Shadowing Practice: miami and then new york - Learn English Speaking with Video

The I

landed in Miami at 5 a.m and I was like, okay now we're starting the day, baby.

We're in Miami.

We're gonna go wild.

We're gonna go wet and wild.

We're in Miami, baby.

And then I was like, okay, actually, unfortunately, I can't get wet and wild because I'm way too tired.

And so I slept until like 1 p.m and then now it's 3 p.m and I haven't even been outside yet.

And I have a feeling I won't go outside today until the event that I have tonight, which is at 8 p.m.

I don't think I'm going to go outside.

I hate when I'm inside all day.

It just feels terrible.

Sometimes a red-eye flight works for me and it's totally fine

and I land and I'm able to have a full day

because I feel really rested from sleeping on the plane and sometimes I sleep on the plane and it's just not enough.

And I land and I'm like, nope, I need to take a nap and I need to lay in bed all day.

And this is one of those times when I just need to lay in bed all day.

I mean, I might be able to take a walk.

I'm getting my hair and makeup done for this event tonight at 5 p.m.

It is exactly 3.20 p.m right now.

Like, I could go take a little 40-minute walk.

What do I do?

But I also need to take a shower like I need

to take a full shower like I need to shave my legs I need to wash my hair.

I need to brush my teeth in the shower I need

to take a full shower like I need to exfoliate my skin like I need to take a full shower Oh

I feel good

So now I have to figure out how the shower works

and this is gonna take me 20 to 30 minutes My

own shower at home easy peasy obviously it's my shower I know what to do a new shower

that I've never experienced before it's a mess I don't know what to do.

Let's see.

So this is hot.

This is cold.

This is up.

This is down, okay Okay, so far so good.

We'll see.

Honestly, like kind of editorial.

It's kind of good.

Is this working?

No. Okay, now the floor is all wet.

What's happening?

The End

Get creative,

get artsy.

For some reason when I'm traveling I'm like so bad about my social media usage.

Like I know, I'm like fuck it, I'm not reading a book.

I'm scrolling on Instagram.

I'm indulging.

Anytime I travel I'm just so indulgent about everything.

Oh good, my daily average is eight hours.

Yeah, but that includes like everything.

I know.

Let's see what I use the most.

Oh, I use Instagram for two hours a day.

Calendar for 30 minutes is so accurate.

Because I'm always on my Google Calendar obsessing over it.

I'm too obsessed with angel numbers.

Like I keep seeing 10 today and I'm like, what does that mean?

Now I need to Google the angel number meaning of 10.

Like everything's 10 for me today.

Okay, 10 means you've completed a cycle in your life and a new chapter is about to begin.

Hell yeah!

What the fuck does that mean?

I really

I thought that I was gonna go out tonight because I was like, I'm in Miami.

Okay, this is a party place.

Sorry if I'm talking weird.

I have my retainers in.

I'm in this social phase of my life.

I've been loving the nightlife.

I don't know.

So I really thought I was gonna do it tonight and I didn't.

Oh my god, I'm so thirsty.

I can't get up.

I can't get up again.

Sorry.

I'm so dehydrated.

My head hurts, but I can't unfortunately get up again. So I'm

sorry.

I'm gonna try to get some more of a drink.

Ow.

Latte, hot, with almond milk.

I don't know what has gotten into me.

I'm in like a somewhat tropical location and I was like, I want a hot little latte this morning.

I will say though, it is kind of cold.

Like, actually I think my room is cold because I turned the AC on really high high.

Turned my room down to like 67 degrees and it was so cold I slept with my socks on

and I slept with my hoodie on which is like kind of unnecessary

but I just love a frigid cold room when I go to sleep.

I took it a little bit too far last night so maybe that's why I wanted a hot latte today.

Okay so it's too hot but then I also got an iced Americano but here's the problem with an iced Americano.

A lot of times they don't make it right.

And I, listen, I'm not a trained barista.

I don't make the most perfect lattes.

I don't make the most perfect espresso.

Okay.

So now that I've said that, basically they make it wrong.

Okay.

100

An iced Americano is espresso, water, and ice.

101

And obviously espresso is hot, right?

102

So a lot of times when you order an Americano, an iced Americano at a cafe, they won't put enough ice in.

103

So they'll pour the espresso over the ice and then they'll just pour water on top.

104

And then when you get the drink, it's kind of warm.

105

You know, they haven't like mixed it up.

106

The way I like to make an iced Americano is they put a lot of ice in all the way up.

107

Then I pour espresso in.

108

Then I mix it up to get the espresso really cold.

109

Make sure that I still have enough ice.

110

Then I pour water on top.

