1
Now let's talk to our viewers.
2
Kate, Andy is on video chat from Australia.
3
Hello.
4
Well, I'm English but I live in Sydney.
5
I just want to say The Lord of the Rings is alright, but nothing is better than the original Mad Max.
6
It's amazing.
7
And that's Australian.
8
And what about the other Mad Max films?
9
They aren't bad, but they're a little boring.
10
The best one after the original is Mad Max Fury Road.
11
It has great action and it's also quite sad.
12
I've never seen the third one, but I've heard it's terrible.
13
Really?
14
I thought it was exciting.
15
Okay.
16
Now I want to see it.
17
Thanks, Simon.
18
Great, thanks Andy.
19
Now I have Millie from the UK on video chat.
20
Hi Simon.
21
I've seen all the Harry Potter films ten times.
22
More than any of my friends.
23
I'm the world's number one Harry Potter fan.
24
I know everything about them.
25
Go ahead, ask me anything.
26
What's the game they play in the stadium?
27
Oh, that's easy.
28
Quidditch.
29
There's nothing like a Quidditch match.
30
It's better than football, tennis, any game.
31
Kate, I need your help.
32
Do you have another Harry Potter question for Millie?
33
Okay.
34
Who were Charlie, Percy and Bill?
35
Aha.
36
They were Ron Weasley's older brothers.
37
They weren't in the movies very often, but they were in the books.
38
I've read every book at least 15 times.
39
Well, I've got to go.
40
Another movie to watch.
41
Bye.
42
Wow, there are a lot of people calling in today.
43
Okay, here's Holly.
44
She's a big fan of Jane Austen's books.
45
Hi Simon.
46
Not just the books.
47
Any movie at all that has a story from a Jane Austen book.
48
Have you ever seen Clueless?
49
It's a movie from 1995.
50
That's quite an old film, but wasn't it a modern Pride and Prejudice?
51
Close.
52
It was Jane Austen's Emma.
53
The book, Emma, was about people in a small village.
54
But in Clueless, the village is a modern high school.
55
It's just like my life.
56
It's cool.
57
Hmm.
58
How interesting.
59
So, which movie was a modern Pride and Prejudice?
60
Oh, that was Bridget Jones's diary.
61
But that was a book first.
62
The idea for the book came from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
63
I see.
64
Very confusing.
65
Not for me.
66
Bye.
67
Hi, I'm standing here with Yanis.
68
Yanis, what is your favorite book and movie?
69
Bond.
70
What?
71
James Bond, 007.
72
Really?
73
Oh my gosh, mine too.
74
Greatest spy ever.
75
Yes, I'm sure a lot of people would agree with us.
76
Do you know why the first James Bond films were the best ones?
77
Because they were just like the books.
78
That's right.
79
I've read all the books and seen all the films.
80
Ian Fleming wrote the books.
81
He was almost a spy, a secret agent himself.
82
It's a shame the later films were different from the books.
83
I agree.
84
Well, I could talk about James Bond all day.
85
Well, don't I make a good Frankenstein's monster?
86
You do, Simon, but you're a little scary.
87
Well, I've certainly enjoyed talking about books and movies today.
88
What books and movies have you read or seen?
89
Which are your favorites?
90
Let us know.
91
Goodbye from Learning Curve and see you next time.

¿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.
