Transcriber: Jelena Vukovic Reviewer: Ivana Korom There is one phrase that I have always wanted to say to everyone in my life.

0:00.00 – 0:13.36 (13.4s)

That phrase is "Life is easy." It's so easy and fun.

0:13.36 – 0:18.41 (5.1s)

I never thought like that before.

0:18.86 – 0:23.68 (4.8s)

When I was in Bangkok, I felt like life is very hard, very complicated.

0:24.09 – 0:30.68 (6.6s)

I was born in a poor village on the Northeastern of Thailand And when I was a kid, everything was fun and easy, but when the TV came, many people came to the village, they said, "You are poor, you need to chase success in your life.

0:30.80 – 0:51.79 (21.0s)

You need to go to Bangkok to pursue success in your life." So I felt bad, I felt poor.

0:51.79 – 1:01.98 (10.2s)

So I needed to go to Bangkok.

1:01.98 – 1:03.88 (1.9s)

When I went to Bangkok, it was not very fun.

1:03.88 – 1:08.24 (4.4s)

You need to learn, study a lot and work very hard, and then you can get success.

1:08.96 – 1:18.47 (9.5s)

I worked very hard, eight hours per day at least, but all I could eat was just a bowl of noodles per meal, or some Tama dish of fried rice or something like that.

1:18.47 – 1:32.51 (14.0s)

And where I stayed was very bad, a small room where a lot of people slept.

1:32.51 – 1:36.73 (4.2s)

It was very hot.

1:36.73 – 1:38.81 (2.1s)

I started to question a lot.

1:39.31 – 1:41.96 (2.6s)

When I work hard, why is my life so hard?

1:41.95 – 1:47.56 (5.6s)

It must be something wrong, because I produce a lot of things, but I cannot get enough.

1:48.88 – 1:55.54 (6.7s)

And I tried to learn, I tried to study.

1:55.88 – 1:58.85 (3.0s)

I tried to study in the university.

1:58.85 – 2:01.91 (3.1s)

It's very hard to learn in university, because it's very boring.

2:03.54 – 2:08.50 (5.0s)

(Laughter) And when I looked at subjects in the university, in every faculty, most of them had destructive knowledge.

2:08.50 – 2:19.48 (11.0s)

There's no productive knowledge in university for me.

2:20.20 – 2:23.83 (3.6s)

If you learn to be an architect or engineer, that means you ruin more.

2:23.83 – 2:30.90 (7.1s)

The more these people work, the mountain will be destroyed more.

2:30.90 – 2:35.41 (4.5s)

And a good land in Chao Praya Basin will be covered with concrete more and more.

2:35.41 – 2:41.34 (5.9s)

We destroy more.

2:41.34 – 2:42.80 (1.5s)

If we go to agriculture faculty or something like that, that means we learn how to poison, to poison the land, the water, and learn to destroy everything.

2:42.80 – 2:54.30 (11.5s)

I feel like everything we do is so complicated, so hard.

2:54.30 – 2:57.86 (3.6s)

We just make everything hard.

2:57.86 – 3:01.61 (3.8s)

Life was so hard and I felt disappointed.

3:02.07 – 3:06.64 (4.6s)

I started to think about, why did I have to be in Bangkok?

3:06.64 – 3:11.66 (5.0s)

I thought about when I was a kid, nobody worked eight hours per day, everybody worked two hours, two months a year, planting rice one month and harvesting the rice another month.

3:11.66 – 3:24.66 (13.0s)

The rest is free time, ten months of free time.

3:24.66 – 3:27.63 (3.0s)

That's why people have so many festivals in Thailand, every month they have festival.

3:27.63 – 3:31.91 (4.3s)

(Laughter) Because they have so much free time.

3:31.91 – 3:35.83 (3.9s)

And then in the daytime, everyone even takes a nap.

3:35.86 – 3:39.66 (3.8s)

Even now in Laos, go to Laos if you can, people take a nap after lunch.

3:39.66 – 3:45.96 (6.3s)

And after they wake up, they just gossip, how's your son-in-law, how's your wife, daughter-in-law.