111

This straw is going to be disintegrated in about 30 seconds.

112

It's going to get squishy because it's a paper one.

113

Something weird happens when I'm traveling where I do get two coffees in the morning.

114

Like when I go to the first little cafe that I go to, I tend to get two drinks.

115

I don't know what that is because when I'm at home, I just make one drink.

116

I think it's because I don't know what I'm to like.

117

And it's so important that I have my coffee in the morning

118

that I just would rather order two and like one of them.

119

Like really enjoy one of them than get one drink and be kind of disappointed with how it turned out.

120

Listen, I have no room to be a snob, okay?

121

I'm no perfect barista at home.

122

I would like to actually learn how to be a barista.

123

So I might sign up for a class to learn because I think that would be kind of cool.

124

And it's a skill that I would definitely use.

125

So, maybe I'll sign up for that.

126

I don't know where you sign up for that, though.

127

It's like...

128

I'll figure it out.

129

Actually, I'll make my mom figure it out.

130

The hot latte today is really good.

131

Dang, and it's got like this nice foam.

132

Wait, now I'm paranoid that this isn't almond milk.

133

It definitely is.

134

Yeah.

135

Regular milk has this like...

136

I don't like it.

137

I don't like it.

138

It has this sort of like weird sour aftertaste, which is not I mean listen It's not like the worst thing in the world, but

139

Welcome to a new segment

140

that I'd like to call Emma's mini bar review today We're

141

going to be reviewing the mini bar here at the hotel that I'm staying at in South Beach, Miami We have the mini bar behind us

142

and I'm gonna be discussing what type of snacks and drinks that they have in this hotel and share my thoughts.

143

So stay tuned and get excited.

144

Bark thins.

145

Dark chocolate pretzel and sea salt.

146

That does sound good.

147

I would try that.

148

Okay, we have multiple bars of chocolate.

149

This one is super food.

150

Now, I don't know how I feel about that.

151

Organic goji berries, dried blueberries, chia seeds.

152

If I'm having a fucking chocolate bar, Give me some goddamn peanuts and caramel in it.

153

But you know what, I'm not gonna be an asshole.

154

Like I, you know...

155

It's a nice thought.

156

Honestly, I might end up eating this.

157

Fancy potato chips.

158

Black truffle.

159

Let me be honest, truffle is like a hit or miss flavor for me though.

160

Like some days when I eat something that's truffle, I'm like, yum, yum, yum, yum.

161

And then some days when I eat truffle, I'm like, ew, this is fucking disgusting.

162

I never want to taste this foul flavor ever again.

163

We'll see what type of mood I'm in on this trip and we'll see if I end up eating these.

164

Okay, these look actually really fun.

165

Dark chocolate and coconut.

166

Little bites.

167

This will be my little travel snack.

168

I mean my flight is like three hours.

169

I'm only going to New York, but...

170

You never know, you might need a little dark chocolate and coconut bite.

171

Ooh!

172

See, this is better, I think, than the truffle chips.

173

Jalapeno, kettle brand, super crunchy.

174

Wow, so crunchy.

175

Such a crunchy chip.

176

These are jalapeno, yum.

177

A little spicy, yum.

178

I love spicy.

179

Okay, but the bag feels crushed already.

180

It's like chip cereal in here.

181

You know, I just pour it out and it'd just be like a bunch of tiny pieces.

182

Might as well just pour some milk on it and eat it like cereal at this point, but I mean still happy it's here.

183

Plantain strips, yum.

184

My god, I love plantain chips.

185

I used to eat plantain chips constantly as a kid.

186

My mom was obsessed with them.

187

So this is a nostalgic snack and I will probably eat these too.

188

I'm honestly not, I keep saying I'm gonna eat this stuff, but actually I'm only gonna be here for another like 24 hours Like I'm not gonna eat these.

189

I'm gonna have to start making some choices Wow, wow, my favorite brand of popcorn in the entire world my Bjornkorn, they have the Bjornkorn.

190

That is fucking amazing You know what?

191

I'm putting this in my bed and when I'm working on my computer today At some point I'm gonna be like,

192

ooh Mommy needs a snack and then I'm gonna grab this and I'm gonna be happy so Turkey jerky and beef jerky.

193

Not for me, so who cares?

194

I have never eaten beef jerky because I've been a vegetarian pretty much my whole life.

195

I've always been angry at people who do because anytime somebody opens up a bag of beef jerky,

196

it just makes the entire room reek and just smell so potently of beef jerky.

197

I've always been like, how can you eat this?

198

It's like a complete social faux pas.

199

Like, you can't open this bag in public.

