Creando lección...
1
Coffee is available everywhere in Japan, but the most unique place is the Kisaten or coffee shop.
2
Entering the world of the Japanese Kisaten is to take a step back in time, to an era when coffee was a simpler, more personal business.
3
The old-fashioned Tokyo coffee shop is still somewhere to read newspapers, chat to the proprietor and see regular faces.
4
Kimorya Parlor in Shinbashi, unchanged for years, still serves the classic Kisaten food menu,
5
a cuisine of its own that features such nostalgic delights as Neapolitan tomato spaghetti and melon soda.
6
Kisaten have been around since the end of the 19th century, and today there are still 70,000 across Japan.
7
Originally, the coffee shop was a centre of innovation, a place for people to meet and talk about new ideas.
8
Ladrio, which opened in Jimbocho in 1949, takes credit for bringing the Vienna coffee to Japan.
9
Today, Kisaten often provide a comforting haven from a changing world.
10
Some Kisaten have their particular selling point, books or classical music or jazz, and always a good cup of coffee.
11
For many coffee lovers, Café de L'Homme in Ginza is a place of pilgrimage.
12
The coffee is made as it has been for decades, not with fancy machines, but with hot water poured through a cloth filter.
13
The owner, Ichiro Sekiguchi, is 100 now, but he still comes to work and roasts the beans at the front of the cafe he has been running since 1948.
14
The Café Blanc et Noir, a sweet chilled confection, is made from fresh coffee rolled over a block of ice in a cocktail shaker.
15
Lawn, close to Yotsuya Station, is the classic city coffee shop, serving well-made coffee and a superior egg sandwich.
16
The interior hasn't changed since the 1960s, 1960s when the owner Hiroaki Ogura's father was still in charge.
17
The pink telephone, once a standard feature of Tokyo cafes, still works.
18
In a crowded city, Kisaten provides somewhere to drink a coffee and read in peace or meet friends, frequently in a fog of smoke.
19
Stone, in the heart of busy Yurakacho, has been serving coffee to office workers for nearly 50 years.
20
Masayo Okamura's grandmother started the cafe.
21
Her family ran a stone business which explains the cafe's name and interior.
22
In spite of the long hours, Okamura takes pride in giving her customers a warm welcome.
23
At Kisa U, next to the Kabuki Theatre in Ginza, theatre-goers and Kabuki actors come in for the famous om-rice,
24
an omelette filled with rice and topped with tomato ketchup.
25
Kisa 10 can be different things to different people.
26
They offer somewhere to go whether you're seeking solitude, company or somewhere to talk.
27
And they give a personal touch that no modern chain can rival.

¿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.
