41
just as you are, without having to make changes for others.
42
If you feel that you have to change to maintain a relationship,
43
if that change is always one-sided,
44
then the relationship might need to be given some consideration.
45
and do not, not automatically take the blame and punish yourself for any of the things that they have done.
46
Yeah, some of us find that hard to do.

your wishes, you are considered.

58
Establishing them is one thing.

61
And if there would be any opportunity that you might feel you would allow those boundaries to fall.
62
But put yourself, your considerations, top of the pile.
63
that's not selfish it really isn't though many people think it is it's self-caring self-nurturing
64
and boy if those others aren't doing it you must you really must on

Gramática en este vídeo

Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:

EstructuraEn el vídeo
Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo haceis written · be given · might be tempted
Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahoraI've read · has affected · I've actually jotted

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 8 contracciones y formas reducidas, como don't, I've, aren't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: punish /ˈpʌnɪʃ/, selfish /ˈsɛlf.ɪʃ/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: invert /ɪnˈvɜɹt/, perceive /pɚˈsiv/, forgiveness /fɚˈɡɪvnəs/
  • /z/ — sonora, no /s/: theirs /ðɛɚz/, pause /pɔːz/
  • /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: harden /ˈhɑɹdn̩/, beforehand /bɪˈfɔɹhænd/, heal /ˈhiːl/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como boundary, invert, misunderstand.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
