Pratica di Shadowing: Modern Family Best Of Season 1 | Modern Family Clips - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

We're gonna be stuck with these people for the next five hours.

You're right, you're right.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Hi, hi.

Look at that baby with those cream puffs.

Okay, excuse me.

Excuse me, but this baby would have grown up in a crowded orphanage if it wasn't for us cream puffs.

And you know what?

Note to all of you who judge.

Hear this.

Love knows no race, creed, or gender.

And shame on you, you small-minded, ignorant few.

What?

She's got the cream puffs.

Oh.

We would like to pay for everyone's headsets.

That's when my dad's picking me up.

Hey, if we're not done by three, I'm going to tie a noose on this thing.

In Colombia, there's a saying.

If you have two stubborn burros that don't like each other, you tie them to the same cart.

The ceiling fan is the cart.

My dad's taking me on Space Mountain.

He's supposed to be really fast, but he's not scared of anything.

He doesn't even wear a seatbelt when he drives.

Wow, how about that?

Killed a bear once.

Really?

Was the bear sitting in the passenger seat?

Read me the instructions.

Safety tips.

Warning.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock...

We can skip that.

Uh, failure to heed these warnings can lead to serious injury or death.

You know, you worry too much.

You know that.

Nobody's gonna get shocked.

One time my dad was shocked by lightning.

That's why he can drink as much as he wants.

Manny thinks his dad is like Superman.

The truth, he's a total flake.

In fact, the only way he's like Superman is that they both landed in this country illegally.

How's this?

Not far enough.

Go on.

Okay, further down.

You can't go too far.

Right, okay, I get it.

I get it!

How's this?

Good.

Now stand still.

Don't move.

Okay, let's do it!

Woo!

I love it!

My mom started drinking these cocktails called Horny Columbians with some of Gloria's uncles,

whom apparently the drink was named after.

Oh, come on.

They were funny.

They kept patting my butt.

Somebody's full of herself.

It's a Colombian wedding tradition, they said.

I would like to make a toast.

Yeah, Nana got totally wasted.

It was really funny.

Then it was gross.

To the bride and the groom, my ex.

35 years we were together and he couldn't wait 10 minutes to run off with Charles.

Oh, my goodness.

That's a joke.

Seriously.

I knew they were perfect for each other when I saw his wallet and her boobs.

Take your hands off me.

Mom.

Oh, relax, Mitchell.

Would you take your Claire pill?

Okay.

Let's just take a little fresh air, okay?

And then it got weird.

Gloria!

Cheese me!

Oh, hey, cheese me!

No!

Oh, jeez!

Okay, okay.

What?

Nana's really strong.

I did.

Come on, Margaret.

I did.

100

I'm sorry.

101

Ah!

102

During my vows to my first husband, drug dealers burst in and assassinated the judge.

103

This was way worse.

104

What can I say?

105

I drive women crazy.

106

It's too soon, I guess.

107

Well, there's book smart and then there's street smart.

108

Yeah, and then there's Luke.

109

Oh, he's just, he's just curious.

110

That's all.

111

He's got this almost scientific mind with the thirst for knowledge.

112

He's like this little Einstein.

113

Some people ask why.

114

Luke asks why not.

115

I ask why a lot.

116

So Lily likes that, that singing?

117

Yes, it relaxes her.

118

Oh, okay. So Lily's deaf.

119

There, my little stinkers!

120

Come on in.

121

Hey.

122

Hola.

123

Hola, hola.

124

Well, hello there, Harry.

125

Take it down a notch, Jethro.

126

So, you guys ready for some fun?

127

What?

128

I love you, Grandpa, and I'm never gonna forget you.

129

Okay, okay, back at you, champ.

130

Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is a pajama party.

131

Where's your PJs?

132

Yeah, they're in my bag.

133

I need to talk to you about something.

134

She wants to go to a party with Dylan, Grandpa.

135

Shut up, Alex.

