Do you want to learn English the natural way?

Well in this video you're going to learn English with the comprehensible input method.

All you need to do is just watch, listen and you will learn new English vocabulary.

Today I'm in the county of Cornwall in the southwest of England

and I'm at place called st michael's mount so

that there is st michael's mount and

that is where i'm going to visit today for this video i'm going to turn off the subtitles

so try to use your ear to listen

and understand without subtitles actually as always

if you do want subtitles then just click the button down here and you can get a YouTube subtitles.

Anyway let's go and take a look at St Michael's Mountain.

So you can see all these people are walking along the path to go

and get to st michael's mount right all of these people

they are all walking towards st michael's mount over there the

interesting thing about st michael's mount is actually you can only

go across this path at certain times of the day

and actually it depends on the tides yes

so during high tide at high tide the sea will will

cover this path the path will be underwater during high tide

right now it's low tide you see the sea is is really far out you see

so it's low tide right now and

so at the moment you can take this path

and you can walk over to St Michael's Mount but you can only do this at low tide.

During high tide it's not possible because the path is covered with water.

The path is underwater during high tide so you can only go out there during low tide like right now.

So I think I have about three hours to go over there

and come back because in about three hours the tide will come in the tide will come in

and the water will cover the path right

so i will have to make this video quickly

because i've only got three hours before the tide comes in

so let's go i need to go

and check out some michael's mount quickly by the way you

can see down here there's all this moss around here you see all this green moss down here

so all of this area is covered in this uh in this green moss here all over

and over there there's also some seaweed i can see down there all over this area

that there's seaweed more seaweed seaweed all over this place so so lots of moss and seaweed all over here

so cornwall is actually a really popular holiday destination not only for brits

but also for people from other countries as well as i've

been walking around here i've heard a lot of german being spoken actually

so i guess cornwall apparently it's pretty common with german people

cornwall is a good place to go on holiday for brits

because when you come to cornwall you don't have to worry about passports you don't have to worry about airports

or visas it's easy you just drive down here right you just drive down to cornwall

or you can even take the train

in fact i actually took the train to come down to cornwall it took about five

and a half hours six hours something like that

but this is why cornwall is such a good place to go on holiday

because it's like it's not too difficult to come here it's everything is in english you don't need another language or anything

and it's a good place a cheaper place for families to

come on holiday you don't have to spend a lot of money right

and that's why it's um it's a more popular place to

come on holiday the other thing with Cornwall that's pretty good is

that you kind of feel quite cut off from the rest of the world here

because Cornwall is right on the end like right on the southwest of the country

and it's actually quite a long way from anything else like

you are miles away from London you are miles away really

from any major city right there are no major cities around here the closest city is probably Plymouth

and even Plymouth is not a really big city

so you get the feeling down here

that you're really cut off from the rest of the world it's quite nice although I will say

that nowadays it's pretty touristy as you can see sort of

behind me right there are tourists like it's it's it's jam -packed with tourists now I used to come here

when I was younger when I was a kid

and it was less touristy then

so although you do get the feeling like you're cut off

from the rest of the world it's also not quite as much as it used to be

because actually there are loads of people here now

and lots of tourists but yeah Cornwall is nice I would say

if you live in the UK

if you are somebody who's living here you may want to

consider Cornwall as a place for your next holiday it's pretty

nice pretty relaxing you know it's pretty chill it's pretty chill it's a pretty chill place Cornwall I would say

so i'm just chilling here on some rocks and before i go and climb st michael's mount

i've got a packed lunch here so i've got a sandwich

and a packet of crisps so a sandwich

and a packet of crisps this is what we call a packed lunch right

so instead of going and buying something instead of going to a touristy shop

and buying lunch for six pounds seven pounds you know

and it will cost a lot because this is a touristy area

i decided to bring a pack lunch instead so

if you want to save money it's always good to bring a pack lunch right

so i've got in here a ham and ham and cheese sandwich

and the ham and cheese sandwich is wrapped it's wrapped in tin foil right

so we got a sandwich and it's wrapped in tin foil

so let me just take off the tin foil

and here is my sandwich right here

so I wrapped it in tin foil right to keep it fresh I guess

and it's baguette so this is a baguette here and it's a ham and cheese baguette ham and cheese sandwich

wrapped in tin foil pretty good for a pack lunch okay i have just finished eating my pack lunch

so now it's time to cross over the path over the causeway as it's called and go to St. Michael's Mount.

