Let's get started!
18
Excuse me, where do I find buses?
19
In terminals?
20
Huh?
21
The question where do I find buses sounds strange in English,
22
because you use the present simple do.
23
It feels like you're talking about something permanent,
24
like a fact in a book.
25
When asking for directions, it's more natural to say where can I find buses?
26
Oh, so where can I find buses?
27
There's a bus stop right in front of the church over there.
28
The bus comes every 30 minutes.
29
Hey, your shoes are untied.
30
What did you say?
31
Don't say that.
32
You sound rude.
33
Saying what did you say to someone could sound like you're angry about what they said.
34
To sound more polite when you can't hear or understand someone,
35
say, Sorry, I couldn't hear you.
36
Could you repeat that?
37
Sorry, could you say that again?
38
You can also use what or huh without sounding rude,
39
as long as you say them softly and with a confused look.
40
What?
41
Huh?
42
Oh, sorry, could you say that again?
43
Sure, I said your shoes are untied!
44
Too late!

A few important phrases when helping someone are...

give this video a like.
57
Hey, you dropped something on the floor.
58
When?
59
Now.
60
Look, it's on the floor.
61
Oh, on the ground.
62
I dropped my coin pouch on the ground.
63
For anything we walk on outside.
64
outdoors.
65
We say ground.
66
This is the ground.
67
The surface you walk on inside a building.
68
Inside is called floor.
69
Oh, that's important.
70
Excuse me, which side is downtown?
71
Side?
72
You mean way?
73
Yeah, which way is downtown?
74
This way, use way to ask the direction you should go.
75
For example, north or south.
76
So way is the direction you go to get somewhere,
77
but side is more like where something is on the map.
78
Downtown is on the north side of the city,
79
but the way to get there is to go west from here.
80
Okay, cool.
81
Is there a train to downtown?
82
You don't need to use to in this question.
83
We don't use to with the word downtown.
84
The word downtown already acts like a direction,
85
so you don't use to before it.
86
You can also say I'm going downtown.
87
Let's go downtown tonight.
88
There is a concert downtown tomorrow and so on.
89
Oh, so is there a train that goes downtown?
90
Yes, there are many trains that go downtown
91
but the station is a bit far from here um i think i'm going to walk
92
that way i can enjoy the the architecture we use this word
93
when we are appreciating buildings structures or the style of a city the architecture I wonder what my next mistake will be.
94
I need to speak English everywhere I go,
95
but I'm scared of making silly mistakes.
96
Hey, everyone who knows the language had to learn it from the beginning.
97
When you and I were babies,
98
we had to learn how to communicate.
99
We made silly mistakes and our parents corrected us.
100
It's all a normal process.
101
But we're not babies anymore.
102
We're young adults.
103
That's right.
104
We don't learn the same way babies do.
105
To really learn English, we need a focused method,
106
real-time feedback, and clear progress tracking, and conversation.
107
We need to talk, talk.
108
Absolutely.
109
We need conversation and immersion in real dialogue.
110
I'm visiting Italy.
111
Actually, I'm visiting Milan in Italy.
112
Great.
113
It's a perfect use of the present continuous tense.
114
But with someone who corrects me in an okay way,
115
not rude, in a smooth way,
116
the Lerna AI app matches all your needs then.
117
The avatar corrects you in a smooth way and knows exactly what you need to improve.
118

  • Fai una pausa dopo ogni frase e ripetila ad alta voce, concentrandoti sulla tua pronuncia inglese.
  • Se hai difficoltà a capire alcune espressioni, scrivile e ripetile più volte, utilizzando il shadowing site per guidarti.
  • Utilizza una voce soft quando provi ad esprimere confusione, come nel caso di "What?" o "Huh?", per non apparire scortese.

Attraverso questi esercizi, non solo migliorerai la tua capacità di risposta in situazioni di viaggio, ma diventerai anche più sicuro nel comunicare in inglese. Buona pratica!

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.
