Shadowing Practice: I Cooked For EVERY World Cup Star - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
I asked the biggest football stars on the planet their favorite foods and was shocked by who actually replied.
2
And the first to answer was Erling Haaland.
3
Hi Nick, my favorite meal is tomahawk of course, medium rare with the arnaise sauce.
4
I like potatoes as well.
5
They are my favorite meal.
6
What a way to start.
7
The moment I heard tomahawk, I messaged all my steak dealers asking who could get me the biggest one
8
because apparently Haaland eats 6 ,000 calories a day.
9
and one of the best strikers in the world, so I understand why he needs the energy.
10
His teammates also say he eats like a bear, which makes me wonder if that's why he chose Bernays sauce.
11
If you've never heard of it, it's this buttery steak sauce made from egg yolks, melted butter, and tarragon.
12
Kind of similar to hollandaise.
13
For plating, we're going with a Viking theme, since he's Norwegian, and many people call him the Viking.
14
And remember, he also asked for a side of potatoes.
15
His grandfather was a potato farmer, which is why he loves them so much.
16
This is the best -looking first dish any video could ever have.
17
Only one way to find out.
18
It's like a giant prime rib.
19
Tell me in the comments.
20
Is this perfect?
21
I think I'm just gonna eat it like a Viking.
22
Mmm, little potato.
23
Oh.
24
By the way, if you think this dish looks good, just wait until you see what's coming later in the video.
25
But first, we're giving every player's favorite dish a ranking on this tier list and Erling Haaland just got A tier.
26
Next up, the one and only Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
27
thing to eat so I'm expecting a very good kebab from you.
28
For now it's up to you.
29
Because where I come from the kebab is special.
30
Lots of pressure on this one.
31
Zlatan has to be one of the most entertaining athletes who's ever lived.
32
He's Sweden's all time leading goal scorer, a black belt in taekwondo, and loves referring to himself in a third person.
33
He grew up in an immigrant neighborhood in Sweden where kebab shops were on every corner
34
and because it was the cheapest food around he'd fill up on them every day
35
while running around playing football as a kid.
36
So we're making him that same doner style street kebab with meat on a vertical spit, shaved off and wrapped up with all the classic toppings.
37
He told me he's expecting a very good kebab, and Zlatan isn't someone who asks twice.
38
Zlatan, just for you, this is a beef kebab fit for a king.
39
Mmm, wow.
40
This right here is his childhood.
41
It's what fueled his football journey.
42
But just because I thought he'd throw me a bit more of a curveball, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's favorite food will get a big, strong B tier.
43
Next up we've got Harry Kane.
44
After a match, it's a crispy chicken burger in a nice brie of bun, some coleslaw in there, some cheese, and maybe like a spicy mayo to go over there as well.
45
Fried chicken sandwich.
46
Love it.
47
Harry Kane is a living legend.
48
He's England's all -time leading goal scorer, but it's good to know that even the greats love a good chicken sandwich.
49
I just think it's a little ironic he chose this dish given Arsenal actually rejected him when he was younger for being, and I quote, too chubby.
50
But don't worry, he's in great shape now.
51
and even serving it on a golden bun since back in 2018, he won the Golden Boot Award as the top scorer at the World Cup.
52
And of course, I won't forget about the spicy mayo and coleslaw on there either.
53
Kane is apparently a massive Tom Brady fan, so I even called up Tom to get his approval before taking the first bite.
54
Tom, what do you think?
55
I think that looks perfect, Nick, but you better eat it before I come over and take it for myself.
56
Say no more.
57
Hmm.
58
It's got all the best parts of a fried chicken sandwich.
59
melted cheese and a soft fluffy bun.
60
But I'm just not sure it's exciting enough.
61
So for that reason, Harry Kane's favorite dish is getting C tier.
62
Next up, Memo Ochoa.
63
- Hey Nick, it's Memo.
64
My favorite food is beef Wellington.
65
- What?
66
- I love it when it's cooked medium rare, with a crispy parsley on the outside, and a good sauce on the side.
67
It reminds me some of great meats shared with my family and friends.
68
Good luck, Nick.
69
expecting.
70
Memo is Mexico's greatest goalkeeper of all time, but of all things, his favorite food being beef wellington is something I would have never guessed.
71
Lucky for him, I've got plenty of experience making them, but as I was making this one, I remembered that a good friend of mine can make them even better.
