Hello everyone.

Welcome to a new episode of Beau's Slow English.

In today's episode, I'm going to show you my morning routine.

Let's go.

Good morning, Nari.

Nari and I slept in today.

- Thank you.

Do you know the phrasal verb sleep in?

It means that you sleep past your normal time that you would wake up.

Nari, do you want to go for a long walk today?

Good morning, Louie.

Hi.

Good morning, Nari.

Huh?

This is...

My favorite part of my morning.

Louis has his two front paws on my knee.

And now he just stepped off.

Let's see if he wants to play with his toy.

Oh, Nari wants attention though.

Louie, do you want to play?

too early.

I need to go get my tripod so I can allow my camera to stand up on its own.

I've been procrastinating with creating this morning routine video because I'm normally in a rush in the morning

Procrastinating or procrastination is when you are supposed to do a task or but you keep waiting to do it.

But today is the day because I have time.

- Okay.

Thank you.

First thing I need to do when I get to the kitchen is pour myself some water.

because I need to take my morning medication.

This morning I slept in which means again that I slept past my usual time.

So I'm running a little behind with taking my medication This is a prescription bottle.

I take medication because my doctor would like my thyroid to be at optimal levels.

So I'm pushing down on the cap and twisting it to remove the cap.

The pills are really tiny.

Look how tiny they are.

Can you see?

I just popped it into my mouth.

I'm putting the cap back on,

and now I have to swallow the pill with some water This medication is really inconvenient.

what I mean by this.

is I have to revolve my morning around this little pill.

I have to wait 30 minutes after I take the pill to eat breakfast or to drink tea.

the pill needs to absorb into my body first before I introduce any food or beverages.

Water is obviously okay.

It's also inconvenience because when I travel somewhere where there is a different time zone,

I have to figure out the exact time of when to take my medication

It's supposed to be around the same time every day.

I'm going to take Nari.

out for her first walk.

Here is her leash.

I will put the leash around her neck.

and we will go outside together.

Come on, Nari.

We're walking down these steps so she can go.

potty.

She is peeing on the turf.

She likes to sniff.

the grass The grass here is a bit Dewey.

which means that there's some water or condensation on it.

Do you know the word sniff?

Sniff is another way to say smell. So she already went.

number one and number two which means she peed and pooped.

Now we're going to head back inside because I need to...

get my breakfast ready.

I like to let her off.

the leash here and let her run up the side of the stairs.

Go!

She's waiting for me to let her in.

into the building.

i'm using this key fob.

to let myself in to the building.

Go!

every time Nari comes in from her walk.

I have to wipe her feet.

Excuse me.

So these are pet wipes.

They're all natural wipes that are pre -moistened.

which means that it's already wet.

Come over here.

One paw.

Other paw Backpaw.

She knows the routine.

There you go.

There must have been a lot of dirt.

Right, Nari?

I always wash my hands after I wipe her feet off.

I just opened the dishwasher.

to remove the water and food bowl for my cat and dog.

I'm going to pour some fresh water into each of their water bowls.

Before I forget, I'm going to turn on this kettle.

And today I am going to drink matcha which is green tea.

So I have the temperature set to 175 degrees Fahrenheit.

So this number will go up as it heats up.

Both are great phrasal verbs.

So go up.

means that this number is increasing and to heat up means that it is getting warmer.

I'm pulling Nari and Louie's food out of the fridge.

They have a very...

100

nutritious meal So first I open up this bag of dried lamb

101

food for my cat.

102

I will sprinkle some into his bowl.

103

I don't generally like to feed Louie too much dry food because Cats naturally have kidney issues as they get older.

104

and it is hard for them to digest dry food.

105

So I put a lot of water in his food.

106

And this is the dry food for Nari.

107

I started mixing dry and wet food.

108

for her because I noticed that she was a little too lean, which means skinny.

109

So I wanted to put a little bit of weight on her.

110

I will put some wet food into my cat's bowl.

111

This is also lamb.

112

Now some wet food for my dog.

113

There's lamb and lentil and zucchini.

114

And what else?

115

Some other vegetables in here.

116

Next, I put some digestive enzyme powder.

117

which is simply a powder that helps both Nari and Louie to break down their food better and digest better.

118

When I say break down, in this term, I mean that the food is able to be digested better.

119

And this is a supplement for Louis.

120

to help with his Feline asthma.

121

Feline meaning cat.

122

Louis had to go to the hospital because of his asthma a few months ago.

123

So I'm doing everything I can to help prevent him having an asthma attack again.

124

Now I will take the kettle, which has warm water and drizzle it over their food.

125

You may say that my pets are spoiled, but for me, my pets are part of my family,

126

and I would want them to be fed the way that...

127

I would be fed.

128

So the most nutritious healthy meals possible.

129

I'm smashing Louis food.

130

and I mixed up Nari's food.

131

It's time to give them their meals.

132

That's it.

133

Okay.

134

Go.

135

Thank you.

136

Would you like to hear some ASMR?

137

I'm so excited.

138

That over there is Nari's doghouse When we first received this doghouse purchased from Etsy,

139

we thought, "Oh no, it's too small !" But she actually really likes how cozy it is in there,

140

which means it's comfortable.

141

It's a little bit Tight.

