63
trying more i just don't know what's the go to order um pad thai okay i've had pad thai no
64
but the local the real pad thai no i haven't had
65
that okay well get on that you have to put it on the checklist
66
that sounds great yeah um with a new ep coming in october press
67
so exciting press play yeah what led you to
68
that title like what does it mean to you
69
and why did you name it press play i feel like
70
every single song they have like their own character their own story
71
so it's like a movie so you just like press play oh i love
72
that yeah kind of like alter ego too right where you get to play different roles
73
and everything yeah that's amazing well you said how music connects us all you know internationally beyond language
74
so how cool is it to have you know a bit of thai infused in this album
75
and people getting to sing those words without even maybe knowing
76
what they mean i i mean no i think they know now what it means
77
because um sawadika means uh hello in thai
78
and after this uh single came out like every like
79
when i walk around they're just like hello sawadika lisa
80
and i'm like oh my god that's so sweet that's
81
so fun yeah so you can just say
82
that to each other like yeah because it's greeting it's hello basically
83
so it's really nice that you know they uh they love my culture
84
and they just said it in hi to me now yeah
85
yeah sawadika is such a good one what is another word
86
like something from your native language where like you'd be
87
so excited to have people adopt into their own
88
or like food word something from the culture sawadika i think uh sometimes they're not only saying hi
89
but they never say means thank you.
90
Okay.
91
Yeah, so sometimes they're like, they don't know how to say thank you.
92
So yeah, I would love to do thank you.
93

94
I thought you were going to say, we always say hi, but we never say bye.
95
Oh.
96
What's goodbye?
97
Goodbye?
98
We don't really say goodbye.
99
Really?
100
We just say bye.
101

And not only that, but, like, on the main stage, Sahara, you had one of the largest crowds.
109
And I was so curious, being back this year as a surprise guest, which one's more exciting?
110
Like, getting to bring your show and have one of the biggest crowds or get to be a surprise guest where, you know, you see the crowd go nuts when, you know, the reveal happens.
111
I feel like it's the same.
112
It's like I always have, like, weird feelings, like pressure and also exciting at the same time
113
so I feel like both of them is fun
114
but it's a different fun
115
because like the last year no the last year yeah actually is last time flying by last time
116
when I show alone for my solo it's like it's a
117
lot of pressure yeah you know it's like my own show 50 minutes
118
but this time it's like with Anima so it's more like lights fun show
119
but also pressure you know yeah because I want to do well
120

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.
