Pratica di Shadowing: Learn 10X Faster In 10 Minutes - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

In the world that we live in, the ability to learn things fast is the ultimate skill.

So today in this video, I want to show you this workflow that I use because, well, learning things is literally my job and also a hobby.

For those of you who don't know me, hello, my name is Tina.

I am a ex-metadata scientist turned content creator about AI and tech.

I also run an AI education business called Learn the Octopus.

Now, without further ado, let's go.

A portion of this video is sponsored by Manus.

so step number one is called standing on the shoulder of giants over here you see is the study plan

that is the best way to learn ai coding agentic engineering

vibe coding whatever you want to call it based on the experiences the successes

and failures of many other people you see whatever you're trying

to learn chances are somebody has already learned it be

that a language driver's license ai ai coding whatever

so what you want to do is actually take the experiences of these other people

and stand on the shoulder of these giants to learn the way that is the best proven way to learn.

And the way to do that is to use Notebook LM.

Well, recently they re-banded themselves to Gemini Notebook.

Anyways, regardless of what they're called, their tagline is called Understand Anything, Your AI-Powered Research Partner.

So I actually have a full video covering Notebook LM, Gemini Notebook, that goes into a lot of detail about it, which you can check out over here if you're interested.

But today we're going to be focused on how to use it to learn things quickly.

So let's click Try Gemini Notebook, Create New Notebook, and let's say I want to learn AI coding.

I can type, I want to learn AI coding.

That is vibe coding, agentic engineering, whatever you want to call it.

So I want to eventually build a desktop app that can help me track my productivity habits, for example, and gain insights for improvement.

So help me gather the sources on how to learn this the best way possible

and gather some projects because I want to learn by doing.

Say tools I've heard of are Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, for example.

Click enter.

So it tells me these sources.

So I'm going to import these sources that has found for me.

Thank you very much.

And then I'm going to say help me design a study plan so I can learn to build my productivity app.

Wonderful!

Okay, so it tells me that this is a four-week study plan and week one, week two, week three, week four.

Excellent!

This is standing on the shoulder of giants.

I've done this for so many other things I want to learn and projects.

For example, here's the one that I'm learning electronics with.

Still learning electronics with, by the way.

Without this method, this would have taken me such a long time just browsing through Reddit

and looking at other people's study plans, reading books, things like that.

Such a time saver.

But this is not good enough yet.

We're not just gonna follow the study plan right now because first I want to really customize it just for me.

So moving on to part two, custom just for you.

Now this is my AI coding study plan designed just for me.

This is the one for building my hardware projects.

I'm using the ESP32 and here's the one for learning gardening.

All custom just for me and this is how I do it.

So first I go to Claude.

You should use whatever chatbot that you use the most that knows the best about you.

In my case, that would be Claude right now.

And I'm going to copy this study plan that it gave me.

And I'm going to say, help me design a custom study plan with lessons suitable for me based on the research below on how to learn

by coding, agentic engineering.

I want to eventually build a productivity desktop app that can track what I'm working on, save it and allow me to query,

give me insights and tips on how to improve my productivity, aka cope with ADHD basically.

For example, alert me, hey you're getting distracted

or hey it's time to take a break and I have the proposal from notebook column here, press enter.

Cool, so let's see.

So it says here, given your background, CS, the Griority, running Cloud Code Pipeline Hermes Agent Daily.

The proposed plan of overcoming CL intimidation framework doesn't actually fit.

Okay, to be fair, yes, this is true.

I do have extensive experience in AI coding already, and I do actually know how to make this app.

So you know what?

That's fair, Cloud.

But my point is, it's going to adapt the study plan to you specifically.

So let's see what it's telling me here.

Okay, so instead, it's saying that I should scaffold and de-risk activity capture Tari, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Shell, running, blah, blah, blah, and then data model persistence and dashboard UI.

Instead, it's a local element query, agentic engineering, rigor, and packaging.

Okay, so this is what it's telling me that I should do, and I also really like how it tells me what is considered winning.

Okay, great.

So this is going to be the actual new plan.

The plan that is custom towards me.

Might want to make a few tweaks over here, but honestly, it captures me pretty well.

