Creazione lezione...
1
What you got there?
2
Oh, I grabbed a sandwich at the food truck out front.
3
Well, now, hold on.
4
Tonight is Friday, and I believe you know what that means.
5
And my fun young life took a drastic turn somewhere?
6
Dimitri, our paper was right.
7
We did it.
8
We did it!
9
We did it!
10
We did it!
11
Aw, remember when they only did it on her birthday?
12
I don't think there's anything in this jewelry store
13
that Amy would appreciate more than the humidifier we were just looking at at Sears.
14
Oh, my God.
15
Now I know what I sound like to you when I say stupid stuff.
16
Oh, a pocket watch.
17
Okay, I don't think Amy wants a pocket watch.
18
No, but maybe she wants a man with a pocket watch.
19
Still saying stupid stuff.
20
Where's your heart rate monitor?
21
I don't have one.
22
What about your pedometer?
23
Don't have one.
24
Do you have telematics in your shoes connected to an iPod?
25
Uh, no. What do you do?
26
You just go out there and gamble about like a bunny?
27
No, I just run till I'm hungry and then I stop for a bear claw.
28
As the kids are saying today, talk to the hand.
29
They're not saying that.
30
They are in 2003.
31
No, no, they're really not.
32
I asked you guys if you want dessert, but I know Sheldon doesn't eat dessert on Tuesdays, and even if Raj wanted something, he couldn't tell me.
33
Howard won't order anything, but he will come up with some sort of skeevy comment
34
and bought me the words pie or cheesecake.
35
And Leonard's lactose intolerant, so he can't eat anything here without his intestines blowing up like a balloon animal.
36
Can I sleep on your couch tonight?
37
Uh, well, you can try, but the people across the hall are being very noisy.
38
You heard that, huh?
39
Apparently the one fella tried to adjust the thermostat, then the other fella went bat crap crazy.
40
So you agree he's nuts?
41
Well, not as nuts as the guy who chooses to live with him.
42
Believe it or not, he was worse when I met him.
43
Oh, I do not believe that.
44
I've read that there are great yogis who have such mastery over their bodies they can draw water in through their genitals.
45
Yeah, well, I don't think we're gonna get to do that today.
46
Too bad.
47
Seems like a good way to drink a milkshake without getting brain freeze.
48
Is that the Fourier transform extends to minus infinity in time.
49
Hey, don't dumb this down for me.
50
Penny, I'm late for that thing.
51
See ya.
52
Leonard!
53
Oh, Sheldon.
54
Didn't see you there.
55
What's up?
56
Well, he was excited to talk science with Amy, but she was working late, so he decided to come over and share it with me.
57
With me, Leonard. With me.
58
Sheldon, we've talked about this.
59
You can't go around boring other people's wives.
60
Yeah.
61
I already got a man for that.
62
Yeah, you do.
63
Yeah.
64
Please be smiling.
65
Hey, guys, guys, some of the other waitresses wanted me to ask you something?
66
It's called Tressling.
67
It combines the physical strength of arm wrestling with the mental agility of Tetris into the ultimate sport.
68
Yeah, that's terrific.
69
But what they wanted me to ask you is to cut it the hell out.
70
I'm sorry.
71
Listen, could you do me a favor and not tell Bernadette how badly I blew this interview?
72
She'll get upset, and honestly, I'm a little terrified of her.
73
You're scared of Bernadette?
74
Yeah, kinda.
75
I thought it was just me!
76
Everyone thinks she's so nice with a squeaky little voice.
77
I know, but she's kind of a bully.
78
Oh, but she is.
79
I didn't even want to meet you, but I was too scared to say no to her.
80
Me too.
81
Yeah, you know, one time I had...
82
I had to tell her we were cutting the research funding for one of the drugs she was developing.
83
What happened?
84
I couldn't do it.
85
She's still working on it.
86
Oh, we're not gonna tell her about this, right?
87
Oh, my God, no. Why don't you go to bed?
88
I'll run out and get you some medicine.
89
Oh, it's okay.
90
Stuart gave me some when I was at the comic book store.
91
Really?
92
You're taking medicine from Stuart?
93
Doesn't he need, like, all of it?
94
Gentlemen, Star Wars Day is rapidly approaching.
95
We should finalize our plans.
96
What, that's a real thing?
97
What is it, Star Wars Christmas?
98
No, don't be ridiculous.
99
That's Wookiee Life Day. So when is it?
100
Well, it's not May the 5th, and it's not May the 3rd.
101
It's May the 4th.
102
Get it?
103
May the 4th be with you?
104
May the 4th be with you.
105
Get it?
106
Oh, no, this face wasn't because I didn't get it.
107
He was a guy I liked, and I never told him how I felt.
108
Eventually, he started going out with someone else, and I always regretted it.
109
Do you see where I'm going with this?
110
I believe I do.
111
I'm the guy.
112
You're not the guy. Are you sure?
113
I would explain so much.
114
Your constant presence in my apartment, that baffling dalliance with Leonard just to be near me, The way you call me sweetie all the time?
115
I call everyone sweetie.
116
You tramp.
117
Look, Sheldon, all I'm saying is strap on a pair and go talk to Amy.
118
Strap on a pair?
119
What, skates?
120
Oh, sweetie, you are so not the guy.
121
Um, you're Lucy, right?
122
I'm a friend of Raj Kuthurpalli's.
123
Actually, Amy recognized you.
124
Wow.
125
How's he doing?
126
Oh, you know, he's good.
127
Great.
128
Yeah, this is none of my business, but why did you break up with him in an email?
129
Oh, I don't know.
130
I guess I thought it would be easier.
131
Yeah, I get that.
132
I'll go get you your water.
133
When you say easier, you mean easier for you, right? because it certainly didn't make it easier for him.
134
Any chance I can get a different waitress?
135
I'm sorry.
136
This is rude of me.
137
I will get you that water.
138
See, see, see, see.
139
Just now, you expressed your feelings to my face.
140
How come you could do that with me but not with Raj?
141
I don't know your email.
142
You know what the worst part is?
143
You're sitting here perfectly happy, and he's at home a blubbering mess.
144
I thought you said he was okay.
145
Well, I also said I was getting you water, but look at me, still standing here.
