Bad Choices Dear Dr. Tracy, I am a 33-year-old divorced woman with four kids.
2
I was married for 12 years and have been divorced for approximately three years.
3
I met my new boyfriend during my divorce.
4
We hit it off and have been together ever since.
5
He is a 44-year-old divorced man.
6
When I met him, he had been divorced for two years.
7
Well, I met his ex-wife, and she seemed to be an okay person.
8
What I found out three months into my relationship with him was that he was fooling around with his ex-wife again, who also at this time had a boyfriend of her own.
9
I figured that since I did not have a committed relationship with him, I had no place to say anything.
10
The problem is, it continued further into our relationship, up to the point when I found out I was pregnant.
11
At the same time, I found out that he and his ex-wife planned to go to his family reunion together.
12
Of course, before all of this, I drove by his house one night and saw her car parked outside his home.
13
The excuse I got after all of this was that they were considering getting back together.
14
I thought it was very funny that as soon as she met me, she found interest in him again.
15
I guess my issue is the fact that I'm now still in this relationship.
16
I have brought a child into this nonsense, and I hate the fact that he keeps in contact with her.
17
My boyfriend has taken responsibility for her son from a previous relationship.
18
His excuse for having so much contact with his ex-wife is because of that boy.
19
I know this is not true, but I have no real proof otherwise.
20
I have also dealt with him taking women to hotels, and my gut tells me it was her.
21
But he promises it was not her.
22
I have tried to get over all the cheating.
23
I know that she is very close to his family, and I also know that his family does not like me, because I stand up for myself.
24
I guess the bottom line is knowing how much contact his ex-wife has with him
25
and the fact that he knows that I can't stand her.
26
Am I in a weird relationship with the man that wants to have his cake and eat it too?
27
Or am I being paranoid and need to just trust him when he says he does not want her?
28
I have never had so much animosity towards two people in my life.
29
I do love this man, but I feel like I have put myself back in an unhealthy relationship with a man
30
that is trying to lie to me.
31
To be totally honest, now that I have his child, I even hate the fact that he helps her son.
32
She never has to ask for anything regarding that boy, but I have to constantly remind him when our son needs something.
33
He does it for the other boy without thinking, but my son is a second thought.
34
Even when I have said, look at your son, he is in dire need.
35
I was married to a cheating man and hooked up with another cheating man.
36
I wonder if it's just my bad choices in men.

Guida Passo-passo per il Shadowing

Se desideri migliorare la tua pronuncia e la tua comprensione dell'inglese, utilizzare il shadow speech del video è un metodo eccellente. Ecco come affrontare questa difficoltà:

  1. Ascolta attentamente: Inizia a guardare il video senza cercare di parlare immediatamente. Concentrati sull'intonazione e la pronuncia della narratrice.
  2. Ripeti a voce alta: Dopo aver ascoltato una frase, fermati e ripeti ciò che hai appena sentito. Questo è il cuore del shadowing in inglese; cerca di imitare il ritmo e la pronuncia.
  3. Suddividi in sezioni: Se trovi il paragrafo lungo o complesso, dividilo in sezioni più brevi. Lavora su una sezione alla volta fino a sentirti sicuro.
  4. Utilizza risorse esterne: Cerca frasi simili in testi o articoli in inglese, per rafforzare ciò che hai imparato. Un shadowing site può offrire ulteriore materiale di supporto.
  5. Pratica regolarmente: Dedica alcuni minuti al giorno al shadowing; è un metodo efficace per migliorare le tue capacità linguistiche e sentirti più a tuo agio nell'uso dell'inglese. Puoi imparare l'inglese con youtube, facendoti accompagnare da contenuti audio-visivi.

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.
