1
The best way to improve your English is to immerse yourself into English speaking environment.
2
But if you live far away from English speakers, you can do these two things.
3
Number one, listen, so your brain would get used to understanding English.
4
And number two,
5
speak, which means pause this video every five seconds and repeat everything we say with exactly the same tone and pronunciation.

7
Easy!
8
I love your name!
9
Hey, good to see you!
10
Yeah, you too!
11
So, where are we heading to?
12
So, we can pass by all of the main monuments, like the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, everything.
13
Excellent!
14
Let's do that!
15
Hey, Dad!
16
Heading to school!
17
Maybe lunch.
18
Wrap it up.
19
Let's start talking about you.
20
I love your name.
21
Easy sounds so easy to remember.
22
Yeah.
23
My name is Isabel, and Izzy is a nickname for Isabel.
24
Ooh, that makes a ton of sense.
25
I mean, I know it's corporate, but...
26
No, that...
27
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, actually.
28
Where are you originally from?
29
I'm from Seattle in Washington state.
30
Seattle, Washington.
31
Ooh, one of the most rainy states in the US, right?
32
Yes, that's true.
33
Have you ever been?
34
Yes, I spent quite a few days, maybe months, a couple of months probably in Seattle.
35
But I live in Los Angeles, at least I used to live in Los Angeles, California.
36
What made you take the plunge and come to Italy as an au pair, if I pronounce it right?
37
Look, I know you're nervous, but you just gotta take the plunge.
38
Yeah, so first I was an exchange student in high school
39
when I was 16 yeah and I decided to come on exchange
40
because I love traveling and learning languages yeah
41
and then I fell in love with the culture
42
so I decided to move back for university
43
so I graduated in May with a degree in languages oh wow
44
and then every summer I work as an au pair in the south of Italy yeah
45
so are you a linguist we could say
46
that yes that's cool what languages do you speak I speak English Italian Spanish
47
and a little bit of French oh wow
48
you're definitely a linguist what made you fall in love with learning languages i've traveled from a young age
49
and i just was very interested in hearing yeah people speak other languages
50
and learning about other cultures why like society tells us who we can fall in love with
51
and how we should fall in love with them
52
but we can fall in love with anyone i think
53
it's a great way to be able to find out new things is by learning other languages that's
54
so true and when did you start traveling i've always traveled from a young age with my parents.
55
They made it very important during my childhood to take me and my sister with them when they traveled abroad.
56
Yeah.
57
So ever since I was little.
58
Do you think you made a really positive impact?
59
Definitely, yes.
60
That it can really make a positive impact on this town and beyond.
61
I love traveling.
62
Nice, that's awesome.
63
How many countries have you been to?
64
I think around 15.
65
15?
66
Wow.
67
Being in Italy is nice because it's easy to travel around to other European countries.
68
Yeah.
69
With discount airlines and things.
70
What was the cheapest flight that you got so far?
71
Maybe 15 euros to go to Sicily.
72
Tell me, what do you like the most about Italy?
73
I think the people are very welcoming.
74
Yeah. And warm.
75
It's just in their culture.
76
I wanted to feel I feel welcoming and warm the way you do at Christmas.
77
The culture, there's so much history,
78
because in the US, we don't have all of this history that you can see like on the street. So true.
79
When you come to Italy, I feel like you can smell the history.
80
Yeah.
81
And every single building is quite old, which is fascinating.
82
But in the US, we build them, we tear them down because they're old.
83
And that's pretty much the cycle that we go through.
84
So you know they're gonna try and come to us and try to tear them down.
85
So you came through au pair.
86
What is au pair?
87
I feel like half of the world does not know what au pair means.
88
So au pair is like a babysitter that lives with the family
89
and takes care of the kids and then in my case I came also to teach the kids English.
90
Family takes care of family.
91
So it's a kind of a cultural exchange.
92
Yeah.
93
And a little job to earn some money.
94
Oh wow, so you're an english teacher as well
95
i'm studying to be an english teacher yes i start my master next week whoa that's great
96
I've decided to go back to school in the fall to get my master's degree.
97
On every single video, I ask people to leave a comment below and answer one question.
98
And I, if we get 400 comments, I randomly pick a comment and I send them $100 prize.
99
So now I'm going to ask you, what would you like to find out about people from more than 137 countries around the world?
100
Okay, something personal for everyone.
101
One thing that was a culture shock for me in Italy was the time that they eat dinner.
102
I don't know, I kind of have to agree with Leanne.
103
Moving from the city to all this is quite the culture shock.
104
Because in the US we eat dinner at 6 pm.
105
In Italy they eat dinner around 8 or 9 pm.
106
So let's ask everyone what time do you eat dinner in your country?
107
That's a great question.
108
When do you guys eat dinner in your country? leave a comment right below this video
109
and you will have a chance to win 100 just like this guy won right here
110
what do you think is the best way to learn english for a teenager or an adult
111
obviously the best way is to move to a country where they speak it
112
but if you can't do that i I think watching TV shows and listening to music, watching YouTube videos is very useful.
113
Just like this one.
114
So if you are enjoying this video, hit the like button below right now and subscribe to our channel.
115
Let's imagine people are watching video and they got really good at listening.
116
What's the next natural step to progress?
117
I would say to practice speaking.
118
And one problem with learning another language is you're maybe scared to speak with native speakers, you're afraid to mess up.
119
So my advice would be to record yourself on your phone speaking.
120
That way you can go back and listen to your pronunciation without having to worry about speaking in front of someone else.
121
That's brilliant.
122
I love that.
123
Monsters like you have everything.
124
You don't have to be good.
125
You can mess up over and over again and the whole world loves you.
126
Mike.
127
Step number one, if you're shy to speak to different people, simply record yourself on a video and watch yourself.
128
Step number two, when you are ready, For people specifically from our YouTube channel,
129
I have created a platform where we connect people from all around the world, especially our subscribers, and they can practice English speaking with each other.
130
So pretty much you make international friends every single day.
131
It's all online from your bedroom.
132
We just need to communicate with each other and trust the decision.
133
That's it.
134
And it's called Foxyou .com and you can see all of these people having a ton of fun.
135
So if you want to start practicing speaking completely for free, simply follow this link right here or the one right below this video.
136
So what do you think about grammar in a school program?
137
How useful it is at that moment?
138
I think grammar is definitely important.
139
Absolutely.
140
Getting the basics down first is probably the most important thing and then worrying about the little details later.
141
Exactly, so true, so true.
142
What do you do that immediately gives away that you are an American?
143
I don't blow dry my hair after the shower.
144
You were gonna squish the queen.
145
It's true.
