Pratica di Shadowing: LOVE & OTHER DRUGS (a paris vlog) - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

As you can probably already tell by the lack of masks,

which honestly looks foreign to me now,

this is an old vlog.

I visited my friend Damon in Paris last fall,

and by the time I came back I was packing up to move across the country,

and then apartment hunting in New York,

and then Miss Verona came to down.

Basically I was waiting to post this till travel was normal again,

but it looks like that that might not be for a long, long time.

So anyways, here's this vlog.

I fucking miss human beings,

dude, and I hope that life will be like this again soon.

Can you angle it more towards the water?

Not towards me!

Don't hit those people!

You think it's gonna shoot that far?

Ashley, it'll go way over there.

Watch for the married couple, don't ruin their day.

Umm...

It's not going!

Woo!

Welcome to Paris.

Oof, I love Prosecco.

Brunch in Paris at 7pm.

Eww, it's so zoomed in!

But like, it's kind of charming to be that close to the camera.

Not when you look like this.

Are you kidding me?

Okay, this is David.

When did we meet?

It was like a year and a half ago.

We met on La Brea Avenue, because Ashley was editing.

She was like an editor.

You were an editor back in the day.

Yeah.

And I needed an editor.

And then I met Ashley and I'm like,

you can't be an editor.

You need to edit your own videos and focus on your own channel.

It's weird thinking back because when I met you,

I had like 80,000 subscribers.

It was such a little YouTube channel and you were the first person that was like,

this is a thing.

And I was like, no,

it's not gonna be a thing.

Because you have to,

I swear there's a moment where you have to jump to the charts Just stop working for the week

or work for yourself and that's when it finally takes off Not

that I'm trying to take credit for it Well thanks to David,

this is the man who made this view

Yeah, it's so pretty!

So Damon is curled up on the floor of the Airbnb right now,

looking up photos of the party we're about to go to.

What's it called?

It's called La Possession and it's one of these that's like,

Y'all n'y n'a à l'air tu n'a Paris.

It's like one of those.

I've been to these kinds of parties,

but I've never been to one this hard.

Like, even I'm a bit scared, actually.

Like, we grew up in the States thinking that,

like, we're the freest country ever!

And then you go to La Possession.

What's happening?

Just like, people are themselves.

Without worrying about other people judging them.

Damon's showing me all these photos of people with their shirts off.

Girls and guys.

So That'll be me tonight You say who?

Everybody has their shirt off.

I'm not seeing one shirt That's the dress code Ashley These are the sexiest hands I've ever seen.

Look at this These are the hands of somebody who's either having sex or right about to If we were being smart,

we would start getting our outfits ready.

What can we use?

Like tie it around Hey,

that's a little modest to be honest.

That's a little high coverage for me

Dress sexy, but I can't wear a dress

and we also have to prepare an option for if I take my shirt off Okay,

so this is a corset option Wow that works already first option Good to go.

Okay, okay.

I have that and then jeans,

which I feel like is what you would approve of.

Skirt.

No. Oh, I also have plaid pants,

but I feel like this is a little business woman.

That's tomorrow.

That's the hangover look.

You pair that with like a white tee,

with like this white shirt.

I mean, you said no dresses.

I brought like a black dress.

I feel like you think we're going to like a party in the Louvre.

You'll see everyone there will be in running sneakers.

You'll think they're part of like the cross-country team.

See, that bothers me, because the first thing I look at somebody's like outfit,

Even for guys, I like look at their face and then I look at their shoe game.

And if the shoes are bad, it's a no-go.

Yeah, that's a deal breaker.

100

You got some Jordans.

101

Homeboys can I like...get it.

102

For a guy's shoes, are the strongest indicator of his perception of his own personality, you know?

103

Yeah, tell us what kind of guy you're looking for.

104

We'll like look at the shoes tonight.

105

I wouldn't date a straight guy who wears Reeboks, I think.

106

But you'd date a gay guy who wears Reeboks.

107

I could take a little bit of a Vans guy as long as he's not a skater

108

and he's more of a nerdy Vans guy.

109

What would your exes wear?

110

Well, that might not be the best.

111

I would not date a Birkenstocks guy anymore.

112

My perfect type of guy is a guy who wears brogues or like oxfords or something.

113

Like something that's a little bit fancy,

114

but I feel like we're not gonna see that tonight.

115

Yeah, just just take the Eurostar back to London and then you might find that there.

116

No, I'm like really skinny right now, but that's fine.

117

Again, it's a body positive place, Ashley.

118

I love how we're all for body positivity,

119

but we all hate our own bodies still.

120

But I feel like even when you have a good body,

121

you still don't think it's good enough.

122

No one's happy, but maybe that's the lesson after all.

123

That if we all realize that everyone's unhappy with their body,

124

then why can't we all just be happy with our bodies?

125

I could do like a workout tank top.

126

And I have good side pecs.

