Shadowing Practice: Learn English without even studying - Learn English Speaking with Video

Today I'm going to show you how to ask and answer 30 everyday English questions whilst having a lovely British picnic.

Enjoy!

All over my laptop.

Nice.

Question number one.

How are you?

I mean, yeah, I'm doing pretty well.

The sun is out.

I'm having a picnic, so I can't really complain, to be honest with you.

Question two.

Have you been up too much today?

Oh, you know, the usual stuff.

I woke up, went to the shop, bought some picnic supplies, came home, prepared the picnic, and here we are.

Question number three.

I need to eat.

Cool.

So what do we have for today's picnic then?

I'm very glad you asked.

So let me give you a quick tour.

So firstly, we have the sandwiches, of course.

Then we have some olives in a little green cardboard bowl thing.

We then have some crisps in another cardboard bowl.

Some strawberries.

These are essential to any British picnic.

Some beer, of course, some Prosecco, some chocolate digestives.

I managed to find McVitties, which are very authentic, as you can see from the GB flag there.

Some Haribo.

This weird thing.

Not really too sure what this is, but I thought it looked quite picnic-y, so I decided to get it.

Some Scottish shortbread and some cheese strings.

and if you know about cheese strings then well you really are British

and of course no picnic would be complete without the blanket.

Question number four how often do you cook?

Well breakfast of course every morning I tend to have the same thing oats,

protein powder, chopped up bananas and milk I don't know

if you can call that cooking but you know to me it is kind of cooking.

For lunch I normally go out and have some I don't know, sushi or something like that.

And for dinner, I cook every night and I have chicken salad.

Yeah, so two kind of fake meals a day, but still cooking nonetheless.

And of course, I cooked this picnic up, right?

This counts as cooking.

Are you watching anything good on Netflix at the moment?

I'm not really a Netflixer, to be honest.

I don't actually think I have an account.

I love olives so much I probably prefer green olives

but there is definitely a time and a place for black olives as well Yeah, I don't really watch Netflix I normally watch YouTube

or if I were to watch some Netflix I'd re-watch something I've already seen

so I like comedies and if I were to watch something on Netflix it would probably be Peep Show

and Beep Show is a very good British comedy so I definitely recommend watching that.

It's actually free if you live in the UK you can go on BBC iPlayer

and if not you'll be able to find it on Netflix.

Cool, sorry to interrupt but I'm seeing some great vocabulary pop up on the screen how will I remember it?

That is a really good question.

Luckily all of the vocab

that you see popping up on the screen will be included in a completely free pdf

and the link to

that is in the top comment enjoy do you think england is a hard place to live in

these sandwiches are so good very authentic ham brown bread cucumber mayo

there are ants everywhere though oh well do i think england is a good place to live

yeah I do there are some pros and cons though

so firstly you kind of have to know English

and unfortunately being okay at English isn't really as appreciated as it should be

so for example if you come to another country like

if you went to Spain or Argentina

and you spoke a bit of Spanish they would give you a lot of praise

and you would get the recognition you deserve for actually going out of your way to learn the second language.

The same with pretty much any other language apart from French, obviously, but any other language apart from French and English.

So even though it's extremely hard to learn English, if you come to the UK and your English is passable,

not enough people will congratulate you on that and give you the praise you deserve actually learning a hard language.

So you have to learn English really you need to be somewhat competent in speaking English

but you won't really get the praise you deserve for doing so.

So that's one thing, sorry about that.

But British people are polite so that is we are nice.

You do see some negative things on social media about the UK it's so depressing.

I think part of that is the weather.

The weather is quite bad but

when it is sunny everyone is in such a brilliant mood

and in general British people are really nice so I wouldn't worry about that.

Can be quite expensive but

if you get a job in the UK then that's fine it kind of compensates for

that and of course it does depend on where you live.

Oh my god.

strawberries so nice but in general i think i don't think it's

that hard to live in the uk i think once you

get settled we'll talk a bit later on about how to meet people

but there are reasons that

so many people move to the uk it's a nice place

to live very nice air quality that's one thing i will say

and loads and loads of parks so i'm in japan at at the moment

and it was an ordeal trying to find a park where I could film this video.

I'm actually back at the Dia Park which just goes to show how few parks there are in Japan.

I had to come all the way back here but it's all good.

You won't have that problem in England.

Do you like traveling?

Yes of course I do.