146
I hate it when someone gives away the ending.
147
I leave it wet.
148
Yeah.
149
And that's a big no in Italy.
150
Oh wow.
151
And for breakfast, I don't like sweet things.
152
Like here, the typical breakfast is a croissant and a cappuccino.
153
I don't like coffee and I don't like sweet things at breakfast.
154
Oh, wow.
155
Tell me about Italians.
156
Do you have Italian friends here?
157
Yes, all my friends are Italian.
158
Oh, nice.
159
What's the biggest cultural difference between
160
Americans and Italian?
161
Italians are very affectionate.
162
So to greet each other, they do the kisses on the cheek.
163
They're always like hugging, kissing.
164
It's a very touchy culture.
165
Yeah.
166
You were so affectionate, but then you would withhold that whenever I did something wrong.
167
How do you feel about it as an American?
168
Because you're coming from a completely different culture.
169
And when I met you, I felt like, okay, it's an American hug.
170
It's not what we do in Italy or Argentina or Brazil.
171
I've gotten used to it.
172
It took time to get used to, that's for sure.
173
Have you already blend in into Italian culture?
174
I try to because I don't like to be the American in Italy.
175
I like to blend in and look like a local, so I try.
176
I can blend in.
177
I'm an imperial droid.
178
The city is under imperial occupation.
179
The people are very welcoming.
180
I would say that's the number one thing.
181
I had a really easy time making friends and I felt very welcome even though I'm far away from my family.
182
I found a family here.
183
Wow, that's awesome now we're arriving at the shrubby fountain it looks like the one
184
that we have in um in vegas right you Las Vegas.
185
A lot of people come here at 3 in the morning so that it's empty, but there's always people here.
186
Wow.
187
Probably they don't even go to bed.
188
Exactly.
189
That's pretty cool.
190
And since this channel is a comprehensible input English, how would you describe this beauty right here?
191
Give me your best description.
192
It's very detailed and magnificent.
193
Magnificent.
194
That's a good word for it.
195
Uh, Princess Jasmine?
196
You're very wonderful, magnificent, glorious, punctual.
197
Punctual.
198
Punctual, sorry.
199
Bigger than you expect it to be when you're in person.
200
It's very detailed.
201
Oh, wow.
202
Definitely magnificent is a great word for it.
203
I love it.
204
Here's the pantheon.
205
Wow.
206
Holy fox.
207
You just come around the corner and then boom.
208
That's insane.
209
Where should we go?
210
Around the corner.
211
Around the corner?
212
Okay, got it.
213
Wow, look at the size.
214
Yo, people from all around the world, look at it and tell me, how would you describe this beauty right here?
215
Leave a comment right below this video.
216
It's so ancient.
217
I can see those blocks right there.
218
I can imagine how people were bringing those blocks all the way to the top
219
of this building you just keep on climbing all the way to the top
220
absolutely let's let me grab it thank you
221
so much i'm going to get you a lot of girls right here
222
so number one let's think she was a person selling roses have a safe flight
223
this is how we're going to rock
224
it now we're going to give these flowers to all the girls passing by and guys there we go
225
She's looking at us.
226
Excuse me, lady.
227
That's for you.
228
You have an amazing rest of your day.
229
How does your family feel about you leaving your home and coming to Italy while you're a teenager?
230
They have always supported my journey to Italy and are happy that I'm following my dream, but of course they're sad that I'm far away.
231
But they always have an excuse to come to Italy on vacation now. So true.
232
The family and I will move on tomorrow, far away from here.
233
That's a pretty positive way of thinking about it.
234
But I'm very fortunate that they've always supported me.
235
When I first came as an exchange student when I was 16,
236
they told me maybe wait until you're in university so you can study abroad when you're older.
237
And then I convinced them.
238
So it worked out.
239
And do you miss your friends in the US?
240
Yes, of course.
241
I do miss my friends and family.
242
But that's what you have to sacrifice when you move abroad.
243
It's worth it.
244
It is definitely worth it.
245
Hey, is it worth it?
246
Oh, yeah, it's worth it. If you're strong enough.
247
Then you make new friends and you have a new life, new language, new culture.
248
I love living in a place where they have a different culture, different language yeah and immerse myself it's a really great experience
249
and what's your favorite phrase in italian my favorite word in italian is which means carefree carefully carefree
250
you don't have any cares oh wow and you're just living with yeah that's cool and you also speak Spanish right?
251
Yes.
252
Excuse me lady, this is for you.
253
You had amazing.
254
No, I have to go to work.
255
It's okay.
256
Okay, give somebody else.
257
You got it.
258
She was like she wanted to take it and she was thinking about it.
259
I think Spanish and Italian are the most beautiful languages in the world. So true.
260
I would agree with you if I would not speak Brazilian Portuguese.
261
I love both of these languages to be honest.
262
Spanish, especially Spanish, Italian as well, but Brazilian Portuguese,
263
portuguese oh my gosh okay let's actually have a battle right here okay why do you think italian
264
and spanish are two the most beautiful languages in the world it sounds like a song
265
or like you're singing when you speak the languages i love
266
that i got you on my skin now why do you make it
267
so hard that sounds like a song have you heard brazilian portuguese only a little bit okay can you say hi
268
Hi, my name is Izzy, nice to meet you in Italian.
269
Perfect, now can you say it in Spanish?
270
Hola, me llamo Izzy, encantada.
271
Now I'm going to say it in Portuguese.
272
Beleza, mio nome è o Sergi, molto prazer!
273
It sounds very different.
274
Yeah.
275
Which out of these three languages sounds the most beautiful to you?
276
Thank you.
277
And give us a list of three, like put a number one, number two, and number three.
278
My numbers are Brazilian Portuguese, number one, Spanish, number two, Italian, number three.
279
What do you think?
280
Mine is number one, Italian, number two, Spanish, number three, Brazilian Portuguese.
281
Yay, completely the other way around.
282
We'll see what they think.
283
This is the greatest yarn in journalism since Livingston discovered Stanley.
284
The other way around.
285
Oh, well, don't get technical at a time like this.
286
You realize what you've done, honey.
287
And in Italy, there are also different dialects.
288
So in different regions of Italy they speak different dialects.
289
Some of them are actual languages, like in Naples there's Neapolitan, which is its own language.
290
And then in other regions it's just, it's similar to Italian.
291
Maybe some words are different, it depends on the region here in Rome.
292
It's very similar to Italian.
293
Is that what I think it is?
294
Depends on what you think it is.
295
It's not really its own language.
296
Oh wow!
297
Yeah, I was in Catania and the girl was telling me that...
298
That Catanian dialect is quite different from Northern Italian dialect.
299
And a lot of times we will be like, what does that mean?
300
For example, in Rome, so in Italian, let's go is andiamo.
301
But in Roman dialect, it's namo.
302
Aniamo or namo.
303
So in Roman, they just shorten the words basically.
304
Yeah, fair enough.
305
Just like Americans.
306
Fair enough, Mr. Tolson.
307
fair enough good morning lady excuse me that's for you i hope you're enjoying this morning
308
and let's imagine you have graduated you finished your program you finished your university