127

Just not front pecs?

128

Ha!

129

It gets a little iffy from the front.

130

Like I'm trying to go out and I'm trying to look sexy tonight, to be honest.

131

I'm going out, I wanna flirt,

132

I wanna meet people, but it's like I have all these quirky clothes.

133

It's not sexy.

134

My entire wardrobe is quirky non-sexy clothes, are you kidding me?

135

You have a corset in gold, are you kidding me?

136

That's so sexy.

137

You think I wanna show up in my...

138

Actually.

139

I think our problem is that we both dress like Sherlock Holmes characters.

140

Yeah, and it's like I enjoy that during the day.

141

But then my thing is like when I go to the club,

142

why am I so worried that people are gonna not find me sexy when I like wearing that?

143

Yeah, I think people will find you sexy in that you look good in that stuff anyway.

144

I'll have to work really hard I found the shirt.

145

It may be a little dirty.

146

Don't smell it, but Ashley,

147

this is how they do it at the raves.

148

You just wear some sneakers.

149

You don't look too pretentious,

150

but you still look kind of cool

151

You just have some chest region coming up I just have a shirt that'll bust open mid-song

152

Here's my Matrix stripper outfit Oh yeah Can we see the full look with it off?

153

Woo!

154

That's how Ashley's gonna be tonight It's gonna look good Dang

155

Any extra additional footage will be on Ashley's phone Please excuse the horrible quality Heartbroken and weary

156

Yeah, it's a good 8.30pm and Ashley just woke up.

157

I've been up the whole day.

158

Not the orange juice Hello,

159

160

We made it home I love how this Paris vlog is just us at home Yeah,

161

okay, this was my first time at a rave Yeah,

162

the thing with raves here It's like exactly what you picture

163

in a movie You show up to the location You walk in,

164

the bouncers are like, come inside And then you get inside And you're walking into a container factory

165

that ships to West Africa.

166

That's where we were.

167

We were in a container factory.

168

You make your way through the crowd

169

and you're feeling like a little tipsy from the drinks

170

and you make your way to the dance floor and then you see someone who's cute.

171

Enter.

172

He was an overall in a room.

173

He was

174

so cute oh he was yes he was wearing overalls he was adorable i got a picture of them

180

but we'll keep you guys updated i don't know i don't know

181

if he was as into me as i was into him

182

that's how it goes here i think we're more like cheery

183

and enthusiastic about love

184

and they're just like i was just trying to have like

185

a one night thing i think the confusing thing especially

186

when you're kind of under the influence i'll say it's this french guy

187

and he's like I think I'm falling in love with you like it is

188

that I said yeah he was like really sweet

189

and he was like how long are you here he really

190

seemed like he wanted to like spend the rest of the time with me

191

but then the next morning when you're like hungover

192

and shit he's like get your croissant

193

and leave I've had this before where I've gone on like

194

I think it was literally two dates with a guy here

195

and he was like a French Prince Charming

196

and then third date this man wrote me a sonnet like a poem

197

and all over it was like you are the love of my life

198

and your eyes are so beautiful like the blue of the ocean.

199

I was like, dude, one,

200

like we've seen each other at night.

201

You haven't even seen what my face looks like.

202

He's like, dude, you're doing a lot.

203

You don't know that you love me.

204

Come on.

205

Did you see him after that?

206

Was that too much?

207

Oh yeah, I've seen him many times.

208

We've become friends.

209

Like I said, everyone I meet on like Tinder these days is,

210

it's like a friend app at this point.

211

I've noticed that that's a trend here.

212

They're very romantic, but sometimes I'm like,

213

are you being romantic for the sake of being romantic?

214

Are you being romantic because it's what you feel?

215

Yeah.

216

I think it's like the opposite of in America there's like social pressure to be less romantic

217

and to care less but I think here it's like sleazy romance Which is fine sometimes Yeah,

218

it's still fun, still floats my boat Anyway, how was it?

219

What did you end up doing?

220

Nothing!

221

I went straight home to bed like a good boy

222

I had an experience from an app

223

and I went over to some guy's place

224

and then another guy showed up and another guy showed up and I was like This is hot but...

225

Yeah, count the total number of guys there Yeah,

226

just do the math, do the math.

227

But I eventually subtracted myself from the equation and got out of there because I was not having it.

228

Then I came home and then Ashley also came home.

229

And there we were, two beans on the couch.

230

We couldn't even go out to eat, we ordered Uber Eats.

231

My body will not pass through that door today.

232

Let's compare the time that I left and the time that Dave left.

233

Okay, these are my boots.

234

They look the fucking same as before.

235

These are Damon's shoes!

236

They used to be white!

237

I don't know where Sarah Lynn got the heroin from.

238

Damon and I are watching BoJack and we're literally pausing

239

and replaying it because we're so in awe of how they wrote this line.

240

Wait!

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.
