Shadowing Practice: I Beat Counter-Strike - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Have you ever heard about Steam?
2
Yeah, me neither, but apparently it has a bunch of cool games.
3
Maybe even too many.
4
And the best part?
5
Most of them have achievements.
6
If you complete all of them, it means you fully beat the game.
7
And I always wanted to complete this one game on Steam. But here's the problem.
8
Even though the game came out three years ago, it only has one achievement just for launching the game
9
so does it mean i'm already done with it or am i
10
that's when i used my hacking experience
11
and i found nothing i don't really know how to hack
12
yeah that's why i decided to ask you guys to come up with the achievement so we can finally beat the game.
13
It was a mistake.
14
Before we begin, let me explain the rules.
15
Instead of having the entire list, I will only have two active achievements to complete.
16
As soon as one is done, it changes to the next one.
17
Some of them will be easy.
18
Yeah, that was the first itching we did, by the way.
19
And some will make me love the game even more.
20
And hey, don't forget to subscribe for close to 100 subs.
21
Maybe even leave a like as well.
22
All right, thank you.
23
Enjoy the video.
24
All right, here's the plan.
25
I'm gonna hide in apps, wait for someone to push, hit them in the head with a knock, and kill them in the night.
26
Easy peasy.
27
Right?
28
Even though I just completed two achievements, for some reason I decided to count only one.
29
I don't know, am I stupid?
30
What are you trying to do with the nades?
31
I'm doing the CS2 achievements.
32
Did they add them?
33
Yeah.
34
Oh, shit.
35
I have an idea.
36
How about I throw a nade and you kill me?
37
No, no, no. I'm gonna hit a dude three times in the body.
38
Uh -huh.
39
And then you'll throw it at him.
40
I died.
41
I did not hit him.
42
Jesus, pretty easy.
43
No!
44
I was lagging what happened
45
All right, go.
46
Wait, guys.
47
Does the team kill Cap?
48
Yo, what up?
49
Grab this one.
50
I need your gun, buddy.
51
Wait, wait, wait.
52
Don't...
53
Wait, don't kill them.
54
Thank you.
55
Wait, wait.
56
I have four.
57
Let me just...
58
How does it count as four kills?
59
It doesn't say enemy.
60
We found this great bull out on the wall.
61
What should I draw steam happy?
62
Let me try
63
Beautiful beautiful What are you doing?
64
It's time to upgrade with CS Money.
65
They have over a million skins ready to buy and trade with prices lower than Steam.
66
You can buy or sell using PayPal, crypto or just trade your old skins.
67
And now with their brand new instant cash out feature, instead of waiting through that annoying trade lock, you can cash out your money immediately.
68
So what are you waiting for?
69
Follow the link below and check it out yourself.
70
Get a kill by using cons.
71
They defuse.
72

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.
