Shadowing Practice: Speak With Me: 30 Minute English Speaking Practice - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello, hello.

Hello, all.

Welcome.

Settle down.

Come in.

Sit down.

English class has begun.

So today, we're going to be looking at B2, kind of like upper intermediate level phrases, sentences in context.

And hopefully, you're going to be practicing speaking.

I want you speaking.

I want you talking.

I want you saying these sentences, these phrases out loud with me.

Say them with me.

You don't have to say them at the same time, but you can say it after I say it just i

want you to be practicing them i want you to be practicing your speaking

so you're practicing listening and speaking the phrases

that we're looking at today the sentences

that we're looking at this is like real life english this

is what native speakers use on a regular basis this is normal stuff

so this is good for you to practice english and also learn english get comfortable with more phrases and sentences in English.

So let's begin.

Basically, I'm going to be giving you a sentence or two, like to provide context.

And then I'm going to tell you what you can say in that situation.

So I'm going to be reading this stuff.

I have my laptop here.

So you're at work, your coworker, this is a good word.

A lot of students don't know this word or they don't use this word.

They say colleague.

Colleague is okay, but I personally like to use coworker, even though I don't have any because I work by myself. So sad.

Anyways, your coworker explains a plan, but you think it might cause problems later.

You can say, I'm not sure that's going to work in the long run.

Okay.

I almost said workout, even though I read work, but I almost said workout

because we like to use phrasal verbs you know my my

brain is my brain is wired for phrasal verbs yeah you

could say either way i think i'm not i'm not sure

i'm not sure that's going to work in the long run

or i'm not sure that's going to work out

so i'm not sure that's going to work in the long run in the long run right long term

or in the long run i'm not sure that's going to

work it's written that's going to work i'm not sure that's going to work

but you know native speakers even at work even in professional

environments we say gonna i'm not sure that's going to work

in the long run i'm not sure that's going to work

long term i'm not sure that's going to work in the

short term in the in the short short run short run i don't know

if we say short run

but we definitely say short term short term long term long

run i don't know different ways of saying it all right

next one you're talking to a friend who is stressed about

something small like being late by a few minutes oh my goodness she's stressing or he

or she is stressing about being late by a few minutes

clearly not someone from latin america okay you want to calm

them down you can say it's not really a big deal

well you be careful with your with your tone with your

with your attitude sometimes sometimes i say this in the in the wrong way

so um yeah it's not really a big deal

or you you know what i would probably say girl

or boy no no you don't have to say be careful with

that because it could be disrespectful

so you got to be careful how you use girl and boy

but anyways you can say it's not a big deal no don't worry about it girl it's not a you're

if you're a few minutes late relax okay i'm on latin

time i don't care i'm used to it i'm used to it relax it's not a big deal Hey, it's not a big deal.

It's a few minutes.

Yeah.

All right.

Next one.

You're in a group conversation.

Someone says something you don't agree with, but you want to stay polite.

By the way, sorry if there's glare in my glasses and you can't even see me.

Anyways, you're in a group conversation.

Someone says something you don't agree with, but you want to stay polite.

You can say, I see your point, but I don't completely agree.

Yeah.

So it's good to, even if you disagree, like it's good to validate someone's point or perspective

that makes them feel heard that makes them feel listened to

so you can say i see your point i see your

point i i understand what you're saying i get what you're saying

but i don't completely agree you got to stay firm in

that i i see your point

but i don't completely agree i don't completely agree i don't really agree i don't agree with

that and here's why all right you're explaining why you couldn't finish something on time at work or school.

You can say, I ran out of time.

Yeah, I ran out of time.

You know how we use this expression, ran out, ran out of something?

Like when you, you know, you need to go to the grocery store and buy more food because you ran out of food.

Like, I ran out of avocados.

I got to buy more.

Same thing with time.

I ran out of time.

I didn't have enough time.

I ran out of time.

We love to run out.

To run out of something, native speakers, we use it all the time.

You're talking about a plan, but you're not 100 % sure it will happen.

