Pratica di Shadowing: Billie Eilish: Same Interview, The Eighth Year | Vanity Fair - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Once again, like it happens every year, I thought I had more time.

And then it's October 18th.

Again.

My name is Billie Eilish.

Billie Eilish.

I'm Billie Eilish.

I'm looking at all the frozen years past.

Love you all.

I'm Billie Eilish.

I think it's October 18th.

It's October 18th.

October 18th.

I'm 15.

16. 17.

18. 19.

20. 21.

I'm 22.

This is the first year in my life that I keep forgetting how old I am.

257,000.

6.3 million.

40.7.

67.5.

94.1 million followers.

106. About 110.

120 million?

Another year.

Seven years.

This is the eighth video, right?

But it was seven years ago today that we started this.

We didn't put out a video last year, it's true.

A big, big year.

Just the whole Barbie thing.

Swarm, tour.

I finally played Brazil, labyrinth.

Yeah, live at the O2.

Yeah, Coachella, bad guy, went diamond.

I'm back on my bullshit, I wanna do more.

What does that mean, I wanna do more?

Wow, why was I yelling?

I've spent a lot of time in the last, like this summer, looking at videos and photos from like this month.

Since then, so much has happened.

It's nonsense.

I have the most monthly listeners right on Spotify in the entire world.

So I surpassed 100 million monthly listeners.

And then now I am the most streamed artist in the world on Spotify.

I released my album, went on tour again.

I made so many new friends, adopted another dog.

It's been a friendship-filled year.

I and Phineas won an Oscar for, what was I made for?

I can't even really describe how amazing that was.

And then it was like we were the youngest people in history to win two or something crazy.

Ooh, did I predict it?

Am I gonna win the Oscar?

I don't know.

We're manifesting, but we're also not gonna be disappointed and angry if I don't.

And I do think objectively, it is one of the best songs I've ever made.

I don't, I think it's crazy that we would win again.

Again.

Yeah, I kind of can't believe that happened again.

I feel proud of it and I'm proud to have made it.

Proud that it is of me.

Wanna rescue some horses?

Maybe skydive?

Like a bungee jump off a cliff or something?

I really wanna do stuff like that.

Things that I could die because of.

I want to adventure so bad.

I do wanna skydive, haven't done that yet.

Be doing racing, be doing stunt driving.

I definitely want some more piercings.

I want some more tattoos.

Another dog, be hanging out with your family, be making new friends, be having new friends, be having good sex.

Got there.

I've done nothing but make friends all year and gotten

so close with people that I wasn't with before

and became friends with people I used to be friends with again and just like, it's just been a year filled with friendship which honestly,

even though I was saying a lot of things that I want to do, that was the real, that was like the thing

that I wanted to do and I really did it and it was awesome.

And yes, I've had a lot of good sex, so you're welcome, Billy.

I want you to have fixed the little chip.

You can see it.

2018, did it to me.

And when I'm smiling, my tooth is so ugly whiten those suckers.

Oh my God.

I'll have you know, Miss Red Hair, that I chipped another tooth.

So not only did I not fix the other chip, but I also chipped another one.

So now I have a chip here and a chip here.

I also remember really wanting me at that time to fix this little gap as well.

And I'm in the process.

Okay.

God.

Hopefully you keep doing what you're doing because I hope that what you're doing is good.

Don't do that thing again where you just do what somebody else wants to do.

We're not going to let somebody take away my sparkle, as they say.

Solid advice.

100

And I haven't done that.

101

That really has stuck in my head.

102

And I think that I used to pretend like I was doing that.

103

But I think since then, I really have been doing that and I don't, I'm really, I really trust myself.

104

And I think like, especially that 2022 girl, I don't think like I trusted her.

105

So I really trust myself now and I'm not gonna let any of that stuff happen again.

106

And it hasn't happened again.

107

And I've been very cautious about that.

108

And it's always scary when you, you know, fall in love or you're, you know, seeing someone or you like someone or whatever it is.

109

And it's hard to know what the hell's going on because you're kind of blinded by this like curtain of like,

110

you know, lust and love and admiration.

