23
They are still.
24
Alright, let's go. for my free coffee.
25
So I'm here getting my hair cut and we would say to get a haircut not to cut your hair.
26
If you say I'm going to cut my hair it means that you're going to cut it yourself.
27
When you go to a barber shop, when you go to a hairdresser's you say I'm going to get a haircut or I'm going to have a haircut.
28
Soon in the future I will have a haircut.

So right now I am sitting in the barber chair.

Alright, leaving the barbershop and walking out into the busy, hot Vietnam streets.
44
I am in the city of Da Nang.
45
I've just spotted a fruit market over there so I'm gonna go grab some fruits.
46
I'm just waiting for a safe moment to cross the road.
47
In Vietnam when crossing a road you have to be opportunistic.
48
What does that mean?
49
It means to take an opportunity when it arrives just like now I'm gonna be opportunistic.
50
It could be borderline dangerous.
51
You never know what's coming in Vietnam but we made it.

We got some avocados looking very green and beautiful.

The oranges, so these are clementines or tangerines.
56
Here we have guava in the packets.
57
It's in a plastic packaging.
58
These are I believe bell fruits.

Inside the flesh is white.
69
Over here, inside the flesh of these bad boys is red.
70
The red dragon fruits and the white dragon fruits.
71
On the outside the skin looks kind of the same, but I've lived in Vietnam long enough to know my red dragon fruit from my white dragon fruit.
72
Everything looks beautiful.
73
It all looks very colourful.
74
Very colourful.
75
You could say a rainbow of colours.

78
I'm testing these.
79
They're very firm, very hard.
80
They're not yet ripe.
81
When a fruit is ripe, it means it's soft, it's fresh, ready to eat.
82
One of the two one one one one one one one one one Feeling good?
83
Let's move.
84

90
Every single detail is important to him.

Time to hop back on my motorbike.
94
We're going to go to a new location.
95
So we're going on a little walk under the bridge here.
96
I'm going to walk through the bridge.
97
So all this area is shaded.
98
It's protected from the sun.
99
And I don't know if you can hear that, but when I speak like this,
100
the sound bounces back off the walls.
101
Do you know what that's called?
102
that is called an echo echo echo echo echo let's take a walk through the gate
103
and up the stairs right now i am walking up the
104
stairs i was just talking past continuous i was talking to you about the echoes
105
and now i'm walking present continuous i am walking up the stairs On either side of me,
106
on either side, there is loud traffic.
107
Look at that.
108
It's a cool yellow van.
109
That's a yellow van.
110
And there was a man smoking a cigarette and he was very curious about what I was doing.
111
What the hell is that white man doing in 40 degree heat?
112
Well, good question.
113
I have no idea.
114
Hey guys, what would be really useful for you guys when watching these videos?
115
When you hear new vocabulary, when you hear me speak something that you have not heard before,
116
maybe it will be a skyscraper, then it would be great if you could put that in your own sentence, or if you could shadow me.
117
So basically when you hear me speak a new word that you have not heard before, shadow me.
118
Practice speaking that word.
119
Then not only are you learning the new word in context, but you're also producing it in context.
120
And this is basically going to boost the efficiency of these videos
121
if you can do your part and put a little bit of effort in in producing the language
122
as well as receiving it as well as listening to it and watching these videos.
123
I'm showing you guys the beautiful Da Nang River.
124
This is called the Han River.
125
There is the Dragon Bridge.
126
I'm very lucky to live in Da Nang, Vietnam.
127
If you're watching this and you're from Da Nang, then let me know in the comments.
128
I would love to know where you guys are from.
129
Right now, I'm going to head back to my bike, go home and take a shower before my English class.
130

Perché esercitarsi a parlare con questo video?

Questo video offre un'opportunità unica per migliorare la pratica di conversazione in inglese in un contesto reale e coinvolgente. Seguendo l’esperienza di un taglio di capelli in Vietnam, gli studenti hanno l'occasione di ascoltare un linguaggio che si usa frequentemente nella vita di tutti i giorni. Imparare espressioni legate a situazioni pratiche, come andare dal barbiere, aiuta a rendere l’apprendimento più interessante e rilevante. Utilizzando il metodo dello shadow speak, gli studenti possono replicare direttamente ciò che ascoltano, migliorando così la loro fluidità e comprensione.

Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto

Analizziamo alcune delle strutture grammaticali e delle espressioni chiave utilizzate nel video:

  • "I'm going to get a haircut": Questa espressione è fondamentale. La forma “to get” viene usata frequentemente per indicare che si sta per ricevere un servizio, a differenza di “to cut” che implica un’azione personale.
  • "I am putting on my helmet": L'uso del presente continuo qui è utile per descrivere azioni in corso e aiuta a vedere come si descrivono le attività quotidiane in inglese.
  • "There is the sink and we have all the different tools": L’uso di “there is” e “we have” è comune per presentare oggetti e informazioni in modo chiaro e diretto.
  • "It could be borderline dangerous": Questa espressione introduce un concetto di rischio, importante per comprendere sfumature nel linguaggio descrittivo, utile in varie conversazioni.

Trappole comuni per la pronuncia

All'interno del dialogo, ci sono delle parole e frasi che possono risultare difficili da pronunciare correttamente. Eccone alcune che potresti trovare impegnative:

  • "barbershop": presta attenzione alla pronuncia della seconda sillaba, che è spesso accentuata nella parlata veloce.
  • "helmet": la "h" iniziale deve essere pronunciata con attenzione; è facile ometterla.
  • "opportunistic": questa parola può risultare complicata, specialmente nel modo in cui le sillabe si collegano tra loro; la pratica attraverso lo shadowing site può aiutarti a migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese.
  • "dangerous": assicurati di pronunciare chiaramente la "d" iniziale e la "g" centrale, per evitare confusione con parole simili.

Incorporando la pratica di shadow speak con queste frasi e parole, potrai migliorare la tua pronuncia ed acquisire maggiore sicurezza nell'uso dell'inglese quotidiano.

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.
