38
and it also goes a long way to making a positive first impression.
39

40
This is important.
41
Make sure you thank the interviewer for giving you the opportunity to be interviewed for the position.
42

Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| Oraciones condicionales if + oración, will/would + verbo — una condición y su resultado | if you hire me, I will be |
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | have gained · have prepared · I've worked |

| Oraciones de relativo who / which + oración — información extra sobre una persona o cosa | someone who always · somebody who already |
Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 3 contracciones y formas reducidas, como don't, I've. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: qualification /ˌkwɑlɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: industrious /ɪnˈdʌstɹi.əs/, incorporate /ɪŋˈkɔɹ.pɚ.eɪt/, collaborate /kəˈlæb.ə.ɹeɪt/, accelerate /ɪkˈsɛl.əˌɹeɪt/, qualification /ˌkwɑlɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/

- s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: standout /ˈstændaʊt/, strive /ˈstɹaɪv/
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: interviewer /ˈɪntɚvjuɚ/, achiever /əˈt͡ʃiːvɚ/, motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/, strive /ˈstɹaɪv/, positively /ˈpɑ.zɪ.tɪv.li/

- Empieza a velocidad 0,75×, haz shadowing frase por frase y vuelve a la velocidad normal cuando te resulte fácil.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como interviewer, tutorial, industrious.
¿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.
