According to the National Restaurant Association, in 2021, nearly 90 ,000 restaurants across the U .S closed.

People were unemployed.
9
They had time on their hands, but they were also really strapped for cash and it pushed a lot of people to develop pop -ups.

Traditionally, people would have thought of a pop -up as more of a space you go to.

But due to the circumstances of the pandemic, it became this pop -up that came to you.
26
The pandemic pushed Jorge and Amanda to take to the streets to bring their specialty tortillas and tacos to people,
27
while Eric decided to sell pop -up Sichuan -style fried chicken deliveries from the back of his car.

29
That was our first pop -up we ever did.
30
We were like, let's just go for it.

32
Instagram specifically has become the biggest tool for pop -ups.
33
Once I committed to the fried chicken recipe, we just kind of told people about it via Instagram,
34
and it just kind of slowly spread from there.
35
The only marketing we've ever done is through Instagram, and again, it was very little by little.

48
It's just like you never, never want that to happen because...
49
Yes, we're one of those.
50
We're at this turning point though, where a lot of people who were running these pop -ups feel,
51
you know, it was incredible to do it for as long as they've done it,
52
but it's untenable to kind of grow until they decide what the next step is going to be.
53
Let's take a second to thank our sponsor, Verizon.
54

63
and that's largely because every small business has different goals.
64

65
I can't really answer that
66
because I think that's not everyone's goal to be doing a pop -up that turns into a restaurant.

¿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.
