Shadowing Practice: Comprehensible Input Challenge | Vocabulary with HAVE - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
today i'm going through a very brutal english challenge
2
and i'm going to talk about my everyday life
3
and i can only use the verb have and i have a hunch that this challenge is going to be way
4
harder than i think it is going to be and why
5
because if i slip up and use a normal action verb instead of have
6
when there is an expression with have and another expression exists
7
i will fail and get a punishment get a penalty and that's why i'm going to have a hard time
8
but don't worry.
9
And what's my punishment?
10
If I make mistakes, I mean if I don't use have when I can,
11
I will give one free roadmap to one of you for each mistake and a free worksheet for everyone.
12
So each mistakes means a roadmap for one person randomly
13
and one worksheet which I will post on my telegram channel i will deal with it
14
and speaking of hard times my stomach is already complaining actually i woke up very late
15
and i didn't have time to have a quick bite at home before i left
16
so now the first thing i'm gonna do is to have a bite
17
and my top priority is to find something to eat
18
and more importantly before my brain shuts down completely on camera I desperately need to have a cup of coffee
19
because that is how I usually kickstart my morning so
20
So this is the coffee style from which I'm going to buy the coffee.
21
So I'm going to have a word with the barista
22
and see if they have any fresh pastries to go with the coffee.
23
Got the coffee.
24
Actually, it's not coffee.
25
It's latte.
26
Oh, I just spilled some.
27
So yeah, it's iced latte and they didn't have any fresh pastries.
28
So I got a processed croissant.
29
Stepping back to this park,
30
which is noisy, I have mixed feelings about maintaining this strict grammar rule and trying to stick to it in this park,
31
which is very noisy and full of people
32
and still coffee curves everything regardless of how noisy
33
and crowded a place could be i just had a blast testing it
34
because if you know me i don't like coffee
35
and the only thing i can drink is latte
36
or a caramel macchiato so this is what i really liked and yeah i really had a blast
37
I really enjoyed having my breakfast.
38
And let me ask you a question.
39
Watching these kind of challenge vlogs, do you guys have a preference to watch videos like this outdoors
40
or do you like watching videos which are recorded indoors at home?
41
Tell me in the comments.
42
Oh, wait.
43
But looking at the time, I have a feeling that I'm way behind my schedule
44
and I will not be able to make it for my next appointment.
45
I had a very strict timeline in mind for this morning and if I miss my reservation,
46
my whole afternoon will be a mess.
47
Let's have a drive and let's catch the appointment.
48
First, we have to unlock the door and open the door.
49
Can you please have the door opened?
50
Thank you.
51
These are my recording equipment and thank you for having the door opened.
52
Now, let's get inside.
53
I had the car parked and now let's go to the barber shop.
54
We made it to the barber shop but looking through the window I'm seeing those sharp
55
clippers and i'm having second thoughts to change my hairstyle for this video
56
but i need to stick to the plan a neat trim
57
a neat haircut has a very big impact on how confident you feel so now let's head in.
58
Hi!
59
How are you?
60
Okay so I'm here to have a haircut
61
and you know it's been a long time since I had my last trim
62
and yeah so I want to get rid of all this bulk.
63
I told my barber that I have a lot on my plate today and we have to move
64
efficiently because I don't want to fall behind my schedule.
65
I want to have a light trim on the top to keep it manageable and I want to have the sides short.
66
Actually my barber has an eye for matching your head shape with your head style, with your hairstyle.
67
So I'm letting him to decide on the height of the face.
68
While the clipper is buzzing,
69
let's have a look at why native speakers say have a haircut and they don't say cut my hair.
70
Grammarians use have with subject
71
and a verb in order to make causative structures more clear
72
or let's say clearer
73
because after all you don't cut your hair somebody else cuts your hair for you
74
so that's why it's better to say have a haircut plus sitting here gives us the opportunity to have chats
75
and try to use everyday service vocabulary which you can use at any salon.
76
It is really important to have a say
77
and tell your barber what to do because you don't want to walk out with a hairstyle that you actually hate.
78
Now for the top scissor work you have to have patience
79
because a very small move and your hairstyle would be ruined okay we're done
80
and take a look at this fade I had to hand it to him
81
because he has done a seamless work that means there are no mistakes seamless
82
I have no doubt that getting my hair cut was the best choice
83
because I'm walking out of there like a totally new person.
84
So haircut complete.
85
Now that I look respectable,
86
let's head to the next location and have a go at the next language activities.
87
And the first one is to have my online lesson with one of my students.
88
How can you improve your writing?
89
First of all, you should have a kind of input.
90
One hour later.
91
The only way, but the first one I think which is the most.
92
Two hours later.
93
Listen, watch and write about it.
94
Three hours later.
95
Another one is to write about spending a lot of time outside
96
and it is already afternoon it's almost 6 pm 6 5
97
and i got really really really tired
98
and now i want to have a brief break and to be honest right now Well,
99
I'm really hungry and I have a massive appetite to eat something.
100
But first, I'm going to chill out and have a seat here.
101
Tonight, I'm going to have some friends over to my place
102
and this is where we get to learn our first phrasal verb with have
103
which is have over and it means to host guests and
104
if those guests ever bring up an argument you have to have it up with them which means to confront
105
the guests directly to resolve the issue and end the argument.
106
Notice what I have on today.
107
I'm just wearing a t-shirt, a pair of jeans and very comfy sneakers.
108
Because when you have a lot on your schedule, comfort is the key.
109
To be honest, phrasal verbs like this have a huge influence on how fluently you speak
110
and how native you sound while speaking.
111
And the reason is that they replace the stiff textbook verbs that they teach us in normal classrooms.
112
You can't control how fast native speakers talk,
113
especially in movies and series.
114
But you have full control over what phrases you practice daily and that is how you learn English.
115
If you're having trouble memorizing the phrases
116
that you learn every day like these you should try to
117
implement them to your daily life like we're doing right now

137
and it's time to go home I had a full schedule I managed to go over anything I planned for
138
and I'm really happy
139
and finally I arrived home after talking non-stop for a day
140
I of course need to have some drink have some water
141
while my mom is cooking let's have a discussion
142
and talk about the stuff we did
143
and have a quick revision of today's video let's take a
144
look at what we did today the coffee the haircut
145
and also the walk in the park
146
and what did they all have in common they all relied on the verb have
147
and collocations phrasal verbs and idioms
148
that we can make with it seeing all these phrases with
149
have at once might make you feel you're about to have a breakdown,
150
but just take a phrase at a time.
151
By practicing them in real-life context,
152
you have a huge advantage over the other students who only learn from static lists.
153
If you have a spare minute,
154
I want you to use that and make a sentence using one of the many expressions with have that I taught you.
155
And I also want you to type it in the comments so that I can check it and give you feedback.

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "Comprehensible Input Challenge | Vocabulary with HAVE" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.
Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.
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.
