I analyzed 120 ,000 words spoken by native English speakers

and it turned out that they don't use the idioms that we learned.

No kill two birds with one stone or once in a blue moon or the ball is in your court.

These are idioms that we were taught at school and these are the idioms you also learned from this channel as well.

Hey guys, welcome to Lingua Marina.

Most of you know me from this channel where we learn English together,

but I also have a second channel called Silicon Valley Girl where I interview founders

and CEOs and a lot of them are native English speakers.

So I went back through about 70 episodes of course with the help of AI.

Together we pulled out every single word my guest said

that gave me about 120 000 words of real unscripted English

and then I went looking for the idioms we all have learned from textbooks and that's when I got this result.

Don't get me wrong they do use idioms of course they do just way fewer than I expected,

and different ones from the ones in the books.

So today we're going to be shadowing my guests.

And if you can keep up with native speakers at their real speed, your English is pretty advanced.

If this is your first shadowing video with me, let me explain very quickly what shadowing means.

Shadowing means you speak at the same time as the speaker.

You hear the words and you say them out loud in that same moment.

And I know it feels super weird for the first time

when i started doing this i couldn't keep up for more than a few seconds

because why would you repeat after someone that's normal your mouth also may have never said these words before

or spoken at that speed so it's normal to stop

and stumble you can stop take a deep breath and start again

so for every sentence we have two steps first you listen to the sentence

and i explain it so you already know what's coming then we play it again

and you shadow it i want you to shadow the whole sentence, not just the phrase, because in real life,

nobody says an idiom on its own.

It always lives inside a sentence.

Okay, let's start.

Our first sentence is from Priscilla Chan.

She's a pediatrician, a children's doctor, and together with her husband, Mark Zuckerberg, she runs the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

The goal is to cure or prevent all disease.

And here she's talking about the immune system.

So there's like a very fine balance in the immune system

that if we understood how that balance gets out of whack in either direction, we could help a lot of people with autoimmune disease.

There's like a very fine balance in the immune system that

if we understood how that balance gets out of whack in either direction, we could help a lot of people with autoimmune disease.

Out of whack, it means not working right, out of balance.

Super casual, super American, and she's a doctor talking about science, And she still says it.

My sleep schedule is out of whack after the flight.

My back is out of whack.

My shoulder is really hurting right now.

Or you can say the numbers are completely out of whack.

And a fine balance.

Fine here doesn't mean good.

It means delicate.

A fine balance is a balance that's easy to break.

Now let's say it with her.

So there's like a very fine balance in the immune system

that if we understood how that balance gets out of whack in either direction, we could help a lot of people with autoimmune disease.

Good.

Next one is from one of my favorite guests, Ryan Roslansky, the CEO of LinkedIn.

We recorded in Davos at the World Economic Forum, and this is about career paths.

There is no such thing as a linear career path.

It's all over the place so the more that people first

and foremost recognize that you have to take your career into your own hands there's no natural path

that exists you just get on it three things in here

take your career into your own hands means stop waiting for

someone else to do it for you your boss your company the system

you do it you can take anything into your own hands

take your health into your own hands take your english into your own hands all over the place

i use this all the time, it means messy, no pattern, everywhere at once.

My notes are all over the place.

First and foremost, it means most importantly, before anything else.

There is no such thing as a linear career path.

Like it's all over the place.

So the more that people first and foremost recognize that you have to take your career into your own hands,

there's no natural path that exists that you just get on.

Number three is from Blake Schall.

He was an engineer at Amazon when Amazon was still small and now he's building a supersonic passenger jet.

His company's called Boom.

Here he's talking about running a huge project at Amazon when he was 24.

I always felt like I was just like an inch from screwing it up enough

that they would fire me and put somebody who actually knew what they were doing in charge of it.

I always felt like I was just like an inch from screwing it up enough

that they would fire me and put somebody who actually knew what they were doing in charge of it.

Screw it up, it means to make a big mistake, to ruin something.

very informal and native speakers use it constantly.

I screwed up, don't screw this up, we screwed up the order.

An inch from.

An inch is about two and a half centimeters.

So it means extremely close to ruining it.

One tiny step away.

And the end of the sentence, somebody who actually knew what they were doing, that's the feeling that everyone has in a new job.

Everybody else knows what they're doing and I'm an inch from screwing it up.

I wanted to hear how he says screwing it up.

Three words, but they come out as one.

Now shadow the whole thing.

I always felt like I was just like an inch from screwing it up enough

that they would fire me and put somebody who actually knew what they were doing in charge of it.

I don't know if you've ever had this problem, but when people tell you just speak more English, do you ever wonder like how with whom?

What do you say when you freeze?

So let me be practical for one minute.

If you understand everything that i'm saying right now

but you still freeze up when you have to speak

or you struggle with fast real world english that's the exact intermediate plateau

so many learners get stuck on

that is why we create our course from intermediate to advanced

100

it's a seven -week program with 35 short practical lessons covering grammar vocabulary pronunciation

101

and how to actually start thinking in english plus starting from the standard package

102

you get a live speaking session with a native speaker every single week

103

so you get real -time practice instead of passive watching.

