Creazione lezione...
1
Today is such a beautiful day, so I'm getting ready.
2
We're going to Kragorden, the archipelago, to just walk around, be by the water,
3
have a little fika, coffee, a little bit of a snack.
4
I'm premiering a skirt today because it is going to be I believe 23 degrees today
5
celsius which is definitely the warmest day of the year
6
so far and you just cannot take that for granted
7
but yeah because it's so warm I'm just doing a very light
8
little makeup although I tend to just do
9
that anyways definitely love a subtle no makeup makeup look
10
but I've also been using this lanolin cream as a lip balm and lanolin from my understanding
11
is a sort of fat that comes from underneath the wool of sheep
12
but then when I got this one my sister was like actually this is not very good for you
13
or it's not very good for the sheep
14
so I don't know I don't know if it's bad
15
that I'm using this and I want to show you a product
16
that I got very recently I've been using this one for
17
two weeks maybe it is a brow wax it's called the 24 hour brow setter
18
and i've been using a few different brow gels
19
and brow waxes they make your brows feel very stiff
20
and also they've been creating these little white residue this one i love
21
so far it's been two weeks it doesn't make your brows
22
feel stiff it doesn't leave a white residue i have not experienced
23
that at least and i love the brush and it just doesn't look
24
or feel like you have anything on so I like to just make a little bushy beginning of the world.
25
What's that?
26
It's a little dark.
27
It is such a beautiful day out here in Baxholm.
28
We are going to a cafeteria where we go anytime we're here.
29
It's really beautiful.
30
I'll show you.
31
And I can't remember what the name of it is, but I'll put the name here for you.
32
In case you're ever here and want to give it a visit.
33
Everything is much nicer in color.
34
Oh, wow.
35
Is this like a leg?
36
I love this about April beginning of May because suddenly everything has
37
so much color and everything is brought to life in a way that it really only does this time of year.
38
Oh, my
39
God.
40
Mmm, delicious.
41
So my sister forced me to wear this cap because she said that it looks like I have burned my forehead.
42
I'm not a cap girl.
43
But I'm gonna listen to her.
44
What a beautiful head.
45
Oh, these are the birds.
46
Look at these.
47
These are handmade...
48
...in Sweden?
49
Hand-made birds.
50
But it's like they're bottles.
51
Bulls.
52
Look at these, what beautiful they are.
53
Good morning, it's another day.
54
We had such a lovely day yesterday and I cannot recommend you enough to go and visit Wachsholm.
55
If you're around, it's quite touristy this time of the year, understandably, because it's gorgeous and no wonder people want to go there.
56
If I was a tourist, I would go there.
57
If I was a native, I would go there.
58
I've spent the entire morning cutting off my white hairs.
59
I started getting white hairs so early.
60
I think I was 13 when I got my first one
61
and then I got a couple more and then it's just been steady steadily increasing but now it is a lot.
62
I cannot flip my hair over without like five of them appearing.
63
It's not just the color, it is the texture, because white hairs are so stiff and rough.
64
They don't lie flat on my head, they just kind of stick out all over the place.
65
In the grand scheme of things, it's really not a big deal.
66
It does take some getting used to.
67
The skirt is secondhand from La Coste.
68
It's a cotton skirt, soft and nice.
69
This top is from Flor Floor, which is a brand that I really enjoy.
70
They have a lot of good organic cotton, I believe, basics.
71
And I'm doing a side part today, which I liked the way it looked in the mirror,
72
but now looking at myself in the camera, I'm not as sure.
73
Anyway, we'll see.
74
I think I'm gonna do the side part going for a nice picnic
75
and stroll in Madre de Friat
76
which is about an hour from the city we're going by car
77
so I'll take you with me on this beautiful sunny day and I hope you enjoy
78
I'm sorry.
79
I'm
80
going to
81
go to the next episode.
82
The next day we are going to be at the
83
And now I want to show you this place called Grepsholms Värtshaus here in Madalefried.
84
It's a really old place dating back to 1609.
85
You can really feel it when you step inside.
86
It has this strong renaissance feel with a lot of wooden details,
87
antique furniture and kind of dramatic rooms.
88
They offer hotel stays and restaurants.
89
I've never stayed here overnight and because we had a picnic today we didn't make any reservations here,
90
but I've eaten at the restaurant a few times before and have really enjoyed both the food and the historic atmosphere.
91
It's also right next to Grybsholms castle and overlooking Mälaren which only adds to its charm.
92
I'm sorry.
93
It's the day after
94
and I had such a lovely time yesterday today is super cloudy it's been raining
95
and i knew that that's why we made sure to make the most out of the weekend
96
and it was such a lovely day i couldn't have hoped for anything more
97
and now i just had a shower
98
and i want to show you a bit of a drink
99
that i've been enjoying so i'm someone who two drinks water with my food 10 out of 10 times.
100
I mean, I almost never buy sodas or any other drinks.
101
However, at night, I've been craving something sparkly, bubbly, this time of the year especially.
102
I love these glasses, by the way.
103
They're so nice to drink out of.
104
I got them many, many years ago from a Danish brand.
105
What is it called?
106
I'll put it on the screen here summer they're quite sensitive
107
I have broken majority of these I have two left I think it was five
108
when I bought them so keep that in mind
109
or just be careful but yeah I've been creating something sparkly at night
110
and today I spiced it up even more I had something sparkling with my lunch
111
spicing it up that's how peacefully we are living nowadays drinking something sparkly with your lunch
112
that is spicing it up
113
and it's not even alcohol i barely drink alcohol very very rarely there is just too much trauma in
114
that category i have been trying this one however
115
this one is a non-alcoholic rosé called galley bette i don't know
116
if it's a swedish brand i have no idea i got at the grocery store
117
and it's really really nice let me show you when i
118
pour it up because that's quite satisfying hold on okay here we go
119
and wait let me put the mic to the glass i
120
hope you can see hold on let me just really make sure that you can get the full ambience here.
121
Okay, I'm going to shut up now.
122
Did the mic pick that up?
123
I hope so.
124
So, yeah, I'm feeling very wild.
125
Young, wild, and free.
126
having some non-alcoholic rosé just a random day out of the
127
week instead of water although I'll always be a big water lover over anything but spicy things up .

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.
