Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel.

In this video we're going to talk about how you can practice English by yourself at home.

You don't need a speaking partner and you definitely don't need a native English speaker around you.

Loki is here with me as a guest of this video

because he will be in the video later and decided to join me right now for the intro as well.

There are a lot of English speaking activities you can do by yourself

but today specifically we're going to talk about how to narrate

or how to describe your day or every single action that you're taking.

For example, we're going to talk about my morning routine today.

First thing on the list, feeding this guy.

Okay, it's 8am, so it's time to feed our dog his breakfast.

Now I have to take his food out of the cupboard.

He has three types of food.

This is one of the types.

The second type of his food is a different type of kibbles.

I'm going to scoop out this much, about a third of this scoop, and then I'm going to pour this into his bowl.

And then for his third type of food, he gets wet food, which is in the fridge.

So I'm going to take this out of the fridge.

And now, time for the show.

We have to get this guy excited.

Do you want some food?

Yeah?

Do you want some food? if you wanna get a taste.

I also talk to our pets in English because why not?

Okay, you wanna sit?

Sit.

Good boy.

Good boy, wow, that's so delicious, right?

We're gonna put one full spoon into his bowl first and then we're gonna give him a little bit more.

Okay, Lucky, do you want some more?

Sit.

Bless you.

Sit.

Give me pa.

Thank you.

Give me pa.

Thank you okay one good boy Loki who's ready for some

food Loki are you ready for some food oh my goodness we have to do a little dance

so he gets excited yeah you excited enjoy okay now

that the dog has eaten he knows that it's time for his walk

so he is patiently waiting for us to get outside okay

so we have some oh my goodness we're going for a walk

so we're putting his leash on

and he likes to play like this he likes to nip us

and chew our hands every time we do this he wants the harness on

but then pretends that he doesn't his tail is wiggling

which means he's happy

and excited good boy a really good indicator of his mood yes

you ready to go are you ready to go okay

so i am now putting on my shoes my dirty white shoes

that are full of sand okay let's go okay so we got out of the house

When you go outside, feel free to describe your neighborhood, the houses, you don't have to talk out loud,

or you can have headphones in and pretend

that you're on the phone with someone and just describe what you see around you.

So like I said, sometimes when you want to talk about exactly what you're doing in the moment,

you're going to think that these are very, very simple words.

These are actions that you do every single day, but in the moment you don't have them as part of your active vocabulary.

So that's why every single time you do something, you're going to rotate these words and you're going to say them.

And every time you say them out loud or in your mind, you refresh them.

So the next time you actually need them, when you speak to someone, you will have them ready to go.

OK, so can you see over there those sun rays?

They're so beautiful.

And again, when you're out on your walk, make sure you describe what you see around you.

There is a beautiful bush that has blossomed into these little orange flowers.

So as you notice, Dan and I speak English to each other, what, 80 % of the time, I think?

Because sometimes it just, I don't know, the situation fits better.

But we also started doing that to just maintain our English level.

That's why we speak to Loki in English too, although his owners are also English speakers.

We speak Romanian, I think, when we want to speak really fast, right?

We want to speak in code when somebody wouldn't understand.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, or in code.

Okay, so this is a very quiet part of the neighborhood.

As you can see, I think this whole place is abandoned.

It looks like it.

I don't know.

Maybe it's not.

But this path takes you to the beach.

We're going to see a golf course, some cliffs, and really big waves, I'm guessing.

So again, see, I'm on a walk.

I'm just talking constantly about what I'm seeing, what I'm about to see,

why I'm here, what's going on around me.

That is the absolute best way to practice your passive vocabulary.

And your task is not just to listen to me and move on, okay?

Your task is to watch me, see how I'm doing it, and then the next time you're on a walk, you do it yourself.

Because I cannot put words into your brain, right?

You have to be the one rotating them in your own vocabulary bank.

We're going to go back home.

We're going to make some breakfast.

I'm going to show you how you can narrate the things you do during your breakfast.

If you are getting closer to some sort of intersection, you want to practice your direction giving, you know, go straight, go to the left,

go to the right, turn left, turn right.

As you say these things, you get more and more comfortable saying these exact expressions.

Okay so now we're walking on the side of the road so we have to be careful about the cars passing by.

