The boat tour is over!
2
This is part 2 of our Amami Oshima trip.
3
If you recall the last vlog, we got to the resort and pudding was shivering.
4
We woke up the next day hoping to find some sun, but no. But that's alright.
5
Let's have fun in the rain!
6
Ametabi!
7
Oh my gosh.
8
Are you being nice?
9
Hi Bebe!
10
Where's she going?
11
Oh...
12
So our boat tour was cancelled.
13
But the rain's not gonna kill us.
14
Let's go walk over to the beach.
15
The water wasn't as cold as we thought it would be.
16
And Pudding wanted to jump in.
17
God bless Meg and Daddy for going with her.
18
So it is raining quite a bit.
19
We're just gonna take a rainy, wet walk along the beach.
20
But Pudding said she wanted to swim, so there they are.
21
It's pretty cold!
22
Obviously Clover's gonna stay nice and warm with me.
23
How was the bed?
24
It's too cold!
25
Alright, time for a hot bath!
26
For lunch, we decided to take a 20 minute drive to a little town called Setojicho.
27
During the drive, Pudding got out her camera and started snapping a bunch of pictures.
28
It's a kid's camera so the quality isn't all that great, but she actually took some great shots.
29
She even found some of the filters and frames that are installed in the camera.
30
All by herself!
31
So we are gonna go eat lunch.
32
We're gonna go eat some curry.

We found a cute little place right over there.
34
Life with good spice!
35
I thought it might be too spicy for kids, but they've got a kids menu!
36
I think one of the biggest challenges about going out with kids is that they get bored really easily.
37
Lately, I've been trying to be creative about how I spend time waiting with pudding.
38
One of the games we've been playing recently is taking turns telling a story.
39
Once upon a time in a tropical forest, there was a small monkey named Oompa Loompa.
40
And that monkey loved to sing and dance.
41
One day, he saw a banana, but it was made of plastic so he can eat it.
42
Oh!
43
I'm going to eat some plastic.
44
It's because it's plastic made by banana.
45
I can't eat it.
46
I can't eat it.
47
I can't eat it.

110
Rainy season here.
111
But you know that the rain is important, right?

This activity kept us busy for like two hours, which is a long time for a toddler with a tiny attention span.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