146
You know, I may be a bad waitress, but you are a bad person.
147
Now, you want to hear the specials?
148
What do you mean, she's her?
149
Well, you know how Amy's the coolest girl on campus, right?
150
No. Oh, yeah, everybody thinks so.
151
What?
152
You tell me about your foot fungus, but this is a secret?
153
I'm sure it's just because I'm dating Sheldon.
154
Actually, I think Sheldon's popular because he's dating you.
155
Now Sheldon's popular?
156
What is happening?
157
Okay, how about you two?
158
Look, I got some extra tat sleeves.
159
Why are you carrying extras?
160
Well, in case I snag one on someone's nipple ring.
161
Uh, yeah, I think we'll pass.
162
Oh.
163
Is the missus speaking for the couple now?
164
In this case, you bet she is.
165
Yes, she's pushy, and yes, he's whipped, but that's not the expression.
166
Come on, I want to stop at Walgreens and pick up some more eyeliner.
167
They're gonna get beaten up at that club.
168
They're gonna get beaten up at Walgreens.
169
Walgreens.
170
Wait, excuse me.
171
You forgot my barbecue bacon cheeseburger.
172
Barbecue sauce, bacon, and cheese on the side.
173
Oh, I didn't tell you.
174
You're banished from the Cheesecake Factory.
175
Why?
176
Well, you have three strikes.
177
One coming in, two sitting down, and three, I don't like your attitude.
178
You can't do that.
179
Not only is it a violation of California state law, it flies directly in the face of Cheesecake Factory policy.
180
Yeah, no, there's a new policy.
181
No shoes, no shirt, no Sheldon.
182
I bet we could sell that sign all over Pasadena.
183
It's for the Nobel laureates.
184
We need them on our side, but unfortunately, Sheldon...
185
No, unfortunately, Sheldon, that's all you gotta say.
186
Well, so you need these people's support, and you're sending them baked goods?
187
Yeah, they're pretty smart.
188
Don't you think they're gonna realize it's just a bribe?
189
No, you'd think, but sometimes brilliant people can be painfully oblivious to social cues.
190
Thank you for pointing that out, Sheldon.
191
Anytime.
192
I was going to get my mail.
193
Okay.
194
Are you hoping to get it telepathically?
195
I think you mean telekinetically.
196
And no. I just wasn't sure of the proper protocol now that you and Leonard are no longer having coitus.
197
Oh, God, can we please just say no longer seeing each other?
198
Well, we could if it were true.
199
But as you live in the same building, you see each other all the time.
200
A variable which has changed is the coitus.
201
Okay, here's the protocol.
202
You and I are still friends, and you stopped saying coitus.
203
Good.
204
I'm glad we're still friends.
205
Really?
206
Oh, yes.
207
It was a lot of work to accommodate you in my life.
208
I'd hate for that effort to have been in vain.
209
Right.
210
Just to be clear, do I have to stop saying coitus with everyone or just you?
211
Everyone.
212
I need to prepare her now to save her from pain down the road.
213
Down the road?
214
Sheldon, she wanted to share a toothbrush holder with you, and now you're at an ice cream parlor trying to pick up women.
215
Well, anything can sound silly when you put it in that tone.
216
Honey, instead of worrying about pain you may cause in the future, How about trying to fix the pain you're causing her right now?
217
I'm sure you're right.
218
And I suppose I should apologize to you as well.
219
Okay.
220
That must have hurt, watching me look for other women without ever even considering you.
221
Please understand that I think of you as more of a nanny.
222
Just finish your ice cream so I can get you home to bed.
223
This came in the mail, and I want you to have it.
224
50 cents off Vagisil.
225
Think of me when you apply it.
226
Cal, can I just say, I've missed all of us hanging out together.
227
Yeah.
228
Me too.
229
Um, since when can Kuthropali talk in front of the girls without a beer?
230
Oh, that happened right after you left.
231
No one told me?
232
I can't believe we forgot to tell him.
233
Think of Sheldon when you apply it.
234
I made cookies in the shape of male genitals.
235
You really didn't have to...
236
Whoa! That is anatomic.
237
Thank you.
238
The veins are gummy worms.
239
Oh, look.
240
Jewish and Gentile.
241
I had extra dough.
242
Oh, that's Leonard.
243
He said they're about to cross the border.
244
I hope the boys don't get too crazy in Mexico.
245
Oh, yeah, right.
246
Lock up your daughters, or Sheldon might lecture them about the North American Free Trade Agreement.
247
Boy, that was a long night for me.
248
New contest.
249
What are you doing?
250
I am settling once and for all, who is the smartest around here?
251
Okay?
252
Are you ready?
253
Absolutely.
254
Bring it on.
255
Okay.
256
Marsha, Jan, and Cindy were the three daughters in what TV family?
257
The Brady Bunch.
258
Okay.
259
Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth as the lead singer in what group?
260
The Brady Bunch?
261
Van Halen.
262
All right.
263
Madonna was married to this Ridgemont High alum.
264
Oh, my God!
265
Sean Penn!
266
How do you know these things?
267
I go outside and I talk to people.
268
Okay, here.
269
What actor holds the record for being named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive?
270
William Shatner.
271
Wait.
272
I don't think it's Shatner.
273
Then it's gotta be Patrick Stewart.
274
No. Formal protest.
275
Alright, singer who sang Oops, I Did It Again?
276
Stupid idea.
277
No, what's stupid is a physicist who doesn't understand when you swing an axe, you don't let go.
278
For the tenth time, my mittens were slippery.
279
It's 70 degrees, you didn't need mittens.
280
You know how easily I blister.
281
Yes, yes, you bruise, you peel, it's like I'm married to an old piece of fruit.
282
Look, we could keep fighting and let it ruin our night, or we could stop and try to salvage the evening.
283
Fine.
284
Thank you.
285
Leonard?
286
Yeah?
287
There's something on the windshield.
288
Leonard?
289
Yeah?
290
Here's a tree on you.
291
If what you need is to spend your birthday in a bathroom, I'm happy to do it with you.
292
Everyone will think I'm weird.
293
Sweetie, you are weird.
294
you

