1
Rachel, that was amazing.
2
Thank you, Louis.
3
We're gonna win.
4
You did win.
5
Don't worry, I'm not going to take your cat.
6
I am a man of honor.
7
That's very gracious of you.
8
In fact, I'm glad we had this trial, because you and I both know you didn't win on the merits of the case.
9
You won because the associates prefer your tough love to my light touch.
10
Yeah, they do.
11
But Mikado belongs with me.
12
And this trial showed me there's something you care about more than her.
13
Nothing?
14
Yes.
15
The associates.
16
I'm offering you a settlement.
17
No. You get back the associates.
18
I get back my cat.
19
No. I need a moment to confer with my client. Of course.
20
I do love her, you know.
21
Louis, as your attorney, I need to say this.
22
Please don't make me choose.
23
She's Nigel's cat.
24
As much as Mikado means to you, I know the associates mean more.
25
No, not more.
26
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.
27
What philosopher said that?
28
Spock.
29
The Wrath of Khan.
30
I will take her back to Nigel for you.
31
Well, thanks for doing this for me, Rachel.
32
But I want to do something for you first.
33
A reward of sorts. for your victory.
34
See, I was right to pick you to be my lawyer, and as it turns out, Columbia Law School degrees.
35
Who's that?
36
I saw it on the nail cart this morning.
37
I wanted to say it before you.
38
Congratulations, Rachel.
39
You're gonna be a lawyer.
40
A real lawyer.
41
Foreman versus Hart Med.
42
I want it.
43
Good morning, Harvey.
44
What can I do for you today?
45
I'm serious.
46
They're pushing for a settlement because they know our client can afford it.
47
I know they are.
48
You haven't even looked at the file.
49
My name is on the door.
50
You think I don't know our cases?
51
So why are we settling?
52
Because regardless of the merits of this case, it's not worth our time.
53
Harvey, listen.
54
Hart Med's in-house lawyer negotiated this because the bad PR cost them more than the settlement.
55
We'd have to get the thing dismissed to make it worth it.
56
That's not gonna happen.
57
The lawyer is Nick Rinaldi.
58
Who the hell is Nick Rinaldi?
59
You don't remember?
60
I was 11 years old, a little boy, powerless.
61
I watched him boil my parents' lives down to a few dollars.
62
Yes.
63
I'm not gonna let that piece of shit get a penny from us.
64
I said yes.
65
Thanks, Harvey.
66
If you wanna thank me, why don't you go beat the shit out of this guy?
67
Monday, 2.20 PM.
68
This conundrum is burning a hole in my brain.
69
Think.
70
Logically.
71
I mean, Sheila is professional and meticulous and wonderfully anal.
72
And if she says that nothing gets misplaced in her inner sanctum, then I believe her.
73
Which leaves the national security option. Is Mike Ross CIA?
74
Tch.
75
Please.
76
There's a better chance that Esther's in the KGB.
77
I mean, I can ask Sheila if I'm no longer fond of my testicles, which...
78
Wait a second.
79
Missing testicles.
80
Missing file.
81
It can't be missing if it doesn't exist.
82
Holy shit.
83
What if Mike Ross never went to Harvard at all?
84
What if he just went to some crabby third tier law school like Fordham or Arizona State?
85
Yeah, hey, bro.
86
Yeah, no, I'll see you at the party.
87
I'm not gonna study for the bar.
88
Damn straight, that's right.
89
Bros before hoes.
90
Oh yeah, you know...
91
All right, that's enough.
92
He's been peeing directly into our pristine pool of eliteness.
93
He's been...
94
Oh shoot, it's blinking out.
95
Norma, really quickly, I need you to get a pack of rechargeable triple...
96
Shit, it's out.
97
You wanna see me?
98
Professor Gerard's legal ethics class, you take it?
99
Of course, everyone has to take it.
100
What'd you get?
101
Killed it.
102
You got an A minus.
103
Out of curiosity, did you ever hear of anybody ever getting an A plus?
104
Plus?
105
What?
106
No, he's famous for never giving higher than an A.
107
He doesn't believe in it.