A causeway is basically a path that will go underwater during high tide.

That kind of path has a special name.

It's called a causeway.

So now I'm going to walk across the causeway to St. Michael's Mount.

You can see that it's very rocky on either side of the causeway see it's very rocky on that side

but also very rocky on the other side

so it's it's rocky on either side

and you can see down here there's some seaweed here see

so lots of seaweed and also a lot of moss see see this this is moss see

100

so seaweed and moss all over this rocky area

101

okay i have made it to the island st michael's mount

102

so we have crossed the causeway

103

and here we are now i have two tokens here see i've got a red token

104

and i've got a white token here

105

so i've got two tokens the red token gives me access to the castle up here

106

and the white token here gives me access to the garden normally the tickets would be about 20 pounds

107

or 30 pounds but i have a little secret i've got one of these cards

108

so this is a national trust see that this is a national trust card

109

so this gets me into all national trust places for free right all for free

110

so i didn't have to pay anything to come here today

111

there are national trust sites all over the country up

112

and down the country there are different national trust sites

113

and you can get one of these cards

114

and this will allow you to get into all of the

115

sites for free actually the truth is this is not actually my card

116

this is the card of a family member but don't tell anyone about

117

that let's pretend this is my card okay

118

so this is not actually my card so yeah

119

if you have a national trust card you can get into all these places for free

120

so it's a pretty good thing to have Are you all right?

121

So that's the way it's made of the wheels now?

122

Gathering.

123

Gathering.

124

we're at the top of the castle on st michael's mount

125

i think it's been built from a period of like from 1100 to about 1900

126

so it was built in a slow process the local legend is

127

that a giant lives at the top of Michael's Mount in this castle

128

so that's the local legend I don't know if it's true

129

but maybe it is I don't know

130

but yes there's a lot of tourists here today it is jam -packed with tourists actually

131

so I'm gonna keep looking around the castle a little bit and then I'll head back across the causeway, across the sea again.

132

You can see that now you don't even need to use the path because the tide has gone out even more

133

that I can just walk on the sand over here because look at the tide, the tide has gone right out.

134

so you don't even need this path anymore everybody is using the path

135

but you don't need to use it

136

because the tide has come out the tide has come way out

137

and so i can just walk on the sand

138

when i came into the

139

when i came across the path the first time there was water on both sites

140

and you needed to use the path

141

but now the tide has gone out even more

142

so I can just use the sand I'm just going to walk on the sand now you can see

143

that you need to watch your step you need to watch your step

144

because it's rocky it's a rocky ground here

145

so you need to watch your step to make sure

146

that you you don't trip over

147

or twist your ankle i don't want to twist my ankle on these rocks

148

so i'm just gonna i'm gonna watch my step here look

149

some more seaweed i just stood on some more seaweed look at that

150

okay guys

151

so just before we end today's video here at st michael's

152

mount i just wanted to talk a little bit about the

153

benefits of listening to English without subtitles okay I believe that

154

if you're learning English

155

and you want to learn with the comprehensible input method you should a significant amount of your time listening,

156

listening without subtitles, okay?

157

You see, when you listen to English with subtitles turned on, it's very good.

158

You learn a lot.

159

You can learn a lot of vocabulary this way.

160

There's only one small problem and

161

that is your brain is still looking at the spelling of the words that you're listening to.

162

Now, the good thing is you can also hear the word

163

while the person is speaking it

164

but you also see the spelling down where the subtitles are

165

and your brain in many cases will still try to interpret the letters in the word

166

and decide how to pronounce the word

167

so without realizing it your brain can kind of try to

168

interpret the way the word is spelt into how it's pronounced right

169

when you listen to english with no subtitles all you're getting

170

is sounds there are no letters there's no writing it's just sounds

171

and when you only have sounds to listen to you are more likely to actually understand

172

and copy eventually copy the correct pronunciation the correct sounds right without being misled by the letters

173

that you see when you're using subtitles it's not like

174

if you have the subtitles turned on you get nothing from the video no

175

if you're using subtitles you still learn a lot by watching comprehensible input okay I'm just saying

176

that you should spend a significant amount of your time listening to comprehensible input without subtitles

177

because that allows your brain to focus only on the actual sounds

178

that native speakers are using

179

and not getting your brain will not get misled by the spelling of words when it comes to english pronunciation

180

not getting misled by the spelling of words is half the

181

battle right that's like half the battle yes you can still have problems with the pronunciation of certain sounds

