1
Picture this.
2
You're in a job interview and it is going well.
3
Then the interviewer says, so tell me about yourself and your mind goes completely blank.
4
You've answered that question a hundred times in your head but right now with someone watching and waiting, nothing comes out the way you practiced it.
5
And it's not only an English problem.
6
A job interview is one of the most stressful conversations there is.
7
People freeze in their own language too.
8
And a second language and a camera pointed at your face, the pressure doubles.
9
The good news is that the words you need are not complicated.
10
You already know most of them.
11
What you haven't done is say them out loud under pressure until they come out on their own.
12
That's what we're fixing today.
13
This This is a speaking session.
14
You're going to shadow a full job interview from the first hello to the final goodbye, saying every line out loud at the same time as the speaker.
15
By the end, your answers won't feel like something you're digging for.
16
They'll feel like something you already have ready to go.
17
By the way, before we start, because I'm based in Silicon Valley, I see a lot of companies turning to AI interviews where you're interviewed by AI,
18
but everything is recorded on camera and analyzed by AI.
19
Let me know in the comments.
20
One, have you ever done an interview like that where AI interviewed you?
21
Two, did you feel more confident than talking to a person?
22
High chances are when you're applying for a new job these days, you're going to be interviewed by AI.
23
But here's how this video is going to work.
24
First, I'll give you the words and phrases that come up in almost every interview.
25
The natural expressions that make you sound confident instead of rehearsed, instead of sounding like an AI.
26
Then you listen to the whole interview once, then we'll play it again and you'll shadow the candidate.
27
The topic today is an interview for a marketing position and it includes the questions everyone dreads.
28
Why do you want to leave your current job?
29
Watch how Alex stays calm and turns it around.
30
By the way, if you're new here, welcome to Lingua Marina.
31
I moved from Russia to the US 11 years ago.
32
I've built teams and hired a lot of people, hundreds of people, and I've sat on both sides of the interview table in my second language
33
so I know this reads well and I know what makes an answer land well.
34
I'm waiting to read your comment section.
35
Have you ever been interviewed by AI or not and how did it feel?
36
Interviews run on a specific kind of language, phrasal verbs and idioms that native speakers use without even thinking about it.
37
Learn these and you'll sound natural and confident instead of rehearsed.
38
Let's start with the phrasal verbs you'll hear in this conversation.
39
The first one is to step up.
40
It means to take on more responsibility.
41
Especially when it matters, you'll hear Alex say he is ready to step up and take on more ownership.
42
And right there is the next one.
43
To take on.
44
To take something on means to accept new work or responsibility.
45
Alex uses it again later about himself.
46
I take on way too much myself.
47
The opposite move is to hand something off, to pass a task to someone else.
48
Alex says he's learning to start handing off pieces of things instead of doing everything himself.
49
Next, to throw someone off.
50
It means to confuse or or unsettle someone.
51
Alex says, pressure doesn't really throw me off, meaning it doesn't rattle him.
52
Then there's to come up with, to think of or create something.
53
Alex says, I can come up with the campaign and write the story.
54
And two more you'll hear at the very end, to reach out and to touch base.
55
To reach out means to contact someone.
56
Sarah says, we'll reach out by the end of next week.
57
And to touch base means to check in briefly.
58
I'll touch base with you either way.
59
Okay, now let's move on to the idioms.
60
These are the lines that really make you sound fluent.
61
The first idiom is to hit a ceiling.
62
It means you've reached a point where you can't grow any further.
63
Alex uses it to explain why he's leaving.
64
I've kind of hit a ceiling.
65
There isn't really a next step for me.
66
It's a graceful way to answer a hard question.
67
Next, to be under the gun, to be under heavy time pressure.
68
Alex says the whole team was kind of under the gun.
69
Then to be on the same page when everyone shares the same understanding.
70
And we got on the same page about what was actually essential.
71
Here's a great one.
72
To hit the ground running, it means to get going at full speed and be effective from the very first moment.
73
We hit the ground running and launched on time.
74
Another is to go the extra mile, to do more than what's expected.
75
Alex says, I tried to go the extra mile for my teammates.
76
And to bring something to the table, to offer real value.
77
He uses it for what makes him different.
78
Being able to bring both of those to the table.
79
One more that comes up twice.
80
To run with something.
81
It means to take an idea and move forward with it on your own.
82
Alex says his manager, let me run with it.
83
And Sarah says she wants someone she can trust to run with content.
84
And finally, a few natural words and phrases.
85
When Alex calls a tough question a fair question, he's calmly saying, that's reasonable.
86
I understand why you're asking.
87
This is a great way to buy yourself a second before a hard answer.
