  5. You didn't say that like your parents are part of anymore than you still are.0:12
  6. Cause you're sh**.0:15
  7. True.0:17
  8. Growing up, I've been vegetarian and then it's so sad because there's no meat now.0:17
  9. So what was I gonna do?0:20
  10. Like buy it myself when I'm seven?0:21
  11. You can't just walk to the store when you're seven and buy f**king bacon.0:23
  12. So, because of that I never ate meat and that's like cool.0:27

  13. Definitely one of those things where like it's the first day of school and like the teacher's like, hey I'm ready to save some fat.0:53
  14. I'm like, I've never had meat before.0:58
  15. It's like really cool in the whole class.0:59
  16. Like, wait, I'm kidding.1:01
  17. I'm gonna make it to attention for like 20 minutes and then nobody talks to me for the rest of the year.1:02
  18. Like it's still cool though.1:05
  19. I'm gonna do it.1:09
  20. Bring it.1:10
  21. Oh, I also have my friends here who are gonna help me.1:11
  22. They've made that for me.1:13
  23. Obviously, like naturally I'm not gonna like know what to think out, you know, because I don't know what's good.1:14
  24. So I have some meaty friends to pay.1:18
  25. I'm holding my mic up.1:21
  26. It's not here yet.1:22
  27. The stuff that I need is not here yet.1:22
  28. The stuff that I need is not here yet.1:24
  29. Okay, we'll wait.1:25
  30. I'm waiting.1:30
  31. Alright, watch this wait for five minutes.1:32
  32. The next five minutes of the video is just this.1:35
  33. When people actually click off, I say that.1:39
  34. We have this fucking meat.1:43
  35. Dude, it's not here yet.1:44
  36. There's some meats that are here.1:45
  37. Why can't I just eat it?1:46
  38. Start it with a fresh, fresh...1:47
  39. Because I need to do it in order.1:49
  40. It needs to be orderly.1:51
  41. Okay.1:52
  42. Since I know it's Emma's first time eating meat, I got her the best meats of all time.1:53
  43. I just don't like what it sounds.1:57
  44. Yeah, it's kinda gross.1:58
  45. I'll refrain from saying that for now.1:59
  46. Okay.2:00
  47. I got everyone some non -vitriterian options.2:01
  48. The poultry.2:03
  49. Is it the people of poultry?2:04
  50. Dude, I don't know.2:05
  51. I think sometimes...2:07
  52. I don't know the fucking guys we're talking about.2:07
  53. The section again does...2:09
  54. That's poultry, right?2:10
  55. Oh, poultry is what?2:12
  56. It's not...2:14
  57. It's color.2:15
  58. I'm just gonna get her some fucking pepperoni from the frozen section at a grocery store.2:17
  59. If it's her first time eating meat, that would just be wrong.2:21
  60. That's so rude.2:23
  61. I'm gonna blindfold Emma while she's...2:24
  62. Okay.2:26
  63. I can't...2:27
  64. I know.2:27
  65. Ready?2:29
  66. It just sounds wrong.2:29
  67. I know.2:30
  68. You're gonna guess what it is and then we're gonna do a review on it because you need to have more content.2:31
  69. Yeah, I am so scared.2:35
  70. Like...2:37
  71. You'd be afraid of it.2:37
  72. No, wait.2:38
  73. God!2:40
  74. Yeah, you gotta...2:42
  75. Oh my God!2:43

