Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Slow and Simple English podcast,

where every conversation helps you learn.
3
I'm Alex.
4
Hello, Alex.
5
Hello, everyone.
6
I'm Lisa.
7
How are you today, Alex?
8
I am feeling great today, Lisa.
9
I had a very smooth morning.
10
Smooth?
11
What does smooth mean here?
12
Smooth means easy.
13
No problems.
14
Everything went well.
15
My morning was smooth.
16
No stress.
17
No rushing.
18
Ah, smooth.
19
I like that word.
20
My morning was not smooth.
21
Oh no, what happened?
22
Well, I could not find my keys.
23
Then I spilled my coffee.
24
Then I was late.
25
Lisa, all of that before 9 o'clock?
26
All of that before 8.30.
27
I'm sorry.
28
But actually, this is a perfect introduction to our topic today.
29
My disaster morning is the topic.
30
Not exactly.
31
Our topic today is how to make a simple morning routine.
32
A morning routine that is smooth,
33
no stress, no lost keys, no spilled coffee.
34
I need this.
35
I really need this.
36
Perfect.
37
Let's start.
38
But first, before we start,
39
we have a small request.

It helps us a lot.
46
We love our listeners.
47
Okay, let's talk about morning routines.
48
So, Lisa, let me ask you something.
49
What does your morning look like right now?
50
Okay.
51
Honestly?
52
Honestly.
53
I wake up.
54
I look at my phone.
55
I look at the time.
56
I panic.
57
I run to the bathroom.
58
I look for my clothes.
59
I cannot find them.
60
I drink coffee standing in the kitchen.
61
And then I leave.
62
How long does all of this take?
63
Maybe 45 minutes.
64
But it feels like chaos.
65
Chaos means everything is confused and messy, yes?
66
Yes, exactly.
67
Chaos means everything is messy and out of control.
68
And I think many of our listeners feel this way too.
69
Really?
70
I am not the only one?
71
Not at all.
72
Morning chaos is very common.
73
But the good news is a simple routine can fix this.
74
A routine.
75
Like a plan for every morning?
76
Yes.
77
The same steps in the same order every day.
78
After a few weeks, you don't think about it.
79
You just do it.
80
Like automatic.
81
Exactly.
82
Like automatic.
83
Okay.
84
I have five tips for you today.
85
Five steps to build your morning routine.
86
Five tips.
87
I am ready.
88
My mornings need help.
89
Tip 1.
90
Decide your wake-up time.
91
Just pick a time.
92
Yes.
93
Pick one time, the same time every day,
94
not different every day, not 7 o'clock on Monday,
95
8.30 on Tuesday, 9 o'clock on Wednesday.
96
That is exactly what I do.
97
I know.
98
And this is why mornings feel hard.
99
When you wake up at a different time every day,
100
your body is confused.
101
My body is confused?
102
Yes.
103
Your body has a clock inside.
104
A natural clock.
105
When you wake up at the same time every day, your body learns.
106
It gets ready before the alarm.
107
Oh, interesting.
108
So my body helps me wake up.
109
Exactly.
110
Think of it like this.
111
Imagine a train.
112
A train always leaves at the same time.
113
Seven o'clock every morning.
114
The passengers know.
115
They are ready.
116
They arrive on time.
117
And if the train leaves at a different time every day?
118
Everyone is confused.
119
Nobody is ready.
120
They miss the train.
121
So, I am the passenger,
122
and my body is the train.
123
Yes.
124
If you wake up at the same time, your body is ready.
125
If you change the time every day,
126
your body misses the train.
127
I have been missing my own train every morning.
128
But now you know.
129
Pick a time.
130
Be realistic.
131
Do not say 5 o'clock in the morning.
132
5 o'clock is not realistic for me at all.
133
Pick a time you can keep every day, even on weekends.
134
Okay.
135
My time is 7 o'clock.
136
Every day, 7 o'clock.
137
Good.
138
That is tip one.
139
Decide your wake-up time.
140
Same time every day.
141
Tip two.
142
Don't touch your phone first.
143
Oh, this one is hard.
144
I know.
145
Tell me.
146
What is the first thing you do after you wake up?
147
I pick up my phone.
148
And what do you look at?
149
Messages.
150
Social media.
151
The news.
152
Maybe some videos.
153
And how do you feel after?
154
Um, sometimes stressed.
155
Sometimes I see something bad in the news.
156
Sometimes I fall back asleep watching videos.
157
Yes, this is a very common problem.
158
When you look at your phone first,
159
your brain immediately gets busy.
160
Too much information, too fast.
161
And then my morning feels rushed.
162
Exactly.
163
Rushed means you have no time.
164
Everything is fast and stressful.
165
So tip two is simple.
166
Put your phone in another room at night.
167
In the morning, don't touch it for the first 20 minutes.
168
20 minutes without my phone.
169
That sounds scary.
170
It feels scary the first time.
171
After that, it feels wonderful.
172
You have 20 quiet minutes for yourself.
173
But what do I do in those 20 minutes?
174
Without my phone, I don't know what to do.