88
When Sarah describes the team as fast-paced, she means busy with things moving quickly,
89
and swamped means extremely busy, cover for them when they're swamped.
90
One quick pronunciation heads up.
91
Campaign.
92
If the G is silent, you say campaign with the stress on the second part.
93
And resume, meaning your CV, is said resume, not resume.
94
You'll hear both in the conversation.
95
Before we listen, I want to give you something to use after this video.
96
We built a free quiz on the phrases from this interview.
97
All 7 phrasal verbs, all 7 idioms, and the 3 words you'll hear in almost every American interview and the grammar behind Alex's answers.
98
It's 33 questions and it takes about 10 minutes.
99
It's built so you have to produce the phrases, not just recognize them.
100
You match the phrasal verbs to their meanings, you fill the missing word into real lines from the interview,
101
you pick the stronger of two interview answers the way a hiring manager would,
102
and in the last round you type the idiom yourself with nothing on the screen to help you.
103
The last round is where you find out which phrases you actually have.
104
Recognizing under the gun in a sentence takes half a second.
105
Pulling this phrase out of an empty box is the same
106
job your brain has to do in a real interview and it's much harder.
107
At the end, you get your score and the list of exactly
108
which phrases you missed so you know what to shadow again.
109
It's completely free and you can retake it as many times as you want.
110
The link is in the description.
111
Okay, now let's get into the interview.
112
Here's the situation.
113
Sarah is the hiring manager interviewing Alex over video for a marketing role.
114
He's a marketing coordinator now.
115
He's currently employed and he's looking to step up.
116
So you'll have to explain why he wants to leave.
117
Just listen.
118
Hi, is this Alex?
119
Can you see and hear me okay?
120
Hi, Sarah.
121
Yes, I can hear you perfectly.
122
Thanks so much for taking the time today. Of course.
123
Thanks for making it work with the time difference.
124
How's your day going so far?
125
Pretty good, thanks.
126
A little bit of nerves, I'll admit, but the good kind.
127
That's totally normal.
128
Honestly, this is really just a conversation.
129
I want to get to know you, and you can ask me anything too.
130
Sounds great.
131
I appreciate that.
132
So let's start easy.
133
Tell me a little about yourself and what you're doing right now.
134
Sure.
135
So I've been in marketing for about three years now, mostly on the content and social media side.
136
Right now, I'm a marketing coordinator at a mid-sized e-commerce company.
137
I help run the content calendar, write a lot of our posts and emails, and keep an eye on how everything's performing.
138
Last year, I worked on our big holiday campaign, and I actually ended up driving a big part of it.
139
I really love the mix of being creative and then looking at the numbers to see what's working.
140
And honestly, I feel ready now to step up, take on more ownership, and start growing toward managing projects and eventually a small team.
141
That's a big reason I'm here.
142
That's a great overview thank you the holiday campaign
143
that jumped out at me on your resume can you walk
144
me through your part in it what actually made it work yeah definitely
145
so at the start honestly it wasn't working at all we launched the first version
146
and the ads were getting tons of clicks
147
but almost no sales people were looking
148
but they weren't buying that's frustrating it really was and i was the one watching the numbers every day,
149
so I kind of raised my hand and said, look, something's off here.
150
Instead of just spending more on ads, I went through the data line by line, and I realized the message was wrong.
151
We had been pushing discounts, but our customers actually cared way more about quality and the whole gift side of it.
152
So I pitched a new angle to my manager.
153
New images, new wording, all about give them something they'll love.
154
She let me run with it, and within about two weeks the sales just took off.
155
We doubled our numbers by the end of the season.
156
Wow, that's a big turnaround.
157
And nice that you were the one who spotted it.
158
So what would you say you took away from it?
159
I think the main thing is don't fall in love with your first idea.
160
I learned to test early, look at the real numbers, and be willing to change direction fast, even when it's your own idea you're throwing out.
161
and honestly, that it's worth speaking up even when you're not the most senior person in the room.
162
I love that.
163
That's exactly the kind of mindset we're looking for.
164
Okay, so I have to ask a slightly awkward question.
165
You're currently employed, things sound like they're going well, why are you looking to leave?
166
No, it's a fair question.
167
And I've thought about how to answer it without sounding negative because I'm genuinely grateful for where I am.
168
I've learned a ton there.
169
But it's a small team, and at this point, I've kind of hit a ceiling.
170
There isn't really a next step for me.
171
The roles above me are full, and nobody's moving.
172
I want more responsibility and room to grow.
173
And honestly, your brand is one I followed and admired for years.
174
So when I saw this role open up, I couldn't not apply.
