Shadowing Practice: Comprehensible Input English Conversation --- B1 B2 C1 Poland - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
If you learn English to get an international job or to travel all around the world,
2
you simply need to follow the example of those who have already done it.
3
And in this video, you will see a conversation of two gringos,
4
nomads, or simply put, those professionals who travel around the world
5
and work remotely with B2 So if you want to sound like us,
6
all you need to do is simply shadow us.
7
Which means pause this video every 5 seconds and repeat everything we say.
8
Alright, ready to get started?
9
Hit the like button below and let's kick it off!
10
I think Brazilians are chronically late.
11
They said you were chronically late, hard to work with, and that you went over budget by 20 grand.
12
Probably they live in their own time zone, which is always 17 to 45 minutes behind the time.
13
The next Christmas.
14
Yo, dude!
15
How you doing?
16
Good to meet you, man, for the first time in my life.
17
Spill the tea.
18
Tell me, what the heck are you doing in Poland if you're a Brazilian?
19
So, Julie, spill the tea.
20
I work remotely, I run my own business which is online so I'm able to work from anywhere
21
and I have a group of friends who also all work remotely, we met traveling and then we try to get together every now and again just to like catch up and work together.
22
Well um every now and again a purge if you will is not such a bad thing.
23
Poland and Brazil are like completely different sides of of the world.
24
How do you feel here?
25
The culture must be quite different compared to Brazilians.
26
In a way, yeah, but also Warsaw is the capital, as you know.
27
Capitals have their own unique culture because they have more international people, I think they're a bit more open, but I feel very much at home.
28
It feels very nice, yeah.
29
Nice, so you're a nomad.
30
I wouldn't say that, but aspiring nomad, I would call it.
31
I live full-time in Brazil still.
32
I have my house in Brazil, but I just like to travel and whenever I can travel, I try to.
33
Misfits and gypsies and nomads.
34
We were all running away from something.
35
How come you sound like American?
36
I would say you sound like 90% American in my opinion.
37
I learned English mostly by myself, like watching videos and playing video games and stuff.
38
Watch me rep this damn culture all by my damn self.
39
But for six months to a year, I had a private tutor back in Brazil, and he was a really, really good English teacher.
40
He just had a very nice teaching philosophy, I guess.
41
Shout out Igor if he's watching the video, I'll probably send it to him.
42
Nice.
43
The answer to your question is just all the content that I consume, or not all of it, but like 95% comes from the US, watching movies, watching YouTube videos from like the popular YouTubers.
44
That's why.
45
I lived in London for like six months-ish, five months, and I got none of the British accent.
46
It's actually a shame, I wish I had it.
47
Well, I think it's a shame.
48
A shame that our current mayor wants to waste taxpayer money on such an obvious political stunt.
49
The friend that I'm living here with now, he's from the UK and I'm always poking fun at him trying to like put on the accent but I can't.
50
We should invite him for a video.
51
It'll be fun to give him shit and to get some shit about American accent.
52
We all sound like Americans while British sounds very sophisticated. In it.
53
I am the Shermanator a Sophisticated sex robot sent back through
54
time to change the future for one lucky lady What brought you to like to the US?
55
To the US first and then you travel around quite a bit there Sometimes would be job
56
because I became a software quality assurance engineer pretty much a person who verifies the quality of Software
57
and I went for a training to Silicon Valley
58
and then I got my first job in Los Angeles I and I hated Los Angeles.
59
I thought Los Angeles.
60
It was just Traffic jams, bums or homeless folks, and the heat, and the crazy heat during the summertime.
61
No. The traffic jam is being caused by problems on the M25, the freeway that circles London.
62
But then when I moved there, when I started making money, when I started making like 80, 90, 100, 150, 20,000 dollars per year, I was like, hmm, I kind of like it.
63
When I rented more expensive apartments, that was a pleasure to live in LA.
64
I mean, it feels like whatever you you make a lot of money
65
doesn't really matter where you are you can have a really
66
good access a better life yeah what's the plot twist in your life story ah
67
so plot twist Linda's actually my mom I don't know
68
if you call it a plot twist
69
but growing up I was very much into video games yeah
70
also again one of the ways I learned English better
71
and my dream was to be a professional League of Legends
72
player League of Legends player yeah I was always very I was very competitive.