  81. This is gonna be interesting.2:51
  82. I can't help feeling this much.2:52
  83. Yeah, let's do this.2:54
  84. I'm just like really scared.2:54
  85. Honestly, okay, so like...2:56
  86. I'm pretty chill trying new foods, but I think the thing I'm like worried about is the fact that like steak makes me want to vomit and die.2:57
  87. Like when I look at it, and that's the one thing I'm scared about.3:04
  88. You've never tried it.3:06
  89. Yeah, but like...3:07
  90. It's chicken.3:12
  91. Alright, first round.3:13
  92. Wait, no, you should start with...3:14
  93. No!3:15
  94. I hate this.3:17
  95. Ew, all this smells weird.3:18
  96. I'm glad people didn't do this.3:19
  97. You wanna buy me...3:22
  98. Wait, just...3:23
  99. Set it up for a nice label.3:24
  100. Okay, good.3:26
  101. Why is he yelling?3:27
  102. No!3:29
  103. No!3:30
  104. No!3:31
  105. No!3:32
  106. No!3:33
  107. No!3:34
  108. Don't smell it, don't do anything.3:36
  109. Wait, you can't smell it?3:37
  110. No.3:38
  111. Fuck me!3:38
  112. It's not gross, I do it every day.3:39
  113. Okay, but also not to...3:40
  114. Yeah, but like you've been doing it.3:41
  115. Fuck you!3:42
  116. No, this is actually so terrifying.3:43
  117. Also, the more I react, I'm like even more annoying than the more content I have, so just let me have this freak out moment.3:45
  118. Don't lick me!3:49
  119. It feels kind of like heavy, so I feel like it's my mistake, and I'm scared because that's the only thing I wanted to try the least.3:50
  120. Can I like lick it?3:55
  121. No!3:56
  122. Why?3:57
  123. Ew, why is it like stringy?3:58
  124. Like, why are there like fucking flops all over it?4:00
  125. You mean flaps?4:02
  126. Yeah.4:03
  127. You just need to hold it, and then you go, hold it, you did it.4:04
  128. Ew.4:06
  129. Shit, I'm gonna cover your fucking teeth, and you fly them all the way.4:07
  130. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!4:10
  131. Ew.4:12
  132. You finished it.4:14
  133. Holy shit, you know what you just did then.4:15
  134. Ugh.4:16
  135. What is it?4:17
  136. Was it bad?4:17
  137. The actual flavor of it was actually really good.4:18
  138. Why are you just...4:20
  139. Okay, but then the texture of it made me want to...4:21
  140. Hi.4:25
  141. Wow, what an experience.4:26
  142. So...4:27
  143. What do you think it was?4:27
  144. I actually genuinely don't have any clue.4:28
  145. Oh my God, seriously.4:30
  146. I don't know what it is.4:32
  147. It kind of tasted like bacon, but like only a little bit.4:33
  148. It wasn't bad.4:36
  149. I think the thing I hated about it was it was kind of like lukewarm, which is just gross for any food.4:36
  150. You give me like a lukewarm salad, and I also want to die, so like, I think it's just that.4:40
  151. Mmm.4:44
  152. I don't know what it is.4:45
  153. Either ham, or like chicken, but I don't know.4:46
  154. I couldn't fucking tell you.4:48
  155. That just tasted like meat.4:49
  156. I don't think that was chicken.4:54
  157. So, ham.4:55
  158. You thought the first one was ham.4:56
  159. Yes, I did.4:57
  160. You're fucking wrong.4:57
  161. You're kidding.4:58
  162. Are you actually kidding?4:59
  163. Yeah, I'm kidding.5:00
  164. No.5:01
  165. Yeah, I am.5:01
  166. It was ham?5:01
  167. No, it was chicken.5:02
  168. No way!5:04
  169. That's so weird that you didn't know that.5:05
  170. No, I genuinely didn't.5:06
  171. Fuck, I hate this.5:10
  172. I feel like I'm a little nervous recently.5:12
  173. Ow, fuck.5:14
  174. Did you just need some of it?5:14
  175. No.5:15
  176. How is it?5:17
  177. It's good.5:18
  178. What?5:18
  179. I don't know.5:19
  180. Okay.5:20
  181. No!5:22
  182. Don't flop it around too much.5:23
  183. It's just barely in the fork.5:24
  184. You need to do creative...5:25
  185. Fuck, come on.5:25
  186. Excuse me, I need meditation, mom.5:29
  187. Should I go for it?5:33
  188. Mmm, think so.5:34
  189. You're going to die a little bit.5:35
  190. Uhhhhhhh.5:37
  191. What if I spit it out?5:38