319

320

322
i think it sounds like latin can you translate it play
323
it again excuse me guys do you speak english yeah perfect
324
can i ask you a couple questions excellent what are the norms
325
or standards of physical exercises for military to to become a
326
military person for example how many pull -ups how many
327
push -ups do you have to do 30 push -ups 30
328
push -ups 40 sit up drop down give me 30 sit up right
329
now let's go count them in let me see
330
that belly roll one pull -ups uh it's uh if you want to uh or increments your points,
331
you can do it.
332
But it's not required.
333
Yeah, exactly.
334
Excellent.
335
Well, thank you so much for an amazing rest of the day.
336
I always wondered, because I've been working out my entire life.
337
Like almost every morning I wake up, I do 100 pushups.
338
Shaggy, you'll make a great gym teacher and I'll make a great assistant.
339
See, I've been working out.
340
Not 30, but I guess that's still good to have some standards.
341
Because in a lot of countries, you can see police officers or military folks with big bellies like this.
342
And they're completely out of shape.
343
And I'm like, okay.
344
I'm out of shape.
345
Oh, is it a breakfast time?
346
Breakfast time.

349
Yeah, I love it.
350
If the whole world could see right now through this camera right here, what would you share with them?
351
Is there something, some piece of wisdom that you always wanted to share with the whole world?
352
Always follow your dreams

354
and do what you love and hit the like button below
355
and I'll see you on the next video
356

¿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.