3:45.96 – 3:52.88 (6.9s)

People have a lot of time, but because they have a lot of time, they have time to be with themselves.

3:52.88 – 4:02.10 (9.2s)

And when they have time to be with themselves, they have time to understand themselves.

4:02.10 – 4:06.58 (4.5s)

When they understand themselves, they can see what they want in their life.

4:06.58 – 4:11.50 (4.9s)

So, many people see that they want happiness, they want love, they want to enjoy their life.

4:11.50 – 4:18.50 (7.0s)

So, people see a lot of beauty in their life, so they express that beauty in many ways.

4:18.50 – 4:25.13 (6.6s)

Some people by carving the handle of their knife, very beautiful, they weave the baskets very nicely.

4:25.13 – 4:32.96 (7.8s)

But, now, nobody does that.

4:32.96 – 4:35.47 (2.5s)

Nobody can do something like that.

4:35.47 – 4:37.74 (2.3s)

People use plastic everywhere.

4:37.74 – 4:40.13 (2.4s)

So, I feel like it's something wrong in there, I cannot live this way I'm living.

4:40.13 – 4:45.26 (5.1s)

So, I decided to quit University, and went back home.

4:45.26 – 4:51.46 (6.2s)

When I went back home, I started to live like I remember, like when I was a kid.

4:51.46 – 4:58.26 (6.8s)

I started to work two months a year.

4:58.26 – 5:00.97 (2.7s)

I got four tons of rice.

5:00.97 – 5:03.56 (2.6s)

And the whole family, six people, we eat less than half a ton per year.

5:03.56 – 5:09.43 (5.9s)

So we can sell some rice.

5:09.43 – 5:10.90 (1.5s)

I took two ponds, two fish ponds.

5:10.90 – 5:14.78 (3.9s)

We have fish to eat all year round.

5:14.78 – 5:17.01 (2.2s)

And I started a small garden.

5:17.01 – 5:19.83 (2.8s)

Less than half an acre.

5:19.83 – 5:25.02 (5.2s)

And I spend 15 minutes per day to take care of the garden.

5:25.39 – 5:30.60 (5.2s)

I have more than 30 varieties of vegetables in the garden.

5:30.60 – 5:35.75 (5.1s)

So, six people cannot eat all of it.

5:35.75 – 5:39.30 (3.5s)

We have a surplus to sell in the market.

5:39.30 – 5:42.34 (3.0s)

We can make some income, too.

5:42.35 – 5:46.14 (3.8s)

So, I feel like, it's easy, why did I have to be in Bangkok for seven years, working hard and then not have enough to eat, but here, only two months a year and 15 minutes per day I can feed six people.

5:46.14 – 6:00.71 (14.6s)

That's easy. And before I thought that stupid people like me who never got a good grade at school, cannot have a house.

6:01.26 – 6:14.34 (13.1s)

Because people who are cleverer than me, who are number one in the class every year, they get a good job, but they need to work more than 30 years to have a house.

6:14.34 – 6:26.10 (11.8s)

But me, who cannot finish university, how could I have a house?

6:26.10 – 6:30.18 (4.1s)

Hopeless for people who have low education, like me.

6:30.18 – 6:34.09 (3.9s)

But, then I started to do earthly building, it's so easy.

6:34.09 – 6:37.25 (3.2s)

I spend two hours per day, from 5 o'clock in the morning, until 7 o'clock in the morning, two hours per day.

6:37.25 – 6:44.57 (7.3s)

And in three months, I got a house.

6:44.57 – 6:47.17 (2.6s)

And another friend who's the most clever in the class, he spent three months to build his house, too.

6:47.17 – 6:54.59 (7.4s)

But, he had to be in debt. He had to pay for his debt for 30 years.

6:54.59 – 6:59.63 (5.0s)

So, compared to him, I have 29 years and 10 months of free time.

6:59.63 – 7:06.23 (6.6s)

(Laughter) So, I feel that life is so easy.

7:06.27 – 7:12.41 (6.1s)

I never thought I could build a house as easy as that.

7:12.97 – 7:16.06 (3.1s)

And I keep building a house every year, at least one house every year.

7:16.06 – 7:20.26 (4.2s)

Now, I have no money, but I have many houses.

