If I can find you Wait where did you go

boop -boop -boop -boop -boop -boop -boop yeah that's not gonna happen because I don't know how to work technology

what are you guys up to?

How good is it?

Where are y 'all from?

I wasn't going to say that much.

Oh, Canada!

Out and about, you hoser.

I love me some Canadians, man.

Some good -ass fucking hockey.

Tell you what.

Ooh, jalapenos.

it's a fucking party now yes i'm in galley i'm home alone actually

i actually really enjoy this because it's like a really warm day today and like

the sun's not totally down

so like the sky is super blue there's like a little

bit of pink in the clouds um postmates guy got lost coming up to my house

because it's kind of in the middle of nowhere um

and i freaked him out

because i'm just a pink hair yotted dude just like ordering

thai food up here you know in the canyons by myself in the hills up in the hills in los angeles

what did you do for your birthday on my birthday um my friend took me to see bush

and stone temple pilots um

which was super cool he didn't know it was my birthday

until like halfway through the show we stepped out for a cigarette

and um someone was like hey happy birthday

and i was like yo thank you he was like oh yeah it's in like two days right

and i was like no it's today he's like what?

Hey, Sonia, your blue checkmark looks really good on your account.

Also, I don't know what those emojis are.

You know I don't have the update.

But I like the rainbows.

how good is it guys are you guys up too I'm wearing these clothes for like two days straight three

no wait what is it Monday What's up Argentina

Spanish no see I took Spanish 1a three years in a row failed each time

um for some reason i just like really really sucked at spanish

and i really wanted to learn it but i was

so bad at it so i ended up just taking american sign language instead

which was a really good idea because like I don't know, I guess I'm more of a visual learner, so, like, I was able to finish high school early,

and, um, within, like, a year and a half of taking sign language, I was, like, fluent, so.

Got my diploma and shit. But I didn't walk.

They wanted me to, like, with the hat and gown and shit.

I just asked him to Email me my diploma I don't speak French

But I don't tell you to go fuck yourself in French That's it And I can also

Get around really well

In the metro system in France by myself

that i really really love um it's incredible

because not one fucking thing in the in the metro system in paris is in english

but it's still way easier to like understand

and get around on than like the subway system in like new york or dc

I love you too

those are a lot of hearts I don't know if I can beat that

I'm doing it in my head my hands are a little busy

say something in spanish um i really don't want to embarrass myself oh

what are the fucking lyrics to that one song uh nope nope that's not it

I just didn't think he was saying like, uno soy marinara.

Still really not sure what he is saying, but I know it's definitely not marinara.

viva la mexico oh i also know um that's it that's all i know

thank you

then he also says like so i copy town right like

so i copy town so i copy town Ba -ba -bum -ba

Happy Monday, guys.

Howdy -doody.

I'm trying to read all these comments, but there are a lot of them that aren't even words.

Um, help me out here.

the middle of nowhere right now man probably at school it's monday right

or no because it's later in the afternoon

so they're i don't know i haven't been in school in a

while they're probably doing homework at home i would assume that's also like me hoping

that they are because like that's what you do

and you do your homework preaching the choir

no i don't preach to choirs i enjoy choirs though yo

when i was in seventh grade

you know, students sing, like, classic fucking...

What's up, Esh?

awful freeze frames of me that people turn into memes

110

122

I'm stoked.

123

Yeah, Francis didn't pick up the video chat call, so it's just us guys.

124

Okay, this is some fucking bomb -ass peanut sauce.

125

I really feel bad for people that are allergic to peanuts

126

because you're missing out on recess you're missing out on pretty much every Thai dish known to man

127

What else that's really it peanut butter fucking like peanut butter and chocolate

128

Do you watch RuPaul's Drag Race I've heard a lot of good things about that show I Think RuPaul's dope um,

129

but I don't really watch I'm starting to Get better watching TV,

130

but I like Don't really Unless I'm like either watching Goodfellas over and over or Wait planet earth Or cartoons Cartoons.

131

Oh, this cilantro Have you ever been in Denmark?

132

No, I'm not but I Was when I was backpacking Europe, I didn't want to stop through there.

133

It was just way too cold cuz I saw this like thing there's, like, a commune in Denmark that, like, looks, it literally looks like the coolest fucking commune,

134

like, it's next, like, it's, like, the Taylor camp, but on crap, like, it's, it just looks super dope, and I wanted to swing through there while I was backpacking,

135

but then I ended up staying with my best friend in London for 12 days instead of three,

136

so I didn't get to go to like Italy or like the places in Italy that I wanted to go to

137

I didn't get to go to Amsterdam which is a total fucking shame because I've always wanted to go

138

didn't get to go to Spain

139

I really wanted to go see the Sistine Chapel in person as an adult

140

because I haven't seen it since I was a kid

141

and I loved it when I was younger but like I feel like I'll appreciate it more at this age

142

What's up Brazil?

143

How you guys doing?

144

Brazil y 'all have a special place in my heart

145

What's your newest project going to be you know I can't talk about that you know I'm not loud

146

To say it's a surprise actually No,

147

I can't know sorry Yeah, I do.

148

I just don't share it cuz y 'all fucking hate it Sorry,

149

that wasn't English I used to love the Twilight Zone older one.

150

Was it Steven Spielberg that threw the newer one?

151

Didn't he, like, make a, like, a movie out of it?

152

155

Bring my noodles with me.

156

Have you guys seen my Twilight Zone episode?

157

159

No, ma 'am.

160

No barking, please.

161

it's a really good day today it's like super warm please don't use the emojis from the new updates

162

but feel free to do it cuz everyone else is gonna be able to see it but I can't because I don't, I don't have the update, which is a total shame because I'm pretty sure they have,

163

like, fucking dinosaurs and shit, right?

164

If you beat anything in the world, what would you be?

165

I don't think I'd change anything,

166

honestly, because, like, there's pros and cons to seriously every lifestyle,

167

every job, every experience.

168

There's literally pros and cons.

169

There is always going to be, it's always going to be like balance and stuff.

170

So I don't think I would really change anything just because I chose this.

171

Like I chose to be this and I chose to do these things.

172

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.