142

meaning there's not a lot of space around her, but she prefers it that way.

143

I was going to make eggs And when I opened my fridge, I realized I don't have any,

144

so I need to go get breakfast. from the store.

145

and come back.

146

We just got to the grocery store

147

because we have no food in the fridge so now we have to pick up breakfast.

148

Morning.

149

Look at this beautiful grocery store.

150

I'm back here again.

151

We have breakfast sandwiches and croissants.

152

Good morning.

153

What are you getting?

154

You're not getting anything?

155

Hi, could I do some Jojo's please?

156

Yeah, thank you.

157

Thanks so much.

158

Have a good one.

159

Where did my husband go?

160

You got soup?

161

You want anything else?

162

Have you ever seen this many beverages?

163

We're gonna go stand in line.

164

Sorry.

165

How are you?

166

Good.

167

No thanks.

168

I have a card on file.

169

Oh, how many points do I have?

170

Six dollars?

171

Yeah, you have $6 .31.

172

Save it.

173

Yeah.

174

See you later.

175

Heading back down to the parking lot.

176

Morning.

177

Morning.

178

Oh.

179

I just got back from the grocery store.

180

I picked up some breakfast.

181

Here's what I got.

182

- Thank you.

183

It's an egg scramble.

184

with ground turkey and spinach.

185

I will sprinkle some salt and pepper on here and eat it.

186

But first, I need to make my matcha.

187

In case you are not familiar with matcha, it is a type of green tea.

188

It has a very earthy Flavor earthy meaning like, grassy.

189

So I'm taking One big scoop.

190

of this beautiful matcha I'll put it in my cup.

191

I'm tapping on the side to get the residual powder off.

192

Residual meaning the remaining powder.

193

- Okay.

194

Next.

195

I'm putting some creamer in here.

196

It's a powdered creamer.

197

And the purpose of this is not only for the flavor, but it also helps with your brain.

198

Thank you.

199

So it was one scoop.

200

Now I will pour some of this water.

201

that has been heated up.

202

by the kettle.

203

And this is an electric...

204

Whisker "Whisker" is a funny word because My cat has whiskers.

205

And this is a whisker as well.

206

It whisks.

207

my powder and the water.

208

but it's called a whisker.

209

So I'm turning on the whisker.

210

and it's spinning really fast, spinning.

211

Traditionally in Japan, They would use a bamboo whisk that you manually have to

212

stir yourself.

213

I'm sure using An electric whisker is a big no no. It is not acceptable.

214

But for me, it's more efficient and it gets the job done.

215

I have my breakfast.

216

that I will season before I eat it.

217

Thank you.

218

Black pepper.

219

sprinkling in some black pepper.

220

Sprinkle in I'm going to sprinkle on You could say either.

221

I'm going to sprinkle on some black pepper.

222

I'm going to sprinkle in some black pepper.

223

either are acceptable, but I think sprinkle on is probably more widely used.

224

some salt, a pinch, this is a pinch of salt, I'm going to mix it up together.

225

So this is to mix up.

226

and a little bit of Hot sauce for extra flavor.

227

231

232

So I will do that.

233

while my breakfast is settling.

234

235

Why practice speaking with this video?

Practicing your English speaking skills through natural conversations is essential for language development. In this episode of "Beau's Slow English," viewers are treated to a genuine morning routine that showcases daily life and common interactions. By engaging with this content, learners can effectively use the shadowing technique, which involves repeating phrases immediately after hearing them. This approach not only boosts pronunciation but also improves fluency and listening comprehension. As you listen to the host's calm and clear speech, you can mirror his intonation and rhythm, making it a perfect way to learn English with YouTube.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

This video presents several useful grammar structures and expressions that enhance your understanding of spoken English. Here are a few key points:

Phrasal verbs: The phrase "sleep in" is a common expression suggesting you wake up later than usual. Incorporating such expressions into your vocabulary can make you sound more like a native speaker.
Present continuous tense: The host frequently uses the structure "I'm going to," which indicates a future plan or intention. This tense is often used in conversational English to discuss upcoming activities.
Descriptive language: The speaker describes his medication as "really tiny," which showcases how adjectives can enhance descriptions in English. This is helpful when discussing health-related topics.
Conditional phrases: The video includes phrases like "what I mean by this,” engaging listeners by clarifying points and ensuring understanding, which is a valuable conversational skill.

Common Pronunciation Traps

As you practice speaking with the video, pay attention to some words and phrases that may pose pronunciation challenges:

Medication: Watch for clarity with this word; break it into syllables: med-i-ca-tion.
Convenient vs. Inconvenient: These words can often trip up learners. Practice the stress on the second syllable for "inconvenient" (in-con-VEEN-ient) to ensure clear communication.
Absorb: The 'b' can be easily overlooked; ensure you articulate it clearly for better understanding (ab-SORB).

By utilizing the video's natural pace and the shadowing app techniques, you can significantly enhance your grasp of English pronunciation. Incorporate these tips into your routine and witness substantial improvements in your spoken English.

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

Structure	In the video
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it	be digested · be fed · would be fed
Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing	two which means · matcha which is · lean, which means
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	Have you ever seen · has been heated
Verb + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — verbs that are followed by the -ing form	keep waiting · started mixing

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.