108
Thank you Simon, that'll be all.
109
I invited Henry Girard here to give a lecture this Friday.
110
That's great.
111
You don't even know who he is, do you?
112
Professor Henry Gerard, author of the definitive text in legal ethics and chair of the department for the last 20 years.
113
Yeah, I know who he is.
114
And do you also remember what she got in his class?
115
It's pretty hard to forget an A+.
116
Yeah, it's pretty hard to forget a grade that never happened.
117
No one gets an A-plus in Gerard's class.
118
No one can recite an entire chapter of his book from memory, but I can. And did.
119
Bullshit.
120
You never got an A-plus because you never took his class.
121
It's a required class, Lewis.
122
Of course I took it.
123
Not if you never went to Harvard.
124
Lewis, that is insane.
125
I have a transcript from Harvard.
126
I have a degree from Harvard.
127
That's because I...
128
Wait, let me guess.
129
Because you went to Harvard?
130
See, Mike, here's a situation.
131
I don't believe you.
132
And I don't want to call Gerard up and ask him, because I don't want the world laughing at my firm.
133
But if he doesn't walk up to you on Friday and say, Mike Ross, my beloved student who I remember because he's the only one I ever gave an A plus to, well, then I'm gonna know you're lying.
134
And if you still don't come clean, I'm gonna launch a formal investigation, whether it makes my firm look bad or not.
135
This is crazy.
136
There is nothing to investigate.
137
Well, I'd rather risk looking crazy to root out an impostor than to risk letting
138
that impostor poison everything that I stand for.
139
It's over, Mike.
140
I'm on to you.
141
And I'm gonna expose you for the lying piece of filth that you are.
142
Don't forget to rinse your mouth out after you're done throwing up.
143
I can't believe this.
144
He is not going to be happy until he has a signed full confession proving he was right.
145
You're right.
146
That's exactly what I'm going to give him.
147
What?
148
Lewis, I went to Harvard.
149
I just changed my grade.
150
You expect me to leave that?
151
I have always been the smartest kid at every school that I went to.
152
High school, college, the first two years of Harvard, I'd get A's without studying.
153
I'd ace every test without going to class. But that third year...
154
You had to take Gerard.
155
I could memorize his books, but his tests weren't about his books.
156
They were about his lectures.
157
Final exam.
158
I failed it.
159
I went to his office to beg for a second chance.
160
Doesn't give second chances.
161
I had to try.
162
You wouldn't do it.
163
He wasn't there.
164
Got to his office, it was empty.
165
Empty.
166
His computer is just sitting there, logged into the main system.
167
He's about to submit his grades.
168
I only had a few seconds before he came back, so I decided to save myself.
169
No, you decided to give yourself an A+.
170
No, Lewis.
171
You might not be able to believe me about anything else ever again.
172
Believe this.
173
You have no idea how much I wish I could do it over again, Because this time, I would do it right.
174
I would go to every class, and I would attend every lecture, and I would feast on what that place has to offer like no one ever has.
175
But you didn't do it right the first time.
176
You cheated.
177
And now you're looking at me to help you get away with it.
178
No, Louis, get out of my sight.
179
What a surprise.
180
Louis, please, I just want to...
181
I know what you want to do.
182
You want to lobby me on behalf of someone who has the audacity?
183
I love him.
184
What?
185
We're moving in together, and we're starting a life together.
186
Rachel?
187
And I'm telling you this because I know what he did.
188
And I still love him.
189
Okay, here's the problem.
190
I don't.
191
Louis.
192
Rachel, I respect you.
193
I care about you.
194
But this isn't about you.
195
This is about Mike and what he did to me.
196
you know he came to me the night
197
that you asked him to be your associate i told him to go with you why
198
because he said he had a connection with you that he's never had with harvey
199
he said that yes your shared love of the law i told him
200
that i know
201
and i have the same connection with you rachel you're asking
202
me to lewis he didn't do this to you he did it
203
so that He can practice the thing that we all love.
204
And if you don't let it go, he's never going to be able to practice it again.
205
You're here late.