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?

Praticare la conversazione in inglese tramite video è un metodo efficace per migliorare le proprie abilità linguistiche. Nel video "26 Times Penny Said What We Were All Thinking", possiamo vedere un dialogo vivace e naturale che offre numerose occasioni per imparare. Questo tipo di pratica di conversazione in inglese è utile perché consente di ascoltare come i madrelingua esprimono pensieri quotidiani, utilizzando espressioni colloquiali che possono risultare difficili da incontrare in un contesto più formale. Approfondire la comprensione di tali conversazioni aiuta gli studenti a sviluppare una comunicazione più fluida e naturale.

Grammatica & Espressioni nel Contesto

Nel video, sono presenti diverse espressioni e strutture grammaticali di interesse:

  • "What you got there?" - Un modo colloquiale per chiedere cosa qualcuno ha in mano. Questa espressione può essere usata per iniziative conversazionali.
  • "How's it going?" - Una domanda comune per chiedere come sta qualcun altro, utile per avviare una conversazione.
  • "Can I sleep on your couch tonight?" - Espressione diretta per chiedere un favore, che insegna a formulare richieste in modo semplice e chiaro.
  • "Believe it or not..." - Una frase introduttiva per esprimere incredulità, molto utilizzata nelle conversazioni quotidiane.

Queste espressioni sono utili anche nel shadow speech, in quanto permettono agli studenti di affinare la loro pronuncia e comprensione. Usando il shadowing con questo video, gli studenti possono riconoscere e ripetere frasi comuni per migliorare la loro fluidità.

Trappole Comuni nella Pronuncia

Durante l'ascolto del video, ci sono alcune parole e accenti che potrebbero presentare difficoltà agli studenti:

  • "thermostat" - La pronuncia corretta di questa parola è fondamentale, poiché molti giovani possono confondere il suono. Ricorda di enfatizzare la "th".
  • "humidifier" - Attenzione ai suoni "i" e "u", perché possono facilmente essere confusi.
  • "bear claw" - Questa espressione, che si riferisce a un dolce, può risultare difficile a causa della sua ortografia e pronuncia inconsueta.

Focalizzandosi su questi aspetti durante la pratica di conversazione in inglese e utilizzando tecniche di shadowing, gli studenti possono migliorare la loro pronuncia e acquisire maggiore fiducia nel parlare. Utilizzare contenuti come "imparare l'inglese con youtube" rappresenta un modo accessibile e divertente per esercitarsi regolarmente.

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.
