Um, welcome.

What are you cooking?

I'm cooking Vietnamese comfort food.

It's a catfish braised in a clay pot, and I pickled vegetables to go with it and some rice.

Okay.

Okay.
41
Christine, you've got five minutes to complete that dish.
42

50
Christine?

Were you born blind?
53
No, no, chef.
54
When I was, maybe about ten years ago, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that affected my nerves,
55
my spinal cord and my optic nerves, and so I lost my vision gradually over the past ten years.
56
In your mind, you're visualizing what you put on a plate.
57
Yes, that's correct.
58
You know, I felt the plate and things like that before, and a lot of it is obvious by memory.
59
Do you ever think that your disability somehow could be an advantage in a competition like this
60
or just in cooking in general?
61
Yes, chef.

Please excuse my chewing.

Yes, it is.

Because I can't see, I won't be worrying about what other people are doing.
65
I love the fact that you're tasting everything.
66
I have to.
67
I can't see.
68
One of my teaching methods with young chefs today is that we put a blindfold on them and they understand the texture,
69
the taste, which is accelerated quicker when your eyes are closed and you're concentrating purely on the senses.
70
Yes, correct, chef.
71
I'm gonna do it.
72
My rice did not turn out to par, so I'm not serving it to you.
73
Okay, I guess I'm done.
74
Thank you.
75
The catfish, how did you cook it?
76
With some caramel that I made by just caramelizing sugar on the stove and using coconut soda as well.
77
And with shallots and garlic.
78
And the base of the broth is made up of what?
79
Fish sauce.
80
I love the fact that you kept the fish on the bone.
81
Why?
82
Catfish is just, it's really tender and I didn't want to pick it apart and make it look unappetizing, so I left it as a steak.
83
I think it looks more appealing and that's just the way Vietnamese people eat.
84
You know, you're gonna be judged like everybody else in this competition.
85
Yes, chef.
86
Um, the dish does need the sort of stability.
87
It's a staple done beautifully, but missing the rice.
88
Yes, chef, I understand.
89
I'm sorry.
90
Thank you.
91
Thank you.
92
So, what's the idea behind cooking it in the clay pot?
93
It's supposed to aid with the, uh, quicker caramelization and braising of the, uh, product you put inside, chef.
94
Okay.
95
It's got a beautiful aroma.
96
Thank you, chef.
97
Okay.
98
Well, thank you so much.
99
Thank you, Chef.

104
You have a great advantage.
105
As you talk about your food, not only are you able to express it in words, but your face speaks volumes.
106
Yes.
107
Your eyes beam with happiness and pride and passion.
108
And you have a lot to be proud of.
109
Thank you, sir.
110
It's an amazing, amazing accomplishment.
111
Thank you, sir.

100% yes.
115
Thank you, sir.
116
Graham, yes or no?
117
Um, everybody has a story and has things that they have to overcome.
118
Judge solely on that dish.
119
Yes, chef.
120
I'm a yes.
121
Oh, God.
122
Thank you, chef.
123
Your personal challenge aside, for me, that's one of the most delicious dishes I've tasted in this competition so far.
124
Do you know what I'm gonna give you?
125
A white apron.
126
A white apron.
127
Congratulations.

For everyone in America, you can overcome anything you want to overcome

Gramática en este vídeo

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

EstructuraEn el vídeo
Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahoraI've set · we've never had · I've heard
Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hacewas diagnosed · is accelerated · is made

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 36 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I'm, can't, you're. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: chef /ʃɛf/, dish /dɪʃ/, catfish /ˈkætfɪʃ/, shallot /ˈʃælət/, visualize /ˈvɪʒuəˌlaɪz/
  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: disability /dɪsəˈbɪlɪti/, caramelize /ˈkaɹ(ə)məlʌɪz/, accelerate /ɪkˈsɛl.əˌɹeɪt/, accomplishment /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ.mənt/, beautifully /ˈbju.tɪ.fə.li/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: staple /ˈsteɪ.pəl/, stove /stoʊv/, spinal /spaɪ.nəl/, steak /steɪk/, stability /stəˈbɪlɪti/
  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: overcome /ˌəʊ.vəˈkʌm/, nerve /nɝv/, visualize /ˈvɪʒuəˌlaɪz/, stove /stoʊv/, vegetable /ˈvɛd͡ʒ.tə.bəl/
  • /z/ — sonora, no /s/: braise /bɹeɪz/, caramelize /ˈkaɹ(ə)məlʌɪz/, visualize /ˈvɪʒuəˌlaɪz/

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 chef, apron, dish.

¿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.
