Why Maluma's Skincare Routine Video Is Great for English Speaking Practice
This casual, conversational clip is perfect for IELTS speaking practice and everyday English learning. Maluma’s relaxed tone, real-life anecdotes, and mix of simple and slightly complex sentences make it easy to follow while exposing you to natural speech patterns. Plus, talking about routines is a common IELTS topic—so you’ll build practical skills while enjoying the content. It’s a prime example of how to learn English with YouTube in a fun, engaging way.
Breaking Down Natural English in the Dialogue
Let’s look at a few lines that sound authentic and why they work:
- “Cold, cold, cold, cold. Freezing water but it's very good because sometimes I wake up like swollen and stuff.” The repetition of “cold” and casual “and stuff” mimic how people speak in real life—no formal structure, just raw expression. This is great for practicing fluency and natural pauses.
- “I started taking care of my skin after I finished playing soccer—all the sun that I was receiving was crazy.” The dash adds a conversational break, and “was crazy” is a common, informal way to emphasize intensity. It shows how to connect ideas smoothly without overcomplicating sentences.
- “You guys know how important is the beer for me… or now that I shaved?” The slight self-correction (“or now that I shaved”) is typical in spontaneous speech. It teaches you to embrace imperfection and keep the conversation flowing, a key skill for IELTS speaking practice.
A Simple Shadowing Practice Routine for This Video
Use the shadowing technique to master Maluma’s rhythm and pronunciation. Here’s how: 1. Watch the video once to understand the context. 2. Play a 5-second clip, pause, and repeat it out loud, mimicking his tone and speed. 3. Record yourself and compare it to the original—note where your intonation or pacing differs. 4. Do this for 10 minutes daily. For extra support, use a shadowing site or app like shadowspeak to slow down the audio if needed. This loop helps you internalize natural speech patterns, making your English sound more fluent and native-like.
Whether you’re prepping for IELTS or just want to speak more confidently, this video is a goldmine. Grab your phone, hit record, and start shadowing—your speaking skills will thank you!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — an action that started earlier and is still going on | they've been doing · he's been showing · I've been using |
| “Used to” used to + verb — a past habit or state that is no longer true | used to tell · used to to |
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.
