Pratica di Shadowing: I Spent TWO Weeks in Tokyo to Shop...Here's Where I Went! - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Good afternoon everyone, welcome to Tokyo.

This is our little apartment that we're staying in.

Albie is here for three months

because he is in Japanese language school learning some Japanese and I'm here just having a blast.

Every weekday Albie has class

so I will have like four hours every single day to just like do what I need to do

and I feel like Japan

or Tokyo is a really safe city to travel solo especially as a woman so I'm gonna go out and do stuff.

I'm also a huge introvert so the fact

that like no one bothers you no one talks to you

while you're just out and about by yourself it's like an introvert's dream over here so let's rock and roll

I'm going

to go to the next video.

0 to 10?

10. Out of 20?

Out of 10.

Out of 20?

20?

What the heck was that?

Oh, I was talking into this.

Good afternoon, everyone.

I have my yogurt drink, milk-rich flavor.

What does that mean?

Nobody knows, but it's provocative.

So provocative that we bought it because we didn't know what it meant.

You know what I'm saying?

Here are our outfits of the day.

we are going to a neighborhood in Tokyo today called Kuenji.

If this is your style, this vibe, you know, like Ivy preppy style, this is the neighborhood that you need to be going to.

There is so many like Ralph Lauren Americana shops.

So it's really nice.

And there's also my favorite store.

Yes.

He got some really nice Alden loafers there.

I would like to see

if I can find a pair of loafers for myself they only have men's shoes

but japanese men's shoe sizes tend to be smaller

and narrower than western men's sizing so i'm hoping

that i can find something for me that would be very exciting for me

so let's get going let's go take a long we love fun say

say tara now manga people that are now manga people period No.

So we randomly came across this, well I guess not randomly, we pursued it.

We found it on Google Maps, but it was like a banh mi place called Banh Mi By Me.

Cute.

And it was like this couple in like this little shop and the food was actually super good.

I got a chicken banh mi with peanut sauce and sesame sauce, or a peanut sesame sauce, and it was so good.

I loved it.

What did you get?

I think I got like the traditional pate roast pork.

It's really good.

Oh, that was a kid.

I was like, what the hell is that?

Yes.

And then I also got a Vietnamese iced coffee, you know, with condensed milk.

I gotta have that.

And now I feel much better.

Now you can actually vlog.

You have the energy?

Yes.

So now we're going to vintage shops.

This neighborhood is particularly famous for its vintage shop with Shimokitazawa But I think Koenji is a bit nicer.

Shimokitazawa has become a bit touristy while here there's some really good shops particularly

if you like like Ivy Yeah there's a lot of really cool shops over here Probably

because I have a camera with the microphone out so

Welcome to the

Very nice.

Like new.

Oh my gosh, it's so much better.

It's so better.

Yeah, it was falling apart.

Like the tip as well.

Yeah.

Oh, that looks so good. So nice.

Hello folks, we are now on our way to build our own fountain pen.

We actually went to this place a few days ago, but I wanted to record it and I forgot my camera.

So I got my camera, we're here on another day, and we're gonna make our own fountain pen.

Very excited.

This looks so bad.

This looks like a pen pen, right?

Alright, see ya.

I think I can have one of the glasses like this.

Yeah, it's fine. Is that matching?

I can't tell.

Yeah, it's matching.

Oh, no, it's never mind.

Show me how excited I am. So, I'm

going to

go to the next video.

Thank you.

Thank you yeah

You found what you liked?

Mm-hmm.

Show me. Be happy.

Mission success.

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.
