Hello everyone and welcome back to our podcast series, English on the Go.
3
I'm your host, Alex.
4
Today, we have an exciting topic to discuss.
5
It's never too late to learn something.
6
We will explore how learning new things can be beneficial at any age.
7
So let's dive in and see what we can learn today.
8
Learning new skills and hobbies is something many people think is only for the young.
9
The truth is, it's never too late to start learning something new.
10
Whether you want to pick up a new hobby, learn a new language, or try something you've always been interested in, age is not a barrier.
11
In this episode, we will talk about why it's important to keep learning and how it can positively impact your life.
12
Before we listen to today's conversation, let's think about a few questions.
13
First, have you ever thought about learning something new?
14
Felt it was too late for you?
15
Second, why do you think some people believe learning new things is only for younger people?
16
Think about these questions as you listen to the conversation.
17
Hi Emma, I was thinking about something interesting.
18
Have you ever learned a new skill later in life?
19
Hello Tom.
20
Yes I have.
21
A few years ago I started learning to play the guitar.
22
I always wanted to, but I thought it was too late for me to begin.
23
It's amazing.
24
How did you find learning the guitar?
25
At first it was a bit difficult, had to practice a lot, and my fingers were not used to it.
26
But I enjoyed it so much.
27
I realized that age doesn't matter when you want to learn something new.
28
That's really inspiring.
29
I've also started something new recently.
30
I began learning to paint.
31
I always liked art, but I never took the time to learn how to paint properly.
32
Painting sounds like a lot of fun.
33
What do you like most about it?
34
I love how painting helps me relax.
35
It's nice to create something with my own hands.
36
and it's exciting to see my progress over time.
37
I agree.
38
Learning something new can be very rewarding.
39
When I started playing the guitar, it was a great way to express myself and have fun.
40
That's true.
41
and learning new skills can also boost our confidence.
42
It's nice to know that we can still learn and improve at any age.
43
Exactly.
44
Sometimes we think we are too old to start new things.
45
But learning is not just for young people.
46
It's for everyone who wants to grow and try new things.
47
Yes, and learning new things can also help us meet new people.
48
For example, I joined a painting class and made some new friends who love art.
49
That's a great way to meet people.
50
Taking classes or joining groups related to your new interest can help you connect with others who share the same passion.
51
Definitely.
52
and learning new skills can also give us a fresh perspective.
53
It's a way to change our routine and add something new to our lives.
54
Yes.
55
It's like a mental exercise that keeps us active and engaged.
56
We might discover new interests or talents we didn't know we had.
57
Even if we don't become experts, the process of learning is what matters.
58
It's about enjoying the experience and having fun.
59
Exactly.
60
So if you've been thinking about starting something new, don't let age stop you.
61
Just go for it and enjoy the learning process.
62
Great advice, Emma.
63
Learning is a lifelong journey.
64
Let's keep trying new things and enjoy every step of the way.
65
I agree, Tom.
66
Here's to never being too old to learn and grow.
67
Now that we've heard some interesting stories, let's talk about some key vocabulary related to our topic.
68
First skill.
69
It means an ability to do something well.
70
For example, Emma learned a new skill, playing the guitar.
71
Next, rewarding.
72
It means giving satisfaction or pleasure.
73
For example, Tom found painting very rewarding.
74
Another word is confidence.
75
It means believing in your abilities.
76
For example, learning new skills can boost your confidence.
77
Finally, perspective.
78
It means a particular way of looking at things.
79
For example, learning new things can give us a fresh perspective.
80
Now listen to the conversation again, and this time, try to identify these words.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Questo episodio del podcast "English on the Go" ci ricorda che non è mai troppo tardi per imparare qualcosa di nuovo. Praticare la conversazione in inglese attraverso video di questo tipo è benefico per migliorare le nostre abilità linguistiche. Attraverso il shadow speak, possiamo riprodurre le espressioni e i suoni naturali degli speakers. Questo non solo ci aiuta a migliorare la pronuncia, ma ci permette anche di acquisire sicurezza nell'uso della lingua in situazioni quotidiane.
Inoltre, i temi trattati — come l’apprendimento di nuove competenze e hobby — ci incoraggiano a esplorare il nostro potenziale nonostante l'età. Questo crea un contesto motivazionale per la pratica dell'inglese.
Grammatica ed espressioni in contesto
Nel dialogo, ci sono alcune strutture grammaticali e frasi chiave che meritano attenzione:
- “It’s never too late to learn” - Una frase utile per esprimere l'idea che non esiste un limite di età per apprendere. Utilizzare questa struttura può essere un buon modo per incoraggiare gli altri.
- “I’ve also started something new recently” - Qui si usa il tempo presente perfetto per descrivere esperienze recenti, una forma verbale frequentemente utilizzata per condividere ciò che è successo nella nostra vita.
- “I love how painting helps me relax” - Questa struttura può essere utilizzata per esprimere preferenze personali e i benefici che derivano da attività specifiche. È molto utile per ampliare il vocabolario sulla sintassi dei sentimenti e delle emozioni.
- “Learning new skills can also boost our confidence” - In essa si sottolinea il legame tra apprendimento e fiducia in sé, un aspetto importante per chi impara una lingua.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Durante il dialogo si possono notare alcuni termini e accenti che possono risultare complessi. Ecco alcuni punti da considerare:
- “guitar” - La pronuncia corretta è fondamentale; la "g" è morbida, simile a “gi” in italiano. In molte lingue, potrebbe essere pronunciata diversamente.
- “painting” - Attenzione alla pronuncia della "a" e alla "t" finale; potrebbe essere difficile da pronunciare correttamente per chi non ha familiarità con l’inglese.
- “relax” - La "r" iniziale è spesso una trappola per i non anglofoni; provare a prestare ascolto a come viene pronunciata e praticarla attraverso il shadowing in inglese.
Utilizzando video come questo, possiamo utilizzare il shadow speech per migliorare la nostra pronuncia e rendere più naturale il parlato. Con un po’ di pratica costante, possiamo fare significativi progressi nell' imparare l'inglese con youtube e nella nostra comunicazione quotidiana.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso | you've been thinking |
| “Used to” used to + verbo — un’abitudine o uno stato passato che non è più vero | used to it |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | you've always been interested · I've also started · we've heard |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | everyone who wants · friends who love |
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.