73
I was playing basketball for a while, then playing video games in general, playing Call of Duty.
74
You're a game addict.
75
Uh, not anymore, but in the past very much I was, yeah.
76
A video game addict who combined modern gamer sexism with old-timey slang.
77
Thankfully I wasn't good enough to go professional.
78
Why so?
79
Because I think I'm living a better life now doing something else, so that's the plot twist I was going to tell you, you know?
80
Oh, I see.
81
I was striving for that.
82
It didn't go as planned or like didn't go as I wanted to go.
83
If the universe is truly endless, then are we not striving for something forever out of reach?
84
But that led me to just starting to work early, freelancing, which eventually became my own business, and now that gives me the opportunity to travel and do other cool things,
85
which I think is a better life than if I was still a gaming professional.
86
Hold on!
87
If you will not hit the like button below right now, I'm going to clean up my table.
88
I'm gonna find you and...
89
You don't want that to happen.
90
So hit the like button right now and let's continue What's the real story behind the Chinese ghost town?
91
Okay, that's a great headline by the way The thing that I wrote you on WhatsApp.
92
Yeah, the story of a vigilante army taking down Escobar made for great headlines People want to look up more information.
93
There's this thing called the network store.
94
The website is ns.com It's this project that was founded by the Silicon Valley guy.
95
I don't know if you know, Balaji Srinivasan.
96
Basically, he sent this email.
97
He partnered up with Brian Johnson, the longevity guy.
98
I don't know if you know.
99
They partnered up and they sent this email being like, oh, we got an island.
100
We're looking for people who are young, ambitious, want to do like startup, longevity, whatever.
101
If you're interested, here's the link to apply.
102
We'll be in touch.
103
I take this because there's potentially some longevity benefits.
104
I did and then they got back to me.
105
It's kind of hard to explain to be fair, but the way I see it is like some sort of like startup school thing, you know, a place where you go to like lock in and there's lots of help things there.
106
There's a nice gym, there's a big community, people from all over the world.
107
It was supposed to be like a summer, like a vacation spot for Chinese people.
108
Yeah.
109
But then it ended up not going well.
110
The company went bankrupt that was developing it.
111
Oh.
112
And it was like abandoned for many years.
113
In order to stop me, you need to find me first.
114
Metro-man.
115
We're at the abandoned observatory.
116
Aha!
117
No, but not!
118
And they are now trying to bring it back up again, you know?
119
Like, redevelop...
120
It's very, very nice.
121
It's where I met all these friends that I was telling you about.
122
Interesting, you'll definitely look it up.
123
People romanticize the laptop lifestyle.
124
What's the part that they don't see but actually hurts?
125
But of course women like to romanticize about things.
126
Yes, they do, don't they?
127
Yes, they do, don't they?
128
Uh, well, I wouldn't say hurt.
129
I think that's a bit...
130
Over-exaggerated.
131
Overly exaggerated, but...
132
The competition is literally in four weeks and the routine is a complete nightmare.
133
I think you're exaggerating.
134
No, listen.
135
It's just, I guess with everything, this is a common phenomenon, but people will always see like the Instagram story.
136
Yeah.
137
Like if we're here, this is like a good, this is amazing, amazing view that we have here.
138
Your poster story, I'm in war, so it's Thursday.
139
We're like, ah, he's, you know, no one's working when they're traveling.
140
And it's very much the opposite.
141
Like yesterday, I was up until like 1 a.m working because I had to deliver some, some high five, you know?
142
You look tired.
143
It was up until about 3 a.m processing the scene.
144
But it's not bad.
145
Like, I like the work that I do.
146
I enjoy my job.
147
Exactly.
148
And so it's just, I guess, what people romanticize is this idea that it will be like traveling for tourism, but while you're working, and it's very much not that.
149
You have to be ready to work from cafes and find co-working spots and spend lots of time.
150
It's a different type of traveling.
151
Yeah.
152
If you're just used to traveling for tourism.
