Creating lesson...
1
By the way, people from Medellín, I remember that we were talking about this and I think that in the rest of the country, no they say pollo.
2
Here in Medellín, we say pollo to the kitchen.
3
I'm going to tell you why they say pollo.
4
In Medellín, they do what they say.
5
Let's say the most people in general, because Pereira and the cafeteria in general, they also are countries and I think that the words don't change much from place to place.
6
Why do they say pollo to the kitchen?
7
How do they say pollo in English?
8
They say chicken.
9
Open English.com And how do you say in English?
10
Kitchen Open English.
11
There it goes.
12
Okay.
13
Kitchen is kitchen.
14
Pollo is chicken.
15
For there in a while, I imagine, in the time in the time where all these people who lived around the airport looked at the boat
16
and the boat called Usnavi, of the Navy, of the United States.
17
And they thought that that was the name of the boat
18
and they seemed beautiful and so they put their children on their children because there are people who call usnavi, I don't know if you know, that's the name of usnavi,
19
it comes from the ships of the naval of the United States, and it's true, the same as the rompois,
20
the rompois is called rompoi because in English it round point, and then we adapt ourselves here to rompoi,
21
like the changong, the changonges never in the life they have been called changong, Se llaman shotgun, shotgun.
22
Pero en antaño, cuando aquí al país, al paisano, cuando aquí al colombiano le hablaban en inglés que no tenía ni puta idea en qué idioma le estaban hablando,
23
pues le parecía que algunas palabras sonaban muy bonitas y las adaptaban.
24
Al parecer, y no tengo ser, no tengo información que me dé certeza de ello,
25
al mesón de la cocina se le dice pollo por una equivocación entre chicken y kitchen.
26
Ya, ahí está.
27
It's a lot of sense, the truth.
28
Parce, yes, no, of course.
29
And if you want to see, marica, in that time, parce, where you had idolatrown, we were like, in that time, like if we did not do it, but in that time, in that time,
30
the Colombian would see the gringo as the indigene, as the Spanish was coming back, and with armaduras.
31
So it was a chupadera, excuse me, we're in a familiar, that was a succionadera, a messitzage, bravo.
32
It was better how they were, se utilizaban las expresiones es más no sé si ustedes han
33
escuchado una expresión no bueno más bien como un calificativo hacia
34
ciertas personas que le dicen fide fifís como es que se
35
parte es muy feliz y o esa persona muy feliz y
36
han escuchado eso espirina is pispirina y pispirina y es la
37
vaina cisas fifirina y sop y spina y chicos así eso viene del inglés people is nice
38
people is nice people is nice it's a man is all brothers
39
no let's say here we have a lot of anglosajonas I
40
think they say anglicisms adaptados to the language of us
41
because in that then they didn't know how they said how they said how they said
42
and not even what meant but of course the gringos came here
43
and one saw that that they refer to
44
that type of things brava the thing no it's like the origin of the word monday, which is French, the monday,
45
exactly Christian, we adapt a lot of words and terms
46
that come from the foreign language and we use them in the day to day, now, that we have a meaning
47
and a concept correctamente cristiano nosotros aquí adaptamos un montón de
48
palabras y de términos que vienen del extranjero y los usamos
49
en el día a día ahora que nosotros ya le tengamos
50
un significado y un concepto porque claro el niño nace cierto
51
la persona nace el bebecito nace aprende a hablar español con
52
los términos de nosotros y para él se le hace muy
53
normal decir una palabra como por ejemplo pispirinais o como decir
54
changón o como decir rompoy o rombo y al se le
55
hace normal él no va a preguntar a esa palabra de dónde viene Because he will assume that it's Russian, normal Russian, which is the language that we talked about.
56
On a question, do you prefer one you simple Japanese or a China technology?
57
Are you between a DR650 or a...
58
I'm comfortable, I thought I'd have to get to another movie.
59
I'd just imagine a previous school of Android, that I would leave a button here right, or here, or here.
60
Or something like that, or where there's a shoulder for me, Then I'll give you a bathroom and that it's refrigerated.
61
Or that it's automatically there's those big ones.
62
I said, my God, but what is that chick?
63

64

70

81

82
and with those hot airs I'm sure
83
that I'm going to go there I'm going to go
84
when I get a year before I remember very well
85
and I have a 8 le habla la yegua hey papi

