Практика Shadowing: ROSÉ’s Road to No. 1: From Beyoncé to Bruno Mars “APT.” Friendship | Billboard Cover - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

Never in many years would I have thought that this would happen.

To be nominated for a Grammy, it means a lot that APT is the one that is being celebrated so much.

I'm really, really grateful and a bit like, shook.

I don't even know what to say.

We were radio people.

My dad would have the radio on all the time and because Australia, like LA, everything's far away, like everything's 30 minutes away, so we'd always have the radio on.

And so I grew up listening to all of that.

Britney Spears was on the radio all the time.

I think Madonna was on the radio.

I think I was definitely influenced by a lot of pop.

I love pop music.

When I grew up, YouTube was where I started to listen and watch all these musicians.

And naturally, the very beginning of me like starting to sing and play instruments was after I watched Dreamgirls.

I remember watching Beyonce sing like, listen and being like, oh my god, I really want to be able to sing that.

And I printed it on like the chords on paper

and I would like play it and sing at the top of my lungs.

Simultaneously my sister, because we are Korean, she was very interested in our culture.

She had been you know consuming a lot of Korean music and musicians and and that's when K-pop was around as well.

That's how I got to absorb that.

Seeing it all just was a mixture of things as I am and as I have always been.

In this day and age, I feel like social media

and all these platforms has given everyone such a good opportunity to fulfill so much of their dreams.

And I'm, you know, a result of that.

And I'm really, really grateful.

History of first Korean K-pop artist, that means a lot to me because growing up, there wasn't many people like me.

I was the minority and especially on television and in the music industry.

And so I remember even then I was like, I want to do music, obviously.

Somewhere in me said I want to do music, but I didn't even know that was like a possibility.

Yes, my dad encouraged me to take an audition for this K-pop group and I did, and that's what led me here.

What do you think about your own songs?

I think as I started to prepare my solo album on my own, away from the group also,

it was a lot of challenges and a lot of things that I was determined to learn about,

things that I was never really curious about before question of what do you want to do?

What makes you happy even?

And I had been in a studio for the first time

and been a part of the creation of a song and felt like that really fulfilled me more than anything else.

To really focus on that core feeling and then build on that.

It was a good opportunity for me to kind of meet new people

in this industry in which I was also very privileged and grateful to be able to meet so many people.

And I'm really glad that I took my time

and I had enough people around me to suggest for me to slow down.

Yes, that is very different to, I think, how I was brought up.

And again, that was its own privilege.

I got to focus on music and my craft,

whereas this instance, I had to learn about the details of my job whilst learning about everything else.

And it was a lot to learn in a year and it was a bit overwhelming, but I'm so grateful that it happened.

Amy was in the first session that I was a part of,

and it was really organic because I was in a studio and I had gone through something really interesting the night before,

and I walked in really, really anxious.

Cause I was like, by the way, guys, I've never been a part of a proper session like this before.

You know, I really wanna learn about this.

We started talking and they were like, anything dramatic happened to you?

And I was like, oh, actually, But this has nothing to do with like, it was not even like about like a relationship or anything.

So I was like, I don't think it's really interesting.

And they were like, no, just talk about like, what's up?

And then I was like, oh, I've been going through this thing.

And I was like crying all night.

And I was really, really frustrated.

And I started talking and I remember I just started crying.

And I got really vulnerable.

And they were all like, oh my God, Rosie, I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I remember Amy was like, we should write a song about this.

And that was the first day I believed that anything could be made into a beautiful song,

as long as it's like real emotions and real stories and you've got good intentions and whatnot.

And so that day proved to me that studio means vulnerability.

It means honesty.

She's been great.

And we've had so many sessions where we would just talk about life and we've been each other's like therapists.

Because coming off the album, I was still so inspired.

I remember, like, I was like, one more.

Can I just keep going?

Can you, like, don't stop me?

I'm, like, so excited.

And near the end of it, I made a few things that I've also, like, saved because I love them so much for the next chapter.

I feel like nothing is, like, as you plan it to be.

And I think I was in the studio for a bit.

Right now, I've been realizing that I need to live as well my life

because my first album came from living a full life of 27 years.

And so, you know, in order to be inspired to write anything else, I've noticed I just need to take my time and breathe a bit.

And as I say that, I think I have a session, like a few sessions planned this week, but I am curious.

So I will go in and then, you know, if the universe says not yet, then okay.

But then if they say I'm ready, then amazing.

