Shadowing Practice: a week in my life vlog - Learn English Speaking with Video

Good morning guys, it's Syd and welcome back.

So I'm on the move this morning.

No sitting down intro.

We're getting straight to business.

It's Monday and I'm doing a week in my life.

I'm starting out the day going to work per usual at a coffee shop.

I find it better this way.

Like I find that I'm more productive by just getting out of my apartment like right away.

I don't know.

I feel like over time you just find things

that work for you and things that don't and it's something that's really helped me.

It's sunny today.

You already know it's gonna be a great day.

Quick outfit check.

I'm wearing this top from Brandy and then my jacket from White Fox.

You guys love this jacket.

I'm wearing this bag from Long Champ and then sweats or leggings.

Yoga pants.

Same thing.

The first thing I'm doing is a meeting with my accountant and it's actually in three minutes so I'm gonna hurry.

I started by getting a coffee, a non-negotiable.

Honestly my favorite part of my day is this and then I hopped on the call.

This ended up being about an hour long.

Also I know my headphones are very tangled but it's pretty productive.

I don't know what else to say about an accountant.

I don't really know much about that field but they are very helpful.

Hey guys so update.

I am on my way to go vote.

It's about 5-10 minutes from my apartment.

I know that the election is over by the time you're watching this, but make sure to get out there and vote in the elections.

It's actually not that late.

I know it looks like it, but it's really only 5 30 p.m.

Daylight savings.

Who is it even saving?

Okay, that joke is overset.

But anyways, I'm going out to vote.

I promise this vlog will not be fully iPhone.

Quality is really going down on this channel minute by minute.

I'm back home now.

I ended up running to the bodega really last minute

and I got a few things and I thought a bodega haul would be fun.

It's gonna be quick.

There's not that much stuff.

I love going to the bodega and I do romanticize it I think because I'm not from here.

So first thing I got was a travel toothbrush kit because I'm going on a trip soon.

I'm really excited and I'll tell you guys more about that later in the week.

I also got cookies.

Going grocery shopping when you're hungry is like never good

and i did already eat them i ate three

and i did eat the next item as well okay i

got home immediately started eating i got these crackers these are like my favorite crackers you guys know

if you watched my recent blog they're

so good i actually don't really get this flavor

that often they're simple mills almond flour crackers i could eat

five boxes of these at once i got some milk i drink regular milk now

which has been a thing for me for a little bit

the last thing i got were some eggs i hope i didn't break these We're good.

So I got some eggs for breakfast in the morning.

I got these flowers These are kind of different, but I thought

that they were fun for the occasion in a few minutes I'm leaving to go to my friend nia's book premiere dinner.

It's more like a celebratory dinner She released a book.

I'm just so proud of her.

You guys should definitely check it out If you're watching this nia, I love you.

I'm so excited for you.

This is so huge

Hey guys!

Hi!

I'm with Mia!

Everyone, go grab her new book.

Tell them what to do.

Go get Bottom of the Pyramid out right now.

Now!

yay love you i'm so proud of you thank you

good morning i'm scared to look at myself right now i just woke up

and wow i have no thoughts yet i'm still like rebooting

i have a few things today i have a doctor's appointment i have a couple meetings

and then i might see my friends for coffee i'm gonna try

but first thing is this morning i'm so excited

because i'm having cleaners come they're coming from homoglow which is a cleaning service

sorry guys as i was filming the cleaner got here she's in the kitchen right now working on our cabinets

and doing kind of like a deep clean.

This is what our kitchen looks like before and I'll show you guys also what it looks like after.

I'm just so excited for fall and one of the things

that my roommate and I talked about was how we wanted to have a deep fall clean.

Seasonally that is when I usually try to like deep clean myself.

It's just such a good time to have a reset at like the start of every season

and I've just been getting in the fall spirit.

I even got these orange flowers for myself.

It is nice because it takes one of the big things off of my to-do list

and leaves me time to just do more fun things like with my friends, my roommate.

I'm gonna go get coffee in a few minutes because my friends

and I want to get like a fall coffee and I'm so excited to be working with Home Aglow on this video.

If you haven't heard of Home Aglow, it's a top-rated home service dedicated to keeping your home and space clean.