153
but it's also very nice because you get to discover
154
and meet like a different side of the city that you wouldn't normally do.
155
It has its upsides and downsides, but as a whole, I really, really enjoy it.
156
LLC agreements.
157
You're shitting me.
158
Being a corporate lawyer, you know, it's got its upsides.
159
It's got it.
160
Wow!
161
On the previous, one of the previous videos, I promised 100 bucks to a person who will guess my age and the age of that guy right there.
162
And nobody guessed it so far.
163
So what I've decided is on this video, if we get 400 comments, as simple as
164
that, I'm going to randomly pick a name of one of the folks who left a comment below our video, and I will send 100 bucks to no matter where you are,
165
no matter what continent, what bank account you use, I'll find a way and I'll send you 100 bucks.
166
What you have to do is simply leave a comment right below this video.
167
And what do we plan to say?
168
What you do for work and what you like about your job.
169
Tell us what you do professionally and what you like about your job.
170
And if you actually like it or not, simply leave a comment right below this video.
171
100 bucks, I promise, I will send it.
172
And on the last video, we have approximately 300 comments if I'm not mistaken.
173
So, 100 more and some of you guys will get 100 bucks.
174
What do we have here?
175
Didelphus marsupialis virginian anise.
176
Approximately 10 pounds.
177
Male.
178
One of the guys from India left 25 comments on the last video.
179
He really wants to get that 100 bucks.
180
Respect the effort.
181
Yeah.
182
Talking about money, what's the, I would say, financial difference between living a life in Brazil and in Poland?
183
Oh, it's cheaper in Brazil?
184
I'm from a very small city, so as I was telling you, I'm from Casillas do Sul, which is the second biggest city in my state.
185
So it's not as expensive.
186
Like if you go to Sao Paulo, if you go to Rio, I would say that probably the cost of living is much closer to Warsaw, or like let's call it tier two capitals in Europe.
187
But yeah, compared to where I'm from, It's just also not as many cool things to do, so you end up spending less in general, just because you might as well just stay home and watch movies.
188
That makes sense.
189
Have you already dated anyone in Poland?
190
What's the biggest difference between dates in Brazil and in Poland?
191
I dated a cricket once in San Antonio.
192
Man, those crazy legs kept me up all night.
193
Hachiiwa.
194
All right, have any conclusions based on the experiences that I've had so far?
195
Um, why are you trying to kill us?
196
It's classic villain.
197
We've seen too much.
198
Let's not jump to conclusions.
199
We don't know.
200
He's trying to kill us.
201
He's trying to kill us!
202
It's just obviously in Brazil people are much more open.
203
So I guess it's easier or like it feels more natural to walk up to someone and talk to them.
204
If you're out in a bar or in a club or something like that.
205
It's like an energy you feel from like looking at people where they're like more open, less open.
206
Exactly.
207
It makes sense.
208
It's just that.
209
Smile wise, do you see more smiles or less smiles here in Europe?
210
I don't know, much more in Brazil.
211
How many countries have you been to?
212
Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, the States, Bahamas.
213
I've been to a couple of the Caribbean islands, so maybe six.
214
France, UK, England, I don't know, maybe 15, something like that.
215
Which one did you like the most and why?
216
I really like Paris.
217
A lot of people hate on it for some reason.
218
People say it's bad, it's dirty, it's whatever.
219
I disagree, I think Paris is amazing.
220
The best one, my favorite one is Brazil.
221
Brazil, sorry enough.
222
The more you travel, the more you appreciate where you come from.
223
Enjoy and appreciate these trees while you can.
224
I appreciate Brazil much more after traveling for a while than I did when I was younger or in the past.
225
When I went to Brazil, I realized it always was country number one from even though I haven't been there.
226
And I realized it is still definitely number one.
227
What I realized is that you were right.
228
Florepa is my number one spot in Brazil.
229
If I had to pick one place in Brazil to live, it would be Florianopolis.
230
I think it's very underrated.
231
You've got a mountain on one side, sand dunes on the other side.
232
You got ocean on the next side.
233
And the fucking sunset.
234
I was like, holy fucks.
235
Yeah.
236
These aren't snow drifts.
