So, I hope you're ready.
10
Let's start.
11
Lauren.
12
Lauren.
13
It's almost as if it was written L -O -R -E -N.
14
Okay.
15
And actually, I didn't realize that that actually is a name here, I've been told.
16
Lauren is also a name here?
17
I guess so, because when I get my Starbucks coffee now, I don't have to say some other weird name like Maria or Stephanie.
18
I say, Lauren, and then they get it and they write it L -O -R -E -N.
19
Okay.
20
I had no idea.
21
Nice.
22
So why did you come to Colombia?
23
Or when did you come to Colombia?
24
Aquí, why did you come to Colombia?
25
When did you come to Colombia?
26
Esta es la manera de hacer preguntas en inglés.
27
Usamos lo que se llama un verbo modal, en este caso do.
28
Entonces decimos, why did you come to Colombia?
29
Did es el verbo do en pasado.
30
When did you come to Colombia?
31
Entonces no decimos, when you came to Colombia?
32
Decimos, when did you come to Colombia?
33
Como una pregunta, why did you come to Colombia?
34
Why did you go to Colombia?
35
Entonces, por ejemplo, si quieres decir cuando viniste a Colombia o cuando te fuiste para Colombia, no conjugamos el verbo.
36
Simplemente decimos el verbo modal en pasado si estamos hablando en el pasado.
37
Por ejemplo, why did you go to Colombia?
38
Go no está conjugado, ¿cierto?
39
No decimos went.
40
Decimos why did you go?
41
When did you go?
42
When did you come?
43
Todos esos verbos no están conjugados.
44
Es simplemente do que estamos conjugando al pasado en este sentido para preguntar cosas al pasado, ¿verdad?
45
¿Cuándo fuiste a Colombia?
46
¿Por qué fuiste a Colombia?
47
¿Por qué fuiste a Colombia?
48
¿Cuándo fuiste a Colombia?
49
Okay, so I came to Colombia, the first time I ever visited Colombia was when I was doing a study abroad in Perú.
50
Ahora, ella dijo, the first time I ever came to Colombia, entonces ella no está haciendo una pregunta,
51
entonces simplemente está conjugando el verbo come en pasado.
52
The first time I came to Colombia, or the first time I came to Latin America, la primera vez que fui o llegué a Colombia, ta ta ta ta ta.
53
Okay, entonces cuando haces preguntas, utilizas el verbo modal do.
54
Did you go to Colombia?
55
Why did you go to Colombia?
56
I went to Colombia because...
57
So, in the States, four years is the university.
58
Like the bachelor's degree.
59
Yes, yes, four years.
60
And so I spent my entire third year in Peru, Lima.
61
At that point, I was like, I don't know, 65 % fluency.
62
I wanted to get to 100 % fluency, so I made sure that I spent...
63
Made sure, eso es una manera muy americana de pronunciar la palabra sure.
64
Entonces vas a escuchar tanto sure como sure.
65
Es la misma palabra.
66
Make sure o make sure significa asegurarse de algo.
67
in a program that was, you know, zero English, I lived with a host family who did not speak any English, etc. So, in my time there,
68
I found out that I had a cousin who lived here.
69
Ella utilizó el verbo frazal found out.
70
Found out quiere decir descubrió.
71
Entonces, para decirlo en presente decimos find out.
72
To find out quiere decir descubrir.
73
Entonces, Because she found out,
74
she discovered that she had a cousin who lived here.
75
And this was the place I always wanted to visit
76
because I had a long time friend from college who was from here.
77
So I visited for the first time in December 2015 and after literally the first day I was like...
78
This is where I want to live.
79
Hands down.
80
Hands down.
81
Una expresión súper común en Estados Unidos.
82
Hands down.
83
Sinceramente, absolutamente, totalmente sincero esto.
84
También, hands down quiere decir, pues manos abajo, ¿verdad?
85
Entonces no hay opción, como que no hay defensa.
86
Hands down.
87
Es sinceramente lo más honesto posible.
88
Esto es tal cosa.
89
I remember I went to a bar or a club once in Medellín
90
when I just arrived here and we went out and they sat us down at this table.
91
We went out, went out.
92
Así se hablan los americanos, ¿verdad?
93
We went out, we went out.
94
Went out es el pasado de go out, que quiere decir salir, salir de rumba, salir de fiesta.
95
and we went out and they sat us down at this table
96
and it was in a cantina so they started playing music
97
and we had just gotten our beers and i started sipping on my beer
98
and then they put on this song and the whole table just stood up
99
and started dancing and like like said to me kelly you got to go up
100
and dance now i'm like oh please let me finish my
101
beer you know one beer at least you know yeah
102
so yeah they know how to have a good time they know how to have a good time i love
103
that that's so cool
104
so I mean to answer your question though like why I
105
came here I've always wanted to have an abroad living experience
106
in Latin America yeah like Spanish was always the I always
107
had this affinity to like Latin culture in Spanish yeah so
108
and I knew that after I graduated was like the best time to do it
109
so I went to college with a lot of Colombians Ecuadorians
110
and Dominicans okay and by the second year of my college time I was the president of our Latino organization.