It is really convenient because you just go online

and book the cleaner on Home Aglow and they'll find the person in your area.

I also like how it's a great way to support cleaners

because 100% of the tips and cleaning service fees go directly to the cleaner.

To schedule cleaning, it is really easy.

You just go to Home Will Go's website and choose the day

100

or time that you're looking for and the duration of your cleaning and you'll see all the available cleaners.

101

And you can schedule as quickly as like this week or get something on the calendar for next month.

102

So just get it off your to-do list.

103

You can also browse photos and reviews of the background checked cleaners before choosing the right cleaner for you.

104

So if you want to check them out, make sure to click the link in the description.

105

They also have a Forever Clean membership by the way

106

that I wanted to mention it actually saves you $30 an hour

107

on all future cleanings you can even put cleanings at starting at $19 an hour

108

which is really crazy after the first month like the membership just pays for itself so

109

if you want to take home cleaning off of your to-do

110

list this fall you can use my link to go to

111

homego.com slash sydney serena I'll also try to put it on the screen

112

and you can actually get your first three hours of cleaning for only $19

113

but I'm gonna head out

114

and grab coffee with my friends I hope I can get like a pumpkin latte because i want to be festive

115

i feel like i failed you guys i went into the coffee shop

116

and i barely vlogged okay i'm very sorry it's kind of my pet peeve

117

when people or vloggers like say they're gonna do something

118

and then they don't show it and then i just did

119

that and i feel guilty but i'll fill you in it wasn't a super long thing, but my friends and I got pumpkin lattes, or I got a pumpkin latte.

120

It was really good.

121

Honestly, if I had traded, I'd say a 9 out of 10, and I do feel like I'm really getting in the false spirit next to this tree.

122

Oh, wow, look at that car.

123

Anyways, I had a meeting scheduled for 11, which was 10 minutes ago, and it just got canceled.

124

It was supposed to be with my jewelry manufacturer, so I have a doctor's appointment in two hours, but since that got canceled, I thought In the meantime,

125

I would run to Aritzia and, I don't know, a couple clothing stores.

126

I need some new clothes for a trip that I'm going on next week.

127

And then I'm going to head back because I want to check in on the cleaner, see how things are going.

128

It's kind of nice because I can still, like, message her even though I'm not home.

129

And things seem to be going really well.

130

Anyways, I'm going to have, like, a nice little hour.

131

I'm just going to go.

132

I'm just going to go shop.

133

A beautiful day in Soho.

134

Sometimes this place is very overstimulating for me and I tend to avoid it.

135

I ended up stopping in Skims and Aritzia.

136

Like I said, I was prepping for a trip that was coming up so I felt like I had a good excuse.

137

Grabbed some food and then after that I had a doctor's appointment also to prep for my trip.

138

I got a couple shots and I didn't faint this time.

139

Sometimes that happens.

140

Success, I guess.

141

Okay guys, so I just got my shots.

142

I was walking home and I don't know, am I just like that easily influenced

143

because I saw this sign for a head massage

144

and I actually don't have anything going on the rest of the night and I really want to go do it.

145

Like I've always wanted to do this.

146

I've seen it on TikTok.

147

I guess I'm being spontaneous.

148

Should I be doing this?

149

Probably not.

150

I should be going home doing productive things but I really want to do it and I'm usually not that spontaneous.

151

So let's see if they have an appointment available

152

or like an opening and then I can show you guys how it is.

153

See, that's my excuse is that I'm doing this to give you guys a review when in reality, it's just a reason for me to go do it.

154

Looking back, what was this day?

155

Like this was the most perfect day I've had.

156

Going shopping and trying out the famous head massage.

157

I am a bit like let down.

158

It was really nice, but I sort of would just like prefer a regular massage over this.

159

I feel like the people that posted on TikTok make it look so much cooler.

160

That's my opinion.

161

The apartment is looking so nice she did such an amazing job look how nice

162

and clean it is She wiped everything down did the floors, which is like my least favorite thing to do It looks so nice.

163

I just wanted to show you guys the after.

164

Thank you home aglow for the beautiful apartment Good morning.

165

It's so sunny.

