1
What about the cultural difference?
2
Say, moving from China and going to travel to a new country,
3
what was that like?
4
Honestly, from the first beginning, it was overwhelming.
5
The first time I was in the US,
6
I was in Louisiana, out of nowhere.
7
And I met people, they're the neighbors,
8
they asked me, hey, how are you doing?
9
I was like, huh?
10
Are you talking to me?
11
because in China we don't have small talk
12
so I never did small talk in my whole life I'm
13
like oh who are you talking to oh me I'm like
14
uh okay thank you I don't know what you say
15
and I feel awkward I feel overwhelmed
16
because at the time I'm still thinking okay maybe they will
17
think why this Chinese girl is right here what is she's doing
18
and she doesn't even speak English I will think maybe he's judging me
19
because I don't speak English he was saying I'm dumb from first beginning That's all in my mind.
20
But later I realized I started to speak more.
21
People actually, they like to get to know me.
22
And when I see they have the interest for me,
23
I will try to express myself more and stop thinking about,
24
OK, they're going to judge me because my English is not perfect.
25
And they're always being very supportive and always like inspire me.
26
Oh, you should talk more and your English is really good.
27
And then later I don't think about, OK, I'm dumb.
28
I speak bad English.
29
As long as I can express myself well,
30
I think it's all that matters.
31
Because the grammar is just the way to express yourself.
32
As long as people understand you,
33
no matter what you're speaking, that's the most important.
34
Yeah, for sure.
35
So for example, if I went up to someone in China and I started having small talk with them,
36
like hey how's the weather it's nice today isn't it then
37
what do you think the reaction of a Chinese person would be you mean
38
if it's you like a foreigner oh yeah yeah
39
and they will be like oh wow she's talking to me I mean it's definitely you look
40
so like up like different foreign yeah boring learn boring what about
41
if it was a Chinese person
42
if it's Chinese people people were saying uh why are you
43
talking to me like you don't have your own business business to do right now.
44
Yeah, but sometimes from some regions people are very talkative,
45
especially for the elderly, they like to talk a lot.
46
Maybe you met in the elevator,
47
they will ask you, oh,
48
where did you get this back?
49
You know, sometimes they do,
50
but usually people don't do small talk with you,
51
they don't talk with you.
52
Yeah.
53
Okay.
54
Okay.
55
They're super busy yeah
56
so it's a big cultural difference then um you lived in
57
the united states how how long did you live in the
58
united states honestly i was traveling in the u.s at the
59
time i first time i was there for like five
60
and a half months i was traveling
61
and then the second time i went to visit for like three months
62
and the third time i actually worked there i was doing the working holiday
63
because at the time I really want to get an opportunity to work abroad,
64
to practice more my English and also get better paid.
65
So I worked there.
66
So in total probably like one year and a little bit more.
67
Okay.
68
And what was your first initial reaction moving from China to the United States?
69
I was very excited though I was very excited
70
because I still remember the first day like the plan I'm
71
like arriving in Baylor Rouge I was in Louisiana seriously out of nowhere
72
but I just feel like oh my god the air is
73
so fresh because there's no factory you know so
74
because the air is so fresh and also I feel like I don't I feel
75
so free because we do have a lot of restrictions back to China.
76
We're still very free, but for example,
77
I cannot use Google, I cannot use Instagram in China,
78
but here I can just use everything I wanted to use.
79
So I feel like you can say whatever you want to say and people will accept who you are.
80
So there was no big culture shock in a negative way?
81
I think negative way, yes.
82
I think sometimes people are too nice.
83
You know, because for Chinese, we're very direct.
84
If I like you, I will tell you I like you.
85
If I don't like you,
86
I'm just gonna be polite.
87
But I'm not gonna say it was so nice to meet you,
88
and I had such a great time with you,
89
I'm gonna see you again.
90
If I don't feel that way,
91
I will never say that in Chinese.
92
But I noticed that when I was in the US,
93
I thought we're friends, we had a great time together,
94
I said it was so nice to meet you,
95
we're gonna see each other again.
96
And then you realize, oh maybe for them they don't think the same.
97
By the other time they will be like,
98
oh I was so happy to meet you,
99
it's so nice to meet you and actually they don't mean it
100
but i understand
101
because people want to be positive all the time they want
102
to be nice they want to be always being not encouraging
103
but maybe they just think i'm boring at the time
104
because i don't speak that much english
105
and like why do they wanted to know me you know
106
but it's just sometimes i can't know if people really mean what they say Okay,
107
more in the United States.