111

So I was very cautious and have been cautious.

112

I'm currently cautious and I've been really a good girl.

113

So not disappointing you, I promise.

114

Brockhampton.

115

Tierra Whack.

116

Techno.

117

Arlo Parks.

118

The Doe, Cake, The Cardigans, Dora, You Know Who, and then also me.

119

Deftones, a lot of Deftones, Mazzy Star, this album called Sunburn by Dominic Fike.

120

Honestly, I've been listening to a lot of Lady Gaga, like old Lady Gaga, it's so good.

121

Alejandro and Poker Face and G-U-Y and Born This Way.

122

Fruitvale Station.

123

Eye Origins.

124

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a solid choice.

125

Sicario.

126

That shit is fire.

127

Fruitvale Station.

128

That movie's fucking fire though.

129

It's a great movie. But, Secretary.

130

I feel really good about it.

131

I think we're like 85% done.

132

Maybe 90.

133

It's very genuinely like what I wanted to make, I think.

134

It's true.

135

Like it was just such a drag.

136

It was so punishing, but I feel like it is the best thing that Phineas and I have ever made.

137

And I'm so endlessly proud of it.

138

Like you don't even know.

139

I used to have this feeling with my music, like I liked it, but I was kind of embarrassed for people that I thought were cool to listen to it.

140

Like anytime somebody that I thought was really cool said they listened to my song,

141

I'd get all embarrassed and nervous and kind of frustrated and annoyed honestly, I'd be like, no, don't listen to that.

142

Like, that's private.

143

And I think I wasn't as proud of it.

144

And I think that now in my life and where I am in my career, I really stand for my music.

145

Like, I feel really proud of it.

146

There's this one song called Lunch that I think people might like a lot.

147

There's a song called Birds of a Feather.

148

Damn, I'm giving you titles.

149

Whoa.

150

My prediction then that I don't know why I didn't even say, but it was what I was thinking then was, I thought Lunch would be the hit, but I also remember being like,

151

but watch, Birds of a Feather is going to end up being the real hit.

152

Lunch was like big when this album came out.

153

And then Birds, Birds is number one.

154

Lowest point of the year was probably in January.

155

I had a meeting with like my managers and stuff.

156

They were showing me the schedule for the whole year.

157

And I sat there and was totally silent and totally still and just tears like just streamed down my face.

158

That was a horrible, horrible day.

159

Gosh, I mean, you know, I was like, I had just turned 17 and life was seeming very dawnful.

160

and ended up being even more intense than I ever cried about.

161

If I had really known how it would all go, I would have been bawling my eyes out for days,

162

but also I would have been excited at the same time.

163

The reason I was crying in that story is because I was looking at my touring schedule and it was like,

164

you know, it's horrifying to see your life planned out like that two years in advance.

165

It's like, especially for like a little girl, I wish that I hadn't had to deal with that,

166

but also like my life's fucking awesome and I'm really lucky at the same time.

167

Touring used to be something that

168

was extremely unpleasant and I would dread it

169

and I would only dread it

170

and the only reason I you know did it at all was

171

because I love performing and I always have and even

172

when I dreaded those tours and you know hated the whole process I loved performing at the end of the day

173

I had this moment like a year ago or two, a year ago, I think, where I was kind of like,

174

touring is, doesn't have to be miserable.

175

And I don't have to just sit through it and take it.

176

I can make it fun.

177

I mean, I'm the fucking boss, for God's sake and I sat down with my touring team and I was like,

178

let's figure out all the ways to make this fun

179

because this is my job and it's my life and I want to keep doing it and I don't want to,

180

you know, be so tortured by it that I end up never doing it again because I'm resentful of, you know.

181

And so I've created a, you know,

182

surrounding that is just like joyous and filled with

183

laughter and love and for the first time in my life once again I'm

184

the words are coming out of my mouth that are

185

I wish this tour would never end I do have a concert tonight Yeah,

186

and I had one last night and the night before that

187

and tomorrow I'm on SNL three show nights in a row is like A lot But it's okay.

