Hi everyone, welcome back.

Chào mọi người, chào mừng các bạn đã quay trở lại.

I missed you.

Tôi đã nhớ bạn.

Today we are going to do a little bit of a fun video.

Hôm nay chúng ta sẽ làm một video khá thú vị đấy.

I'm excited.

Tôi rất phấn khích.

I'm excited.

I'm gonna show you guys some pictures, some pictures from my past.

Tôi sẽ cho các bạn xem một vài bức ảnh, những bức ảnh từ quá khứ của tôi.

Now, I am not a person who takes pictures very often and when I do, I don't save most of them.

Bây giờ, tôi không phải là người thường xuyên chụp ảnh, và mỗi khi chụp thì tôi cũng không lưu lại phần lớn các bức ảnh đó.

Like I am the type of person who if I get some food that looks really amazing at a restaurant, I might take a picture of it, but I most of the time don't save that picture.

Tôi là kiểu người mà nếu có một món ăn trông thật hấp dẫn ở nhà hàng, tôi có thể sẽ chụp ảnh nó, nhưng phần lớn thời gian tôi lại không lưu lại bức ảnh đó.

And yeah, generally, like most of the pictures I take are, you know, some funny random thing that I see.

I don't keep it.

So I have a very, very small collection of pictures that I keep.

And I have traveled to many different countries.

I've had a lot of different cool experiences, but I have very little pictures to show for it.

Do I regret it?

Not really.

I'm not, I'm just, I've never really been a picture person.

A funny thing about me is that once when I was a kid,

it was Christmas and my mom was telling people ideas for Christmas gifts they could give me.

And now I had never told my mom that I wanted a camera.

At least I don't think I did.

And my mom, she wanted a camera.

And so she told my stepmom to get me a camera.

I mean, she said you could get her a camera for Christmas.

You want to get her something, get her a camera.

And then my mom also bought me a camera.

She must have not thought that my stepmom was really going to get me one.

So my stepmom bought me a camera and my mom bought me a camera.

And so my stepmom took me back to the store to return it and ended up buying me something else.

I think some winter boots, but she was a little irritated with my mom, like as I would be too.

Like my mom was like that.

She was like just kind of mentally scatterbrained

and not really scatterbrained is like thinking about a million different things and kind of all over the place, not very organized.

Yeah.

She didn't really think about it much.

So she's like, yeah, you can get her a camera.

And then she goes and gives me a camera.

That's like a perfect example of my mom.

Remember she wanted a camera.

I didn't even want a camera.

Not only did I get two cameras, I didn't even want a camera.

So I ended up giving the camera that my mom bought me back to my mom.

It's just my mom really bought a camera for herself, basically.

So yeah, can you believe it?

I got two cameras when I was a kid and I didn't want either one of them.

I didn't really care.

I never really cared about cameras and pictures.

And the only reason I have this camera is because I'm a YouTuber and I needed a camera.

I only use it for my YouTube videos.

I never take it out and use it for pictures.

I just don't care about pictures.

I really don't.

I will take pictures on my phone.

I mean, the quality nowadays of the phone is really good, but I just, I really don't care much about pictures yeah my mom was

somebody who would take a million she took a million photos of me

when i was a baby

when i was a kid there are tons of photo albums

of those pictures that's not what i'm showing you today i don't have access to that stuff

that stuff is back in the us what i'm going to

show you is a little bit of my photo collection not everything

but just just some of my favorite pictures some of the pictures

that i liked enough to keep in my very small collection

yeah so here they are just some random pictures

and i'm going to tell you about them i'm going to talk about them

and through this

and through all of my speaking videos all of my talking videos you can practice listening practice speaking

because you can pause and you can imitate me

and you can learn some words

and phrases anyways i'm gonna show you the pictures okay so let's pull Pull them up here.

All right.

So this first one I want to show you is me standing in the kitchen of my stepdad's house or apartment.

He used to have this place for a few years.

Well, he had it up until like a year ago or something.

And then he moved in with his girlfriend and he doesn't live there anymore.

But this is where he used to live.

And this is where I would stay in the past few years.

Anytime I wanted to stay with him, I stayed at this place.

So sometimes I go visit my family like in the summertime.

And so a couple times I went and stayed at this little house.

And here I am at, I think it was like four in the morning, maybe four in the morning.

