1
Every time you open your mouth and you speak people unconsciously Categorize you into one of these three categories.
2
Are you an awkward communicator?
3
Are you a pretty good communicator or are you a natural communicator?
4
And after 15 years as a communication coach training fortune 500 companies
5
and speaking to millions of people around the world I've discovered
6
that you can tell
7
which level someone sits at based on how they use their voice How they use their body language
8
and how they use their words I'm going to explain the exact behaviors at each level
9
so by the end you know which category you're in
10
and you know how to progress From one category to the
11
next to make this even more fun We're going to put
12
these people you see here on the table into one of these categories
13
and see if you can guess where they sit on The board.
14
Why is my face there Ben?
15
Well Craig, it's so we can demonstrate to the audience There's a level lower than rookie Let's start with the rookie communicator.
16
And chances are most people belong in this category without even realizing it.
17
Because they don't know what they're doing wrong.
18
It's a stage called unconscious incompetence.
19
So let me once
20
and for all make you aware on how to become a
21
natural communicator by first becoming more aware of what makes a rookie.
22
The first thing that makes a rookie communicator sound awkward is...
23
Flat delivery.
24
There is no variation in the way they speak.
25
Every word at the same speed, the same pitch, the same volume, and the same emotion.
26
From the first sentence to the last.
27
Kind of like my GPS trying to point out directions to help me find cheap fuel, which doesn't exist anymore.
28
Thanks Mr. Trump.
29
You're welcome.
30
You're welcome.
31
Then there's vocal fry.
32
You know that low, creaky, gravelly quality that happens to your voice when you speak at the end of your breath.
33
Oh, hey Sam.
34
How you going?
35
Sam, I've got a quick question for you.
36
What's an average day of our work life gonna look like once AI agents and AI robots take over the world?
37
I don't really know what this is gonna feel like to live through.
38
I think we're in uncharted waters here.
39
I do believe in like human adaptability and sort of- Thank you, Sam.
40
I'm gonna stop you right there.
41
You see, that's a great example of vocal fry and what not to do.
42
Sam, unfortunately, mate, you live right here under rookie.
43
Oh, and Sam, please don't cancel my AI subscription.
44
I need it.
45
Oh, how can we forget the um, uh, uh, like, you know what I'm talking about.
46
It's the filler words and the non-words.
47
Everybody does this.
48
It's normal.
49
It's okay if you're doing it every now and then.
50
It only becomes a problem when you use it every single sentence with every single breath that you take.
51
That's when it becomes a problem and it signals that you're unsure, it makes you unclear, and then you seem unconfident.
52
I hate to call this out and I don't mean to just pick on tech CEOs, but Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, you both also belong here.
53
I just want to be really clear here.
54
These are some of the most brilliant thinkers on planet Earth, but watch how they speak in these clips and see if you can notice the behaviors we just talked about.
55
Go f* yourself.
56
Oh, sorry, sorry.
57
Wrong clip, wrong clip.
58
Roll the next one.
59
Um, uh, that's- I just want to really have, um, a global platform that brings together- Like I said, like, it becomes close to sort of a collective consciousness,
60
uh, um, and, um, you know, like- And one of the things that we've introduced, uh- You see that?
61
You hear that?
62
The content of what they're saying might be interesting, but the delivery, the way they're saying it, it makes it extremely difficult for you to listen, right?
63
I know what you're thinking here, but Vin these people are wildly successful.
64
They're even more successful than you.
65
What are you talking about?
66
They don't even need communication skills.
67
You know what?
68
You're right.
69
If you are Mark Zuckerberg, if you are Elon Musk, if you are Sam Altman, You don't have to improve your communication skills.
70
These guys are pioneers.
71
Go save the world.
72
Go get us to Mars.
73
But if you're a mere mortal like you and I and you're not as technically brilliant as them, nor do you have billions of dollars in your bank account, then I encourage you.
74
Don't stay a rookie!
75
Level up your communication skills and by the way Sam, Mark, Elon, if you ever want coaching personally directly with me, one on one, just DM me.
76
I'll help you amplify your impact.
77
Actually, sorry, not you Sam.
78
You're scary.
79
Okay, moving into body language.
80
So how do rookie communicators use their body?
81
Short answer, they don't.
82
And I mean that literally.
83
Zero expression.
84
In this category, people just don't know what to do with their body.
