First we're going to talk about family, then friends, then romantic relationships.

So today we're talking about family memories.
5
Are you ready?

Let's get started.
7
Today, I have a special guest to introduce you to.
8
This is my husband, Daniel.
9
Hello.
10
Or do you want to go by Dan?
11
You can call me Dan.
12
You would know.
13
Okay.

15
So today, Dan is going to share some stories about his family with us, and then throughout the course.
16
He's going to also take part in our conversation lessons.
17
Are you ready?
18
I'm ready.
19
All right.
20
So today we're going to talk about family.
21
And are there any interesting, fun, scary, strange family memories that you have that you'd like to share with everyone?
22
Sure.
23
I have a memory of when I was a child.
24
So when I was maybe nine years old or so, my mother told my brother and I to go to bed, and we went to bed, but just like most children, we wanted to play a lot.
25
So we had a bunk bed, so that's a bed below and a bed on top, and we were playing on the bunk bed, and on the bunk bed, there's a railing, and the railing was loose, so you could kind of swing it back and forth and it would make a loud sound and we thought that was funny so the scary part of this story is that the railing had nails at the end of it so when my brother was swinging the the railing back and forth my face somehow got in the way and the railing smacked me in the face with the nail so in my bed I was lying down with blood rolling down my face and my mom she thought we were just playing you were screaming and yeah mom help me right so I was like mommy mommy and my mom said be quiet up there so she wanted us to go to sleep still.
26
So like a good child, I went to sleep with blood on my face.
27
So then later that night when I was sleeping, my mom came upstairs and saw me sleeping, but I had dried blood all over my face and she was like, ah!
28
So that was a scary story for my mom, especially, I think.
29
Yeah, but were you hurt badly?
30
Were you hurt permanently?
31
Was it okay?
32
No, I don't even think there's a scar or anything.
33
It's just, it must have been like a very little nail hit my face.
34
You're lucky it didn't hit your eye.
35
Yes, I'm very lucky, but it was a very funny story in hindsight, but for my mother, it was not very funny.
36
Sure, in hindsight, it's okay, but not at the moment.
37
Exactly.
38
oh sure so how about for you do you have any stories um yes so one of the stories about my family is also from my childhood and so i have uh some of you might know i have a sister a younger sister and when we were younger of course like every child at christmas we didn't want to wait for christmas to find out what our Christmas presents were so sometimes we would scheme and plan and try to find a way where we could open our Christmas presents before Christmas so sometimes a few days before Christmas our parents would put Christmas presents under the tree just to tempt us but while they were outside doing something or asleep at night my sister and I would go downstairs and open just one or two Christmas presents but we'd carefully pry open the tape and they'll peek inside and sometimes we pulled it out like oh and then we put it carefully back.
39
Wait, you took out the whole present sometimes?
40
Sometimes we did if it was possible to not mess up the wrapping.
41
Oh very sneaky.
42
Yes but we had to satisfy our curiosity so we would put them carefully back into the wrapping and then put the tape down but we were worried that maybe on Christmas morning our parents would think oh why aren't they surprised about their presence so my sister and I would practice making surprised faces so that evening when we were secretly opening them we'd practice pretending to open them like oh whoa just to practice ridiculous surprise faces because we didn't want anyone to find out that we'd really seen the present ahead of time and it worked well Wow.
43
The surprised faces worked.
44
Yes, yes.
45
So it worked.
46
And Christmas morning, my sister and I just laughed and laughed because we knew that each other's surprise faces were just fake.
47
Right.
48
Did your parents think you were seriously laughing?
49
Like just excited?
50
Oh, of course, of course.
51
They were completely naive and had no idea.
52
Wow.
53
I think maybe later in life we confessed and told them, oh, back when we were younger, we used to secretly open the presents.
54
but I don't even know if they were upset.
55
It's one of those funny stories.
56
Right, yeah.
57
Oh, yes.
58
Probably not upset anymore.
59
Yeah, they probably didn't care.
60
So thank you for sharing a story about your family.
61
You're welcome.
62
And I hope you enjoyed my story about my childhood as well.
63
And today, thank you for watching day two.
64
It's day two today.
65
And if you are a super English member, make sure that you watch this week's bonus video about family.
66
And now for everyone, I have a question that I want you to answer out loud as best as you can.
67
What is a good memory from your childhood?
68
Or a bad memory or a scary memory like Dan's.
69
And I'll talk to you later.
70
Goodbye.
71
Bye-bye.

Perché esercitarsi a parlare con questo video?

Questo video offre un'opportunità unica per migliorare la pronuncia inglese attraverso conversazioni familiari. L'argomento delle relazioni, in particolare quello della famiglia, è qualcosa con cui tutti possiamo relazionarci. Ascoltando e replicando le storie e le espressioni condivise, non solo migliorerai le tue abilità orali, ma potrai anche tuffarti in un contesto emotivo e personale. Utilizzare il metodo del shadow speak ti permette di apprendere mentre ascolti e ripeti simultaneamente, ottimizzando così il processo di apprendimento.

Grammatica & Espressioni nel Contesto

  • Phrases for sharing stories: Frasi come "I have a memory of when I was a child" e "this is my husband" sono strutture utili per introdurre racconti personali e presentare persone, essenziali per impostare conversazioni.
  • Uso dei tempi verbali: L'uso del passato ("I was lying down") aiuta a descrivere eventi passati, una competenza che arricchisce la tua espressione orale.
  • Domande retoriche: Lo speaker utilizza domande come "Are you ready?" per coinvolgere l'ascoltatore, fornendo un esempio di come stimolare la conversazione.

Trappole comuni nella pronuncia

In questo video, alcuni termini potrebbero risultare complicati da pronunciare correttamente. Parole come “Christmas” e “presents” possono presentare sfide fonetiche per chi non è madrelingua. Inoltre, fai attenzione alle intonazioni nel dialogo, poiché il tono cambia a seconda dell'emozione espressa, il che è fondamentale nel shadowing in inglese. Ripetere queste frasi ad alta voce ti aiuterà a superare queste difficoltà e ad affinare la tua pronuncia inglese.

Praticando con questo video e utilizzando tecniche di shadowing, avrai l'opportunità di integrare nuove strutture grammaticali e frasi nella tua conversazione quotidiana, migliorando notevolmente la tua fluidità e confidenza nel parlare inglese.

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.
