12
Tama has been waiting for this episode for weeks.
13
Weeks.
14
I have been thinking about what to say.
15

28
so before we jump into today's lesson I want to ask
29
you something Tom is going to tell us a story later
30
in this episode about a very embarrassing food moment something that I do not know what you were talking about.
31
Oh, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
32
The soup incident.
33
We said we were never going to talk about that.
34
And yet here we are.
35
So here is a question for today.
36
What do you think Tom did at the restaurant?
37
Did he drop his soup on himself?
38
Did he order the wrong dish by accident?
39
Or did something even more embarrassing happen?
40
I'm not going to give you any hints.
41
comments, we love reading every single one.
42
All right, Tom, let's start simple.
43
What is your absolute favorite food?
44
Oh, without any question, it is pasta, specifically spaghetti bolognese.
45
Oh, that is a classic.
46
My grandmother used to make it every Sunday.
47
The whole house smelled amazing.
48
I would wake up and just know today is a pasta day.
49
"Aww, that is the sweetest thing !" She had a secret recipe.
50
She never wrote it down.
51
She just knew it in her hands.
52
Wow, do you know how to make it?
53
I tried, once.
54
It was not the same.
55
What happened?
56
I put too much salt.
57
Way too much salt.
58
My roommate took one bite and just looked at me with these eyes.
59
Oh no!
60
He didn't say anything.
61
He just put his fork down very slowly. That is so sad.
62
It's so funny at the same time.
63
Cooking is not my talent.
64
Eating is my talent.
65
Okay, what about you, Lily?
66
What is your favorite food?
67
Okay, so mine is a little different.
68
I love sushi.
69
Really?
70
When did you start eating sushi?
71
So the first time I tried sushi, I was 19 years old.
72
My friend took me to a Japanese restaurant, and I was honestly a little scared.
73
Scared of sushi?
74
I had never eaten raw fish before.
75
I did not know what to expect.
76
I thought I would hate it. And...
77
I ate twelve pieces in one sitting.
78
Twelve?
79
Yes!
80
I could not stop.
81
The salmon was just so fresh and soft and I kept saying, "Just one more, just one more." Classic.
82
My friend was watching me like I created a monster.
83
Yes, a sushi monster!
84
Okay, let's talk a little bit about grammar today because we are using some really useful structures in this conversation.
85
Yes, and this is something beginners really need so pay attention.
86
Today, we are looking at how to talk about likes and preferences in English.
87
Super simple, super useful.
88
You will use this every single day.
89
Structure number one: I love or I like or I really enjoy.
90
For example, "I love sushi.
91
I like pasta." I really enjoy cooking on weekends.
92
Notice we use the verb in the base form after I love and I like.
93
So we say I love sushi, not I love to sushi.
94
Sushi is a noun here.
95
Right.
96
Sushi is a thing, not an action, so we just say, "I love sushi." But if you use a verb,
97
you can say, "I love eating sushi." See, eating.
98
We add -ing to the verb.
99
Let's practice.
100
Repeat after us.
101
Ready?
102
I love pizza.
103
I love pizza.
104
I really like chocolate!
105
I really like chocolate.
106
I enjoy cooking dinner.
107
I enjoy cooking dinner.
108
Amazing!
109
You are doing great!
110
Now structure number two: My favorite food is.
111
This is how you name your number one food.
112
My favorite food is sushi.
113
My favorite food is pasta.
114
My favorite food is tacos.
115
simple right subject my favorite food verb is and then the food Try it right now.
116
Pause the video, say out loud, "My favorite food is ______ _." Put your food in the blank.
117
Did you say it?
118
Good!
119
Now you are speaking English.
120
Okay, now let's learn some real vocabulary for talking about food.
121
We have six great words and phrases today.
122
And for every word we have a story, because stories help you remember.
123

The pizza was absolutely delicious.
132
Tom, tell them about the delicious thing you ate last week.

135
It was the most delicious thing I have eaten in years.

A gift.
185

187
I had all of them.
188
Lily!
189
I arrived home with an empty box and a guilty face.

Perché praticare parlando con questo video?
Questo video è un'opportunità straordinaria per imparare l'inglese attraverso un argomento amato da tutti: il cibo. Praticare il parlato con "shadowspeaks" non solo rende l’apprendimento più divertente, ma ti aiuta anche a familiarizzare con il lessico utile in situazioni quotidiane. Ogni giorno, sempre più persone si avvicinano a "imparare l'inglese con youtube" perché riescono a osservare come utilizzare le parole in contesti reali. Parlare di cibo, in particolare, è una delle conversazioni più comuni che puoi avere, e conoscere i termini giusti può migliorare la tua fiducia mentre interagisci in inglese.
Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto
Nel video, Tom e Lily utilizzano diverse strutture grammaticali e frasi chiave che possono essere estremamente utili. Ecco alcune espressioni da tenere a mente:
- What is your favorite food? - Questa domanda viene spesso utilizzata nelle conversazioni per rompere il ghiaccio.
- She had a secret recipe. - La costruzione possessiva 'had a' è importante per esprimere il possesso di qualcosa di significativo.
- Every single day. - Usare 'every single' enfatizza l’idea di ripetizione e routine.
Queste espressioni non solo arricchiscono il tuo vocabolario, ma ti aiutano anche a comprendere il contesto culturale legato al cibo. Praticare il "shadow speak" con queste frasi ti permetterà di migliorare la tua pronuncia e fluidità.
Trappole comuni nella pronuncia
Nel video, potrebbero sorgere alcune trappole di pronuncia. Parole come spaghetti e bolognese possono infatti risultare complicate da pronunciare correttamente per chi sta imparando l'inglese. Inoltre, l'accento e il modo in cui Tom parla rendono tutta l'esperienza più realistica e naturale. Per migliorare, è utile esercitarsi a "shadowing in inglese", cioè ripetere ciò che ascolti nel video, imitandone ma anche cercando di cogliere le sfumature di pronuncia.
Ricorda, la pratica rende perfetti. Utilizza questo video come un modo per affinare le tue abilità linguistiche ogni giorno. Con pazienza e dedizione, diventerai un conversatore sicuro!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso | has been waiting · have been thinking |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have learned · have eaten · has not been stored |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | was sold · has not been stored |
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ing | love reading · start eating · kept saying |
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.
