Hello my name is Sanna Vaara. I live in the far north of Finland in an old farmhouse in a small countryside village of 25 people I create photographs videos

and music inspired by this wild Nordic nature I get to live surrounded with in this video I will share you my story of how I chose to live this simple life in the north of Finland this is

a rather personal story and I do feel a bit scared sharing this with you but I hope so much some of you might resonate even recognize yourselves in my story and find peace inspiration or courage

to fulfill a life that looks like you and not a life that you are expected to have

I was living in a city in southern Finland and was studying my dream career in the university I loved the studying and did great in that but I didn't quite fit in

the life in the city the city environment and the working places felt too much for me I felt extremely overwhelmed in very normal situations

I started to feel unwell and get pain in the chest and the heart the doctors said it was depression and anxiety and handed me with some pills to get over it I tried to get into nature as often as

I could since I felt that only in there I felt the pain go away but this was mostly on weekends the weeks were the toughest to bear and short periods in nature didn't balance the stress out

during this time I traveled a lot basically I spent spent all the money I was earning to travel far away traveling was my getaway from everything from the work from the city

life probably from my confused lost myself too I felt I was searching for something I thought at the time it was experiences new cultures and new people I thought I would find something the

further I went I was running away from myself and from the fact that this life was not for me and no amount of traveling could satisfy me I was trying to fit myself into a shape I thought I

was expected from me a great looking life in the city working in a good job and traveling as a hobby trying to fit myself into a life that was not for me made me physically sick

I struggled in this life for years and just kept feeling worse eventually I had a spontaneous idea to leave my job my family and friends and move alone to a small cabin

to far north of Finland in Lapland to a place I had never been before

this happened in the whim of the moment and my friends and family couldn't quite figure why I was doing this I couldn't figure it myself either but went for it

it happened so fast I didn't quite even realize it until I was alone in the North

I quickly learned that things in the north are tough no more easy city apartment life with center heating and plowed sidewalks no more supermarkets in every corner and handymen you can

give a call to fix everything everyday life got harder I didn't know anyone in the whole north of land and had always been quite bad at meeting new people or asking for help

I had to learn a lot of things fast and mostly by myself in the north the summers are very short most of the year it is snowy and very dark in the heart of the

winter the sun doesn't rise at all making winter seem like an endless night

I didn't expect I would fall in love with the hard conditions I started to forget

the anxiety while working physically maintaining the cabin plowing snow and spending endless hours adventuring outside in nature that was now everywhere around me

I also didn't expect that I would get something bigger in exchange for that hardness I found a total new side of me all my life I had been told I was shy and timid and way too dramatic

with my feelings spending a lot of time alone I realized I am just highly sensitive and suddenly the world made so much sense again situations especially in city and work life that felt

normal to everyone else had felt overwhelming to me because I felt them so differently I saw, heard and sensed everything at the same time and life in the city was just too much for me

and eventually made me sick

in the vast nature of North I found my creativity

something I had had when I was a child but thought it was a thing that belonged only to childhood

without anyone around to give me advice judge or disapprove my ideas I found a total freedom to express myself I started to write about nature around me and my life in it in a blog I started

I started to photograph everything I thought was beautiful around me eventually having photography exhibitions and starting my own web shop to sell prints of my photos

I started to film these videos being a quiet person always struggling to be heard in the noisy world I had found

my voice and a channel that I was heard in and I could get my creativity thrive

I also found out I am not shy or timid in the north I found friends that became so close that eventually we started to call ourselves the Lapland Family we share the

same interests and same values and had found something in the vast nature of the north in here we have to overcome the same challenges the same

hard conditions and that brings us together

I also found my soulmate my best friend the love of my life from here in the middle of nowhere where more reindeers live than actual human beings with him I started to feel myself again with all

my dramatic emotions overwhelming feelings and weirdness I didn't know until I met him that there could be another soul liking this Nordic nature and its harsh arctic conditions as much as I do

with him we bought the house of my and his dreams and are getting married next summer with him we

share a mutual understanding to a simpler life and can finally live like we want to

I have felt rootless my entire life I now realize with all the traveling and trying to fit in that I was searching for my roots a place and a life to belong to

but what I didn't read realizes that roots are alive and you can grow them I thought my roots belonged to a place I was born into a life that was similar to others I am forever grateful I

had the momentary courage to choose to take my roots with me to a new place and start to grow them here to clean the space for them since they need a simple ground to thrive in

I have found my way back to the simplest things back to nature and back to my creativity

I do not want to give you a false impression I still need to work I still need to do laundry go to the grocery store and put myself in situations that feel overwhelming

and too much for me I still get anxious and stressed at times but now I have so much space

and silence around me that they are in balance together I understand that I need all the space and time for my physical and mental health so that I can function in this world I can work

less now I get less money but here in the middle of nowhere I have less things to consume it in

in exchange I get more time I have time to feel all my dramatic feelings to go through the overwhelming situations in peace I have nature around that helps me to feel rooted

and stable in all situations I have the right people around me who know me all sides of me

and help me with my struggles because none of us can make it alone

I chose this simple life in the north to heal myself to find myself and to feel like myself again none of it happened overnight and most of it didn't happen consciously I know that the

phrase to listen to yourself is overused but it may be so for a good reason I don't think spontaneous ideas dreams and thoughts come from a void but from some wise voice inside of us that is

trying to tell us what we actually need to thrive that voice might be worth listening to

this is my story of why I chose this simple life this may not be the story of your life but I really hope this gives you ideas and inspiration to listen to

that voice of your wise inner self that could lead you to the beginning of your story

練習技巧

在觀賞影片時，建議您採用shadow speak的方式進行練習。這意味著您可以在聽到Sanna的講話時，重複她的每句話。儘量模仿她的語調和速度，這樣可以幫助您提高英語發音，獲得更自然的表達能力。同時，注意Sanna在敘述故事時的情感變化，適時調整您的語調和節奏，以更好地傳達您的理解和感受。

為確保您不被音樂或背景干擾，您可以選擇使用耳機，這樣可以讓您更加專注於語言的細微差別和語境中的關鍵詞彙。觀看影片時，可以使用看YouTube學英語的方式，找到Sanna所提到的情境，思考您自己是否有類似的經歷，從而更好地與她的故事聯絡起來。

通過不斷的實踐，您將能夠更順利地在不同的社交環境中使用英語，提升自信心，最終實現個人的語言目標。記住，提高手語音的過程中，慢慢來，不必急於求成，享受這個學習的過程。將shadowspeaks融入您的日常練習，有助於您鞏固所學的內容。

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
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	are expected · was expected · had been told
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	have felt · have found
過去進行時 was/were + -ing — 過去某一時刻正在進行的動作	was living · was earning · was searching
用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事	might resonate · may be · might be

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。