He just stopped to sniff this one lamppost and he's been sniffing at it for like 30 seconds now.

He's profiling some dogs that peed there probably.

Look at his fluffy tail just standing in the wind.

Loki wants to cross so we are crossing.

Loki where are you going?

Loki is trying to decide which way to go.

100

Let's go boy.

101

So a lot of the times even expressions like let's go

102

or let's do this they have to come so naturally

103

so you don't have to think about them

104

when you say let's go right because you already have them available to you right away. So

105

if I say to my dog let's go let's go let's go let's go a million times a day

106

then this becomes kind of my perfected tongue twisters let's go let's go let's go let's go.

107

If you have expressions like we're not doing this right now, we're not doing this right now, I'm not doing this right now.

108

You want to say that also quickly

109

because there's no point in you stopping at every single expression you want to say to think about which word,

110

which tense, how do I conjugate this verb, which person, does it need an S,

111

does it not, and have all these unnecessary questions that slow you down.

112

But if you say these expressions over and over and over throughout your day, every day, then you get super comfortable with them.

113

Okay, let's go.

114

We're not doing this right now.

115

Do you see the ocean there?

116

Let's go, buddy.

117

So this is cobblestone in Portugal.

118

Most of their sidewalks are made of cobblestone like this.

119

And it's a little bit annoying to walk on because it's uneven.

120

You know, it's not flat.

121

It's uneven in so there's these corners sticking out

122

and you can trip over them and fall down especially

123

if they're wet so again i really want to emphasize this

124

and make sure

125

that you understand this is me showing you how to do it okay ultimately you are the one

126

that has to do it i'm just showing you

127

that it's very very simple and it's very accessible it's free and you get to practice english without a speaking partner,

128

without a native English speaker that most of you think you need in order to practice English, but as you can see, you don't.

129

And a lot of us have a very, very, very large passive vocabulary, which means that we understand a lot around us,

130

but we cannot speak the same way.

131

And that is simply because the words that you understand are not practiced enough, so they're not readily available to you.

132

You just kind of consume a lot and you understand a lot

133

but you don't get to practice that and this is a way of doing that.

134

Look at those clouds.

135

They look pretty scary.

136

Loki has very long fur as you can see and very dense so he does not get cold ever.

137

If anything this guy is probably always hot.

138

There's four or three golf courses in this area

139

and a lot of people who purchased these homes are also golf players

140

so when they come on vacation here they don't have to travel far to go play golf

141

and they also have their own homes here they all made friends here

142

so it's a really nice community of wealthy people Loki

143

and Dan are a little bit slower than me because Loki's stopping at every single bush and lamppost to sniff and pee.

144

So there's a tiny little green slash park area here and it's so pretty.

145

Look.

146

So Loki likes to go and check who else was here.

147

It's very well maintained.

148

See the grass is freshly cut and all these trees are neatly shaped.

149

So we're not allowed to go on private properties.

150

Obviously sometimes they're like right next to the street

151

so we have to be careful about that but this I believe is public.

152

So Loki let's go.

153

Good boy Loki.

154

Good boy.

155

He's so beautiful.

156

The wind is getting stronger for sure.

157

It's 17 degrees but it feels warm.

158

Like I'm overdressed right now.

159

Dan is underdressed.

160

I think I always carry an extra jacket just in case he gets really cold.

161

I can give him my jacket.

162

okay so we are approaching look how blue

163

that water is surprisingly this house is super modern do you see that's the pathway we're going to take

164

and look at those massive agave plants look at

165

that water this is crazy and look how big these plants are this could poke an eye in a second

166

So this rope over here is to prevent us from going forward because these hills are unstable.

167

Look how crazy the sky looks.

168

And all the way there, there are a few golf courses.

169

And these are different hotels, different beach properties.

170

Also, it's been really windy this whole walk.

171

And I got this new mic from Rode.