72
That friend being none other than Gordon Ramsay.
73
So I messaged him for some help.
74
Hey Nick, I'll send you along one of my specialities, this stunning beef wellington perfectly cooked to that medium rare temperature.
75
Now, all you have to make, young man, is a delicious sauce.
76
Hope you're enjoying the wonderful World Cup.
77
Come on, you know I trained to play soccer before I became a prolific chef, right?
78
See you on the pitch and enjoy the welly.
79
Well, this makes things a lot easier.
80
Now that we've got this Wellington straight from Gordon's nearest restaurant, all that's left is to make the sauce.
81
And because Memo is Mexican, we're making a mole -inspired sauce to go with it.
82
It's rich, earthy, and may just be the best thing that's ever happened to a Wellington.
83
about this dish is that it reminds him of great meals with family and friends.
84
So I hope I've done it justice.
85
I think we can all agree, perfect medium rare, just like Memo wanted.
86
But let's see about the taste.
87
Hmm.
88
In some ways this whole dish is so confusing.
89
It's a Mexican player who requested an English dish and it was made mostly by Gordon Ramsay, but it works.
90
In fact, it's pretty darn near perfect.
91
Memo, your favorite dish is going straight to A tier.
92
Next up, Christian Pulisic.
93
- Hey Nick, it's Christian Pulisic here.
94
And my favorite meal to eat especially when I come back to the US.
95
is some crispy chicken wings, some offload chicken wings with blue cheese.
96
maybe some fries on the side, and of course some homemade chocolate chip cookies.
97
Some of my favorites.
98
The most unhealthy meal award.
99
Christian lives in Italy since he plays for AC Milan, but I love that his favorite foods are still three of the most American foods on earth.
100
I mean, buffalo wings, french fries, and chocolate chip cookies?
101
Come on.
102
I'm making the buffalo sauce homemade with my brand new Osmo Magic Sauce, because everything Pulisic does on the field is magical.
103
Uh -oh.
104
I also America, and I think it explains why he loves chocolate chip cookies so much.
105
As the Team USA captain, he earned the nickname Captain America, which apparently he doesn't really like, but we're going to plate everything on a Captain America shield anyways.
106
Sorry, Christian.
107
He also specifically asked for blue cheese dressing, which I'm going to pour all over the wings since I just think it'll look cool.
108
And finally, we can eat.
109
Like I said, it doesn't get any more American than this.
110
Saucy wings, crispy fries, chewy cookies.
111
All these foods are so delicious, but they're a little weak this video, which is why Christian Pulisic's favorite meal is getting a B tier.
112
Next up, Ousmane Dembele.
113
I like when my mother speaks to Cep.
114
I like it.
115
It's long.
116
We eat 10 -16 hours.
117
Dembele recently won the Ballon d 'Or, which means he's currently the best football player on the planet.
118
Someone once asked him if he's left -footed or right -footed, and he said he doesn't even know because both feet are equally good.
119
I like to think that I'm just as good cooking with my left hand as I am with my right, but maybe that's not a fair comparison.
120
I noticed that even though he messaged me in French, he didn't ask for French food.
121
Cep is Senegal's national dish, and he chose it because his family is Senegalese.
122
I've made my own slightly faster version, especially because I know mine probably won't be quite as good as his mom's anyways.
123
Just looking at this, I'm sad I've never gotten a tri -chap before, but very happy that I'm about to.
124
Traditionally, you eat it with your hands, so I'm going to grab some of that flaky fish.
125
Oh my, look at that.
126
I'll pair my first bite with some cabbage and broken rice.
127
Come on.
128
I can already tell you this is going to rank high.
129
It's tomatoey, savory, and that broken rice absorbs everything, so every bite is packed with flavor.
130
LA's favorite dish has earned our very first S tier.
131
Woohoo!
132
Next up, Robert Lewandowski.
133
Hi, Nick.
134
Here's Robert.
135
My favorite food has to be pasta portofino.
136
Wow.
137
Lots of pesto, good olive oil, and sweet tomato sauce.
138
That somehow make everything better.
139
It should taste like summer in Italy.
140
Good luck.
141
Pasta portofino.
142
Lewandowski is Poland's all -time leading scorer and greatest ever footballer, yet his favorite food is Italian.
143
But I'm not going to question it because pasta portofino is such a great answer.
