.

127

But besides rabbits, most animals are not going to ditch their kids simply because you touch them.

128

Now, with all of this being said, I feel like it's important to note that you shouldn't be touching baby animals in most cases.

129

You don't know what diseases they have and they don't know what diseases you have.

130

In most cases, baby animals are not far from their mothers and even if you don't see them, the parents are typically watching or not too far away.

131

And if you find yourself in a situation where there is a vulnerable baby animal

132

that is in desperate need of your help, don't neglect it out of fear of it being abandoned.

133

However, if there's a baby animal that you see that's safe, although alone, it's best to leave it alone and assume that the parent is nearby, which is often the case. Although, use your discretion

134

and feel free to call your local animal shelter to get

135

more professional advice the mouthful myth have you ever been watching tv

136

and either seen somebody have a seizure

137

or maybe get knocked out in a fight only for people to run to the rescue

138

and put them on their side

139

and maybe even put something in their mouth to ensure

140

that they do not swallow their tongue i know i have and i can't Pinpoint exactly where, honestly, but I know for a fact that I've heard

141

that it's not only possible But a genuine risk that

142

if you become unconscious whether through sleeping seizure or trauma

143

That there's a chance that you could swallow your tongue

144

and suffocate if you've heard

145

or potentially even believe this myth It honestly kind of makes sense I mean your tongue is long

146

and if you're not actively controlling it, it could potentially go the wrong way But the truth of the matter is

147

that it is physically impossible to swallow your tongue Meaning

148

that this is not a genuine risk unless your tongue becomes

149

detached from your body somehow it is physically impossible to swallow your own tongue, which is a good thing.

150

Now, what's unfortunate is the actual truth of the matter and things that people try to do to prevent tongue swallowing.

151

One of the worst things

152

that somebody can do to prevent somebody from swallowing their tongue is by putting something in the person's mouth.

153

If someone specifically having a seizure has an object inserted into their mouth, it can essentially just become a weapon and causing potentially broken teeth

154

and now a new foreign object being in the mouth of somebody who's unconscious and seizing, which is a genuine danger because this object could be swallowed, which is definitely not good.

155

What actually happens if you become incapacitated?

156

Well, unless you're seizing, all of your muscles are going to relax.

157

This includes your tongue.

158

And when your tongue is in a relaxed state, it is possible for your tongue to partially or even completely obscure your breathing.

159

Obviously, this isn't swallowing your tongue, but it is still dangerous.

160

This phenomenon is extremely common, and it is known in most cases as snoring.

161

Sleep apnea specifically is a result of a partial blockage in your airway during your sleep.

162

But in the case of somebody who's currently seizing, their muscles aren't relaxed whatsoever.

163

However, one of the bigger risks isn't their tongue falling to the back of their throat, it's actually the individual biting their tongue, and in some cases, off.

164

If you thought biting your tongue accidentally when you ate felt bad, imagine unconsciously putting all of the force of your jaw onto your tongue for minutes on end.

165

That is a scary thought.

166

But in either of these situations, whether your body is relaxed or tense, it is impossible to swallow your own tongue, although it doesn't mean that you shouldn't consider it when helping somebody who is unconscious.

167

The best way to really help anybody who's unconscious is to put them into the recovery position, which can prevent tongue issues and allow somebody to vomit without choking on it as well.

168

Here's a quick graphic on how to do the recovery position in case you wanted to know.

169

Honestly, doesn't hurt to know because it literally could save somebody's life.

170

But this video isn't about saving lives.

171

It's about disproving myths.

172

So let's keep going.

173

Dead toenail tails.

174

You and the neighbor kid are hanging out.

175

And during this hangout, you guys get bored.

176

And the neighbor kid says, hey, let me show you something.

177

It's pretty cool.

178

You follow him outside and you guys go on a short walk

179

when you end up in a dark building in a basement.

180

He turns on the light in this basement and all you see is doors on a wall.

