Get ready for the Monsters Learn English Show!
2
Hello, hello, and welcome to the Monsters Learn English Show.
3
Today's topic is Comparatives.
4
Before we begin, does anyone have a thermometer?
5
The sun and this lava are arguing about which of them is hotter.
6
Anyone?
7
Anyone?
8
Hey, who likes jokes?
9
Yeah!
10
Knock, knock.
11
Wet.
12
Wetter.
13
The band, everybody.
14
Anyway, do you know what an adjective is?
15
Yes, an adjective is a word that describes something.
16
And a comparative is an adjective that compares.
17
For example, let's compare the words glasses and spectacles.
18
Glasses is a long word.
19
Spectacles is a longer word.
20
When comparing, we often add an ER to the end of a word to make a new word.
21
Okay, let's compare again.
22
The blue mouse is small.
23
The red mouse is banana.
24
No?
25
Are you sure?
26
All right, I need to add an er.
27
Okay, how about the blue mouse is small.
28
The red mouse is banana-er.
29
Okay, okay.
30
How about the blue mouse is small, the red mouse is smaller.
31
One more thing.
32
When an adjective has a Y at the end, we change the Y to an I and then add ER.
33
For example, the red mouse is happy, the blue mouse is happier.
34
Oh great, now the sun and the lava are playing guitars and arguing about which one of them is hotter and louder.
35
Does anyone have a thermometer?
36
Or some earplugs?
37
Anyone?
38
The band everybody!
39
Now it's time for a word from our sponsor, Irregular Adjectives.
40
Irregular adjectives don't follow the rules.
41
When comparing something and using an irregular adjective, don't add ER.
42
For example, the word good doesn't change to gooder, it changes to better.
43
The word bad doesn't change to badder, it changes to worse.
44
Irregular adjectives, an important part of making English confusing for everyone.
45
Did you know that some other comparatives also don't use er?
46
words, especially longer words, use the word more before them instead of adding an er at the end.
47
For example, we would not say beautiful-er, we would say more beautiful.
48
Another example, we would not say exciting-er, we would say more exciting.
49
Okay, it's time for news about me.
50
Today I went shopping for some fruit.
51
The limes were expensiver than the lemons.
52
No, you mean more expensive.
53
It's now time for everybody's favorite part of the show.
54
It's quiz time.
55
Question number one.
56
I am gold, but my friend is more cold, banana or colder?
57
Okay, that one was easy.
58
This one's a little harder.
59
Question number two.
60
I am silly, but my friend is sillier with a Y,
61
sillier with an I, or more silly.
62
OK, this one is even harder.
63
Question number three.
64
I am interesting, but my friend is more interesting, interesting-er, or inter-er-er-er-esting-er-er?
65
Good job, everyone!
66
It is now time to meet our special guest.
67
Everyone, this is a two-headed monster!
68
So, two-headed monster, you sure are hairy.
69
Which of your heads do you think is hairy-er?
70
Oh, there's the music.
71
It looks like we are out of time to learn about comparative...
72
Oh, great.
73
Not you guys again.
74
I really don't know which one of you is more annoying.
75
And I'm not a single

¿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.