200

You're stinking out the whole room.

201

Like, what are you doing?

202

I don't, whatever.

203

We have two little granola bars that I probably won't eat.

204

So, I mean, they look good, but it's like, I'd so much rather eat my little snack in ball form.

205

Way more fun.

206

These still look good, though.

207

I mean, but no. Ball form?

208

Fun.

209

Bar form?

210

Come on.

211

These are good.

212

Tate's cookies, these are good.

213

They're crispy, which is not normally what I like.

214

I actually normally like a chewy cookie, but these are fine.

215

Let's go into the drink fridge and see if there's anything good in here.

216

Oh shit.

217

Plant Botanical Vodka Seltzer. That actually sounds good.

218

I'm not going to drink it because I don't like vodka.

219

Wait, it has superfood ingredients.

220

Dandelion, goji berry, ginseng, angelica.

221

It's actually kind of cool, but maybe I will drink it.

222

Pellegrino.

223

Okay.

224

They have a lot of different kinds of beer.

225

As much as I'd love to be a girl who cracks open a beer at the end of the night, I'm not because beer hurts my stomach.

226

So I'm not a beer girl.

227

I wish I was I wish I was it would look super cool imagine me at a bar just like

228

Good to see You know me with a beer such a cool vibe,

229

but it's never gonna happen so coconut water.

230

I do love coconut water Apple juice okay, Casamigos a little maker's mark you get the idea.

231

It's like it's all happening So I'm gonna give this mini bar honestly a really good rating.

232

I would say

233

that this is a phenomenal mini bar We're not just talking about a little bag of M&Ms

234

and a bag of Lay's potato chips, okay?

235

We're talking about some variety here.

236

We're talking about something unique I'm gonna give this mini bar an 8.5 out of 10

237

and I might bump it to a 9 because they have this popcorn

238

I'm going

239

to the vanilla cream.

240

Classic.

241

Uh, 12 ounce.

242

Can I do that with Mac Pay Payment?

243

We're supposed to leave at 7,

244

but the traffic is worse than having anticipated, and we're not close to the menu,

245

so maybe we do, if we can leave in a 40 minutes, 45 minutes.

246

Okay.

247

I have never started a photo shoot at night.

248

Me neither.

249

Like starting a photo shoot at 8pm is something I cannot comprehend.

250

It's like a fun night adventure.

251

But like wrapping at midnight or 1 in the morning is crazy to me.

252

I know.

253

My flight's tomorrow at...

254

I have to be up by 4am.

255

My flight's at 6.30.

256

Ours is at 7.

257

We have to be up at 4 too.

258

I know.

259

It would be kind of nice though, because it's like, you sleep on the plane.

260

Yeah.

261

Where are you flying to? To LA.

262

Oh, see you're lucky because you can do a full sleep.

263

Oh yeah.

264

You're going to New York.

265

We're going to New York so we're kind of screwed a little bit.

266

Wait, are you going straight into work?

267

No, I don't work tomorrow.

268

Okay.

269

Thank you.

270

Listen, it's 2 in the morning, or is it 1 a.m.?

271

No, it's 2 a.m.

272

I have never finished a photo shoot this late.

273

We started shooting at like 8 p.m., and then we shot from 8 to 9, 10, 11, 12.

274

Yeah, it was only like 4 hours.

275

This is the third banana I've had today.

276

my body wants a banana today.

277

I might crush this one too.

278

I don't know yet.

279

But here's the thing.

280

I need to stop talking with my mouth full.

281

I leave for the airport at 5 a.m

282

and my flight is at 7 a.m and I'm flying to New York

283

which I'm stoked about because the weather is cold and I'm ready to wear a scarf.

284

I did just throw my banana peel on my nightstand.

285

I did not experience Miami at all.

286

I really was convinced I was gonna go out in Miami.

287

I was like, that's what you do in Miami.

288

Nope.

289

Great combo.

290

Um, I'm just trying to figure out if I'm gonna go to sleep because should I go to sleep?

291

I'm gonna eat the other banana too.

292

Banana number four of the day.

293

I don't know what's wrong with me.

294

Like it's so many bananas, but maybe my body needs potassium and that's why I'm like craving them.

295

I'm gonna pack and then I'm gonna see what time it is and I'm gonna weigh the pros and cons.

296

I'm going to sleep for a few hours.

297

I don't think I'm gonna go to sleep.

298

Really?

299

Sometimes bananas gross me out so bad, like, the thought of a banana makes me nauseous, and sometimes they're all I want to eat.

300

It's so weird.

301

Explain that.

302

Oh, my God.

303

Hey.

304

Yes.

