Pratica di Shadowing: Listening + Speaking: The 2 pieces you're Missing - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
This is a jigsaw piece.
2
These are jigsaw pieces.
3
And I think that learning English is like doing a jigsaw puzzle.
4
In school, we learn to solve lots of English puzzles like vocab, grammar and reading.
5
but somehow, not listening and speaking.
6
In this video, I'm looking for these two secret pieces that will make the complex puzzle of learning English simple.
7
Guys, I have just made this super delicious,
8
highly nutritious, brain -boosting smoothie for my brekkie.
9
And brekkie is a British term for breakfast.
10
There's about a million of my five a day in this bowl.
11
Now before I talk to you about the listening puzzle piece,
12
I want to share a little idea in a book that I've been reading recently which is this book here
13
How to Eat by Thich Nhat Hanh.
14
A grain of rice contains the universe.
15
When we look at a grain of rice one second of mindfulness
16
and concentration allows us to see that this grain contains the whole world.
17
It's a beautiful book by a beautiful man now let's pay attention to the ingredients in this smoothie bowl
18
so we can use it as an opportunity to learn some new english
19
and discover the story behind these ingredients first we have blueberries and spinach
20
they start their humble journey on the farm where the farmer plants them them,
21
waters them, and harvests them.
22
Then they meet with a truck driver who drives them straight to the farmer's market.
23
Blueberries and spinach both made the same trip into this bowl.
24
But what about the yogurt?
25
This yogurt contains sunlight inside it.
26
The sun's energy grows the grass.
27
The grass feeds the cow and the cow creates milk.
28
Someone milked her and they let that milk sit and ferment into yogurt.
29
Ferment means it uses good bacteria to change or preserve the food.
30
People usually ferment things with sugar or salt and they taste really good and apparently they're very good for our guts.
31
Our gut is all the organs inside our tummy.
32
But how about this bowl?
33
This bowl started its journey as clay dug up from the earth.
34
A potter shaped it with their hands.
35
It was fired in a kiln.
36
A kiln is a clay oven.
37
And that kiln was hot enough to turn clay into this ceramic bowl.
38
Apparently the whole universe is in this bowl.
39
The English language is no different.
40
Idioms don't appear from thin air.
41
We humans shape the language through our culture and our habits.
42
So let's look at an idiom to spill the beans.
43
Spill the beans means to reveal a secret or hidden information that you probably shouldn't.
44
And this idiom comes from ancient Greece where when they used to vote with black and white beans in a jar,
45
if somebody knocked that jar over and the beans spilled out, then the secret would be revealed.
46
The voters would know who is getting voted in.
47
Speaking of secrets, now it's time to reveal the first secret puzzle piece which is to listen with attention.
48
Just like eating with attention, you slow down and you focus on only what's in front of you.
49
So instead of watching video after video, you can choose one video that's slightly above your level and then watch it twice.
50
The first time with subtitles.
51
Slow down and try to follow the story, not every word.
52
the second time you'll watch it without the subtitles really try to hear
53
and listen to the rhythm of English the sound of the speakers you're training your ears here
54
when you have a conversation you don't have subtitles we listen to English not like a task or a chore,
55
but we listen to immerse ourselves in the language.
56
Treat it like something that you're curious about and something that you enjoy doing.
57
If you want content that matches your level, you can watch it on sproutlanguage .com.
58
Now, listening with attention is just the first piece of the puzzle, there's a more important piece, one that's harder to fit in.
59
But before I talk about that, I want to go to a new cafe that I've heard about.
60
So, let's go.
61
Don't wanna be a one -man woman Got me stranded like a boat in the sand
62
Just the thought of not spreading my wings drives me crazy Hello, can we have the lemon espresso?
63
Lemon espresso?
64
Yeah, one lemon espresso Right guys, we've just arrived at a cafe called I Hate Mondays
65
and it's pretty cool in here it's our first time here
66
and it's actually just started pouring down with rain outside we are sitting by the window it's light bright
67
and the view
68
is just right i'm feeling good we've just ordered a lemon espresso tonic
69
that beautiful thing it's in a wine glass with a sprig of rosemary
70
and a wedge of lemon
71
which you squeeze inside sour after we eat i've
72
got some work to do on my laptop but before
73
that i want We want to look around the environment and see if we can immerse ourselves in some English.
74
On the left hand side of the picture we have a small plant in a blue vase.
75
On the right hand side we have a yellow lamp with a light bulb inside.
76
You can see the reflection of the yellow lamp shade in the window.
77
The chefs are in the kitchen cooking food.
78
This is a ceiling fan, keeping the cafe customers cool. Do you hate Monday?
79
Wow, what a beautiful view.
80
So cool in here guys.
81
Love the branding.
82
There's text everywhere, there's fun writing, fun pictures.
83
It's very playful.
84
It's a bit of me.
85
Bit of me.
86
It means I relate to it.
87
I like it.
88
Awesome.
89
And this is a cute little lemon tree in a plant pot.
90
This lemon is still green.
91
It's not ripe yet.
92
When a fruit is ripe, It means it's ready to eat.
93
This is a fridge.
94
A tough fridge.
95
Oh, hello. Is that you?
96
Right now I'm standing upstairs and Chang is sitting downstairs in the window.
97
This is a salmon salad.
98
Chang is holding the piece of salmon on the fork.
99
It's in a white bowl
100
and to the right of the white bowl is the salad dressing which she is pouring over the salad.
101
Beautiful.
102
She's squeezing the lemon juice.
103
into the wine glass.
104
These are seeds or pips.
105
It's a great word here guys.
106
This thing is called a carafe and you use it to pour water into the glass.
107
Here we have some roasted vegetables with some kind of dip.
108
In British English this is It's called rocket.
109
In American English, it's called arugula, like the rocket that takes the astronauts up into space.
110
So what was the word that you shared this morning with me?
111
The word was epiphany, my word of the day, a sudden realization, a flash of inspiration.
112
what am i doing i am dabbing my mouth with the napkin to dab
113
i've just finished my meal it was lovely i'm pretty full i'm feeling satisfied
114
and now i think it's time to reveal the second secret puzzle piece
115
which will make your english fantastic I know a lot of
116
you struggle with your English speaking you might not feel like it's good enough
117
but I want you to throw away
118
that belief right now I want you to release that belief
119
and let's keep things nice
120
and simple to get better at speaking focus on building a small daily habits small actions create big reactions.
121
You build momentum like a ball rolling down a hill.
122
10 minutes every single day is much better than four hours on a weekend.
123
I want to show you how you can use Sprout to cultivate and build a speaking habit.
124
We just added a super cool feature where you can turn any YouTube video into an English lesson.
125
Sprout gives you key vocab from that video and you can speak about it with J .I.
126
He will ask you questions about the video topic and help you use the new words you learned.
127
After you finish speaking, you get feedback to find out what you're doing well and where you can improve.
128
It's such a simple but powerful way to become fluent in English.
129
Listening with attention and speaking every day.
130
If you want to check out Spout, I'll leave a link in the description box.
131
You can try it for seven days free and turn any YouTube video into an English lesson.
132
Learning English is like doing a jigsaw puzzle.
133
It takes time, patience, and focus but every piece matters and each piece of action you take is something worth celebrating.

- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come lemon, puzzle, reveal.
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.
