Pratica di Shadowing: Comprehensible Input English Daily Conversation - A2 B1 B2 - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Welcome to Floripa!

If you want to speak English, reading books will not help you.

Learning grammar and solving some quizzes will not help you.

What will help you are only these two things.

Number one, listening.

When you listen to our conversation on this video with Brazilian businesswoman.

And number two, speaking.

So here's the challenge for you.

I want you to watch this video for the first time from one to 100% and to fully understand everything.

If you don't understand something, I want you to pause it, write down the word and translate it.

And when you're gonna watch for the second time, I want you to shadow me to pause this video

when I ask a question and I want you to repeat that question so you could practice your speaking.

And remember, nobody is perfect.

It's completely fine to make mistakes.

I make mistakes on my own and you should make mistakes.

So start speaking with me now.

Let's get started.

It's been 15 minutes since we were supposed to start recording.

You are not supposed to give people advice.

It's Brazil, but I know that that girl is busy

and she is right there talking to other girls and making her business happen.

So we're going to let her finish.

A few moments later.

Let's go.

Let's get started.

We are at Elika Hotel in downtown Florianópolis in front of the beach.

Go, go, you're first.

Go, go, go.

Lorenzo, let's show him what is beautiful here.

You can go because I can wait here with him.

Or maybe you can help me.

Absolutely.

Young man, are you ready?

Absolutely.

You get a big house right here.

Oh, wow.

That's great.

This is the kind of rooftop that I was talking about.

All units target heading north on rooftop.

Yeah.

It's a different design, front of the beach, everything clean and minimalis...

How can I say this in English?

Minimalistic.

Yeah, minimalism is the same word.

Yes.

It's very minimalistic.

I love it.

Yeah.

Look at this view, guys.

Yeah.

It's stunning.

Floripa is the best place ever.

I agree.

I think it is the best city that I've been to in Brazil so far.

I've visited Rio, small city Macaí, São Paulo, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, São Sebastião Ducaí.

Wow!

But Florianópolis is definitely gorgeous.

Really?

It is the best city that I've been to so far.

Rio is beautiful, but I mean, Rio has a little bit different vibe.

Yeah.

But Florianópolis is a higher quality, even though it's cheaper, which is quite crazy.

I just saw your mom downstairs and even though she's pretty old, she's really hot.

Because Rio de Janeiro has more favelas.

Yes.

Has more people living on streets.

And here, I've only seen one or two homeless folks so far, to be honest.

Yeah, of course we have.

We need to understand that it's not anymore a small city.

We are growing.

We have a lot of companies, pet companies, different people coming to Floripa.

So we are not a small city anymore, but we are very safe.

We have a lot of care of the people about the security here.

And for me, comparing Floripa to Rio, I mean, we can compare.

Exactly, it's quite different.

It's so different, you know?

Let's take a picture.

Yes, here too.

Opa!

And again, crazy ones, right?

Good, let him know.

He's a friend of mom.

He's crazy.

He's the crazy one.

I'm the crazy one?

Yes, you are.

Should we show any of your pictures when we were 18 and 20?

I'll show you guys a picture of Natalia and me 14 years ago.

So you would, and you tell me in the comments below, who's the crazy one here?

It's so interesting that it's different languages will not have some words or will have extra words.

and in brazil they don't have it it's either he or she

so hotel is he uh ocean in ukraine it's he is

it it's he it's not it ocean is here just like in brazil it's very similar

but in the united states it's quite different ocean is it

it's not a live person they can be sure here that's interesting

but now tell us what do you do because you you're a sharp looking

beautiful lady with a kid in florida what did you professionally the best point in florida to live here is

because you can walk work and go to the beach

100

and you know stay safe walking with your baby yeah doing a meeting

101

and then you know stay uh hang out with your friends you can walk early go to the gym, drink some coffee outside the house,

102

like hang out with your friends and then start your day doing some meetings and I like this routine, you know, to enjoy life.

103

Are you afraid James might grow tired of your wannabe black girl routine and fall for something real like me?

104

At the same time doing a lot of meetings, working in a project, so I work with experience, I work with customer experience,

105

so I'm always looking for to understand what these customers need,

106

what they feel, what they think about brands, what brands means for the customers.

