Hi guys!
2
It's Kate and Sophia and today we're going to Five Guys.
3
It's a burger restaurant.
4
We're so excited.
5
I've been there I think only like three times so not a lot.
6
How about you?
7
I also haven't been there that many times but the few times
8
that I have gone it was really good and I'm really excited because my classes just ended today.
9
What about you Sophia?
10
Yeah, I'm really excited too.
11
I had a physics exam this morning, so it's been a stressful week, but I'm excited to go do something fun.
12
I love Five Guys.
13
If you guys remember from the In-N-Out video, I don't eat any meat, but I really like going to burger places because they always have the best grilled cheese sandwiches.
14
So I'm definitely going to order a grilled cheese, and their milkshakes are delicious as well, so I'm also going to get a milkshake.
15
I'm definitely going to get a milkshake, and I'm also going to get a cheeseburger because I do eat meat.
16
and french fries probably.
17
What classes are you taking next semester?
18
Next semester I am taking a pretty hard course load as well.
19
My hardest class is probably going to be it's going to be biochemistry.
20
I've heard that it's especially hard during the fall semester
21
which I didn't know when I signed up for the class
22
but it is what it is so I'm kind of scared for that.
23
Other than that I would say my classes are pretty fun.
24
I'm also taking two more environmental classes.
25
I'm taking insect behavior
26
and landscape ecology and then I'm taking a French for STEM class
27
which is really cool
28
because I am considering minoring in French I take a lot of French classes at Berkeley
29
so it's kind of combining my French and my science
30
which is just perfect and then I believe I have one more class
31
but I kind of forgot what it was so that's all I can remember right now how about you
32
I'm taking an international relations and the law class
33
which I'm really excited for
34
because I'm taking it with my favorite teacher in the world shout out Anthony
35
and I'm also taking a moral psychology class
36
because one of my majors is philosophy I'm also taking a class on Plato who's a Western ancient philosopher
37
and I'm taking that with another GSI that I've had in the past
38
and GSI stands for graduate student instructor which is essentially a teacher's assistant to the professors so I'm really excited for that.
39
I'm taking a Chinese class because I speak it
40
and fun fact we actually both take Chinese I don't take Chinese anymore
41
but I took Chinese for eight years so we were both mandarin speakers
42
which is kind of random
43
but very random um i'm feeling a little lost um oh
44
i've actually been to this location before it's right there like oh yeah we're
45

