Let's say that you bought something really nice in Beijing two years ago.

Let's just say that you bought something really nice in Beijing two years ago.
5
Somebody comes up to you and asks you, where did you buy it?
6
How did you answer?
7
Yeah, in Beijing, right?
8
Or specifically, you can say, it was in Beijing where I bought it.
9
And if people ask you, when did you buy it?
10
You will say, it was two years ago when I bought it.
11
So these are questions asking for specifics about the past.
12
And these are answers that are giving specific details about a past activity.
13
So do you think it will be useful for you to give these specific answers to these specific questions?
14
Yeah, oftentimes we do ask these specific questions, right?
15
Like, how did you learn Chinese?
16
How did you get here?

25
昨天来 is the piece of information you're asking And you're asking when did you come, right?
26
昨天 is yesterday, 来 is come.
27
So 昨天来 is come yesterday.
28
So you wrap that piece of information with 是 on the left and 的 on the right.
29
So it becomes 是昨天来的 我是昨天来的 It was yesterday when I came.
30
我是昨天来的 It was in Beijing, where I bought this?
31
这个是我在北京买的 我在北京买 is the specific piece of information And you wrap that with 是的 这个 this

¿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.