206
Life of an associate, right?
207
Yeah, I remember.
208
I used to live in this room.
209
Work piled all around me.
210
surviving on coffee, delivery, and no sleep.
211
The whole time wondering, man, is it ever going to get any easier? Does it?
212
No. But you still love it. So do you.
213
Or else you'd be home with a woman who loves you, not spending your night here.
214
You know.
215
She came to see me.
216
I didn't think I could forgive you, but then somehow she made me realize I could.
217
Lewis, I don't know how to thank you.
218
No, no, no. Don't thank me yet.
219
I'm not the one you did this to.
220
What are you saying?
221
I'm saying you did this to Henry Gerard.
222
It's not my place to let it go for him, which is why you're going to have to come clean to him.
223
You said it yourself.
224
Gerard doesn't give second chances.
225
What he does or doesn't do is up to him.
226
That's his right, Mike, as the person that you wronged.
227
Yeah, but he doesn't have to know that I wronged him.
228
Listen to me.
229
You said that if you had it to do over, you'd do it right.
230
I'm giving you that chance.
231
Take it, or I'm gonna have to take it for you.
232
So, your great plan backfired.
233
Harvey, I'm sorry.
234
I don't need you to say I'm sorry, but the next time I tell you to sit tight, I need you to say you will.
235
Okay.
236
Good, because the next time I tell you to sit tight is right now.
237
Wait, what are you gonna do?
238
I'm getting on a plane to Boston.
239
And doing what?
240
I'll let you know when I get back.
241
You didn't get it done.
242
How did you know?
243
Because I know you would call to tell me if it's okay, and you didn't call, so it's not okay.
244
Then why are you so calm?
245
Because you taught me enough to know that it's going to be okay.
246
It's not.
247
What?
248
It's not going to be okay.
249
I don't see what we're going to do.
250
What do you mean you don't see what we're going to do?
251
You're Harvey Specter.
252
What's that supposed to mean?
253
It means there's a gun pointed at our heads.
254
There's 146 things that we can do.
255
We just have to put our heads together and figure it out.
256
What the hell do you think I've been doing all goddamn night?
257
Lewis has us.
258
He's not gonna let it go.
259
And there's nothing we can do to stop it.
260
There has to be something.
261
There isn't.
262
I refuse to believe that.
263
I don't give a shit what you believe.
264
Get it through your head.
265
I'm not Superman.
266
I failed and I don't know what to do.
267
Mike.
268
The Time
269
to wake up.
270
Oh, five minutes mom
271
Did you just call me mom what no Lewis I've said before the bedroom There's a no-mom talk zone.
272
Understood.
273
You have to get your dream.
274
I'll take the later one.
275
Who are you, and what have you done with my boyfriend, Louis Litt?
276
Oh, you mean the guy who sweats profusely before closing an argument?
277
Yeah.
278
Yeah, the guy's gone.
279
Really?
280
Oh, my God.
281
You're completely dry.
282
Your love has made me dry, Sheila.
283
I'm a changed man.
284
It's hard.
285
I wanna rock your world for one more hour and then I wanna kick some ass in court.
286
Because today nothing can go wrong.
287
Today's my god damn day.
288
Yeah.
289
It hurts.
290
Dammit!
291
I'm feeling with the fire.
292
No, no. Just the fire.
293
It's Lewis.
294
Lewis Litt, your boss.
295
Don't play your games with me now, woman.
296
I'm due for closing arguments in 30 minutes and I need you to stall.
297
No, you do not pull the fire alarm as a tactic, okay?
298
Okay?
299
I need you to just buy me 10 minutes without committing a crime.
300
Taxi!
301
There we go.
302
Come on, baby.
303
My man.
304
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't you upstream me.
305
That's my cab.
306
That's my taxi.
307
This is my cab.
308
This is my cab.
309
Hey, I'm gonna sue you.
310
I'm gonna sue you for sucking.
311
I'm gonna sue you for not being a...
312
Okay, I need your name, date of birth, and I need...
313
All right, let's lift this up.
314
Mr. Lift!
315
Sorry, Your Honor.
