Creazione lezione...
1
Good morning, today we are in London.
2
This is an iced latte with honey.
3
Today we are spending the day in London.
4
I used to live in London while I was at university.
5
So I lived in London for four years while I was studying.
6
So for me, honestly, the touristy side of London is It's a bit boring.
7
I thought that we could check out some more local neighbourhoods today and Yeah,
8
see a little bit more of what the city is really like right now We are down by the Thames
9
so behind me you can see the city It's called the city the section of London.
10
It's associated with like the business side of London the banks and things like this Sweden this morning.
11
I had a flight at 7 :00 a .m.
12
It's now 9 :15 so we have the whole day ahead of us.
13
The plan is to drop our suitcases off at a hotel and then we're going to grab some brunch.
14
This right next to us is the HMS Belfast which is like an old battleship, it's quite cool.
15
We are heading to London Bridge Station, which is only like five minutes walk away.
16
We are stopping for brunch.
17
We are in an area called, I've forgotten, London Fields.
18
So we're in London Fields which is quite a cool area, it's quite trendy.
19
We've ordered a couple breakfasts like with like ricotta cheese we're waiting for that.
20
No salt Javier seriously.
21
Today there is a heat wave in London
22
so I don't know how hot it is right now but it's going to get to 30 degrees
23
To be honest with you, heatwaves in London are really shit because there's a lot of concrete,
24
there's a lot of concrete and a lot of really high buildings There's not a lot of breeze.
25
We're quite lucky where we are right now there is like a little bit of wind
26
but generally there's not a lot of breeze.
27
It's just impossible to escape the heat.
28
Like the tube is boiling, the buses are boiling.
29
There's also basically no AC in London except in like a hotel.
30
But hopefully today alongside showing you some neighborhoods.
31
I can also show you how we survive the heat waves as well.
32
Finding an outdoor garden like an outdoor cafe
33
or an outdoor bar is a really common thing to do
34
so we found this little outdoor cafe it's called E5 I think E5 Bakery
35
but beer gardens are popular going to parks is very popular as well
36
which is what we're going to do next we another coffee.
37
This is my my third one of today.
38
This is an iced latte with honey.
39
Normally I like to have my coffee with caramel, but they have no caramel, that's quite common.
40
in London, in somewhere like super trendy, they usually don't have like a syrup so I get honey Who cares?
41
Um...
42
Thank you!
43
All right.
44
- Thank you.
45
What a cute little car.
46
The cafe we went to was amazing.
47
I would definitely recommend it.
48
We really enjoyed the food and it was just cool.
49
Like all of the people in there were very cool.
50
There were lots of people in there on like first dates.
51
So it was really fun to, I mean, this is so bad, but I love eavesdropping.
52
on people, on dates.
53
I love trying to work out if I think it's going well.
54
or not so We're eavesdropping, eavesdropping some free furniture.
55
Thank you.
56
- - Something that I think lots of people don't know or maybe don't see in London when they're here.
57
are the canals and the canal boats.
58
Oh man, maybe more hens!
59
Oh, shut up.
60
- Yeah.
61
That's a moorhan. with chicks.
62
Thank you.
63
- Thank you.
64
Oh my god that's so cute.
65
But if you come to London, I think walking down by the canals It's so lovely.
66
So this is Victoria Canal.
67
There are others in the city as well.
68
There's a place called Little Venice which is full.
69
of canal boats and I definitely recommend checking it out while you're here - There are so many birds chirping.
70
Thank you.
71
London is a massive city.
72
I think it's 9 million people live here in London.
73
But it's very sprawling.
74
So sprawling means it's very wide.
75
Obviously the city of London that I showed you earlier has a lot of skyscrapers but
76
This area we're in right now has lots more of these like small
77
old townhouses and this is accessible by tube it's a cool place to visit Maybe if you're here for...
78
more than a weekend.
79
Like if you're here just for one weekend, There are probably some more I don't know, impressive?
80
landmarks to see like all of the museums, there are so many museums.
81
There are so many museums to see and so many monuments, so maybe you won't make it here, but if you're here for like a few days or If you're in London for study abroad,
82
This is a really cool area.