107

It's not only about the product, it's about people, it's about feeling,

108

it's about how How can I feel when I was at the hotel, for example?

109

What did you feel when you got there?

110

You know?

111

Wow.

112

Wow.

113

I was impressed.

114

It's not only a brand, you know?

115

Well, I am impressed with your quest for knowledge.

116

Also, it's a smell that you see.

117

The smell, the flowers, the way that the people treat you, the attendants, you know?

118

It says here the attendant told the police you were pretty upset before you got in the car.

119

The hotel is one of my clients and we were working to understand the customer journey in a check-in,

120

in a check-out.

121

Having found somewhere to park, Hammond checked into the hotel.

122

Check in please.

123

Thank you.

124

Can I borrow your pen?

125

Thank you.

126

In the restaurant, inside of the room, to understand how can we create some good experiences to impress them,

127

to feel good, you know?

128

And for me, it's a pleasure to stay working with them.

129

Now ladies, what pleasure party would be complete without?

130

But at the same time, creating a friendship.

131

Because right now, for example, I got Lorenzo to show them my baby that I was working with them pregnant.

132

And then they said, Natalia, come visit us, bring Lorenzo.

133

We want to see him.

134

They sent me a present.

135

They sent me a letter, you know, this kind of relationship with your client.

136

What does it mean when a guy is in a really bad relationship and it's really, really obvious that he wants to be with you?

137

It's something that only happens if you are open to real connect with the person at the other side.

138

Nice.

139

Sounds like you're very passionate.

140

One minute.

141

You got it.

142

Just a pause to see if Florencio is okay.

143

Yeah.

144

Sounds like you're very passionate about what you're doing.

145

Yes.

146

You love it, huh?

147

Look, I'm weird, okay?

148

No, no, I'm passionate.

149

Passionate and...

150

That's a dream.

151

To live in Floripa.

152

To live next to the beach.

153

To do what you love doing.

154

Why did you choose Floripa?

155

Were you born here?

156

Yeah, I was born here.

157

I was born here and I lived in São Paulo for five years

158

and it was a good experience because São Paulo it's a big city you can

159

you can have everything you want in São Paulo you can

160

the the city never stop looks like New York yeah but isn't safe you can be safe in São Paulo.

161

Full moon tonight isn't safe to travel by the full moon You know,

162

I can't imagine creating a family and a baby in São Paulo.

163

You know, so for me, Floripa is the best choice ever.

164

And we are growing there.

165

Like I said, we are growing.

166

We have a lot of tech companies here.

167

Uh-huh.

168

Yep.

169

A lot of tech companies.

170

A couple of days ago, I have hosted a tech meetup here with a friend of mine, Lucas

171

and we did see an insane amount of people who were interested in tech.

172

Odyssey speaking, Floripa is just like Miami in the United States.

173

Florianapolis or Floripa is almost a copy, it's an improved, it's a version number two of Miami.

174

People and society can be improved.

175

In Miami, you will see a lot of homeless people.

176

you will see things are old and getting rusty but you

177

when you walk through

178

that beach right there you will see a lot of new

179

pull-up bars a lot of new workout areas where people are enjoying their time

180

and it's not old people take care of it what if not is i think the biggest difference between

181

miami and florianapolis is people i'm not sure if it's a government or people but they take care of this city.

182

You're just a pawn in the game.

183

It's the government, man.

184

The government sucks.

185

And Miami is, I would say, 40% older.

186

Really?

187

It looks older than Floripa.

188

I'm in love with Floripa so far.

189

So far, sir.

190

I heard it so far.

191

Did you hear it so far?

192

193

I mean, the majority of our viewers are from Brazil.

194

Can you tell me, can you tell me, are there any better cities in brazil than floripa so far because i am in love with this city.

195

I'm a manezinha.

196

When you born here, they said that you are manezinha da ilha.

197

198

Manezinha da ilha.

199

You know, and practice is the best way to learn in another language.

217

Even if you are learning a lot,

218

learning since always, you need to practice with someone and your English or your another language that you are trying to learn,

219

it will be better because you have the opportunity to talk with someone, to listen to someone.

220

I saw an opportunity and I took it.

221

239

because every day is the opportunity to do something better.

240

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.