You're talking about a plan, but you're not 100 % sure it'll happen.

you're not 100 % sure it will happen.

100

I said it'll, but it actually is it will happen.

101

But I read it as it'll happen.

102

It'll because we do that, you know, contractions.

103

You're not 100 % sure it'll happen.

104

You can say, we'll see how it goes.

105

Yeah, I don't know.

106

Maybe, maybe it'll happen.

107

Maybe we'll see.

108

Sometimes a lot of times we just say, we'll see.

109

We'll see.

110

We will see.

111

We'll see.

112

We'll see.

113

We'll see how it goes.

114

Yeah, let's, let's see how it goes.

115

We'll see how it goes.

116

We'll see.

117

You're reacting to something surprising that someone tells you.

118

You can say, I didn't expect that.

119

Wow.

120

Wow.

121

That's crazy.

122

I didn't expect that.

123

Wow.

124

I didn't expect that.

125

That's crazy.

126

Wow.

127

Wow.

128

That surprised me.

129

Wow.

130

That surprised me.

131

I didn't expect that.

132

I didn't, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that.

133

We react to things a lot like that.

134

You sound like a native speaker.

135

If you react like that, you're explaining a problem that is starting to get worse.

136

You can say it's starting to become a problem yeah it's

137

starting it's starting to be to be an issue it's starting

138

to be an issue it's starting to be a problem it's

139

starting to become a problem starting to become an issue it's

140

starting to turn into a problem you can say it's starting

141

to turn into a problem starting to turn into an issue

142

yeah starting to become an issue you're talking about a situation

143

that depends on something else happening first you can say it

144

depends on what happens next i don't know it depends sometimes we just say it depends uh

145

but you can say the longer version you know it depends

146

on what happens depends on what happens next it depends on

147

what happens first it depends on whatever it depends on you're in a meeting

148

and you want to return to the main topic after people go off topic

149

so when you go off topic you start talking about something else

150

so you're in a meeting people go off topic you want to get back to the main point

151

so you say let's get back to the main point oh

152

my god this literally i didn't even read the phrase i just said the first thing

153

that popped into my head

154

and it's the phrase it's it's the thing i'm going to teach you

155

and i didn't even know that that was what it was uh yeah

156

that just is proof that's proof

157

that this is realistic stuff right here let's get back to

158

the main point all right guys let's get back to the main point all right

159

and we're getting we're getting off topic you can say we're

160

getting off topic we're getting off topic let's get back to

161

the main point let's get back let's get back to the main point you're explaining

162

that something didn't happen the way you planned you can say

163

things didn't go as planned things didn't go as planned as

164

planned things didn't go as planned things didn't go as planned

165

that's how it would be like fast you know things didn't go as planned go as yeah as

166

when we don't put emphasis

167

because we're saying it fast in a sentence we just say

168

go as go as planned as as it's not like as it's like as go as planned

169

and it sounds like is

170

so you have to be able to differentiate differentiate i mean is wouldn't make sense in

171

that case so that's how you know based on the context

172

but yeah as when we talk fast it sounds like almost like is

173

so be careful like didn't go as go as go as

174

planned didn't go as planned things didn't go as planned all

175

right you're talking to someone who is making a simple situation

176

too complicated who is making a simple situation too complicated you

177

can say i think you're making it more complicated than it

178

needs to be then it needs to be remember then is

179

what we use like to compare things right like this is bigger than

180

that then t -h -a -n t -h -a -n

181

so i think you're making it more complicated than it needs

182

to be i think you're making it more complicated than it

183

needs to be yeah pretty simple straightforward a lot of this

184

stuff is like pretty straightforward easy stuff a lot of you probably already know all this stuff

185

but like some of you don't a lot of you probably understand all these phrases, but are you using them yourself?

186

Are you using them in your normal speaking, in your normal life of English, in your English life?

187

Would you use these in conversation easily, effortlessly?

188

So it's still good to practice.

189

Even stuff you already know, it's good to practice speaking it, saying it for many reasons.

