Pratica di Shadowing: Learn English with WEDNESDAY — Fighting Bianca 🤺 - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Let's see if you bleed in black and white.

Your face finally got that splash of color.

It's so desperately needed.

Today, I have an exciting lesson for you with Netflix's Wednesday.

In the scene we'll watch, she meets the most popular girl in school, Bianca, and challenges her to a fight, fencing.

That's this sport like sword fighting.

You'll be learning tons of new words in this lesson, like bleed and splash that we just saw.

and to actually practice speaking the new words

that you're learning with people from all around the world for

free you can join our new speaking club on the real life app

so just click the link down in the description below to get started

and i'll also be telling you more about

that in just a little bit now let's

head over to fencing practice coach coach

he tricked me it was a clean strike rowan maybe

if you wind less than practice more you wouldn't suck seriously coach

when am i gonna get some real competition anyone else want

challenge me i do oh you must be the psychopath they let in

and you must be the self -appointed queen bee interesting thing about bees pull out their stingers and they drop dead

rowan doesn't need you to come to his defense he's not helpless he's lazy are we doing this or not

so at the start we saw bianca fencing against another student

named rowan coach coach she tricked me it was a clean

strike rowan to trip someone means to make them stumble

or fall usually by catching their foot

but the coach isn't buying it he says it was a

clean strike meaning a fair legal hit done properly within the rules.

What do you think?

Did Bianca cheat?

Well next we see that Bianca isn't a very humble winner.

To whine means to complain in an annoying high -pitched way, kind of like a small child would.

Like in this example from the Addams Family.

It's not gonna be easy.

There are people everywhere.

You can do it if you just stop whining.

Nobody likes that.

Diana, you gonna stop that whining and if something

or someone sucks it means it's just really bad listen to

this i got a stack of user complaints like a mile high look i know it sucks

but the ip recognition is rock hard okay

so don't even worry about it but another sonic youth album

and it sucks it's just noise so

which of these is the best example of whining i refuse to accept defeat but it's not fair.

I always lose.

I'll get you next time.

Right, it's B.

Moving on.

Oh, you must be the psychopath they let in.

And you must be the self -appointed queen B.

So Wednesday is not having Bianca's insults

if you appoint someone you're officially giving them a role

or position so self -appointed means that someone gave themselves a title

or authority that nobody else actually gave them my name is dawada

and as team captain appointed team captain i'm not acknowledging that remark

and a queen bee is a slang term for the most popular most powerful girl in a school

or social group you know the one everyone either wants to be

or wants to be friends with think regina george in mean girls this fame

or popularity usually comes with power

and influence just like the power a real queen bee has over her workers

so wednesday is saying bianca just decided all on her own

that she's the top girl here nobody voted for

that interesting thing about bees pull out their stingers

and they drop dead and this is a brilliant play on words from wednesday

and kind of a threat so this is the beast stinger

and drop dead means to die suddenly

and immediately actually it's just like olivia rodrigo's new song

that we recently made a reel to drop dead literally means to die suddenly

but we can use it as an exaggeration to express a big emotion

when the person you really like asks you on a date you feel like you might drop dead.

When Messi scores a goal in the final minute of a game, many fans drop dead.

And for more quick lessons like this, be sure to follow us on Instagram.

Rowan doesn't need you to come to his defense.

He's not helpless, he's lazy.

If someone is helpless, it means they can't do anything to protect or help themselves.

By the way, the suffix less means without.

So helpless means without help or unable to help oneself.

You'll see this pattern everywhere.

Careless without care.

hopeless without hope fearless without fear so Bianca's saying Rowan can help himself

but he's too lazy to try ouch now the first time

I moved to another country to Germany I felt pretty helpless see I've been studying German for three years

but no one could understand me when I spoke that's

because I'd had plenty of opportunities to study German

but not to speak it but with time

and patience I eventually became fluent but that wasn't

because I studying more it was much simpler than

that i finally had people to speak with

and a reason to speak every day and honestly

if you know a lot of english

but you don't feel natural speaking it that's probably what's missing for you too

so we built a place for exactly

that inside the real life app a place where you don't

just learn english you live it it's called the real life

speaking club every single day you get a new fascinating topic

that you can discuss with people from all around the world in real conversations

and become more fluent this really is the best way to go from intermediate learner to advanced english speaker

and if you're nervous about speaking you can practice the questions with your ai coach first

and then jump into your first conversation it's free so start your adventure right now with a link in the description.

All right now let's watch Wednesday and Bianca's actual fight.

We heard en garde at the very start of the fight, which is borrowed straight from French.

100

It's said right before a fencing match starts, telling both opponents to get into position and get ready to fight.

101

All right, so, so far, Wednesday and Bianca are pretty evenly matched.

