Shadowing Practice: KID ONLY BUYS DESIGNER CLOTHES!! - Learn English Speaking with Video

Okay, so apparently this 10 year old only wears designer clothing.

Yeah, like, you see the shirt I'm wearing?

Yeah, she wouldn't wear this because it doesn't have a Gucci logo on it.

But guys, of course it's a Dhar Mann video, so she instantly regrets it.

Look at this cute pencil case I found for you.

Okay.

Cute.

You're kidding, right?

Oh, yes, it doesn't have the Gucci logo.

I can't be seen with that.

Oh, trash.

I want a Kipling pencil case.

Oh, Kipling.

What even?

Oh, 50.

Whoa, $54 for a pencil case.

Oh, heck no. I would throw that at her face.

I'd just be like, boom.

It's like 10 times more expensive.

Mia, they both get the job done just fine.

Exactly.

I'm gonna get this one and save some money.

I don't care if they both get the job done.

If I show up to school with that ugly thing, it'll be so embarrassing.

Bro, who taught her this stuff?

What?

It's not that bad.

Noah, I need to have the best of everything.

Okay, you spoiled little brat.

I'm getting this.

I love Vera Bradley's new collection.

Vera Bradley's?

What designer is that?

How about this one?

Ew, I can't put my food in that.

What's wrong with it?

Look, either I'm getting the Vera Bradley or I'm not eating lunch.

What she's gonna starve herself to death just cuz it's not in a designer bag Oh, no, I don't I don't want that that does not have Gucci on it.

So I'm I'm gonna die of starvation Do you want me to starve?

I didn't think so.

Oh That she needs some discipline her mommy's up whooper All right, I think you got everything you need for school.

So oh No Let me guess that $1,000.

I don't think you need an 150 oh nah, bro.

Oh, come on What about this one these are good backpacks and It's a third of the price exactly well,

let's do the math here Okay, backpack was 150 the pencil case was what 50 and the Litchbox was 50 so that's That's $250 for three things.

But you've already got everything else you've wanted.

And this backpack is like, $100 more?

No, no, no, no, no!

Oh, no. I need one that matches my lunch bag.

I, no. Don't you love me?

Aw, she's playing the love card.

Are you serious?

Don't you love me?

It needs to have Gucci on it.

Come on, mom.

Don't listen to her, okay?

Do not buy it for her.

Yes, of course I love you.

Then we're getting this one.

Oh.

Guys, never be like this little girl.

Seriously.

Oh my gosh, she actually bought that.

This is most people's mostly rent.

Rent on that stuff?

I tried to convince her to choose something more affordable, but she just threw a fit.

Well, what did you have when you were a kid?

I mean, did you have a $50 pencil case?

$50 cup of case is crazy.

You know I grew up poor.

I had a plastic bag for a pencil case, and I packed my lunch in a brown paper bag, and we were so broke that instead of having a backpack, I had to use a grocery store tote.

Aw.

Okay.

Why can't you explain that to her?

Maybe if you tell her about how you had it when you were growing up- What is she doing?

She'll be able to appreciate more- What the- is she- Did she just throw those on the ground?

I'm so hungry, yeah.

No way she's about to say they need designer food.

Why isn't there anything good to eat?

Okay, she's trolling, look at that.

Froot Loops right there, bagels are bussing, chicken right there.

I want sushi.

Sushi?

Come on.

Do you wanna tell her?

So, spill all the tea, tell me about your guys' stuff.

Horrible.

You should tell him about Jacob.

No way.

Ew, that's one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.

Oh my gosh, this girl's annoying.

What are you talking about?

That thing on your back, Opi?

It's just a backpack.

No, this is a backpack.

Complete with a matching lunchbox, of course.

That's good for you guys.

She's a bully, bro.

Come on.

100

She's an L.

101

What's so funny?

102

Oh, nothing.

103

It's just your lunchbox doesn't even match your backpack.

104

And it looks like something a kindergartner would wear.

105

What?

106

Ever?

107

I went to school for like 18 years, guys.

108

Yes, I'm pretty old.

109

But I have never met someone with a matching backpack and a matching lunchbox.

110

I've never seen it.

111

I love sisters in kindergarten and she would not wear anything like that.

112

Aw, I feel bad.

113

No way!

114

Yeah, my mom tried to give me one of these

115

and I told her I want to be caught dead with something like this.