62
Could I please get peanut butter, banana, chocolate, and Oreos, please?
63

64
Sophia is back there getting some peanuts, but I don't really like peanuts, so I'm not going to get any.
65
Looks like Sophia has our milkshakes.
66
I have the milkshakes.
67
They're still making our food.
68
They're being super nice to us today.
69
Hi guys, we have our shakes and we have our peanuts.
70
We're still waiting for the rest of the food, but I'm going to go grab it in a second.
71
I got a strawberry milkshake.
72
Is it good?
73
It's great.
74
Okay, I'm going to go pick up the food, hopefully.
75
Thank you so much.
76
You speak Spanish?
77
Sorry?
78
You speak Spanish?
79
No, I don't.
80
What's your name?
81
Sophia.
82
Sophia.
83
My name is Juliana.
84
Juliana, nice to meet you.
85
You, sister?
86
Uh, no, not sister, just my friend.
87
Yeah.
88
All right, let me turn the camera.
89
Hi, guys.
90
We got our food.
91
I'm so excited.
92
Um, let me take it out of the bag for you.
93
Oh, the fries are just, like, in here.
94
I'm gonna go get some ketchup.
95
I'll be back.
96
This is how my cheeseburger looks.
97
I'm pumped.
98
I'm super excited to eat this.
99
I've had class all day so I haven't really had the opportunity to eat anything so I'm really hungry.
100
Hey guys I'm back with my ketchup.
101
I'm really hungry I'm so excited to eat this.
102
My phone's resting on the milkshake right now
103
so I'll try the milkshake after
104
but this is what my grilled cheese looks like cheese looks
105
like one thing they do different here is like they put the buns like upside down
106
so the top of the bun faces inside for the sandwich which is kind of cool ready
107
so good i love it so good
108
what i like about five guys is like there's so many different toppings you can put on the the sandwich.
109
Like, this has pickles, lettuce, mushroom.
110
In-N-Out doesn't have mushrooms, so it's a little bit nicer, I think.
111
I'm a plain kind of girl, so it doesn't really make a difference to me, but I love In-N-Out.
112
I love In-N-Out, too.
113
Just for me, because I'm not getting the patty, it's nice when there's extra stuff, I guess.
114
Makes it more filling.
115
Mmm. So good.
116
How are your fries?
117
Have as many as you want.
118
I'm going to try.
119
Thank you. So yummy.
120
Kate loves ketchup.
121
One thing about Kate is she loves her ketchup.
122
Look at this.
123
It's all ketchup.
124
True.
125
If you guys go watch the In-N-Out video, you'll see.
126
You'll see.
127
Kate, it's a lot of ketchup.
128
The full name of this place is Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
129
They also have peanuts, I guess.
130
I don't like peanuts.
131
You can just get them for free.
132
They just have like bins of peanuts all around and you can just take a scoop.
133
Sophia, how is Chloe?
134
Chloe's doing good.
135
It is her little sister's birthday on Saturday.
136
She's turning six.
137
which is so cute.
138
It's nice that my little, my sorority, Chloe, she lives close by.
139
So I get to see her pretty often, which is awesome.
140
I think I'm going to go visit her on Sunday.
141
Yeah.
142
Oh, fun.
143
What are you guys going to do?
144
Probably just hang out, maybe just watch TV, talk, something chill.
145
Oh, actually, we've been meaning to go get like a dessert or something together.
146
So maybe that.
147
She worked an internship this summer in San Francisco she's also having a very busy summer just like us, which is awesome.
148
Sophia, what's your favorite show?
149
I watch a lot of TV.
150
A really, really popular show this summer is called Love Island.
151
It's a dating show set in Fiji where all of these single people get sent to Fiji
152
and they live in a villa for, I think, like two and a half months.
153
and they just spend time with each other every single day
154
and the whole point of the show is
155
that hopefully at the end some of the couples come out in love
156
and the show just ended this week
157
so I watched all of it it was amazing I really liked it
158
and also one thing you can do is vote for your favorite couples
159
and stuff and that'll affect what happens in the show
160
so people will get kicked off
161
if they don't get enough votes kind of stuff like that um yeah I like the ending my favorite couple won, which is awesome.
162
I'm so happy for them.
163
But now that the show is over, they picked the winner and everything.
164
I don't even know what to watch anymore.
165
I used to watch it every day.
166
Do you have any recommendations?
167
No, I just scroll on TikTok a lot.
168
I honestly probably should start watching TV, so I just stopped scrolling, but do you Do you have any recommendations?
169
Hmm.
170
Not really.
171
I'm watching a lot of movies right now since my show ended, but I don't know.
172
I really just love watching TV, especially while I'm eating, like, dinner or whatever.
173
It just kind of relaxes me just to sit there and watch a show.
174
What else do you do?
175
Hmm.
176
I've been doing a lot of, like, art this summer.
177
I'm working on paintings right now.
178
Three big, huge paintings.
179
It's taken a lot of time, but that's also really calming for me.
180
I love painting.
181
Super relaxing, especially when my days are so busy.
182
Guys, one of my things to do when I watch TV is like eat peanut butter and Nutella straight from the jar.
183
It's not gross, I promise.
184
Just sit there and eat from the jar.
185
I really like when she does it, when she tells me about it.
186
What do I like to do?
187
I really like to run.
188
We go to Berkeley and so our school is kind of in the hills
189
and there are a lot of great hikes and trails around.
190
I really like running them and walking them and just discovering new places and being in nature.
191
I think that's super cool.
192
I definitely want to get outside more.
193
The weather's been really, really nice recently, so I want to spend more time outside.
194
I really want to tan.
195
I've been tanning a lot.
196
I lay out in the sun.
197
Sometimes I'll bring my homework and study.
198
That's nice.
199
Smart girl.
200
These past few days are some of the warmest days we've had this summer.
201
And I've loved it.
202
Because I've gotten to wear my dresses and, like, other cute outfits.
203
Yeah.
204
My classes start so early in the morning, and I'm not really a morning person, so I don't wake up very early before my classes start.
205
I feel like I don't have a lot of time to get ready and, like, look cute.
206
But today I had some more time in between my classes.
207
So also one of my classes got canceled today.
208
I am not a morning person, but I'm forcing myself to be.
209
So I go to this workout program.
210
It's called Solid Core, and it's mainly a core workout.
211
And I try and go every morning to try and keep myself on like a strict regimen and be disciplined.
212
But sometimes it falls apart.
213
Yeah, I don't even remember the last time I like worked out.
214
So unfortunately, I can't say the same, but I start, I'm on the dance team at our school,
215
which it takes a lot of stamina and like athletic ability.
216
So I definitely have to start working out and get my stamina back up before our dance season starts.
217
Sophia, what's your favorite part about dancing?
218
I really love, I don't know, every style of dance is different.
219
I feel like with kind of more contemporary lyrical dance, I can express myself a lot.
220
If I'm stressed about something, it's so freeing just to like dance.
221
She's famous.
222
When I see her, man do I get excited.
223
I scream.
224
Kate makes me feel like I'm famous, but I'm not famous.
225
Is that Miss Teen Utah?
226
Yeah.
227
She loves to talk to me on campus.
228
Call me out.
229
Yell it.
230
She loves to yell my name on campus.
231
I just get so excited when I see her.
232
Yeah.
233
Words can even begin.
234
If you want to learn more about the experience of a language, you can learn more about the language.
235
This is a language of English.

I'll see you in the description below.

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.
