Hello and welcome to Real Easy English, the podcast where we have everyday conversations in easy English.
2
I'm Georgie.
3
And I'm Neil.
4
Don't forget to visit our website to find a text version of this podcast so you can read along.
5
Hi Neil, how are things?
6
I'm very well, thank you Georgie.
7
And how about you?
8
How's your week going?
9
My week's going really well, thank you.
10
And I'm excited because later I have choir practice.
11
Ah, choir practice.
12
That means you sing with other people.
13
It does.
14
Well, that's good because we're talking all about hobbies.
15
And those are the activities that we do after work or college or at the weekends.
16
So Neil, I go to choir.
17
Do you have any hobbies?
18
Yes, I also have a musical hobby.
19
I like to play guitar.
20
Nice.
21
How often do you play the guitar?
22
It depends.
23
Sometimes I play for a long time and often.
24
Usually if I've heard a song I like, I want to learn how to play it.
25
And then sometimes I don't play it at all for a while, for weeks.
26
Okay.
27
So you go through phases, I suppose.
28
Yeah.
29
And how about your choir?
30
Tell me more about that.
31
Well, so I go to choir practice weekly, every Monday, and at the moment we're practicing for a Christmas concert.
32
We did just do a concert, which was really fun, and we've got another one, another one coming.
33
Right, OK.
34
And do you really enjoy the singing?
35
How does it make you feel?
36
I love the singing because I put my phone in my bag
37
and I just sing with my friends
38
and we have a really nice group of people that do choir so I really enjoy it.
39
So Neil, you like playing the guitar but maybe there's a new hobby you'd like to try?
40
Yeah, so I've been playing guitar for many years but I don't have any training and I can't read music.
41
So I thought that maybe I should learn piano and learn properly.
42
Oh, that would be good.
43
Then you can play the piano with my choir.
44
OK.
45
When do I start?
46
Next Monday.
47
So do you have any hobbies that aren't musical?
48
Yes.
49
I like doing some exercise.
50
So I like running and I like doing yoga.
51
At the moment, I'm not running regularly.
52
I'm running probably monthly, so once a month, which is not very good.
53
I'd like to run more.
54
Yeah, I also run, but I struggle to do it regularly.
55
I think if you do it twice or three times a week, it's easy to keep going.
56
But once you stop, you stop for a long time.
57
I completely agree.
58
It's difficult to stick to a routine with running, I find.
59
It's very easy to lose your routine.
60
So Georgie, you go to choir regularly, but you don't run regularly.
61
What's this word, regularly?
62
Well, regularly means that you do something often as part of a regular routine.
63
So, for example, I regularly get a coffee when I come to work.
64
So I get a coffee most times I come to work.
65
But I don't regularly buy lunch.
66
I usually bring my own lunch from home.
67
Saves money.
68
Neil, what about unusual hobbies?
69
Do you have any unusual hobbies?
70
I suppose I do.
71
I quite like making sauerkraut.
72
OK, sauerkraut.
73
What is sauerkraut?
74
It's a kind of food.
75
You get some cabbage and you slice it thinly and you add some salt.
76
you crush it and you leave it and after a while it changes into something new, which is very good for your stomach.
77
OK, so why do you like making sauerkraut, Neil?
78
It's very relaxing and it takes a while for it to be right.
79
And I think in today's world we do lots of things that happen very quickly.
80
So it's kind of old-fashioned but satisfying.
81
OK, makes sense.
82
I wouldn't do it, but I'm glad you have found something you love.
83
Well, let's recap the language we learned during the conversation.
84
We heard weekly, which means every week.
85
Yes, and monthly, every month.
86
We heard regularly, often.
87
We also heard the word choir, a group of people who sing together.
88
Yes.
89

Cosa imparerai

Questo video ti aiuterà a parlare delle tue passioni in inglese in modo naturale, con frasi utili per descrivere quante volte le pratichi, come ti fanno sentire e anche i nuovi hobby che vuoi provare. Imparerai anche a interrogare un compagno sulle sue attività libere, usando domande come "How often do you...?" o "Do you have any hobbies that...?". Oltre a questo, migliorerai la capacità di seguire un dialogo quotidiano con un tono semplice ma autentico, perfetto per le conversazioni reali.

Ascolta questi suoni

Nella conversazione, noterai alcuni esempi di connessione tra le parole, tipica dell'inglese parlato. Ad esempio, "I'm very well" diventa quasi "I'm v'ry well" (la "e" di "very" si riduce), e "How about you?" suona spesso "How 'bout you?" (la "a" di "about" si fonde con il "h" di "how"). Anche "I like to play guitar" può essere pronunciato "I like t'play guitar" (la "o" di "to" si riduce a un suono veloce). Questi dettagli fanno la differenza per sembrare più fluente.

Parla come un madrelingua

Per imitare il ritmo e l'enfasi dei parlanti, usa la tecnica del shadowspeak (o shadow speak): ascolta una frase, pausa e ripetila immediatamente, cercando di copiare il tono e la velocità. Ad esempio, quando Georgie dice "I love the singing because I put my phone in my bag and I just sing with my friends", metti l'enfasi su "love", "just" e "friends" per trasmettere entusiasmo. Neil, invece, usa una tonalità più calma in "It depends. Sometimes I play for a long time and often" – nota come "depends" e "long time" sono pronunciati con un po' più di lunghezza. Pratica questo esercizio ogni giorno: è il modo migliore per imparare l'inglese con YouTube e migliorare la tua pronuncia.

I metodi come lo shadowspeak o lo shadow speech sono provati per rafforzare la memoria muscolare e la confidenza nella lingua. Non sottovalutare l'importanza di ripetere i dialoghi: ogni volta che lo fai, le frasi diventano più naturali e la tua capacità di parlare in inglese si rafforza.

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.
