because I don't have my phone out
4
and I am looking around I have a tendency to see
5
when I check and see what's on everybody's phone
6
and it's total intrusion it's creepy in a way but it's also
7
because in Asia I'm a little bit taller than the average person
8
so I'm looking down and I can see everybody's monitor
9
and um yeah do you ever find yourself doing
10
that too i do yeah but like you i think i think it's impolite right
11
so you gotta pull away i know
12
i shouldn't do it um do you know the worst thing
13
with phones these days um the worst thing from my point of view is the amount of pictures
14
that people take of themselves everywhere on the bts on the subway eating
15
i've been to s21 in cambodia where those poor people were slaughtered basically
16
and there are people in front of pictures of these people who were killed
17
and they are just literally taking selfies themselves you know this world isn't about you yeah it's sometimes just stop and look
18

21
but i have to admit yeah i don't really like doing it yeah
22
and i take it the shot again the shot again i use selfies um in a group
23
because i think they're fun it's actually quite fun to see one person in the front
24
and the rest of the back yes
25
and it usually means i can get further back in the photograph
26
so that's that's always a good thing oh that's yeah that's true
27
so but you that's good
28
that you admit you do some selfies yeah yeah yeah with groups
29
and you know
30

it enjoy the memory you know it's been it's interesting you you said
36
that about cambodia um a woman a group of women once said something
37

55
so now actually you are in photography do you think
56
that actually taking so many I'm sorry you have a photography business do you think
57
that actually taking so many photographs lessens the value of the art of photography

¿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.