104

More than 20 ,000 students have already gone through this program.

105

One of our students, Tom, said it was the only school in his life where he attended every single lesson with pleasure

106

and his dream finally came true.

107

He actually started speaking English.

108

Because you're watching this video, we're giving you free access to one full lesson so you can meet our teacher,

109

Benya Pak, and see how he breaks down tricky topics.

110

I'm pretty sure that you will get a lot of value just from this class alone, but if you want to continue,

111

use the promo code LINGUA MARINA for $20 off any plan.

112

The link is right in the description.

113

Okay, back to our sentences.

114

Number four is from Connor Grennan.

115

He's the chief AI architect at NYU's business school, and he trains big companies to use AI.

116

I asked him what skills people need now, and he said, everybody says, be adaptable, be curious, and then this.

117

But it drives me a little nuts when people say that, because what does that mean? but it drives me a little nuts

118

when people say that because what does

119

that mean it drives me nuts nuts means crazy

120

so it drives me nuts means it annoys me

121

so much it makes me crazy you also hear it drives me crazy

122

and it drives me up the wall same idea

123

and a little in the middle makes it friendly it drives me a little nuts he's annoyed

124

but he's smiling for example that noise is driving me nuts

125

or it drives me a little nuts

126

when people write you're welcome with no apostrophe i don't know

127

it's just coming up with things now shadow it it's short

128

so really try to match his speed but it drives me a little nuts

129

when people say that because what does

130

that mean this one is from marie for leo

131

she started her career on wall street at the new york stock exchange

132

and then built a business teaching people how to build their own businesses here she's talking about money

133

and the fear that it could all disappear.

134

Like, if that world happens, all bets are off.

135

Then we're in like a Hunger Games situation, and it doesn't matter what I had in the bank.

136

Does that make sense?

137

All bets are off.

138

This comes from gambling.

139

If something unexpected happens in the middle of the game, all bets are canceled.

140

So in real life, it means nothing we predicted counts anymore.

141

Anything can happen now.

142

Right before this, she says, of course the market could tank.

143

Tank means collapse.

144

So if the market tanks, all bets are off.

145

For example, if it rains tomorrow, all bets are off.

146

We'll plan something else.

147

Or if the visa doesn't get approved, all bets are off.

148

And a hunger game situation.

149

She uses a movie title like an adjective.

150

Native speakers do this all the time.

151

A titanic moment.

152

A home alone situation.

153

Now shadow it with her.

154

Like if that world happens, all bets are off.

155

Then we're in like a Hunger Games situation and it doesn't matter what I had in the bank.

156

Does that make sense?

157

Next is Aaron Levy, one of my favorite interviews, the founder and CEO of Box.

158

It's a $4 billion company and 64 % of the Fortune 500 companies use his product.

159

We were talking about what he automates with AI and what he doesn't.

160

There's a lot of things I could probably automate

161

if I like put my mind to it really, really hard there's a lot of things i could probably automate

162

if i like put my mind to it really really hard put your mind to something

163

it means to decide to focus on it seriously with all your effort usually

164

you hear it as encouragement you can do anything

165

if you put your mind to it every american parent says this to their kids aaron uses it

166

when talking about work he could automate a lot of things

167

if he puts his mind to it and he chose not to. For example, I could learn to cook if I put my mind to it

168

or she put her mind to it and pass the exam in three months.

169

Now shadow it.

170

There's a lot of things I could probably automate if I like put my mind to it really, really hard.

171

Next phrase is from Bill Gurley.

172

He's a venture capitalist, a general partner at Benchmark, one of the biggest names in Silicon Valley investing.

173

I asked him about parents who push their kids into safe jobs.

174

If you're in these roles you don't really care that much about and you're not pushing yourself to improve,

175

you're kind of a sitting duck anyway, like for these things.

176

If you're in these roles you don't really care that much about and you're not pushing yourself to improve,

177

you're kind of a sitting duck anyway, like for these things.

178

A sitting duck.

179

Picture a duck sitting on the water.

180

It's not moving, so for a hunter, it's the easiest target in the world.

181

A sitting duck is a person who's an easy target who can't protect themselves.

182

They're talking about people in jobs they don't care about with AI coming.

183

He says that if you're not improving, you're a sitting duck.

184

For example, if you never update your phone, you're a sitting duck for hackers.

185

Or without a lawyer in that meeting, he was a sitting duck.

186

And notice, kind of a sitting duck?

187

Native speakers put kind of in front of strong phrases to soften them a little.

188

It's still a sitting duck, but it sounds less harsh.

189

And by the way, pushing yourself to improve, that's what you're doing right now.

190

Now shadow it with me.

191

If you're in these roles you don't really care that much about, and you're not pushing yourself to improve,

192

you're kind of a sitting duck anyway, like for these things.