190

So don't ever be like, oh it's too easy okay i'm not teaching you like the

191

dog is brown the cat is small i'm not teaching you stuff like

192

that okay this is like this is like really useful everyday real life sentences

193

that are not for beginners they're not basic um

194

but it's just normal english

195

and it's good to practice speaking saying them okay you're reacting to a suggestion that sounds reasonable a reasonable suggestion.

196

You can say, that sounds like a good idea.

197

That sounds like a good idea.

198

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

199

Sounds good.

200

Something I noticed today when we ask if something sounds good, sometimes we just say, sound good?

201

Like, I'm telling you, okay, in this video, blah, blah, blah, we're going to do this, this, this.

202

Sound good?

203

I'm asking you, like, is that okay?

204

Is that okay for you?

205

Do you think that's good?

206

Sound good?

207

So a lot of times we just say, sound good, when we're asking the question, right?

208

Sound good?

209

But the answer or the sentence would be, sounds good.

210

It sounds good.

211

So the full thing would be, it sounds good.

212

A lot of times we just say, sounds good as a response or as a sentence, as a statement.

213

But when we're asking someone, we're going to cut off the S and say, sound good?

214

Sounds good.

215

Sound good.

216

Sounds good.

217

I don't know why we do that, but yeah, just so you know, there is sometimes a difference there.

218

So that sounds like a good idea.

219

You're explaining that something is okay for now, even if it's not perfect.

220

You can say, it's good enough for now.

221

It's good enough for now good enough it's good enough yeah

222

it's good enough for now you're talking about a situation you're

223

talking about a situation where you need more time to decide

224

you can say i need a bit more time to think

225

about it um i don't know this is the first one

226

that maybe it doesn't sound supernatural to me i need a

227

bit more time i need a bit more time i would

228

probably say uh i need a little bit more time i

229

need a bit more time i need a little bit i

230

feel like little bit sounds better i need a little bit more time

231

or just I need a I need a little more time

232

yeah I would probably just say I need a little more

233

time I need a little more time I don't know I

234

think maybe the British like to use just bit more often than I think we like little in American English

235

and little bit little so

236

because I would say I need a little more time I

237

need a little more time I need a little more time

238

to think about it yeah that's probably what I would say I need a little I need a little and you know, little, when we say it fast, it sounds like Lil, you know, that's why like you have rappers like Lil Wayne,

239

Lil Wayne, you know, it's not because it's little, but when you, when we say it, it sounds like Lil, Lil, um, I need a little more time.

240

I need a little more time to think about it.

241

I need a little more time.

242

Yeah.

243

I just need a little bit more time.

244

I need a little bit more time to think about it.

245

You're reacting when someone explains something clearly, you can say that makes sense okay that's that's a little bit too easy

246

that makes sense okay let's do more all right you're at

247

work a lot of at work stuff here you're at work your manager asks

248

if you can finish a task today finish a task today

249

finish a task today that's a tongue twister tongue twister finish

250

a task today task today some things in English I'm just

251

like geez that's hard to say It's hard to say

252

and i'm a native speaker You can your manager asks if you can finish a task today, but you already have too much to do You want to be honest without sounding negative.

253

You can say i'll do my best, but I can't promise i'll finish it today Sometimes we say I can't promise anything.

254

I'll try i'll do my best, but I can't promise anything I'll do my best, but I can't promise i'll finish today.

255

I can't promise.

256

Oh, sorry I'll finish it.

257

Don't forget the it.

258

I didn't read that part.

259

I'll finish it It is very important.

260

I'll do my best, but I can't promise I'll finish it today.

261

A lot of English learners forget the it because their languages don't use it so much or, yeah, it's not always necessary.

262

But in English, we use it a lot to refer to the thing that we're talking about.

263

I'll do my best, but I can't promise I'll finish it today.

264

Can't promise.

265

Can't promise I'll finish today, but I'll do my best.

266

I'll do my best.

267

You're talking to a friend who keeps canceling plans at the last minute, keeps canceling plans at the last minute.