175
That's a really honest answer, and I appreciate it.
176
I'll be straight with you too.
177
It's a fast-paced team here.
178
Some weeks, especially around a launch, things get pretty intense and everything's happening at once.
179
How do you usually deal with that kind of pressure?
180
Yeah, I figured as much.
181
Honestly, pressure doesn't really throw me off.
182
If anything, I focus better when there's a real deadline.
183
What helps me is, when everything's coming at once, I stop for a second and figure out what actually matters that day,
184
and I deal with that first instead of trying to do 10 things at half speed.
185
And I'm a big believer in just keeping people talking, so nobody's stuck or guessing.
186
Can you give me an example of a time it really got intense?
187
Sure.
188
Last year, right before that holiday launch, our timeline suddenly got moved up.
189
We had way less time than we'd planned for.
190
The whole team was kind of under the gun.
191
I'm not the manager, but I sort of helped pull everyone together.
192
We talked it through, got on the same page about what was actually essential and what could wait, and split the work so nobody was completely buried. And it worked.
193
We hit the ground running and launched on time.
194
It ended up being one of our best campaigns, and the team was really proud of it, which honestly mattered to me just as much.
195
That's great.
196
It sounds like you really care about the team side, not just the results.
197
I do, a lot.
198
I mean, the results matter, obviously.
199
But I've found that when people feel supported and they trust each other, the results kind of take care of themselves.
200
So, I try to go the extra mile for my teammates.
201
Cover for them when they're swamped, give them the credit, that kind of thing.
202
Even without a manager title, I try to be someone people can count on.
203
That's really good to hear
204
because this role would give you the chance to grow into leading projects and eventually maybe some people.
205
Let me flip it a bit.
206
What's something you're genuinely working on?
207
A weakness, if you want to call it that.
208
Honestly, my big one is that I take on way too much myself.
209
I want everything to be perfect, so I'll just do it instead of asking for help or handing it off.
210
And I've realized that doesn't really scale, and it's not fair to the people around me either.
211
So I've been working on it, trusting people more, handing off pieces of things, asking my manager what actually matters most before I say yes to everything.
212
I'm getting better, but it's still something I keep an eye on.
213
That's a thoughtful answer, and the self-awareness is great.
214
Okay, what do you think you'd bring to this team that maybe someone else at your level wouldn't?
215
I'd say it's that I'm genuinely comfortable with both sides of marketing.
216
A lot of people my age are either the creative, big idea type or the data, spreadsheet type, and they're a little scared of the other half.
217
I can come up with the campaign and write the story, and I can also sit down with the analytics and tell you why it's working or why it isn't.
218
Being able to bring both of those to the table, that's where I add the most value.
219
I'd agree with that.
220
All right, that's most of my questions.
221
What about you?
222
What can I answer?
223
Yeah, I've got a few.
224
First one, what does success actually look like in this role in, say, the first six months?
225
Like, if I'm doing a great job, what does that look like to you?
226
Good question.
227
Honestly, in the first six months, we'd want you to really take ownership of the content side, get comfortable with the team and our tools,
228
and start bringing your own ideas to how we do things.
229
We're not expecting miracles on day one, but by month six, you'd be the person we trust to run with content. That makes sense.
230
And how would you describe the team and the culture here?
231
What's it actually like day to day?
232
I'd say we're small, fast, and pretty honest with each other.
233
We give feedback directly, kindly, but directly, and people aren't afraid to say, hey, I don't think this is working.
234
It can be a lot at first, but most people end up loving it, because you always know where you stand.
235
Honestly, that sounds perfect for me.
236
I do my best work in a place like that.
237
And one last question, what are the next steps in the process?
238
So I'm going to compare notes with my team this week, and then we'll reach out by the end of next week.
239
Probably for a final round with the wider group.
240
I'll touch base with you either way so you're not left waiting.
241
Perfect.
242
I really appreciate that.
243
Thank you so much, Sarah.
244
I've enjoyed this even more than I expected, and I'm even more excited about the role now than when we started.
245
That's really nice to hear, and the feeling's mutual, Alex.
246
You've given me a lot to think about in the best way.
247
We'll be in touch very soon.
248
Have a great rest of your day.
249
You too.
250
Thanks again.
251
Bye.
252
Bye!
253
Please pause before we shadow.
254
Everything you just heard is intermediate English moving at real speed with no time to translate.
255
If that's the gap where you're stuck in, that's the exact gap our course from intermediate to advanced was built to close.
256
There are 35 short lessons during 7 weeks
257
and from the standard package up you get a live speaking session with a native speaker every single week.
258
More than 20,000 students have gone through it.