I had gone to bed at 2 a.m.

I slept two hours and I had to wake up at 4, 4.30 because I had to go to the airport because I had a full day of flights to Oaxaca, Mexico.

So I was flying from Massachusetts, United States to Oaxaca, Mexico, and I had layovers and stuff.

So a full day of flying and my flight was super early from Boston airport.

So I had to wake up at like 4 30, but you know me, I go to bed late and I couldn't go to bed early because I wasn't tired.

So I ended up sleeping two hours here.

I was on, I was on two hours of sleep standing in the kitchen, but I was excited.

I was excited because this was after spending like three months.

I spent like three months in the United States visiting family.

This was the first time I came back to the U.S after living in Ecuador for five and a half years.

So I came back.

This was 2023.

I spent the whole summer of 2023 in the U.S.

And this was me leaving at the end of the summer, well, in September, going to Mexico.

And it was my first time going to Mexico.

And it was just, I was excited.

I was on two hours of sleep.

I was delirious.

I felt like crap, but I was excited.

I had just gotten my new backpacking backpack.

100

You can see it's, I'm not even wearing it correctly.

101

You're supposed to tie the straps around your waist.

102

There's like a buckle, a buckle around your waist.

103

You're supposed to, you know, latch the buckle and tighten it.

104

And so that the bag sits like on top of your waist or your butt.

105

And so it's supposed to be like getting the weight off of your shoulders and kind of lift it up.

106

I didn't realize that.

107

I didn't figure that out.

108

And so it's not buckled.

109

And it's just like, I'm just all the weight is like hanging on my shoulders.

110

So it's like heavy.

111

It's like slouching down.

112

Yeah.

113

I figured that out later that I could buckle it and make it lighter.

114

I was new to wearing this kind of a backpack.

115

I didn't really know about it.

116

Nowadays, I don't use this kind of a backpack anymore because I travel in different climates.

117

I need like cold climate clothes, warm climate clothes, and I just have more clothes than I had back then.

118

Back then I could fit all of my stuff in this backpack, these two backpacks, but now I still have that pink backpack that's in the front,

119

but I traded the big one in the back for a suitcase.

120

So I now have a big blue suitcase.

121

I fill that thing to the brim.

122

To the brim is like to the top.

123

I fill that to the brim.

124

I fill that Sometimes I can barely even close it.

125

So I have a lot more stuff.

126

But remember, that's all of my stuff.

127

Think about everything you own, all of your clothes in your clothes, all of your stuff in your room.

128

Think about all that in a suitcase.

129

Yeah, good luck.

130

So compared to some people, I am still quite minimalist.

131

But compared to people who travel with just a little backpack, I guess not.

132

When you need pants and jackets and sweatshirts and everything because it's cold some places, you need more space.

133

I couldn't live out of this backpack anymore.

134

And it was really annoying because if you wanted to get something out, you had to reach all the way down to the bottom.

135

So you had to pull everything out, basically.

136

The suitcase is a lot easier to access things, but also just has more space.

137

And I don't have to carry it.

138

I can just wheel it.

139

I can wheel it because it has wheels.

140

So I can wheel my suitcase like a verb wheel.

141

So here I am in the kitchen.

142

My stepdad always would wake up at 430 every day for work.

143

Why?

144

Because he's crazy.

145

You know, he has to get up for work anyways.

146

He works for the town.

147

He has a town job.

148

So he does like landscaping and stuff for the town outside.

149

In the winter, he does like plowing and stuff, plows the snow, like with a plow truck, you know, pushing all the snow,

150

clearing the roads with the plow truck, clearing the snow, moving it.

151

So he does stuff like that.

152

He mow like public lands and things.

153

So mow like lawn mowing, you know, cutting the grass with a machine, mowing the lawn.

154

So he does stuff like that.

155

And he doesn't need to wake up at 4.30, but he does because he just likes to

156

take his time in the morning and drink his coffee

157

and relax and not be rushed

158

and i don't know he just likes to have time in the morning he always wakes up at 4 30

159

or early like that

160

so he was used to it he was not tired he

161

goes to bed at like 8 p.m he was fine

162

and he was taking me to the airport i think he took the day off from work

163

that day he took the day off

164

so he was free to take me to the airport

165

and you know it was like saying goodbye after spending all this time together this summer

166

so it was like bittersweet feeling like you know excited

167

but also a little sad you know it's always like that and

168

so here i am just being my my silly self with

169

my stepdad he took a picture of me um right before we went to the airport

170

and yeah i like

171

that picture next picture i want to show you oh this is a really cool picture

172

so this is on the puente colgante this is on the hanging bridge

173

that I talked about in a recent video where I talked about my journey to Ecuador for the first time, my trip that I took back in 2017.