268

You want to show you're annoyed, but not too aggressive.

269

You can say, it's getting a bit frustrating, to be honest, to be honest.

270

It's getting a bit frustrating, to be honest, to be honest.

271

Yeah.

272

So we say, to be honest, we also say, honestly, honestly, honestly, it's getting a bit frustrating.

273

It's getting a bit annoying.

274

It's getting a little annoying.

275

Once again, like you can say bit a bit frustrating you can say

276

that I think my personal preference is I usually say little

277

it's getting a little annoying it's getting a little annoying

278

but also it's getting a bit annoying now I use it I use bit also I use both just

279

so you know you can use both it's getting a bit

280

frustrating it's getting a bit it's getting a little annoying it's

281

getting honestly it's getting a little annoying it's starting to bother

282

me it's starting to annoy me it's starting to bother me

283

to be honest it's getting a bit frustrating yeah you're in a discussion

284

and someone explained something I saw this video about how this woman uh she she's saying how she loves

285

when people who wear glasses do this like push up their

286

glasses with their finger like this she's like she loves it I need to remember to do

287

that more often I guess it's cute I don't know I usually just I just go like this.

288

You're in a discussion and someone explains something, but you don't fully understand.

289

You want them to explain it again.

290

You can say, can you go over that again?

291

Can you go over that again?

292

Go over that.

293

Go over it.

294

Go over has a lot of meanings, doesn't it?

295

Can you go over that again?

296

So in the context of a discussion, talking about something, especially, yeah, somebody explaining something, teaching something,

297

a lecture, but it could just be a discussion conversation.

298

But usually it's, yeah, when someone is explaining something or teaching something, you would say, go over it.

299

Like the teacher might say, all right, today I'm going to go over this, this, this, like I'm going to go over this topic and this, it's like to talk about it in depth, to explain it, to teach it.

300

Yeah.

301

So can you go over that again?

302

Can you explain it again?

303

can you teach it again talk about it again yeah

304

so it's for this specific kind of context you wouldn't say

305

that if you just want someone to repeat what they said like in any conversation it doesn't work

306

that way it's not it's not like what did you say it's not like

307

that it's like to go in depth about a topic you know to talk in depth

308

so can you go over that again i i didn't understand that part

309

when you talked about blah blah blah yeah you're explaining why

310

you made a decision quickly you're explaining why you made a

311

decision quickly you can say i didn't really have much choice

312

i didn't really have much choice well yeah you could say

313

that i didn't really have much choice uh i didn't really

314

have a choice i didn't really have any choice i didn't

315

really have any i didn't really have a choice i didn't

316

really have much choice yeah um i didn't really have any

317

other options like i didn't really have much choice i didn't

318

have uh it wasn't up to me like it wasn't my

319

decision um yeah i didn't really have much choice i i i made this decision quickly

320

because i don't know it seemed like a good idea in the moment i didn't really have many other options

321

many other choices so yeah i didn't really have much choice i i had to i had to make this decision quickly.

322

I had to make that decision.

323

You're reacting to something that seems obvious to you.

324

You can say, that's pretty clear.

325

Okay.

326

I disagree with this one.

327

If something seems obvious to you, I wouldn't say that.

328

I would probably say like, yeah, I think that's pretty obvious.

329

You got to be careful though.

330

It can sound a little rude.

331

I would say, yeah, I mean, you can say that.

332

That's pretty clear.

333

Yeah, it's fine.

334

It's fine.

335

You can say that.

336

I guess it all depends on the context.

337

Sometimes it's hard for me to imagine like the specific conversation in which I would say this or the specific moment, but yeah, that's pretty clear.

338

Like, yeah, we can, we can tell, we can, we can see it.

339

We can, yeah, we can, it's pretty obvious.

340

It's pretty clear.

341

Yeah.

342

Yeah.

343

I think, I think most of us understand that.

344

I think, yeah, I think it's pretty evident, pretty clear, pretty obvious.

345

Yeah.

346

I already know that.