108
way with you it's because they really don't like you
109
if they're just completely reactionless and with no enthusiasm at all then they're very you think
110
that they hate you they probably do
111
so for me that was a big maybe culture shock
112
when i visited china because they're very like oh you know
113
but it makes it more special when they do react and when they are enthusiastic because it's It's like,
114
oh, I guess you truly do like me.
115
Yeah, because I think when Chinese people say it's like,
116
you know, they're very welcoming,
117
they show their like your passion to you,
118
that means they're really like you.
119
Yeah, yeah.
120
Because usually Chinese people are very calm.
121
Like, we're very calm.
122
We like to observe that situation first.
123
Yeah, they're very observant.
124
We're not just like, you know,
125
bumping to you and say a lot of things.
126
We like to watch, observe,
127
and to say, okay, how's the situation right now?
128
and how should I react?
129
Yeah.
130
And we're more into like our own business,
131
like what I said, like we don't do small talk,
132
so we'll be like, okay,
133
you do your own business, I do mine.
134
Yeah.
135
Of course, we'll be very like curious about foreigners,
136
so a lot of people,
137
when you're in Shanghai, I think you definitely experienced people wanted to take picture for you,
138
wanted to, you know, talk with you,
139
some kids might come to you practice their English.
140
Yeah, yeah, in Asia a lot too in general.
141
And so what part of learning English do you think changed your life the most?
142
I think for me it's definitely learning English.
143
Let me find out what's my dream for.
144
For me right now, I'm doing my jewelry design and also collecting all the jewelries from all over the world.
145
Yes, so because I discovered when I was traveling,
146
when I was talking to people from all over the world,
147
because I love the cultural things.
148
I love the nature because I've been so many different places.
149
I was in Maldives, Costa Rica, Korea.
150
I've been so many different places because I could speak English.
151
I could communicate with people.
152
I was talking to so many people.
153
For me, talking to them is like you're objecting yourself.
154
You know, I was like observing myself.
155
What do I really like?
156
What's my passion for?
157
What I want to do in my life?
158
And after this two and a half years traveling,
159
solo traveling by myself, I discovered I like fashion.
160
Since I was young, I like fashion.
161
So why don't I just start something with fashion?
162
And because I noticed along the way, I'm always making necklaces.
163
I'm also, you know, collecting all the beautiful jewellery.
164
So that's why right now I started everything and I put a lot of meaning on it.
165
For example, some of my pieces,
166
like for example, this one,
167
like the diamond one, because when I was younger,
168
I liked the song from Rihanna, Shine Like a Diamond.
169
So that's why I made this one.
170
It's so beautiful.
171
Can you see it?
172
Yeah, yeah.
173
I just want to make a close-up while you talk about it.
174
Yeah, so I actually gave this one to my friend as a gift.
175
And at the time, I didn't know I'm going to make jewelry in the future.
176
And I told her, like,
177
you can shine like a diamond.
178
Because I feel like she's so beautiful.
179
She looks a little bit like Rihanna as well.
180
So I gave it to her and she told me,
181
why don't you just start something like you know with your fashion design with jewellery
182
or collecting like all the beautiful things from over the world i'm like yeah why not
183
so that's why right now i'm settling down in maxwell city
184
and i'm trying to build up like everything like for my jewellery
185
and also beautiful things i collect from over the world contain
186
all the cultural things for example for the Chinese things like Chinese design,
187
we have some you know dragons like clouds,
188
we believe in some energy and elements you know,
189
so I just wanted to let people to know different cultures and in in my way like from my perspective,
190
so I want to bring it back to them,
191
meaning bring the energy yeah and each one has a story behind it,
192
exactly a story of your traveling of your journey of your English language journey.
193
Exactly too like right now i have this flower actually i
194
don't know the english name though um in spanish you know
195

219
To wrap up the video,
220
what do you think are your learning English goals now?
221
Now that you're at this level,
222
now that you can have a conversation naturally with me,
223
what's your next step?
224
For me right now, yeah,
225
I'm comfortable speaking English right now.
226
But I feel like there's still certain words,
227
you know, I cannot express myself perfectly.
228
I wanted to know how to become more native.
229
So I would definitely still do shadowing
230
when I'm you know watching like videos on youtube I do love shadowing
231
because it's really like a real reaction you learn from people right
232
and also I wanted to become more professional in my field like a fashion field
233
or because I don't know any vocabularies about like jewellery before
234
so right now I'm gonna you know like get into it to learn more things about my field Yeah,
235
I think this is mainly my English learning goals for right now.
236
And I feel like, you know,
237
learning a language is a lifelong journey.
238
You gotta keep learning, no matter how good you can speak.
239
Because there's always something out there you don't know,
240
and you want to know.
241
So for me, I would love to always keep learning.
242
Perfect, never stop learning, that's what I always say.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