136

It's at my friend Andrew Adler's.

137

He lives three blocks from here.

138

Ah, walking distance.

139

Right, so I wouldn't ask you this because I love coming to your house, but it's kind of an important party, and I...

140

Yeah, if somebody invites you over, the last thing you want to do is insult them.

141

Exactly.

142

I'm glad we agree.

143

Oh, my God, that was so easy.

144

This is awesome.

145

You really don't understand what just happened there, do you?

146

PJ's on, Haley!

147

What?

148

Um, I would be happy to let her change in my room.

149

I am brave.

150

Roller coasters?

151

Love them.

152

Scary movies?

153

I've seen Ghostbusters like seven times.

154

I regularly drive through neighborhoods that have only recently been gentrified.

155

So yeah, I'm pretty much not afraid of anything.

156

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, everybody!

157

Quit your clowning around!

158

That's my job!

159

Except clowns.

160

Never shared that with the fam, so I do have an image to maintain.

161

I am not really sure where the fear comes from.

162

My mother says it's because when I was a kid I found a dead clown in the woods, but who knows?

163

Don't be mad.

164

I just got up to change her.

165

Well, Mitchell really wanted to ferberize the baby.

166

Ferberize.

167

It is a method of getting the baby to sleep through the night by, yes, basically letting her cry herself to sleep.

168

Torture.

169

It's not torture, Cam.

170

It's just hard if you happen to be a person who hates to hear another person suffer. Or two people suffer.

171

No, no, you got up to comfort her, which only teaches her that every time she cries, her daddy will come in and cuddle her and put on her favorite...

172

What are we watching?

173

Brian De Palma's controversial masterpiece, Scarface. For the baby?

174

She happens to like it.

175

I don't know if it's the colors or the sounds.

176

Oh, here comes the nightclub massacre.

177

She loves it.

178

Watch her little eyelids.

179

It's so cute.

180

They get so heavy.

181

Sorry, Jay.

182

It was an accident.

183

You know, I'm beginning to think you don't like Barkley that much.

184

I mean, first you hide him in the guest room and now this.

185

It's ridiculous.

186

I didn't mean to hurt it.

187

First of all, let's cut the it's.

188

He is a he.

189

And you can pretend to be innocent all you want, but action speaks louder than words.

190

Yeah, they can be very revealing.

191

What are you trying to say?

192

Nothing, but you have to admit that the dog butler is a little ridiculous.

193

You know what else I think is ridiculous?

194

That mountain of pillows you have on our bed.

195

I feel like I'm working on a loading dock just trying to get under the covers.

196

They're pretty.

197

They're a damn nuisance.

198

OK, forgive me for trying to make our home beautiful.

199

You know, if I can put up with those, you can put up with a piece of art.

200

This is not art.

201

This is an unholy mix between man and beast.

202

Fine.

203

If you love it so much, put it wherever you want.

204

Thank you.

205

Where are you going?

206

Get some more pillows?

207

No, don't worry.

208

It'd be a long time before I bother you again with my pillows.

209

Oy, so handsome!

210

Thank you.

211

Manny, are you wearing aftershave?

212

Yes, for my date.

213

This will be the first time she will ever smell me.

214

Her name is Whitney.

215

I met her in an online book club.

216

We both like vampire fiction and the romance of eternal life.

217

I think it's adorable that Manny has a date.

218

He even picked out the lunch menu.

219

Grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup.

220

Tomato soup because, you know, the tomato soup is like the blood and the vampires like to eat the blood.

221

And then he wants me to take them out for ice cream.

222

Well, because Manny likes ice cream.

223

Oh, that must be her.

224

If this goes well, you don't need to stick around.

225

Hi, I'm Whitney.

226

I'm here for Manny.

227

It's a terrific gym, Jay.

228

Very liberal with the towels.

229

I love that.

230

Showers are private, in case you wondered.

231

I wasn't.

232

Thanks for the heads up.