182

because you can't get your teeth and your lips in the right place

183

but honestly half the battle with english pronunciation is

184

that you just don't get misled by the spelling and

185

that you focus on the actual sounds that native speakers are using okay

186

when you do listen to comprehensible input without subtitles you may find

187

that you need to reduce the level a little bit

188

if you're normally listening to b2 upper intermediate videos with subtitles you may find

189

that you may have to bring down the level to be one intermediate to be able to understand without subtitles

190

but you want to get into the habit of listening without subtitles firstly because because of what I said about pronunciation

191

but also for your listening skills as well because in the real world

192

if you speak English to somebody or a native speaker

193

or anybody in the real world what you get is you

194

just you have to look at their face like this

195

and you have to understand the words

196

that are coming out of their mouth you just have to look at their face

197

and understand there are no subtitles in the real world

198

so it's a good thing to actually get used to listening

199

to english without subtitles it will help you more in the real world

200

when you're having a real conversation right

201

because you will be familiar with actually listening to the sounds

202

that you hear and then recognizing

203

which words people are using now of course there are some videos on english sponge that include subtitles

204

that's okay like i said you can still learn a lot with subtitles you can still learn lots okay

205

but on english sponge .com we have more than 700 videos comprehensible input videos at each level

206

and almost none of them have subtitles probably only five percent

207

or three percent of our videos have any subtitles

208

so yeah on english

209

if you prefer to listen without subtitles like this on english

210

sponge .com we have more than 700 videos without them anyway

211

guys i hope you've enjoyed watching me take a look around

212

st michael's mount today here is a playlist of me traveling around

213

the uk and teaching english at the same time

214

but thank you for watching guys and i will see you in the next video

Contesto e sfondo

Il video ci porta nella Cornovaglia, una regione del sud-ovest dell'Inghilterra, e ci guida nella visita a St Michael's Mount, un luogo unico accessibile solo a mare basso. Il parlante usa un inglese britannico quotidiano, semplice e ricco di espressioni reali, perfetto per chi vuole imparare la lingua nel contesto naturale. La Cornovaglia è una meta turistica popolare tra i britannici e gli stranieri, e il video ci mostra come la vita quotidiana lì si intreccia con la lingua, offrendo un input comprensibile per i livelli B1.

Top 5 frasi per la comunicazione giornaliera

"It depends on the tides": "Dipende dalle maree". Una frase utile per spiegare situazioni che variano in base a fattori esterni.
"The path is underwater": "Il sentiero è sott'acqua". Perfetta per descrivere luoghi o condizioni ambientali.
"I guess": "Immagino". Una parola che softena le affermazioni, tipica del parlato informale.
"You don't have to worry about": "Non devi preoccuparti di". Ideale per dare consigli o descrivere situazioni senza stress.
"It's a cheaper place for families": "È un luogo più economico per le famiglie". Utile per parlare di viaggi o spese quotidiane.

Guida passo passo per lo shadowing

Lo shadowing è una tecnica efficace per migliorare la pronuncia e l'intonazione. Ecco come usarlo con questo video:

Ascolta il video una volta senza sottotitoli: Concentrati su quello che capisci, notando il ritmo e le pause.
Ripeti frasi brevi immediatamente dopo il parlante: Usa lo "shadow speech" per imitare la sua pronuncia e l'intonazione. Inizia con frasi semplici come "Let's go" o "It's low tide".
Focus sulle espressioni idiomatiche: Frasi come "the tide will come in" sono chiave per la pratica di conversazione in inglese. Ripetile più volte finché non le senti naturali.
Usa lo shadowing site per esercitarti: Se hai difficoltà, pausa il video e ripeti le parti più complesse. Lo shadowing in inglese richiede pazienza, ma con la pratica diventerà più semplice.
Confronta il tuo audio con il video: Nota le differenze e correggi la tua pronuncia. Questo aiuterà a rafforzare la tua capacità di parlare in modo fluido.

Questo video è perfetto per chi vuole combinare l'apprendimento con la scoperta di un luogo unico. Con lo shadowing e la pratica costante, le frasi del quotidiano diventeranno parte della tua lingua inglese!

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Struttura	Nel video
“Used to” used to + verbo — un’abitudine o uno stato passato che non è più vero	used to come · used to be
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso	i've heard · have just finished · have made
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa	is covered · being spoken · is wrapped
Possibilità con “might / may” might/may + verbo — qualcosa di possibile ma non certo	may want · may find · may have

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.