144
If you've never heard of it, it was created accidentally pesto halfway through dinner service and mixed in some tomato sauce to stretch it.
145
And that accident became one of Italy's most beloved pasta dishes, made with a creamy pink sauce that's half pesto, half tomato.
146
He specifically said it should taste like summer in Italy, which is why it's important that we make everything from scratch here.
147
And keep in mind, this is a guy who once scored five goals in nine minutes, a performance so absurd it broke four Guinness World Records.
148
So when he tells me how his pasta should taste, I'm going to listen carefully.
149
Lewandowski actually follows a strict foods digest faster and don't compete with the proteins in his main meal.
150
I don't really understand it, but...
151
I'm never gonna complain about having some tiramisu before my pasta.
152
I may just start doing this every day.
153
As for our pasta portofino, looks amazing, smells amazing.
154
- Thank you.
155
Mmm, it's delicious.
156
It's similar to what I expected, an ultra creamy tomatoey pesto pasta.
157
Robert Lewandowski's favorite meal deserves a solid B tier.
158
Next up, we've got David Beckham.
159
He invited me to come cook with him in person, but once I got there, I realized it wouldn't be fair to the rest of the players in the video, so I asked him what to make back at home,
160
and he answered, "I've always loved honey since I was a little kid." And this makes sense, because in addition to being one of the most famous footballers to ever live, Beckham is also a very serious beekeeper.
161
even started his own honey brand.
162
So in honor of his British heritage, I've decided to make him a sticky toffee pudding using honey instead of sugar.
163
For anyone who's never had sticky toffee pudding, imagine this rich, warm cake drenched in caramel sauce.
164
Now imagine that same thing, but with all of that sweetness coming from honey instead of sugar.
165
It just goes to show that sometimes when you bend the rules in cooking, you end up with something even better than the original.
166
And if there's anyone who knows about bending things, it's Beckham.
167
Let's taste before it melts.
168
I don't normally like dessert, but this is better than regular sticky toffee pudding.
169
It's got a sweet caramelized honey flavor with every texture you could ever want.
170
And the balance between hot and cold without ice cream?
171
Chef's kiss.
172
David Beckham's favorite dish gets a very well -deserved A tier.
173
Next up is Luka Modric.
174
My favorite meal is pizza.
175
Very thin.
176
Dalmatian prosciutto on the top some cheese and olives, spicy sauce.
177
Good luck.
178
You'll do it well.
179
Sounds delicious.
180
I didn't know this, but pizza is everywhere in Croatia since it's so close to Italy.
181
But they like it crispier than American and Neapolitan style, which is why I'm pressing and rolling the dough out until it's almost see -through.
182
We'll keep the topping simple with spicy tomato sauce as the base and some classic mozzarella cheese.
183
I'm going all out here because a few years ago, Modric won the award for best soccer player in the world and was very specific about how he wanted this pizza.
184
He even smoked cured ham from the coast of Croatia where he grew up.
185
I wasn't allowed to import that exact type
186
but I got the closest thing I possibly could so I could carve it fresh.
187
Now that the pizza's baked we'll finish it off with the prosciutto, top it with olives in the pattern of a soccer ball, and finally some homemade spicy chili oil as requested.
188
I'm going to cut it into six pieces for his six Champions League titles.
189
I love a thin crust pizza.
190
Probably not the pizza that I would personally order.
191
The mix of black olives and prosciutto makes it extra salty and I don't
192
meat on it where you have to awkwardly tear through like this.
193
It's hard though because it's such a beautiful pizza.
194
But I think Luka Modric's pizza gets a C tier.
195
C for Croatia.
196
Next up, Gerard Piquet.
197
Hey Nick, I want you to cook me a Spanish amelette, no cheese, salt, pepper, and whatever ingredients you want to put, but no cheese please.
198
Okay.
199
Spanish amelette.
200
Okay, thank you very much.
201
Got it.
202
Piquet spent his entire career at Barcelona and is considered one of the best defenders in football history.
203
And all he wants is a Spanish omelette, known in Spain as a tortilla española.
204
These are made with just eggs, potatoes, and olive oil.
205
But there's also a huge debate on whether or not you should add onions.
206
Every bar, kitchen, and grandmother in Spain makes these, and they all swear theirs is the best.
207
But I'm obviously going to try to top theirs too.
208
Piquet said twice not to add cheese, so I'm staying away from that.