316
Sorry I'm late.
317
Are you ready for closing arguments?
318
Yes, I am.
319
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, opposing counsel has accused my client of a great many things.
320
But you see, here's the problem.
321
They don't have one single fact to back up their claim.
322
I mean, not one.
323
So you know what I'm gonna do?
324
I'm gonna challenge you.
325
Actually, no, scratch that.
326
dare you to find dispute with the facts of this case as we presented them.
327
Because are you a good person?
328
Yes.
329
Are you a good person?
330
Yes. Are you?
331
Actually, you took notes so I could see you, Carrie.
332
See, this is the kind of jury that they teach about.
333
This is the kind of jury that's going to hear me when I say these four words.
334
Do you know what those four words are?
335
Because I want you to remember these four words to your dying breath.
336
He didn't do it!
337
He didn't do it.
338
Mr. Litt, are you okay?
339
I'm alright, yeah, I'm fine.
340
Bailiff, call an ambulance.
341
I'm sorry to interrupt, do you have a minute?
342
What can I do for you?
343
The timing on this is terrible, and I apologize for that.
344
What is it?
345
I need the first check for my law school tuition.
346
Excuse me?
347
Maybe you don't remember, but when I was wrongfully dismissed, one of the terms of my rehiring was that the firm pays for my law school.
348
I remember just fine, and the only term of your rehiring was a 10% increase in salary.
349
What?
350
No, I'm telling you, this was an agreed-upon term, and...
351
And I'm telling you, I know nothing about that.
352
And if I had heard about it, I would have never approved it.
353
I was scapegoated by this firm.
354
And when you agreed to come back, you were given a 10% raise.
355
That's standard.
356
My situation was not standard.
357
In what way?
358
Lewis accused me of being disloyal. And?
359
And he turned out to be wrong.
360
The problem, Rachel, is that you have no record of what you're saying.
361
He agreed to it.
362
He is your agent.
363
You're bound by this.
364
I don't know that.
365
And the man just had a heart attack.
366
And I'm not going to call him and ask him.
367
I know that, and I don't want you to.
368
Then this conversation is over.
369
Donna said you wanted to see me about some more managerial bullshit.
370
What?
371
Don't you think I learned my lesson with the checks?
372
Then why am I here?
373
You're here to listen to me.
374
Do you know what this is about?
375
Yes.
376
And I already told you...
377
I am not here to ask you to honor Louis' contract.
378
I am here to ask you to make a new one with me.
379
Our contract with you is the promise of a job when you get out.
380
Not paying for you on your way in.
381
I have a list here of the signing bonuses of the top three associates who've come into this firm.
382
Give me an advance on mine.
383
The last time we negotiated?
384
You said never sign something without getting something in return.
385
What you're getting in return is that I keep working here part-time.
386
The advance plus my salary will cover my tuition.
387
Paralegals don't make that much.
388
Those numbers don't add up.
389
I'm not proposing being a paralegal.
390
Some of our associates work as lawyers, and I can do the same.
391
Came up with that pretty fast.
392
It's almost as if you wanted me to ask you what I get in return.
393
Do we have a deal?
394
One problem.
395
You already asked me to break precedent once.
396
When I waive the Harvard rule, I'm not breaking it again to pay for law school.
397
I'm not asking you to break anything.
398
You already established precedent with him when you paid for his law school.
399
That is not common knowledge.
400
No, it's not.
401
That's why she wanted me here.
402
I'm Exhibit A.
403
You made an investment in Harvey, and I think that turned out pretty well.
404
I could argue that point.
405
No, Rachel's right.
406
I'm pretty awesome.
407
Mike?
408
Mike, I need to talk to you.
409
No, no, I can't even be seen with you.
410
Go.
411
No, you have to talk to me.
412
Alison Holt just fired me out of the blue.
413
I'm freaking out, man.
414
Pam, listen to me.
415
You have to calm down, alright?
416
Harold Gunderson, you're not welcome here.
417
You know what, Lewis, we're kind of in the middle of something right now.
418
Don't give a shit.
419
Mike, do me a favor.
