Hey, it has definitely been a hot minute since we have caught up.

I have tried to film this video for months, but I just like wasn't in the right emotional state to share anything about my life

because there's been a lot of change.

I think the big and obvious one is that Ben and I broke up.

It feels really weird to say that out loud.

After being online for, I don't even know how many years, like 13 years, I have some pretty bright lines of what I like to share about my life and what I don't.

And usually my rule of thumb is I don't talk about anything online unless I have 100% have healed from it.

but this situation is different because I am like still like actively going through it

and I feel like I will for some time.

I gotta say I'm in like a much better place now

but it's still like it still makes me really emotional talking about it.

The decision to break up was a loving one like I

was with Ben for it would have been 10 years this year

and there's like still

so much love for him there always will be he's like

he's family he's the father of our son we've shared like

so many pivotal life moments together you know

and i think instead of just like wallowing in the fact

that it's over i'm choosing to like celebrate

that we got to experience it this break was unlike any other one i've ever been through

because even though we were separated i still see him every day

because we show up for our son and we're on the same team

and we're always gonna have each other's Like there's no sides to choose

because we're one unified force together I'm really proud of us

because we have established a really good rhythm with co-parenting We have a schedule

but honestly in the end our relationship is will always be the trunk of our family

and our priority will always be our son and

so Maintaining a level of love and mutual respect is just like it will always be up there

This chapter in my life has been disorienting.

I feel like that's like the best word to describe it.

I have like two dominant moods.

When I'm feeling good, I literally feel like I'm floating.

Floating to new territories, new waters.

It's exhilarating because everything feels so novel.

But then on the flip side, when I'm feeling down, it feels like I am just free falling out of a plane with no parachute on my back.

And I think the thing that really angers me is my son.

Like he really grounds me.

One of my favorite things that we do together is blowing bubbles after dinner time.

We have made it a daily ritual.

This is an activity that I know that we can just get lost in.

Blowing bubbles is actually quite meditative.

Like when I am blowing the bubbles, I am there.

I am in the flow with him.

and I feel like the bubbles are symbolic with the emotions that I'm feeling, even my thoughts.

Because I never know what thoughts will bubble and float into my mind.

Each one is always a different shape, a different mood.

And no matter how large or small or intricate the bubble, in the end, they always pop, they disappear.

So Lennon is almost three years old and when I look at him, I feel so much, like so much emotions.

I sob a lot and they're happy tears, they're sad tears, and I think,

you know, to any average person he might just look like a curious, lively toddler, but when I see him, he encapsulates all these different time frames.

I can't change anything that happened in the past

and I'm kinda helpless with what's gonna happen in the future or what's not gonna happen,

but like what I can do in that present moment is giving my full undivided attention and just relish in it.

I am still trying to find a good balance of sharing that I'm a mom, but also protecting my son's privacy.

It's like a thin line, you know?

Like he is a central part of my life, but I don't feel comfortable sharing too much of his stuff.

Like I'm trying to like reduce his digital footprint.

Then I just end up not sharing him at all for a period of time.

And then I start getting these like comments that I am a bad mother or like, where's your kid?

Jen hates being a mom, which could not be further from the truth.

It's like kind of crazy that I actually even have to address this.

Anyone in my life knows how much I participate and show up in my son's life.

And oh my gosh, I actually feel myself getting a little defensive.

What the heck, Jen?

No, I honestly think it's because, you know, being online for so long,

you're used to getting a barrage of like negative comments but like once you get a negative comment enough, you just become numb to it.

But this like being under fire from being a bad parent is just new for me.

So I think I'm just getting used to it.

But yeah, I just wanted to make it clear that I love being his mom.

I love being a mom.

It's an extremely important role and job.

Like it is my number one job.

Like I wanna make sure that I'm trying my best and that's all I can do.

Like if anything, I'm just trying to navigate

what I choose to share about my son's life

and like what to keep private

when i was in my 20s i had no issue with

recording all parts of my life anything was fair game

but i'm realizing maybe it was

because life was a lot more simpler back then i was

just hanging out getting dolled up to go to an event

or whatever uh but you know as you get older life becomes a little bit more complex

and layered and some Some things are just impossible to package in a simple, cheery, positive way.

And sometimes it's just best to keep things offline, even the euphoric moments.

That way you can just like actually really, really enjoy it.

I am single now, which is kind of crazy.

I think the simplest way to put it is I am adjusting to this because when you're in a long-term relationship,

it's so easy to slip into the grooves of monogamy a lot of your choice is dependent on your partner.

Not because it's a control issue, but it's just, you know, you're just like, you automatically know who you're plus one, like who you're taking to the party, what your weekend plans are,

because if you have a kid, those weekends are definitely, you gotta pack in some date night because you just need some time as a couple.

It just feels weird and empty at times.

But I'm trying to romanticize it.

I'm in this fresh territory where the decisions that I make are ones that only require my own input.

And now when I have my alone time, I'm really alone, like alone bolded.

I am just searching for a new version of me.

And I'm like slowly discovering this on my healing journey.

I am hanging out so much with my family and my friends.

I'm just like leaning the out of my support system.

In April, I went to Korea with my mom.

100

We did like our annual trip.

