Prática de Shadowing: Learn English without even trying - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

Hello there, welcome.

So in today's video I'm going to be teaching you English by answering some random questions whilst walking through this park.

Okay, question number one, where are we?

Well, we are in a park in Shanghai, China.

Yeah, it's incredibly hot right now, by the way, it's about 35 degrees, which is why I'm already sweating.

Yeah, so it should be an interesting one.

but to be honest with you I've been here for one week just in Shanghai for the first five days

or so I didn't really like it yeah I just felt a bit um it's quite hard to settle in

and you have to for example you need to download all of these apps before you come here

so you need an app in order to pay you need like a VPN in order to upload these videos

and it didn't feel that welcoming

a bit of time to settle in because it's been a week now and I really like it here.

Everyone is really nice by the way, Chinese people I genuinely, from the people I've met, have all been lovely.

So a bit of a struggle at first but now it's all good.

Okay number three: what's the first job you had?

Just so you know by the way you'll see some vocabulary popping up on the screen and everything

I was 12 years old, very young, I know, and I was a paper boy, a paper delivery boy.

So I did this Monday to Friday before school,

so I had to wake up at 5am and I'd work from 5 .30 till 7am and go to school.

A hard life, I know, and I would cycle around my neighbourhood in the cold and the dark and the wet delivering papers to people's doors.

each shift took me an hour

and a half at the end of each shift they would

pay me three pounds I was on 15 pounds a week

that's the equivalent of two pounds per hour that's child labor for you rather then

if you're wondering how that ended one morning I just slept through my alarm

and didn't turn up and we just we mutually agreed to terminate the employment there yeah not really especially not Shanghai.

Mate this is British.

We're in the UK right now.

I can't prove it but we're in the UK right now.

I can just smell it's the freshly cut grass has such

a distinctive smell it reminds me of being in school and playing football maybe sports day or something like that.

wasn't a factor what would you do?

I'd probably skate during the day, skateboard during the day and drink beer during the night.

What's a purchase you're glad you made?

These airpods, these airpods I'm 28 I bought these eight years ago when I was 20 and they're still working.

I remember I remember

in Stratford which is right where right next to where I used to live

and I was um working an office job

and it was after I think it was on a Thursday I'd just been paid

and I walked into the shopping center brought these to the counter they were 160 pounds

which felt so expensive at the time because I had per I had headphones

that worked perfectly well but they were the wired ones so I was very

them and I thought to myself you know what

if these last me for one year then I'm happy it's been a good purchase

and I've had these for eight years as I say and they're still working

so airpods I don't regret buying these whatsoever one thing you may not know about me is

that I'm really into nature and this is a great tree in particular

if I'm not mistaken this is uh yeah definitely this is

a um magnolia by undai pam pam I'm sure of it oh there's a sign there

yep i was right magnolia by under pamper

and i knew it i can just tell by looking at

these things it's it's a hobby of mine tree naming i call it biggest pet peeve

so your pet peeve is something that really annoys you

and my biggest pet peeve is people typing on their phones with the volume on

so you can just hear and they make a mistake i just find it infuriating it's so annoying it's so

what's a nice thing you've done for someone recently oh i'm

just looking for an excuse to show off aren't i um

so i'm gonna put my sunglasses on if you don't mind i'll cut this bit out

so in last week's video i went to this cafe basically just i was in japan before this

and there was a cafe

that i used to go to pretty much every day to work and there was this guy there who

kind of just means all right man and he was french

and one day we started speaking and he told me

that it was his birthday that day and no one had got him anything

so as i was leaving i nipped to the shop

which was right next to the cafe and in japan you can buy individual slices of cake

and i bought him a slice i bought him a slice

of cake gave it to him i said happy birthday man he

my friend it was nice it was actually really wholesome

and it made doing doing someone doing something nice for someone else makes you feel

so good as well right we're in some pond place it's quite cool

because i have no idea what this park is like i traveled for about an hour to get here

and i've just started recording as soon as i stepped in so we're it's new to me as well

Sweda Wilsonayana.

Yeah, definitely that.

Or a wango as I call it sometimes.

Yeah, there we are.

Sweda Wilsonayana wango.

I told you, I told you.

Tree naming.

It's my thing favorite animal because they're just so sweet and kind and gentle and nice they bow to you

they're lovely they're really nice favorite word elegant i like

that word it sounds elegant it looks elegant it's just a rather elegant word favorite soft drink coke zero 100 % favorite

and the strong stuff would have to be whiskey

and I'm the least picky person when it comes to both beer and whiskey.

I'll drink any beer and it will taste nice, I'll drink any whiskey and it will taste nice.

One thing that I think gives a park like this so much character and personality it's these random things you see everywhere.

So we have the statue over there, we have the massive shrooms for some reason,

we have the public gym equipment complete with the old working out on it.

It's a lot of fun and I might have to go on that seesaw.

There are no slides unfortunately but actually no you need two people for a seesaw.

Damn it.

I mean I can try it but it probably won't work.

Okay the moment of truth.

Is this going to work?

No obviously not.

I'm really into perfume and I used to be even more obsessed with it.

So I remember when I was about 15, that's when I first got really into it, and there was this department store,

this mini shopping centre next to my house.