83
If I were moving back to London, I would probably, I'd probably move back into this area.
84
It's also quite green.
85
As you can see, there's lots of flowers and things on the streets.
86
It's gorgeous gorgeous in summer.
87
- some cute whites Terrace houses.
88
Probably Victorian, I think.
89
and straight ahead here is the Victoria Park.
90
Thank you.
91
I'm sleeping all that this time.
92
There are lots of people sunbathing.
93
A lot of us like to be tan.
94
So there's lots of people sunbathing.
95
There's also people like running.
96
which is crazy because it's 30 degrees.
97
But honestly, we're not very used to the heat.
98
So I think a lot of us just don't actually know like what you should be doing.
99
Lots of people like to have like a tinny A tinny in the park so I have a rhubarb and what?
100
A gin.
101
rhubarb and ginger tonic and what people will do is They will come to the park on a sunny day.
102
and yeah just buy a drink from the local supermarket.
103
from a nearby supermarket and yeah, just enjoy a drink in the park with their friends.
104
might bring a speaker or they might sunbathe and just have a have a tinny So.
105
Cheers.
106
We're going to finish up these drinks and we're going to head back towards Shoreditch area.
107
Hey.
108
Um, well...
109
I am now in a hotel.
110
This afternoon I said I was going to show you around Brick Lane.
111
and Guys, I haven't chained you around Brick Lane.
112
I came back to the hotel and I fell asleep.
113
I've been up since so early this morning.
114
So I'm just feeling like so Tired like really really tired and I just needed to have a nap,
115
but It's now about 6 :00 p .m.
116
I think actually half six and Oh!
117
It's actually it's 10. to seven.
118
I'm now going to meet a friend for dinner and maybe get some drinks as well.
119
The plan is I'm going to get ready super quickly.
120
I'm just in the same outfit as before.
121
I'm going to head out into London.
122
So Today is Thursday.
123
Thursday is quite a fun night, I think, because not everybody, but many people work from home, especially like on a Friday.
124
So usually like people like to get drinks on a Thursday.
125
It's quite fun.
126
So there's usually a pretty good vibe, especially on a warm, sunny day like today.
127
It should be nice to go out and grab a drink.
128
I also am really hungry.
129
I was planning on eating something else today, this afternoon, like a late lunch and then have a late dinner.
130
But I fell asleep, so I think I'm going to get a pizza with my friend from from uni.
131
Lots of people worry that London is maybe like a dangerous.
132
city There's lots of discussions about like knife crime and phone snatching and stuff.
133
I think London, I feel very safe in London.
134
Actually, as far as like anywhere I've lived, I feel very comfortable in London.
135
I feel happy walking around at night.
136
I felt happy like going around by myself in the day.
137
I actually think even in like four years I never had a bad experience living in London,
138
which maybe that's like me being very lucky or being very privileged in the places that I'm in.
139
I personally have had way more bad experiences in the United States.
140
Well, the United States, only California.
141
I lived in California for one year.
142
Personally, for me, compared to like my experience in the US, the UK feels very safe.
143
So come to London, it's a great city.
144
And yeah, I'm going to head out now.
145
I'm on my way to my friends now.
146
I have ordered a pizza It's only from Domino's.
147
Is that so bad?
148
She wants like a proper Italian pizza and I was like I'm gonna bring one from Domino's.
149
Which normally I think I have good taste in food but Domino's is like a guilty pleasure. of mine.
150
It's like I shouldn't love it, but I do.
151
Also, ignore my shoulder.
152
It's a little bit sunburned. That sucks.
153
I forgot my sun cream today.
154
It was in my big suitcase, so I didn't actually put any on.
155
Anyway.
156
- Thank you.
157
I'm in the same bathroom.
158
So I have just got back from being out.
159
I went to one of my friend's apartments to have pizza.
160
She is doing an internship in the city so I got to catch up with her.
161
And then I met up with my brother for some drinks.
162
It's been a really good day.
163
My channel is full up.
164
hopefully is interesting.
165
It's like, you know, listening practice videos for beginner and intermediate learners.
166
That just leaves me to say thank you so, so much for watching, and I will see you in the next video.
167
Bye.

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.
