Hello everyone and welcome back to English Cozy Chat,

a slow English podcast which helps you to learn English in a fun and natural way.

I am Maria and before we get started with today's episode,

I have to tell you about my cozy drink.

Ta-da!

I just got a new coffee maker because my old one broke.

It had actually been broken for a long time and it wasn't working right,

but it was still producing coffee.

and I was still kind of okay with it

but my mother-in-law came to visit the mother of my husband

and she said this coffee maker has to go please let me buy you a new coffee maker So I did.

And we went to the store and bought a coffee maker that has a cold brew function.

Now, cold brew is another word for iced coffee. and I thought

that iced coffee was simply just coffee over ice as in

you can just take a hot coffee pour it over ice

and there you go it's iced coffee right but no that's not true cold brew

is actually brewed slower and somehow in a different way.

Obviously it's not brewed with hot water and it takes about five minutes for my coffee maker to brew this cold brew.

And then I add ice and it is a super nice, refreshing drink, which is perfect for the summer.

Cheers, guys.

As you guys know, I love hobbies and I love learning new things.

So I'm really excited to tell you all today about a kind of new hobby that I have started.

I have young kids and they like to paint.

And for a long time, I was just setting the materials up for them to paint.

and they would be painting at the table while I did work or work around the house or other things like that.

For me, it was nice that they had something to do

and were playing to give me some time to do other things.

But just recently, I have started sitting down and painting with them because I thought,

hey, why not?

This kind of looks fun.

And since they do it so much, why don't I try to do it too

and maybe that's fun right plus they really like it

when I sit down and actually paint or draw with them

so I started doing that and I realized I was really having a good time with it.

It's actually really fun when you paint and something comes out a lot nicer than you even expected it to.

So since it is the summer I do have a little bit more time.

And whenever we were recently in a store,

we have a store near where I live that has lots of things for a very low price.

It is very cheap, but they have a lot of art supplies.

They have lots of pencils,

markers, paint, paint supplies, and everything like that.

So the last time I went there,

I thought I'm gonna buy some different paint supplies just to try to do some new art projects for the summer.

So I bought some different kinds of paint.

I also bought some canvases,

some plain white canvases, which are good to paint on and to hang on the wall.

and I thought, hey, why don't we just have some fun with this?

So we came home.

I got on YouTube.

Guys, I love YouTube.

I love YouTube because you can find everything that you would want about whatever topic it is that you're looking for.

So I looked up kids painting tutorials or easy painting tutorials

and there are so many that show you how to paint correctly

and how to paint different kinds of pictures and things like that.

So we were able to learn from these videos.

the real correct way how to paint.

Whenever I was little, I never really knew the correct way to paint.

I always just took paint and put it on the paper and that was it.

But there's a lot more to it than that.

And so one of those videos showed how to paint a

rainbow tree or a colorful tree with acrylic paint

and the way you do it is drip the paint on the paper in dots

and then you kind of blend the colors together for the leaves which makes a pretty rainbow tree.

So are you ready to see the rainbow tree that I painted?

I moved my artwork over there so that my iced coffee wouldn't spill all over them.

I'm actually going to move my coffee.

here it is so you just draw the tree in black

and as you see we did drops of paint all around the tree in different colors

and then I just took a brush around flat brush

and like blended it together and I think it came out really pretty.

See then I drew some grass some little flowers there's my tree and the sky all around.

I love drawing and painting suns so that was exciting and then just some birds.

This one was really fun because it was fun picking out the colors of the tree

and actually doing this little blending exercise.

Plus I just really liked adding all of the details

and then when I was done I was like hey I really like this.

This was just done on regular paper and I have to think of how to frame.

I would like to frame it but it kind of pops up from the paper

see it's like shiny but that's kind of cool

and I have to find a frame that is good for it

but anyway I'm really proud of this one you guys do you want to see what my kids made

so here's my kids trees

this one she told me it's important

that you see the branches she really wanted all of her

branches to be seen she also she did her grass first she gave me the idea to do the grass

and then the sky and the sun

and then she added some birds after she saw mine and this one also added a rainbow

and wanted to do more red paint.

