01:43.0
So I'm just trying to, you know, just do the requests for my friends here in the United States because they're asking me a lot like to do the vlog in English, English version.
01:56.0
So it's so hard for me.
01:59.0
Yeah, so the whole time, the whole time of this video is gonna be like choppy, okay?
02:08.0
So okay, so it's funny while I'm remembering some conversation that I have here.
02:16.0
Because you know, it's for me, it's better for me to learn more in texting, like in words.
02:27.0
Compare like, compare in, like in talking, like having a conversation, actual conversation is hard for me to understand.
02:39.0
But sometimes I hardly understand what they're saying because it's too fast sometimes.
02:47.0
I rather choose to like communicate in text, like conversation in text.
02:53.0
So I more understand that and I can like express or like talk in text easily.
03:05.0
So I learn a lot.
03:08.0
A lot of people here, some kind of words like everyday words, what they're using, like shortcuts, the abbreviation.
03:18.0
Because that's the trend here, like the conversation is like short.
03:27.0
Like for example, alright, you're just gonna say aight, like a-i-g-h-t, kind of like that.
03:37.0
So you know, I learn a lot like mostly in that kind of conversation, like everyday conversation.
03:45.0
It's fun to learn and everything.
03:49.0
So it's funny, I remember back then, so I have a conversation in text.
03:56.0
So they always like say cool, cool.
03:59.0
And then I'm gonna be like, what, what, what's, what, what, what they mean like cool?
04:04.0
Like I feel, because before it's funny, I thought whenever they say cool, it's cold, right?
04:10.0
Because in my country, in Philippines, cool is cold.
04:13.0
Like it's cold, right?
04:17.0
So I thought it's cold.
04:19.0
What they, what, what, what, what, what, you know, what, what they're trying to say like cool?
04:25.0
And then I, I go to Google, I always go to Google and search.
04:29.0
What if, what they, what's the meaning if they say cool?
04:32.0
It's like cool, like good, good.
04:34.0
Like, um, like, um, like okay, like great, something like that.
04:41.0
So, and now I always use that word too.
04:44.0
Like whenever, like when having a conversation, like saying like, oh, we need to go there.
04:49.0
Oh, um, this has happened, but blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
04:52.0
And I say, okay, cool, cool.
04:54.0
You know, it's like, all right, all right, no worries, kind of like that.
04:57.0
So yeah, before it's funny because I thought it's cold.
05:01.0
The meaning of cool, like cold.
05:04.0
So it's so funny.
05:05.0
And I just thinking what else that I misinterpret that, you know, I'm, I'm best friend.
05:12.0
I'm best friend with Google.
05:13.0
I always like go there and Google search and everything.
05:17.0
Whenever I don't understand what they're saying, I just go there.
05:21.0
But you know what?
05:22.0
When I got here, oh my God, like first, like first, maybe first six months or first five months that I'm here.
05:30.0
I'm so scared, like talking, going out.
05:33.0
Like I always like put my head down like that when I'm walking.
05:37.0
Because here in United States, whenever, other people always ask you, how are you?
05:43.0
Like how you doing?
05:44.0
Um, so I don't, I really don't want to everybody like ask me like that because I'm so shy to say something.
05:52.0
Like, cause I'm not that comfortable, you know, speaking English so much.
05:57.0
I can speak English in my country, in the Philippines.
06:00.0
But, you know, my confidence, like it's gone.
06:03.0
Like I don't have, um, that confidence level that even though, you know, here they don't mind if you have, if you're hard to speak in English.
06:12.0
Most important thing here is like you understand each other.
06:16.0
They understand you even though, you know, your English is not that good.
06:19.0
It's not that fluent.
06:21.0
That's why, um, sometimes if I don't understand like what they're saying, mostly in work.
06:28.0
Before I'm so shy, I always like, okay, okay, even though I don't understand.
06:32.0
I always say, okay, okay.
06:34.0
And then later on when I'm around with my friend, like I'm gonna ask like, hey, did you explain to me what the manager told me?
06:41.0
Cause I just don't really understand and I don't, you know, hear everything like clearly.
06:47.0
And then my friends explain to me like what's my manager like wants me to do or something.