166

Can you see the sun coming through?

167

oh there's nothing i love more than the sun good morning

168

guys it's 9 a.m i slept in a little extra

169

because i ended up staying up pretty late last night looking at flights for thanksgiving

170

and like christmas

171

and going back to minnesota today i am going to try

172

to get a lot of stuff done i have a couple campaigns

173

and just videos that i want to film at my apartment

174

and then i also have a lot to do for ophelia

175

but most of the stuff that i do for

176

that is like on my laptop since i'm working on hiring a new social media girl

177

and then the next collection like a lot of that's just like on my laptop

178

so i think i'm gonna go get coffee and get some work done

179

and then later i'll come back

180

and do some filming here i'm also going to make dinner tonight

181

and hang out with my roommate we might go golfing

182

so yeah i'm excited first thing let's get this bed made

183

oh i also listen to podcasts most mornings specifically this guy

184

the mindset mentor i'm like such a loyal fan to this

185

guy his name's rob dial it's just become a part of my routine to listen to him

186

and he's very like positive and uplifting

187

which really like rubs off on me especially at like the

188

start of my day whatever i consume really sets the tone

189

so i try to be very intentional like not scroll on tiktok

190

and instead listen to someone like him he's just kind of like a life coach almost

191

and talks about like working towards your goals strategies ways to be more productive happiness everything

192

so that's who i listen to in case you're wondering easy to my king is available to every single person it's

193

breakfast time and my current rotation are scrambled eggs specifically with onion

194

which i almost burned as you can see my hack is

195

i like to get pre-chopped up onions at the grocery store it saves me

196

so much time and it makes for a pretty good breakfast.

197

We'll see how long this one lasts.

198

And then I went to go work at my same coffee shop that I've been also going to every day.

199

I was working on stuff for Ophelia while simultaneously being on hold for about an hour.

200

I'm working at the coffee shop.

201

I have my headphones in and I'm kind of having trouble speaking right now because I have music blasting in my ears.

202

It's like elevator music because I'm on hold with UPS

203

and i've been on hold with them for 25 minutes

204

so all i'm hearing is elevator music boss nova style going through me right now

205

and i can't give up my spot on hold you know

206

it's like i'm committed after 20 minutes like i'm never hanging up like never ever hanging up again

207

but as i'm on hold i am just doing some emails i think i said this earlier

208

but i just hired someone new for ophelia i have someone

209

help me with the social media accounts it's really fun like the marketing

210

and like photography behind it all is something i like really enjoy

211

but i definitely like need help with it i have a new great girl

212

so i'm really excited i'm setting up a meeting with her for tomorrow morning and

213

so i'm kind of just like prepping the like onboarding i

214

guess you would say even though it is like a very small company it's like just me

215

and the manufacturers it is fun to like work with people

216

and it kind of makes it like less lonely like i love like collaborating with like very creative people

217

and then i'm also submitting one of the videos to a brand that i that I have going live tomorrow.

218

Everyone here in this area works in finance and I do feel a little out of place.

219

Everyone's in like suits and has a headset on

220

and I'm just like editing my little youtube video update

221

because i forgot to film for like an hour i got

222

home i ate lunch i actually just had like a microwavable meal

223

because i was lazy i did a few more emails

224

that i had a call that i wanted to do here

225

and like not at the coffee shop it's now 2 30 in the afternoon my roommate

226

and i like to plan cooking nights we switch off who gets the groceries

227

and then we usually try to cook together because it's more fun and it's

228

so much easier making a meal for two people rather than

229

one buying all the ingredients just for one person like never makes sense

230

so it's kind of like perfect and we have a lot of fun doing it

231

so tonight is my night to go get the groceries

232

so i'm gonna go grab the stuff for dinner it's the

233

sweet potato chicken bowls i think i put this in a vlog recently

234

and i also just need a couple groceries in general

235

because i've been eating out kind of a lot

236

and i would rather not and try not to eat out

237

so much So I'm gonna go pick up just a few groceries and I'm gonna take you guys with me.

238

I've changed my mind.

239

I like grocery shopping when it is not Sunday.

240

I feel that I can barely even move in the grocery store on Sundays

241

so I try to avoid it at all costs.

