Shadowing Practice: Leo’s Running Shoes Got Ruined... Can He Still Finish the Race?! | Slow English Listening (A2 Level) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Big gang day!

Lucky shoes, let's win again!

Oh no, what's this?

Leo, what happened?

My shoe is broken!

Don't panic, Leo.

Use your backup shoes.

You can still play.

Without my lucky shoes, I can't play well.

Welcome to Grace Daily English.

Want to speak English naturally like in real life?

Join us for fun, everyday moments with family and friends.

Simple, relatable, and actually useful.

Let's jump in!

You really love those shoes, don't you? Of course!

These are my lucky shoes.

Since I got them, I've played really well.

Then, I hope they help us win tomorrow.

They will!

I'll score as many goals as possible.

Lucky shoes?

So that's Leo's secret.

Maybe I can take away his confidence.

Rest well.

Tomorrow, we'll win together.

See you tomorrow, Lucky Shoes.

Now let's see how lucky you are.

Just a little pull.

Okay.

No more lucky shoes for Leo.

The backup pair is fine.

Trust yourself, Leo.

They're not lucky.

I won't play the same.

You trained hard.

The shoes didn't train for you.

I don't feel ready.

I might hurt the team.

Coach Kevin.

I want to stay on the bench.

Are you sure?

The team needs you today.

I'm sure.

Hmm.

I don't think I can do it.

Okay.

Hmm.

Sit out for now.

And clear your head.

Hmm.

Stay together, everyone.

We can still do this.

Catch me if you can.

Woohoo!

What a goal!

Your team looks lost without Leo.

With my lucky shoes, maybe I could help.

Leo's team will be loose!

Two goals down.

My team will be loose.

Leo!

We need you!

What if I play badly without my lucky shoes?

All this because one soul came loose?

That's silly!

Wait, huh?

How did you know my soul was loose?

You said it yesterday!

I heard you talking!

No way!

You're really a bad liar, Fielder! So what?

Yes, I did it, silly!

So it was you!

You broke my shoe!

Only a fool, depends on luck, instead of their ability!

Fielder's right!

Why should I let luck decide what I can do?

Coach Kevin, I'm ready!

Please put me in!

Alright, Leo!

Let's fight!

Mine!

This time!

Score! That was just luck!

Tom, now!

Take the pass!

Yes!

2 -2!

We're back!

Leo, finish it!

We did it together!

Tom, you were right!

I should trust myself, not luck!

Thanks for choosing courage.

And believing in your own ability.

Ha ha ha ha!

Trust yourself, everyone!

Thanks for watching and see you next time!

Ouch!

100

My tooth hurts again.

101

Maybe cold water will help me feel better.

102

Cold water will make it worse, Ethan!

103

I'm fine.

104

It is just a small pain.

105

Ow!

106

That hurts so much!

107

Grace was right.

108

I should not ignore this tooth.

109

Ethan, your cheek looks swollen.

110

Yes, and it hurts a lot.

111

this is not okay I will call the dentist for you oh hello I need an appointment for Ethan today

112

your dentist appointment is after work today today but I am very busy him I have a lot of work

113

See, I have many e -mails to read.

114

Are you busy or are you scared, Dad?

115

Scared?

116

No, no. I am just busy.

117

It's easy.

118

You just open your mouth and the check -up is done.

119

You should go early, Dad.

120

The dentist will make the pain go away.

121

Hmm.

122

It really hurts.

123

Please promise that you will go after work.

124

I have the map right here.

125

Without my phone, I cannot find the clinic address.

126

I will pick up the kids and go there.

127

Hmm.

128

Okay, Ethan.

129

Oh, no. Ethan left his phone here.

130

He did not forget it.

131

He was trying to avoid the appointment.

132

I should go to the clinic to check on him.

133

School is over.

134

Let's go.

135

Are we close to the clinic?

136

Dad, this is the wrong way.

137

I forgot my phone.

138

I do not know the way.

139

It is okay.

140

I have a paper map.

141

Turn right here.

142

It is near the park.

143

Okay, you are very smart, Maya.

144

Huh?

145

Grace, you are here.

146

Yes, you forgot your phone.

147

It will be quick, Dad.

148

Do not worry.

149

Hello, Ethan.

150

We will do a simple check -up.

151

I will be very gentle.

152

There is nothing to worry.

153

I am nervous.

154

Will it hurt?

155

Open wide.

156

I will be careful.

157

You have a small cavity.

