If you study English mostly by watching and reading, here's what happens.

You understand a lot, but when it's time to actually speak,

the words are in your head and they don't come out fast enough.

Believe me, I've been there.

The fastest way I know to fix this is called shadowing.

And I see how much you guys enjoy these videos on the channel.

So we are turning shadowing into a full series.

Each video gives you a real conversation built from a very small list of words.

You practice speaking it out loud and you see for yourself that fluency is not about how many words you know.

This time there are only 210 words in the dialogue.

The level is around B1.

Before we start, tell me in the comments where you're watching from.

Brazil, Vietnam, India, Spain, Bangladesh.

I love seeing the map fill up.

If you're new here, welcome to Lingua Marina.

I moved from Russia to the US 11 years ago and I'm still working on my English every single day.

Subscribe so you don't miss the next video in these series.

Here is how this all gonna work.

You'll see the word list on the screen.

Then we'll go through the tricky words together.

Then you listen to the conversation once,

then we'll play it again and use shadow.

Let's dive in.

few seconds and just read through the word list.

Almost all of these words are ones you learned in your first or second year of English.

And yet, with this list,

two people are about to have a full conversation,

disagree with each other, make a decision,

and tease each other along the way.

Fluency isn't about how many words you know.

It's about how well you use the ones you already have.

Before we get to the actual conversation,

I want to walk you through some of the words that might trip you up.

Either because the pronunciation is a little bit surprising or because the meaning is not exactly what you'd guess.

Let's start with the ones that can be hard to pronounce.

Hour.

So the H is silent.

You say hour.

An hour, half an hour,

an hour and a half.

Honestly.

Same rule.

Silent H.

Honestly.

Maya, our character, uses this word twice in the dialogue.

Budget.

The G is soft.

Budget.

Two syllables.

Commute.

Two syllables stress on the second.

Commute.

The commute is the trip you take from home to work and back.

Tenant.

Two syllables.

Tenant.

A tenant is the person who rents an apartment.

The owner is the landlord.

The renter is the tenant.

Now let's look at some words that you've probably known for years,

but they have a second meaning that catches a lot of learners off guard.

These are the ones where you understand the sentence on paper,

but in real conversation you'll miss what the person actually meant.

Pretty, before an adjective, does not mean beautiful.

Pretty far means quite far.

Pretty good means fairly good.

Native speakers use this constantly.

Pretty tired, pretty quiet, pretty serious, fair.

Fair alone means equal or just.

But that's fair in conversation means,

okay, you have a point.

Maya says it after Jess teases her about the neighbor.

Talk into.

This is a phrasal verb.

To talk someone into something means to convince them.

Jess says, are you trying to talk me into it or talk yourself into it.

That means convince me or convince yourself.

Come down.

Another phrasal verb.

When the price comes down, the price gets lower.

Just says, you ask if he can come down 50.

That means lower the rent by $50.

A green flag.

You know, a red flag, right?

A warning sign.

A green flag is the opposite.

A good sign.

Something that tells you a situation is healthy and safe.

This phrase is everywhere in social media right now.

Use it.

A deal.

When someone says deal at the end of a conversation,

they are agreeing to something.

Like a small handshake without the hands.

Make it work.

This means to find a way to handle a difficult situation.

I'll make it work means I'll figure it out.

By the way, before we get into the conversation,

I want to tell you about something I think a lot of you will actually use.

100

We just put together a new offer on our LinguaTrip handbooks.

101

It's called Turbo English and it's buy two, get one free.

102

The reason I love it is

103

that we built two different sets depending on where you are stuck in your English right now.

104

The first set is for speaking and vocabulary.

105

for you if you understand a lot,

106

but the moment you have to actually speak, you freeze.

107

The words don't come out.

108

You always reach for the same simple phrases,

109

even though you know a lot more.

110

This set gives you the natural expressions native speakers use in everyday conversations,

111

plus a workbook from me that shows you how to bring English into your daily life,

112

so it stops feeling like a school subject and starts feeling like something you actually use.

113

The second set is for grammar.

114

It's a great fit for you if you keep getting confused by the same grammar rules over and over,

115

especially the tenses.

116

This set takes the trickiest grammar topics and breaks them down with examples that actually stick.

117

It also includes a handbook for the small everyday mistakes that even advanced learners still make.

118

Each set is around $12, and because it's buy two get one free,

119

you're really getting three handbooks for the price of two.

120

The link is in the description.

121

Now let's move on to the dialogue.

122

We are going through this conversation in two passes.

123

The first time, just listen.

