Shadowing Practice: Learn English while I go to a coffee shop ☕️ - Learn English Speaking with Video

Good morning everybody!

I am staying at a beautiful villa and today we are going to learn English using the world around us.

So what's the plan?

Well the plan is I'm going to go to a coffee shop right now.

I have my rucksack or my backpack on my back.

I'm ready, we're going to go do some work.

After that I'm gonna come back here to this villa and show you guys around this beautiful place.

There is a gorgeous pool and it's actually right by the beach so we'll see that later.

I'm excited.

Let's go on the walk and of course learn loads of English.

Look this is a hedge and the hedge is running parallel to the alleyway.

I am walking down an alleyway or a lane or a path.

Down here is a narrow alley.

Narrow.

So my right is a yellow building.

Up there is a balcony where people can stand and look out.

Today the sky is very cloudy.

You can say cloudy or overcast.

Here we have some beautiful red flowers coming from this tree.

The flowers are sprouting from the tree.

There is a man riding past on a yellow motorbike.

Let's keep going.

This is a cart.

There are wheels on the cart and lots of different things.

This is a box.

This looks like an old gas hob or a cooker.

This is a ladder.

Hello!

And that motorbike is pulling the cart.

The man is putting cushions on the motorbike.

This is an entrance to that yellow villa or building.

To my right here, there is art on the wall.

And we call this a mural.

What does this art mean?

Always ask questions.

Above my head there are trees.

So this tree here with the spiky leaves is called a palm tree.

And the one next to it with the long leaves is called a banana tree,

which gives us bananas.

Lovely.

Down here we have a motorbike.

there is a white helmet on the motorbike.

This is the license plate.

These are the tires, the rubber parts,

and inside are the rims.

This is the engine of the motorbike.

These are the handlebars, and this,

hello, is the wing mirror.

One more thing about the motorbike or the scooter,

this is the brake and you pull the brake which stops the bike.

These are the headlights which help you to see when it's dark.

Right now it's not dark,

it is actually very cloudy.

When it's cloudy like this it's common for us to say it's overcast.

The weather today is overcast.

It's.. the sun is actually peeking through the clouds over there,

so hopefully, fingers crossed, it's going to be sunny later

when we get back to the villa so I can take a dip in the pool.

Lovely.

Before I mentioned street art, this is called graffiti.

Graffiti is when somebody writes letters on the wall in this style.

This is graffiti.

There is a motorbike.

That motorbike just passed me and to my left here are some posters.

The posters are stuck on the wall.

Somebody came and stuck them to the wall.

The posters are advertising, live music.

Different types of musicians perhaps playing in this area.

I love music so maybe I'll go see. Who knows.

There is a car coming down the narrow alley.

Xin chào.

And he just looked at me funny so maybe I shouldn't have filmed him but you can't please everybody.

All right let's keep going.

That is a grab driver, very common in Vietnam.

The grab drivers deliver your food to you or deliver other things to you.

A delivery driver we say in the UK.

Now I'm on the main road.

So this is the main road behind me and there is traffic going past me.

There's a boy on a pushbike and then there are people on a motorbike.

On the side of the road here we have the pavement.

This is the pavement or sidewalk as they say in US and this is the road.

So I'm gonna continue to walk along the road but first, best spa.

That is a spa where you get a massage.

Somebody rubs your back your head,

your hands, your feet and it helps you to relax.

I like to get massages because I work a lot

so it's nice for somebody to rub me to feel relaxed, feel relieved.

Again there is another motorbike which is towing a cart.

The cart is attached to the back of the motorbike and the motorbike would tow that cart.

Hey, here we have a little dog.

All right, she's not interested in me.

I've arrived at a little shop,

tapois, which I think is just like a mini mart

or we can also say convenience store or in the UK we actually say a corner shop,

which is like a small shop that sells confectionery items,

crisps, chocolates and other stuff.

These are called crisps.

Crisps.

And this is a packet of crisps.

100

This is my wallet.

101

I'm opening my wallet and taking out my card.

102

I won't show you that because it's secret.

103

So I have my debit card.

104

I'm inserting my card into the slot.

105

This is the slot.

106

This light is...

107

No, it's not flashing anymore.

108

Okay, what does it say on the screen?

109

There is my name, Jay Gudo.

110

I want to choose English, please.

111

Continue.

112

Okay, it says, please enter your PIN.

113

Your PIN is your unique code.

114

And this is the keypad where I enter my PIN.

115

I'm not going to tell you what it is because that is secret.

116

This is where my cache is coming out.

117

Taking my card.

118

My cash is coming out.

119

These are bank notes and we call them cash.

120

So cash is physical money.

121

Got my cash.

122

I am sweating.

123

I'm very hot.

124

Hello.

125

Always waving to people.

126

Okay, I'm walking under the shade of the tree now.

127

So it's kind of dark because I'm in the shade,

128

which is nice, it's cool in the shade.

129

Now I'm in the sun again and it's bright and it's very hot and sweaty.

