Listening and watching native speakers is the best way to improve your understanding.

But if you want to sound like one, you have to shadow.

Which means you have to pause this video every five seconds and repeat everything I said in exactly the same way.

But the most important thing in any learning process is enjoying the process.

So that's why I'm inviting you for a coffee walk with another American in the beautiful city Montevideo in Uruguay

So you could listen you could watch

and also you could learn English in the fun

and enjoyable way Now hit the like button below and let's get started All right,

here's the guy William good to see you sir Good to see you again.

Alright, tell us your story.

Where are you coming from and what the heck are you doing in Uruguay?

I am a California transplant. Is he a transplant?

They're all transplants.

Some of that has to do with the fact that things are loco in my country.

Yeah.

And some of it also has...

You said that things are loco.

Tell us.

Crazy.

There we go.

So Spanglish is your language, right?

Yeah, Spanglish is my language.

And when that doesn't work, I throw in an Italian word.

And when that doesn't work, I gesticulate.

For example, if I throw in a cone, people will forget what it's like to comb their hair.

Do you speak any JavaScript or Python?

Python?

I'm just kidding.

Those are programming languages.

Oh my God.

No, I'm Viaje.

Viaje, that means old.

Oh, no way.

You're a local.

By the way, guys, I'm going to raise our bats.

If we were ever going to really matter, we were going to have to raise the stakes.

Higher than ever before.

On this video right here, I have asked you guys to guess my age and the age of another guy.

No one was able to, and I promise you 20 bucks.

This time, if you will guess my age and his age, and put a comment right below this video, I'm going to send you $100,

no matter where you are no matter which country and location of yours.

I'll send you 100 bucks if you'll guess my age and his age right below this video.

So we shall not say that.

You're a California transplant, but how did you get to Uruguay?

What's the story behind it?

And what are you doing here?

Well, I actually was here like back and forth from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires with Montevideo in the middle.

Ryan Lamb is walking back and forth, back and forth.

When I was an assistant cruise director on a very small ship called the Sea Goddess.

Your hair looks so rad, all piled up like a sea goddess.

Can I touch that?

I don't know.

Come on.

I don't know.

I always had Montevideo in my pocket as somewhere I wanted to try living.

Why?

What did it attract you here?

Hey, yours is attracted to me.

No, yours is attracted to me.

I love the tango culture.

I love the passion.

You said the tango?

What's the tango?

I mean, the dance?

The national dance, the tango.

Oh, so it comes from Uruguay.

It comes from, well, they argue about it.

You know, disagree?

No, no, it's just a fancy way to say we don't have to argue about it.

We're arguing?

If we were in Argentina and I said that it came from Uruguay, I'd be in a lot of shit.

They'll beat you up.

I'm just kidding.

You guys let us know where did it come from.

I also like people are friendly, and I like that they are tranquilo.

Tranquilo?

Tranquilo.

They had a battle with authoritarianism here for about 15 years.

He tried everything from the menu of authoritarianism.

And they came out of it and realized everybody needed to be able to talk to each other.

Everybody needed to get along.

And so Tranquilo became like the motto of the entire country.

And this mate that everybody drinks.

I've noticed that.

Okay, it's got antioxidants.

It's got vitamin C.

It's got caffeine.

And it gives you the most sustained buzz that you have ever experienced.

The most sustained buzz.

I want you to explain this phrase to our subscribers Because they're going to love love it as they're learning English.

What does it mean?

It's sustained buzz Well, like if you have an express or you go up and then you go down pretty fast

mate just Sustains it, but I think the secret is

They don't tell you but there's a sedative in there at the same time Walter I Need a sedative

to produce that feeling of tranquilo and that's my theory.

Interesting!

I have not read any like medical papers on it or anything. Is that your theory?

100

My theory?

101

My theory is that these guys are known world-class perversion freaks.

102

Okay, here's the fountain with all of these keys.

103

Oh wow, it looks like a wall of rocks.

104

Yeah, but those are actual locks, not rocks.

105

Holy cow!

106

They're rusted.

107

Some of them have been waiting around for a long time to get opened.

108

I know.

109

That's a metaphor, right?

110

Yeah.

111

It's only a metaphor.

112

Only a metaphor.

113

Here's the bronze Arlo Chardelle.

114

Perfect.

115

The tango singer.

116

The tango singer.

117

Woo!

118

Interesting.

119

Good afternoon, sir.

120

What are you drinking today?

121

Muckab.

122

Wow.

123

That little tower there is...

124

That's charming.

125

It's called a boardija.

126

That means bird's nest.

127

And yet he can't even see a bird's nest right under his nose.

