1
Yeah.
2
Yeah.
3
I mean, it's actually kind of funny.
4
Like, you know, if you think, like, what is education?
5
Like, you're basically downloading data and algorithms into your brain.
6
And it's actually amazingly bad in conventional education.
7
Because, like, it shouldn't be like this huge chore.
8
Like, the more you can gamify the process of learning, the better.
9
Like, for my kids, I do not have to encourage them to play video games.
10
Yeah.
11
Yeah.
12
I have to, like, pry them from their hands.
13
Like, crack.
14
Yes.
15
Yes like, drop that crack needle.
16
Yeah, yeah.
17
You have that problem at your house too.
18
Yeah, exactly.
19
The crack is a dick.
20
And I think, unfortunately, a lot of education is very vaudevillian.
21
You've got someone standing up there,
22
kind of lecturing at people.
23
And they've done the same lecture 20 years in a row.
24
And they're not very excited about it.
25
And that enthusiasm is conveyed to the students.
26
They're not very excited about it.
27
They don't know why they're there.
28
Like, why are we learning this stuff?
29
We don't even know why.
30
In fact, I think a lot of things people learn,
31
probably there's no point in learning them.
32
Because they never use them in the future.
33
Because who's going to launch a rocket into space?
34
I mean, that's just like, yeah, exactly.
35
That never happens.
36
Well, you have to say,
37
people, I think, don't stand back and say,
38
well, why are we teaching people these things?
39
And we should tell them probably why we're teaching these things.
40
Because a lot of kids just in school kind of puzzled as to why they're there.
41
I think if you can explain the why of things,
42
then that makes a huge difference to people's motivation.
43
They understand purpose.
44
So I think that's pretty important and just make it entertaining.
45
But I think just in general,
46
like conventional education should be massively overhauled.
47
I'm sure you very much agree with that.
48
I mean, the analogy I sometimes use is,
49
you've seen Batman, the Chris Nolan movie,
50
like the recent one, and it's pretty freaking awesome, right?
51
And you've got incredible special effects,
52
great script, multiple takes, amazing actors,
53
and great sound, and it's very engaging.
54
But if you would instead say,
55
okay, even if you had the same script,
56
at least it's the the same script and you said,
57
okay, now that script, instead of having movies,
58
we're going to have that script performed by the local town troupe.
59
And so in every small town in America,
60
if movies didn't exist, they would have to then recreate the Dark Knight with like home sewn costumes
61
and jumping across the stage and not getting their lines quite right
62
and not really looking like the people in the movie and no special effects.
63
I mean, that would suck.
64
It would be terrible.
65
That's right.
66
That's education.
67
That's education.

¿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.