85
They don't know what to do with their hands.
86
They don't know what to do with also the space that they've been given.
87
Guess what?
88
They do nothing with any of it.
89
They may as well not have any bloody hands.
90
And just to make it clear for you what rookie body language looks like, an awkward body language, come follow me.
91
Come follow me.
92
All right, come with me on a wonderful adventure as we go and explore the wilderness.
93
We're on the hunt for a strange creature.
94
Now if we look through the trees here, what you can see is what we call Homo erectus.
95
In his native habitat.
96
Notice his hands, terrible posture, weird movements, and awful eye contact.
97
Oh god, oh no!
98
Mop is realizing his body language has found him.
99
Oh no, he is now resorting to his mating call.
100
Oh God, we better get out of here.
101
Nature is relentless.
102
So the moral...
103
The moral of the story is, don't be like Homo erectus, or as I like to call him, Homo Peter.
104
It's time to evolve.
105
Look, all jokes aside, there was a time when I was actually like Peter as well.
106
And let's call that version of Vin, Homo Vin.
107
Let me bring you back to that time.
108
When I was 13, my entire year level, All the guys had a crush on this one girl.
109
Her name was Daniela.
110
And I had a strategy on how to win her love.
111
I knew that her parents drop her off really early at school because they had to work early.
112
So she would always be at school at 8am.
113
So I strategically was also there at 8am.
114
And she was the only one at school.
115
I was the only one at school.
116
Oh, how weird!
117
So I would sit on the other side of the bench to where she was sitting
118
because I was way too scared to sit any closer.
119
And every now and then just look over and admire her beauty.
120
But then the moment she looks at me, I would quickly look away because I was too scared to make any eye contact.
121
And in my mind, I was thinking, oh my goodness, this is like the notebook.
122
I'm being so romantic without realizing that I was coming across as a freaking psychopath.
123
Because that's all my body language was communicating.
124
Needless to say, she thought I was a creep because I was.
125
What I hope you realize as we're going through these behaviors is that they're just behaviors.
126
They're not permanent.
127
You can change them.
128
You're not a bad communicator.
129
You just have bad communication habits.
130
And once you learn the better vocal habits and the better body language habits, you unlock a whole new version of yourself that you didn't know was possible.
131
Don't be so attached to who you are in the present.
132
You don't give the future version of you a chance.
133
Alright, now how does a rookie communicator use their words?
134
Well, there is no structure when they speak at all whatsoever.
135
They often speak in circles, there's no clear point to what they're saying, they're literally just winging it.
136
And as a result, they ramble and they get stuck in their thoughts
137
and this forces their listener to do all of the cognitive work as they try to decode what's actually being said.
138
In my communication classes, I often get my students to do a simple exercise, which gives them a completely fresh perspective on whether or not their communication is effective.
139
I ask them a random question on the spot, and they have to give a two-minute answer that isn't scripted.
140
And when we put that into an AI tool like Gemini, which transcribes the video into words, we now can break down exactly how they're structuring their sentences,
141
where they're repeating themselves and talking in circles, and where they're not being clear and concise.
142
The reason people never improve their communication skills or ever move away from being a rookie is because they never develop self-awareness.
143
So you on the other side of this screen right now, do the same thing.
144
Record a video of yourself on your phone answering this question for me.
145
Why do you want to improve your communication skills?
146
Then put it into Gemini as well and get it transcribed.
147
And then you can see, is it clear?
148
Is it concise?
149
What are your filler words?
150
What are your non-words?
151
This is how you start your journey of developing self-awareness.
152
And if you don't do this, you'll be forever stuck in rookie land.
153
So, here are my final picks for rookie communicators.
154
We have Kamala Harris.
155
Kim Kardashian, congratulations, you've made the board.
156
And finally, we have Lex Friedman.
157
I'm sorry Lex, I really do like your podcast, but I have to listen to it on two times speed, otherwise I can't do it.
158
I just can't do it.
159
Okay, now we're on to the next one.
160
Pretty good communicators.
161
I'm gonna pin a few more faces into this category and I'm gonna explain my decisions why later.
162
We gotta go with Alex.
163
Alex Homozi, you are going here.
164
Serena Williams, you're going right there.
165
Mark Manson, right there.
166
And the final person I'm putting here is MKBHD.
167
This is where things get interesting because pretty good communicators have actually done some work on their communication.