233

Now that's a surprise.

234

Boxers.

235

Is that necessary?

236

Well, I just always pictured you as a tighty-whitey guy.

237

Well, do me a favor.

238

The next time you picture me, leave the underwear out of it.

239

Well, don't you worry.

240

The only thing I'm picturing is how clean the floor is going to be when I'm done mopping it with you.

241

Is that the best you can do?

242

Because it's gonna take a little more than some lame trash talk to get me out of my...

243

God, what the hell is that?

244

Our butts pressed against each other.

245

They didn't press.

246

It was glancing.

247

Stop talking about it.

248

Oh, come on.

249

All the time you've spent in the locker room, this can't be your first moon landing.

250

You got a name for it?

251

It's very common.

252

You got off easy.

253

At least it didn't happen after a shower.

254

Enough.

255

We call that a splashdown.

256

That's it.

257

I'm changing in the stall.

258

Excuse me!

259

Mind if I join you?

260

I'm Clive.

261

Clive Dixby.

262

Yes, I can see that.

263

I'm Juliana.

264

So, Clive, you in town for a convention, or do you just forget your name a lot?

265

Pretty kitty has nails.

266

I like that.

267

I'm in town for a trade show.

268

I design high-end electroacoustic transducers.

269

Wow, that is very specific.

270

It's a fancy way of saying I get things to make noise.

271

Hmm. So, what's your story?

272

Miss America pageant in town.

273

You're a pretty smooth talker, Clive.

274

I'm pretty smooth all over.

275

Sir, there's no smoking in here.

276

Oh, that's fine.

277

I'm not actually a smoker.

278

You're quite the Boy Scout, Clive.

279

Tell me, would you be interested in earning a merit badge tonight?

280

Do you know anything about tying knots?

281

I probably shouldn't be talking to you.

282

I'm a married man.

283

Ah, well, I just so happen to like married men.

284

Tell me about your wife.

285

Well, she's beautiful, of course.

286

Like, well, if she's so very beautiful, why are you here with me?

287

Because she's always so tired, and she's always making lists of things for me to do.

288

Maybe if you did them, she wouldn't be so tired.

289

Oh, no, she can make lists for days.

290

But back to your mouth and how sexy it is.

291

Uh-uh.

292

I want to go back to these alleged lists and your nagging wife.

293

I'm not talking about you.

294

I didn't mean that.

295

Can we try this again?

296

No. So if your wife is so beautiful, why are you here with me?

297

Because I respect her too much to do to her what I'm going to do to you.

298

No jackpot.

299

I'll be right back.

300

Bye.

301

What am I most afraid of?

302

Let's see.

303

Global warming.

304

I'm getting a B.

305

The phone ringing in the middle of the night.

306

That I'm too much of a perfectionist.

307

I mean, this isn't a job interview.

308

Oh, man.

309

Job interviews.

310

Nothing.

311

Yeah, right.

312

What about the pigeons?

313

Oh, I don't like them.

314

They're shifty.

315

Losing Mitchell.

316

Oh.

317

Hotel bed spreads.

318

Never getting my driver's license.

319

Or getting one and the picture sucks.

320

Dying alone.

321

Can I just say that is a lovely outfit?

322

Oh, thank you.

323

Well, it's just nice to see you out of your lab coat but you actually have quite a nice figure.

324

Take it down a notch.

325

We're just trying to make a friend, not initiate a three-way.

326

Lily looks great.

327

Do you think so?

328

Shouldn't she have more teeth?

329

I see these kids running around at the park, and they look like sharks.

330

Don't worry.

331

She's perfect.

332

Aren't you, Lily?

333

Oh, look how calm she is with you.

334

She's usually very fidgety around new people.

335

Well, I just think she senses you're going to be a good friend for her during good times and flu season.

336

Mommy.

337

Did she just.. did she just say...

338

Well, her first word was every gay father's worst nightmare.

339

Mommy!

340

What's my coaching philosophy?