188

It was at the crocodile in Seattle and it was like 500 I think

189

Was that me saying that was my biggest show Wow It's impossible to try to to,

190

you know, take in and acknowledge even.

191

I mean, it's so, I can't really think about it too much because it'll make me cry.

192

And then it'll also give me an existential crisis.

193

But I can't believe the way my life has gone and where it is now.

194

I mean, it's just like the craziest fucking thing in the world.

195

No one.

196

You listeners don't understand how unpleasant it is to collaborate with people.

197

It is not a fun experience.

198

The back-to-back.

199

I mean, it's Charlie, though.

200

But it's Charlie.

201

Also, Charlie and I did this collab in the greatest way possible like my ideal way where,

202

you know, she put out her amazing album.

203

Guess was on the extended version.

204

And I heard it cause somebody posted it because it came out and I remember being like,

205

hot, wow, such a hot song.

206

Wow, that's such a good song.

207

God, I wish I had a song like that.

208

And I just went on with my life.

209

And then like weeks later, Phineas went to her show.

210

He was talking with her and one of her teammates or something.

211

I don't even know who he was talking to.

212

And they just talked about, like, you know, would Billy be down?

213

You know, we should do a...

214

Billy should hop on something.

215

And, like, had a call with her, talked about it.

216

It was going to be another song.

217

And then we decided on Guess.

218

And then, like, she sent us stems.

219

Phineas and I went on a hike, came back, went into the studio.

220

sat there, played the song, wrote a verse, sent it back.

221

That's my dream, that's my dream.

222

Phineas came up with like the first line being, don't have to guess the color of your underwear.

223

And then I was like, okay, period.

224

And then we both just sat there twiddling our thumbs, writing and then wrote that verse, sent it back.

225

She sent something back for her, I sent something back for her.

226

And then we literally shot a video like two days later

227

and then the video got edited the next day and it came out like the next day.

228

It was the craziest, fastest, like that is the dream.

229

That is the fucking dream.

230

Anyway.

231

It's a picture of me and Charlie XCX and it has 69,608 likes.

232

Oh my God.

233

So cute so innocent and just excited about everything.

234

Wow, that's so funny.

235

Full circle, huh?

236

Any person that I have ever been around, I'm dating.

237

It's so crazy.

238

Literally any man that I am near, it's like that's Billie's boyfriend and that's the person she's dating.

239

It's crazy.

240

And then it's weird because I'm like, actually photographed more with women and way,

241

way more incriminating photos of me with women than men.

242

And they're like, Billy and her best friend.

243

It's really funny.

244

It's so weird.

245

I'll see you next time.

246

And the time after that, and the time after that.

247

Tell I'm an old lady.

248

Speaking of old ladies, mom!

249

This is my mom.

250

She is sick as a booty.

251

I don't mind, I can stay here that long.

252

I love it.

253

I love it too.

254

Hello baby.

255

His grandma.

256

I love you Billy.

257

258

276

277

Remember?

278

Oh my gosh.

279

On the first one.

280

Yeah, that was crazy.

281

We never knew what was going to happen with it.

282

I know.

283

I just was saying it.

284

She's the one that helps me have a brain and, you know, use my platform for good and do all the things I need to do.

285

Yes, I hope you have a very busy year.

286

What?

287

What?

288

With your album comes out and you have so much fun and you have such a fun year making videos

289

and playing pickleball and cooking and not jumping off of things.

290

Dude, I'm going to be.

291

You just have to accept I'm going to jump off stuff. And you stay healthy.

292

I've been cooking.

293

You have been cooking.

294

I've actually been cooking.

295

I've been reading.

296

And you have so many good friends.

297

And you take good care of yourself.

298

And you laugh so much.

299

And you have so much fun.

300

And I love seeing it.

301

Love it.

302

I love you.

303

Look.

304

Aw.

305

That's so cute.

306

Oh, my gosh.

307

Off to MSG we go.

308

Mwah.

309

That's not for me.

310

That's not for me.

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.