420
Do not let this unappreciative ex-employee into our offices.
421
Harold, you have to go.
422
Right now.
423
Wait, Mike.
424
Please.
425
I got a call from the U.S.
426
Attorney's Office asking for me to come in.
427
Somehow, they're on to what we did, and I think we need to go in.
428
Harold, Harold, Harold.
429
All I know about that settlement is that you stuck it to us
430
because you saw the chance to get back at us for firing you.
431
Mike, that's not true.
432
I don't want to hear it, Harold.
433
What you did was harsh and vindictive, but it was completely legal because you initiated it.
434
And nobody can prove anything other than that as long as we both remember it.
435
I lost my job, Mike.
436
Sorry about that, Harold.
437
I wish there was something I could do.
438
Now I have to go back inside.
439
Michael Ross, Harold Gunnarsson, You're under arrest for conspiracy to defraud the United States government.
440
Hey, thanks for meeting with me.
441
Donna, you can thank me all you want.
442
I don't know anything about Eric Woodall.
443
Oh, Stephanie, come on.
444
You know everything that goes on in that office.
445
You just don't want to tell me.
446
What do you want to know?
447
Well, how about we start with why he's coming after Harvey?
448
Because he hates dirty lawyers.
449
He thinks they're the scum of the earth.
450
And Harvey got on his radar.
451
And the reason Woodall's not on your radar is because the last case he won took him four years.
452
So you're saying he'll stop at nothing?
453
Not that I've ever seen.
454
Then we need to know what he's got.
455
No way.
456
I called you when they brought your guy in.
457
I could lose my jaw for that as it is.
458
You have something else a lot more important than your job, thanks to me.
459
When are you gonna stop holding that over my head?
460
In another 30 seconds, if you tell me what I need to know.
461
He's got nothing.
462
But the thing is, he wins with nothing.
463
You just said he hates dirty lawyers, and now you're saying he'll break the law?
464
He may, he may not, but he'll definitely bend the shit out of it.
465
I wanna know what's going on.
466
I told you what's going on.
467
Harvey and I are taking care of a situation.
468
That's a bullshit answer, and you know it.
469
I don't know how it went with you and Edward Darby, but you come into my office with that attitude, and it won't go well for you with me.
470
My attitude comes from the fact that I worked for Edward Darby.
471
I don't want to work for another one.
472
You're way out of line.
473
Your name is not on the door here.
474
No, but if this all comes down because of something you and Harvey did, I'm tainted by it.
475
Then walk away, Scotty.
476
I'm not stopping you.
477
No, the non-compete you had means I'm stopping me.
478
Is that what's stopping you?
479
Jessica, I moved my life back to New York.
480
I don't want to move again.
481
So I'm asking you one more time.
482
What is going on?
483
What's going on is you and Harvey made an impulsive deal for you to come here.
484
And clearly it's not working out or you'd be having this conversation with him and not me.
485
Well, what did the cat drag in?
486
I've been in here for two hours.
487
You said I was under arrest, but still haven't been processed.
488
I demand to call Harvey.
489
Sorry, we can't have that.
490
I guess you can't have a guilty verdict against me or anybody else, because I know my rights.
491
I'm afraid your rights run smack into a little something called the Patriot Act.
492
Whatever bullshit you're trying to pull only applies to terrorists.
493
And it's a good thing there are allegations of terrorism against those Heskington witnesses.
494
You're not gonna get away with this.
495
I'm not getting away with anything.
496
I'm just being thorough by looking at these allegations.
497
Try to be patient.
498
Maybe think about the fact that Harold Gunderson's trying to be patient.
499
Right next to her.
500
Okay, is something wrong?
501
Yeah, something's wrong.
502
We got into a fight.
503
I haven't seen him since.
504
Well, I haven't seen him since he was talking to Harold, but I need him to give him...
505
He was talking to Harold?
506
Yeah, I don't know.
507
They're having some idiotic fight outside.
508
Why?
509
No, it's nothing.
510
I have to go talk to Harvey.
511
Oh, wait a second.
512
Harvey?