7:20.26 – 7:24.45 (4.2s)

(Laughter) My problem is in which house I will sleep tonight.

7:24.45 – 7:28.97 (4.5s)

(Laughter) So, a house is not a problem, anybody can build a house.

7:28.97 – 7:34.99 (6.0s)

The kids, 13 years old, at the school, they make bricks together, they make a house.

7:34.99 – 7:40.08 (5.1s)

After one month, they have a library.

7:40.08 – 7:42.41 (2.3s)

The kids can make a house, a very old nun can build a hut for herself.

7:42.40 – 7:47.14 (4.7s)

Many people can build a house.

7:47.14 – 7:49.46 (2.3s)

So, it's easy.

7:49.46 – 7:51.29 (1.8s)

If you don't believe me, try it.

7:51.29 – 7:54.13 (2.8s)

If somebody wants to have a house.

7:54.13 – 7:55.76 (1.6s)

And then, the next thing is clothing.

7:55.76 – 7:58.79 (3.0s)

I felt like I'm poor, like I'm not handsome.

8:00.74 – 8:05.27 (4.5s)

I tried to dress like somebody else, like a movie star.

8:05.27 – 8:08.93 (3.7s)

To make myself look good, look better.

8:08.93 – 8:12.42 (3.5s)

I spent one month to save money to buy a pair of jeans.

8:12.42 – 8:16.29 (3.9s)

When I wore them, I turned left, I turned right, looked in the mirror.

8:16.29 – 8:20.30 (4.0s)

Every time I look, I am the same person.

8:20.30 – 8:23.13 (2.8s)

The most expensive pants cannot change my life.

8:23.13 – 8:26.88 (3.8s)

I felt like I'm so crazy, why did I have to buy them?

8:26.88 – 8:30.72 (3.8s)

Spend one month to have a pair of pants.

8:30.72 – 8:33.60 (2.9s)

It doesn't change me.

8:33.60 – 8:34.88 (1.3s)

I started to think more about that.

8:34.88 – 8:37.71 (2.8s)

Why do we need to follow fashion?

8:37.71 – 8:39.73 (2.0s)

Because, when we follow fashion, we never catch up with it, because we follow it.

8:39.76 – 8:43.96 (4.2s)

100

So, don't follow it, just stay here.

8:44.03 – 8:45.72 (1.7s)

101

(Laughter) Use what you have.

8:45.72 – 8:48.60 (2.9s)

102

So, after that, until now, 20 years, I have never bought any clothes.

8:48.60 – 8:53.32 (4.7s)

103

All the clothes I have are leftovers from people.

8:53.32 – 8:56.05 (2.7s)

104

When people come to visit me, and when they leave, they leave a lot of clothes there.

8:56.05 – 9:01.36 (5.3s)

105

So, I have tons of clothes now.

9:01.36 – 9:03.25 (1.9s)

106

(Laughter) And when people see me wear very old clothes, they give me more clothes.

9:03.25 – 9:08.97 (5.7s)

107

(Laughter) So, my problem is, I need to give clothes to people very often.

9:08.97 – 9:14.30 (5.3s)

108

(Laughter) So, it's so easy.

9:14.30 – 9:17.79 (3.5s)

109

And when I stopped buying clothes, I felt like, it's not only clothes, it's about something else in my life, What I learned is that when I buy something, and I think about, I buy it because I like it, or I buy it because I need it.

9:17.79 – 9:35.05 (17.3s)

110

So, if I buy it because I like it, that means I'm wrong.

9:35.05 – 9:40.22 (5.2s)

111

So, I feel more free when I think like this.

9:40.22 – 9:43.67 (3.4s)

112

And the last thing is, when I get sick, what will I do?

9:43.66 – 9:47.65 (4.0s)

113

I really worried in the beginning, because then I had no money.

9:48.12 – 9:51.44 (3.3s)

114

But, I started to contemplate more.

9:51.44 – 9:56.20 (4.8s)

115

Normally, sickness is a normal thing, it's not a bad thing.

9:56.20 – 9:59.77 (3.6s)

116

Sickness is something to remind us that we did something wrong in our lives, that's why we got sick.

