229

the construction site let me show you guys what this uh

230

word is in front of me you guys see this here this is just a concrete slab

231

so concrete is usually made the roads you make with concrete

232

233

so let me show you guys another quick english word here see this black car here is called a car

234

but this here this is called a truck so trucks are the big vehicles and cars are regular cars

235

so that white thing there that was a truck

236

and oh i'm almost home let's see yes

237

so in front of me is another gate show you guys

238

this is where i live i gotta walk down here to get into my apartment building so

239

I'm gonna go inside my apartment and I'll see you guys in a little bit.

240

I'll teach you guys a little bit more more English before we go inside my apartment.

241

All right, so we're at home now.

242

And before we go, let's talk about five tips in order to help you to learn English easily.

243

So I got the tips written down in my phone.

244

So the first tip of the day is listen to English every day.

245

So if you watch my vlog every day, you're doing a good job already.

246

You have number one checked off,

247

but you can't just listen to my voice because then you'll be able to understand only teacher Troy who speaks English.

248

Everybody who speaks English has a different accent.

249

So the more people that you listen to, so you can listen to a little bit of teacher Troy.

250

Maybe you can watch a TV show that you like.

251

Maybe you like TV show Friends.

252

Maybe you like another TV show, How I Met Your Mother.

253

Those are great TV shows so you can hear different English accents.

254

So that is tip number one.

255

Listen to English every day.

256

Tip number two is speak out loud.

257

Yes, you have to speak.

258

Don't just study English in your head.

259

You have to speak out loud.

260

So maybe when you're watching my vlogs and I do one of the quiz questions, say the quiz question out loud.

261

Say the question out loud.

262

Or maybe at the beginning of my vlog,

263

I always say this 15 or 20 minute vlog is the same thing as a one hour English class.

264

Maybe at the beginning, you sing say it along with me

265

so the more that you speak out loud the more you'll be able to speak english

266

and if you need help to speak out loud join my speaking community i've already accepted the 10 people

267

that got into the community for free great job but

268

if you want to speak every day join my speaking lab

269

and send me a message on instagram and we can connect that way for the speaking lab.

270

That was point number two.

271

And the next point is learn phrases.

272

So I've made of maybe five, six videos where I teach you different phrases, phrases to be polite, phrases to express yourself.

273

If you study phrases and not individual words, it's a lot easier.

274

So one phrase is I'm on the fence.

275

So I'm on the fence about a decision.

276

I can't make a decision.

277

I don't know if I should go left or I should go right.

278

I'm on the fence about this decision.

279

So if you learn English phrases, you'll be able to learn a lot of new words.

280

And that is a fast and easy way to learn English.

281

So that is the third point.

282

Learn English phrases.

283

Very, very important.

284

All right.

285

The

286

fourth point is very simple don't be afraid to make mistakes

287

if you mess up if you say something incorrect in English

288

that is a good thing that means you're going to be learning English

289

that is how you learn a new language through making mistakes

290

and that's how you just learn in general

291

so make mistakes make mistakes a part of learning don't be afraid to make mistakes

292

So if you have a little confidence speaking English, don't worry at all, especially if you're speaking to a native speaker.

293

If you're speaking to a native speaker, the majority of native English speakers don't speak a second language.

294

Majority of Americans don't speak a second language.

295

Majority of Canadians, I would say 50% of Canadians don't speak a second language.

296

The majority of British people don't speak a second language.

297

So the fact that you're able to speak English is already a bonus.

298

So they already look at you as smart, as intelligent, because you can speak two languages and they can't.

299

So have confidence when you're speaking English, especially to native speakers.

300

and the last point very very simple point

301

but very very useful is make english a part of your daily life

302

so maybe you've been watching my vlogs for the last the 30 day challenge

303

so we're on day 25 you've watched my vlog 20 days

304

25 days in a row perfect you're making english part of your everyday life

305

but you need to go a little bit further

306

so you need to do a little bit more maybe you're someone who likes listening to music when you work out.

307

You go to the gym and you listen to music.

308

And when you go to the gym and work out, you go for one hour.

309

The whole time, listen to English music.

310

Or maybe you're someone who cleans the house.

311

And when you clean the house, you like to listen to music.

312

Listen to English music.

313

Or maybe you're someone who likes to watch tv

314

or you like to watch movies every day listen to english movies

315

or english television make english a part of your everyday life

316

that is tip number five thank you guys for watching the vlog and please like

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?

This video is a goldmine for english speaking practice because it uses real, conversational language in a natural setting. The speaker shares daily activities—like finishing a workout, walking home, and describing surroundings—creating relatable contexts that mirror how you’ll use English in real life. Unlike structured lessons, it’s unscripted, making it perfect for shadowing technique practice: repeat phrases aloud as you watch to mimic rhythm and flow. It’s also a great tool for IELTS speaking practice, as it builds fluency in describing scenes and daily routines, key skills for the exam.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

The dialogue is packed with practical structures. Here are 3 to focus on:

"I just finished a basketball workout": The present perfect tense ("have/has finished") connects past actions to the present—ideal for talking about recent events.
"You drop your kids off at school": Phrasal verb "drop off" means to take someone to a place. Phrasal verbs are critical for natural speech, and this one’s used daily.
"It's made of wood": The passive voice ("is made of") describes materials. Use it to talk about objects, e.g., "This table is made of metal."

These phrases are easy to adapt, so practice replacing words (e.g., "drop your friend off at the station") to build flexibility.

Common Pronunciation Traps

Improving english pronunciation means tackling tricky sounds. In the video, watch for:

"Barrier": The "ie" sound is short, like "bair-ee-er"—don’t overemphasize the "a".
"Wooden": The "oo" is short, not long. Say "wuh-dn" (the "e" is silent), not "woo-den".
"Sunrise": Blend the "n" and "r" sounds: "sun-ryze", not "sun-rize".

Use the shadowing technique to copy the speaker’s pace—pausing and repeating until you match their tone. This video is a top choice for learn english with videos because it turns casual conversation into a powerful learning tool.

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 building · you've been watching
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it	is called · is stuck · are called
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	I've been · i've already accepted · I've made
Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing	someone who likes · someone who cleans

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.