193

Next one is from Eric Bjernevsen.

194

He's an economist at Stanford who has spent 30 years studying what technology does to jobs, and he also teaches.

195

So this one is about his students.

196

My students don't love it when I cold call on them, but I ask them to, you know, think on their feet and define the problem.

197

My students don't love it when I cold call on them, but I ask them to think on their feet and define the problem.

198

Two phrases in one sentence, and both of them are about surprise.

199

And by the way, Stanford professors.

200

So, you know, if you're dreaming of studying in a top university, he represents the type of people you will be learning from.

201

Cold call.

202

In sales, a cold call is when you phone a stranger with no warning and offer something.

203

But a teacher can cold call too.

204

It means asking a student without warning.

205

No hands up, just you answer and think on your feet.

206

It means to react quickly without any preparation.

207

You didn't plan it, but you handle it anyway. And actually, that's exactly what shadowing trains thinking on your feet in english for example

208

i'm terrible at thinking on my feed during interviews

209

or she can really think on her feet now shadow the whole sentence my students don't love it

210

when i cold call on them

211

but i ask them to you know think on their feet

212

and define the problem next is chris petrigal ceo

213

and co -founder of granola it's an ai notepad valued at one

214

and a half billion dollars and my team actually uses that every day.

215

Here's he talking about how they started.

216

We'll do whatever it takes to learn as quickly as possible what we need to do to make our product better.

217

We'll do whatever it takes to learn as quickly as possible what we need to do to make our product better.

218

Whatever it takes, it means we will do anything necessary.

219

If it needs 10 hours, then 10 hours.

220

If it needs 100, 100.

221

This is a phrase you'll hear in sports, in business, in movies.

222

I'll do whatever it takes to get this job.

223

We'll do whatever it takes to make this work.

224

Now shadow it.

225

We'll do whatever it takes to learn as quickly as possible what we need to do to make our product better.

226

Okay, three more.

227

Priscilla Chan again, and this time she's talking about how fast science could move with AI.

228

And that's how we're going to be able to move this forward in a pace

229

that hopefully will blow all of our minds.

230

Blow your mind.

231

It means to amaze you completely, to surprise you

232

so much you can't believe it this movie blew my mind

233

this technology is blowing my mind the view from the top blew my mind

234

she says blow all of our minds

235

which means everyone's including hers for example the first time

236

i heard my own voice in english on a recording

237

it blew my mind in a bad way we by the way humans are wired in a way

238

that we hate hearing our own voice now let's say it with her

239

and that's how we're going to be able to move this forward in a pace

240

that hopefully will blow all of our minds.

241

Next is Grant Lee, co -founder and CEO of Gamma, the AI tool that turns one prompt into finished presentation.

242

Here he's talking about the first six months of building it.

243

Even after six months, we're barely scratching the surface on like the possibilities.

244

Even after six months, we were barely scratching the surface on the possibilities.

245

Scratching the surface.

246

Imagine something deep and you're.. only touching the very top of it.

247

That means you've only just started, there is so much more underneath, and barely makes it even smaller,

248

barely scratching the surface, almost not even started.

249

For example, coming up with it, we've been in Japan for a week and we've barely scratched the surface.

250

Or this video is just scratching the surface of what these people say.

251

Now say it with him.

252

Even after six months, we're barely scratching the surface on like the possibilities.

253

And our last one is from one of my favorite people

254

and probably a lot of you guys know her her name

255

is mel robbins she's a best -selling author her book let

256

them is one of the fastest selling non -fiction books ever

257

and she hosts the mel robbins podcast this is her advice for anyone who feels behind and if you

258

just keep putting your head down and you keep defining what you want

259

and you keep inching yourself forward and you really work on being a good person too, that it will work out for you.

260

If you just keep putting your head down and you keep defining what you want and you keep inching yourself forward,

261

it will work out for you.

262

Two phrases in one sentence.

263

Put your head down.

264

It means work hard and don't look around.

265

Don't compare yourself to other people.

266

Don't get distracted.

267

Just work.

268

And inch yourself forward.

269

I love that.

270

Remember Blake?

271

An inch from screwing it up same word an inch is a tiny measurement two and a half centimeters centimeters

272

so inching forward means moving very slowly tiny bit at a time

273

but moving i love this one for english put your head down inch forward

274

it will work out now shadow the whole thing and if you

275

just keep putting your head down and you keep defining what you want

276

and you keep inching yourself forward and you really work on being a good person too, that it will work out for you.

277

And that's our last one.

278

We've barely scratched the surface, but look at what you just did.

279

You shadowed real English from real native speakers at their natural speed.

280

That's a big step.

281

So put your head down, keep inching forward, and it will work out for you.

282

If you found it hard to shadow some of these phrases, go through them once or twice more until they start to feel natural.

283

And comment below with one of the phrases you shadowed today.

284

I will be reading your comments.

285

That's it for today.

286

如何用这段视频练习

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