9:59.77 – 10:05.68 (5.9s)

117

So, when I get sick, I need to stop and come back to myself.

10:05.67 – 10:08.86 (3.2s)

118

And think about it, what I did was wrong.

10:08.86 – 10:12.09 (3.2s)

119

So, I learned how to use water to heal myself, how to use earth to heal myself, I learned how to use basic knowledge to heal myself.

10:12.09 – 10:22.95 (10.9s)

120

So, now that I rely on myself in these four things, I feel like life is very easy, I feel something like freedom, I feel free.

10:22.95 – 10:32.96 (10.0s)

121

I feel like I don't worry about anything much, I have less fear, I can do whatever I want in my life.

10:32.96 – 10:39.86 (6.9s)

122

Before, I had a lot of fear, I could not do anything.

10:39.93 – 10:43.14 (3.2s)

123

But, now I feel very free, like I'm a unique person on this Earth, nobody like me, I don't need to make myself like anybody else.

10:43.14 – 10:50.70 (7.6s)

124

I'm the number one.

10:50.70 – 10:52.72 (2.0s)

125

So, things like this make it easy, very light.

10:52.72 – 10:55.50 (2.8s)

126

And, after that, I started to think about that when I was in Bangkok, I felt very dark in my life.

10:55.50 – 11:06.54 (11.0s)

127

I started to think that many people maybe thought like me at the time.

11:06.54 – 11:10.90 (4.4s)

128

So, we started a place called "Pun Pun" in Chiang Mai.

11:10.90 – 11:15.21 (4.3s)

129

The main aim is just saving seed.

11:15.22 – 11:19.40 (4.2s)

130

To collect seed, because seed is food, food is life.

11:19.40 – 11:22.71 (3.3s)

131

If there is no seed, no life.

11:22.71 – 11:25.34 (2.6s)

132

No seed, no freedom.

11:25.34 – 11:26.76 (1.4s)

133

No seed, no happiness.

11:26.76 – 11:28.64 (1.9s)

134

Because your life depends on somebody else.

11:28.64 – 11:30.73 (2.1s)

135

Because you have no food.

11:30.73 – 11:32.99 (2.3s)

136

So, it's very important to save seed.

11:32.99 – 11:35.53 (2.5s)

137

That's why we focus on saving seed.

11:35.53 – 11:37.78 (2.2s)

138

That's the main thing in Pun Pun.

11:37.78 – 11:40.49 (2.7s)

139

And the second thing is it is the learning center.

11:40.49 – 11:44.39 (3.9s)

140

We want to have a center for ourselves to learn, learn how to make life easy.

11:44.39 – 11:50.25 (5.9s)

141

Because we were taught to make life complicated and hard all the time.

11:50.25 – 11:54.48 (4.2s)

142

How can we make it easy? It's easy, but we don't know how to make it easy anymore.

11:54.48 – 12:02.88 (8.4s)

143

Because we always make it complicated and now, we start to learn, and learn to be together.

12:02.88 – 12:09.34 (6.5s)

144

Because, we were taught to disconnect ourselves from everything else, to be independent, so we can rely on the money only.

12:09.34 – 12:16.93 (7.6s)

145

We don't need to rely on each other.

12:16.96 – 12:18.65 (1.7s)

146

But now, to be happy, we need to come back, to connect to ourselves again, to connect to other people, to connect our mind and body together again.

12:18.68 – 12:27.78 (9.1s)

147

So, we can be happy. Life is easy.

12:27.78 – 12:31.62 (3.8s)

148

And from beginning until now, what I learned is the four basic needs: food, house, clothes and medicine must be cheap and easy for everybody, that's the civilization.

12:31.62 – 12:44.13 (12.5s)

149

But, if you make these four things hard and very hard for many people to get, that's uncivilized.

12:44.13 – 12:52.12 (8.0s)

150

So, now when we look at everywhere around us, everything is so hard to get.

12:52.12 – 12:59.05 (6.9s)

151

I feel like now is the most uncivilized era of humans on this Earth.