  192. I don't have anything to prepare for me.5:39
  193. You're not going to spit it out.5:40
  194. Why?5:41
  195. Are you ready?5:41
  196. I'm ready for you.5:42
  197. No.5:43
  198. The thing is, is that he didn't tell me what he was ordering when he was ordering it, so it's not even like I can do process of elimination.5:43
  199. There's so many types of meat.5:48
  200. This could be a fucking alligator.5:49
  201. It's a fucking piss, too.5:50
  202. You have to piss?5:51
  203. Yeah, I can do.5:52
  204. Ugh.5:56
  205. This is the weirdest texture I've ever had.5:56
  206. Ew, I hate this.5:58
  207. Mmm, mmm, mmm.5:59
  208. Mmm.6:00
  209. Well, I know what it is, and I have to have a throb.6:00
  210. What?6:03
  211. Ew, ugh.6:03
  212. It's definitely steak.6:04
  213. The flavor of this bomb is fucked.6:05
  214. Like, I, like, it actually tastes so good.6:07
  215. Do you want chicken powder?6:09
  216. I don't know.6:11
  217. The texture is so weird.6:12
  218. It also kind of tastes as bloody a little bit.6:14
  219. It's like a mushroom for me.6:15
  220. Like, do mushrooms taste bad?6:16
  221. No, but like, because I don't like the idea of mushrooms, I gag when I eat them.6:17
  222. Who the fuck is it?6:22
  223. Oh, post - Hi.6:23
  224. Wait, you have to say what do you think?6:24
  225. What was the second one?6:25
  226. Second one was definitely steak.6:26
  227. Alright, let's go.6:27
  228. The last one kind of made me want to bomb and die, so kind of worried about, like, what's next.6:34
  229. Oh, kind of, this one kind of smells fun.6:39
  230. Kind of fun.6:41
  231. Thank you.6:47
  232. Okay.6:49
  233. What the fuck?6:53
  234. Wait, that was definitely like a chicken nugget.6:56
  235. I guess.6:58
  236. A chicken nugget?6:59
  237. Yeah, why don't you hold that one?6:59
  238. Kind of like really bland though, like really bland.7:00
  239. So I don't know, because I used to eat, like, vegetarian chicken nuggets and shit.7:03
  240. Like, those were fun as hell.7:06
  241. Like, that was really boring.7:08
  242. So boring.7:09
  243. Still on it.7:10
  244. There's something about it.7:10
  245. There you go.7:11
  246. I get scared when you're having a gore.7:14
  247. Okay.7:16
  248. This is also a chicken nugget.7:19
  249. I know what you did.7:21
  250. Oh, I already did it.7:21
  251. It was kind of really good.7:22
  252. Fuck, I'm gonna be confused.7:23
  253. No, well, that eat weird.7:24
  254. This is really good.7:26
  255. Which one was better, one or this?7:27
  256. Two.7:29
  257. Number one was watching my, this is like water sand.7:31
  258. Like, but number two tasted like a flavorful explosion.7:34
  259. What do you think the other one was?7:38
  260. I think I know what you did.7:39
  261. This is a smart guy, you know.7:40
  262. We kind of think the same way.7:41
  263. And I think that the first one was vegetarian.7:42
  264. I think the second one was chicken.7:44
  265. The first one was vegetarian chicken.7:45
  266. The second one was normal chicken, which one was better?7:48
  267. The chicken one.7:50
  268. But, sorry, I feel guilty about it, but.7:50
  269. You mean that water sand girl?7:54
  270. I know.7:55
  271. Wow.7:56
  272. I can't believe you're actually doing this.7:57
  273. That was your first time eating chicken.7:59
  274. That was my first time ever eating fucking chicken, ever.8:00
  275. What was that?8:03
  276. Before that.8:03
  277. Well, you had different types of chicken.8:04
  278. No.8:05
  279. That was your second time eating chicken technically.8:05
  280. Why?8:07
  281. Because the first one was like four minutes ago.8:07
  282. And then chicken leg right before the steak.8:09
  283. Oh my god, that was chicken.8:11
  284. Yeah, I just didn't have a chicken.8:13
  285. I get it.8:15
  286. Big steps.8:15
  287. Big steps.8:16
  288. You're probably gonna lose the blindfold the rest of the time because the rest of it's pretty neat.8:17
  289. Alright.8:22
  290. I think it's gonna be more epic than definitely.8:23
  291. More epic.8:25

