Практика Shadowing: You Don't Need Style You NEED Swag - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

You don't need style, you need swag.

Now what exactly is swag?

Well, according to Mike Fresh from 2006, he defines swag to be the appearance, style, or the way he or she presents themselves.

And that's exactly what it is.

And then you also have other definitions like this one.

A stupid excuse used by lame-ass thugs and hipsters to justify the bullshit style and fucked up color matching they wear.

But I wanted to make this video

because people seem to confuse the meaning behind style

and swag Having nice style

and having swag are not the same thing having style means

knowing how to dress Well on the other hand you can have swag with no style now Of course

if you have style and swag that's a bonus and

if you don't have any style

and no swag I I don't really know what to tell you

and the modern version of swag

that we're all familiar with is the term aura At least that's what the kids are saying nowadays

But the hipster English language seems to find various ways to reinvent old words

and twist the definition into Something else in the process, but this is where you may be thinking well, how do I get swag?

How do I equip swag in my inventory?

Well, if we remember what Mike fresh said swag is the way you carry yourself

Which means at the end of the day This all comes down to you swag isn't something

that can be bought in a store and sure Maybe some clothes

or jewelry can amplify your swag But that all means nothing

if you don't even have any swag in the first place

And I'd also like to point out women can 100% have swag men women cat dog It really doesn't matter

and instead of telling you how to be swaggy I'm instead going to show you people who have swag

and we're gonna break down what they all have in common Now the first person

that immediately comes to my mind

when I think of the word swag is Allen Iverson really just had

that I don't give a fuck what anyone says about me

gonna do whatever the fuck I want whether you like it

or not kind of mentality

and sure enough that's exactly what he did the NBA literally

hated Allen Iverson Robin Gibbon writes in the in the Washington

Post today She said that's the body language of a thug

and she's talking about the car Everything out this gangster prison attitude in fact they even implemented a dress code

because of him but people loved it The fans loved it.

He was cool Authentic and it created character, but he's one of those people who didn't just have swag He also had style as well.

Like the outfits he wore just added on top of the swag that he already had.

And another person that has style and swag is Princess Diana.

Like, come on, man.

She's wearing the fuck out of these clothes.

And she's letting it be known that she has that shit on.

She's really one of those people that can just make anything look good.

It really doesn't matter what she's wearing.

Like, let's just take a look at this photo of Pharrell Williams.

Literally just wearing a t-shirt with a hat.

That's it.

But it's still swag.

He just has something within him that just gives off that energy.

Some people really just got it.

Like, you can just tell when someone has that energy to them.

It's the same for A$AP Rocky, Chief Keef.

And man, honestly, if you want to talk about swag, Mario Bellatelli.

This motherfucker has that shit on.

When you have swag, there's really no such thing as a bad outfit.

And I'm not even saying that his outfits are bad, but of course, his swag is much more than his outfit.

His hair carries a lot of weight in his appearance, as well as the way he carries himself, which is also part of his swag.

Like, deadass.

I'm probably hating here, but this outfit right here really isn't even that special.

The outfit only looks good because he's the one wearing it.

I know that sounds like insane glaze.

This video is pretty much just one big fucking glaze session, but it's true.

Most people can't pull this outfit off.

He's wearing cuffed joggers with whatever kind of shoes these are, but they all share the same characteristics in that they don't really give a fuck.

It doesn't matter what people say about their hair, their clothes, their appearance.

If they're going to do something or wear something, they're going to do it.

They're relaxed and free.

You can tell by the way they walk that they don't got to stick up their ass.

You know, they're not walking around stiff as fuck.

Everything is just natural to them.

They don't really look out of place.

They look like they belong in their body.

They look like they belong in their clothes.

You can wear as many clothes as you want.

You can have the nicest outfits.

But if you don't feel comfortable in your own skin, you're always just gonna feel like something's out of place.

I'm saying this from experience.

Swag is also something that just can't be forced.

Like, you know when you look at someone and you can just tell they're being performative as fuck?

That's just not who they really are.

Like, they're playing the wrong role in a movie.

Like, they're just trying too hard to be different.

Or their whole personality is just, I'm different, so that means I'm better than you.

Like you can't force something that isn't there

if you have swag you have swag a lame person can get rich But

that doesn't mean he's cool all of a sudden just means

he's a lame person with money same thing for fashion There's

a lot of people who put on clothes thinking the clothes are gonna make them cool

But it's the complete opposite because you're supposed to make the clothes look cool

And if the clothes look cool on top of you being cool, then that's a bonus a lot of these fashion people put on clothes

And then all of a sudden they think they're better than everyone else

or they just turn into a bunch of narcissistic assholes that makes fun of other people's outfits, and then they want to say they have swag.