128

And my dream is to have like a, I'm a writer.

129

So my dream is to have a bird's nest apartment like that.

130

And you said that they have pretty amazing coffee here, right?

131

Yes, since it's about to rain, it's very likely going to rain.

132

Why don't we grab a coffee and have a coffee right here and continue our conversation?

133

Perfect.

134

Hola, hablo inglés?

135

Hablo inglés?

136

Poco.

137

Poco, perfecto.

138

Can we get a coffee and sit outside?

139

I want you to take it and sit outside my house tonight.

140

Is somebody going to come to us?

141

Do you need a menu in English?

142

English would be the best.

143

Thank you, I appreciate it.

144

Tell us your story.

145

You were cruising for a while, and how did you end up here?

146

Things kind of started unraveling in the United States.

147

Yeah.

148

And then I was like, I don't want to go away from something.

149

I want to go towards something.

150

But even if he couldn't go back to the way things were, there's always something to go towards.

151

And I started thinking about, I'm 12 seconds old.

152

So I decided I wanted a big adventure.

153

And five friends of mine actually decided to move to Uruguay.

154

How come?

155

Why?

156

Why Uruguay?

157

Why not Brazil?

158

Why not Vietnam?

159

Why not Mexico?

160

Uruguay is considered the most stable country in South America.

161

The Holocene has been one of the most stable periods in our planet's great history.

162

Did you guys know that?

163

I have never heard about that.

164

Uruguay is the most stable country in South America.

165

Wow!

166

It's not the cheapest country.

167

Absolutely.

168

Because they have total national health care.

169

They have political parties that talk to each other in a civil way and work things out together.

170

Guys, I think the most fair

171

and civil way for us to do this is for us to take a minute alive and split that $25,000 eight ways.

172

That sounds like a dream.

173

That sounds like a dream.

174

And, and, is it real?

175

There are 3.5 million people in the whole country.

176

Yeah.

177

In the San Francisco Bay Area where I come from, just that area, 7 million people.

178

The health stuff, the government agency stuff, the social service stuff, it's got to be easier.

179

And how safe is Montevideo?

180

Because I have not felt like I need to watch my phone or my camera right now.

181

Do I need to watch my back against you?

182

I said stay out of it.

183

I didn't feel like that.

184

I was like, okay, it's so safe and chill here that I can relax.

185

I feel very safe here.

186

I used to live in Sacramento, California, which is the state capital,

187

and the rednecks would come in on their trucks late at night, and the city would become wild.

188

and I did not feel exactly safe.

189

Here, I feel totally safe to go out at night, to walk at night.

190

You do have to watch pickpocketing.

191

Quick question.

192

You said rednecks.

193

Can you explain to the rest of the world what does the phrase redneck mean?

194

Because you've been on the sun, you get burned a little bit.

195

I can see that your neck is red.

196

That's where it came from.

197

It was originally like farming people in the United States that would be out in the sun farming or working on things,

198

and they'd end up with their whole neck red.

199

So that was the beginning of the term redneck.

200

The people who are rednecks will tell you about all sorts of aspects of their culture.

201

Food they like, whiskey they like, music they like, and they celebrate being rednecks.

202

My mom always loved to celebrate Christmas, but she didn't just celebrate the holidays.

203

She would celebrate my father.

204

There are liberals who don't like the way that some rednecks feel about other groups of people and consider them prejudice.

205

Prejudice.

206

Explain this word.

207

Oh, my God.

208

Species.

209

Species?

210

Someone is prejudiced against other species.

211

Yeah, I know what it is.

212

Oh, my.

213

Prejudice.

214

Bias.

215

Bias.

216

That's the modern word for it.

217

Bias.

218

When you don't really know anything about another group of people and you point at them with judgment or criticism,

219

and you kind of write them off or cancel them without unpeeling them or exploring them or being curious.

220

I used to live in North Dakota, as I mentioned, and in North Dakota, as you can imagine, everyone is pretty much redneck because they live on farms.

221

It's a village area.

222

It's a rural area.

223

Coming from a rural area, it's very natural for young men and women to want to do something about that.

224

Another phrase for you guys, rural area is area on the edge, not even in the city, it's far away from cities.

225

It's like a village area far away from humanity, we can say.

226

And I remember when Obama became a president, one of my farm workers who was 67 at that time or 70-some years young, he said, What the fuck?

227

Nica became president?

228

So it's another world within the United States, right?

229

Yes.

230

Within hours, within days, the country, and within weeks, the world.

231

When he did become president, if you did a Google search, you'd see all these lovely photographs.

