Shadowing Practice: This Train Game Is Pure MADNESS... - Ep 2 - Learn English Speaking with Video

1
Welcome to episode 2 of a series where I travel across one of the most chaotic
2
and one of the most goofiest railways I have seen in ages.
3
Here is what happened last time.
4
Uh, no, not deleting in 17 seconds.
5
No, I'd kind of like to leave this station, please.
6
That would be very ideal.
7
Okay, let's go.
8
We're finally on a train.
9
Did you eat the train?
10
Okay, but like, why have we stopped?
11
Come on, we barely got anywhere.
12
I just...
13
This is what I mean when I say that this game is goofy.
14
I mean, just look at this.
15
The hell is this?
16
Okay, we're finally escaping that 142.
17
Though he is also going pretty quickly, So I don't think we'll be able to escape him for long.
18
And we've arrived our second station.
19
A station which I have forgotten the name of.
20
It's a station which...
21
Seemingly this.
22
And that train has seen better days.
23
Admittedly.
24
Well, at least we escaped that train.
25
Yeah.
26
That's all that matters.
27
Oh my god.
28
And so our journey continues.
29
However, we have a slight problem.
30
Just to remind you, my objective is to reach Ashburn Station in an hour, but we're 43 minutes into the challenge and we still have a decent amount of track to cover.
31
So the question looms, can we make it to Ashburn in just the next 17 minutes?
32
Is such an objective even possible?
33
Well, we're about to find out.
34
I must say, the interior does look very cool.
35
I don't know what's going on over there though, but...
36
Ah, it's fine.
37
And we're at red signal.
38
Yay.
39
Also, something interesting to note is that, despite the trains being British-based, we drive on the right-hand side of the tracks,
40
which makes no sense at all.
41
And also, why do I sit like this?
42
I'm sitting on air.
43
I shouldn't be sitting on air.
44
I'm supposed to be sitting on seats. But, but, okay.
45
Oh, and there's a class 43 over here.
46
Who's also waiting endlessly with that signal at all.
47
Oh, never mind.
48
Oh, yeah, of course this HST gets priority.
49
But us peasants shall wait endlessly.
50
Yeah, you can move HST.
51
The signal was green.
52
Um, what are you doing? Are you okay?
53
Oh, now we get priority.
54
uh okay i mean the hst is supposed to get priority over us to be fair
55
because that's an express train
56
and we're literally a bus on rails okay i'm not complaining i'm not complaining hello signaller meanwhile
57
that hst just chilling over there rest in peace oh look cow
58
oh my god we're actually going at decent speed to be
59
fair that's pretty cool oh look at this wow this station
60
looks cool i must say i mean out of two stations
61
which we have visited so far this must be the coolest looking station that we have seen right so far
62
oh yeah because this is toughdale central which i'm guessing is the biggest station on this map So that's pretty cool.
63
But I don't see any reason to get off here.
64
We may as well just continue going to Dovetail East Station and then hopefully find another train from there.
65
Besides, I don't know where that train's going.
66
And that was the quickest stop I have ever seen.
67
Um, you barely stopped there.
68
I mean, it's like you stopped there for five seconds.
69
Well, goodbye Dumbledale Central Station.
70
We shall continue!
71
Okay, so I don't think we're supposed to be this close to that train.
72
Did we pass a red signal by any chance?
73
Well, at least that train isn't AFK or something.
74
That really is reassuring, in my opinion.
75
So our journey shall continue.
76
Hopefully.
77
Eventually it will.
78
Okay, there we go.
79
Off we go.
80
And we have a red signal. Of course. Of course.
81
Oh well.
82
I shouldn't be surprised to be fair.
83
And we're not gonna pass the red signal, right?
84
Okay, we nearly did, but we didn't.
85
That's okay.
86
That's good.
87
There's definitely a lot of waiting in this game, and also a lot of chaos, which I love.
88
I love the chaos part, not the waiting part.
89
Oh, look, another one photo.
90
Hello.
91
Also, why is this tree flying?
92
And I also couldn't help but notice that this tree is flying even more.
93
And so is this tree.
94
Yeah, it is.
95
And so are those two trees.
96
And so is that tree.
97
And so is that tree.
98
Okay, does every tree just fly in this game?
99
Developers, why?
100
Anyways, we should probably get back on our train.
101
Though we haven't moved for...
102
For a couple of minutes, so...
103
Uh...
104
Uh, what the hell?
105
What the hell are you doing?
106
I mean, look, I know that red signal was bad, but...
107
Was it that bad that you have to go back?
108
I kinda need to go that way.
109
Not this way.
110
Oh my god.
111
Yeah, this is what I mean.
112
When I say that this game is chaos.
113
This train driver is literally going the wrong way.
114
I mean, how can he get any more chaotic than that?
115
So, now I'm very confused on what on earth is going on.
116
And considering how we have five minutes left, I don't think we're reaching Ashburn in just one hour.
117
Oh well, it's fine.
118
You know what?
119
Let's try reaching Ashburn in two hours.
120
So we have an extra hour to reach Ashburn Station.
121
And hopefully the power of the flying trees...
122
Like, look at this!
123
This is literally just...
124
And hopefully the power of the flying trees somehow help us to reach Ashburn in that amount of time.
125
And you know, the signal turning green would also kind of help us, but that's so far not happening.
126
Oh, hello, 142.
127
I guess you're lucky enough to actually have a green signal.
128
You've disconnected from voice chat.
129
What do you mean?
130
Did I accidentally turn on voice chat?
131
Some people may have just heard me yapping to those people.
132
I'm sorry.
133
Okay, what the hell? this is like
134
they're not even trying to hide it at this point oh
135
my god I also kind of feel bad for this driver
136
I mean one way is blocked another way is blocked every way this driver goes is blocked
137
and we aren't going anywhere because of it you know I was feeling so hopeful oh look cow So frills. But nah.
138
Luck is just not on our side today.
139
He looks like Jesus to be fair.
140
We have Jesus driving our train.
141
You've disconnected from voice chat.
142
What do you mean?
143
I'm not in voice chat.
144
Is someone hearing my yapping?
145
This has been a legendary journey so far.
146
Just truly legendary.
147
Oh yeah, our signal is actually green now.
148
Finally.
149
Took long enough.
150
Well, I'm glad we got out of there eventually.
151
I hope we don't reach another red signal in like 300 meters from now or something.
152
I don't think there will be any signals here for a decent amount of time.
153
But you know what will be here though?
154
Flying trees.
155
Okay, this does look very cool though, I must say.
156
Out of all the goofy things that this game has, you must admit that this is just beautiful.
157
Wow.
158
Why go outside when you have this right in the comfort of your home?
159
I think the moral of the story here is, don't touch grass, guys.
160
Actually, please do touch grass, but...
161
What do you mean I've disconnected from Woosham?
162
I'm not even in voice chat.
163
I don't get it.
164
What the hell is this train driver doing?
165
I really don't know what's going on over there though.
166
What the hell is that?
167
I'm out.

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.
