Shadowing Practice: confessing to my college campus crush... - Learn English Speaking with Video

So I recently got in a class with a very pretty

Korean girl named Michelle We both have the same Korean class and I low-key been chatting up with her.

I can't even lie.

How you doing?

I'm not in the class.

Yeah!

She literally asked, can I sit next to you?

And then after that I was like, yeah shorty, you can sit next to me.

You looking good today.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Get out!

Huh?

Help me!

I'm just joking.

I don't even think she knows who I am yet.

But that's when I realized maybe for her, it's a little awkward to talk to a handsome guy like me during class.

So that's when I realized the best way I can talk to her is by following her home.

What?

Welcome back to Rizzing with Hany.

This is the plan.

We're going to first follow her home.

Second, we're going to convince her to help me after class with my Korean homework.

Third, we're gonna take her to get some boba Cause you know, these Asian girls, you know They be liking boba and stuff, so you know Finally, after we give them some boba We take them to a nice,

beautiful spot And we're gonna ask her out and see what she says This is Rizing with Hany

One eternity later.

Yeah, boy.

People say always follow her home, so I guess follow her home.

Stop it.

Get some help.

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.