12:59.05 – 13:04.89 (5.8s)

152

We have so many people who finish university, have so many universities on the Earth, have so many clever people on this Earth.

13:04.89 – 13:15.35 (10.5s)

153

But, life is harder and harder.

13:15.35 – 13:18.47 (3.1s)

154

We make it hard for whom?

13:19.73 – 13:21.43 (1.7s)

155

We work hard for whom right now?

13:21.88 – 13:23.79 (1.9s)

156

I feel like it's wrong, it's not normal.

13:26.25 – 13:29.40 (3.1s)

157

So, I just want to come back to normal.

13:29.42 – 13:31.68 (2.3s)

158

To be a normal person, to be equal to animals.

13:31.70 – 13:36.29 (4.6s)

159

The birds make a nest in one or two days.

13:36.32 – 13:40.38 (4.1s)

160

The rats dig a hole in one night.

13:40.41 – 13:43.01 (2.6s)

161

But, the clever humans like us spend 30 years to have a house, and many people can't believe that they can have a house in this life.

13:43.60 – 13:53.74 (10.1s)

162

So, that's wrong.

13:54.96 – 13:56.38 (1.4s)

163

Why do we destroy our spirit, why do we destroy our ability that much?

13:56.40 – 14:02.27 (5.9s)

164

So, I feel that it's enough for me, to live in the normal way, in the abnormal way.

14:03.78 – 14:11.84 (8.1s)

165

So, now I try to be normal.

14:11.84 – 14:14.13 (2.3s)

166

But, people look at me as the abnormal one.

14:14.16 – 14:16.50 (2.3s)

167

(Laughter) A crazy person.

14:16.50 – 14:19.26 (2.8s)

168

But, I don't care, because it's not my fault.

14:19.26 – 14:24.00 (4.7s)

169

It's their fault, they think like that.

14:24.03 – 14:26.54 (2.5s)

170

So, my life is easy and light now.

14:28.07 – 14:32.23 (4.2s)

171

That's enough for me.

14:32.23 – 14:33.95 (1.7s)

172

People can think whatever they want.

14:33.95 – 14:35.66 (1.7s)

173

I cannot manage anything outside myself.

14:35.66 – 14:38.78 (3.1s)

174

What I can do is change my mind, manage my mind.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.

Как эффективно заниматься на ShadowingEnglish

Выберите видео: Найдите YouTube-видео с чёткой, естественной английской речью. Отлично подойдут TED Talks, BBC News, сцены из фильмов, подкасты или примеры ответов IELTS. Вставьте URL в строку поиска. Начните с коротких видео (до 5 минут) и контента, который вам действительно интересен — мотивация важна.
Сначала слушайте, поймите контекст: При первом прослушивании оставьте скорость 1x и просто слушайте. Не пытайтесь повторять. Сосредоточьтесь на понимании смысла, запоминании новых слов и обратите внимание на ударения, связывание звуков и паузы говорящего.
Настройте режим Shadowing:
- Режим ожидания: Выберите +3с или +5с — после каждого предложения видео автоматически ставится на паузу, чтобы вы могли повторить вслух. Выберите Вручную, если хотите полный контроль и нажимать «Далее» самостоятельно.
- Синхр. субтитров: Субтитры YouTube иногда появляются немного раньше или позже звука. Используйте ±100мс, чтобы выровнять их и следить точно.
Повторяйте вслух (основная практика): Здесь происходит настоящая работа. Как только предложение прозвучит — или во время паузы — повторите его вслух, чётко и уверенно. Не просто проговаривайте слова: копируйте ритм, ударение, тон и связную речь говорящего. Стремитесь звучать как тень говорящего, а не пословный повтор. Используйте функцию повтора, чтобы отработать одно и то же предложение несколько раз, пока оно не станет естественным.
Повышайте сложность: Когда отрывок кажется комфортным, повышайте планку. Увеличьте скорость до <code>1.25x</code> или даже <code>1.5x</code> для тренировки высокоскоростных языковых рефлексов. Или установите режим ожидания на <code>Выкл</code> для непрерывного Shadowing — самый продвинутый и результативный режим. Ежедневная практика 15–30 минут даст заметные результаты в течение нескольких недель.