158

We caught it early.

159

Wow, that was fast and easy.

160

Brush gently, avoid cold drinks, and come back for treatment.

161

Ha ha ha!

162

Ha ha ha ha!

163

Woohoo!

164

Dad, you look much better now!

165

Ha ha ha ha!

166

I was scared and tried to hide.

167

But, thank you for helping me come here.

168

We care about you, Dad.

169

You were very brave today.

170

Being brave means facing your fears.

171

Are you brave when you visit the dentist for a checkup?

172

Please like, share, and subscribe.

173

See you next time.

174

I thought this was gone forever.

175

I'm so happy.

176

Okay, stop.

177

You were selected.

178

Yeah!

179

Oh, my gosh.

180

I can't believe it!

181

Once I had a trip with my class.

182

When I stopped to have some water...

183

What the...

184

Wait, wait!

185

Hey, it's mine!

186

Did you ever get bad grades?

187

Yes, I messed up a presentation once.

188

I was nervous.

189

I suddenly forgot all the words while I was representing...

190

Wow!

191

Wow!

192

School years with you were interesting, right, Mom?

193

Yes.

194

And you know, kids, if I gave up every time, I would never meet your father.

195

Oh my goodness!

196

What was that?

197

I already explained it a thousand times, Leo.

198

How can you still not get it?

199

Oh!

200

What's going on here?

201

I'm trying to learn.

202

I really am.

203

I just, hmm, need one more time.

204

One more time?

205

Leo, you're making me repeat everything again.

206

I hate homework.

207

I hate school.

208

I don't want to go.

209

Okay, stay calm.

210

Let's all sit down together and talk.

211

Mom, did you ever hate school, too?

212

Oh, yes.

213

I cried a lot over math, too, when I was young.

214

Huh?

215

Really?

216

I can't believe that!

217

Whoa!

218

Just like you, math is really hard for me, too.

219

And I also hated the school.

220

Wow!

221

You really hated school?

222

Yes, but school was more than homework.

223

Let's see.

224

I signed up for the audition for the music club.

225

It's crazy, right?

226

I thought this was gone forever.

227

I'm so happy.

228

Okay, stop.

229

You were selected.

230

Yeah!

231

Oh my gosh.

232

Can't believe it!

233

What?

234

After joining the music club, Mom had many new experiences, such as...

235

Plan on stage for the first time!

236

Once I had a trip with my class, when I stopped to have some water...

237

What the?

238

Wait, wait!

239

Hey, it's mine!

240

Little monkey!

241

Give it back to me!

242

Please!

243

That's when I learned that whenever you're around monkeys, you need to keep a close eye on your belongings.

244

I participated in school volunteer projects, which helped me develop new skills.

245

And I met many new friends.

246

Did you ever get bad grades?

247

Yes, I messed up a presentation once.

248

I was nervous.

249

I suddenly forgot all the words while I was representing.

250

But I learned to speak in front of others from that time.

251

Wow!

252

School years with you were interesting, right, Mom?

253

Yes.

254

And you know, kids, if I gave up every time, I would never meet your father.

255

Hmm, can you tell us about how Dad met you? Of course.

256

But finish your math first, then I'll continue at dinner.

257

Okay, I'll finish all my homework to hear Mom and Dad's story.

258

You can find another way to help your little brother with the homework.

259

Hmm.

260

Yes, Mom.

261

I'll try a new way.

262

I have to go back to the kitchen now.

263

Try hard, my kids.

264

I did it!

265

I finished!

266

Mom, I'm done with all my homework.

267

Great job, my boy.

268

And you, you helped your brother a lot.

269

Thank you, girl.

270

We're ready to hear more now.

271

Yes.

272

Tell us more, please.

273

Patience, dear.

274

Story continues.

275

But, Mom, I've just realized that school is more than homework.

276

Exactly.

277

You'll see wonderful things at that time.

278

And now I get it!

279

Student days are so amazing!

280

Yes!

281

Remember, learning is an adventure.

282

Don't let one difficult problem at school make you miss out on all the wonderful experiences that school has to offer.

283

How about you?

284

Do you have any fun school memories?

285

Share them with us!

286

Kitty, where are you?

506

Hmm, it's not here.

510

Hey, Leo, let's follow her.

511

Maya, look!

512

A tiny kitten!

We can bring the kitten down with this ladder. Be careful, Dad.

525

The ladder is too short.

Try this food, Dad.

528

Come here.

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.