174

I took my first trip outside of the country to Ecuador.

175

I went with a friend and yeah, I ended up living there for years.

176

This picture is from, I think it was the very next day.

177

So the first day in Ecuador was like a travel day, right?

178

I spent the whole day like traveling on the bus

179

and just trying to get to the amazon where i was staying in ecuador

180

and i think the second day the first day in the amazon

181

and the second day in ecuador this picture was taken by

182

my friend i was sitting on this um hanging bridge nowadays

183

the hanging bridge has a railing it has like sides

184

that you know railing like you could put your hands on it you know it has proper sides

185

so you can't fall off the side

186

but as you can see at this time i think there was a railing on on one side of it

187

but on this side of it where i was there was no railing

188

so you could just fall off the side there was nothing to prevent you from falling off the side

189

and here i am sitting on it i have my classic black rubber boots

190

that we would always wear all the time in the amazon

191

because it it rains a lot and it gets muddy in the ground.

192

And I have very minimal clothing on, just a tank top, tank top and some shorts because it was, you know, warm.

193

Not super hot.

194

It was never, this location of the Amazon is high enough elevation that it's not super hot, but it was a little, it was warm and humid, but not too bad.

195

Not like, it gets hotter and more humid in the United States in the summertime.

196

Like this was not that bad.

197

And if you notice my hair is kind of messy.

198

It's knotted.

199

I was starting the process of dreadlocks, dreads.

200

I had those for a couple years and then I ended up cutting them off and growing up my hair.

201

It was just an experience that I was, I was having.

202

I was, I wanted to, to experience that.

203

So I was starting the process of dreadlocks they were like baby dreads

204

so it was it was just kind of messy

205

and not super defined but yeah that's why my hair looks like

206

that and yeah i'm just looking out at the the river

207

and i'm just sitting on the bridge

208

and that's a nice picture special picture all right okay this

209

picture was taken in a different part of the amazon more

210

lower elevation it was taken in the city called Coca

211

or it's also called the official name is Francisco de Orellana, I think.

212

But Coca is what everybody calls it.

213

It is the city in the north of the Amazon part of Ecuador.

214

It is where I went with my with one of my ex-boyfriends and we went to buy a little piece of land, like three hectares there.

215

You will know about this if you watched my video talking about my entire experience in the Amazon in Ecuador.

216

This city, Coca, it has a river that goes all around the city.

217

So this is me just at the edge of the city, just taking a silly picture in front of the river.

218

This is kind of a fun time in my life, a little bit exciting.

219

Like we just bought a piece of land and we were working on it.

220

We were building a farm project.

221

We were starting a farm and well, long story short, we ended up abandoning it and leaving.

222

But yeah, that didn't work out.

223

But it was like a time of my life when I was kind of a little bit delusional, but I was kind of just living off this dream I had, this vision that I had of creating a fruit forest.

224

I don't know.

225

I was just so into it.

226

I was so passionate about it.

227

And I would go out to the farm and work every day.

228

And nowadays, I would not do that.

229

I don't want to live in this place nowadays.

230

But I still love fruit.

231

I still love gardening, but you know, I still love the countryside for some reasons, but yeah, just at this point in my life,

232

it's not, it's not really something I'd want to do that kind of commitment.

233

But anyways, this is what that picture kind of is all about.

234

This is a picture.

235

It's not super great quality, but it was taken by a friend at the beach on the Northern coast of Ecuador.

236

I don't know if you could see, but there are a ton, a ton of these red crabs peeking out of the sand.

237

There were absolutely so many red crabs.

238

It was just full of red crabs.

239

And of course, you know, when you come near them, they hide, they dive down, dive down into the sand and hide.