341

Give a kid a bird?

342

Yes.

343

And he becomes one of those weird dudes who walks around with a bird on his shoulder.

344

But give him a pair of wings?

345

He can fly.

346

Unless he has absolutely no hand-eye coordination.

347

Okay, I support you! Is that the alarm?

348

Has our perimeter been breached?

349

It's not the alarm.

350

The doorbell won't stop ringing.

351

Maybe a demon is ringing it.

352

Not a demon.

353

Who keeps ringing the doorbell?

354

We're pretty sure it's a demon.

355

Hell yeah!

356

There!

357

If it were a demon, it would keep on ringing.

358

Not if he's already inside.

359

I'm getting a weapon.

360

What were you thinking?

361

Who takes a little boy to a horror movie?

362

That's loco, Jay.

363

This is no big deal.

364

You want scary?

365

When I was his age, I lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis.

366

I slept with a butter knife under my pillow in case I had to fight some Soviet colonel.

367

Why would they send a Soviet colonel to get a little boy?

368

Because I could identify every commie plane.

369

What are we talking about?

370

Look, all I'm saying, being scared is part of growing up.

371

Manny will get over this.

372

It builds character.

373

I'll take the first watch.

374

You two might as well get some rest.

375

It's gonna be a long night.

376

Character.

377

Nobody likes a crying baby on a flight.

378

It's very stressful.

379

Yeah, last year I flew back from New York next to a baby who was very upset the entire flight, and it was hell.

380

I was on that flight with you, and I don't recall...

381

Oh, I get it.

382

You're talking about me.

383

That's very funny.

384

Yeah, we couldn't get tickets to Billy Elliot.

385

All he wanted to do was dance.

386

And that's my story.

387

Five hours of this.

388

I just want to dance with the ballet.

389

Don't you want to keep our room neat?

390

You know, in case we entertain.

391

Who would we entertain?

392

I noticed some lovely tweens down by the kids' club.

393

Maybe we can find a nice spot near them by the pool and send over a couple of virgin Mai Tais.

394

They may be interested in too sophisticated men like us.

395

I am a bathroom martian.

396

Beep, boop, boop.

397

I am from the nebula of the great toilet.

398

Beep, boop.

399

I'm really excited about it.

400

The whole extended family, all dressed in white in a single file line down the staircase.

401

Oh, like a line on the highway.

402

No. Or a ski jump.

403

No. Why would I want a ski jump?

404

I don't know.

405

My idea was to have the whole family in a giant bed like in Willy Wonka.

406

Yeah, but that's ridiculous.

407

Ridicu-licious.

408

Great.

409

We are screwed.

410

No, we're not.

411

We haven't unwrapped our secret weapon yet.

412

Luke walks over there, hurtlocker style, flips the switch, and boom.

413

Or not boom.

414

Water off.

415

Put the he in hero, son.

416

Hurtlocker, it's more like squirtlocker.

417

Really?

418

That wasn't funny?

419

I actually pity you guys.

420

Jay?

421

Over here.

422

Hey.

423

Hey.

424

What are you doing?

425

I'm stuck.

426

I laid down, my back went up.

427

Oh, well, don't you worry.

428

We're gonna get you out of here.

429

Grab on.

430

You know, Phil, this might not be the best thing.

431

No, no, no, no, no, no. We're just gonna rock you.

432

Like a hurricane.

433

I'm kidding.

434

You're too old to get that.

435

Here we go.

436

Wait, why don't you just get someone who works here?

437

No, this is gonna work. And now.

438

Oh!

439

Wow!

440

You're spasming.

441

Don't move.

442

Don't move.

443

Um.

444

By the way, I just wanna thank you for this trip.

445

It's really been a vacation of a lifetime.

446

Oh.

447

Nothing weird.

448

Aloha.

449

I keep my wallet in my front pocket, so that's...

450

that's what that is.

451

Neck going.

452

I'm sorry.

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.
