How Green Green kind of started was we had like a big discussion and a meeting
21
with all our producers and including me, our team members.
22
We discussed about what we wanted to do, what kind of stuff, what kind of sounds we wanted to make,
23
how we wanted to sound like in this album and what kind of stories did we want to tell in this album.
24
And that kind of got album sound and the storyline all narrowed down
25
to one kind of style that we wanted and
26
that feel kind of goes through the whole album
27
and red red is what we deny to do
28
and green green is what we pursue to do so it's like
29
that idea kind of is the basic idea of the album
30
so the reason why green green is green green is
31
because it's including the stuff that we like and it's our lifestyle
32
so that's the whole album yeah I think green green red
33
red like people can like think it's all about colors
34
but I think it it's more of a kind of the metaphor
35
that really counts I think it's like meaning in in it like what we pursue what we want to do
36
and like it's more of a movement yeah what we push back
37
and I wish all these snacks could be green green we
38
keep an open I think this album is really made from our lifestyle basically.
39
Like the visuals, photos, videos, every part of this album we kind of wanted to put those things that we kind of love.

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.