242

I found some great things.

243

I actually found too many things to the point where I had to taxi home.

244

Sometimes I'll walk.

245

Today that just wasn't the case.

246

I had too much to carry.

247

I'm back from the grocery store and looking in the viewfinder, I'm realizing how much I need to self-tan.

248

Dave, my editor, please make me look more tan I got quite a few things

249

And I usually try not to Uber home I try to walk home

250

But I got so much stuff

251

that I kind of had to take a car I picked up some fun groceries

252

So I wanted to do like the quickest grocery haul ever

253

I'm not going to show everything Some of it's like kind of boring We're making dinner tonight, like I said So you'll see the stuff

254

that I got for dinner later

255

But I got some mini peppers for a snack I also

256

got some cold brew coffee I got a ton of poppies

257

These are my favorite flavor The lemon lime i've usually like ordered them on amazon, but I ran out.

258

I wanted to try this I have no idea what this is gonna be like at night.

259

I need to eat something sweet every night Unfortunately, and this looked good.

260

I've never seen this before It's supposed to be like a slightly healthier ice cream dark chocolate ice cream

261

and honeycomb pieces I don't know.

262

It looked good to me.

263

So we'll see got some plain greek yogurt some granola Tzatziki for dinner tonight Oh, I got these mini cookies and I honestly shouldn't have gotten these

264

because the last time I ate them I had way too many

265

and I got the worst stomach ache after So I just didn't have self-control, but these are really good I got some of these mini kettle corn bags I like how they're pre-portioned

266

because I would eat the whole giant bag in one sitting My favorite crackers.

267

You guys have seen these a million times by now some sourdough tons of avocado I also got these smart sweets.

268

I really like these Everything is like dessert that i'm showing you.

269

I also got some blueberries Yeah, that's the gist of what I got besides some of the groceries for dinner.

270

So I'm gonna put these in my fridge and then I think we're gonna leave to go golfing soon.

271

Did I ever think I would be a golfer?

272

No. Never once did this cross my mind, but my friend Olivia and I have been really loving to go.

273

And it's also so much more fun to go with a friend.

274

So we've been taking lessons together.

275

Golf was cold.

276

It was fun, but it was really freezing.

277

am i getting better no well i feel like we're slowly

278

getting there anyways we're back home now we are making dinner

279

olivia's chopping it up hey guys hey guys we're like so hungry

280

that we can't we can't even function we're like trying to

281

make this as quickly as possible we're freaking out like we

282

have no time to kill she's like top chef right now

283

we're like on the top i'm like I'm having a freak out right now.

284

You're so fast with it.

285

Okay, I'm lacking.

286

I need to get to work.

287

Guys, this is our favorite meal ever.

288

I'll put the recipe in the description box if anyone wants to make it.

289

It's so good.

290

And I feel fake because actually Olivia showed me this recipe and we eat it at least once a week.

291

And the trick are the white sweet potatoes.

292

It is.

293

Right?

294

Because I've gotten them regular and they're just not as good.

295

Cheers.

296

Cheers.

297

All right.

298

Cheers.

299

Good morning, guys.

300

I'm currently marinating.

301

I woke up, immediately put self-tanner on my body.

302

Why did I say that weirdly?

303

If you self-tan, you know it's a process.

304

Like last night, I got in the shower.

305

I did the whole exfoliating thing right before bed.

306

Then you do the moisturizer.

307

And now I'm waking up and I'm at business.

308

So I'm currently sitting in self-tanner.

309

I have to wait a couple hours, which is why my outfit is pretty casual.

310

But this morning, I decided I was going to wash my sheets.

311

Plan is I am gonna go down, drop off my laundry because that's on the second floor of my apartment, get the laundry started, and then oh I have a meeting in exactly 30 minutes

312

that I have not prepped for at all.

313

So I really need to hurry because I'm gonna be doing that at the coffee shop and I still need to prep.

314

It's for the new social media girl at Ophelia.

315

I hired her a couple days ago.

316

She's so great.

317

So that's the morning.

318

I'm gonna quickly get that done.