06:53.0
Because, of course, I don't wanna, I don't wanna my manager look at me like, oh, she don't understand.
06:59.0
That's why I'm always like, okay, okay.
07:00.0
And then later I'm gonna ask my friends like, what, what, what, what did he gonna say?
07:04.0
What, what she gonna say?
07:05.0
Or what, what he gonna say?
07:10.0
So, a lot of people here make fun of me.
07:13.0
Like, not like making fun of, like, like, like they're bullying me.
07:18.0
Like, they just like, um, they always laugh whenever I talk.
07:23.0
Like, they, for, for them it's so cute.
07:28.0
Like, whenever I say something, like, whenever I talk, it's just like they're always laughing.
07:33.0
Like, not, not making fun of you.
07:35.0
But, you know, they're just like enjoying you.
07:39.0
So, that's why I, you know, I make a lot of friends here, like, easily, so much.
07:45.0
Because I'm so talkative.
07:47.0
Before, when I got here, no, because I'm so scared to, to talk, to speak English.
07:53.0
But now, I have confidence to, you know, because I, I, I, um, slowly, slowly adapt their, you know, their culture a little bit, a little bit.
08:06.0
That, you know, they don't mind if you, like, um, like, if you're not fluent in English.
08:11.0
Because a lot of people here, I'm, I'm good, I'm more good compared to them.
08:15.0
Because a lot of people here, like, really can't, like, they can't, they can't understand.
08:20.0
Even understand English, they can't.
08:22.0
And Filipino people, that this is our second language, I know that a lot of you understand me right now.
08:30.0
That's why it's cool, cool, you know what I'm saying?
08:35.0
And, yeah, I always say, yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:37.0
So, yeah, they, I don't know, whenever I, I say that, yeah, yeah, yeah, they just, like, laugh.
08:41.0
Like, it's like, oh, my God, you're so, you're so cute.
08:45.0
They just, they always say that.
08:47.0
Because, you know, I don't know, I, I always say that, yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:50.0
Okay, okay, okay.
08:51.0
I rather say, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:56.0
And my, my accent.
08:57.0
So, sometimes, um, oh, my God, I have a friend in my work, okay?
09:03.0
And then, so, he knows that I'm, I'm, I'm still learning in English.
09:09.0
I, I told him, like, oh, I'm not that fluent in English.
09:12.0
That's why, you know, I barely talk, something kind of like that.
09:15.0
And then, no, it's fine, it's fine.
09:17.0
You're good, you're too good.
09:18.0
You know, the, you know, people here, they're building up your confidence to speak.
09:22.0
That's why, after, like, five months, after six months, you're good.
09:25.0
Like, even though you have a broken English, you know, if you have that confidence,
09:29.0
and then you're not too, you're thinking too much what you're gonna say,
09:33.0
I completely, like, straight English.
09:36.0
But sometimes, if I think, overthinking what I'm gonna say,
09:39.0
that's why I'm gonna stop, like, laughing, like, like, um, freezing my English.
09:45.0
And sometimes, they make fun, they, they laugh whenever I say something.
09:49.0
I'm like, okay, okay, my English, my English is missing.
09:52.0
My English is missing right now.
09:54.0
So, whenever I say that, they, they understand that I can speak and I can say something.
09:58.0
Because, I don't know, that's why I'm still, I'm still learning.
10:02.0
And then, I'm planning to, you know, to go back to school.
10:05.0
Just, you know, take the, the school, like, you know, take the English, English class here.
10:12.0
Not that you know, I don't know, but at least you have, like, like now,
10:17.0
I'm too much thinking what I'm gonna say.
10:19.0
I'm, I'm stopping, you know.
10:21.0
But, you know, I really, really want to be fluent in English.
10:25.0
So, I really, really want to talk, speak English, English so much.
10:30.0
Mostly, my accent, I really wanna, you know, because my accent is so, too strong.
10:36.0
So, I, so, back, back, back, back in my story, right, the driver in my work.
10:42.0
Um, I, I told him a some, um, um, um, one word.
10:50.0
And, he, he really don't understand what I'm saying.
