There is one example.

I went to a city like this on vacation last year.
4
There were lots of high buildings next to the river there, too.
5
Oh.
6
Well, would you like to colour some of this picture?
7
Sure.
8
There's a man on a seat.
9
Can I colour his newspaper?
10
Alright.
11
Make it pink.
12
Fine.
13
Can you see the pink newspaper?
14
This is an example.
15
Now you listen and colour and write.
16
One.
17
What else would you like me to color?
18
How about a suitcase?
19
You could color one of those. Which one?
20
The one on the ground by the entrance to the building?
21
Yes, please.
22
Okay.
23
How about making that blue?
24
Good idea.
25
Use that color.
26
2. I'd like you to write something here, too, please.

I'm quite good at that. Of course.

The boy who's looking over the bridge has got a backpack on his back.

Only its pocket.

Make it orange.

I love that color.

We need a name for the hotel, too.
50

That's a good idea.
52
Well, there's a board above its double doors.
53
Can you see it?
54
It's got plants on it.
55
Write it there.
56
Alright.

We'll call it Star Hotel.

And perhaps you should color one of the flags before we finish.
65
The one at the back of the boat?
66
I don't think so.
67
Color the one in the park, by the path, please.
68

Imagine This: Coloring a City Scene While Practicing English!

The video takes you into a fun, everyday conversation where two people color and label a busy city picture—think rivers, boats, backpacks, and hotels. It’s the perfect scenario for learning how to talk about tasks, describe objects, and follow instructions, all while sounding natural. Whether you’re planning a vacation or just chatting about hobbies, these skills stick with you!

5 Must-Memorize Chunks to Sound Like a Pro

  • "How about making that..." – Great for suggesting colors or ideas (e.g., "How about making the suitcase blue?").
  • "Write a name on the front of..." – Perfect for labeling objects, like boats or hotels.
  • "The one on the ground by the entrance" – A clear way to describe where something is (no more "over there" confusion!).
  • "Only its pocket. Nothing else." – Learn to specify parts of an object, like a backpack’s pocket.
  • "I hope it's not a long word" – A relatable phrase for when you’re asked to write something (we’ve all been there!).

Your Shadowing Challenge: Speak Like the Speakers—Right Now!

Ready to turn listening into speaking? This is where shadow speak (or shadow speech) works magic. Play the dialogue, pause after each line, and repeat it immediately—copy the tone, speed, and even the pauses. Focus on phrases like "Good idea. Use that color" to nail natural rhythm. For extra practice, visit a shadowing site to find more short dialogues, or search for shadowspeak tips to refine your technique. Remember: every repeat gets you closer to sounding like a native. You’ve got this—start now, and you’ll hear progress in minutes!

Pro tip: Record yourself and compare it to the original. You’ll be shocked how quickly shadowspeaks (yes, that’s the skill in action!) makes your English flow smoother. Let’s go—your next conversation is waiting!

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

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.