87
and I have a camellando that no podía
88
but parce I love the pool
89
and the party city of the piscina nocturno me parecían también ricos
90
but it's better in the in the in the afternoon
91
because there is only sit now I'm losing many opportunities for English how did you learn English?
92
I need to do it I don't know how to speak English I've already said here several times
93
and if you see my videos and you know English
94
that I don't know me no me extraña that pronto creas
95
that I speak English because you know what I know
96
but my English is cavernicola my English is very carnical I
97
don't know I'm going to pay you me I'm going to understand no I'm going to have a problem with
98
that I'm going to do it
99
but I'm going to understand the way I'm going to be cruel
100
and despiad I think
101
that me escuchan hablar inglés y son como que hay que
102
el lindo que lindo es como este es el equivalente a
103
un bebé de tres años intentando hablar balbuceando palabras entonces yo
104
me defiendo me hago entender pero mi inglés no es perfecto
105
ahora como aprendí videojuegos en la época mía los videojuegos no
106
tenían multilinguaje es decir todos estaban en el lenguaje original con
107
que fueron desarrollados en su gran mayoría inglés y coreano si
108
usted quería pasarse un juego tenía que tener un traductor un I have a dictionary, the Rouse, of English and Spanish in that time, because there was no Google Traductor and that's what I had to do,
109
and I had to start to translate to see what were the missions.
110
Second, music.
111
A me like the rock, both in Spanish and in English, but the English also seems to me like a chimba.
112
So I wanted to know what they said in the songs.
113
So, listening to English and traduying the songs, I learned a little bit more.
114
And the other thing is the movie.
115
I am a person who loves to see the original language, and as you know, most of the most of the movies that we get to us in Colombia are gringas,
116
It is to say, English movies.
117
I love the English movies in English with subtitles in Spanish.
118
If you do a conscious exercise and learn a language while you are watching a English, you are able to learn.
119
I am not saying that it is going to be the best way to learn a new language, but it works, it works really.
120
It works because you learn with subtitles, how to say something, what is the accent, what is the pronunciation.
121
So I learned English basically, Parse.
122
No es más, nunca estuve en un curso de inglés.
123
El inglés que me dieron en el colegio fue el mismo inglés que le dieron a ustedes.
124
Es decir, colegio público que por más o menos seis años nos dieron el verbo.
125
Tuve ni puta idea de cómo usar eso cuando salí del colegio.
126
No sabía hablar absolutamente nada de inglés cuando salí del colegio.
127
Entonces hay como que diferentes estrategias.
128
Ahora, papi, si usted está perdiendo oportunidades laborales por el inglés y usted quiere avanzar en eso rápido, métase en un curso intensivo.
129
Le va a tocar pagar, huevón.
130
Que no es que sean malos.
131
Lo que pasa es que hay metodologías que le sirven a unos y a otros no. Muñoz, yo me compré un libro que decía, aprende inglés en 20 pasos y ya llevo 3 kilómetros.
132
Uy, pero, ¿qué son esos chistes de mierda, brother?
133
Ahora, mi brother, hay una estrategia que es muy usada, ok, para usted de aprender un idioma rápido.
134
Sea inglés, italiano, japonés, mandar, lo que sea.
135
Ojo pues, usted necesita, ¿sí?
136
Tener la obligación de aprenderlo.
137
It is to say, if you need to learn English
138
and go to a place where you only speak English and need to communicate, you will be the energy,
139
all those neurons will be able to get the dendritas and start to embrace, because you need to survive,
140
instinct of survival, adaptation, you have to learn quickly to not die.
141
That method is very effective.
142
If you need to learn Japanese, you go to Japan without talking about Japanese, and by the need you to go to have certain,
143
you'll be able to develop techniques of learning.
144
So you'll do that.
145
Is it you'll be the name that he will develop, you'll say that is that this is that it's like it's like you say, yes, it's like I said, but of course, then there's you get a friend that you can say that yes,
146
but it's very a bit because there's a reason it is that here we don't have fun.
147
For example, it's not that here, there are in here, there are no of the way to the proverbial way or of the word called
148
But you will start developing techniques of how people communicate when they communicate some products, what happens when they say this word and that is super effective.
149
The people who, for example, migraine to other countries learn the idiom, proverbios, no, pronombres.
150
Proverbios.
151
Proverbios.
152
That also serves as much, learn proverbios in another language.
153
No, I imagine that yes.
154
I imagine that it would be in another way, but I don't refer to it.
155
So, my brother, if he wants to go to the United States or go to Australia, I don't know if it's not only in English, it's not easy to travel,
156
because that means that everyone has the ability to travel and for the need to learn.
157
Well, what's that?
158
Because imagine, well, I have a family that immigrated for a long time.
159
I have a daughter that immigrated to the United States and I have a couple of primers that immigrated to Canada, which in
160
that time there was a lot of immigration to Canada migrador
161
hace muchísimo tiempo tengo una tía que migró a eeuu y
162
tengo unas primas segundas que emigraron a canadá que en esa
163
época también había mucho mucho tema de migración hacia canadá y
164
en canadá pues aceptaban mucho el migrante porque lo necesitaban ella
165
se fue a canadá con quien sería su esposo y con
166
su hija si ninguno hablaba inglés eso si ninguno hablaba inglés
167
mi hermanito y la que consiguió trabajo primero fue mi prima
168
el marido de ella el esposo pues se quedaba en la
169
casa haciendo el aseo pues era el amo de casa básicamente
170
pero asimismo ahí le tocaba salir a conseguir comida a la
171
calle entonces él entró la primera vez él nos cuenta no
172
el cual nos contó hace muchísimo tiempo nos contó pues que
173
cuando recién llegaron él salía a la calle pase como buscar
174
restaurantes pero como él no sabía hablar inglés entonces estaba bastante
175
limitado que le encontró un restaurante de hamburguesas entró al restaurante
176
de hamburguesas y vio que la gente hablaba en inglés pero
177
él no tenía ni puta idea de qué pedir y él
178
leyó el menú leyó la carta pero no idea de qué significaba eso, que hamburgueses no sabían absolutamente nada, ni cómo se pronunciaban ni nada.
179
Entonces, que a él le daba vergüenza.
180
Lo que hizo fue hacerse al ladito de la caja donde las personas hacían los pedidos, a escuchar a la primera persona que hiciera uno.
181
Entonces, él escuchó que llegó una persona, habló con el cajero y le dijo, Cheeseburger, le dijo, ah, one cheeseburger.
182
Y el parcero dijo, ah, voy a ver qué es lo que le entregan.
183
Y vinieron y le entregaron una hamburguesa.
184
Entonces, él dijo, gonorrea, eso es hamburguesa aquí en inglés, huevón, cheeseburger, melo.
185
Entonces, ya él se acercó y le dijo, one cheeseburger, así, one cheeseburger.
186
Claro que sí, señor, Tim.
187
Le entregaron su hamburguesita, el marica la comió y él decía, no, una gonorrea, hamburguesa, mano más flaca, huevón, hamburguesas malísimas, hermano, yo quedaba con un hambre.
188
Pero era lo único que yo sabía pedir.
189
Entonces, él todos los días, todos los días llegaba al mismo restaurante y pedía lo mismo, cheeseburger, siempre lo mismo.
190
They tell us that they'll make like a half a message and think they asked, mama ave, to eat that same burger, but, he knew it.
191
Just like, I know, so no, no, no, no, no, no. And then he came to the restaurant.
192
And then he gave them the gift, that they said and the breakfast.
193
And, like a half a month, eating cheeseburger.
194
He told us that he was eating, that he was thinking good, that he lived that language.
195
And that one time, the same cajero, he comes out and he told them, what cheeseburger is, the man he looks like there and says and listens.
196
He then said he's in Spanish.
197
And then he told him, I said, no, no joke, that is what you're talking Spanish.
198
I said, I said, I'm also an immigrant, brother.
199
I don't know, why not?
200
Well, you don't know.
201
You don't know what I'm saying?
202
I saw it.
203
But you don't know what I'm saying?
204
And I said, he said, I'm a full-time girl.
205
I'm a half a month.
206
I'm taking the same person.
207
It's a little bit of a burger.
208
I'm a madman.
209
I'm getting them on my own.
210
It's the only thing that's going to say in English.
211
I said, is that the case.
212
I'm going to get to get it out of here.
213
And I have to get it out of here, I said, what's wrong?
214
I said, no, no, no. lado que yo lo yo al español venga yo le
215
explico más o menos como de pie eso le explico que
216
lo que tiene el menú que es que sería desde ese
217
día en adelante ya pudo comer otro tipo de productos pero
218
que hasta ese momento hermano todos los días con cheeseburger todos
219
los hijos días con cheeseburger paz no que horror marica la verdad aparte de ahí empezó a comer cheeseburger
220
and fries cheeseburger and coke wang y burger
221

