I was in there for, I don't know, half an hour? And?

What did they say?

Oh yeah, um, let's see.

Yes, so I was in the museum and there were, I don't know, a hundred people waiting to get into the room.
19
Finally, I got in and I tried to see the Mona Lisa but I couldn't look at it.
20
Why not?

Because the room was filled with people taking photographs of it.
22
Oh, right.
23
Yes, and selfies.
24
Wait a minute.
25
You can take photos while you're in there.
26
Yes, but you can't use flash.

I don't know.

Why do we take photos of everything we see when we travel?

I know, and we never look at the photos after.

I'm tired of always taking photos.

I don't feel I'm enjoying things.

Nothing changes.

Very funny.

You look very young though.

I know.

Look at my hair.

It was so long.
44
Mine too.

Look at me.

Hey, I think I know who took this photo. Who?
47
Was it Dad?
48
No, it wasn't Dad or Mum.
49
Do you remember Barry?
50
No. Yes, yes, you do remember.
51
Barry, your boyfriend at high school?
52
You were 17 and he was 16, and he was so very polite.

Hello, I'm Barry.

It's very nice to meet you.
55
Stop it!

He was nice.
57
Yeah, well, he took the photo.
58
D. Let's see.
59
Okay.
60
I'm glad we could talk about this.
61
It's not easy to say.
62
What?
63
Well, you're not in our group for the class project.
64
What do you mean?
65
You know I'm always in a group with you.
66
I know.
67
It's just that this time...
68
This time we made the group differently and because you were late.
69
I see.
70
You don't want me in the group.
71
No, no, it isn't that.
72
It's that we've already made the group, see?
73
There's four of us already.
74
So, we can't be a group of five?
75
Well, the teacher said four people per group.
76
Uh...
77
It's not about you or your work or anything like that.
78
It's...
79
Uh...
80
Well, we already have the group.
81
So I have to find another group.
82
I'm sorry.

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: travel /ˈtɹævəl/, interview /ˈɪn.tə.vjuː/
  • /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: hello /hɛˈloʊ/, hundred /ˈhʌn.dɹəd/

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 flash, differently, photograph.

¿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.