172

I'm gonna see at home how well it picks up the sound

173

but it's so windy I really hope you guys can hear me

174

so we're pet sitting here in this small community in Portugal that's why we have Loki the husky with us

175

and this is where we come for a walk

176

and then on sunny days we go down to the beach actually

177

but right now I think the water is getting a little bit too close to the shore

178

so we're just gonna stay up here on the cliff uh this is the atlantic ocean

179

and is very turbulent right now

180

because i'm guessing there's some sort of um storm somewhere i don't know

181

and the ground is wet here

182

because i think there's a stream coming from somewhere it's always wet in this portion of the walk

183

so if you have an area somewhere around your house where you can just walk

184

and be by yourself and just speak as much as you can about everything.

185

Oh my god, it's so windy.

186

This is the perfect opportunity because you need to put yourself in a position where

187

you could imitate speaking to somebody, you know?

188

Recording yourself is another great way of doing that because then you can go home and watch the way you speak.

189

I know it's very uncomfortable and awkward at first

190

but you get used to it and then you can analyze your speech

191

and improve and notice your melody your tone your rhythm connected speech is very important

192

so highly recommend so this used to be a boardwalk

193

that would go all the way down but I think there was a landslide

194

and a piece of it fell so you can only go

195

that far and that's it maybe we can we need to stop look how beautiful the beach is

196

so sometimes we go all the way down there

197

when the water is a little bit further away look at those waves

198

and the foam it's

199

so windy like it's hard for me to stand look at the horizon line

200

that is the horizon see how the green of the water

201

and the blue of the sky merge together and there's

202

that like darker line at the bottom i think dan is giving Loki some water.

203

Loki some water.

204

Good boy.

205

We got a container from home and a bottle of water because he gets a little thirsty on walks.

206

He's fine.

207

We don't have to give it to him but he appreciates it when we do.

208

He'll go find any puddle and drink from it but this guy is drinking filtered water or boiled water all the time.

209

Okay so we are on our way back but it's starting to rain so we're just going to run for it.

210

Let's go.

211

Okay we're back from our walk.

212

It's raining outside and we're gonna make some breakfast and I'm going to describe everything I'm doing.

213

So I'm gonna make a smoothie bowl.

214

I have my blender cup.

215

Is this a blender cup?

216

I guess it is.

217

I'm going to use a little bit of my leftover chia pudding.

218

We're gonna use some chocolate pea protein powder, some bananas, an apple, what else?

219

Half of this beautiful mango and I have some dates soaking in water here.

220

What else?

221

Peanut butter and some almond milk.

222

Okay so I'm gonna peel the banana, I'm gonna break it into small pieces and drop it into the blender cup.

223

I just washed this apple and I'm probably going to use only half of it.

224

So I'm going to cut it in half and then, well, this is not really half.

225

I'm gonna cut a little bit more and then I'm just going to slice it in the cup as well.

226

I did just find this piece of apple that was in my fridge.

227

So I'm going to add that in there too.

228

Nothing is going to waste in this house.

229

I'm going to take the dates out of the water and I'm gonna squeeze them a little bit.

230

Ew, that's gross and put them into the blender.

231

I have a little piece of a lemon.

232

I would say about a quarter of a lemon.

233

I'm going to squeeze it into the mix.

234

Then I'm going to wash this mango as well.

235

And I'm going to slice it in half.

236

Look at this.

237

It's so beautiful.

238

Oh, it smells so good.

239

I don't think it's very ripe.

240

Usually it's a lot more yellow, but it is what it is.

241

Oh, look.

242

Oh my God.

243

It's so juicy.

244

My favorite part, because it's so sweet

245

and I cannot just throw it out mango is one of my favorite fruit

246

because it's so flavorful and aromatic okay this is what we have

247

so far look how beautiful this mix is next

248

we're going to add our protein powder

249

i have a very fine pea protein powder chocolate flavored we're going to do one scoop

250

and another scoop the leftover chia seed pudding, one tablespoon of peanut butter, and then a little bit of almond milk.

251

I'm almost out of this one so I have a backup.

252

This is the one we use for coffee.

253

Okay so this is what you're doing.

254

You're just talking about what you're doing, what you're looking at, everything.

255

I'm going to pour some milk and some more milk into this and then we go blend.

