1
Do you struggle with telling stories in English and describing situations?
2
By the end of this video, you're going to learn the step-by-step process that I've implemented in my storytelling techniques
3
and why I'm able to describe situations in detail.
4
Then, you're going to look at what a linguistic expert says about the step-by-step process
5
that happens in the mind of a native so that you can imitate them as well.
6
You need to understand that English is a language that is obsessed with describing action, direction, and manner of a situation.
7
That's why a lot of students who comment on my post on Instagram, they say things like, Hey, I can't even describe this situation in my language.
8
And the reason for that is because your language was not made to describe situations in the same way.
9
This is exactly why English has a lot of phrasal verbs, a lot of these directional phrases.
10
It's because English is not just expressing yourself or describing situations in detail.
11
Does that make sense?
12
So just remember this.
13
Focus on the actions of what's happening in the direction,
14
how it's happening, the manner in which it moves through space and time, how the person was feeling as they moved.
15
That's why you have all these advanced verbs that you see in my videos.
16
They're not just like, oh, he jumped outside the window.
17
No. Or he put his hand back.
18
No. He flung his arm backwards because it's the way he did it, the direction, the dynamic of it.
19
Did it explode back?
20
Things like that right
21
and this is a linguist Luna Filipovic who she talks about this specific thing
22
that I'm gonna mention to you about English
23
and how English is different than Spanish when describing things that's what she says please
24
everything else is dark as night so you really need to remember the example so if If you're a speaker, you speak Spanish, right?
25
Yeah.
26
So if you see a man running out of the bank, across the street, into the park,
27
right, and you tell me what you witnessed in English, you would say, I saw a man, he ran out of the bank, across the street, into the park.
28
So I know that that man was running all the time.
29
If you say this to me in English.
30
Now you cannot say that in Spanish.
31
It's impossible because the language blocks this structure.
32
You have to say, he exited the bank running.
33
You have to say, salió del banco corriendo.
34
Cruzó la calle corriendo.
35
Entró en el parque corriendo.
36
So do you say that in Spanish, like repeating this corriendo?
37
No, nobody talks like this.
38
So what research has found of other people and mine is that if you speak Spanish,
39
you're less likely to talk about how something moved.
40
Oh, interesting.
41
That's really interesting.
42
And just because, you know, you can put corriendo at the beginning of the sentence saying that he exited and crossed and entered the park.
43
However, how many sentences start with gerund in Spanish?
44
You're a speaker.
45
How often do you put a gerund at the beginning?
46
Almost never.
47
Exactly.
48
So what Spanish speakers do, they actually do not express how something will, but they do express the direction.
49
Because you have to say where things were going.
50
Motion is about change of locations.
51
So of course you have to talk about entering, exiting, crossing, et cetera.
52
But the manner is a kind of extra bit of info
53
that you can mention and it's it's often omitted in in spanish
54
but not in english accounts of mandarin motion english on the
55
other hand typologically um prefers although we can say in english he exited the building
56
or exited the bank running that's not a preferred option You would say ran out, limped out, staggered out.
57
So the information that you get from...
58
You see that right there?
59
Staggered out.
60
That means like a way that he exited the building.
61
He ran out.
62
He staggered out.
63
He sneaked out.
64
You know, whereas other languages would not mention that.
65
Let's keep listening.
66
People who speak English, monolingual English speakers, is very detailed in the manner of motion.
67
and it's not so detailed from the Spanish speakers exactly and
68
so as a result
69
when I tested in my lab I then yes I'll tell
70
you a little bit about the career path I then specialized in psychology
71
and tested all of that in the lab in my experiments
72
and I realized that
73
if you're speaking English you're much more likely to give me details about the manner of motion and therefore
74
remember because language serves as aid to memory quite a lot
75
so you will tell me much more about the manner of motion
76
if you're a speaker of English whereas
77
if you're a speaker of Spanish you'll tell me less
78
and you'll remember less
79
because you can't really have these words to map onto the events you see
80
and they won't serve much as memory however this is not to say
81
that one language is better than the other and okay so notice how she said that it has to do with memory.
82
So if you're a Spanish speaker and you're asked to describe something,
83
you're not going to remember the actions because your language doesn't work that way in terms of motion and direction mixed together.
84
And so this is why phrasal verbs matter, right?
85
The simple version will not have phrasal verbs.
86
The nuanced version the native version will be enriched right
87
and here's a tip i'm going to give you a tip
88
if you're describing a movie scene so let's say we're going to go here
89
and we're going to describe the mission impossible scene right
90
which i have here already ready for you and you're going to describe let's watch this here
91
straight keep going straight go straight straight straight straight Okay, that's our right.
92
Right?
93
Now?
94
Yes, right.
95
Are you sure?
96
Yes, I'm...
97
Oh, it's left.
98
Turn left.
99
Sorry I had the screen lock on.
100
Thank you.
101
What are you waiting for?
102
I'm jumping out a window.
103
What do you mean you're jumping out of a...
104
Oh, sorry.
105
I had it in 2D.
106
Good luck.