116

Bro, I'm not gonna lie.

117

I'm sorry I hate this little girl.

118

I do not like this girl.

119

Knock it off.

120

Oops.

121

Why would you do that?

122

No way.

123

Oh, come on.

124

I'm doing you a favor.

125

I mean, that pencil case is so cheap and ugly anyways.

126

You should have your mom buy you a new one.

127

My parents don't have enough money to buy me a new one.

128

Sucks to be you then.

129

Oh my gosh!

130

Did anybody teach her manners?

131

Bro, she's bullying like crazy.

132

I'm not gonna lie.

133

Mia Connelly, what do you think you're doing?

134

You do not speak to your fellow students that way.

135

Yes.

136

And I need you to apologize to Lydia this instant.

137

Yeah, tell her.

138

Apologies for what?

139

It's true.

140

Aww.

141

Bye, Brokie.

142

Did she just call her a Brokie?

143

Wait, what?

144

We're so disappointed in you.

145

Yes.

146

We thought we raised you better than this.

147

Well, you didn't.

148

I think it was okay to be so mean to that girl.

149

Lydia was asking for it.

150

I mean, she's lucky I didn't say anything about her clothes.

151

You should have seen them.

152

Bro, this girl is so annoying.

153

I'm sorry if I keep pausing it, but this girl is actually making me mad.

154

Not everyone is as fortunate as you.

155

Just because mommy and daddy can afford to buy you very nice things

156

doesn't give you the right to make fun of children who have less privilege than you.

157

Exactly.

158

Your mom is right.

159

You have to be more sensitive to the fact

160

that a lot of kids your age are not able to have what you have.

161

Whatever.

162

We're rich.

163

So what if other kids don't have money?

164

That's not my problem.

165

Can you even understand how little your mom and dad had when we were growing up?

166

Don't know.

167

Don't care.

168

Oh my gosh.

169

You know what?

170

Enough is enough.

171

Since you want to be this way, we're taking away your Kipling pencil pack.

172

Yes.

173

Thank you.

174

Take everything away.

175

I want everything gone.

176

She needs to be wearing all the cheapest stuff.

177

You can say goodbye to the matching lunch bag.

178

Yes.

179

Take it all away.

180

Bye bye.

181

What?

182

No. That's so unfair.

183

You can't take my stuff away.

184

Oh yes, we can.

185

Yes, we can.

186

Because clearly you're not going to learn how to appreciate them until they're taken away.

187

And until you learn your lesson, Dad is going to lock them away.

188

Say goodbye.

189

What am I supposed to use instead?

190

We have just the thing.

191

Yes, the regular stuff.

192

Here you go.

193

Dad.

194

Ew.

195

Oh, we got a little Dharaman montage.

196

Okay.

197

Aww.

198

I'm not gonna lie, I don't even feel bad either.

199

She deserves this.

200

Oh, the brown paper bag.

201

Oh, they don't want to be friends with her anymore, okay.

202

Aww, that face.

203

Hi honey, how was school?

204

Horrible, I can't believe how mean other kids can be.

205

Really?

206

You can't believe it?

207

You were right mom. About what?

208

When you said I won't appreciate what I have until it's gone.

209

I feel bad for the way I treated Lydia now.

210

I like to hear that.

211

It sounds like you truly learned your lesson.

212

I'm not gonna lie, I still would not give her stuff back.

213

Which means that you can get your stuff back.

214

Oh, but she still got her stuff back.

215

Seriously?

216

Absolutely.

217

Oh my gosh.

218

I'm never gonna take this for granted again.

219

I hope not.

220

221

Wait is she gonna give it

222

if she gives it to her she deserves it back alright

223

she truly learned her lesson Wait up Can I talk to you?

224

Why?

225

So you can make fun of me some more?

226

No I promise I just wanted to say sorry for the way I treated you You didn't deserve that

227

Thanks I appreciate that And to show you how sorry I really am I wanted to give you this What is it, the lunch box?

228

We, uh, actually don't have a car.

237

Aww.

238

So I just walk home.

239

Oh my gosh, do you want a ride?

240

I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind.

241

242

No way!

243

You guys have a Porsche?

244

I've never been in one before.

245

If you want, you could come to my house and then we could drop you off.

246

Sure, that sounds fun.

247

Let's go.

248

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.
