Today we have a great video.

You're gonna learn some English today and

if you don't learn English well at least you're gonna practice

English either way you're gonna learn you're gonna practice it's a win-win.

You gotta watch this video to the end.

You will not be sorry I promise you that.

I wanted to do a speaking practice video a speaking exercise video.

By the way I'm in Mexico.

I'm back in Hispanic America baby.

I was in Asia for eight months.

I'm back.

I'm back and I'm better than ever.

I'm excited.

That's just a little update for my friends, my fans, you know, people who care where I am and what I'm doing.

But let's get back to the English learning.

All right.

So I did my research.

I watched one other video on YouTube about speaking exercise, speaking practice.

That was a joke, by the way.

Surprise, surprise.

I didn't like that video.

I thought it was horrible.

So I'm going to do my own version.

But this is how we're going to do it.

I'm not going to pause the video so that you can speak.

That's boring.

You have the responsibility of pausing the video.

That's your job.

Okay.

That's not my job.

This video is going to be flowing.

It's going to be flowing.

It's going to keep going.

It's not going to stop for you.

So you have to stop it.

You have to pause the video.

You need to imitate me.

You need to copy me.

This is how it's going to work.

I have some common phrases or sentences or things that we might say, us native speakers from the United States,

typically people between the ages of 20 and 40.

This isn't like super slang.

This is just how we talk.

This is everyday English for us.

This is normal English.

With each phrase, I'm going to be creating, imagining a scene.

I'm going to be doing a little acting where I'm pretending that I'm talking.

I'm talking to someone and I'm using this phrase and other phrases.

And you might not know all of these.

So you can learn English and you can practice speaking by pausing the video and copying me.

And you might have to go back and repeat, okay?

Okay, I'm going to take off my jacket thing because it's getting hot in here.

All right, so let's just get right into it.

Let's go.

Oh, it's 10 a.m and Lao is still sleeping.

Yeah, it sounds about right.

Yeah, that checks out.

That checks out.

Yeah, she usually sleeps this long.

Oh, it's 11.

She's still sleeping.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Hey, what you been up to?

What you doing?

What you been up to?

What you been doing?

Not much.

Just, you know, working.

Not much.

Just doing, I don't know.

Just not much.

Just trying to survive.

Same.

Same here.

Yeah, it's so cold.

It's freezing.

I'm going to take a hot shower.

I'm going to put the water on scalding hot, and I'm just going to stand under the shower for 30 minutes because it's so cold.

I just want to take a 30-minute shower.

Yeah, same.

Same.

Same here.

Yeah, it's freezing.

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing.

I just had the same idea.

Great minds think alike.

We're on the same page.

Yeah, we were just having the same thought.

Whoa, that's crazy.

That's wild.

That's crazy.

That's insane.

That's ridiculous.

Wait, seriously?

Wait, seriously? For real?

100

No, like, you're being serious?

101

Like, really? no but like yeah but like really yeah I feel you yeah I feel you Yeah, I feel that.

176

I'm like kind of drowning in stuff to do.

177

I just keep piling stuff on top of me.

178

I want to see you soon, but I need to figure it out because I'm like, oh my God, I have no free time.

179

I've just been super busy lately.

180

All my clothes are dirty and I didn't do laundry and I have nothing to wear.

181

I literally, I can't deal with this.

And there's too much.

187

I can't deal with this today.

188

I can't deal with it.

189

I'm not dealing with it.

190

If I could just make it through this day, I'll be okay.

191

I got to go home.

192

I got to go to bed early tonight because I did not get enough sleep last night.

193

I got to go to bed early tonight.

194

So then I can be better tomorrow.

195

Cause today I'm like, oh, I am tired.

196

I am exhausted.

197

This weekend was fun, but I did not get enough sleep last night.

198

I went to bed way too late.

199

It's like 11 PM.

200

You're like, oh, I'll just watch a little bit of the show.

201

And then before you know it, it's three in the morning.

202

Hours go by.

203

I don't even know.

204

I prefer working at home.

205

Like I don't want to have to come in here because the commute is crazy.

206

It's just, it wastes time.

207

And I just want to like be in my pajamas.

208

I just want to be like at home, relax.

209

Like I don't want to have to come in here.

210

I feel like it's just a waste of time.

211

You know, we just had a meeting that could have been an email.