107
Now, I've asked hundreds, maybe even a thousand people to describe this for me, right?
108
And what I saw was that most of the time people
109
that are like intermediate maybe lower intermediate tend to describe uh what they were talking about
110
but not the actions for some reason they ignore the actions
111
and more advanced students do describe the actions
112
but they tend not to use the advanced nuanced phrasal verbs
113
and idioms so if you're already upper intermediate
114
or advanced then you want to focus on enhancing the way you describe things focusing on the actions
115
but the enhanced nuanced ways of doing that that's why you're taking this course
116
because i'm going to teach you how to do that and
117
if you're lower intermediate you know maybe intermediate around there then you want to make sure
118
that you um are i'm opening the door for my dog that's why that's
119
that sound so you want to make sure
120
that you are focusing on what's happening in the scene
121
and one way you can do that this is a quick exercise
122
is the following regardless if you're advanced or not advanced very quickly
123
if you're interested in mastering not only storytelling for your personal life
124
but also for business reasons presentations and meetings my name is daniel cordoba
125
and we've helped over 600 students to find their fluency identity and personality
126
if you're interested schedule a demo call down below this course is for latinos specifically who live in the usa
127
and who want to get a better job or a better position
128
you can take scene by scene so for example we see the scene here where tom cruise does this right okay
129
go straight straight keep going straight straight straight straight
130
so there you would say he ran into the building
131
but maybe you can find another verb for ran he sprinted
132
into the building sprinted means uh let me show you here to sprint means to run fast somewhere
133
so you could say sprinted what was
134
that sprinted into the building right he bolted is another way of saying running fast into the building
135
so you want to find variations of the basic way of saying it that's
136
if you're advanced
137
if you're not advanced also you want to make sure you're saying he ran into the building start with
138
that right notice i'm taking scene by scene you play you
139
pause it you describe it okay that's not right right now yes right are you there you would describe that
140
he turned around he looked to the left into the right
141
if your basics say that because because right now you're not saying
142
that if you're more advanced you want to find an adjective to modify
143
that so you can say he right you can just say he looked to the left
144
and to the right right look to the left what's happening
145
here why can't I edit this okay there we go look to the left
146
and to the right but you want to make sure
147
that you make it a little bit more descriptive how well he was So find a nice advanced way of saying confused.
148
You can say, he confusingly, right?
149
Or in a panic, right?
150
he looked to the left and to the right.
151
Or desperately, he desperately, desperately,
152
I'm not even spelling it right, but who cares?
153
There we go.
154
He desperately looked to the left and to the right.
155
So find adverbs or adjectives to make it more enhanced.
156
Does that make sense?
157
So now I could have just said, he ran into the building, he looked to the left and to the right.
158
But imagine me saying, he bolted into the building desperately, and then he, in a confused manner, looked to the left and to the right.
159
Notice how that changes everything.
160
It makes it more enriched, more detailed.
161
That's what you want to do.
162
Now let's take the next scene.
163
What is that?
164
Yes, I'm...
165
Oh, it's left.
166
Turn left.
167
Sorry, I had the screen lock on.
168
And by the way, you can say that, right?
169
Oh, then his friend said, da-da, and then he said, da-da, right?
170
We'll talk about that later in another video.
171
You could even pause that and describe that, right?
172
So after his friend tells him, left, he looks towards the window and has an epiphany, right?
173
or he looks through the window and he gets an idea, right?
174
That's one way of saying it.
175
So notice I'm pausing after each scene and I'm describing it.
176
Thank you.
177
We can pause that there as well.
178
The woman looks at Tom Cruise and she stands up and he looks towards the seat, he grabs it.
179
And he, you can say throw.
180
He throws it into the window, but you want to find other verbs to describe throw.
181
I would have said he launches it through the window.
182
He launches it.
183
That's one way of saying it. And remember this too.
184
There's a time and place for everything.
185
There's a time and place to be very descriptive, use nuanced phrasal verbs and idioms, but then there's a time and place to be basic. Does that make sense?
186
So let's review.
187
What do we talk about today?
188
Well, we talked about English being a locomotion language that is obsessed with describing situations in actions,
189
verbs, the manner of the situation, and direction, whereas other languages are not like that.
190
For example, Spanish.
191
We saw the expert Luna Filipovic,
192
who's a linguist, talk about the differences between English and Spanish and how that even affects your memory,
193
which then affects the way you tell a story, right?
194
But that can change if you change your mentality and if you learn.
195
And we also learned that that's the reason why there are so many phrasal verbs in English.
196
and we also learned that a tip or a hack to doing this
197
and practicing this is going through a movie scene pausing after every scene
198
and finding enriched way to describe it you can do
199
that using a dictionary chat gpt
200
or google that's totally fine you can put the basic way on chat gpt
201
and tell it to give you a nuanced native way of saying
202
that same thing you repeat it
203
and obviously in my course you guys know you can put it into your vocab tracker right?
204
Well, my students, let me know what you thought about this lessons down below.
205
And in the next lesson, we're going to learn something else.
206
So I'll see you soon.

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.
