58
and i will let the garlic fry a little can you see me guys i'm loving to this video, let's go!
59
I am frying the garlic and then I'm gonna add two cups of rice wait a minute,
60
let me wait just a minute, one, two, and we don't water the rice in here
61
so we don't wash the rice but I know
62
that many people in Brazil used to wash the rice but we don't and now I'm gonna add salt and water
63
so while the rice cooks i'm going to prepare my carrot
64
and i have to cut two parts of my carrot wait
65

I have to eat kale every day because I have anemia.
72
And I have to take my medicine.
73
Oh gosh, I almost forgot.
74
Wait a minute.
75
I always thought that it was to cut the kale because we say cut, cut the meat.
76
But no, it is to slice the kale.
77
Don't ask me why, I have no idea
78
but actually it makes more sense
79
because we don't cut like in quarters we cut in slices
80
so that's why it's slice the kale actually it makes more
81
sense guys i hate cooking like literally i hate cooking i don't like doing it
82
if i could i would order food every single day
83
but i can't because it's not healthy and I just can't spend that amount of money with food.

About This Lesson

You're practicing English with "Cooking Vlog 🍳 | Pratique Seu Inglês com Áudio em Inglês" 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.
