Creando lección...
1
Yeah man, I used to just be on bike all day long back in the day, I had nothing else to do really.
2
and just ride around all day.
3
It's probably like a bit of a sense of nostalgia.
4
Yeah, it just reminds me of just being young, kind of like free.
5
Just...
6
I guess it just kind of brings that feeling.
7
I'm always thinking about the past, in a good way but in such a good way that I even miss the pain.
8
That's why I even try and tell people, like, just embrace the struggle, bro, because if one day it's going to be done, I look back on them times and actually somehow miss them still.
9
But yeah, I miss everything.
10
Even when I'm doing music I'm relaxing, it's all kind of just one, it's all kind of one, I'm always relaxed.
11
I was saying it to someone the other day, I think they were asking me how does it feel like being on stage and stuff like that.
12
But like I told them that I don't get high off it, I'm calm innit and I come off stage and I'm calm.
13
Before stage I'm calm.
14
I need my people with me though, same time.
15
I've done a few stretches of shows that I've been by myself and it's calm as well but, I much prefer when I've got my brothers with me.
16
It makes it feel less like a job and more like a celebration or having fun.
17
What are we doing?
18
You know, Smad, yeah, I grew up in the city, but when I was young, my mum, she used to try and like, take us out to the nature.
19
I used to hate it.
20
I used to hate getting dirty.
21
All them like, you know, even kiddie games, like the sandpit and I hated the nature, but now that as I grew up, I don't know, I developed a love for it though, I prefer it.
22
I was talking about this with the guys the other day, kind of about where do they think the best nature is, you know?
23
and unpopular opinion.
24
I like the UK, you know.
25
UK countryside, I actually like it.
26
I don't know.
27
I've been a lot of places.
28
Obviously, the weather's better in certain places.
29
Jamaica's nice but I'll just be in the countryside in Great Britain.
30
Maybe it's like the nostalgia.
31
I think I've got a nostalgia problem.
32
I don't know.
33
What is nostalgia?
34
It's like a disease or something.
35
It's not just...
36
It's just a feeling, innit?
37
Favourite place to ride my bike, luckily, I can't live, just in my garden, you know?
38
Got space still, man.
39
Just rip it up and down the garden.
40
It's kind of like therapeutics, like.
41
How do I balance my online and my offline life?
42
I don't know, my screen time's high.
43
Yeah, it's a bit unhealthy, but there's a clear separation though.
44
Like, my online life is definitely work, innit?
45
I definitely feel like a healthy imposter syndrome.
46
Like, that's not really me, innit?
47
My phone is my phone.
48
My handle is.. is...
49
It's central seeing it but like, that's, I don't know.
50
I've got a whole next thing going on like off the phone.
51
I'm saying it and I feel like I sound like I'm capping but it's in my bio, it says it's not real life and it's not on the gram, you'll see everything clean but it's good for them to know.
52
That's not the case, isn't it?
53
24s.
54
The gram is the gram.
55
Don't look up to me too much.
56
Don't try too hard to chase it and whatnot.
57
It's unattainable because that's not even the life that I live.
58
More time off camera, you'll see me, I'm chilling.
59
It's not lifestyle every day.
60
That's all it is, that's my only advice.
61
I kind of just say, live yours anytime someone asks me for some advice.
62
It's very vague, but it goes such a long way.
63
Yeah, don't try and live mine and likewise to any other person that you see in the public eye.
64
Yeah, don't, don't, don't.
65
Like, die trying to live someone else's life, innit?
66
What's it like being on the cover of British Vogue?
67
I don't know, it's hard, man.
68
It's big, innit?
69
It's like legendary kind of thing.
70
That's something that I'd put on my wall.
71
Yeah, not everyone's got cover of Vogue, so I'll frame that, I'll put that on the wall still.
72
That's hard.
73
Yeah, all of that's just a bonus now.
74
I've done what I needed to do.
75
changed my family's life, and I was like, that's it.
76
That's all I wanted to do.
77
Everything else is a bonus now, innit?
78
This summer will be the first time I've got time to actually even enjoy the fruits of my labour.
79
The last three years since I've blown up, I've been working so hard.
80
I think two years ago, I did 200 shows in one year.
81
So I literally never got to go home.
82
You slow down on the shows and I'm going to be working on the music side of things and whatever.
83
So that gives me a bit of time to just enjoy what I've actually created
84
and be in one place for longer than a few days.
85
And yeah, we'll see, we'll see, innit?
86
We'll definitely be riding bikes though.

¿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.