111
Imagine a gringa being the president of a Latino organization.
112
I got to know the Latino population on campus a lot.
113
And I just dove head first with my study abroad.
114
I dove head first.
115
Esa es una expresión muy típica en Estados Unidos.
116
To dive first.
117
Ahora en el pasado, dove first.
118
Es lo que ella dice.
119
To dive first quiere decir yo entré a esa cosa sin pensar, sin nada de preparación, I just dove in.
120
Dive head first.
121
En presente.
122
Dove head first.
123
Pasado.
124
Cuando algo está checking off all my boxes, eso quiere decir que una cosa está cumpliendo todas tus expectativas
125
check off a box es una caja y un cheque no
126
entonces cuando algo está haciendo check en todas tus cajas eso quiere decir que está cumpliendo todas tus expectativas
127
graduated medellín was just checking off all my boxes i mean medellín in particular
128
because that's a very personal decision as to yeah where you live you know where you move long term
129
so latino men or american men latino men although i have to say
130
that there are some things i don't like about
131
that like what things that i do like or don't like
132
that you don't like um the machismo it's very easy for them to like like just not see it yeah
133
because their their culture raises them conditions them to be to be like

136

I'm fasted right now.
341
That's why I'm so hyper.
342
Yeah, I need to try that.
343
Yeah.
344
So, let's end this amazing conversation with a little bit more of a deeper question.
345
So, there are a lot of Latino people watching these videos and they really want to learn English, to improve their lives and,
346
you know, go ahead and make progress, but many of them are frustrated, right, because they don't learn as fast as they want to,
347
they, you know, they might be ashamed of their pronunciation.
348
What would be like one tip from you being a native English speaker?
349
One tip, un tip, un consejo.
350
A tip es un consejo.
351
I'm not a native English speaker, you're a native English speaker.
352
What would you, like, a one tip be to all of those people watching this, maybe a little bit frustrated, like, oh, she speaks, she speaks so beautifully, I want to speak like her.
353
Like, what would be one tip for them?
354
So, um, I'll give a tip and then I want to give sort of a little story part of it.
355
Okay.
356
She says, I'll give a tip.
357
I'll give a tip.
358
Puedes decir tip o tep, dependiendo del acento, ¿no?
359
Ella es de Nebraska, Estados Unidos, y aunque el acento americano es muy parecido en todas las partes de Estados Unidos,
360
de todos modos hay diferencias, ¿no?
361
Entonces, es probable que vayas a escuchar una palabra que se
362
pronuncia un poquito extraño porque es de otro acento de Estados Unidos.
363
okay um
364
so the tip here is actually sort of what i was
365
explaining to kale before we started filming i said you know um like we were you know fixing ourselves
366
and wanted to look good for the camera you know
367
and people um respond to more naturalness i said you know making mistakes
368
and they want to see that stuff
369
because they want to see we're human right and um i just think if you take that same perspective.
370
They want to see we're human.
371
They want to see we're human.
372
We are we're they want to see we're human.
373
Así se habla naturalmente casualmente de manera más nativa.
374
Las palabras muchas veces se comen entonces es importante de que estés consciente de esto para que puedas notarlo cuando lo escuchas.
375
Entonces ahora sabes que they want to see we're human quiere decir they They want to see we are human.
376
Quieren ver que somos humanos.
377
Escucha la R.
378
Consejo de pronunciación.
379
Si quieres sonar más nativo, exagera muchísimo tus R's.
380
Igual como yo exagero mis erres cuando hablo español, de rrrrr, así.
381
Haz lo mismo, pero de una manera más inglés nativo.
382
Aquí, profundamente en tu garganta.
383
Rrr, rrr.
384
Really, really.
385
And that's a really good thing to be making mistakes, because then you either won't make those mistakes again, or you just know that you're improving.
386
Yeah.
387
So, I always say, you know, You know, the faster you can become more comfortable with sounding like a complete idiot,
388
the better off you will be.
389
Because, trust me, like...
390
The better off you'll be.
391
Una oración medio complicada.
392
The better off you'll be.
393
Empezamos con better off.
394
To be better off quiere decir tener una mejor posición o estar en una posición más ventajosa.
395
Entonces, the better off, you'll be.
396
You'll be is you will be.
397
Serás.
398
Entonces, lo que quiere decir Lauren aquí es, cuanto más rápido te sientas cómodo o cómoda cometiendo errores, en mejor posición estarás.
399
Básicamente.