347

Yeah.

348

Yeah.

349

Yeah.

350

Yeah. So, okay.

351

So I don't, disagree um it all it all just depends like even though

352

i'm giving you context i'm not giving you i'm not telling you what we're actually talking about

353

so it's still like limited context so sometimes it confuses me

354

but yeah it's fine maybe not in every situation

355

but it's fine you're talking about a situation where something is

356

improving slowly you can say it's getting better little by little

357

okay i think most students know this phrase little by little it's getting better little by little.

358

You can also say it's, it's gradually getting better.

359

Gradually.

360

This is a good word.

361

It's gradually improving.

362

It's, it's gradually getting better.

363

Um, it's slowly getting better.

364

It's slowly improving.

365

Um, yeah, it's, it's getting better little by little.

366

It's improving little by little.

367

Yeah.

368

You're in a meeting and you want to add your opinion.

369

Why do I always, I just realized I'm like doing all these hand stuff, but I don't even know if you can see okay you're in a meeting

370

and you want to add your opinion after listening to others

371

you can say from my point of view we should try something different okay um yeah i

372

or you could just say i think we should try something

373

different like yeah i mean yes you can say from my

374

point of view from my perspective in my opinion like yes

375

you can say these things i would just cut right to the chase i would just get right to it

376

and probably just say yeah i think we should try something different i think we should try something different

377

because i think we can do better i think this isn't

378

working um yeah i think we should try something different yeah i feel like i feel like from my point of view,

379

it's kind of almost not even necessary in this phrase because it it kind of sounds like you're about to

380

provide some whole new complex perspective

381

but all you're saying is we should try something different

382

so it's kind of simple so i think maybe we should just keep it simple

383

and say i think we should try something different

384

but there are these phrases like from my point of view

385

which means like in my opinion from my perspective so if you didn't know those phrases now you know them.

386

But do I use them all the time?

387

No, not really.

388

Because a lot of times we just say, I think, we just say, I think, I think we should do this.

389

So yes, these phrases exist and they can be useful, but you know, a lot of times native speakers, we just keep it simple.

390

You know, you're explaining that something is not your decision to make.

391

You can say, it's not up to me.

392

Okay.

393

I already said this phrase, right?

394

It's not up to me.

395

It's not my decision it's not up to me it's up to

396

so and so it's up to whoever

397

that person it's not up to me it's up to you

398

it's up to you it's not up to me all right

399

uh you're reacting to a situation where something went wrong unexpectedly

400

you can say i don't know what i don't know what

401

i don't know what went wrong what went what went god

402

i can't even speak english today i don't know what went wrong.

403

I don't know what went wrong.

404

I don't know what happened.

405

That's probably what I would say.

406

I don't know what happened.

407

Yeah.

408

I don't know what went wrong.

409

I don't know what happened.

410

I don't know what happened.

411

Yeah.

412

It was crazy.

413

Like I didn't expect that.

414

I didn't expect that.

415

I don't know what happened.

416

You're talking about a plan that might change later.

417

You can say, this is just a rough plan for now.

418

Okay. So rough.

419

Sometimes we use rough to say like, like a rough idea, a rough plan, even a rough draft is like,

420

maybe the first time you write something, it's a rough draft.

421

And then you have to edit it and you have to improve it, you know, and eventually you get your final draft, your final version.

422

But in the beginning, you just have a rough draft.

423

It's just a lot of times we use rough to refer to like the beginning stage of something.

424

Like it's just a beginning, just like a starting idea, a starting plan, a starting piece of writing or video,

425

you know, like when I first filmed this video, like this video I'm filming right now, this is a rough draft.

426

Then I have to edit it.

427

I have to do things to it.

428

You know, this is the rough draft right here.

429

So rough sometimes is used that way to say like the starting point, the starting version, the first version.

430

So this is just a rough plan for now.