101

This time was a little bit different

102

because I went to Seoul on my own for a couple of days

103

and I just met up with friends to connect and decompress.

104

I stayed with Joan for a few days, which was so fun.

105

It was like fun playing roommates.

106

And then afterwards, I stayed at a hotel for a few days with my friend Christina.

107

Then afterwards, I went to the countryside

108

to meet up with my mom and my aunt and my uncles

109

and it was just so incredibly healing to be on my uncle's farm.

110

Like that is heaven to me.

111

It's just like you have like shitty wifi

112

but you're just surrounded in nature and just like I just love the simplicity of the Korean countryside.

113

Every time I'm there I feel like a kid.

114

I feel like especially when you have your own kid, you're always like used to making like executive choices and like doing stuff for the family but when I was in Korea,

115

I could just be the baby girl again every day i

116

didn't know what the plan was i just looked to my

117

email being like what are we eating what are we doing

118

just tell me the plan i'm just gonna slip into the

119

itinerary it felt really nice to just feel cared for

120

and it was just like my time there is always invaluable i'm also in the process of of redecorating my house.

121

This is like a project that I have been delaying for a long time.

122

I'm setting up Lennon's new room.

123

This time I'm like going balls to the wall with my decor.

124

I'm like treating my house as if I'm on Animal Crossing.

125

Like I'm like yes to the wallpaper, yes to the paint, yes to the lime wash, yes to the interesting furnishings.

126

Like I find that part pretty empowering.

127

This year I feel like there's like a part of me that has been awakened.

128

That sounds like so mystical, it's been awakened.

129

No, but it's scary, but it's also really electrifying to feel alive, if that makes sense.

130

I feel like I'm meeting so many new people and reconnecting with my old friends and leaning on them.

131

And at first I was kind of skeptical, like why are people here for me?

132

But that, you know, I think I was bumping into my own like self-loathing side of me.

133

And I'm like really starting to understand the concept of to not question the good in your life.

134

Never ever question the good in your life.

135

Just accept it and be goddamn grateful.

136

Despite all the change going on, I still love life.

137

It's not polished, there's no manicured conclusion, it's always TBD and that's completely okay.

138

I hope that watching this made you feel a little less alone or I don't know, a little more at ease.

139

In case you were in that odd headspace thinking that everyone has it figured out, no. That is a bold-faced lie.

140

No one knows what the is happening.

141

No one knows what they're doing.

142

We're all equally clueless.

143

We don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, you know?

144

Is it even guaranteed?

145

I don't know.

146

So if anything, you just gotta live your life to the fullest as if it's the last freaking day.

147

And if this is my last day, then I am really happy that I was able to finally dump this out and share and hopefully connect.

148

You guys have definitely been a big anchor in my life too.

149

This is like the longest relationship.

150

If I think about it, this relationship with you guys is my longest relationship I've had.

151

And I am so incredibly grateful for each

152

and every one of you whether you have been supporting me since 2010

153

or if you just clicked on this video being like, what the is going on?

154

You know, I really am.

155

And yeah, I, like honestly, it feels really good to be back and I will see you guys in the next video.

156

Bye.

FOR YOU

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？

通過這段影片練習口語是一個很好的選擇，因為它不僅反映了真實的情感狀態，還展示了面對生活變化時的自我表達能力。影片中的講述者分享了與前伴侶分手後的感受，這種情境給學習者提供了豐富的語言環境來進行shadow speak。通過模仿她的語調和情感表達，學習者可以提高自己的口語流利度和自信。

此外，影片中涉及到的共同撫養和家庭生活的語境，讓學習者能夠學習到更為細膩和真實的交流方式。通過進行shadow speech，學習者可以練習如何以更加自然的方式表達自己的感受和想法，這對提升口語能力十分有用。

語法與表達在語境中的應用

過去完成時: 在講述與伴侶的回憶時，影片中使用了大量的過去完成時結構，如“我和Ben在一起已經快十年了”，幫助學習者理解如何在英語中描述過去的經歷。
對比和轉變: 講述者提到了“當我感覺好的時候”和“另一方面”，這種對比結構能幫助學習者有效地表達不同情感之間的轉變，這是日常對話中的常用技巧。
情感表達: 影片中使用了許多表達情感的形容詞，如“迷失”（disorienting）和“自豪”（proud），這些詞能讓學習者在描述自己感受時更為生動。

通過將這些表達融入自己的口語練習中，學習者可以更熟練地應用英語進行情感交流。

常見發音陷阱

在此影片中，有幾個詞彙的發音可能會對學習者造成挑戰，尤其是言辭間流暢度所需的連貫性。例如：

“emotional” 這個詞中的母音發音需要特別注意，口音的不同會導致發音的變化。
“toddler” 在快速對話中容易被簡化，造成不清晰的發音，學習者可以通過重複練習來克服這一問題。
此外，講述者使用的連讀現象，如“gonna”和“wanna”，在日常對話中極為常見，學習者可以通過shadowspeaks練習這種自然流暢的方式。

通過專注於這些發音的細節，學習者可以提高自己的口語清晰度，並在與他人交流時增強自信心。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作	has been disorienting · have been delaying · have been supporting
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	has definitely been · have tried · there's been
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	were separated · has been awakened · been awakened
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	now, which is · days, which was

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
