Good morning and welcome to another English lesson.
2
Today we're talking about hiking in English.
3
Usually when you hike you set out in the morning
4
and it is morning now and I'm sharing an apartment so I need to talk a little quiet.
5
I signed up for this hike with my Spanish school and we need to
6
be at the meeting point at 8 45
7
so a meeting point is where you
8
if you're hiking with a group you have a location where you meet at a certain time
9
so you can go find the trail together
10
and this hike we have an itinerary which is the schedule for the day
11
so the time we're going to start the time we're going to drive
12
so we're going to drive from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock to the mountain to hike.
13
We're going to have a coffee,
14
start our hike, and then halfway through we'll have lunch,
15
and then we'll make our way back,
16
and then drive back to Valencia in the evening.
17
That is our itinerary.
18
So when you're hiking, you can do a day hike,
19
which is just hiking during the day and then by the evening you're back home.
20
Or you can go backpacking which means you're bringing camping gear and it's multiple days so more than one day.
21

22
And you need the right gear.
23
Gear means the correct equipment for a certain activity.
24
So when I go play a show,
25
I bring my music gear.
26
So my keyboard, my keyboard stand, my microphone.
27
Today I'm hiking, so I need my hiking gear.
28
So I'll need a backpack,
29
some kind of water container, some food, probably sunscreen.
30
This is called a camelback.
31
You keep it in your backpack and then you have this little tube
32
that you always have out that you can drink right through here.
33
You could also bring a water bottle or a canteen,
34
but you must, must, must bring water.
35
You also need to think about your clothing.
36
So check the weather, check the trail conditions.

39
Is it going to be hot?
40
Is it going to be cold?
41

42
a t-shirt, I'll wear a sweatshirt,

and it's always good to bring a rain jacket just in case it rains.
44
I like to wear a hat so
45
that my face is protected from the sun so I can look 34 forever or 25 or whatever I look.
46
And of course shoes are incredibly important so never wear flip-flops if you're hiking.

You should wear hiking boots, tennis shoes, trail runners.

49
Today I'm wearing my rainbow trail runners.
50

Tread is the pattern on the bottom of the shoe.
52
So you want it to be bumpy like this so you have good traction meaning you're not gonna slip on the trail.
53
Okay I need to fill up my Camelback.
54
Apart from water you'll need snacks like almonds.
55
You might want some fruit and a lunch.
56
And a phrasal verb for you to set out
57
which means to start a journey and an idiom for you first thing in the morning or at the crack of dawn.
58
Both of these idioms mean early.
59
Usually you start a hike early.
60
So I've got my backpack ready and I've got to go to the meeting point so I'm not late.
61
Alright, we're stopping for a bathroom break.
62
Very important because there's not bathrooms on the trail.
63
No, which it's fine for guys because they can pee on a tree.
64
But ladies, it's complicated.
65

67
A trailhead is where the trail starts.

If you're going on a hike,
70
some questions you should ask.
71
Is the hike easy or difficult?
72
Or you can say, is it a leisurely hike or a challenging hike?

You can ask, is it flat trail or steep?
80
Okay, you can also ask is it hilly or is there a lot of uphill?

83
You don't go backward.
84
You don't go back the way you came.
85
You make a loop.
86
Or is it an out and back?

91
So to blaze a trail is to be the first person on that trail.

It could be walking on a trail or it could be anything else in your job discovering something in science.
95
A trailblazer.
96
We are not blazing a trail right now because...
97
Free and action!
98
Okay, to get winded.
99
To get winded is when usually you're walking uphill and you have to breathe more.
100
So you're like running out of breath.
101
Like you need more air,
102
that is to get winded.
103
Are you winded yet?
104

105
So Lorenzo is the caboose.
106
The?
107
Caboose.
108
If you have a train,
109
the very last car on the train is the caboose.
110
So also if you're in a group here and you're the last person,
111
we call you the Coboose.
112
Okay, we're lucky today we have a guide.
113

119
A good pace means you're not walking slowly You're walking pretty quickly The person in front,
120
somewhere up there is the person setting the pace To set
121
the pace means you go first You decide are you walking slow?
122
Are you walking fast?
123
Are you walking moderately to set the pace?
124
People back there, they are legging behind.
125
To leg behind means you're going slower than everybody else.
126
You're in the back.
127
You're legging behind.
128
Here we have a trail map so you can check where you are
129
and where you want to go on the trail map.
130
The stream crossing.
131
So we have a little stream and a crossing.
132
So there's some rocks where we can cross.
133
You want to show show the people?
134
Okay he's crossing the stream.
135
Here we have a trail marker.
136
So anything that marks a trail it could be a sign or some rocks.
137
Those are trail markers so you know you're still on the trail.
138
Okay we're at a lookout.
139
A lookout is a place where you can see a nice view and lookout area.
140
So on your hike you should wear layers meaning you have like a t-shirt shirt on the bottom
141
and then a sweatshirt and then maybe a jacket so that you can remove layers.
142
So I was wearing a sweatshirt and a raincoat and I removed some layers because I got too hot.
143
When you're hiking sometimes you walk downhill.
144
Right now we're walking downhill which is usually easier than walking uphill.
145
Walking uphill, going up the hill.
146
It's harder.
147
We've reached the midpoint and we're gonna have some lunch.
148

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.