What do you think guys?

Do you like these trees?

So this was the first art piece that really kind of got me excited.

I was like oh this is fun and I like my tree that I made.

How cool is that right?

And then we didn't do anything else for like a week or two maybe.

So then after we did the tree projects they wanted to paint on these canvases.

These are the canvases that I bought.

These were really cheap.

This is just a surface

to paint on and these have a frame built in and I was surprised at how cheap these were.

100

So I bought several of them and let me show you what they did.

101

One of them drew this, said it is called

102

the beach and I thought it was really interesting how she did the water

103

and right here where the water meets the sand she was painting along

104

that line and it started blurring a little bit with the blue

105

and I said oh be careful it's smearing when colors smear that means they rub together I said,

106

careful, the yellow is smearing with the blue.

107

And she said, that's okay, because water splashes.

108

And it does kind of look like it's splashing, doesn't it?

109

I was like, this is actually really beautiful.

110

Looks like modern art.

111

I really like this one.

112

and then another one is this one a watermelon in the sea with some fish

113

and the beach this was also something

114

that we learned how to paint on YouTube the watermelon

115

and then I was inspired to also do a canvas as well so are you ready to see my canvas project

116

Ta-da!

117

This was yet inspired by another YouTube tutorial,

118

which was about an artist that I don't remember her name,

119

but she always did paintings with three lines.

120

This is the horizon, the mountains,

121

and the sun and she did this in all different kinds of ways with different colors

122

and I did this and I just really like it.

123

I don't know why I was really proud because I blended the blue

124

and the green to make this pretty turquoise color and I think it kind of looks like the sea.

125

I really want to hang this one up another cool one that my kids did is this one it is a

126

sunset and a palm tree I thought

127

that was really good afterwards she said no no I need to add birds

128

and she went back added some birds with a pencil but I thought these were all really fun

129

to do and actually ended up pretty cool.

130

So it really makes me think, you know, these things that kids do, they're actually really fun for adults as well.

131

I have not painted since I was a little kid or maybe an art class when I was a teenager,

132

but I've never really thought about

133

doing it until now but it really does feel so good

134

and fun to do something creative

135

and to have something beautiful afterwards it's also very relaxing to paint

136

and to sit there and think about what you're going to do.

137

And it's just really soothing to just sit there in quiet and just paint.

138

And then the other night, I was thinking, I really want a book to read.

139

Like, I needed a new book to look at before bed, or to read before bed.

140

And I didn't have one.

141

So I decided to grab this book.

142

This is a book from the library where we live.

143

It is in Catalan.

144

But it says, tu también puedes ser un artista, which means you also can be an artist.

145

I got this for my kids.

146

And it's really interesting because it talks about different artists,

147

what they did, and how you can also do a similar kind of art at home,

148

like this one.

149

What I really like about reading this book is

150

that usually before bed I don't like reading in other languages that is not English.

151

I like reading in English before bed

152

because I don't have to think as much

153

but what I like about reading a book that's kind of for kids is

154

there's pictures so you can read it's easier to read

155

and plus there are pictures to look at

156

which makes it all easier to understand so I thought

157

that was kind of a fun piece of advice for you guys

158

if you can get your hands on English books for kids then

159

that might be really interesting to you to just practice reading because it is written in an easier way.

160

There's pictures and they're usually shorter.

161

So what do you think you guys?

162

Do you like my new hobby?

163

Do you think it's cool?

164

Is painting something that you like to do or something that you would like to start doing?

165

or do you have any new cool hobbies?

166

Let me know in the comments.

167

Thank you all so much for watching.

168

I hope you have a wonderful day and I cannot wait to see you in the next episode.

169

Bye!

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。