168
Maybe they've read some books.
169
Maybe they've even taken a few courses like my online program, The Stage Academy.
170
Links in the description.
171
But here's what separates them from the rookies.
172
I want you to imagine this up here.
173
This up here, what you see there, this is like a scale that represents the full range of your communication ability.
174
Rookies only use a very small part of the scale.
175
For example, when it comes to their voice, they default in just one volume.
176
They default with one rate of speech.
177
They default with one pitch.
178
They default to just one emotion.
179
Very monotone.
180
Now when you look at pretty good communicators, what they do is they start to use more of their range.
181
You'll notice that with their voice, for example, they vary their volume more.
182
They'll start to vary their body language more.
183
And they're more strategic with how they use their words.
184
So let's zoom in to how pretty good communicators use their voice.
185
You know this.
186
They've got range.
187
They know the basics.
188
They are not monotone.
189
They have melody.
190
They know how to be dynamic with their volume.
191
They know how to use speed to hold people's attention and they're not drowning in ums and ahs.
192
But here's what keeps them stuck in Pretty Good.
193
Although they've got more range, they play it too darn safe.
194
And they're afraid to play at the edges because they're afraid
195
that if they are too playful with their voice and play at the edges, people won't take them seriously.
196
And this is a natural fear.
197
As you're learning a new behavior and learning something that's unfamiliar to you, you're going to be scared of this.
198
For many of my students who come to my classes, I force them to play outside of their comfort zone.
199
And I get them to play keys on their instrument they've never played before.
200
And yes, it's uncomfortable.
201
And yes, what I'm trying to do here is get you to unlock your entire instrument, not just a small part of it.
202
Let me show you an example now with old mate, Homosey.
203
Listen to this clip of him speaking on Diary of a CEO.
204
Looked at the outliers among those and we're like, Oh, well we also in some of the ones
205
that did really well also had some sort of visual picture of of this plan All right, so it became proof promise plan picture look in this clip.
206
He's pretty good.
207
He's pretty good He did vary his volume.
208
He did vary his rate of speech and pitch
209
But notice how he didn't play at the extremes
210
But I want you to watch him in this interview now
211
where he was sitting across from Anthony Robbins This is Friday night or is this Tuesday morning?
212
But but I was infectious You know and this is you right?
213
Yeah, okay, so who's this guy?
214
Anabolic Alex Terrible Alex!
215
He started to play with his instrument more and look at the comments look at the people praising him They're saying wow, this is a version of Alex.
216
I've never seen before they're complimenting how authentic he is How natural he is how they're seeing all of Alex
217
and that's what happens when you use the entire
218
Range and I just want to remind you the key thing
219
that stops people from using more of their range is the fear of judgment They are scared
220
that other people aren't going to take them seriously
221
and as a result they don't play they don't explore
222
and they stay trapped Being a pretty good communicator when they have the potential to become so much better Oh and uh,
223
PS the fear that you have about other people judging you It's not real because most people aren't thinking about you anyway.
224
They're thinking about themselves So don't let a false fear keep you trapped.
225
Okay, body language.
226
How does a pretty good communicator use their body?
227
Well, come with me.
228
Let's see if Pete's evolved.
229
Oh!
230
Oh, where is he?
231
Oh, there he is!
232
Oh, okay.
233
He's done some work on the basics.
234
He's not shrinking, not fidgeting.
235
Oh, his posture is solid.
236
Oh, he knows where his hands roughly should be.
237
He's making good eye contact.
238
Oh, but there's a problem.
239
His gesture vocabulary is limited to only a few movements.
240
And he keeps cycling between the same ones.
241
Gradually, Kent starts to notice and he starts losing interest.
242
Peter, desperate at this point, attempts to re-engage by moving faster and faster.
243
At this point, Kent's found a more engaging mate.
244
It's a disappointing day for Peter Erectus.
245
Oooh.
246
Okay, that skit right there was to show you what happens when you have limited gesture vocabulary.
247
Now let's get into a real example.
248
Even the best communicators fall victim to.