Like, bro

if anything you're just an asshole it's almost like being confident

versus being an arrogant piece of shit that's kind of what

i would compare the real swag to whatever the fuck this fake swag

or these fashion motherfuckers are um hopefully that makes sense but

if you really want to know how to get your swag

100

up there are lots of ways you can do this you

101

don't need expensive pieces you don't got to be up to date with the latest fashion trends i cannot express this enough.

102

The swag is everything.

103

Swag can literally solve world hunger for fuck's sake.

104

Now, if you want to come off as a bit more swaggy or just genuinely have a nice energy to your outfits, you have to take into account the little things about yourself.

105

Even the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you smell.

106

If you don't take any showers or bathe yourself, you should probably start doing that.

107

I shouldn't be the one to tell you that.

108

It really all comes down to the small details.

109

Everything starts adding up.

110

Find what's most comfortable for you.

111

Some of you are gonna have to get out of your

112

comfort zone A lot of you might be comfortable with Kind of having a fake fabricated personality

113

Or even a fabricated fashion sense Just to please other people Maybe it's

114

because your parents don't let you dress a certain way

115

But for most people It's

116

because you're the only person holding you back From dressing the way you want to dress

117

Or acting the way you want to act Like bro, I'm wearing a white t-shirt right now With fucking Family Guy

118

pajamas man Tell me my swag is in fire as fuck

119

right now I'll walk the streets of Chicago wearing family guy pajamas and I will pull a 45 year old milk.

120

I'm not saying I have swag, but at the very least, I'm confident in myself.

121

That confidence is also going to show in my fuck.

122

And that confidence is also going to show in my outfit.

123

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

124

I know it's not the easiest thing to do to just be confident.

125

It's going to take years to build your confidence.

126

You may never be confident in your life.

127

There's a lot of videos out there, a lot of books you can read on how to build your confidence.

128

But at the end of the day, what's going to make you be confident is through life experience.

129

Swag is really just about knowing yourself and being the person you are at the end of the day.

130

Everybody has their own swag.

131

Swag is authentic.

132

Swag is kind of like DNA.

133

Everybody has different DNA.

134

Everybody has a different fingerprint.

135

Everybody has different swag.

136

Listen, man, I've never met two people with the same swag in my life.

137

Your swag could also be your attitude.

138

If you want to be a dickhead, go ahead and be a dickhead as long as you're one of those nice assholes like

139

if that's just who you are then take full advantage of your personality

140

and use that to curate your style i'm telling you man, style literally means nothing if you don't have swag.

141

Style can only take you so far in this world.

142

It's like a McDonald's cheeseburger.

143

You know, you're going to eat it.

144

It's not really going to fool you up.

145

It's just temporary pleasure.

146

But the swag is like a steak.

147

Yeah, I don't really know what the fuck I'm saying at this point.

148

I think you understand what I'm trying to say here.

149

I'm not trying to give you guys a corny ass analogy.

150

But you know, another part about finding your swag is capitalizing on your energy.

151

If you're an outgoing person, if you're a more mysterious, you're kind of laid back, that's your energy.

152

That's your swag.

153

That's your aura.

154

Oh man, I fucking hate that word.

155

Tap into that energy

156

and naturally it's going to start to reflect with the way you carry yourself

157

and this is going to sink into your outfits.

158

Carry yourself so that everything you're doing looks intentional or it's just carefree.

159

This is something that I do in my life.

160

This has honestly saved me so much embarrassment.

161

I just told myself, like I don't really give a fuck anymore.

162

I can judge me as God anyone else doesn't really matter to me.

163

I can trip and fall in front of five goth baddies, and I'm honestly just gonna act like I did that on purpose.

164

It's not bad to be the person that looks like they tried too hard, but at the same time, you don't wanna carry yourself to the point where it's like, damn, he or she is trying way too hard to act this way

165

or look this way to the point where it just doesn't look natural.

166

Just lay back, man.

167

Just have fun with your life.

168

Have fun with your clothes.

169

Have fun with fashion.

170

Have fun with people.

171

Nothing matters at the end of the day except for your swag.

172

Your swag can genuinely save your life one day

173

and might be able to get you out of a speeding ticket for fuck's sake.

174

The moral of this video, you don't need style, you need swag.

175

And ultimately, in the famous words of Mike Fresh, it's the way you carry yourself.

176

Having a nice style can amplify your swag, but it can only do so much.

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.