124

Do not try to repeat anything yet.

125

Get familiar with the rhythm.

126

Get familiar with how Maya and Jess talk to each other.

127

Here's the situation.

128

Maya found an apartment she really likes.

129

The problem is that it is 40 minutes away from her job

130

and it costs a little more than she planned to spend.

131

She's calling her best friend Jess to talk it through.

132

Jess is not sure it's a good idea.

133

Just listen.

134

Jess, hey, do you have a minute?

135

Yeah, what's up?

136

I think I found my apartment.

137

Wait, really?

138

The one you saw yesterday?

139

Yes, I'm going to take it.

140

Oh my God.

141

Okay, tell me everything.

142

It has big windows.

143

There's a small balcony, and the kitchen is actually really nice.

144

What floor?

145

Fourth.

146

There's no elevator, but the stairs are fine.

147

You say that now.

148

Wait until you carry groceries up there.

149

Okay, fair point.

150

So what's the problem?

151

You sound like there's a problem.

152

It's 40 minutes from work.

153

40 minutes?

154

Maya, that is a lot.

155

I know, I know.

156

That's almost an hour and a half every day.

157

Every single day.

158

I did the math, I know.

159

And how much is it?

160

A hundred dollars over my budget.

161

Maya!

162

I know.

163

You're calling me to tell you it's a good idea, aren't you?

164

Maybe.

165

I'm not going to tell you it's a good idea.

166

I know, but honestly, Jess,

167

I walked in and I just felt it.

168

Okay.

169

Tell me about the neighborhood.

170

There's a coffee shop on the corner,

171

a park right behind the building.

172

The street is quiet at night.

173

Quiet is good.

174

What about the neighbors?

175

I met one of them in the hallway,

176

an older woman with a tiny dog.

177

She told me everyone is nice.

178

Of course she said that.

179

She lives there.

180

That's fair.

181

Did you see anyone your age?

182

A few.

183

Two girls were sitting outside the cafe.

184

They smiled at me.

185

That's a green flag.

186

And the landlord, did you meet him?

187

Yes, his name is Mark.

188

He's been the owner for almost 20 years.

189

What was he like?

190

Honestly, really nice.

191

He gave me his number and said I can call him anytime.

192

Okay, I like him already.

193

Most landlords just send an email.

194

Right?

195

And what about the rules?

196

No loud parties after 10.

197

Pets are okay.

198

He fixes things in one or two days. That actually sounds good.

199

So, back to the money.

200

Yeah, the money.

201

$100 is a lot, but it's not impossible.

202

Can you ask him to lower it?

203

That's what I was thinking.

204

But I don't know how to ask.

205

Easy.

206

You send him a short email,

207

say you love the place,

208

mention it's a little above your budget,

209

and ask if he can come down 50.

210

Just 50?

211

Not the full 100?

212

50 is realistic.

213

100 sounds like you're trying to win a deal.

214

50 sounds like you're being honest.

215

That makes sense.

216

And tell him you can move in next week.

217

Landlords love a fast tenant.

218

Okay, I can do that.

219

I'll write it tonight.

220

Good.

221

And the commute?

222

Have you actually looked at it?

223

There's a train.

224

It takes 30 minutes if I leave by 8.

225

If I leave 15 minutes later,

226

it's closer to 50 because of traffic.

227

So you have to be a morning person now.

228

I am going to become a morning person.

229

You hate mornings.

230

I'm going to learn.

231

Maya.

232

I'll listen to podcasts.

233

I'll be the most informed person at my office.

234

Or the most tired.

235

Probably both.

236

Send me pictures when you move in.

237

I will.

238

Talk soon.

239

Now the real practice.

240

We're going to play it again and this time you're going to shadow it.

241

You're going to speak with Maya and Jess, not after them.

242

Do not stop if you misalign.

243

Just keep going.

244

The point is to keep your mouth moving at real conversation speed.

245

Ready?

246

Let's go.

247

Jess, hey, do you have a minute?

248

Yeah, what's up?

249

I think I found my apartment.

250

Wait, really?

251

The one you saw yesterday?

252

Yes, I'm going to take it.

253

Oh my God.

257

262

345

How did it feel?

346

Was Maya's face easy or hard?

347

Was Jess harder to follow?

348

Tell me in the comments and tell me,

349

would you take the apartment or would you side with Jess?

350

Honestly, I would not spending so much time driving back and forth.

351

You can spend that time doing something better.

352

If you want more shadowing videos like this,

353

let me know in the comments.

354

I read them all.

355

I see what you ask for.

356