222

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
This video is a goldmine for english speaking practice because it blends real-life anecdotes with cultural linguistics, making it easy to connect with and mimic. The casual, conversational tone—filled with colloquial phrases and storytelling—mirrors how people actually speak, perfect for shadowspeak (repeating aloud to match rhythm and intonation). Plus, it ties English words to everyday scenarios, helping you remember vocabulary in context. Whether you’re learning English with YouTube or looking to boost fluency, this dialogue keeps you engaged while teaching practical language skills.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Let’s break down key structures to sharpen your skills:
- “Why do they say pollo to the kitchen?” This question uses the present simple to ask about a habitual practice, a common structure for explaining cultural norms. Practice forming similar questions: “Why do we call this ‘shotgun’ in English?”
- “They thought that was the name of the boat” Past simple + “that” clause shows reported speech, essential for storytelling. Try rephrasing: “She said that the word ‘rompoi’ comes from ‘round point.’”
- “We adapt words that come from foreign languages” Relative clauses (“that come from”) add detail, making your speech more descriptive. Use this: “I know a song that uses English words like ‘nice.’”
Common Pronunciation Traps
Improve English pronunciation by noting these tricky spots:
- “Chicken” vs. “kitchen” The video highlights how these words can be confused. Focus on the “ch” (tʃ) in “chicken” vs. “k” (k) in “kitchen,” and the short “i” (ɪ) in both. Repeat: “Chicken is in the kitchen.”
- “Shotgun” The “sh” (ʃ) and “t” (t) sounds blend quickly. Practice saying it slowly: “shot-gun,” then speed up to match natural speech.
- “Nice” The long “i” (aɪ) is often mispronounced as a short “i.” Say it like “n-eye-s” to get it right, as in “People is nice” (a colloquial adaptation from the video).
By shadowing these phrases and focusing on pronunciation, you’ll build confidence in real-world conversations. Ready to try? Hit play, repeat, and watch your English skills grow!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | people who lived · people who call · monday, which is |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | have been called · has been · I've already said |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | is called · have been called |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — an action in progress at a moment in the past | were talking · was coming · was eating |
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.
