1
Sophia the second How's that?
2
It was?
3
It's not a hoedown, Clover.
4
It's the Highland Hootenanny.
5
And it's going to be amazing.
6
All my friends from the village will be there.
7
Amber and James are coming.
8
And my favorite band, and then Chancey is going to be playing.
9
Nope, the Grass Slippers.
10
Come in.
11
Morning, Dad.
12
What do you mean?
13
Today?
14
Today?
15
Why?
16
But today's the hootenanny.
17
You're right, Dad.
18
So that's what I'll do.
19
Oh, Clover, I was really looking forward to the dance.
20
But a promise is a promise.
21
If only I could.
22
You want to help me pick out a welcome gift for Joy?
23
Mr. Cedric?
24
What are you doing?
25
That's it?
26
Clover, I have an idea!
27
Follow me!
28
There!
29
Now maybe I can be in two places at once.
30
I'll make a copy of myself with Mr. Cedric's spell, so I can go to the dance while my copy plays with joy.
31
Then my dad's happy, I'm happy, everyone's happy.
32
You're right.
33
Maybe I should practice it first.
34
What idea?
35
Doppler...
36
Duplicato.
37
Wait!
38
Huh?
39
Hi there, I'm Sophia.
40
So, do you just repeat everything I say?
41
Oh, good.
42
Now I suppose you're wondering why I made you.
43
I need you to play with a little girl named Joy so I can go to the village dance.
44
Okay?
45
Great.
46
Joy should be here any minute.
47
All you need to do is give her this gift and show her around the castle.
48
Thanks.
49
I'll be back at the end of the day.
50
Good luck.
51
Hi.
52
Ready to go?
53
What do you mean?
54
Oh, right.
55
I changed.
56
Just now.
57
We better hurry, the dance is about to start.
58
Come on!
59
Oh, we love this song.
60
Hey, guys!
61
You ready to dance?
62
I have really been looking forward to this.
63
I'm so glad I didn't miss it.
64
Oh, mm-hmm.
65
I was just listening to the song.
66
Keeping promises, no matter what.
67
You shouldn't be here.
68
What are you doing here?
69
But if you're here, then who is playing with Joy?
70
You are not being very nice.
71
Oh no!
72
Hey!
73
Come back here!
74
Um...
75
Can't talk right now.
76
Sorry.
77
Sorry for whatever I just did.
78
Sorry.
79
Excuse me, so sorry.
80
I have to go to the castle before my dad finds out no one's playing with Joy.
81
And you have to stay out of trouble until I get back.
82
I figured.
83
That's why I'm putting you in here.
84
Not until I fix everything.
85
What have I done?
86
Oh, I hope I'm not too late.
87
Boy, I'm so sorry I left you alone.
88
I won't do it again, I promise.
89
Thank you so much, Mr. Cedric, for looking after her!
90
Oh, and you found Clover!
91
Daily Witch!
92
Are you alright?
93
We've got to stop her!
94
Oh, sorry!
95
Here's your spoon!
96
No!
97
Don't grab the spoon!
98
Glad I'll mine!
99
Dad!
100
Well...
101
I used Mr. Cedric's copying spell to make a copy of myself.
102
I wanted to go to the Hootenanny, but I promised you I'd play with Joy.
103
So I thought if there were two of me, I could do both things.
104
Instead, I wound up making a mess of everything.
105
Mr. Cedric, can you reverse the spell?
106
I know.
107
I'm sorry, Dad.
108
Hmm, you're right.
109
Joy, I'm so sorry I went to the dance instead of staying here with you.
110
But I'm going to make it up to you.
111
We'll start with a tour of the castle, and then we can do anything you want.
112
Really?
113
You want to go to the Hootenanny?
114
It's okay, Amber.
115
Everything's fine now.
116
I'll tell you everything later.
117
But right now, it's time to dance.
118
Come on, Joy.
119
Yes, the real me.
120
No more cobbles.

¿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.