181

The neighbor kid opens one of these doors and pulls out a tray.

182

And on this tray, disturbingly, is a dead body.

183

You don't even believe what you're seeing at first and assume you're in a haunted house.

184

When the neighbor kid confirms your worst nightmare, he says, look at this dead person.

185

You reluctantly take a peek and say, yeah, what about it?

186

When he tells you their hair and nails are still growing.

187

Look, I was here yesterday and their hair and nails weren't nearly this long.

188

At that point, morbid curiosity takes over and you take a look at their fingernails, which do look a bit long, But then you ask the neighbor kid, wait, you were here yesterday?

189

And then you both decide to stop disturbing the dead and leave.

190

That story, admittedly, was morbid.

191

But it helps me paint the picture of this next misconception.

192

Seemingly forever now, people have believed that after you die, you still continue to have hair and nail growth for some time after death.

193

And whether or not this is something you've ever heard or believed, the reality is this.

194

No human grows hair or grows their nails after death.

195

Although, similar to the shaving thing, there is a bit of an optical illusion at play.

196

And it is a morbid one.

197

At this point, numerous dermatologists have debunked this myth simply by claiming is what you're seeing

198

when you see potential nail growth

199

or hair growth after someone dies isn't the actual growth of the hair or nails at all.

200

What it is is a dehydration of the body causing a retraction of the skin, appearing the hair and nails to seem larger or longer.

201

And while that may give you some clarity, it still doesn't answer why you're hanging out with a dead body.

202

But seriously, to grow hair and nails, your body needs to be, one, alive, and two, able to regulate a complex hormonal system that allows the creation of hair and nails to even happen.

203

And this is even a struggle for some people that are alive, let alone dead people.

204

But leaving Wilt Smith's husband out of it, to further prove this point, we're going to now show you graphic images of dead people.

205

Three, two, I am just catering, and I know some of you were kind of looking forward to it, and you need to seek help.

206

Food fairy tales.

207

Admittedly, transitioning from dead people to food isn't ideal, but here we are.

208

And we've got a stinker.

209

I would argue that most people have at least heard or potentially even still believe that eating turkey specifically makes you sleepy.

210

And they might even have evidence to back it up.

211

Which I'll quickly explain.

212

People that believe that turkey makes you feel sleepy believe this because there is a chemical known as tryptophan within turkey.

213

Interestingly, there is scientific evidence that shows that tryptophan is involved in sleep and mood control and can even cause drowsiness.

214

And L -tryptophan has even been sold and marketed as a sleep aid.

215

So far it seems like turkey making you sleepy is proven true right?

216

But here's where things get interesting.

217

Because while all of this is true, turkey meat is not the only meat that contains tryptophan.

218

For example, chicken and minced beef also contain nearly the exact same amount of tryptophan.

219

Roughly 350 milligrams per 150 grams of meat.

220

But besides this, pork and cheese actually have more tryptophan than turkey.

221

Which kind of muddies up the equation a bit.

222

Because nobody talks about eating pork or cheese and then going to bed, or chicken or beef for that matter.

223

It's always turkey.

224

But to make things even more muddy, L -tryptophan supplements are typically recommended on an empty stomach to help maximize absorption.

225

And if you're eating turkey with, you know, a Thanksgiving meal, with stuffing, with bread, with other things, your absorption of that tryptophan is going to be lower than if you were just eating turkey by itself,

226

further reducing its effectiveness.

227

I don't want to get all technical on you, but here's the truth.

228

A lot of people believe that eating turkey specifically makes you sleepy because it's full of tryptophan.

229

And while on the surface that seems like it's plausible, in reality the reason why people feel

230

so tired after eating a huge turkey meal typically on Christmas or Thanksgiving is because exactly that.

231

They are eating a huge meal and it's the meal itself that is causing the drowsiness.