It also even says that I've built the study plan based upon your existing infrastructure, like the fact that you have your Mac Studio, and then you also have Hermes agent and like other things going on as well.

So cool we now have a study plan.

You can also ask it cool can you make the study plan into a fun interactive html file

that I can check off as I progress.

Nice so it made this little like cute little interactive html file that you can actually check off.

So let's open it full screen and and yeah that's a lot more fun.

So what I like to do these days, let me actually show my full screen, is I like to use this little desktop app

that I actually vibe coded where I can just like copy paste

and then I can follow the study plan by like clicking it.

I can like click stuff off and then it also gets stored into my obsidian vault.

So you can see that it literally matches over here.

This is a great way for me to actually track like when I'm doing things and the progress that I'm making.

This is one of the little desktop apps that I have vibe coded for myself, which I will explain a little bit more in just the next section.

But basically just to finish off this customization section, you get like a custom study plan made for you.

And I just work through it and check stuff off.

And I like to chat on my chatbot as I'm working through each part of the study plan.

So I would be like asking it questions.

How do I set this up?

What do you mean by this?

And then I kind of just like work interactively in order to work through it.

I absolutely love it.

It's a very like custom interactive experience.

Little tip here is that choose which models and which chatbot

that you want to use carefully to progress through your study plan.

100

If it's something that I want to keep private, I would use a local model, a local chatbot.

101

If it's a study plan that involves a lot of visuals and videos and pictures, like when I'm building electronics, for example, I want to make sure that things I'm pinning things in the right parts of the board, I would use ChatGPT.

102

And if it's something that requires big context window, I would use Gemini.

103

And if it's something that I just want to be like very straightforward, get through it, I would use Clot.

104

I'm going to put on screen my suggestions for what kind of chatbot

105

or model you want to be using for what kind of study plan and task that you're doing.

106

You can take a screenshot of that

107

or you can check out the free guide which I'll link in the description below which has this information as well.

108

When people say they want to work with AI agents but they are scared because the learning curve feels too steep, I go like what?

109

Have you heard about Manus?

110

Like I just built a fully custom CRM for my own Gmail

111

and Notion data with a single prompt and it even went

112

and researched companies behind wild platforms like Crunchbase and LinkedIn on its own

113

and that's just one example of what it can do.

114

You see, Madness launched their Madness browser operator, which turns your existing browser into an AI agent that can navigate the web, click through pages, and execute multi-steps all on its own.

115

Setup is very simple.

116

All you got to do is install the Chrome extension, toggle on the My Browser connector inside Madness, and authorize it.

117

And Madness will always ask for your permission before using the browser, so you stay in control.

118

Okay, so let me show you a real problem that I have.

119

I run my company called Lonely Octopus, and sponsorship and partnership inquiries come in every day from all different places.

120

Just to be clear, I'm very, very grateful of this.

121

Thank you so much.

122

But the problem is that they're all over the place.

123

Some are buried in Gmail, some are in Notion.

124

I don't have a clear picture of what deals I have and what stage that they're in.

125

So I asked Madness to build me one from scratch off my actual data.

126

I asked it to go through my Gmail, find every sponsorship and partnership conversation from the last 90 days, cross-reference my Notion, and build me a custom CRM web app that has pipeline stages,

127

deal values, next actions, and flag anything I haven't replied in five days.

128

But here's where it I also told it, for every company, research them.

129

Madness opens my browser and asks my permission first, then goes on Crunchbase and posts their info and visits their LinkedIn to grab their role and company size.

130

It's doing the hour of due diligence that I do on every inquiry for every deal, all in parallel.

131

Then it comes back with this, an actual working web app, my entire sponsorship pipeline in one board.

132

Of course, after this initial screening, I still actually have to go test

133

and use the product for weeks before deciding if I like it enough to work with them.

134

But this initial stage went from chaos across two different apps and my brain to a system with just a prompt.

135

So if you have workflows to automate or agentic task, you can try out Manus for free.

136

Link is in the description.

137

Thank you so much Manus for sponsoring this portion of the video.

138

Now back to the video.

139

And with that, let's move on to part three, the productivity system, my desktop widgets.

140

So these two little guys are responsible for me actually doing what's on my study plan

141

because what point is having a study plan if you don't actually do it right?

