Hi everyone!
2
My name is Bo and this is Bo's Slow English.
3
Oh hi Nari!
4
We are going on a virtual walk together in Seoul, South Korea.
5
Lately, I've been thinking about my identity, culture, and language.
6
I was born in Seoul, South Korea.
7
My family and I immigrated to the United States when I was very young.
8
I am a Korean American.
9
I haven't been back to Korea in over 30 years.
10
I wanted to tell you about a personal story.
11
So this can be like a story time vlog.
12
And if you would like,
13
you can do a shadowing practice.
14
so that you can practice your speaking skills.

21
Let's take a walk through Korea.
22
When I think about Korea,
23
the first word that comes to mind is identity,
24
not food, K-pop, or beauty.
25
Identity.
26
Because growing up, I always knew I was Korean,
27
but I also wanted to become American,
28
and I think those two things can exist together.
29
But when I was younger,
30
it didn't always feel that way.
31
I moved to America when I was very young.
32
At home, my parents spoke Korean.
33
Outside the house, everything was English.
34
School was English.
35
Friends spoke English.
36
Everything on TV was English.
37
So little by little, my Korean changed.
38
It became what many people call Konglish,
39
a mix of Korean and English.
40
And eventually, I think part of me stopped trying.
41
I remember my mom wanted me to go to Korean school.
42
I didn't want to.
43
At the time, I thought,
44
no. I want to be like everyone else.
45
I wanted to fit in.
46
And when you're a kid, fitting in feels important.
47
You don't think about regret.
48
You don't think, how will I feel when I'm older?
49
But now I do regret it.
50
I think if I stayed with Korean school,
51
maybe I would feel more confident speaking Korean today.
52
Maybe I wouldn't feel embarrassed.
53
And embarrassment is interesting.
54
Because sometimes embarrassment changes our choices more than fear does.
55
I think embarrassment may have stopped me from going back to Korea.
56
Not completely, but maybe a little.
57
I worried.
58
What if my Korean isn't good enough?
59
What if my relatives think my accent sounds strange?
60
What if I'm not Korean enough?
61
The last time I went to Korea,
62
I think I was around 8 years old.
63
I went with my mom for about a month.
64
And one memory I have is the first day we arrived,
65
I ate pizza with my aunt and cousins.
66
I was so jet lagged that I fell asleep in the restaurant.
67
I actually fell asleep at the table.
68
I don't know why that memory stayed with me.
69
Maybe because it was my first big trip.
70
Maybe because I was overwhelmed.
71
I remember Korea feeling busy.
72
Lots of cars, people, noise, summer heat, humidity.
73
I remember the streets feeling crowded.
74
I also remember my grandparents giving me money.
75
I think they wanted me to buy ice cream or some souvenir.
76
And somehow I lost the money I remember feeling terrible I felt guilty I felt disappointed in myself
77
and it's strange because I think that may be one of my earliest memories of of feeling like I let someone down.
78
It's funny how certain memories stay with you.
79
I was embarrassed by Korean culture sometimes.
80
I will admit that.
81
I remember having a birthday party as a kid.
82
Instead of pizza or hot dogs, we had Korean food.
83
and instead of sitting at a table,
84
we sat on the floor.
85
I remember worrying what my friends would think, but something surprising happened.
86
My friends liked it.
87
They liked the food.
88
They liked sitting on the floor.
89
And now that I'm older,
90
I think maybe I judged myself more than other people judged me.
91
I think many people do that.
92
Recently, I filmed with my parents in New York,
93
and afterward, I kept thinking,
94
I need more time with them, more conversations and stories.
95
Because parents get older and suddenly you realize there are questions you never asked.
96
I was planning to go to Korea this year.
97
The trip didn't happen.
98
But I still think about it.
99
If someone gave me a ticket tomorrow, I would go.
100
I'd eat 김치찌개 first.
101
김치찌개 is kimchi stew.
102
I'd want to see Seoul,
103
but also quieter places, like the smaller towns.
104
And I really want to go to Busan.
105
Busan is towards the south part of Korea.
106
The biggest thing I realized recently is this.
107
My Korean does not need to be perfect.
108
The goal is communication and connection with other people.
109
And learning English is the same many of you tell me
110
my grammar isn't good my vocabulary is basic I'm embarrassed I understand what you're saying
111
and I get what you're feeling I really do because I felt
112
that way about my Korean throughout my entire life but
113
if you spoke to me in person in English
114
and tried your best I'm sure I would understand you
115
and I would be proud of you language is not only about perfection Actually,
116
it's not about perfection at all.
117
It's about reaching another person.
118
It's about building a connection.
119
Maybe many of us spend years waiting to become perfect before we allow ourselves to connect.
120
And maybe we waste time.
121
I think I wasted a lot of time.
122
But now I'm here talking to people around the world, including Koreans.
123
And maybe in a strange way,
124
this channel is helping me reconnect with a part of myself too.
125
I didn't expect that, but I'm grateful.
126
Thank you so much for listening to my story.
127
I hope you find my story to be inspiring.
128
And please know that I believe in you and I know that you can learn English.
129
You just have to stick with it.
130
Do not stop.
131
Because as I mentioned in my story,
132
if I had gone to Korean school,
133
I would be in a different place right now with my Korean level and my confidence with speaking.
134
So I highly encourage you to keep up your efforts and stay consistent.
135
Let me know in the comments.
136
Did you learn any new vocabulary words from this video?
137
Thank you for your support.
138
And let's go for another virtual walk soon.
139
Bye.

Sobre Esta Lição

Nesta lição, você irá praticar suas habilidades de fala e escuta em inglês ao mesmo tempo que explora questões de identidade e cultura. Através de uma narrativa pessoal, você terá a oportunidade de refletir sobre como as experiências de vida moldam nosso entendimento da língua e da cultura. A prática de conversação em inglês será facilitada por meio da técnica de shadowing, onde você irá repetir as falas em voz alta enquanto as ouve em um ritmo lento. Isso ajudará a melhorar sua pronúncia e fluência, além de aumentar seu vocabulário contextual.

  • Identity - Identidade
  • Korean American - Coreano-Americano
  • Konglish - Mistura de coreano e inglês
  • Immigrated - Imigrou
  • Regret - Arrependimento

Dicas de Prática

Ao praticar com a técnica de shadow speak, preste atenção na entonação e no ritmo do falante. A fala lenta do vídeo facilita o entendimento, permitindo que você possa acompanhar com mais facilidade. Tente imitar não apenas as palavras, mas também a emoção e o tom de voz do narrador. Uma boa dica é pausar o vídeo após cada frase e repetir em voz alta, garantindo que sua pronúncia esteja clara.

Se você está usando um site de shadowing ou um app, faça uma gravação de sua própria voz enquanto pratica. Isso ajudará você a ouvir como está seu progresso ao longo do tempo. Além disso, você pode comparar sua gravação com a do vídeo original para perceber áreas em que pode melhorar. Não hesite em utilizar a técnica de shadowspeaks para intensificar sua prática de conversação em inglês, especialmente nas partes que você acha mais desafiadoras.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