Have you been to Japan before?

So I've been to Japan two times before this.

This is my third time.

The first time was just in Tokyo for like five days so I didn't really get the proper feel for it.

100

The second time was for two months this was about two years ago

101

but this is the first time that I've kind of lived here

102

so I've been here for three months in the same place

103

so i'm guessing it's a different experience right um

104

so yeah i do like it here i know it's very boring

105

because a lot of people go to japan

106

and talk about japan how amazing it is all this stuff

107

how bad it is normally the former to be honest

108

so i'm not gonna spend this isn't like a japanese video okay this is a british picnic video

109

but i like it here

110

so yeah where will you go to where will you go

111

to next sorry these asahis are doing their job one second

112

so i really want to go to kazakhstan after this not really too sure why it's a very different vibe

113

the nature there is beautiful is

114

that sweat i'm actually sweating already is it hot in kazakhstan am i going to be okay it's hot here

115

but i fear that kazakhstan may be even hotter anyway

116

yeah i'd like to go there i also love the accent

117

you can see a deer there there you are a wild deer you don't get

118

that in england

119

so yeah um kazakhstan there'll be some good i'll be able

120

to get some good content in kazakhstan as well a lot of interesting adventures

121

and walk and talks and newsletters and stuff like that

122

so it's for the for the best what is your favorite place

123

that that you've been to

124

so i'd say maybe buenos eros amazing food good vibes good nature just a really nice city argentinian people are

125

so so nice as well vancouver i loved vancouver i was only there for like five days

126

so i can't really it's hard to say what it's like living there

127

but i had such a good time there the nature is stunning

128

and they also have i think vancouver has a very nice there's an incredible butterfly there.

129

Has a great mix of nature and like city life stuff going on. And Osaka.

130

I like Osaka a lot.

131

The only thing I'd say about Osaka is there isn't much nature in Osaka.

132

So you have to travel for about an hour, an hour and a half to get to places like this.

133

But you know, It's not that big of a deal.

134

I think British people are spoiled when it comes to nature

135

because we have these parks everywhere and they're so nice as well.

136

Okay.

137

What do you miss about England?

138

The parks, for one, definitely.

139

Watching football.

140

Because you can watch football here, but the time difference makes it a bit awkward.

141

The ants are coming.

142

Yeah, the time difference makes it slightly awkward

143

because the games tend to kick off at about 8 o'clock or midnight or like 4 a.m.

144

There's a game at 4 a.m tonight.

145

How am I going to deal with that?

146

I need to watch it as well.

147

It's a big game.

148

So I can either stay up and drink and then just right off the next day.

149

Or I can wake up really early tomorrow morning at 4 a.m and watch it probably do that.

150

I'll probably do that.

151

Probably.

152

Cups of tea.

153

Yeah, I know you can get them in other parts of the world

154

but they're just not really the same as they are in England.

155

Being in an English-speaking country is very nice of course and just the beautiful British weather.

156

That was a joke by the way.

157

What's something you're trying to improve right now?

158

Let's talk about the picnic unrelated but I put in a lot of effort to get this together.

159

Oh I've just realized these cardboard bowls, I bought two of them but they actually come in packs of five so I have ten of them.

160

Ten for two, okay fair enough.

161

Olives, so nice.

162

Sandwiches are nearly done.

163

So if you're wondering what these are, these are called cheese strings and obviously they're like the Japanese version but We have them in the UK.

164

They're very popular in the UK.

165

Mainly amongst kids.

166

It's what you'd have in a packed lunch in primary school.

167

But they're basically just fake plastic cheese.

168

But the fun is that you peel them and you can eat them like this.

169

Or you can do this.

170

This is what you used to do in school.

171

I wasn't actually allowed these when I was a kid.

172

So I watch other people.

173

I had the strictest parents when it came to food and diet and stuff like that.

174

That's why I'm eating them now.

175

They taste exactly the same as the English ones.

176

Cheese string is a man.

177

So these are just chocolate biscuits.

178

And they are completely melted under the sun, obviously.

179

Didn't really think that one through.