305

Yes.

306

Yes.

307

The End

308

Thank you.

309

The End

310

I'm sorry. so bad, but...

311

Yum!

312

Buffalo cauliflower. So yum.

313

My stomach is gonna hurt so bad.

314

But here I am.

315

Yum.

316

Wow.

317

Wow, yum.

318

Wow.

319

They did not give me enough dressing.

320

This is just dry.

321

This is gonna be the driest salad of my life.

322

It's so dry.

323

I am so tired.

324

I'm sorry.

325

The rest

326

is for you.

327

It's so good.

328

We love you, Mom.

329

We love you so much.

330

Okay, let's hold our service.

331

What do you want?

332

I want to see what they have.

333

Are you guys serving food right now?

334

Oh, okay, let me look at your menu.

335

341

Okay, can we eat?

342

343

Can I fart?

344

I'm gonna read you everything they have.

345

Okay.

346

Free range eggs, any style...

347

This is breakfast, Owen.

348

We can't have this.

349

Why?

350

It might be good for right now.

351

No. No, they said any time.

352

Oh.

353

Toasted bagel, amazing.

354

Seasonal green, ew.

355

Honey nut squash soup.

356

Ew.

357

They don't even have a Caesar salad.

358

Ooh, granola.

359

That could be good.

360

With oat milk.

361

French fries.

362

Ooh, french fries.

363

That's easy.

364

Brussels sprouts, yeah.

365

French fries and Brussels sprouts?

366

Yeah, let's do that.

367

Order fries and Brussels sprouts. Should I?

368

But how long will it take?

369

Two hours.

370

Eat another thing from the mini bar.

371

Do you want me to bring you the whole mini bar?

372

The mini bar?

373

Snacks suck.

374

I've never seen a less stacked mini bar.

375

I know, it's not stacked.

376

Should we go out? Should we?

377

Oh my god.

378

I got you.

379

It's 3 in the morning.

380

Okay, let's pick somewhere to go.

381

What?

382

And then drive by.

383

You can't really do that in New York.

384

No. I love driving by places and seeing who's outside.

385

Me too.

386

I used to drive by the club on the weekends.

387

What club?

388

One Oak.

389

Yeah.

390

Me and my friends would wait outside and roll down the windows and be like, We're looking for Jessica. Is she here?

391

Because we wanted to kill time so that we could look.

392

The people in line probably thought You did not know Jessica.

393

They probably thought you were trying to start a fight.

394

You know what I mean?

395

They're like, Jessica, fuck my boyfriend.

396

Is she here?

397

Is fucking here?

398

You didn't approach it with like, yeah, you didn't approach it with like, oh my god, Jess?

399

Wait, I'm picking up Jess.

400

You approached it like, is Jess here?

401

We've been looking for Jess all night.

402

Where the fuck is Jess?

403

Cause I'm about to fucking get out of the car.

404

Should we walk somewhere?

405

Like, walk somewhere.

406

It's dangerous.

407

It's 3 in the morning, we can't walk anywhere.

408

No, we could actually.

409

In New York, it's totally fine.

410

But also like...

411

It's totally fine!

412

Well...

413

Oh my god.

414

What does that mean?

415

Oh my god, read it from here.

416

Read it from here.

417

Isn't that crazy?

418

Ew.

419

Whatever I just read, I want to unread.

420

No, seriously, I can't be honest.

421

I want to show the camera that so that they can see what I just saw.

422

It's like when you see the worst image ever of like a horrifying, like, something horrible in nature, and you're like, that happens?

423

And then you have to show someone else because you have to, you know what I'm saying?

424

Like a blowfish.

425

Should we order the Cuban panini?

426

No. What's in it?

427

What's in it?

428

What's in it?

429

Smoked ham.

430

I'm a vegetarian.

431

But I'll eat it. That was crazy. So crazy.

432

Can I see the rest of it?

433

Yeah.

434

No, don't.

435

Put that in there.

Oh my god.

437

Kind of funny.

438

It's not funny, but it's a great...

439

No, but you get what I'm saying?

440

It's not fun.

441

It's not...

442

It's weird.

443

It's not inherently funny.

444

Okay, wait, what would...

445

If you had to get one thing off the room service menu, what would you get?

446

No, that's what I'm saying.

447

I would get French fries.

448

I would get French fries, but I would order you the Autumn Mushroom Bourgogneau.

449

Bourgogneau.

450

Wait, that was actually a really good phrase.

451

Okay, if I did you anything, I would get you the Café Euglery. Of course.

452

How do you pronounce that?

453

I don't know, maybe.

454

The cafe.. let's look it up.

455

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.
