39
The show is called Young Larry.
40
It's about my life when I was like 24, 25.
41
I lived in Brooklyn with my parents and my uncle, Mo, lived upstairs with my grandmother.
42
Mo was in his 70s.
43
He pushed racks in the garment centers, would take the subway every day.
44
He never spent a nickel in his life, so he had over a million dollars saved up.
45
So one day, Uncle Mo comes up to me and he says, I'm moving into the city and I want you to live with me,
46
and if you live with me, I'll leave all my money to you." Wow.
47
Wow.
48
So in the show, I move in with Uncle Mo,
49
and, uh, I do everything that I can to accelerate his.. demise.
50
So how does he try to kill him?
51
Subtly.
52
You know, like, giving him terrible food to eat, Ruben sandwiches, you know, making him climb up six flights of stairs, telling him the elevator's broken,
53
you know, things like that.
54
So young Larry, what's going on in his life right now?
55
Like, what is he doing?
56
Okay, very good question.
57
Thank you.
58
He's a private chauffeur.
59
He drives for an old woman.
60
I was a private chauffeur.
61
I drove this old lady around.
62
She was blind.
63
I never cleaned the car.
64
She had no idea.
65
And so he has this huge Cadillac limousine at his disposal that he uses all the time.
66
And I was trying to be a stand -up comic.
67
So I was just starting out doing my act.
68
Oh, that's really interesting.
69
You know, we'll see him do stand -up.
70
Sure.
71
When he's not chauffeuring or whatever and trying to kill his uncle.
72
Wow.
73
I love this.
74
I think this is great.
75
Really?
76
I think we want to do this show.
77
In a word, in.
78
Yeah?
79
Yes, in.
80
Are you kidding?
81
Really?
82
Absolutely.
83
Look at that.
84
Oh, my God.
85
Purell?
86
How about that?
87
I'm good for now.
88
I'm good for now, but thanks.
89
I'm not a Purell hoarder.
90
Remember the pandemic, the hoarders?
91
Oh, yeah.
92
Nasty people.
93
Terrible.
94
They're like horse thieves in the Old West, aren't they?
95
Okay.
96
You'll find that I'm a pleasure to work with?
97
Eh, don't give me any notes.
98
That's all.
99
I'm not joking.
100

101
It's not a joke.

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.