513
Does this have something to do with why I miss his meeting this morning?
514
I can't.
515
Rachel.
516
You need to tell me what the hell's going on right now.
517
Donna, I know you saw what happened in the lobby.
518
I don't want to hear about it.
519
Harvey, I can't find Mike.
520
What?
521
I've tried his email, I've tried texting, I've looked everywhere.
522
I'm telling you, Mike is nowhere to be found.
523
Lewis, not now.
524
Yes, now Harvey, I know where he is.
525
He's under arrest, along with Harold Gunderson.
526
We need to get down there right now.
527
Let me get this straight.
528
You two were in a heated conversation when we picked you up, and that had nothing to do with this.
529
It had everything to do with it.
530
You mean you were trying to cover your tracks?
531
No, we were having a heated conversation about what bullshit charges these are.
532
Okay, I'm done playing your games.
533
He was your only friend at that firm.
534
You got fired, you got him another job.
535
And that's why you went to him to set this whole thing up.
536
You've got your information wrong.
537
He wasn't my friend.
538
I had the chance to save his job.
539
But instead, he threw me under the bus.
540
That is why I instituted this lawsuit.
541
So you can take your bullshit allegations somewhere else because I am not going to roll on Harvey.
542
I'm not rolling on Mike and Harold?
543
It's not gonna roll on me.
544
You guys are well rehearsed.
545
So I'll ask you again, is that what you were doing on the street today?
546
Jesus Christ, you know you drive like my nana?
547
He drives like my nana and she's 102.
548
Relax, Louis.
549
Ray's on it.
550
Nobody's getting us there faster.
551
I mean, I can't believe this whole thing's been going on.
552
I've been completely out of the loop.
553
Louis, I don't want to rehash it.
554
Right now, Mike's in custody.
555
We need to get him out.
556
You need to tell me what the hell happened.
557
Are you asking if we broke the law when we made that settlement with Harold?
558
That's exactly what I'm asking.
559
We have exposure.
560
Well, then you better hope that Ray drives a little goddamn faster, because you and I both know what's going on in there.
561
Thank you.

Perché praticare a parlare con questo video?
Se vuoi migliorare la tua conversazione in inglese in contesti reali, questo video è perfetto! I dialoghi di "Suits" sono ricchi di interazioni professionali e personali, con toni che variano da serio a ironico. La pratica con questo tipo di contenuto ti aiuta a capire come usare l'inglese in situazioni concrete, mentre il shadowing in inglese (ripetere immediatamente le frasi dopo i personaggi) rafforza la tua pronuncia e la fluidità. È un modo divertente per imparare l'inglese con i video, senza sentirti come in una lezione!.
Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto
Analizziamo alcune frasi chiave del dialogo:
- "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one": Questa struttura usa il plurale per esprimere un concetto generico. La parola "outweigh" (superare) è utile per confrontare valori, un must nella conversazione formale.
- "I need a moment to confer with my client": "To confer with" (consultare) è un verbo phrasal spesso usato in contesti legali o professionali. Impararlo ti dà sicurezza in situazioni di lavoro.
- "You won because the associates prefer your tough love to my light touch": "Prefer... to..." (preferire... a...) è una struttura semplice ma fondamentale per esprimere scelte. "Tough love" (amore duro) e "light touch" (approccio delicato) sono espressioni idiomatiche che aggiungono profondità al tuo linguaggio.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Nel video, alcune parole possono creare difficoltà:
- "Associates": La pronuncia corretta è /əˈsoʊʃieɪts/, ma molti apprendisti sbagliano a pronunciare la "ci" come /ʃ/. Ascolta attentamente come i personaggi la dicono!
- "Merits": La "e" finale è silenziosa, quindi si dice /ˈmɛrɪts/. Evita di aggiungere una vocalizzazione extra.
- "Gracious": La "c" si pronuncia /ʃ/, quindi /ˈɡreɪʃəs/. È facile confonderla con "graceful", ma il suono è diverso.
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 | haven't even looked · have always been · I've said |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | was scapegoated · were given · be seen |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | student who I · someone who has · woman who loves |
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.
