  • How do you move up?

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione

Chi parla usa 11 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come don't, you're, didn't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.

  • I suoni “sh” e “zh”: promotion /pɹəˈmoʊʃn̩/, humiliation /hjuːˌmɪliˈeɪʃən/
  • Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: invisible /ɪnˈvɪzəb(ə)l/, disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, legitimate /lɪˈd͡ʒɪt.ɪ.mət/, anonymous /əˈnɒn.ə.məs/, statistical /stəˈtɪs.tɪ.kəl/

I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:

  • /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: happiness /ˈhæpinɪs/, humiliation /hjuːˌmɪliˈeɪʃən/
  • Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: criticize /ˈkɹɪtɪsaɪz/, succeed /səkˈsiːd/, greatness /ˈɡɹeɪtnəs/, happiness /ˈhæpinɪs/, disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/
  • /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, happiness /ˈhæpinɪs/, embarrassed /ɪmˈbæɹ.əst/, unanimous /juˈnænəməs/, exaggerate /ɛɡˈzæd͡ʒ.ə.ɹeɪt/

Come esercitarsi con questo video

  1. Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
  2. Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
  3. Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come remarkable, grammar, scary.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