102

means they're roughly equal in skill

103

so neither one has a clear advantage think of france

104

and argentina in the 2022 world cup they were pretty evenly matched now let's continue watching the

105

that first point was clearly beginner's luck let's finish

106

this for the final point i would to invoke a military challenge no masks no tips winner draws first blood

107

so bianca says that wednesday had beginner's luck that first point was clearly beginner's luck

108

this is when someone who's totally new at something succeeds purely by chance not skill Like when your friend, who's never played darts in their life,

109

throws one dart and hits a bullseye.

110

That's beginner's luck.

111

Listen to these ways natives use it.

112

I want to do it again.

113

Going again.

114

Everybody's a winner.

115

Win a prize.

116

Then we hear Wednesday wants to up the stakes or increase the challenge.

117

For the final point, I would like to invoke a military challenge.

118

To invoke means to formally bring something up or call upon a rule, tradition, or power like here in Pirates of the Caribbean.

119

I invoke the rite of parley.

120

According to the code of the brethren set down by the pirates Morgan and Bartholomew, you have to take me to your captain.

121

Let's hear exactly what a military challenge is in fencing.

122

No masks, no tips.

123

Winner draws first blood.

124

so this is a fencing mask fencing swords have a soft rounded tip

125

that keeps it from actually hurting anyone

126

or in another context this is the tip of a pencil sure annoying

127

when those break so by removing masks

128

and tips this fight just got a whole lot more dangerous

129

that's why the winner is the first to draw blood

130

that means to actually cause bleeding but actually sometimes when you go to the hospital, they need to draw blood with a needle for tests.

131

Alright, and finally, we can learn with the two insults Bianca used in that clip where she wins.

132

Let's see if you bleed in black and white.

133

To bleed simply means to lose blood, usually from a cut or an injury.

134

Bianca's being sarcastic since Wednesday famously only wears black and white.

135

And then when Bianca wins, she throws this at Wednesday.

136

Your face finally got that splash of color.

137

It's so desperately needed.

138

A splash of something is just a small, unexpected amount of it, usually a color or a flavor.

139

You'll hear this a lot with drinks, like a splash of milk in my coffee.

140

It's just begging for a splash of color.

141

Cappuccino with an extra splash of espresso, please.

142

Again, it's a mean joke.

143

Bianca's saying that a bit of red makes Wednesday look better.

144

So in the end, Bianca comes out on top, meaning she wins.

145

We could say Spain came out on top in the World Cup this year.

146

However, there's a great lesson here about not judging a book by its cover.

147

That is, not being tricked by your first impression of something, practicing being non -judgmental.

148

Wednesday and Bianca both start out thinking they know who the other is.

149

However, they eventually realize they have a lot in common.

150

They both deal with challenges with their parents, and eventually they band together to defeat the villain, Joseph Crackstone, at the end of season one

151

and become friends by the way a great way to increase your non -judgmentalism

152

which really is an essential skill in a globalized world is

153

by speaking with people from all around the world in the real life speaking club

154

that I mentioned earlier remember

155

that you can join for free with the link down in

156

the description I hope you had fun learning with Wednesday

157

and Bianca but we're not done yet now comes the most important part of the lesson you'll test everything

158

that you learned by But watching the scenes again, this time without subtitles and answering some quiz questions.

159

Let's do this.

160

Coach, coach, you tricked me.

161

It was a clean strike Rowan.

162

Maybe if you whined less and practiced more, you wouldn't suck.

163

If you whine, you are complaining, winning a competition, losing blood.

164

Seriously, coach, when am I going to get some real competition?

165

Anyone else want to challenge me?

166

I do.

167

Oh, you must be the psychopath they let in.

168

And you must be the self -appointed queen bee.

169

What does self -appointed mean?

170

Chosen and voted in by others?

171

Someone who gave themselves a title?

172

Someone who was appointed by king or queen?

173

Interesting thing about bees.

174

Pull out their stingers and they drop dead.

175

Rowan doesn't need you to come to his defense.

176

He's not helpless.

177

He's lazy.

178

How else can you call someone courageous, using the less suffix?

179

Fearless.

180

Are we doing this or not?

181

Anger!

182

Point to Wednesday.

183

The score is even.

184

If two competitors are evenly matched, it means one is clearly much better than the other, they are roughly equal in skill, they refuse to compete against each other.

185

What do you call it if someone new at something does well?

186

Beginner's luck?

187

Beginner's chance?

188

Beginner's fortune?

189

That first point was clearly beginner's luck.

190

Let's finish this.

191

For the final point, I would like to invoke a military challenge.

192

No masks, no tips.

193

Winner draws first blood It's your decision,

194

Bianca Let's see if you bleed in black and white

195

your face finally got that splash of color it's so desperately needed

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.