431

It's just like, this is just like the first plan, the first idea, but it's like, it could be different it could change it's probably going to change

432

or evolve over time

433

but this is just a rough idea a rough plan um yeah it's like a starting point you know

434

and you could think about it is like um like maybe you have a material that's rough rough

435

and you have to make it smooth over time

436

so it's like rough to touch

437

and you have to smooth it smooth it you have to make it better over time

438

so maybe that's why we use rough to refer to like

439

the original point like you know how you have wood

440

when you're building something you have wood like just raw wood from the tree

441

and it's rough but then you have to take like sandpaper

442

and sand it sand it down and it becomes like smoother

443

and then you polish it and whatever

444

so the rough wood is like the first wood you know i think you understand okay you're explaining

445

that you agree with someone you can say i think you're right about

446

that ah super simple you see a lot of times b2

447

is not even like it's like a lot of you are b2

448

and you don't even know you're b2 because it's not

449

that hard like it's simple stuff it's simple english it's like this is everyday english i think you're right about

450

that yeah i think you're right about

451

that um yeah i guess fluency it's not it's not

452

so much about like what you can understand it's about like

453

how you can express your how easily you express yourself how naturally you express yourself

454

when you speak so

455

if you can confidently use phrases like this then yeah you're doing fantastic um

456

but i think for a lot of people like they understand these phrases

457

but they might not confidently use them themselves

458

so that's what we got to work on here that's what we got to practice speaking

459

so you're explaining that you agree with someone you can say I think you're right about

460

that yeah you know what I think you're right about

461

that you know what I think you're right I think you're right about

462

that yeah yeah I think you're right about that

463

you're reacting I was trying to think of another way

464

that we say you're right um

465

but I feel like that's the only way we say it

466

like you're right yeah that's like the main way we say

467

it at least I can't even think of another way that we say it so

468

yeah you're right yeah you're right i'm wrong you're right i think you're right about

469

that yeah or we just say like true

470

that yeah that's true that's true that's that's true you're reacting

471

when someone suggests something unrealistic you can say that's going to

472

be difficult i would just say that's not realistic that's not going to happen that's that's unrealistic like

473

that sounds great in theory

474

but in reality in real life it's not realistic it's probably

475

not going to happen it's probably not going to happen yeah

476

that's going to be difficult that's going to be too hard

477

to do that's going to be too difficult uh it's we're probably not going to want to do it

478

or we're probably not going to achieve it like it's going to be too hard you're explaining

479

that something is not very important you're explaining that something is not very important Did I say that right?

480

You're explaining that something is not very, not very important.

481

You can say it's not that important.

482

God, it's so simple.

483

It's not that important.

484

It's not that important.

485

Yeah.

486

It's not that big of a deal.

487

Yeah.

488

We use that to like in these kinds of sentences, like it's not that crazy.

489

It's not that good.

490

It's not that bad, you know, to like express the degree okay you're talking about a situation

491

where you expected a better result you can say i thought

492

it would be better than this sometimes this is what happens

493

when i order food

494

and it doesn't turn out the way i i had hoped

495

sometimes it's not as good as i hoped it would be

496

i thought it would be based on the pictures the description

497

so sometimes i'm like i have my food here that i ordered

498

and i'm like i thought it would be better than this

499

like i thought i thought it would be more food i

500

thought it would be bigger um yeah i don't really like

501

this like i wouldn't order it again i thought it'd be

502

better i thought it would be yeah i thought it would

503

be different i didn't really expect it i didn't expect this i didn't expect

504

that it would be like this yeah okay last one you're reacting

505

when someone thanks you you can say no problem at all yeah okay

506

so when someone says thank you to me I usually say my my go -to phrases my phrases

507

that I use the most are of course yeah of course

508

of course like like why would I not like why are

509

you even like of course of course I would do

510

that yeah of course

511

so of course uh anytime yeah of course anytime anytime um yeah absolutely yeah

512

so a lot of times you know we we use you're welcome once in a

513

while sometimes we use it yeah

514

but not like all the time like most of the time we say like yeah of course

515

or no problem yeah no problem no problem yeah yeah of

516

course like that's honestly what i say oh thank you yeah

517

of course no problem of course no problem no problem at all no problem at all yeah no problem