  302. Yeah, I did that just in case.8:44
  303. I was gonna eat it.8:45
  304. Nothing can be more painful than my librenno.8:46
  305. Those two are so good.8:48
  306. I'm gonna chop this fucking upside down.8:48
  307. Okay, which one should I eat first?8:51
  308. The red one.8:53
  309. I'm the gag for sure.8:55
  310. No, I'm not.8:56
  311. No, I am.8:56
  312. It's good.8:57
  313. It's okay.8:57
  314. No, no, no.8:58

  323. It's really good.9:10
  324. You guys aren't good.9:10
  325. I'm trying this one next because I don't know, it just kind of looks fun.9:12
  326. Are you good?9:20
  327. Should I use my finger?9:21
  328. Yeah, and then you're trying to bring it in.9:22
  329. You guys were kind of pissed at last one once.9:23
  330. I already said that was salmon.9:24
  331. No.9:26
  332. It fucking broke now.9:26

  343. I don't like this one.9:40
  344. Ew.9:42
  345. I'm having an issue because I'm a very picky eater, as we know.9:43
  346. And this has like fucking lines in it, and there's something about like lines, or like really small like fibers and foods, like the fucking I don't like.9:47
  347. Like when you're eating tomato sauce and there's like a little tomato like string thing, like fuck that, you know what I'm saying?9:54
  348. Ew, fuck, we gotta go for it.10:00
  349. Oh wow.10:02

  353. Okay, let me finish this and then we'll...10:08
  354. Do I have other things?10:10
  355. No.10:11
  356. I wanted that.10:11
  357. Okay.10:15
  358. It was like a tongue, whipping around.10:15
  359. Wait, wait, wait, my camera's not back.10:19

