The bottle was empty to begin with.
47
I'm not a fast drinker like these people.
48
I wish I could get hydrated hella quick, but you know.

and just smell and know if you have cavities She literally sold half her life to Ryuk to gain this ability.
144
She thought she was getting the Shinigami eyes, but no. They gave her the cavity eyes so she can smell cavities from a mile away.
145
I mean to be fair, most people have cavities I feel.
146
Cavities got a smell?
147
The only thing I'm smelling here is bullsh.
148
Alright, this is cool.
149
And I've tried this, but apparently you have to be talented to be able to do this.
150
You can just practice and practice and you too will be able to shake your eyes.
151
Wait, so this is like a learnable thing?
152
Cross your eyes.
153
You may need to use a pencil of some sort to really focus in on that tip.
154
Step two, look to the left.
155
Step three, bring it right back into the middle.
156
Step four, look to the right.
157
Step five, bring it right back to the middle until you feel a sudden urge to shake.
158
That's so weird.
159
He's shaking his eyes.
160
I want to do this.
161
Okay.
162

163
that old saying about you cross your eyes too much They'll stay like
164

165
Feel like I'm damaging my eyes doing this to the middle step four look to the right Okay,
166

167
I don't think they did it, but now I feel a little dizzy.
168

169
This guy can drink milk and make it come out of his eyes.
170
Okay, so I heard about milk coming through your nose.
171

184
So he's showing you how to do it.
185
Like that and like this.
186
And then take a deep breath.
187
And when you breathe out, that's when you start chugging. So. And then you squeeze.
188
And then what you do is after you take a deep breath and put it up in your mouth, you squeeze the bottom and you start chugging as fast as you can.
189
Done.
190
Look at these talented people trying to bless the untalented.
191
Like, oh, I could do it.
192

201
that I will never be able to use Like all these like wild ideas pop into my head

What You'll Learn from This Video
This clip is a goldmine for English speaking practice, especially if you’re working on IELTS speaking practice or want to boost your conversational skills. You’ll pick up how to mimic distinct tones—like the robotic Siri voice—by controlling pitch and pace. Plus, the fast, casual dialogue (e.g., “hella quick,” “I ain’t talented”) teaches you to understand and use informal speech, a key skill for real-world interactions. Finally, the backward-speaking segment trains your brain to process language structure, which improves your overall fluency.
Listen For These Sounds
Pay attention to connected speech and reductions in the video. Phrases like “it me, Snifferwolf” drop the “is” (it’s me) for a casual, conversational flow. The speaker also uses linking: “how we got here” blends into “howwegot here” with no pause. Listen for “hella monotone”—the “a” in “hella” is reduced to a schwa sound, making it “helluh.” These small details are what make native speech sound natural, and noticing them will help you with shadow speech practice.
Say It Like a Native
To mirror the speaker’s rhythm, focus on stress and pacing. The host uses a relaxed, conversational tone, stressing words like “WEIRD,” “HIDDEN,” and “TALENTS” to emphasize key points. When imitating the Siri voice, keep your pitch flat and your pace steady—no rising intonation. For the fast dialogue, practice speaking quickly but clearly, pausing only at commas or periods. A shadowing app can help you match the timing: play a short clip, pause, and repeat it immediately, aiming to copy the stress and rhythm exactly. This is how you’ll start sounding more like a native, whether you’re using the video for learn English with videos practice or prepping for an exam.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verb — a past habit or state that is no longer true | used to be · used to tell · used to really like |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | has not been set · have never been · I've tried |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | has not been set · may be monitored · be talented |
| Possibility with “might / may” might/may + verb — something that is possible but not certain | may be · might say · may need |
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.