240

But when you're kind of far away from them, they come out and they peek out and they hang out, like half their bodies inside, half their bodies outside

241

and yeah it just looked really cool I like this picture uh it's really cute

242

and yeah I love the crabs they're so cute okay

243

so this is when we moved to coca

244

and it was a lot hotter there because it was lower elevation

245

and I was doing a lot of farm work

246

and I just got so tired of my heavy dreads my hair

247

that I just cut all of my dreads off

248

and I for the first time in my life had this really short hair I literally just took scissors, took the dreads and just cut them.

249

And so, yeah, my hair was like really short like this for a while.

250

I used to just wear a hat and I used to just wear t-shirts and shorts.

251

And sometimes Ecuadorians would think that I'm a guy, I'm a man.

252

And that was good for me.

253

That was great.

254

The best time in Ecuador was when I looked like a man

255

because then I was not harassed then I was not catcalled and treated like an object, basically.

256

When I looked more feminine in Ecuador, yeah, I was bothered a lot more.

257

When I look more like a man, they kind of just left me alone.

258

That was nice.

259

And so this was a good time.

260

This is a great time.

261

And I really enjoyed having super short hair.

262

It was super easy.

263

Honestly, there's a big part of me that always wants to go back to hair like this.

264

It would just make my life so much easier if I just had short hair like that.

265

I feel like it's just so much more comfortable and enjoyable.

266

But I don't know.

267

I also really like long hair.

268

I always have.

269

I like when men have long hair.

270

I just like long hair.

271

And the longer, the better.

272

I've always been like that.

273

I've always loved long hair on everybody.

274

I like the way long hair looks, but I enjoy the feeling and the practicality of having short hair more so.

275

So this was a great time because I had the short hair

276

and I had a boyfriend my life was just kind of really simple

277

and really easy at this time not

278

because my boyfriend helped me with anything trust me I did more farm work than he did

279

but just because I don't know like I didn't I wasn't thinking about dating

280

and stuff like I just I don't know I just woke

281

up every day living with my boyfriend just kind of like

282

my roommate like my friend I never felt like I was alone uh too alone

283

and then I just did my things I was really passionate about you know doing the farm work and I don't know, living my simple life.

284

I was teaching some English classes online and I was just having a very simple life.

285

You know, I didn't have much money, but I didn't need much money.

286

But now I'm actually more free than I was then in the sense

287

that now I have more money and I can travel more.

288

I'm not so tied down to like one piece of land or one project or one, you know, location, different things, different phases of our lives.

289

Okay, next one.

290

This is a really nice picture

291

that someone took of me in like a nice nature spot a waterfall spot spot near tena in ecuador

292

and then in the amazon tena tena is like a city in the amazon

293

but this is a little bit outside of

294

that i don't know exactly where it's located

295

but i remember we had to walk through nature to get

296

there we had to walk a little ways take a bus

297

and walk and it's just it's really beautiful

298

and my my friend had a professional camera

299

and i just saw this place

300

and i just jumped in i didn't i had no hesitation normally like

301

when the water's cold or whatever i'm like slow to get in it

302

but this one i just jumped right in it was even

303

raining i didn't care i had clothes on i didn't even

304

have like a bathing suit on i had some shorts

305

and a shirt and i just jumped in it

306

and just was like ah this picture was taken

307

and it's a really great picture and i enjoy i it's a it's a nice memory.

308

This is a picture that was taken in a greenhouse.

309

This is a greenhouse at one of the farm projects, one of the community farm projects in the Amazon at the first location where I lived,

310

where I lived with some other foreigners, basically, who were creating a community,

311

a vegan community that was dedicated to growing fruits and food.

312

And this is in the greenhouse house of one of those farms.

313

Here I am with someone who I think still lives there today.

314

This is Charlotte.

315

I think she still lives there.

316

I think she's going to spend her whole life there.

317

I don't know.

318

She's really into it.

319

This is a picture of us just kind of standing there and looking at the lettuce.

320

And I think I have a piece of lettuce in my hand and I'm probably eating it or something.

321

We mostly focused on growing fruits, but they did have some vegetables, as you can see, some some greens and stuff.

322

I like this picture.

323

I got my I got my boots on.

324

I used to wear those boots every day, you know, because it's muddy and stuff.

325

So I got my farm boots on, but but it was warm.

326

So this is how I would dress like the Ecuadorians would wear like pants

327

and long sleeve shirts and hats and they protect themselves from the sun and everything.

328

And they'd cover every inch of their body.