  374. No, raw tuna's good.10:37
  375. Okay.10:38

  389. Meat lover, pizza.10:59
  390. How does it smell like...11:01

  399. There's too much fucking meat.11:13
  400. I can't believe you're eating this much meat.11:15
  401. This is actually insane.11:16
  402. I'm gonna fucking die soon.11:17
  403. Here's my issue with this pizza.11:18
  404. Sauce and cheese are actually really fucking good because I love pizza, so like it doesn't take much to impress me with that.11:19
  405. Anyway, it's like going down my throat all slow and like scratching on the way down.11:24
  406. I'm not losing.11:27
  407. I think that's just gonna, I think you said it should have more.11:28
  408. Well, that's probably it.11:30
  409. But everything about the pizza is actually good except that the meat is on it.11:31
  410. Moral stories, I'm not really into it.11:34
  411. Did you say enough?11:36
  412. Yes, what do you think?11:37
  413. I think it's time for the finale.11:38
  414. It's finale time.11:42
  415. Why are you so close to my face with the camera?11:43
  416. It's funny looking.11:45
  417. It's kind of goofy.11:46
  418. Alright, Roach, we're going to Vegas.11:47
  419. Vegas!11:48
  420. Vegas!11:49
  421. You have the P?11:51
  422. Yeah, I do.11:52
  423. There's urinals at the end of the hour.11:53
  424. It's okay.11:54
  425. You know what you're gonna get?11:57
  426. I have no clue what I'm gonna get.11:59
  427. You're gonna get a hamburger, aren't you?12:00
  428. Yeah, but I don't like toppings.12:01
  429. Just get the meat with no bun.12:03
  430. I'm gonna pull the meat like that.12:04
  431. Okay.12:05
  432. Just flap it around.12:05
  433. Flap it around.12:06
  434. No, don't do that.12:07
  435. Why?12:08
  436. Me and Brian.12:08
  437. Hi, Brian.12:09
  438. Hi, Mr.12:10
  439. King.12:11
  440. What's up, guys?12:11
  441. Aw, he's the cutest guy I've ever seen.12:12
  442. This is what Brian, the photographer, looks like, guys.12:16
  443. What's up?12:19
  444. He's been back freaking awesome and perfect.12:19
  445. Can I have a double -double with no tomatoes and no onions?12:21
  446. James, end this video!12:23
  447. I was getting beat for the first time, by the way.12:24
  448. Oh, you're fucking...12:26
  449. That was my first time.12:26
  450. You're fucking soft.12:28
  451. I love you.12:29
  452. Fuck you.12:30
  453. Hey, bye.12:31
  454. Shit, ready?12:33
  455. Epic editing?12:35
  456. Oh, shit.12:38
  457. Hit a zoom on this shit.12:39
  458. Damn.12:40
  459. I'm gonna stop, please.12:41
  460. Um, no.12:42
  461. Am I gonna hit this car?12:44
  462. Okay, cool.12:45
  463. Yeah, probably.12:45
  464. Yeah, let's do it.12:45
  465. Wow.12:46
  466. Mukbang.12:47
  467. For the finale, I'm gonna be eating In -N -Out because I grew up in California.12:47
  468. Everybody fucking loves In -N -Out and I've, like, never tried it.12:50
  469. I should, by now, have had one and I haven't.12:53
  470. This is a double -double.12:56
  471. There's two fucking patties in it.12:56
  472. It's way too much for my veggie ass.12:58
  473. Show them the two patties.12:59
  474. Ew.13:00
  475. It's kind of supposed to give a fucking...13:01
  476. I think that's kind of not a good smell.13:03
  477. You just can't think about it.13:05
  478. Ugh, this was a no.13:08
  479. And three, two, one.13:09
  480. I'm scared.13:11
  481. Zero.13:12
  482. Negative one.13:14
  483. A couple of you just did that.13:19
  484. Hmm.13:21
  485. Kind of dry.13:23
  486. You need another bite.13:24
  487. Bite it here.13:25
  488. That looks kind of wet.13:26
  489. Like, big bite, big bite.13:27
  490. Oh, wow.13:29
  491. It's dripping.13:30
  492. It's dripping.13:30
  493. It's dripping.13:31
  494. Throw another one out.13:32
  495. I'm not going out of the way.13:32
  496. No.13:33
  497. Underwhelmed.13:35
  498. I literally had veggie burgers that were better than that, which is surprising because, like, I don't know, veggie burgers are supposed to be boring as fuck, but I'm not13:35
  499. a fan.13:41
  500. Here's the thing.13:41
  501. There's a lot of hype around the In -N -Out.13:42
  502. In -N -Out.13:43
  503. There's a lot of hype around In -N -Out.13:44
  504. It's hard when something's so hyped up for you to be, like, you know, you hype it up so much in your head.13:45
  505. Yeah, like, it wasn't like, oh, you know what I mean?13:49
  506. Like, it was really good, but it was like...13:52
  507. That's...13:53
  508. That's it.13:54
  509. I think my favorite thing of the day today was definitely Chick -fil -A.13:55
  510. Overall consensus.13:58
  511. Is that the right word?13:59
  512. I have no fucking clue.13:59
  513. I didn't go to school.14:00
  514. Me either.14:01
  515. I think my overall conclusion is that meat is a good shirt, but it's not great.14:01
  516. But meat's not bad.14:06
  517. Meat has its moments.14:06
  518. It doesn't make me feel that good.14:07
  519. It kind of makes me feel a little bit oily and sweaty.14:08
  520. I think that was the meat lover's pizza.14:10
  521. I think that was just meat, though.14:12
  522. I think I was just like that before, maybe.14:13
  523. Maybe you're just a little nervous.14:14
  524. I ate the meat, and I chewed it up, and I swallowed that shit.14:15
  525. Meat, honestly, is a solid four and a half out of ten.14:18
  526. I really am underwhelmed.14:21
  527. I'm not excited about it.14:22
  528. I really don't care.14:23
  529. I'm probably still going to be vegetarian after this, and that's the damn tea.14:23
  530. I love you.14:26
  531. Thanks for watching.14:27
  532. Hope you had fun.14:27
  533. You're way too fast.14:28
  534. No, this is good.14:29
  535. That's it for today's video.14:30
  536. I'm done, and...14:32
  537. You feel sick?14:34
  538. No, I don't feel sick.14:34
  539. See, I think that's a lot of people's biggest worry.14:35
  540. They'll feel sick.14:37
  541. Right.14:37
  542. You don't feel sick.14:38
  543. No, I feel fucking fine.14:38
  544. Okay, bye.14:39
  545. See you guys later.14:40
  546. There was nothing to worry about.14:40
  547. What does that mean?14:42
  548. No.14:44
  549. There's nothing.14:44
  550. There's nothing wrong.14:45
  551. Nothing bad happened.14:46
  552. She shouldn't have been worrying about anything.14:47
  553. No, I was fine.14:49
  554. I'm sorry.14:53
  555. Me too.14:54
  556. Okay, bye.14:55
  557. I need to go.14:56