232

But if you went deeper into the internet, there would be pictures of monkeys and gorillas posted by rednecks that would come up.

233

or they had some philosophy where they felt he'd been sent by the devil.

234

And so there would be satanic imagery.

235

And this is all going on in one country.

236

Yeah.

237

And while you're enjoying this video, I think you forgot to hit this big fat thumb up button below

238

and to subscribe to your channel it takes only five seconds

239

but it's very important for this guy right here alright let's

240

continue alright let's come back to Uruguay yes hello the national

241

drink mate there's I hope I'm saying the right word there's a big metal straw yeah called a Borbeja.

242

Borbeja.

243

Borbeja.

244

The metal straw that you sip the the mate tea from and everybody will sit around and they will pass it around.

245

Yeah.

246

And all share sips.

247

Yep.

248

Okay so once you're done writing them up pass it around and I want you guys to pick one out.

249

In the United States you would never see people sharing any kind of drink like that.

250

Hygiene.

251

Never.

252

They would be like getting out their hand sanitizer and putting it on their lips.

253

They would put a piece of Kleenex over the straw.

254

They would say no, thank you.

255

The only thing in the United States that gets passed around and shared is joints.

256

Smoke a couple of joints or two.

257

Hey, you had me a joint.

258

That seems to be okay, but anything else, no. This guy's drinking mate, by the way.

259

There, there, there.

260

Oh, and this is important.

261

Did you see how he had, like, leopard spots on his mate?

262

Fancy.

263

And I remember it was the president himself who said, can the leopard change his spots?

264

When you become an adult, or when you're a teenager declaring your identity you go out

265

and buy that and you find one that

266

that it reflects who you are exactly every single piece of

267

our outfit represents our taste our soul our flavor like she

268

represents the freshness of nature of the north i have this

269

thing right here it's from my friend he's a buddhist he gave it to me

270

so that represents respect to my friend that also that

271

that I have respect to Buddhism and to him because I'm wearing it.

272

And I kind of like it as well.

273

The watch has different things to represent.

274

Large, dark watch, dark outfit, blue shirt.

275

All of your colors are also representing your flavor and your tone of life as we can see.

276

When I first met you, one of the first things I saw was, I don't know whether I noticed your glasses,

277

your glasses frames first or your watch.

278

Right.

279

What we don't know is whether it's military, whether it's secret, whether it's government, whether it's private government.

280

But with the watch I was like, it's such a big face of time.

281

It's like this guy is in charge of his time.

282

I'm in charge of you, in charge of you, I'm in charge of you, in charge of you.

283

No way!

284

You can't leave her in charge.

285

And he knows how important time is.

286

That's so interesting to hear that how people understand who you are and what do you do based on your where.

287

And actually this brings another point.

288

I have over 15 videos about, or maybe 10 to 15 videos about public speaking or articulation.

289

And the fun thing is we all got used to the fact that people understand who we are by looking at us.

290

But the thing is, that's the first impression.

291

The first impression that I have was that he was handsome.

292

The second impression is, as soon as you start speaking, people realize who you are.

293

Number one, how you look like, it creates first impression.

294

The second impression is, how do you sound?

295

If I was me sounding like this, if I was me speaking and mumbling like the rest of the world, the United States, I would be like a rhythmic, right?

296

But I sound completely different.

297

You got it.

298

And honestly speaking, I'm so sad that in the school, they did not tell me that.

299

When I was born, I wasn't even told that I have to dress up nicely.

300

I was like, man, my parents told me, shoot.

301

I'm like, why?

302

I don't want to.

303

I want to chill.

304

But if they would teach us in a school, they would explain where can the life bring you if you dress nicely and if you sound professional.

305

My grandma always used to say that life will bring you to the right person person in the right place.

306

So the entire life depends on two single things that you can improve on your own.

307

Tell me, you are an actor, aren't you?

308

I, yes, I'm an actor and a writer and I was also a psychotherapist and they all go together.

309

Oh, wow.

310

That's amazing because I can actually see your charisma and the natural flow.

311

I love it.

312

Tell me more.

313

Why did you want to become an actor and how did you become one?

314

I wanted to become an actor because me and my best friend

315

when we were five spent from the time we were five

316

to the time we were nine sitting in her oak tree pretending to be different people.

317

Wow.

318

We were just pretending to be rockers and...

319

Pretending?

320

I knew it.

321

I was raised in my family and my community and my school to have a very defined sense of identity.

322

Our identities will be defined by the pain.

323

But because of this contact with the flow of imagination,

324

I just always was shape-shifting.

325

and shapeshifting powers go!