175
Good question.
176
You can drink your coffee slowly.
177
You can look out the window.
178
You can sit quietly.
179
Just breathe.
180
Just breathe.
181
That sounds very simple.
182
Simple is the point.
183
Your brain wakes up gently.
184
Not from noise.
185
Not from bad news.
186
From quiet.
187
Gently.
188
I like that word.
189
Gently means softly, slowly.
190
Exactly right.
191
Wake up gently.
192
Give your brain a slow start.
193
Okay.
194
Phone in the other room.
195
20 minutes of quiet.
196
I will try.
197
Tip two.
198
Don't touch your phone first.
199
Tip three.
200
Do the same things in the same order.
201
The same order?
202
What do you mean?
203
I mean, every morning you do the same steps.
204
First this, then this, then this.
205
Always the same.
206
Like a sequence?
207
Yes.
208
A sequence is a list of steps in order.
209
Step one, step two, step three.
210
My morning sequence is I wake up,
211
I drink water, I wash my face,
212
I make tea, I get dressed.
213
Every single day.
214
The same.
215
That is very organized, Alex.
216
And do you know what?
217
I never forget things.
218
I never feel lost.
219
Because every step comes automatically.
220
Because you always do it the same way.
221
Exactly.
222
When things are always in the same order,
223
your brain doesn't work hard.
224
It just follows the steps.
225
Like a recipe.
226
Step 1, step 2, step 3.
227
That is a perfect comparison, Lisa.
228
Yes, your morning is a recipe.
229
Okay, so I need to write my morning recipe.
230
Wake up, wash face, coffee, get dressed.
231
Yes, Keep it simple.
232
Four or five steps, not 15.
233
Four steps?
234
I can do four steps.
235
Tip three.
236
Same things, same order, every day.
237
Tip four.
238
Prepare the night before.
239
Oh, you said this before in another episode.
240
Clothes the night before.
241
Yes, you remember.
242
And it works for mornings too.
243
Not just clothes.
244
Everything.
245
What else can I prepare at night?
246
Your clothes.
247
Your bag.
248
Your keys.
249
Your lunch if you bring one.
250
Even your breakfast.
251
Put everything in one place.
252
One place.
253
So in the morning, everything is ready.
254
Yes.
255
You don't search.
256
You don't panic.
257
Everything is waiting for you.
258
This would have helped this morning.
259
I spent 10 minutes looking for my keys.
260
Where were they?
261
In my coat pocket.
262
From yesterday.
263
Yes, this is exactly why we prepare at night.
264
You put your keys in one place every day,
265
you're bagged by the door, everything ready.
266
A hook.
267
I need a hook by my door for my keys.
268
That is a very good idea.
269
A hook is a small thing on the wall.
270
You hang things on it.
271
A hook for my keys.
272
Problem solved.
273
And there is another thing you can prepare at night.
274
Your breakfast.
275
My breakfast?
276
I usually skip breakfast.
277
Lisa, breakfast is important.
278
I know, I know.
279
But I have no time in the morning.
280
That is why you prepare it the night before.
281
For example, you can make overnight oats.
282
You put oats and milk in a jar.
283
You leave it in the refrigerator.
284
In the morning, it is ready.
285
You open the jar.
286
You eat.
287
Two minutes.
288
Overnight oats.
289
What are oats?
290
Oats are a simple grain, like rice, but different.
291
You can eat them cold or hot.
292
They are healthy and very easy to prepare.
293
So I prepare my breakfast at night and eat it in the morning.
294
That is smart.
295
Tip four, prepare the night before.
296
Keys, clothes, bag, and breakfast.
297
All ready.
298
And tip five, this is my favorite.
299
What is it?
300
Add one good thing to your morning.
301
One good thing?
302
Yes.
303
One small thing that you enjoy.
304
Something that makes you happy.
305
It does not need to be big.
306
It can be very small.
307
Like what?
308
For me, it is five minutes with my tea.
309
I sit, I look out the window, I don't do anything.
310
Just sit and drink my tea.
311
That sounds lovely.
312
For someone else, it can be music.
313
Put on one song you love,
314
or step outside for two minutes,
315
fresh air, or write three words in a notebook,
316
three things you are happy about today.
317
Oh, I like that.
318
Three happy things.
319
It is called a gratitude practice.
320
Gratitude means you feel thankful.
321
Thankful for the good things in your life.
322
Three things I am grateful for.
323
I can do this in the morning with my coffee.
324
Perfect.
325
That is your good thing.
326
Coffee plus three grateful thoughts.
327
I love this tip.
328
It feels warm.
329
It is warm.
330
And here is the reason why it works.
331
When your morning starts with something good,
332
your whole day feels different.
333
You feel ready.
334
You feel calm, not stressed.
335
So the first feeling of the day is important.
336
Very important.
337
Start good, feel good.
338
Start good, feel good.
339
I like that.
340
Tip 5.
341
Add one good thing to your morning.
342
You got it.
343
Okay, Lisa, before we review,
344
let's practice some useful words for talking about routines.
345
Yes, vocabulary time.