A Fast American Vlog Conversation at B1 Level

This clip is a conversation between two friends on Emma Chamberlain's channel: one of them, a lifelong vegetarian, tries meat for the first time on camera. It sits at B1 and runs at 309 words per minute, faster than everything else in the catalogue, which makes it a demanding target for english speaking practice. The american accent here is quick and unpolished, closer to how friends actually talk than to a studio recording.

Nothing is scripted. She talks over herself, restarts sentences, laughs mid line while explaining why she is nervous. That messiness is the point: an english shadowing practice clip this fast trains you to keep pace with real speed and real hesitation, not a slowed down dialogue built for a textbook.

The Nerves and Reductions in Her Opening Lines

The clip opens on her nerves, and the reductions show up immediately. "Today we're gonna eat meat." compresses going to into a single beat, and she repeats the pattern seconds later in "So what was I gonna do?", a rhetorical question thrown back to her childhood. Both are useful targets if you want to improve your english accent on this specific contraction rather than in isolation.

  • "Today we're gonna eat meat.": the gonna lands soft and fast, almost swallowed, right at the start of the sentence.
  • "Kinda nervous.": two words, no verb, said with a falling pitch that carries the whole feeling.
  • "I'm kinda like, I feel like I'm really nervous actually because I've been vegetarian my entire life.": a long, run on sentence with no pause for breath, typical of how people actually explain themselves on camera.
  • "You can't just walk to the store when you're seven and buy f**king bacon.": a fast, indignant line where the stress lands hard on store and seven.

How to Work Through This Vegetarian to Meat Eater Clip

Work this one line by line before you try to keep up with the whole 309 words per minute. This kind of daily english conversation practice rewards patience with the short lines before you attempt the long ones.

  • Start with line 1, "Today we're gonna eat meat.", on its own until the gonna stops feeling like a separate word.
  • Move to line 2, "Kinda nervous.", and match her falling intonation rather than reading it flat.
  • Shadow this line next: "I'm kinda like, I feel like I'm really nervous actually because I've been vegetarian my entire life." Say it in one breath, the way she does, then break it into two if you need to.
  • Return to "So what was I gonna do?" and practise it as a real question aimed at someone, not a line read off a page.
  • Once those hold, take the longer line about walking to the store and buying bacon at full speed. If you can stay with her there, you can stay with most of the rest of the clip.
