Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 4 contracciones y formas reducidas, como don't, they're, we're. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: organizational /ˌɔː(ɹ)ɡənɪˈzeɪʃənəl/, expectation /ˌɛk.spɛkˈteɪ.ʃən/, cohesion /kəʊˈhiː.ʒən/, mitigation /mɪtɪˈɡeɪʃən/, certification /ˌsɜː.tɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: organizational /ˌɔː(ɹ)ɡənɪˈzeɪʃənəl/, expectation /ˌɛk.spɛkˈteɪ.ʃən/, mitigation /mɪtɪˈɡeɪʃən/, misunderstanding /ˌmɪsʌndɚˈstændɪŋ/, visibility /ˌvɪz.əˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: stakeholder /ˈsteɪkˌhəʊl.də/, smoothly /ˈsmuːðli/, streamline /ˈstriːmlaɪn/, sponsor /ˈspɒn.səː/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: revisit /ɹiːˈvɪzɪt/, elevate /ˈɛləveɪt/, proactive /pɹoʊˈæk.tɪv/, relevance /ˈɹɛl.ɪ.vən(t)s/, visibility /ˌvɪz.əˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: revisit /ɹiːˈvɪzɪt/, organizational /ˌɔː(ɹ)ɡənɪˈzeɪʃənəl/, maximize /ˈmæksəmaɪz/, visibility /ˌvɪz.əˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/, organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/
Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.

- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como stakeholder, align, alignment.
¿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.