346
Three words.
347
Always, never, usually.
348
Do you know these?
349
Always means every time.
350
Never means zero times.
351
Good.
352
And usually?
353
Um, most of the time, but not always.
354
Exactly.
355
Usually means most of the time.
356
Not every day, but often.
357
Now let's practice.
358
Can you make a sentence with always?
359
I always drink coffee in the morning.
360
Perfect.
361
Now, never.
362
I never wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning.
363
Very true.
364
And usually?
365
I usually check my phone first thing,
366
but I will try to stop.
367
Good.
368
Now, everyone, your turn.
369
Think about your morning.
370
Make three sentences.
371
One with always.
372
One with never.
373
One with usually.
374
For example, I always brush my teeth.
375
I never skip breakfast.
376
I usually listen to music on the bus.
377
Oh, I can try more.
378
I always feel tired in the morning.
379
I never prepare my bag the night before.
380
But now I will.
381
Very good, Lisa.
382
And notice something you said, but now I will.
383
That is beautiful.
384
You are changing your habit.
385
Yes.
386
My new routine starts tomorrow.
387
Today, Lisa.
388
It starts today.
389
Okay.
390
Today.
391
My new routine starts today.
392
These three words, always, never,
393
usually, are very useful for talking about your habits and your routine.
394
Use them in your comments today, everyone.
395
Okay, let's review what we talked about today.
396
Yes, review time.
397
I love review time.
398
Today we talked about how to make a simple morning routine.
399
Lisa, tip one.
400
Tip 1.
401
Decide your wake-up time.
402
Same time every day, even on weekends.
403
Good.
404
Tip 2?
405
Tip 2.
406
Don't touch your phone first.
407
Wait 20 minutes.
408
Give yourself quiet time.
409
Excellent.
410
Tip 3?
411
Tip three.
412
Do the same things in the same order.
413
A morning recipe.
414
Simple steps.
415
Always the same.
416
Tip four.
417
Tip four.
418
Prepare the night before.
419
Keys, clothes, bag, everything ready.
420
No searching, no panic.
421
And tip five.
422
Tip 5.
423
Add one good thing.
424
Something small that makes you happy.
425
Coffee and three grateful thoughts for me.
426
You remembered everything.
427
The tips are simple, and I really need them.
428
And remember, everyone, a morning routine does not need to be perfect.
429
It just needs to be yours.
430
Small and simple.
431
That is enough.
432
Small and simple.
433
That is the whole idea.
434
Well, that's all the time we have for today.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?
Praticar a fala em inglês é essencial para melhorar a fluência e a confiança. O vídeo "Como Começar Bem Sua Manhã" apresenta uma conversa entre Alex e Lisa que ilustra a importância de ter uma rotina matinal suave e sem estresse. Ao ouvir este diálogo, você pode se beneficiar da prática de conversação em inglês, onde não apenas escuta, mas também participa ativamente. A técnica de shadow speech permite que você repita as falas em tempo real, facilitando a assimilação das estruturas linguísticas e melhorando a sua pronúncia. Além disso, ao discutir tópicos do cotidiano, como uma rotina matinal, você irá se familiarizar com vocabulário prático e frases comuns que pode utilizar no seu dia a dia.
Gramática e Expressões em Contexto
No diálogo, podemos identificar diversas estruturas gramaticais e expressões que são úteis para quem está aprendendo inglês. Aqui estão algumas das mais relevantes:
- “I am feeling great today” - Uma forma simples de expressar estados emocionais. Essa estrutura ajuda a aprender como descrever sentimentos, usando o verbo "to be" e o gerúndio.
- “My morning was smooth” - Aqui, “smooth” é um adjetivo que descreve uma experiência sem problemas. Essa expressão pode ser aplicada a diversas situações cotidianas, como “My trip was smooth” (Minha viagem foi tranquila).
- “I could not find my keys” - O uso de “could not” enfatiza a impossibilidade no passado, uma construção importante para descrever ações que não ocorreram.
- “Let me ask you something” - Uma expressão comum para introduzir uma pergunta, facilitando o engajamento em conversas.
Essas estruturas são fundamentais ao se comunicar em inglês e podem ser incorporadas na sua shadowing em inglês para reforçar sua memorização.
Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia
Ao ouvir o vídeo, é importante prestar atenção a algumas palavras e expressões que podem ser desafiadoras em termos de pronúncia:
- Smooth – A pronúncia correta desta palavra é crucial, pois é um adjetivo que descreve algo sem interrupções. Muitos aprendizes podem alongar o som ou falhar na articulação do "th".
- Routine – A sílaba tônica cai na segunda parte da palavra. Praticar o som pode ajudar a evitar confusões.
- Coffee – Uma palavra comum, mas o som do “o” pode ser desafiador. Os alunos devem se certificar de pronunciar claramente as duas sílabas: /ˈkɔː.fi/.
Essas questões de pronúncia podem ser superadas com a prática regular de shadowspeak, onde você repete as falas imediatamente após ouvi-las, melhorando tanto a fluência quanto a articulação.
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.
