Shadowing Practice: How Japan Dealt With Their Debt Problem - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
I want to just give you the Japan example.
2
Some people say, well, Japan didn't have a debt problem.
3
And of course, Japan had and still does have a lot of debt.
4
But what did they do?
5
What they did was to print a lot of money and buy those bonds.
6
And in the process of doing that, they gave the bondholders an average of 3% lower interest rates than in the United States.
7
And they devalued the currency by an average of 4% over this period of time.
8
And so that caused them to lose 45% Japanese bonds, to lose relative to U.S bonds,
9
and 60% relative to gold.
10
And as a result, the average Japanese worker used to make the equivalent of about $3,500 a month.
11
And now they make about $2,500 a month, measured in dollars.
12
In gold terms, they used to earn 13 ounces of gold equivalent in a month.
13
That is now one ounce, the equivalent.
14
If you were a U.S investor who kept their money in yen-denominated bonds,
15
or the yen currency versus the dollar, you'd be down about 84%.

¿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.
