Hello?
2
Mm?
3
Vanny, it's Céline.
4
Ah.
5
How are you?
6
It's fine. And you?
7
It's amazing.
8
I've been working on my English recently.
9
Would you want to talk in English just for laughs?
10
Yeah, okay.
11
That's a good idea.
12
Um, I don't think I'm going to be able to make it for lunch today.
13
I'm sorry.
14
I...
15
I met a guy on the train and I got off with him in Vienna.
16
We're still there.
17
Are you crazy?
18
Probably.
19
He's Austrian?
20
He's from there?
21
No, no, no, no. He's passing through here, too.
22
He's American.
23
He's going back home tomorrow morning.
24
Why'd you get off the train with him?
25
Well, he convinced me.
26
I mean, actually, I was...
27
I was ready to get off the train with him after talking to him a short while.
28
He was so sweet, I couldn't help it.
29
We were in the lunch car, and he began to talk about him as a little boy seeing his great-grandmother's ghost.
30
I think that's when I fell for him.
31
Just the idea of this little boy with all those beautiful dreams.
32
He trapped me.
33
Mm-hmm. And he's so cute.
34
He has beautiful blue eyes, nice pink lips, greasy hair.
35
I love it.
36
He's kind of tall and he's a little clumsy.
37
I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away.
38
He kind of kisses like an adolescent.
39
It's so cute.
40
What?
41
Yeah, we kissed.
42
It was so adorable.
43
As the night went on, I began to like him more and more.
44
But I'm afraid he's scared of me.
45
You know, I told him the story about the woman that kills her ex-boyfriend and stuff and stuff, you must be scared to death.
46
You must be thinking I'm this manipulative, mean woman.
47
I just hope he doesn't feel that way about me.
48
Because you know me, I'm the most harmless person.
49
The only person I could really hurt is myself.
50
I don't think he's scared of you.
51
I think he's crazy about you.
52
Really?
53
I mean, I've known you a long time, and I got a good feeling.
54
You gonna see him again?
55
We haven't talked about that yet.
56
Okay, it's your turn.
57
You call your friend.
58
Okay?
59
Uh, all right, all right.
60
Um...
61
Uh.. ring, ring, ring.
62
I usually get this guy's answering machine.
63
Brrring!
64
Hi, dude.
65
What's up?
66
Uh...
67
Hey, Frank.
68
How you been?
69
Glad you're home.
70
Cool.
71
Yeah.
72
So how was Madrid?
73
Uh, Madrid sucked.
74
Uh, you know, Lisa and I had our long-overdue meltdown.
75
Oh, too bad.
76
I told you, no?
77
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
78
The long-distance thing just never works.
79
I was only in Madrid for a couple days.
80
I got a cheaper flight out of Vienna, but, uh...
81
You know, it really wasn't that much cheaper.
82
I just, uh...
83
I couldn't go home right away.
84
I didn't want to see anybody I knew.
85
I just wanted to be a ghost, completely anonymous.
86
Hmm.
87
So are you okay now?
88
Yeah.
89
Yeah, no, no, yeah.
90
I'm great.
91
I'm great.
92
That's the thing.
93
I'm...
94
I'm rapturous.
95
And I'll tell you why.
96
I met somebody on my last night in Europe.
97
Can you believe that?
98
That's incredible.
99
I know.
100
I know.
101
And you know how they say we're all each other's demons and angels?
102
Well, she was literally a Botticelli angel.
103
Just telling me that everything was gonna be okay.
104
How did you meet? On the train.
105
Yeah, she was sitting next to this very weird couple that started fighting, so she had to move.
106
She sat right across the aisle from me.
107
So we started to talk, and she didn't like me much at first.
108
She's super smart, very passionate, um, and beautiful.
109
And I was so unsure of myself.
110
I thought everything I said sounded so stupid.
111
That's so stupid.
112
Oh, man.
113
I wouldn't worry about that.
114
No?
115
No, I'm sure she was not judging you.
116
No, and by the way, she sat next to you, no?
117
I'm sure she did it in purpose.
118
Oh, yeah?
119
Yeah.

¿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.