180

and yeah back to the question something i'm trying to improve skating

181

so i if you've been following my recent videos you know

182

that i started skating again i'm trying to get better i'm also trying to learn again not anything in particular

183

but just getting into the habit of learning something i've just stopped learning I feel like

184

when people get to a certain age, obviously you can't really relate to this because if you're watching this you're learning English, but for most people we just stop learning,

185

we stop reading, we stop trying to figure out new things we just live life

186

so I'm trying to learn again dedicating half an hour a

187

day just to learning the dearer the dearer is back very quickly

188

if you would like to practice your English with me then

189

I've just opened up a few spots in my private community

190

so here we will have three live calls together every single week

191

and you will also get exclusive access to over 50 accent training lessons as soon as you sign up.

192

So the link to that is in the top comment but there are just a few spots available so don't wait.

193

Okay back to the picnic.

194

What would you change about your daily routine.

195

Putting in contact lenses is such a pain in the arse.

196

I'm genuinely considering getting laser eye surgery because I just can't be bothered to put them in, go to the gym, take them out, shower, put them back in,

197

then take them out at night again.

198

It's terrible.

199

So much effort.

200

just like poking at my eyeballs you know it's not good

201

what's something you've learned recently

202

so everyone's very different like genetically how they were brought up everyone is very different

203

so just because someone says

204

that something works for them doesn't mean it will work for you

205

or it's best for you for example let's say someone tells you to wake up at 6am every morning

206

and have a cold shower and do two hours of work before starting the day.

207

That might be good for them but with your genetic makeup

208

and how you were brought up and your goals and stuff like that it might not be the best option for you.

209

So everyone is different so just bear that in mind.

210

Of course there are some things that are fundamentally beneficial for everyone's life.

211

So eating healthy food, this is a bad example but eating healthy food and exercising.

212

It doesn't matter what your genetics are or what your upbringing was like, but those things are going to improve your life.

213

But just the small specific details, even if it's someone you admire who tells you to go to sleep at this time, wake up at this time,

214

just because it works for them doesn't necessarily mean that it's the right thing for you to do.

215

You need to experiment and see what's best for you, you know?

216

How's the food?

217

It's good.

218

It's good.

219

I was walking around this area for about half an hour trying to find somewhere that wasn't

220

A covered in ants and B covered in deer excrement.

221

And I finally settled on this place.

222

No idea how it was going to look, but if you're watching this, then it means I've deemed it good enough for my YouTube channel.

223

What does a perfect day look like for you? So I'd wake up.

224

That's always a good way to start the day.

225

Probably go to the gym just because I feel good afterwards.

226

Have a full English breakfast.

227

Not like a huge one, but a small, high-quality one.

228

And then a pan of chocolate and an oat milk latte with a view somewhere.

229

Probably alone, but I could be there's someone else.

230

Go shopping or something.

231

Buy some nice perfume, maybe some clothes.

232

have lunch out somewhere, play some football in the afternoon with my friends

233

and have a picnic and eat nice food and have some beers

234

and stuff like that and in the night I don't know maybe meet someone special

235

or go to a bar or something like that but I love barbecue so much.

236

That's something I miss about the UK.

237

We know how to throw a good barbecue.

238

Do you think you're more introverted or extroverted.

239

These crisps are so nice.

240

Sorry, I got distracted by eating.

241

I think I'm a mix.

242

I don't think someone...

243

I think that question is too black and white, you know?

244

I think people are not just introverted or extroverted.

245

Sometimes they're introverted, sometimes they're extroverted.

246

People are complicated and it depends how they're feeling, what situation they're in, those types of things.

247

For me, I'd say I'm mainly introverted, but sometimes I feel extroverted.

248

So a mix may be 70% introverted, 30% extroverted.

249

What's your go-to comfort food?

250

probably scrambled eggs on toast very easy to make reminds me

251

of mornings you know breakfast I feel like breakfast is quite a comforting meal

252

and yeah I just

253

that meal has got me through some dark times you know

254

very easy to make nice lots of protein warm it's the comfort meal

255

what's the food you hate mushrooms i love the smell of mushrooms

256

but this the taste and the texture are disgusting i hope one day

257

because obviously your your tastes change as you get a a

258

bit older they become a bit more sophisticated you know supposedly

259

so for example i didn't really used to like olives now i i love them

260

so i hope that i will start to appreciate mushrooms soon

261

soon because i love the smell as i say what's the weirdest food you've ever tried Cow tongue.

262

The flavour was nice but the texture was very tonguey.

263

I was very aware that I was eating a tongue.

264

Very chewy and firm.

265

Is that a deer?

266

That might be a deer.

267

What's your favourite drink?