209
To keep things traditional, we also have to let it cool to room temperature before eating.
210
So while we wait, I'm turning our omelette into the Spanish flag using a few different colored peppers.
211
Now that it's all cooled, we actually cut it like a cake.
212
Spanish omelettes Apparently it's also acceptable to eat it with your hands.
213
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
214
I don't know what I was expecting.
215
That's incredible.
216
It's especially rich and buttery and even custardy from all that olive oil.
217
My only complaint is I wish it was something a little more exciting, which is why Gerard Piquet's favorite dish is getting a B tier.
218
Next up, David Luiz.
219
Hello, hello Nick.
220
It's a pleasure to be here.
221
My favorite meal is rice, white rice, beans, black beans from Minas Gerais in Brazil.
222
And then you can do a meat well done with some onions and then steam kale.
223
and then also his angu is like a polenta but small liquid
224
so in the end of the day you can mix everything
225
and you're gonna enjoy it see you soon it was a pleasure he wants six things in one plate
226
okay brazil is the most successful football nation on earth with five world cup wins more than any other country
227
and in addition to being a legend for the brazilian national team david has also played for chelsea psg
228
and arsenal and even owns a restaurant in london so he definitely knows his
229
You're probably also wondering why we're suddenly not in my kitchen.
230
And that's because he asked for a very specific style of home cooking from a region in Brazil called Minas Jirai.
231
So, because my friend Guga happens to be from that exact same region, I asked him to make this one for me and ship it overnight from Miami.
232
My only worry now is how well this actually held up in the mail.
233
Let's hope it still looks good.
234
Hey, he covered it up.
235
That's smart.
236
I like how he bubble wrapped it, too.
237
That's good.
238
Look at that.
239
Can you believe it looks like that from flying?
240
I'm going to start by cutting into the steak.
241
I feel like we're all probably wondering, is it cooked perfectly?
242
Because if Guga followed my and David's instructions, this should be well done.
243
Oh no. This might even be past well done.
244
You can hear me chewing it.
245
It's almost crunchy.
246
But this is traditional for this type of meal in Brazil, and this is what David wanted, so I'm okay with it.
247
It's also seasoned beautifully.
248
How about the beans?
249
Guga.
250
Guga, what are you doing?
251
You cooked the steak, well done.
252
That's what David wanted.
253
You barely cooked the beans.
254
The beans are rare.
255
They're crunchy.
256
Let's try this.
257
Hmm.
258
I don't think I'll ever like okra.
259
Now that I've tried it all individually, I'm going to kind of mix everything together like David suggested.
260
I want to make sure I get the proper, perfect bite.
261
It tastes like I've walked into someone's home in Brazil.
262
But unfortunately for David, my friend Guga really undercooked those beans.
263
David Luiz's favorite dish is going in D tier.
264
D for David, I guess. is Chicharito.
265
Hey Nick, this is Chicharito.
266
My favorite food is chilaquiles.
267
Especially with salsa roja, crema, queso fresco, and sunny side of eggs on top.
268
I grew up eating them in Mexico.
269
They're still one of my favorite comfort foods.
270
Good luck!
271
So Chicharito wants chilaquiles.
272
Before we talk about chilaquiles, let's talk about how Chicharito got his nickname because his real name is actually Javier Hernandez.
273
As the story goes, his dad had bright green eyes, which are very rare in Mexico.
274
So his family nicknamed him Chicharro, which means "P" because his eyes looked like green peas.
275
And when his son was born with the same green eyes, chicharito, meaning little p.
276
And chicharito went on to become Mexico's all -time leading goal scorer.
277
And, as we now know, the food that keeps him going is chilaquiles.
278
Basically just fried tortilla chips simmered in salsa until they're just the right balance of crispy and saucy, then topped with crema, queso fresco, and a sunny -side -up egg.
279
It's the most popular breakfast in Mexico, and I plated this one as the Mexican flag.
280
Red salsa on one side, white crema down the middle, and for the green section, even though it's non -traditional,
281
I've used peas in honor of Perfect.
282
Obviously, we first need to pop the egg.
283
And after being simmered in all that beautiful salsa, these chips should be just soft enough that we can kind of poke through them with a fork.
284
But you can always get in there with your hands, too.
285
No one's going to get mad.
286
Estabuissimo.