130

But I'm grateful because the sun has come out and I love the sun.

131

Anyway, I can see the cafe.

132

It's right here.

133

I'm here.

134

I have arrived.

135

So I'm gonna go inside and meet my girlfriend Chang.

136

I'll introduce you.

137

Bikini bottom, like SpongeBob's home.

138

Okay, I'm walking through the entrance and into the cafe.

139

Where is Chang?

140

She's not there.

141

There she is.

142

Okay, this is my lovely girlfriend, Chang.

143

Say hello.

144

All right, now she sat at one table and we need to move the tables together.

145

So we'll do that now.

146

It's not as heavy as I thought.

147

There we go.

148

I just pushed the tables together.

149

I moved them together.

150

So I can sit next to her.

151

Right, now I need a menu.

152

I found a menu.

153

Look at that.

154

Put you on the table.

155

What do we have here?

156

This is a box with napkins inside.

157

Tissue paper.

158

This is a pot with a fork and a knife.

159

We call those cutlery.

160

This is a bottle of tomato sauce or ketchup.

161

My drink has just arrived.

162

So this is the menu where I order the food.

163

And I'll open it up.

164

Inside you can see all the different types of food.

165

Chang, can you hold that?

166

So, okay, Chang is holding it down so the menu doesn't fall.

167

Inside here we have the breakfast menu.

168

I turn the page.

169

There are some burgers here.

170

And usually at the back of the menu there are cocktails,

171

cheeky, beer, and the drinks.

172

Juice, tea, smoothies, wine, and more drinks.

173

But I would like some food.

174

So I open the front,

175

and I think I want avocado is life.

176

The fan is blowing my hair.

177

My hair is blowing in the wind.

178

The music is quite loud,

179

so I hope you can hear me.

180

This is a glass.

181

In the glass, I have some juice.

182

And this is a straw.

183

I sip from the straw.

184

I just sipped my juice.

185

It tastes delicious.

186

It's a very hot day,

187

so this juice is really refreshing.

188

It's cooling me down.

189

It's making me feel good.

190

And that fan is also cooling me down.

191

As you can see, look at that forehead vein.

192

Whoa.

193

There's some new vocabulary for you.

194

A vein.

195

That vein is really prominent in my forehead.

196

You can see it very clearly because it's hot.

197

All right.

198

I'm just waiting for the food.

199

And after the food, I'm going to do a little bit of work.

200

And then we're going to head back to the villa to see the pool and chill out.

201

I think the food is coming.

202

Come on.

203

Thank you.

204

The food has arrived.

205

These are poached eggs.

206

The poached eggs are on avocado,

207

smashed avocado, which we call guacamole.

208

And that is on some sourdough toast, toasted bread.

209

This is a wedge of lime.

210

We have some pickled onions and some diced tomato and onion,

211

which we call pico de gallo.

212

Delicious.

213

I'm going to dig into this now.

214

I'm going to begin eating.

215

So I'll see you guys on the other side of a full belly belly.

216

Well, I just finished my breakfast.

217

My plate is empty.

218

I wolfed it down.

219

I ate it very fast.

220

And now I'm feeling pleasantly full.

221

I'm not stuffed.

222

I'm pleasantly full.

223

I'm nicely full.

224

So, I think it's time for me to get out my laptop and do some work for the morning.

225

This is my big fat backpack or rucksack.

226

Remember the word from earlier.

227

And these are the zips or this is the zip.

228

I'm unzipping my rucksack

229

and in this compartment at the back you can see my laptop

230

so I'm taking out my laptop

231

and I shall put my bag over there I have my

232

beautiful Apple Mac laptop I'm opening I'm using my laptop and this is the trackpad.

233

This is the keyboard where I type.

234

My laptop recognizes my fingerprint so I use my fingerprint to unlock the laptop.

235

This is the screen and this is the webcam at the top.

236

Two thousand years later.

237

We have just left the cafe.

238

Bikini Bottom.

239

SpongeBob's home.

240

And now we are walking home.

241

Chang and I are walking back to the villa.

242

The weather now is bright and sunny.

243

It's a glorious day, as we say in England.

244

And the sky is blue.

245

There is barely a cloud in the sky.

246

It's very hot.

247

Very hot.

248

We can say boiling.

249

It's absolutely boiling.

250

So thankfully, it's a very short walk back to the villa.

251

I am walking on the road.

252

Chang is walking on the pavement.

253

We are walking next to each other.

254

She's on the pavement.

255

I'm on the road.

256

The shade.

257

I love the shade.

258

265

266

Here you can see people playing mini golf.

267

So we're walking down this alleyway again,

268

down this lane or path.

269

Here is the wall that we passed earlier with the graffiti on once more.

270

The wall art or street art.

A chicken.

276

The inside is called the starman.

277

279

The type of blue is cerulean blue and there,

280

once again, is a banana leaf.

281

The motorbike is zooming past.

282

Well, we have arrived back at the villa and I'm ready to take a dip in the pool.

283

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.