249
Last year, I went to go see Mark manson the author of the
250
subtle art of not giving a now i love this guy
251
i love his books his content his wisdom he's just awesome
252
however i want to show you how repetitive non-functional body language can rob you of influence
253
and presence and how does one define non-functional behaviors simple
254
if it distracts people from the message it's a problem it's
255
non-functional i want you to see what mark was doing
256
that was distracting his audience from the message do you find
257
this distracting do you think his movements are necessary do you think this adds to the message
258
or do you think it takes away from the message what about
259
if i did this for the rest of the video
260
and i just kept moving around like this i want you to apply this lesson to me right now
261
because it doesn't matter whether you are on a stage
262
or you're creating a youtube video or you're standing in front of two people talking.
263
Repetitive movements like this, it actually adds no purpose
264
and as a result it distracts people from the message you're trying to say.
265
So the rule here is simple.
266
Only move with purpose.
267
If there's no reason for the movement, don't move.
268
Pro-communicators understand when to use movement and when to harness the power of being still and grounded.
269
And they apply the sensitivity to all areas of body language.
270
So do a quick analysis on yourself right now.
271
When you communicate, do you use your body language intentionally to support the things you say?
272
Or are you living it up to chance?
273
And do you know if you're doing anything with your body language that's distracting others?
274
Do you know what I used to do that I wasn't even aware of?
275
I kept touching my glasses.
276
And I would do this 10 times a minute, 20 times a minute.
277
Removing these 1% of non-functional behaviors over time, they compound.
278
Alright, stay with me here.
279
Once you learn how to use your voice and your body language well, you now need to learn how to turn your thoughts into words faster
280
and structure your communication so that it's clear and concise.
281
This is where pretty good communicators really start to shine because they learn how to use.. frameworks.
282
Prep, Star, 321, Para, Peel.
283
These are all acronyms that represent all the different communication frameworks and there are dozens of them.
284
What they do is they help you structure your thoughts before you speak.
285
Most people have the problem of struggling to communicate on the spot when they're put under pressure.
286
This is why people freeze.
287
This is why people ramble.
288
This is why people end up talking in circles.
289
It's literally you speaking out your thinking process which people don't need to hear.
290
But what a framework does is it acts as a filter.
291
It distills your thinking into a meaningful, clear, concise, and coherent response.
292
Now when you do this, the person listening doesn't have to work to follow your thinking, because you've done the work for them.
293
The best communicators use frameworks.
294
And if you want to learn my top three frameworks that I use every single day, and even in this very video, make sure you check out the free two-hour crash course that I recorded.
295
I go a lot deeper on this subject.
296
When you learn these frameworks, you'll be surprised how fast you can turn your thoughts into words, and communication will feel easy.
297
If you've made it this far, well done!
298
Because you're about to learn the exact behavior that makes someone appear to be a natural communicator.
299
Natural communicators, they're not afraid of using their entire range.
300
This is where I put the rest of the communicators here on the table.
301
Sade here, Simon, Mel Robbins, and finally, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
302
They all use their voice, their body language, and they use their words intentionally to get their message across.
303
And they do this effortlessly and unconsciously.
304
Unlike the rookie and the pretty good communicators, natural communicators no longer have to think about it.
305
They do this now unconsciously.
306
And the beautiful part about this is, now you bring this ability into every single conversation, into every single room that you step into.
307
That's why I believe improving this skill will change your life.
308
Because you use it in every single area of your life
309
life then why are you even whispering at this point well
310
because homo erectus is back come with me we have to be really quiet look at him now
311
so refined seamless integration between voice body
312
and words oh look he's managed to attract another potential mate
313
look they're frolicking oh look at the frolicking this is the highest praise one can achieve in the animal kingdom
314
Homo Peter has done it.
315
Oh god, these skits have been amazing.
316
Well done to my entire team.
317
Hey, let's celebrate them by liking the video and subscribing.
318
Catch Craig.
319
Oh god, you're very good at disappointing me and everybody in the team.
320
So, what does a natural communicator sound like?
321
They have access to their full range, like I said before.
322
Let's dive into it more specifically.
323
They have five dials available to them and they're using all five dials simultaneously Full range without even thinking about it.
324
Rate of speech.
325
They can go fast to show passion and then they can slow down To emphasize what's important.
326
Volume.
327
They can go loud to show vitality And then they can soften their volume to show intimacy.
328
Pitch.
329
They can go high pitch They can be really playful with their voice to show warmth
330
and playfulness and then they can go low pitch to show authority
331
Tonality they can inject emotion into their voice to sound more authentic and less robotic with the pause
332
They know how to pause to create impact now I want
333
you to listen to some of these clips from the people here
334
And I want you to see if you can notice them using these five dials.