100

And after school I befriended the woman who was just this like 50 year old woman working in the perfume counter.

101

And after school I would go there and I would speak to

102

and she would give me these samples and stuff like that.

103

I had no money then so I couldn't buy anything which was a shame.

104

And I used to go on my phone and there was this website,

105

I remember it was called Fragnatica or something like that and it was basically a website for researching perfumes

106

and it would tell you the different notes and how strong it was

107

and that type of thing and I'd spend so much time on that website.

108

Yeah if you're wondering I have two perfumes in rotation, Yves Saint Laurent

109

there are a few others i'd really like to try

110

but the thing is about perfume is it's quite expensive

111

and it's basically very easy not to buy

112

because you can really justify not buying it

113

because it's like oh god this is 80 pounds or something like

114

that and i don't even get all the benefits right away it's just i'll smell nice today

115

and tomorrow it's like so much money for something i don't need

116

because it's not a necessity is it it's a luxury so it's kind of hard to justify buying

117

sometimes but I think it's worth it I need to get some new stuff yeah let me know

118

if you have any recommendations for um men's perfume

119

so it has to be something that's good in the heat in the sun

120

because yeah it's a it's a scorcher now that is what I call a recycling bin so this is actually

121

this is real this is a tree this is the stump of a tree that's been carved out

122

and turned into a

123

that's kind of cool authentic Chinese bamboo anyway

124

if you're wondering about any other cool Chinese things I've seen

125

so far um this is a random one

126

so I was seeing this tourist spot

127

and I had to go to the bathroom

128

so I went to these public toilets right

129

and above each cubicle there was a neon sign an electric sign saying engaged

130

or free and that in itself was kind of interesting I've never seen

131

that before but the funny thing is they also had a timer

132

so it showed you to the second how long each person had been in

133

that cubicle so

134

when you go into the bathroom the timer goes engaged the timer starts by the second

135

so you could walk in there

136

and you might see 58 seconds 59 seconds 60 seconds one minute one second

137

or if someone was having a really bad day

138

yeah we've all been there favorite day of the week friday

139

without a shadow of a doubt fridays i love friday it's

140

actually friday today i normally post my videos on fridays that's one of the reasons why i like that day

141

so much obviously this video isn't going to be posted on friday it'll be posted on saturday sorry about

142

that and also you know it's the weekend i love weekends i love weekends and

143

more traditional monday to friday job makes sense that monday is going to be your least favorite day

144

but for me even though i work the same number of hours i can have a bit more flexibility with

145

when i do it yet i still hate mondays there's something just ingrained in humans potentially you wake up

146

and it's like ah it's a monday god another week and this just feels like a drag no matter what

147

cameras out

148

and stuff I can't even go anywhere without bloody this fame

149

thing it's a double -edged sword it's actually a really chilled area of the park with the woods there

150

and the footy there this guy's good I can tell

151

but go on go on son I'm lucky I'm lucky go on yeah it's weird

152

that I'm just filming that guy playing football oh that's cute they're having their wedding photos taken

153

almost as important as my thumbnail uh cats

154

or dogs i'm gonna have to say cats i like both i like both i just want to get

155

that out there i like both however i just i think

156

that cats are more chill easier to look after a bit

157

cuter dare i say of course henry the dog my dog the channel mascot is an exception to this rule

158

because he is very adorable but in general i'd probably prefer

159

cats the dogs yeah sorry sorry dogs all right um i'm

160

gonna flip the camera we'll have a look around look at

161

this perfectly picturesque quaint little bridge it's lovely the nature here is really nice i'm quite surprised

162

if you solved that your mind wouldn't go to china would it it looks quite english actually

163

but yeah fair play this is really nice nature and a cup of tea am i am i back in

164

takeaway on the topic of food i'd say pizza just

165

because pizza feels like a proper takeaway meal it feels like a real treat as well pizza

166

and it comes in the iconic pizza box it just feels

167

it feels special it feels special as i say before it was something that you'd only have on your birthday

168

or on a special occasion so just the thought of ordering a pizza is

169

so exciting oh we only have two more questions very sad

170

favorite sport football I love skateboarding as I kind of alluded to earlier

171

but I wouldn't really consider it a sport I guess it technically is in the same way

172

that chess is a sport

173

but football I love watching it I love playing it come

174

on Arsenal we just won the league well like a couple weeks ago

175

but it's gonna be years of domination from now I promise

176

I feel like that would either be a really hard tedious job or a really chill nice job

177

picking flowers picking the dead flowers admittedly

178

but still all right let's get to this the the final question favorite chocolate bar Snickers

179

which is the chocolate

180

and peanut one I just think that's such a good combination

181

you know honorable mentions Kit Kaps especially Kit Kat Chunkies I don't know British or Snickers, that's international, right?

182

Everyone knows Snickers.

183

Kit Kats, yeah, they definitely are, because I know they have the matcha ones in Japan.

184

Yeah.

185

As mentioned, all the vocabulary that popped up on the screen will be included in a free PDF, and the link is in the top comment.

186

Okay, I'm going to go and get an ice cream.

187

If you did enjoy this video, I'd recommend watching this one right here.

188

This is in a similar style.

189

I post new videos every single Friday, Make sure to like, subscribe and comment down below.

190

191

192

194

Cheers.

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.
