Creando lección...
1
Hey everybody, so this is my new character guy who becomes Southern When he holds broccoli...
2
Thank you.
3
Hello?
4
I am a normal person.
5
Except when I hold broccoli.
6
I become Southern.
7
- Yeah.
8
And when I'm not holding broccoli...
9
I'm not Southern.
10
But when I am, I am Southern.
11
Thank you.
12
Um...
13
And it's very interesting because, you know, I wouldn't say that it's particularly...
14
debilitating because...
15
I don't really hold broccoli very often.
16
I'm not in very many situations where I'm forced to hold broccoli.
17
- Yeah.
18
But.. you know, if I'm at a
19
party or there's a veggie platter and then it's going to be kind of fun to be like "Hey, I have to show you something." You know,
20
when I pick up broccoli, I become Southern, but I'm not Southern when I'm not holding it.
21
Thank you.
22
Thank you.
23
Yeah!
24
Thank you.
25
So it's very strange because the doctor,
26
I went to a psychiatrist and explain the situation.
27
And most people think that I'm doing a bit
28
you know and they're like well can you just stop doing that And I'm like, no, I can't because it's involuntary.
29
and most of the time - man - and - and most of the times people laugh at first
30
but then it I keep doing it and they don't understand that I'm not doing it on purpose.
31
So they're like, okay, stop, you know.
32
That was funny for a while, but can you stop, please?
33
And I have to be like, no, I swear, I can't help it.
34
It happens if I can't control that when I hold broccoli, I turn southern.
35
I wish I didn't.
36
I wish that it didn't happen.
37
you know, and I wish that it, you know, it was something that the doctor said that Um...
38
you know he didn't really know what was going on.
39
But I could tell that he thought, he didn't think it was a legitimate medical issue.
40
And maybe it's not.
41
You know, my psychiatrist said, well, obviously this is some psychosomatic thing where you feel compelled to do bits.
42
And I said, no. Ah.
43
This is just who I am.
44
I don't know why it happens.
45
It's happened since I was a young man.
46
And it still happens even when I'm an adult.
47
- Yeah. And...
48
It happens in my other hand, too.
49
But what's really interesting is if I throw it up in the air, this happens.
50
So if I throw it up in the air, then this happens.
51
And if it's not in my hand for a certain period of time, then I become not southern when it's not in my hand.
52
Thank you.
53
Thank you.
54
Thank you.
55
Thank you.
56
you Thank you.
57
Thank you.
58
Thank you.
59
Okay.

¿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.