335
There is so much more that led to that situation situation.
336
Maybe that person was having a really bad day.
337
Maybe that person's relationship just broke down and you're meeting them right at that point.
338
Maybe they're in pain.
339
And yet we have this one second, two second, one minute interaction.
340
Our brain goes into what you see is all there is.
341
And you forget that there's so much else.
342
What is the let them theory?
343
So it's a simple truth about life.
344
Okay.
345
If you want more peace, if you want more power, if you want more time and energy, stop trying to control and change other people and learn how to let them be who they are,
346
let them have their opinions, let them do what they're going to do, and then focus that time and energy back on yourself.
347
We got our sense of belief from church.
348
Work was the place we made our living.
349
We had barbecues with our neighbors.
350
And over time, those things have disappeared.
351
And now we demand of our work that you be the place of purpose.
352
You be the place of community.
353
You be the place of my social life.
354
Now you be the place that matches my politics.
355
We're putting all this pressure on work to fulfill every desire I have, and we're doing the exact same thing in our relationships." Notice the variety across the five dials?
356
The variety in their voice is what holds attention, creates engagement that leads to influence.
357
That's what makes these communicators masterful.
358
They use all the elements of their voice.
359
Next, how do natural communicators use their body language?
360
What sets them apart from everybody else is that they can express their full range with intentional expression.
361
They have a larger gesture vocabulary.
362
They give more powerful eye contact.
363
They move with purpose.
364
And the most important is that they understand the importance of facial expressions.
365
Because think about this.
366
Where are most people looking while you're talking?
367
Where are you looking right now?
368
You're looking at my face.
369
People are looking at your face the most while you're talking.
370
People don't realize that their face is often a part of their body language.
371
Because of this, they never engage in their face while they're talking, and they end up with an RBF for most of their lives.
372
And they wonder why people don't find them easy to connect with.
373
And let me explain why being able to express emotion on your face is so critical.
374
When people see the emotion in your face, but they don't hear the emotion in your voice, then they don't feel it.
375
So in order to make people feel what you're saying, they need to hear the emotion in your voice and see the emotion in your face.
376
The natural communicators understand the importance of syncing how they look to how they sound, which ultimately impacts the way people feel.
377
That's an entirely different plane of communication that most never access.
378
Just compare these two examples of me saying something without emotion and with emotion.
379
I'm really sorry, honey.
380
I'll promise I'll never forget Valentine's Day again.
381
You mean the world to me.
382
I'm really sorry honey, I promise I'll never forget Valentine's Day again.
383
You mean the world to me.
384
It made no difference to my wife whether I had emotion in what I said
385
or not because she's still pissed about it.
386
But for most people, it's super effective.
387
So whether you're a rookie or a pretty good communicator, you can level up your communication by simply learning how to express more emotion with your face.
388
Because it brings you to life and it adds a layer of meaning that words alone can't.
389
And now to the final one, and I'll reveal this right at the end because I want to demonstrate it for you first.
390
Natural communicators understand that there are so many other ways to communicate a message that aren't just purely with using words.
391
They have frameworks, yes they do, they use them all the time.
392
But added to this, they now use stories, analogies, activities, props, David Attenborough skits like the ones I've used throughout this video to keep you engaged.
393
So for this example, I'll show you how I can say the same thing but deliver it using an analogy, a prop, and with a story.
394
If I wanted to communicate to you the message that you should go and read more books, I could simply tell you, You should read more books.
395
Books are good.
396
Now although this is true, it's not very influential, is it?
397
Now let me show you how I can communicate the same thing with an analogy, a prop, and a story.
398
Reading is to the mind like exercise is for the body.
399
The more you read the healthier your mind becomes
400
when someone creates a video on social media They might have
401
just spent a few hours thinking about what they're going to say what you're consuming It's momentary entertainment, but when someone writes a book,
402
this is different They've given years of their life to get the message, right?
403
They've taken years to distill every single page
404
and this is a result of research experience failure and learning So when you read this, you're not just consuming information, you're absorbing someone's life's work.
405
That's a very different thing as to consuming a social media video.
406
Books are good.
407
When I was in my mid-20s, I lost half a million dollars because of a single mistake that I made with my online magic business.