518

or no problem at all same thing all right simple stuff

519

simple stuff i think next time i'm gonna have to do c1 stuff

520

because i think b2 sometimes it's a little bit too simple you know it's a little too simple

521

but let me know in the comments let me know

522

if you listen to my last video the learn english

523

while you sleep video with the c1 phrases

524

and then you listen to this video and tell me like

525

which level you prefer like did you prefer this the the b2 ones in this video

526

or the c1 ones in last video maybe you didn't see the last video

527

but maybe you watch this video and you think it's a little too easy

528

and you want something more challenging let me know

529

so let me know in the comments like how you feel with the phrases in this video

530

if you think it was like too easy

531

or you want more stuff exactly like this you it was perfect level for you

532

or you want um harder stuff

533

or easier stuff maybe it was too hard i don't know

534

like just tell me um i don't think it was too hard

535

but for for most of you but

536

but just let me know how you feel about this level

537

and these kinds of things i thought it was it was quite simple

538

but like i said even though i think most of you understand all this

539

or most of this you probably are not practicing saying these phrases these sentences you're probably not practicing speaking

540

and saying saying these things you're not practicing this like in

541

conversation you know imagining yourself in a conversation using these

542

and even if you have said these before or even

543

if you know this stuff it's still always good to just practice speaking a language

544

that you're you're trying to be fluent in

545

because the more you speak it the more natural it will

546

feel in your mouth it'll be easier to say these sounds and faster

547

and you can practice you can focus on like pronouncing it

548

more clearly there are always components to work on I think like

549

when I'm speaking Spanish I think it helps me even

550

if everything that I'm saying is all stuff

551

that I've said before a million times I think it still helps me Thank you.

552

to speak Spanish like even if I'm saying simple stuff simply

553

because it's it's having it's it's keeping my mouth in the mode of speaking Spanish

554

so that I'm like more ready I'm ready for

555

when for whatever situation that comes where I want to speak it

556

because when I don't speak it for a little

557

while like even a week I feel like a little rusty

558

so it's good to keep that regular maintenance and

559

if you like this video I can continue making videos like this

560

and we can just keep practicing our speaking together thank you

561

for watching it to the end I love you guys you

562

guys are my favorites go ahead tell the others I don't care tell them you're my favorite

563

and have a wonderful day see you next video see you next time bye

Who Is This Video For?

This video is ideal for upper-intermediate (B2 level) English learners focused on language learning through real-world practice. If your goal is to speak more like a native—using phrases that feel natural in daily or professional settings—this 30-minute session is a perfect fit. It’s designed for those ready to move beyond basic sentences and into context-driven communication, with a strong emphasis on speaking practice that mirrors how native speakers actually talk.

Words & Idioms Worth Stealing

The video highlights practical, high-frequency expressions that native speakers use regularly. Standouts include:

"Coworker": A casual, commonly used term for a colleague (more conversational than "colleague" in many contexts).
"In the long run": A phrase meaning "over time" or "in the long term"—useful for discussing future outcomes, as in "I’m not sure that’s going to work in the long run."
"Work out" (phrasal verb): A flexible term meaning "succeed" or "resolve," as in "I’m not sure that’s going to work out." Native speakers often prefer phrasal verbs for their natural flow.

These phrases are "stealable" because they fit seamlessly into work, friend, or daily conversations, making your speech sound more authentic.

How to Get the Accent Right

To master the pronunciation and flow of the phrases, try the shadowing technique: repeat the speaker’s words immediately after they finish, mimicking their tone, stress, and rhythm. Notice how "gonna" (instead of "going to") is used in casual speech—even in professional settings, this contraction sounds natural. Pay attention to the stress in "in the long run" (emphasize "long") and the soft "t" in "work out" (often pronounced like a "d" in fast speech). Practice pausing where the speaker pauses to match natural conversational pacing. This focus on pronunciation practice will help you sound more fluent and confident when using these phrases in real life.

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.