259
Tom wrote that it was the only school in his life where he attended every single lesson with pleasure
260
and that his old dream finally happened, he started speaking English.
261
Xenia said the biggest thing she got wasn't the theory, it was the tips on how to stop being timid about speaking and she signed up for another course right after.
262
Yulia said she built a habit of studying English every single day.
263
Because you're watching this video, we're opening one full lesson for free so you can meet Venia Pak, our teacher.
264
I'm fairly sure you won't have to stop after one class because that's what happens to almost everyone who needs VENIA.
265
The link is in the description and the code LINGUA MARINA takes $20 off any plan.
266
Now, let's shout out.
267
Hi, is this Alex?
268
Can you see and hear me okay?
269
Hi, Sarah.
270
Yes, I can hear you perfectly.
271
Thanks so much for taking the time today. Of course.
272
Thanks for making it work with the time difference.
273
How's your day going so far?
274
Pretty good, thanks.
275
A little bit of nerves, I'll admit, but the good kind.
276
That's totally normal.
277
Honestly, this is really just a conversation.
278
I want to get to know you, and you can ask me anything, too.
279
Sounds great.
280
I appreciate that.
281

282
Tell me a little about yourself and what you're doing right now.
283

284

290
That's a big reason I'm here.
291
That's a great overview.
292
Thank you.
293
The holiday campaign, that jumped out at me on your resume.
294
Can you walk me through your part in it?
295
What actually made it work?
296
Yeah, definitely.
297
So at the start, honestly, it wasn't working at all.
298
We launched the first version and the ads were getting tons of clicks, but almost no sales.
299
People were looking, but they weren't buying.
300
That's frustrating.
301
It really was.

I'd say it's that I'm genuinely comfortable with both sides of marketing.
369
A lot of people my age are either the creative, big idea type, or the data, spreadsheet type, and they're a little scared of the other half.
370
I can come up with the campaign and write the story, and I can also sit down with the analytics with the analytics and tell you why it's working or why it isn't.
371
Being able to bring both of those to the table, that's where I add the most value.
372
I'd agree with that.
373
All right, that's most of my questions.
374
What about you?
375
What can I answer?
376
Yeah, I've got a few.
377
First one, what does success actually look like in this role in, say, the first six months?
378
Like, if I'm doing a great job, what does that look like to you?
379
Good question.
380
Honestly, in the first six months, we'd want you to really take ownership of the content side, get comfortable with the team and our tools,
381
and start bringing your own ideas to how we do things.
382
We're not expecting miracles on day one, but by month six, you'd be the person we trust to run with content. That makes sense.
383
And how would you describe the team and the culture here?
384
What's it actually like day to day?
385
I'd say we're small, fast, and pretty honest with each other.
386
We give feedback directly, kindly but directly
387
and people aren't afraid to say hey I don't think this is working it can be a lot at first
388
but most people end up loving it
389
because you always know where you stand honestly
390
that sounds perfect for me I do my best work in a place like
391
that and one last question what are the next steps in the process
392
so I'm going to compare notes with my team this week and then we'll reach out by the end of next week, probably for a final round with the wider group.
393
I'll touch base with you either way so you're not left waiting.
394
Perfect.
395
I really appreciate that.
396
Thank you so much, Sarah.
397
I've enjoyed this even more than I expected, and I'm even more excited about the role now than when we started.
398
That's really nice to hear, and the feelings mutual, Alex.
399
You've given me a lot to think about in the best way.
400
We'll be in touch very soon.
401
Have a great rest of your day.
402
You too.
403
Thanks again.
404
Bye.
405
Bye.
406
That's it for today.
407
Your job now is simple.
408
Shadow this a few more times until the answers come out without you digging for them, and you'll walk into the real interview a lot calmer.
409
And then take the quiz.
410
It's free, the link is in the description, and it covers every phrase from today.
411
If you score 26 out of 33 without going back to this video, you're ready.
412
Tell me your score in the comments.
413
I read all of them.
414
See you in the next one.

- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: spreadsheet /ˈspɹɛd.ʃit/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, shout /ʃaʊt/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: genuinely /ˈd͡ʒɛn.ju.ɪn.li/, analytics /ˌæn.əˈlɪt.ɪks/, intermediate /ɪn.tə(ɹ)ˈmi.di.ət/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/

- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: analytics /ˌæn.əˈlɪt.ɪks/, rattle /ˈɹæ.təl/, analyze /ˈæn.əˌlaɪz/, translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/, blank /ˈblæŋk/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: graceful /ˈɡɹeɪsfʊl/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/
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 idiom, resume, verb.
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.