329

I would wear like shorts and tank tops and these boots.

330

This was my my farm outfit.

331

And you could see my hair is in dreads, but it's all tied up.

332

So it's all it's all big and voluminous.

333

I like that picture a lot.

334

This is a picture that I took at my land, at my little cabin on my land.

335

You could see behind me, I have a little bit of a hammock and I have a green post.

336

I painted it green and well, I didn't paint it.

337

I paid people to paint it.

338

And then I have some bananas behind me.

339

I, yeah, I wish I had more pictures.

340

I think I do have another picture.

341

Actually, I had this cute little, it was a tiny, tiny little one bedroom, not even like a bedroom size.

342

It was like, it was like three by three meters or something.

343

It was like a tiny, tiny little, little block of a cabin.

344

It wasn't even, I paid for it to be made, um, by my neighbor.

345

And he said that the cheapest, easiest way to, to make this, you know, long-term would be just to make it out of cement.

346

So I didn't make it out of wood.

347

Uh, I had a little cement cube, uh, made, but I couldn't really afford much at the time.

348

He said this would be cheaper and, and it would like last a bit longer and stuff.

349

Yeah, I didn't really have much money at the time.

350

So I just kind of, I just wanted a little place that I could sleep in

351

and I could lock the door and I could keep like tools and stuff.

352

And so I had this little cabin made.

353

This is me taking a picture of myself after I recently got my ears pierced.

354

I never got my ears pierced my whole life until I was this age.

355

I was there.

356

I was, I think, 23.

357

I got my ears pierced because I saw that the the Kichwa women were, or not just women, the men also,

358

the Kichwa people were selling a lot of like really beautiful earrings.

359

And I saw these earrings and I wanted to wear them, but I didn't have my ears pierced.

360

So I finally decided to get my ears pierced.

361

But I, in this picture, I had recently gotten them pierced and

362

when you get them pierced they are sensitive and they're healing

363

and they have just a tiny little stud earring a stud earring just like a tiny little little earring

364

and you're not supposed to take that out for a while

365

but i was impatient

366

and i really wanted to put on my new earrings my new beautiful earrings

367

that i got from the quichua people and

368

so i kind of forced it too early

369

and my ears weren't fully healed yet i think

370

and it it hurt

371

so in this picture you can see i I have these new earrings on that I'm all excited about, but my ears hurt, my earlobes.

372

And they were a little heavy too, these earrings.

373

So it's kind of weighing down my earlobes.

374

Earlobes is like this little part of your ear.

375

So I was like a little uncomfortable.

376

Like it was kind of a little painful, but I liked them and I, whatever, I, I wanted to take a picture.

377

So anyways, I was really excited about my new earrings, but I kind of jumped the gun a little bit.

378

I jumped the gun.

379

It's like I did it too soon, too impulsive, too fast.

380

I should have waited.

381

Yeah, that's the story of me with these earrings right here.

382

Okay, so this is a picture of me in front of my little house, my little cabin.

383

You can't really see the cabin because I have this blanket with a tiger blocking it, but I just liked the way it looked, the tiger thing.

384

Here I am sitting in a chair in the front.

385

I'm like working on a farm.

386

I'm like probably sweaty and dirty.

387

I am holding up a machete in my hand.

388

I used the machete all the time to work on the farm.

389

I used a machete and a weed whacker.

390

Weed whacker is the machine to cut the weeds, but it was a gas powered weed whacker.

391

But the machete is just a knife.

392

All around you could see I have bananas.

393

I have papayas.

394

I planted all that.

395

At this point, the farm was starting to produce papayas and bananas a little bit.

396

But not really the fruit trees hadn't really started to produce, hadn't really started yet to produce yet.

397

I don't know if you could see, if you look farther under the roof, I had this little like front porch area thing.

398

I had a little stove, gas stove there and very, very basic, very small.

399

I just think this picture is funny and very like psychedelic.

400

It's just, it's just crazy.

401

Like me sitting in front of my little cabin with my fruits growing around with my machete.

402

I just think it's so funny.

403

Yeah, I was probably alone when I took this picture.

404

I was probably alone.

405

I used to stay alone a lot on the farm until I just got

406

so sick of it and just so tired of being alone.

407

And then I left.

408

But for a while, I used to I didn't want to let go of the dream.

409

And I was like, no, I can make it happen.