So it's always like, I think I always just have to pray and see what happens, but don't be too disappointed when, if it's not time yet.

I think being away did inspire me in so many different ways, just creatively and musically.

And I think I was really curious and excited to see how that would play a part with the group.

And also I was excited to see what the other members have brought.

It has been really fun and I'm really, really happy with how, you know, Jump.

I remember that video shoot was so much fun as well and different.

And I feel like at this point, it's just nice to kind of experiment

new things with the girls and the group and to learn not to be afraid to try new things.

The girl power?

Oh, that feels amazing.

I mean, I'm all for it.

It's a big celebration.

I love it and I feel like we're all very comfortable.

Nothing feels weird or forced and I feel really welcomed

and I feel like a lot has changed in the past few years.

I'm really, really grateful for everything and how the internet has brought people together and how everybody's celebrating each other.

I met Bruno, oh my god, the best friend I could ask for in so many ways.

100

He's just been a really good mentor to me and a really good friend.

101

He guides me in a lot of things.

102

At the beginning, he really helped me like inspire me uh not just even with apt

103

but like with the album i had little questions and things

104

that i couldn't figure out and i remember he would just like throw these small things

105

and it would like help he was like a big cheerleader

106

for me on the side at one point at a very crucial moment

107

because i think we like met around like july ish to start working on apt

108

and so it was like a very at a very important moment

109

when i was wrapping everything up and So he was a good sounding board, just a really good friend to chat to.

110

I had the biggest fight with Bruto right before the music video shoot.

111

But we made up on set, so it was all right.

112

I don't think he even remembers.

113

He's like, what did we fight about?

114

I'm like, you don't remember.

115

He wasn't anything really serious.

116

Because we've been preparing everything, like, you know, concepts from day one.

117

He had such a vision for everything.

118

And at first it was really hard to understand.

119

He would be inspired by a lot of things that I had done in the past.

120

And I would ask him so many questions and he'd send me so many videos and he'd be like, Rosie, this is it.

121

And I think as he was sharing, it would like the shape would, you know, kind of like it would form.

122

And so there was just like a lot of communication and sometimes like I'd be annoyed

123

because some things aren't just they're not solid I think they were just like being created along the way

124

and so like any sibling you know there's like a moment you're like oh my god you're so annoyed

125

it happened yeah but then we met and then we're very professional

126

and oh my god it was the best day of my life.

127

It was so much fun.

128

So if you watch the video, it's like, it looks fun, right?

129

I'm not joking.

130

I was laughing the whole day.

131

I think I was like, I'm going to get abs.

132

If I'm smiling in any scene, I'm actually laughing the whole time.

133

I'm like, you know, it was really funny.

134

It's like a funny day.

135

The hair, the question was asked about the hair.

136

All these ideas were like really created very specifically and detailed along the way.

137

And amongst so many conversations was, you know, he captured a picture on my Instagram.

138

I had bought a curling iron and I just started to like curl my own hair.

139

And I remember posting a selfie with that.

140

And he was like, see Rosie, this is like, this seems like the girl.

141

This is like a cool look.

142

And at first it was like, it's just a selfie.

143

Like this is where you're getting inspiration from?

144

That's so random.

145

I just wanted to get into his brain.

146

I wanted to know what his vision was as well.

147

I'm just like drawn to it.

148

Are you ready?

149

I knew that the live stream was coming up.

150

Like I was out with friends that night and then I came home and then I like washed up I was like, I'm so excited to sleep.

151

And I go in my PJs and then I look at the time.

152

I was like, that's 10 minutes from now.

153

My sister called, like FaceTimes me.

154

And I'm like, oh my God, and she's like, it's happening.

155

And then everything just happened in like five minutes.

156

And then I really thought about it and thought, if I didn't watch that, I would have missed a very big moment in my life.

157

Then I slept.

158

And when I woke up, I had like a ton of texts on my phone.

159

And I think that's when it really hit.

160

I felt like my birthday and then I got on a plane and I'm here.

161

So I'm still processing everything.

162

Would I have thought that this would happen to be nominated for a Grammy?

163

But I think most importantly, I feel like the song that is being celebrated

164

and being nominated for the Grammy contains so much of my culture in it.

165

It proves to me also that culture is loved.

166

Different cultures is being accepted, regardless of ages, different backgrounds and cultures.

167

Everyone has been enjoying it so much and I've been watching that and it's really just blown my mind away.

168

And so it means so much to myself, my younger self who grew up feeling like that would not be a possibility.

169

Thank you.

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.