232

Any large solid meal can induce sleepiness because of the increased blood flow and oxygen to the digestive system.

233

And why that is is because if there is extra blood and oxygen in your digestive tract, you know where it's not?

234

In your brain.

235

Which means that you are literally going to feel more lethargic

236

and in most cases sleepy so yeah turkey won't make you any more sleepier than chicken

237

or beef would and

238

if you're sitting at thanksgiving dinner wondering why your dad is asleep at the table it's not

239

because he had too much turkey it's

240

because he had 14 beers in the garage before dinner the lazy brain legend quickly

241

if you guys are enjoying this video

242

and would like to see me make another video on completely wrong facts feel free to leave a like

243

or leave a comment saying part two that way i know that you guys really want a follow -up to this video.

244

Also, if you're part of the 70 -something percent of people that aren't subscribed, feel free to consider it.

245

We make pretty good videos, and we post every Friday.

246

Now, let's talk about your lazy brain.

247

We all know that in 2025, there is an endless supply of self -help gurus telling you that you need to be better, and selling you the solution to be better.

248

But the reality is, this business practice is nowhere near new, and people were even doing this as early as 1907.

249

What were people saying in 1907?

250

Well, they were saying that you are only using roughly 10 % of your brain.

251

And this slogan kind of got a lot of traction

252

and allowed a lot of people to make a lot of money selling ways to tap into untapped potential within your brain.

253

And from these claims dating back as early as 1907, people to this day still quote and believe that you only use roughly 10 % of your brain.

254

But is it really true?

255

Well, according to evidence from studies of brain damage, brain imaging, localization of function within the brain, and even metabolic studies of the brain,

256

people use much more than just 10 % of their brains.

257

Now, specifically focusing on the brain imaging studies, out of the countless brain imaging studies that have taken place, none of them have ever shown an area of the brain to be fully silent or inactive.

258

What they did find was that many functions of the brain are highly localized, with different tasks being allocated to different parts of the brain, which is, I think at this point,

259

relatively common knowledge, at least the left and right hemisphere part, but it obviously goes much deeper than that.

260

But that alone kind of just disproves the entire myth that we only use 10 % of our brain.

261

It would make no sense for our most vital organ that is literally consuming most of our calories, at least compared to other organs, to be so dormant.

262

It makes almost no sense.

263

And I would probably argue that even when you are sleeping, or potentially even unconscious, you are using more than 10 % of your brain

264

because of all of the unconscious acts that your body is consistently doing.

265

I would even argue that your dad passed out on the Thanksgiving table has more than 10 % brain activity, even if he only has 10 % of a normal brain.

266

Regardless, outside of just imaging studies, neuroscientists have even probed individual, localized micro parts of the brain to test the response of single neurons.

267

And even those tests revealed that there was no gaps or inactive areas.

268

Everywhere that they probed in the brain was able to essentially respond to the stimuli, proving that all of the brain was active.

269

And whether or not all of the brain is doing equal quality or efficient work is a different conversation.

270

But the claim of 90 % of the brain being unused is completely untrue, at least from a biological standpoint.

271

There may be a separate argument specifically about this conscious versus subconscious mind, but even still, your subconscious mind is active, it's not dormant, it's just not fully within your control.

272

So yeah, good news, you use more than 10 % of your brain.

273

The bad news is, even 100 % of zero IQ is still zero IQ.

274

But regardless of what your IQ score is, I have a video for you.

275

The video you see on screen right now is actually a collab video I made with Chat History, where we played GeoGuessr to see who is truly the best stickman of them all.

276

But in case that's not your speed, just check out the channel.

277

We have so many good videos for you to watch.

278

Thank you guys so much for watching this video.

279

And as always, trust me, bro.

이 영상으로 연습하는 방법

먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
0.75배속으로 한 문장씩 섀도잉을 시작하고, 익숙해지면 보통 속도로 돌아갑니다.
자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, myth, shave, nail 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

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.