237
They're sand dunes.
238
That was crazy.
239
By the way, you guys talking about fucks, if you notice this t-shirt that says, I haven't noticed it.
240
Oh, nice.
241
Don't give a fucks, speak English.
242
And that's our platform that I have developed for people like you from all around the world

247
This is a personal question for me.
248
Why do you like Brazil so much?
249
You said before going, you already thought it was great, and then after going, they confirmed their theories?
250
Like what is it about it that?
251
Three things.
252
Number one, people.
253
Brazilians are one of the warmest nations in the world.
254
Brazilians.
255
You say that?
256
Exactly.
257
One of the warmest and the kindest.
258
And I think that's because, generally speaking, there were not many wars, and it's one of the best climates in the world.
259
True.
260
So there is not much to be unhappy about, except the politics and the economical situation.
261
But it's a different story.
262
So mostly people are super positive.
263
They just like to drink, dance, have sex.
264
That's the entire Brazilian life.
265
That's a stereotype, but alright.
266
You can have a nice pile of bananas, alright?
267
Bananas.
268
Oh, I see.
269
Because I'm a monkey, I must love bananas, right?
270
That is a vicious stereotype. So, people...
271
You're screaming or something?
272
No, we're recording a video for the YouTube.
273
You wanna be with us?
274
Yeah.
275
What's your name, brother?
276
Maciej.
277
Maciej.
278
Nice to meet you, Maciej.
279
You're Polish, huh?
280
Yes.
281
You're a badass dude.
282
Can you guess?
283
I'll give you $100 if you will guess where I'm from from one shot. So...
284
I might lose 100 bucks.
285
Serbia.
286
Nooo, thanks guys.
287
I'm not from...
288
Was I close?
289
No. Was I close?
290
What do you do, dude?
291
You're cool.
292
I have this skateboard deck.
293
Huh?
294
My friend on Sunday, we had a golf skateboarding day, like international skating day, you know.
295
And he was going downhill and he hit with his head with a metal pole.
296
Oh shit and here's right now in coma in the Rostock.
297
And we are rapidly approaching Glacier Gulch, which just happens to be the steepest downhill frame in the world.
298
I suggest we all hold on tightly.
299
We have this deck.
300
We're getting it signed by very famous Polish rappers and we were giving it to the auction.
301
To the auction.
302
Yeah.
303
To sell it.
304
Yes.
305
Yes.
306
And there all the money goes to treatment
307
that is irrelevant the highest number has supremacy you've clearly never
308
been to an auction that's tit for tat that's exactly how
309
the situation in the middle east began right now i think we have like hundred thousand zlotties
310
but we're going for three hundred thousand dang do you want
311
to share your information with me i'm going to leave it right below this video
312
and also i'll chip in Yeah, I know.
313
Thank you very much.
314
Thank you, brother.
315
You're doing great thing.
316
I need to go for this.
317
Thank you so much for your time.
318
Thank you.
319
You're cool, brother.
320
I think it's good for you, brother.
321
Cool Polish folks.
322
Yeah, that's what I love about this country.
323
The people are, they look tough, but they're very kind inside.
324
We had one of the sessions recently.
325
There were three guys from Poland and they were like, all of them were like huge dudes.
326
And I asked them, yo, guys, are you all that big in Poland?
327
Or am I just lucky to get three of you guys here?
328
They're and they're laughing the like kind of smirking or smiling.
329
They're like well when I go to gym I usually feel like I'm the smallest one Well, I don't want to go to your gym there.
330
I can see you smirking in there X-ray vision that is very true.
331
I was so surprised like it caught me off guard But so many big guys here like big guys.
332
Yeah, he's huge.
333
Yeah So you've been doing a lot of things throughout your life.
334
What's the skill that paid off way later?
335
I thought it was a big risk, but...
336
It's a big risk, but it paid off.
337
It's kind of my motto.
338
I don't know if you know the guys from the YouTube channel Yes Theory.
339
They were more popular a while back, but they have lots of videos where it's just like spontaneous things
340
and inviting the Uber driver to go skydiving or something like that.
341
You know those crazy?