212

It didn't, We didn't need to have a meeting.

213

We did.

214

It could have been an email.

215

We didn't need to talk about it.

216

It's like, I'm so behind on this stuff.

217

Like, I don't have time for it.

218

Yeah, I've been procrastinating a little bit, but I'm I'm going to I'm going to take care of it.

219

I'm going to do it.

220

Hey, you still want to hang out?

221

You still want to do something tonight?

222

Yeah, I was thinking maybe we should just stay in.

223

Like, maybe you could just come over and we could just like watch a movie or something.

224

I have some snacks.

225

We can order some food.

226

I don't really want to go out.

227

Like, I just changed into my comfy clothes.

228

I'm just like curled up on the couch.

229

But if you want to come over, we can just chill.

230

Because I don't want to do all that.

231

I don't want to go out.

232

I don't really want to have to go anywhere.

233

So I just want to stay in.

234

Can you just come over and we can just chill?

235

Yeah, I'm just not really in the mood.

236

Yeah, not really in the mood for all that.

237

Yeah, we can watch whatever you want.

238

Yeah, I don't care.

239

I don't care.

240

As long as I'm just on my couch, I'm happy.

241

Yeah, because last time we went to that place, it was so packed.

242

You have to make a reservation.

243

You can't just show up there.

244

It's like, there's too many people, especially on a Friday night, it's going to be packed.

245

No, you're not, we're not going to find a table.

246

We're not even going to find parking.

247

It's going to be a whole thing just to find parking.

248

It's going to be a whole ordeal just to find parking.

249

And then we have to get a table.

250

It's probably going to be a 45 minute wait.

251

I can't, I can't do that.

252

I don't want to do it.

253

Yeah, honestly, it was really disappointing.

254

I was really disappointed because I had my hopes up.

255

I imagined that it would be so great

256

and I thought it could work and I thought that we could be good together.

257

And I'm always like imagining, like fantasizing about it being a certain way.

258

But then the reality is that we're not compatible and it's not going to work.

259

It's not meant to be.

260

It's not meant to be.

261

I have to accept that.

262

So yeah, I just have to move on.

263

I'm over it now.

264

I've processed it a lot and I've gone through the feelings a lot and felt it and cried a lot.

265

And I had a therapy session all day on Sunday.

266

Yeah, I'm feeling more optimistic now.

267

I was feeling really kind of pessimistic, just kind of down about my life.

268

But now I'm feeling better.

269

I'm feeling hopeful.

270

Yeah, whatever is meant to be is going to be.

271

And one day it's all going to be worth it.

272

And, you know, it's sometimes you got to go through the storm and you to get to the sunshine.

273

I don't know.

274

I just made that up.

275

But to get to the good side, I don't know.

276

Sometimes sometimes you got to go through the crap and you got to go through it.

277

You got to go through the shit.

278

And then and then it gets better every time I learn a lot.

279

So that's great.

280

I'm always learning and feel like I'm getting closer to what I want, even if it hasn't worked out.

281

I feel like I'm getting a better idea of what it is

282

that I want and I'm getting more specific on that

283

and I am probably going to waste less time on things that I don't want.

284

So, yeah, I'll just looking on the bright side.

285

I'm trying to look on the bright side and, but I'm not going to lie.

286

I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

287

I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

288

I'm not going to act like I didn't cry a lot about it because I did.

289

I did cry a lot, but I feel good now.

290

Yeah.

291

I feel like I can say I'm over it because I'm no longer, I no longer feel sad about it.

292

I no longer feel like, like I really wish that it would happen or it could be

293

or you know I wish

294

that it was meant to be it's like I let it go accepted it I let it go

295

and I'm looking forward to when it is meant to be

296

because then I know I know it's gonna be even better

297

because it's gonna be what is meant to be and

298

so I don't know everything happens for a reason that's how I feel like

299

when I look back on my life things make sense even

300

if they didn't in the moment even

301

if they didn't make sense in the moment they make sense now like

302

when I look back in retrospect my life overall seems like

303

it makes sense like everything happened the way it was supposed to

304

and it all really was necessary for my journey my self-discovery

305

and journey and

306

and yeah I don't know maybe this is just all what

307

we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel better about it all

308

the truth is we have no idea what's going on and life can be very hard.

309

At least I have some good friends to talk to.