408
I was sitting in a room feeling sorry for myself and then my dad walks in and my dad says to me, Why do you think you're to fail?
409
And I shrugged and I said, I don't know man, I'm really not in the mood for a lecture.
410
And then he walked straight over to my bookshelf
411
and he pulls one of my books off it
412
And he waves in front of my face and he goes you'll fail
413
because you'll have known a soldier in the army
414
And I remember thinking to myself Don't give me this Confucius crap and then he says something truly brilliant my dad
415
He says son every time you read a book
416
that author stands behind you in an army ready to fight in whatever battle You call him
417
or her into you need at least 100 soldiers
418
if you want to win the battles of entrepreneurship Now that time I had about four books on my shelf.
419
So that's four soldiers.
420
Then he reached into his pocket grabbed his credit card
421
and said Go build your damn army You know the reason I'm telling you this story is
422
because often in life when you don't achieve the things you want It's rarely because you're not capable.
423
It's often because you just don't know how you don't have enough soldiers in your army Books are good.
424
Do you see how many ways you could communicate the exact same message of read more books?
425
This is their secret Secret.
426
They use their entire word toolkit.
427
The best communicators, the natural communicators, they know exactly when to use which one of those tools.
428
So listen, I want you to know that no matter where you are on your communication journey, becoming a natural communicator is possible.
429
I mean, how can I say this with such conviction?
430
Well, let me ask you, where do you think I fit on this board?
431
Look at this handsome chap in a turtleneck trying to be like Steve Jobs.
432
Where do you think he goes?
433
You're most likely thinking that I go right here, don't you?
434
And if you were thinking that you're correct because I'm pretty bloody good, aren't I?
435
But you know what?
436
You're also wrong because I've also been here and I've also been here too.
437
English is my third language.
438
I first learned Di Jiu, which is a Chinese dialect.
439
Then I learned Vietnamese and only learned English when I was about eight years old.
440
I struggled with communication my entire life
441
and as a kid from a refugee family like mine I
442
went from being someone who was completely invisible to now being
443
one of the most visible thought leaders teaching the very skill
444
that I used to suck at I mean if that's not proof
445
that Being a natural communicator becoming a better communicator is possible
446
Then I don't know what is what I'm saying is
447
if I can do it you can too You see there's a final mystery face.
448
That's on the table here I mean, who is that?
449
Well, that's actually You But not you right now.
450
This is the future version of you.
451
This is the version of you that will be able to become a
452
natural a Masterful communicator So don't be
453
so attached to who you are in the present
454
that you don't give this future version of you a chance

Cos'è che imparerai
Questo video ti insegna a identificare e correggere tre errori comuni nella comunicazione inglese: la deliver flat (intonazione senza variazione), il vocal fry (voce crepitante) e l'uso eccessivo di filler words (parole riempitrici come "um", "uh", "like"). Questi skills ti aiuteranno a passare da "comunicatore rookie" a "naturale", migliorando la tua pronuncia inglese e la chiarezza del discorso.
Ascolta questi suoni
Nel dialogo, nota come i filler words interrompono il flusso: "um", "uh", "like", "you know". Questi suoni sono tipici ma diventano problematici se usati troppo spesso. Inoltre, il vocal fry si sente come una voce roca e bassa alla fine delle frasi, come nel caso di Sam. Osserva anche la deliver flat: ogni parola con la stessa velocità, tono e volume, simile a un GPS. Questi elementi sono chiave per capire cosa evitare.
Parla come un madrelingua
Per imitare il ritmo e l'accento dei madrelingua, usa la tecnica del shadowspeak (o shadow speak): ascolta un frammento del video, poi ripeterlo immediatamente, cercando di copiare tono, velocità e pausa. Ecco i passaggi:
- Riduci i filler words: pratica a parlare senza "um" o "like", sostituendoli con pause brevi.
- Varia l'intonazione: alza il tono alla fine delle domande e abbassa dopo le affermazioni per creare interesse.
- Evita il vocal fry: respira profondamente e mantieni una voce chiara anche alla fine delle frasi.
Un buon shadowing site può aiutarti a esercitarti quotidianamente, migliorando la tua pronuncia inglese e la confidenza nel parlare. Ricorda: la chiave è la pratica costante!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've discovered · we've introduced · they've been given |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | they've been given · being said · isn't scripted |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | students who come · Jiu, which is · someone who was |
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.