287
Chicharito, this is such a good choice for your favorite meal.
288
It's beautiful, and it hits on all the different textures and flavors you could ever want.
289
Chicharito is going to walk away with a very strong A -tier.
290
Next up, Sunil Chetri.
291
Hey, Nick.
292
One of my absolute favorite things to eat is called sole bature.
293
It's deep fried Indian bread, chickpea curry, carrot or chili pickle, we call it a chaar, and some onion by the side.
294
I'm sure you will love it.
295
Sounds amazing.
296
You're probably thinking to yourself, there's football in India?
297
And compared to cricket, it's tiny, but Chetri has kept it alive.
298
He's India's all -time leading goal scorer, and at his peak was the third highest international scorer in the world, behind only Ronaldo and Messi.
299
In India, especially Delhi, you can find this on practically every street corner for less than a dollar.
300
And I have to say, watching them puff up might be one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen.
301
I'm serving it with a char, a traditional Indian pickle along with green chilies and sliced red onion on the side.
302
I've been waiting all day to do this and I can't wait to try.
303
Before I react, a little onion, green chili.
304
This is one of the best things I've eaten in a very long time.
305
It's tangy, crunchy, crispy, chewy.
306
It's got a little bit of everything.
307
And I absolutely love it.
308
Sunil Chhatri's favorite dish, without question, goes straight to S2.
309
Next up, Ashraf Hakimi.
310
My favorite meal is the couscous, Moroccan couscous.
311
I'll make it for my mom.
312
If not, it will not be the same.
313
I'm not his mom, but I'll try my best.
314
this famous moment where after a huge win with Morocco, he ran past every single teammate on the pitch straight to his mom in the stands.
315
So when I asked him his favorite food and he said Moroccan couscous from his mom, it all made sense.
316
And it also reminded me that my mom made me and my brothers lots of couscous growing up, so this one feels personal.
317
In Morocco, couscous brings the whole family together every Friday around one big platter.
318
So Hakimi, I really hope your mom would be proud of this one.
319
With couscous, you want to take your right hand
320
and you want to press together some of those soft little pearls and kind of roll them up into a ball.
321
First bite, I just want to Amazing.
322
You know what's so good about this is that in that two -section pot we used, all that broth and the vegetables steam and give their flavor to the couscous as it cooks.
323
And I can taste all that in there.
324
It's not normal couscous, and I'm sorry to my mom, but it's a lot better than the couscous we had growing up.
325
I bet Hakimi's mom makes an S -tier couscous, but for this one here, Ashraf Hakimi's favorite dish is getting a very solid B -tier.
326
Next up, Joao Felix.
327
Hey Nick, how are you?
328
My favorite dish is a Portuguese dish.
329
It's called arroz cabidella.
330
Good luck.
331
Let's do this.
332
Felix is only 25 and has already played for four of the biggest clubs in football: Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, and AC Milan.
333
At age 19, he won the award for best player in Europe, and now plays alongside Cristiano Ronaldo on both his club team and the Portuguese national team.
334
And don't forget, Ronaldo's favorite dish is coming later in the video.
335
Felix requested arroz de cavadeira, a traditional Portuguese rice dish
336
that gets its signature dark color from a very specific ingredient that'll let you look up on your own time.
337
that same rich dark color with a hopefully similar flavor.
338
Every family in Portugal has their own version of this dish and I love that it represents real authentic home cooking.
339
I'm going to build the perfect bite here with a bit of chicken and some of that black rice.
340
The chicken is beautiful.
341
It's soft and tender but the rice is really rich, almost a little bit metallic in flavor.
342
Let me apologize in advance.
343
I love Portugal, I love Portuguese food but I changed one of the few Unfortunately puts this dish in F tier.
344
Not your fault Joao.
345
Next up Terry Henry.
346
Hello Nick.
347
This is Terry.
348
My favorite food or dishes Shall I say is from the Caribbean?
349
Oh one.
350
It's called Dombré.
351
You're going to have to do your own research.
352
The other one is Colombo de poulet and the last one is Lambie Three options.
353
I have fun with it.
354
Three options.
355
Terry doesn't follow the rules.
356
Terry is the only player to give me three completely different dishes instead of one, which means we have to spin this wheel to find out which one we're making.
357
And it appears we've landed on Lambie, a Caribbean conch stew served with rice.