268

So soft drink or tea and coffee obviously.

269

water boring answer i quite like coke zero but i can feel that

270

starting to change a bit i'm getting a bit sick of

271

it i didn't really used to ever drink it it's

272

when i went to argentina for some reason i just started

273

drinking loads of coke zero i'm not too sure why um

274

but i can i can feel myself growing out of

275

that a bit maybe i'll move on to something else

276

and alcoholic beer wine all types of wine just for different

277

occasions you know like with steak you need red wine on a day like this some rose

278

or some white wine would be nice maybe some of this

279

briseco yeah whiskey i love whiskey as well it's probably my go-to

280

if i was in a bar i'd get some whiskey

281

and cocktails because who doesn't like cocktails do you prefer tea or coffee

282

I like both to be honest with you I love coffee though

283

so I'm probably gonna have to go for that

284

but tea is a lot more comforting I've said this many times on my channel before

285

but if I'm out in a cafe I just won't order tea

286

because I know how easy it is for me to make it home unless I'm having some cake in

287

which case I will get tea

288

because you need you need tea with cake that's just essential

289

I don't make the rules would you try something strange if I gave it to you

290

hmm like what depends on the smell i think

291

if it smelled weird then probably not but

292

if it's not nice then maybe i'd give it a go

293

what's your ideal meal look at me speaking

294

with food in my mouth very ungentleman like let me have a strawberry

295

So I went to Don Julio in Argentina.

296

Yes, I know.

297

I know.

298

Very famous.

299

I'm amazing.

300

And that was probably the nicest meal I've ever had.

301

So loads of delicious sides and starters.

302

A perfectly cooked steak with chips and garlic and tomatoes.

303

Red wine and a chocolate dessert.

304

That was probably my...

305

I'd say that that is my ideal meal, to be honest with you.

306

do you like your job yeah of course i do i'm

307

extremely grateful i mean you know it's a tuesday i'm in the sun having a picnic

308

and filming don't get me wrong it's not all picnics in the sun

309

but right now it literally is a picnic in the sun

310

can get a bit stressful there's the constant fear the constant feeling

311

that i'm not doing enough it's just nagging feeling

312

that i should be doing more and that it's all gonna slip away soon

313

but apart from that i think

314

that just comes with being self-employed to be honest apart from

315

that yeah i love it i mean i get to help people

316

and i've met many people in the community now through one-to-one calls

317

and private lessons and community calls that i also have and i mean you guys are amazing honestly

318

interesting people from all around the world i'm extremely grateful for all of you so thank you

319

Best way to meet people in the UK

320

I'd say language exchanges are good

321

because not only will you get to practice your English

322

but you'll also meet people who are interested in your culture and your language and they're also quite easy to find

323

In cities, obviously, it's going to be easier to find I don't even really like Haribo I like the white ones,

324

the gummy ones.

325

And they feel very British as well.

326

That's why I bought them.

327

Anyway, in big cities, it's going to be very easy to find language exchanges.

328

But even in smaller ones, depending on the language, I don't think in Stoke you're going to be able to find an Uzbek language exchange, I'm afraid.

329

But in London, you can find pretty much anything, or in Manchester, in Bristol, those types of places.

330

Also, sports events, so playing football or badminton or paddle or something like that.

331

Run clubs, absolutely.

332

There's a good website called meetup.com.

333

That's a good way to find local events and stuff like that.

334

That's obviously a good way to meet people.

335

And I think this is underrated just becoming like a regular

336

in a cafe soon you'll start speaking to the barista maybe other regulars in there

337

so that's a good one if you work remotely or even

338

if you don't just like going for a morning coffee in the same place

339

or every weekend that type of thing do you have any tattoos no not yet

340

but i am going to get one soon and whenever i say

341

that to people they always say the same thing it's It's a very rational question.

342

Like, are you not going to regret getting a tattoo?

343

Make sure it's something that you won't regret having on your body for the rest of your life.

344

That's a very valid question.

345

However, it's impossible to know what you're going to regret in like 10, 20, 30 years time.

346

So I've come to the conclusion that as long as the remaining years of my life, as long as the majority of those years are spent with me not regretting the tattoo,

347

then I think it's a win

348

so let's say I'm around for 50 more years as long

349

as the majority of those years 26 of those years I

350

like the tattoo then I'm happy anyway thank you thank you

351

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.