319

This is my breakfast by the way

320

berries with yogurt it's

321

my new fixation i'm back

322

at the same coffee shop i'm very predictable

323

but you know i found my coffee shop that i like

324

and i get a lot done here they also have like massive booths like massive tables and they're very comfortable seats.

325

So I like it.

326

And I got a free coffee today, guys, because my punch card was filled up.

327

And they gave me a 24 ounce that I already drank.

328

That's very concerning.

329

It's like the size of my head.

330

I know it's dark outside.

331

I know you guys are confused.

332

What did you do all day?

333

Like what happened?

334

Actually, basically nothing happened because I was just sitting on my laptop working for the majority of the day.

335

And then I went and I got a croissant with olivia my roommate

336

and that's about it I'm trying to revive myself because olivia and I are gonna go out tonight.

337

We're going to get dinner It's actually like nothing crazy.

338

It's like her friend's event or something So I need to dress up for

339

that But first before I get dressed for

340

that i'm going to do the dreaded task of putting my fitted sheet on

341

And then I have all my other laundry in here that I also did today.

342

For some reason, I just did it all at once.

343

Okay, guys, this is my outfit for dinner.

344

Top is from Quince.

345

This little tank is from Skims.

346

I forget what about these pants.

347

I think I thrifted them a long time ago.

348

Dolce Vita boots, the one I wear all the time.

349

And that is the fit.

350

I touched up like my hair and makeup and stuff.

351

So we're gonna head out.

352

It's actually not dinner, we realized.

353

I think it's just like drinks thing. So...

354

I was wrong.

355

A little mishap, but that's okay.

356

And we're gonna go.

357

Bye.

358

So it actually was a dinner.

359

We were wrong.

360

Thankfully it was because I did not eat prior and it was so good.

361

The event was decorated so nicely and we had such a nice night.

362

And then I woke up the next morning, Friday, looking real rough. Be warned.

363

Good morning.

364

Okay.

365

Wow.

366

Oh my gosh.

367

Scary.

368

I'm scared.

369

I kind of need to clean up my room because I never finished my laundry.

370

All right, guys, my room is looking 10 times better.

371

That was very necessary.

372

But now I have my eye patches on because I'm recovering.

373

I'm recovering from last night, okay?

374

I'm a little down in the dumps.

375

These, I think, will do the trick.

376

Today, what I need to do is pack.

377

That's why I have those clothes over there for my trip.

378

You guys will see where I'm going.

379

I don't want to say where I'm going just yet.

380

Just stay tuned, you know, I'm gonna be packing for that though

381

And then at the same time i'm packing for you guys

382

because there's a couple ophelia orders that I need to pack up and ship out That you guys ordered this week.

383

I'm really excited for our next collection That is so exciting.

384

We haven't had a new collection in like seven months

385

because we did like this whole transition with the manufacturers and everything I think it's gonna be really worth it.

386

So anyways, i'm gonna pack these orders really quick ship them off

387

and then We'll see maybe grab some coffee and get packing.

388

This is just like a cute cozy day at home Wait,

389

by the way guys, I just took those eye patches off and they actually work.

390

I'm shocked at how well they work.

391

Do you guys notice like the darkness?

392

I didn't put any concealer on either and usually my eyes are like pretty dark underneath so I'm very happy.

393

Okay, I just have to include a little product review but let's go to the post office.

394

so i just dropped off the packages i am honestly scared

395

i'm gonna fall asleep as i'm walking on the street

396

so i think i'm gonna go get coffee i really never

397

wanted to be this reliant on coffee is the thing it starts out

398

so slowly and you don't realize how much you become reliant on it

399

and now here i am kind of feel like i'm in

400

a dream right now like that's how tired i am everything

401

seems fake long story short i'm getting coffee that's it and then i'm gonna go to a diner

402

I'm meeting my boyfriend at our favorite diner in Tribeca,

403

but I do need coffee immediately So I'm back with my mini microphone.

404

This is when you know things get serious.

405

It's review time It was actually not a review.

406

I get this like all the time.

407

It's the daydream latte from blank street It's really good.

408

It's like cinnamon, vanilla, all the things I like in my lattes.

409

But I'm sitting here for a few minutes because before lunch, I am going to be reading my friend's book.

410

I got this in the mail last night.

411

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