358
Now, what's interesting here is that Henri is both France and Arsenal's all -time leading goal scorer, but his favorite food isn't French.
359
It's Caribbean, and that's because his family is from Guadeloupe, where conch is one of the most prized ingredients around.
360
But it's tough, so we have to give it plenty of time to cook or it'll turn out chewy and rubbery.
361
Henri was once part of the only team ever to go an entire Premier League season unbeaten.
362
They call that team the Invincibles, so the least I can do is get his conch stew right.
363
Alright, Bombi.
364
This has to be some of the coolest plating of the whole video.
365
If you've never had conch, it's very similar in texture to calamari.
366
The stew is okay.
367
It's rich and tomatoey with a slight heat, and then you get that satisfying chewiness from the conch, but I think the conch itself is what's holding it back.
368
Terry Henri's favorite dish gets B tier.
369
Next up, Yo Nick, it's Ebbs here man.
370
I heard you wanna have a go cooking my favourite meal, what I normally have for most games.
371
Red pesto pasta, frigatoni pasta, chicken, prawns, and a little bit of mozzarella.
372
Red pesto.
373
Ebbs eats this before every single match, so it sounds like a recipe for success, given he's just won the FA Cup and the Premier League back -to -back and is a chess champion on the side.
374
Traditional pesto has five simple ingredients.
375
Pine nuts, garlic, parmesan, basil, and olive oil.
376
And red pesto is the same thing, but replaces most of that basil with sun -dried much, but I'll be honest, it might.
377
I'm going to plate this dish into the shape of the England flag, since that's where he's from, and top it off with mozzarella cheese, chicken, and prawns just like he asked.
378
Alright Ebbs, let's see what you got.
379
I'm going to get some red pesto pasta with a little mozzarella.
380
Here's the thing.
381
I told you I'm not the biggest fan of sun dried tomatoes.
382
At the same time, this is the type of dish I feel like I would have wanted before a soccer game when I used to play.
383
So it's hard because it's not his fault I don't love sun dried tomato, but it is what it is.
384
So Berchi Eze's favorite dish is getting C tier.
385
Next up, Antoine Griezmann.
386
Instead of a video, he replied with a one word answer.
387
Tartiflette.
388
I love it.
389
When Griezmann won the World Cup, he celebrated by doing a Fortnite dance in the middle of the field.
390
That should tell you everything you need to know about him, but in case you're curious for more, he's France's third all -time leading goal scorer
391
and has been one of the best players in the world for the last decade.
392
And his favorite food is tarte de flecte, a classic dish from the French Alps made with layers of potatoes, cream, bacon, and an entire wheel of melted cheese on top.
393
It's the kind of thing you eat after a long day on a cold, snowy French mountain, or maybe on a football pitch.
394
And if you really think about it, it's basically This is my dream.
395
I know this isn't how you're supposed to eat it, but I am going to dig in with a spoon.
396
That's the ultimate comfort food.
397
Creamy potatoes, salty bacon, that thick layer of melted cheese that's rich and a little bit funky.
398
This is such a smart and unique...
399
favorite dish at the same time and it is just so so so French.
400
Antoine Griezmann's dish is going S tier.
401
Our final player is the one and only Cristiano Ronaldo
402
but we did get in touch with him
403
and he's a bit too busy to send us a clip given the World Cup's happening right now
404
so instead I have my friend Speed telling us the dish on his behalf.
405
Yo Nick, Ronaldo's favorite food is this Get it right for real bro, please.
406
I have no idea how to pronounce that dish But I will try my best to make it.
407
Ronaldo needs no introduction, but his dish definitely does especially since speed also messed up the pronunciation.
408
The dish is called Bacalhau a Braj
409
and it's one of Portugal's most iconic dishes made with soft scrambled eggs shredded salt cod
410
and crispy matchstick potatoes all mixed together in one.
411
It's sometimes topped off with black olives in this case seven to represent his number.
412
Let's see what you got Ronaldo.
413
Oh I'm really trying to like this dish.
414
If I think hard about the positives here, it's creamy, crunchy, and salty all at the same time.
415
And then you get this sweetness from the onions and garlic and little bursts of brininess from the olives.
416
But that shredded salted cod that's in there is so salty.
417
Let me give it one more shot.
418
I can appreciate parts of this dish.
419
You know what?
420
We're going to give Ronaldo's favorite dish a good solid B tier.

¿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.
