Yep.
75
And when you say sorry, the damage is done.
76
It's already done.
77
Oh, I just said that.
78
You should still say sorry, but you can also stand up and speak up for somebody that's getting bullied.
79
Because when you speak up, you're not just changing your story, you could be changing theirs as well.

452
Are we about to see his ear?
453
I've never seen it.
454
FGTV.
455
We are going skiing!
456
Woo!
457
I've been snowboarding once, it's pretty fun.
458
All the positive emotions that came from the success, all of the views, the subscribers, the books, the New York Times bestsellers,
459
the awards that we would get.
460
DAAAAMM!
461
When I look in a mirror, it did not fix the hurt that I felt inside.
462
Aww.
463
I've been building this version of myself for people to applaud and the numbers went up, the brand grew, but I couldn't sleep.
464
I realized that I was running away from who I really was.
465
And honestly, the first place that I felt honest again was not online.
466
It was the last row of this church that I hadn't visited in years.
467
Go.
468
Hmm.
469
Sorry, I was, uh, just thinking that we should go back to church.
470
Oh, wow.

Okay, let's do it.
472
Nice.
473
So wait, is that his wife?
474
Let's go.
475
Faith.
476
Hey guys, faith is important.
477
If you can go back and tell your younger self one thing, what would you say?
478
What would he say?
479
Yeah.
480
Let me hear this advice.
481
I'd say, Vin, I know there's nothing that I can say to change your personality.
482
Is that his mom?
483
Awwww Dang, man
484
Dang Exactly, that's true guys!
485
Without a purpose.
486
Yep.
487
God doesn't measure you by what others see.
488
God doesn't waste what you survived.
489
And one day, you're gonna look back and realize that everything you survived was worth it.
490
Because what others intended to harm you, God intended for good.
491
Dang.
492
Oh, is that what his ear looks like?
493
But God's a much better author.
494
And when you tell your story, you're not only gonna change your life.
495
Oh, there's him rapping On him getting married And I'm not gonna tell you how this story ends,
496
but I promise you this It's gonna be a happy ending dang
497
Are you ready to tell the world what a nice story man?
498
That was a nice that was a nice story My name is Vince.
499
Oh, we're about to see the ear and creating social media with my family for the last 13 years.
500
Okay.
501
However, I haven't been completely honest with our audience.
502
There's been something I've been hiding, and now I want to talk about it.
503

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
This lesson uses a lively, conversational video to help you improve your speaking and listening skills. You'll follow a relatable story about a gamer facing teasing, practicing how to understand casual speech, mimic natural tone, and respond to everyday interactions. It's perfect for working on shadow speech—repeating lines right after the speakers to match their rhythm and emotion.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Learn
- Roasted: To mock or tease someone harshly (e.g., "He roasted him for not reading well").
- Rustle: The soft sound of leaves or paper moving (e.g., "The tree where the leaves rustle").
- Bullying: Hurting or intimidating someone repeatedly (e.g., "The kid is bullying him in front of the teacher").
- Casual exclamations: Phrases like "Oh my gosh!" and "Dang" to show surprise or frustration.
- Sound out: To figure out a word by saying its letters (e.g., "Just sound out the words").
Practice Tips for Shadowing Success
The video's speed is conversational—fast but not overwhelming—making it ideal for the shadowing technique. Here's how to practice:
- Watch the video once to get the story. Then, play short clips (5-10 seconds) and repeat immediately. Focus on matching the speakers' tone—like the shock in "Oh my gosh!" or the frustration in "This teacher sucks!"
- Use a shadowing app or shadowing site to slow down parts if needed, but aim to keep up with the original speed. This helps you get used to real-life speech patterns.
- Pay attention to pauses and emphasis. For example, when the speaker says, "Just try your best, bro," the stress is on "best"—mimic that to sound natural.
- Practice daily for 10-15 minutes. Over time, you'll notice your shadowspeak (the ability to repeat speech quickly) improves, and you'll feel more confident in casual conversations.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — an action that started earlier and is still going on | I've been snowboarding · I've been building · I've been hiding |
| “Used to” used to + verb — a past habit or state that is no longer true | used to rap |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | I've seen · I've never worn · hasn't played |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | is based · is rustled · is done |
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.
