I'm sure you are familiar with a series of videos on my YouTube channel titled Speak English With Me.
2
I received an incredible amount of positive reviews on those videos from people saying
3
that they helped them significantly with their speaking skills.
4
And here's what our practice will look like.
5
First, I'll perform the entire dialogue so that you have an example of how it should sound.
6
Then the dialogue will be broken down into two parts for practice.
7
In the first part, I'll start the dialogue by saying my lines and then you will see your lines on the screen.
8
You'll need to read your lines off the screen out loud as if we were conversing with each other.
9
In the second part, we'll reverse the roles.
10
Your line will come first followed by mine.

La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | will be broken · is based · will be applied |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've started |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | will look · I'll perform · will be |
| Obbligo: must / have to / need to dire che qualcosa è necessario | need to read · need to start · need to do |
Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 30 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'll, you're, I'm. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: electricity /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪsɪti/, consecutive /kənˈsɛkjʊtɪv/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: assist /əˈsɪst/, deposit /dɪˈpɑ.zɪt/, dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/, reflect /ɹɪˈflɛkt/, consecutive /kənˈsɛkjʊtɪv/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: activate /ˈæktɪˌveɪt/, lastly /ˈlæstli/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come assist, deposit, dialogue.
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.