410

I can I want to grow a farm and then and then more people will come in the future.

411

And but I just couldn't live like that anymore.

412

but it was fun it was fun it was cool

413

while it lasted me the person I am now today I

414

would never want to live like this now it was just it was extremely rustic like I'm fine with nature

415

and countryside but this was just extremely rustic there was not even electricity

416

or running water at this place

417

and I used to go to the city almost every day to use the internet

418

and and to use those things but but I would like come out here

419

and sleep out here and I had like a solar powered

420

little light that would provide a little bit of light in the nighttime for a few hours.

421

It was just extremely rustic and isolated and I was just super alone.

422

And yeah, I just, I wouldn't want to live like that now, but that's what I did.

423

I was a little crazy.

424

This was like when I was like 23, 24, you know, basically from 20 to 24 was when I lived in the Amazon.

425

So yeah, on the farm in the Amazon.

426

And this picture was taken in San Miguel de, no, San Miguel de Bolívar.

427

I think, I think is the name.

428

I'm not sure.

429

But it's basically some random town in the Andes of Ecuador.

430

It's kind of in the center of the country in the Andes.

431

This is where another ex-boyfriend that I was with later on.

432

This was later.

433

This was after I stopped living on the farm and everything.

434

Another guy, another ex, he was, we were traveling and we were in this town.

435

And this is where he started to film videos of me with his professional equipment.

436

He had a professional camera and microphone.

437

But previously, I was just using a very crappy phone and microphone and just really bad quality stuff.

438

So my videos, the content was good, but the quality was not good.

439

And that was definitely impacting my reach.

440

I was making short videos at the time, not long videos.

441

I was making short videos and posting them on like Instagram and TikTok at the time.

442

The content was good, but the quality was bad.

443

So this is when my ex with the good equipment started to film me, started to help me with my videos by filming me and stuff.

444

This is when I started to have success with my videos.

445

Like this is when I started to post videos on Instagram and they started to do really well.

446

They started to get a lot of views and I started to get people DMing me, asking for classes and I was able to raise my prices.

447

And this was even before my YouTube career.

448

This is when I kind of just started to grow this like English teaching business for the first time.

449

Because previously I was an English teacher.

450

I used to do conversation classes on a website called italki, but it was not like my own business.

451

And like students were going through that website to find me.

452

They were not contacting me because they saw my videos.

453

They were contacting me because they were looking for a teacher on

454

that website any teacher so this was the first time

455

that i was able to you know get paid directly

456

and have more control and it was like my own business

457

so i will forever be grateful to this ex who helped me with these videos

458

and he really helped get my channel off the ground like he

459

and then i started posting these videos on youtube short videos

460

and they started to do well and then And then my YouTube channel started to grow.

461

And then that inspired me to make long videos.

462

And so he helped me for a couple months making a bunch of videos.

463

And that really helped to start my career or start my business.

464

And then we went separate ways and we ended up not being in a relationship anymore.

465

And then I just started to make videos by myself.

466

And basically all of my long videos on YouTube, I made by myself with my own equipment.

467

but my ex he helped me with the some of the original short videos

468

that really helped get everything off the ground get the momentum going

469

and then I was able to take it from there

470

and make long videos and then start to grow my YouTube career

471

and everything so so I will forever be grateful to him for his help with that and

472

if it hadn't been for him it probably would have taken

473

me a lot longer yeah to kind of start to make like good quality content

474

and have success and yeah so I'm really really grateful to him for

475

that but yeah but since then like he helped me for a couple months back in 2023

476

and since then I've been completely on my own yeah the

477

past three years I've been making content completely by myself totally

478

independent with no help besides from those people who I had

479

in my videos like conversation videos obviously this you know special

480

guests besides besides the special guests I haven't had any help with my videos I've done it all by myself

481

and I use all my own equipment.

482

I've learned a lot.

483

It still could be better, but I'm fine with the way it is right now.

484

I accept I use the light of outside to film.

485

I sit in front of windows and use the light.

486

Today it's almost sunset, so it's getting dark.

487

So the quality is not that great right now, but most of my videos have decent quality.

488

Obviously it could be better, but it's good enough.

489

Okay.

490

Thanks for watching my video.

491

Thanks for being here.

492

And if you like this video, I have definitely more pictures.

493

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