326

So when I got to high school, I loved the idea of becoming one character and rehearsing it

327

and kind of mastering it and then throwing it out the window and starting over again.

328

I also had a lot of people around me that were professional people like doctors and lawyers and businessmen,

329

and they had been trapped in their identity all of their lives.

330

They have been hopelessly trapped in an ice flow, lost at sea, and have traversed inhospitable, frigid terrain.

331

And even though they made a lot of money,

332

you could tell there were so many people inside them that they never got to become.

333

Wow.

334

So I just love becoming other people.

335

Imagine that you were born in Uruguay or in Brazil, India or Indonesia, Philippines, Colombia, Ukraine, Poland, Egypt or Turkey,

336

and those are 10 countries where the majority of our audience is from.

337

You were born in one of those countries and you don't speak English.

338

How would you learn it with all of your experience throughout your life?

339

How would you go about learning English completely from scratch?

340

The way I actually learned French.

341

I fell in love with one of the great singers of France, Edith Piaf.

342

She had a 50-year career and she would always sing about love.

343

And so I learned her songs and I memorized her song lyrics.

344

They weren't poems.

345

They were song lyrics.

346

And I even looked at them and then I just went out into the world and I'm not kidding.

347

And I just put different lyrics from her songs together.

348

And because a lot of them were about love, it took me in certain directions.

349

But I think people like American music.

350

Yeah.

351

There may be many things wrong with America that people don't like.

352

And I understand that.

353

But I think people still like American music.

354

Oh, they do a lot.

355

And start listening more to the songs you love.

356

Look at the lyrics.

357

Start realizing you already know a lot of English.

358

If you ever sing along with those songs, you already have a foundation. So true.

359

While I was in North Dakota, I was attending a church.

360

And what did help me to improve the way I sound was singing in a church with everyone else.

361

Before that, I had quite a heavy accent

362

and I got rid of majority of it by singing songs in a church with everyone else.

363

Number one, you learn wording just like you said.

364

Number two, you pretty much shadow people and you try to sound just like everyone.

365

Yes.

366

And while I was learning English as well, I've realized that what you said is actually the only way to be able to learn something.

367

Because you said you have to translate songs that you enjoy.

368

The key word here is enjoy.

369

If you are learning something and you're not enjoying the process, you are not going to stick with it for a while.

370

It has to be fun.

371

Stick with it, poos.

372

You're almost there.

373

It has to be fun.

374

And there's one thing not to do.

375

Every single school I've gone to to learn a language,

376

they spend so much time telling you the exceptions to all the rules and having you memorize forms of verbs.

377

If you, yeah, double.

378

If you are, if you need to wake up in the morning

379

and talk to people and buy your food and have human contact, you do not have to be that perfect.

380

And you do not have to be, have your mind filled with exceptions.

381

The first thing I did when I came here was if it's a dry cleaners, if it's a restaurant, if it's at the bank,

382

I would take a moment with myself to say,

383

what did I need to learn to say that I did not know here?

384

And let me stop right now and learn this

385

because I'm gonna go to the bank again next week and I can be a little teeny bit better.

386

A lot of snake venom made her sick, but a teeny little bit mixed in with my special ingredients will make her feel all better again.

387

So you've got to notice what you need, not what a book tells you.

388

Exactly.

389

And what you guys need is to practice speaking.

390

That's the best advice anyone can ever give you.

391

Simply practice speaking with someone, practice speaking with a native speaker, which is the best way.

392

But if you cannot find a native speaker, what you can do, you can join FoxU.com.

393

That's a platform that I have built where people from all around the world, from more than 111 countries,

394

as of right now, speak with each other on a daily, on a weekly basis.

395

Just like all of these people from all over the world

396

from colombia from senegal from egypt from mozambique from ukraine from france from germany from the united states

397

and from uruguay as well and here's an actor's advice about

398

that if you are shy and afraid to try and speak pretend you're somebody else doing it that's a badass advice,

399

I'll say pretend you are somebody else.

400

And I hope that a lot of people from our channel can fully understand.

401

Actually, let me guys know, as we've got a native speaker here and he's using quite complex vocabulary.

402

Patient understands complex concepts.

403

Absolutely.

404

Let me know, how many percent of this conversation did you understand?

405

Is it 50, 54, 90, 100, or is it zero?

406

And on this good note, I want to thank you for joining us.

407

I want to tell you guys, leave a comment right below this video and tell William how awesome he is, because he definitely deserves that.

408

Thanks.

409

Deserves that.

410

416

and repeat everything without stopping the video to keep up with the pace enjoy it and i'm going to go home

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