342
And it's like Yes Theory because it's like the more you say yes to like spontaneous, like adventurous things, the more cool things happen in your life.
343
And I guess that's been a big one.
344
Their motto, like their brand is called Seek Discomfort.
345
Uh, so just trying out different experiences.
346
I'm Brazilian, so it's, it's that like, yeah, we're all a bit, uh, extroverted, but I feel I'm a bit uncomfortable right now.
347
You know, like we're being people who are noticing us and walking around and not speaking to my mother tongue.
348
So like all those things, but it's been very nice.
349
And so who knows what can come out of an experience like this, you know?
350
So just saying yes to lots of different things.
351
Well, that'll be fine.
352
Cause I really think the second half, it's just more about what can come out.
353
You said you've tracked your mood
354
and daily habits for a thousand days on a roll and you still do it now in Notion.
355
Are you obsessed with patterns or what's the drill here?
356
I'm so obsessed with the idea of being in love that I just, it's like I completely lose myself.
357
Actually like basic story, I guess there's this guy, I don't know if you know him, Matt D'Avella on YouTube.
358
He's a filmmaker.
359
He produced the minimalist documentary.
360
Oh, yes.
361
Famous back in the day.
362
A little over a thousand days ago, he posted a video that was talking about how he tracked his mood for 30 days.
363
Yeah.
364
And I thought the idea was really nice to like track your daily habits and track I felt good today, I felt a bit anxious,
365
I felt very energized and then try and like match the patterns you know.
366
There's no need to be anxious, you'll do fine.
367
So on days that I don't exercise maybe I feel a bit more anxious, on days that I do cardio maybe I feel more generally happy.
368
Now it's become a habit to do it every day
369
but it's very very nice
370
and I also feel like it's a great tool for grounding you in reality
371
so sometimes you'll be having like a horrible like couple of days
372
but then you look back
373
and you're like oh the past couple weeks have been very nice
374
and it just helps you be grateful for like life is actually really good you know exactly to appreciate your life
375
one downside of Warsaw for everyone lots of ambulances fire trucks I don't know why it is so loud
376
I want to get some water and I'm getting hungry already yeah don't get some food But I could use some water.
377
What?
378
Just because I could just use some water because I get thirsty.
379
They all speak English.
380
I wonder how many percent of Polish people speak English?
381
Excuse me lady, do you speak English?
382
Perfect, are you Polish?
383
How many percent of Polish people speak English?
384
Depends on the city, I would say.
385
More so, most people mostly speak English, but other people it depends.
386
Not really, I would say.
387
Most, right?
388
Yes.
389
Nice, that's cool.
390
Thank you, appreciate it.
391
Hi there.
392
Hey, can I get two waters?
393
Sure, can we just take it from here or?
394
Oh, you're from each.
395
I prefer from here.
396
Me too, yeah, Nashua is better.
397
I got you, I got you.
398
Oh, thanks man.
399
Yeah, no worries.
400

- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: assurance /əˈʃʊɹəns/, vicious /ˈvɪʃəs/, ambitious /æmˈbɪʃ.əs/, shout /ʃaʊt/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: exaggerate /ɛɡˈzæd͡ʒ.ə.ɹeɪt/, romanticize /roʊˈmæntɪsaɪz/, longevity /lɒnˈd͡ʒɛv.ɪ.ti/, stereotype /ˈstɛ.ɹi.əˌtaɪp/, spontaneous /spɑnˈteɪ.ni.əs/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: nomad /ˈnoʊmæd/, romanticize /roʊˈmæntɪsaɪz/, skateboard /ˈskeɪt.bɔɹd/, downside /ˈdaʊnˌsaɪd/, strive /ˈstɹaɪv/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: nomad /ˈnoʊmæd/, exaggerate /ɛɡˈzæd͡ʒ.ə.ɹeɪt/, romanticize /roʊˈmæntɪsaɪz/, banana /bəˈnænə/, addict /ˈæd.ɪkt/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: exaggerate /ɛɡˈzæd͡ʒ.ə.ɹeɪt/, disagree /dɪsəˈɡɹi/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als buck, nomad, exaggerate.
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.
