Hello, I'm Sheldon Cooper and this is Why Sheldon Cooper Should Go to College.

I realize attending college in another state or country is unrealistic at this time.

Please.

I'm pretty sure he's already smarter than me.

It's true.
81
Sheldon Cooper.
82
Ready for college, ready to change the world.

Cut.

87
What are you talking about?
88
I'm a scientist, and I have to follow the data wherever it leads,
89
whether I like it or not.
90
Get to the point?
91
It seems I have a crush on you.
92
What?
93
I'm as surprised as you are,
94
but I have all the symptoms according to both Dr. Sturgis and the editors of Sassy Magazine.
95
Sheldon, I'm really glad that you told me this, because...
96
The truth is, I feel the same way about you.
97
You do?
98
I mean, I've been trying to hide it,
99
but now I don't have to anymore.
100
This is such a relief.
101
Oh, dear.
102
This is new information.
103
I've been operating under the assumption that my crush was unrequited.
104
Oh, it's requited, Sheldon.
105
It's very requited.
106
Hm.
107
What are you doing?
108
We have a crush on each other. So...
109
now we have to kiss.
110
We do?
111
Hello.
112
I'm not very comfortable speaking in front of crowds.
113
But there's a technique to reduce stage fright
114
by focusing on one person in the audience and delivering your speech just to them.
115
That's what I'll be doing today.
116
If it weren't for this person,
117
I wouldn't be here right now.
118
They've taught me a lot,
119
and it's by their example that I've found the courage to move forward into this new and exciting chapter of my life.
120
Missy, this is for you.
121
Change can be scary, but I know we're going to be fine.
122
Because like you said, it's okay to be scared.
123
We just have to do it anyway.
124
So if any of my fellow graduates are nervous about the future,
125
know that you're not alone.
126
I suggest you all try to be as brave as my twin sister.
127
That's my plan.
128
Missy, I wish I could give you advice about middle school,
129
but I was so smart I skipped it.
130
If you make it to high school, we'll talk.
131
Thank you.
132
Thank you.

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 38 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I'm, don't, I've. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: crush /kɹʌʃ/, expiration /ˌɛk.spɚˈeɪ̯.ʃən/, assure /əˈʃʊɹ/, assumption /əˈsʌm(p).ʃ(ə)n/, acquisition /ˌæk.wɪˈzɪʃ.ən/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: slap /slæp/, scare /skɛɚ/, skip /skɪp/
  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: festivity /fɛˈstɪvəti/, overdue /ˌoʊ.vəɹˈdu/, convince /kənˈvɪns/, wherever /(h)wɛɹˈɛvɚ/
  • /z/ — sonora, no /s/: propose /pɹəˈpəʊz/, acquisition /ˌæk.wɪˈzɪʃ.ən/

¿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.