400
Swedish I'm completely different
401
because I in Swedish I actually have a different accent I have a southern Swedish accent
402
which is a weird one
403
and is sort of like there's there are a couple of stereotypes related to
404
that accent that you know sort of you can identify with
405
so completely agree with you but then so the point of it all is
406
that you know you just push through
407
and then you just become more comfortable making mistakes you just
408
push through push quiere decir empujar through a través empujar a
409
través que aguantar entonces la conclusión aquí es cuanto más rápido
410
te sientas cómodo cometiendo errores mejor te rendida you just push through
411
and then you just become more comfortable making mistakes yeah a
412
huge part of it too is like going back to your why like it it
413
and this sounds very cheesy again
414
but like anything you're doing with anything you're doing you really
415
need to have those specific reasons even like write them down so
416
that the moments where you're getting really going back to your
417
why volver a tu por qué it's cheesy it's cheesy What does this mean?
418
When something is cheesy, something that you'll hear in the movies that you're back to say many times, that you've heard a million times, it's like, ay, qué cheesy.
419
I've heard it a million times.
420
Ugh.
421
Like, eh, qué tonto.
422
it's very cheesy again
423
but like anything you're doing with anything you're doing you really
424
need to have those specific reasons even like write them down
425
so that the moments where you're getting really frustrated
426
and you're just like to hell with this like i don't
427
want to do this anymore to hell with this to hell with this a la mierda con esto básicamente quiero decir
428
go back to that desire that that initial desire
429
and yeah just know that the frustrations you're having right now are temporary yeah you know
430
and if i can add something to that
431
that might sound a little controversial but english
432
or languages in general is not intellectual things so
433
if you want to learn learning a language is not like learning mathematics
434
so mathematics is an intellectual topic whereas you need to understand you need to make connections in your brain yeah
435
and that's you know if you're smart it's easier if you're not
436
so smart it's super super hard whereas with languages it is more a question of exposure
437
and repetition and acquiring new vocabulary
438
so you know there are 300 million Americans something like that
439
and there are amazing people like you and all those amazing entrepreneurs
440
that build huge companies in the US
441
but there are also a lot of crazy people in America
442
and all of them speak perfect English so it basically tells us
443
that it's not an intellectual So we don't need to punish ourselves with the thought that, oh, I'm bad at English, or I'm stupid, or...
444
We don't need to punish ourselves with the thought that we're stupid.
445
No tenemos que castigarnos a nosotros mismos con el pensamiento o la creencia de que seamos estúpidos, ¿ok?
446
Porque el inglés no es un tema intelectual.
447
Es solo cuestión de repetición, de exposición y de adquisición de nuevo vocabulario.
448
So we don't need to punish ourselves with the thought
449
that oh I'm bad at English or I'm stupid
450
or i'm just a slow
451
because it's just a matter like it's it's it's just the fact
452
that you just haven't exposed yourself enough to the language you haven't studied enough
453
and your mistakes is basically proof of that it's just basically
454
that so if you if you think if or if you feel
455
that you're not good at english or you're not talented enough always go back to that thought
456
and think you know what i am smart i'm smart enough
457
i learned my first language i can learn any language it's just a matter of exposure yeah
458
and I also want to mention and add something that I love
459
because I I also want to mention I also want to mention wanna is want to también quiero mencionar
460
and I also want to mention and add something that I love
461
because I tell myself
462
and I always say this to my audience as well I
463
don't want to be perfect at Spanish you know why because
464
if I am perfect at Spanish so perfect
465
that anyone who meets me with Spanish Spanish muy americano pronunciación
466
muy americana que que las a veces se pronuncian así muy agresivamente
467
Spanish Spanish en lugar de Spanish Spanish vas a escuchar eso
468
mucho de nativos de inglés de Estados Unidos me would immediately
469
think I'm Latina it it actually kind of takes away from allowing others to see how mistakes are vital
470
and it puts up this like image yeah
471
that is not always attainable by everybody I want to be always relatable yeah in my process
472
because I did learn it from zero i don't have one drop of latino blood
473
or any family members
474
that helped me out you know like this was um um
475
due to my own efforts yeah right this was due to
476
my own efforts esto fue gracias a mis propios esfuerzos yeah
477
and i kind of like you know i i have sort of like improve my Spanish a lot
478
and it was fun back when I was you know struggling a lot creating sentences
479
because people are like you're very very exotic yeah it was
480
more like an ego thing you know they want it was not not not
481
not realistic yeah
482
and we should never try to even attain perfection no i
483
think with languages you're constantly learning you're always learning yeah i haven't even arrived at 100 fluency
484
and that's what makes it fun isn't it
485
because i haven't even arrived i have not arrived i haven't
486
arrived no he llegado i haven't even arrived incluso aun no
487
he llegado i haven't even arrived at 100 % fluency
488
and that's what makes it fun isn't it because yeah I'm always learning
489
and I went on a date a couple months ago with
490
a Brazilian girl I went on a date I went on
491
a date I went on a date I went on a date a date
492

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.