10:54.0
Because, how I, I pronounce that word is too strong.
10:59.0
Because of, he, he, you know, I, I say something, uh, English word.
11:04.0
But, he legit don't understand what I'm saying.
11:06.0
Because, the accent, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, you need to be, like, have a little bit accent.
11:12.0
Not that's too strong.
11:14.0
Like, a little bit, like, slang a little bit, you know.
11:17.0
Because, um, like, English accent.
11:21.0
Because, sometimes, if your English is too strong, they can't, they don't understand what you're saying.
11:25.0
Like, the, even the English word, they don't.
11:29.0
Like, what, what, what is that?
11:31.0
I don't, I don't, I don't know what, what kind of word is that.
11:34.0
Because of how I pronounce that word.
11:36.0
That's why he's, he's, um, he, he hardly understand what I, what I'm trying to say.
11:43.0
But, and then, when my husband came, I told him, I told him, can you tell him what I'm trying to say?
11:48.0
And then, Kirby, tell him what I'm trying to say.
11:52.0
And, oh, and then, yeah, and then, after that, he, um, he teach me, like, the pronunciation, how to pronounce correctly.
11:59.0
So, you know, it's, so, I get used to it.
12:01.0
So, yeah, that's the, that's the words that, you know, I learn, like, cool.
12:06.0
I get used to it.
12:08.0
Before, I just, like, whenever they said, like, I get used to it.
12:11.0
What, what, what, what do you mean?
12:13.0
Because I don't understand.
12:14.0
It's, like, new to me.
12:15.0
Like, I get used to it.
12:16.0
Because, because in, in, in, in, in my understanding, like, if you do something that you're used to it, like, I always do that.
12:24.0
You know, like, like, like a basic word.
12:26.0
And then, I always go to Google.
12:28.0
Thanks to Google, you know.
12:30.0
Google helps me a lot to understand.
12:32.0
And, you know, understanding each other.
12:34.0
Whenever I don't understand and I, I, I wanna say something.
12:38.0
So, thanks to Google.
12:41.0
So, I hope you understand what I'm saying.
12:45.0
So, this is English, right?
12:47.0
So, what else I'm gonna share?
12:51.0
So, yeah, I'm cleaning my Dyson.
12:53.0
So, how to clean your Dyson?
12:55.0
You just, like, there's a brush thingy.
12:57.0
And just put it here and just, like, rub it like that.
13:00.0
Because there's a lot of dust.
13:02.0
Because it's, like, how long, how many, how, how long that I have this?
13:11.0
A year and something.
13:12.0
It's gonna be two years this year.
13:14.0
So, I barely clean this.
13:17.0
So, yeah, I learned that word to barely is, like, a little bit.
13:23.0
So, you know, it's fun.
13:26.0
And then, whenever I talk to my family, my sister in my country.
13:31.0
Because I, you know, I used to text English, too, now.
13:35.0
Compare my language.
13:38.0
Sometimes, I chat my friends in my country, in the Philippines.
13:43.0
And then, I chat them sometimes English, in English.
13:47.0
Because sometimes, it's easy for me to say what I want to say.
13:52.0
Because maybe, you know.
13:57.0
I just get used to it in, you know, English.
14:00.0
But it's not that, I'm not that fluent.
14:02.0
You know, that's my dream.
14:03.0
That's still my dream.
14:08.0
So, I'm four years now here.
14:10.0
So, I'm turning five years in here in US.
14:12.0
So, it's been a while that, you know, my English is still not that good.
14:19.0
Don't make fun of me.
14:20.0
Don't make fun of me.
14:21.0
I still am trying and you don't understand me.
14:28.0
I just cleaned my Dyson.
14:30.0
And then, I'm just turning on my camera.
14:32.0
And then, selling you a story.
14:35.0
Like what's going on here in the United States to me.
14:40.0
Like how's my English.
14:41.0
The update of my English.
14:45.0
It's better compared before that I really can talk.
14:48.0
Even though, you know, I can talk.
14:50.0
But I really can't like, you know, to speak out.
14:54.0
So, now I have a little bit confident to, you know, to say something to speak in English.
15:01.0
That would be it for this vlog.
