Pratica di Shadowing: A Summer Weekend in Cornwall, UK - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

It is so hot in the UK today.

I think it's it's 24 degrees right here.

I am going to go to the beach.

I do have work I have to do today but honestly the weather is too nice.

It's too nice So I'm going to make the most of it and yeah, get out there and enjoy.

First, I need to really quickly pack my bag for the beach.

This is my beach bag.

I'm just going to bring a couple of things.

So I'm going to bring my sun cream.

I'm going to bring my sun cream and also a book, I think.

Oh my God.

Oh, fuck.

Look, it's a wasp.

Oh my god.

Oh god, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.

I'm back.

I had to disappear for a minute.

That was too much.

I hate wasps.

I hate bees.

And actually, in my bedroom yesterday, a hornet came in.

There was like a hornet that came into my bedroom.

You know what those are?

Like fucking big wasps.

Horrible.

What I was trying to say is I'm going to bring my Kindle because I like reading on my Kindle,

especially when I'm reading in my second language because I can check the meaning of the words a bit easier.

So I'm going to bring my Kindle as well.

I'm in a bit of a rush because the beach I want to visit is only there at low tide.

So when the sea is far away from the beach, I can explain the tides a bit more later

but right now we've got to go we have to go

there's not very much sand on the beach normally this beach is really sandy

but there's not loads of sand which is weird

but I'm still going to head down and um and chill for a little bit, read my book.

Gonna head down these steps onto the beach.

While I'm here I am going to be reading A Court of Thorns and Roses which is like a fantasy romance book.

I'm reading it in Spanish because that's the language that I'm loving.

Also today

when i was about to leave the house remember the bee the wasp

that was in my room i think that was like foreshadowing

because as soon as i stopped filming a hornet came in like a massive hornet the same hornet as yesterday

and i don't know why it's like continuously trying to be in my bedroom

but i hate it i'm gonna stay down here until lunchtime so lunchtime is about one o'clock

um at that point the tide is going to come in we have tides here in cornwall

so we have low tide and high tide some beaches have this some beaches don't

but what that means is at various times of the day the sea will be far out

so there will be lots of beach

and at other times of the day the tide will come in

and there will not be a lot of beach

so down here today high tide where the beach is smaller

high tide is at about 2 pm this is a tidal beach

so right now there is beach or rocks

but later later there won't be so i'm going to enjoy it

while there's still beach i think before the tide comes in

i am going to go for a quick swim a quick dip in the sea

I am now leaving the beach.

The beach is just by me.

I am going to go and meet my sister who is going to a different beach.

There's so many beaches nearby where we live.

So I'm going to head over there I was planning on working I think probably

that can wait I haven't seen her in ages I I

did go as well for a proper swim I put down my camera

and uh yeah like went in I did not get my hair wet

but it was so nice there's so many beautiful places here look

look at this hotel and this this is the view

that the hotel has and you can see over there is a small harbour as well

but you can see the difference in the beach right

because the tide has come in there is less beach

so basically if if you do come to Cornwall you need to be careful

not to get stuck on

the rocks basically

I just

got back from the beach with my sister.

It was so nice, but now I'm going to get ready

because I have to teach a class at half four and it's now 20 to four.

I just went downstairs to film me making a coffee before my class,

which starts in 20 minutes.

I've got an iced caramel latte, obviously.

Or maybe not obviously, maybe you don't know me, but I always drink an iced latte.

I was filming me make it, and then I realized that everything was in slow motion. So that's cool.

That's cool that I can't use that clip.

My plan now is I have one class today, just one class with one of my regular students who is super cool.

He's the best.

And then I'm probably going to sit in this office and edit this video that I'm working on right now.

I sometimes think, I don't know if you get this, but warm weather makes me feel quite sleepy.

I go to the beach and then I'm so tired like I'm

so tired right now and it's four o'clock in the afternoon

so I'm gonna have a coffee and hope

that helps me get some energy

and um yeah just do do some work good morning I am here with Wilson Wilson is a bit worried

because it's another really really gorgeous sunny day.

So we have the doors open in the house

and they keep slamming shut and he doesn't like the noise so he's a bit nervous.

This morning I have woken up and I've been working on a video.

It's this one, my floor day video.

I don't know if that's up, you'll see it.

I've not had a coffee yet

so have to edit the video today that's kind of my my main job

and I also have a couple hours of classes to teach just like two two hours or so

100

and Wilson is here

101

we are now going to plant up one of these pots in the garden we being myself

102

and Wilson who hopefully will sit with me

103

while I do this we have a few different flowers

104

which we are going to put in here

105

and um this is a a trowel the first thing we're going to do is we are going to put

106

this flower

107

which is cosmos cosmos in the middle you can see here the roots on it as well okay

108

and what we do is we dig a little hole not too deep

109

and then just put it in the middle and cover it.

110

What are these other ones?

111

Calibra, Calibra Choa.

112

Calibra Choa.

113

We then have some other flowers to put around the outside as well.

114

So I'm going to squidge the pot,

115

squidge it like this, and then plant this one as well, just like this.

116

I don't think I really need the trowel, to be honest.

117

this one is like a foliage plant it's called goldilocks

118

which i don't know if you know

119

that child kind of like children's story it's um it's about like a girl who goes into a house with

120

bears in it's common in the uk i don't know

121

if you know the story she's called goldilocks because her locks are golden locks being being hair How the hell?

122

There we go.

123

Okay.

124

I'm gonna put this one just here.

125

Wilson is back helping me.

126

And then we've just got two more.

127

So there's this flower here, which is scented.

128

So this one has a stronger smell.

129

It's called Easter bonnet, which if you watched my spring video, you will have seen some Easter bonnets.

130

a type of hat worn, type of hat worn in Easter time,

131

like children make these kind of special Easter hats.

132

Again, I squidge the pot to take it out and then cover it back over.

133

And the last one is this purple petunia, which is going to go right here at the front.

134

so again I squidge squidge the pot and there we go

135

and everything is is planted the final the final look on the pot

136

and this will grow um over by the table outside it's

137

cute looks super cute not too bad of a way to spend my lunch hour

138

it's a little bit later in the day um I have not filmed very much today

139

because I feel a bit nervous well not nervous mostly really excited

140

because this is how many subscribers I am on right now 99,933.

141

Oh, it's just killing me.

142

I want it to hit 100,000. So bad.

143

So I keep, I keep watching it and not focusing on my work, which is not good.

144

Me and Wilson just went for a walk and I was gonna film that and then I completely forgot my camera.

145

I just feel, I feel a bit distracted today.

146

I think I'm excited probably you can tell he he had

147

a good walk I think now I I'm going to try

148

and edit a video and not watch the counter too much

149

but we'll see we will see if that works or not

150

153

go can you see oh my

154

god yeah i can see it oh my god shut up Look at that.

155

Shut 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.