256

Okay very important thing put your lid on first before

257

you put this thing on the machine okay on the blender

258

because you never know how that thing is going to turn on

259

and then it's going to be all over your walls

260

and ceiling so okay this is secured it's not moving

261

so we're gonna place it on the blender we're gonna make sure it clicks

262

so it's safe and secure and then we blend

263

sometimes if there's anything stuck on the walls of the cup you want to go in

264

and scrape it off protein powder or peanut butter could get stuck on the walls

265

so you just scrape it off

266

and push it into the smoothie

267

it's also always good to keep a hand on the lid just in case

268

it flies off I'm also in somebody else's home so I don't really know exactly how all the appliances work you know.

269

Okay I think we're done now it's time to plate our smoothie bowls.

270

I'm going to pour my smoothie into a bowl.

271

It's really good.

272

I want to garnish it with something so let's see what we can find.

273

Okay we're gonna use some pecans so I'm just going to crush a few pecans on top of the smoothie.

274

I'm just crushing them with my fingers

275

and then i'm going to add a little bit of hemp

276

hearts just a sprinkle although i do like hemp hearts i would eat them by the spoon

277

and then just a little sprinkle of chia seeds just for the color

278

because typically you'd want to soak them in water okay

279

and then i just want to be fancy so i'm going to do a little garnish with

280

the mango we have to eat this mango

281

this is the fancy garnish that I should hey at least I washed it

282

so the English lesson continues

283

I'm taking the mango out of this food bowl your bowl is intact hold on let me wash it that's

284

so funny okay and then I'm gonna take some mango

285

and put it on top of the smoothie bowl just a little bit of color nothing too crazy

286

this is a good example of how sometimes you just have to speak english in very unpredictable situations

287

and you have to keep going you know you can't just stop

288

and switch to your native language you just have to keep going

289

it's pretty cute right compared to this one breakfast is ready do you want a coffee

290

i already have my coffee but dan is going to have another one.

291

Okay so if you want to narrate how you're making your coffee you can also do

292

that even if it's as simple as making an espresso.

293

So I'm taking the carton out of the rack and I'm taking a pod oh I'm so clumsy today.

294

I'm taking a pod out and I am going to insert it into the pod slot.

295

Boom just like that.

296

Turn the machine on and then I'm going to make sure

297

that the machine has enough water over here

298

which I don't think it does

299

so I'm going to add a little bit more water

300

then I'm going to put a cup underneath the coffee dispenser here

301

and I'm just going to click on this little screen lungo

302

because that's what we like to drink I'm going to press play

303

yummy the smell is amazing Loki where are you going in the rain do you like the rain

304

Oh my goodness, do you want to come inside, boy?

305

Come in.

306

Good boy, Loki, good boy.

307

Okay, but now you're soaking wet.

308

Oh my goodness, you're so wet.

309

Good boy, Loki.

310

Good boy.

311

The tricky part about this activity and why it's so useful is

312

that at the first glance or when you first hear about it, you think it's very simple.

313

It's very easy.

314

It's like talking about your day -to -day life, talking about eating and drinking and brushing your teeth could be simple enough, right?

315

But the second you start actually describing what you're doing in as much detail as possible,

316

you realize that you actually understand a lot more than what you can use,

317

which means that your passive vocabulary is a lot larger than your active vocabulary.

318

You understand a lot around you, you consume a lot of English, but you don't produce enough English.

319

I want you to keep in mind three things.

320

Number one, this method is meant to help you gain confidence with the knowledge you already have

321

and show you the areas

322

that you need to improve number two

323

you will be making a lot of mistakes nobody's there to correct you there's no teacher around you

324

and that's okay

325

and that's what this activity is supposed to be we're not learning grammar right

326

now we're not trying to perfect our grammar we're trying to produce english

327

and practice the expressions and the words that you already have in your mind as a passive vocabulary.

328

And number three, a lot of the times you will not know the exact word that you need in the moment.

329

Okay.

330

And that's fine.

331

What you need to do is not freeze and not stop trying to remember that perfect exact word.

332

What you got to do is just continue describing the word.

333

If you forget the word, say what it does.

334

If you don't know what the word is, describe what it does or what it looks like.

335

You're such a good boy.

336

You like the massage?

337

It's so good.

338

Yeah, I like it too.

339

And that's it, you guys.

340

This is how you practice English by yourself.

341

I'm going to be doing more of this kind of video, so if you want to keep watching them,

342

keep learning how you can practice English by yourself, make sure you subscribe, and I will see you next time.

343

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.