310

Yeah, I have a lot of things to be grateful for.

311

And at the end of the day, it is what it is.

312

It is what it is, baby.

313

There ain't nothing you can do about it.

314

There ain't nothing you can do about it.

315

All right, so that's all I have for you today.

316

But I could make more videos like this, like speaking, practice, exercise stuff, where I'm, you know, using different phrases and talking about different things

317

and this is just normal english this is just normal everyday real life conversations there were definitely times

318

when i feel like i was mumbling i was talking kind of fast under my breath we say

319

and not enunciating very well but that's how real life english is

320

when i'm making these videos like right now i'm like doing my conclusions

321

and in the introduction

322

and conclusion i'm often talking directly to the camera i'm talking to you guys i'm in my like youtube presenter persona voice.

323

I'm enunciating more.

324

I'm speaking more clearly.

325

I'm even speaking more into the microphone.

326

But when I'm like in a real life situation, you know, the voice is lower.

327

There's less enunciation.

328

It's less clear.

329

You have these very quick off the cuff, you know, phrases, sentences.

330

Don't be discouraged if some of the things you didn't catch just off listening, you had to read the subtitles.

331

Like that's totally normal.

332

That's totally fine.

333

The subtitles are there because you need to use them to study.

334

They are good for learning English.

335

So yeah, I hope you got something out of this video

336

and let me know in the comments what you think and what your ideas are for a future video.

337

I feel like I have a very good idea of what the most common everyday English is.

338

Every time I think about a word or a phrase, I'm always thinking about how often,

339

like how many times do I actually hear this or say this or,

340

you know, how many times have I been exposed to this and I'm always measuring everything in English based on frequency,

341

based on how often I have experienced this phrase or, you know, heard this, seen this, whatever.

342

So I definitely can make a lot of videos like this if you like them.

343

I guess that's it.

344

Hope you have a great day.

345

Bye-bye.

Sobre esta aula

Nesta aula, você vai praticar o inglês falado de forma real, como é usado por nativos americanos entre 20 e 40 anos. O vídeo traz frases cotidianas, não super slang, mas sim a linguagem do dia a dia. Você aprenderá a usar essas expressões em contextos reais e treinará a pronúncia e a fluência por meio do método de imitação. É uma oportunidade de aprender e praticar ao mesmo tempo — um win-win, como diria o apresentador!

Palavras e frases-chave úteis

Win-win: Expressão usada para descrever uma situação em que todos ganham.
Slang: Linguagem informal, usada em conversas coloquiais.
Imitate: Imitar (no contexto, a pronúncia e a entonação do falante).
Flow: Fluidez (a forma como a fala segue sem pausas abruptas).
Everyday English: Inglês do dia a dia, usado em situações normais.
Pause the video: Pausar o vídeo (dica essencial para a prática).

Dicas de prática: shadowing em inglês

O vídeo tem um ritmo fluido e contínuo, então o segredo é usar o shadowing (ou shadowspeak), método de imitação imediata. Aqui estão as dicas:

Pause e repita: O apresentador não pausa, então é sua responsabilidade parar o vídeo após cada frase. Repita imitando a entonação, o tom e a velocidade — isso ajuda a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês.
Imite o contexto: O vídeo usa cenas imaginárias, como conversas com outras pessoas. Tente se colocar no mesmo cenário para que a fala fique mais natural.
Repita várias vezes: Mesmas frases podem parecer difíceis no início, mas com repetição, o shadow speak se torna mais fácil. Focus na fluidez, não apenas na pronúncia.
Use a velocidade ao seu favor: O fluxo contínuo do vídeo treina seu ouvido a entender o inglês falado rapidamente. Mesmo que pareça desafiador, persistir ajuda a se adaptar.

Com essas dicas, você vai transformar a prática em um hábito e ver melhorias na sua fala em pouco tempo. Lembre: o objetivo é se sentir confortável com o inglês real, não apenas memorizar frases!

Gramática neste vídeo

As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:

Estrutura	No vídeo
Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz	be packed · is meant · was meant
Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora	I've been · I've just been · I've processed
Conselho com “should” should + verbo — dizer o que é uma boa ideia	should probably do · should just order · should definitely hang
Past continuous was/were + -ing — uma ação em andamento em um momento do passado	was just thinking · were just having · was thinking

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.