142

I've already showed you this little typewriter.

143

I insert my study plan and it keeps track of it.

144

It saves it into my obsidian and this little avocado is a pomodoro app.

145

So for example I could just say like you know one minute and we call the task film demo.

146

Click start and it would just be a pomodoro timer.

147

and when it's done it does that thank you

148

and i can also log it which also goes to my obsidian

149

and would add on a little log for what i've done

150

and that is my accountability system so

151

that i actually do the things it works really great for me you obviously don't need to do this

152

but if you like i can also give you the prompts in the free guide

153

that i have in the description and you'll become unstoppable

154

but wait before i end this video i want to add a final bonus section of this workflow

155

which is the memory system.

156

Here's my Obsidian my memory system.

157

Here I use it to track my Pomodoros and also the different study plans that I'm working on.

158

As you saw my little desktop apps are able to automatically track all of this into my Obsidian

159

so I have a record of how I'm working.

160

I also am able to put different resources and things that I learned along the way into Obsidian as well.

161

And a tip here is that you can also use a local AI agent like Hermes, Cloud Cowork, open claw and it can pull information from these logs

162

so it's able to graph it for you give you suggestions

163

and tips for productivity for example you can also ask you

164

like what was i doing two weeks ago you know at this time don't know about you

165

but i most certainly wouldn't know that before i set up the system

166

so there you have it this is my full workflow

167

that allows me to learn things like 10 times faster than

168

i normally would be able to i hope this is also

169

useful for you some inspo perhaps let me know in the comments what you think about this

170

and also what's your current learning system i am always interested in learning how to learn better

171

and i'll see you guys in next video or live stream.

Prime impressioni: perché questo video è ottimo per esercitarti

Questo video è un'ottima risorsa per chi vuole migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la fluidità. La lingua usata da Tina è colloquiale, ma chiara, con una velocità ragionevole che la rende perfetta per il shadowing in inglese. Le frasi sono concise, ma ricche di espressioni utili (come "standing on the shoulder of giants") che si possono integrare nel proprio vocabolario. Inoltre, la struttura logica del discorso (passaggi chiari, esempi concreti) aiuta a seguire il flusso e a imitare la prosodia naturale.

Scomponiamo il discorso: 3 frasi che suonano "naturali"

"In the world that we live in, the ability to learn things fast is the ultimate skill." La struttura "In the world that we live in" è un modo comune per iniziare un discorso, più colloquiale di "In the world we live in". L'uso di "ultimate skill" (abilità fondamentale) è un'espressione potente ma semplice, tipica del linguaggio quotidiano.
"So today in this video, I want to show you this workflow that I use because, well, learning things is literally my job and also a hobby." "Well" qui serve a "smussare" il discorso, rendendolo più umano. "Literally my job" (letteralmente il mio lavoro) è un modo informale per sottolineare la serietà, molto usato nelle conversazioni.
"Without this method, this would have taken me such a long time just browsing through Reddit and looking at other people's study plans." "Such a long time" (tanto tempo) è più enfatico di "a long time", e "browsing through Reddit" (navigare su Reddit) è un'espressione pratica che riflette il contesto moderno, rendendo il discorso realistico.

Una routine di pratica: il "repeat-and-record" per il shadow speak

Ecco come usare il video per esercitarti con il shadowing: 1. Ascolta un frammento di 5-10 secondi (es. la parte su "standing on the shoulder of giants"). 2. Ripeti immediatamente dopo, imitando l'intonazione, la velocità e la pronuncia di Tina. 3. Registrati mentre ripeti. 4. Confronta la tua registrazione con il video: nota le differenze nella prosodia o nelle parole sbagliate. Ripeti questo ciclo per 10 minuti al giorno, concentrandoti su frasi che ti sembrano difficili. Questo metodo aiuterà a rafforzare la memoria muscolare per la lingua inglese e a rendere il tuo discorso più naturale. Ricorda: la chiave è la costanza, non la quantità! Con il tempo, noterai che la miglioramento della pronuncia inglese e la fluidità arriveranno da sole.

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	has already learned · I've heard · has found
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa	is sponsored · is called · be focused

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.
