Creazione lezione...
1
Alex, yo, man, you okay?
2
Oh, oh, what's up, Gil?
3
Man, man, what the hell you been doing?
4
Smoking something?
5
No, no, I'm just worried about Sunday.
6
Man, you've got absolutely nothing to worry about, man.
7
You got me, you got all the kids, we're going to help your ass out, man.
8
So you're paying me, right?
9
So then I use my no -fail, all -purpose seduction line.
10
Want to see God?
11
Nah, can I come up and use the bathroom?
12
Did it work?
13
Got me a hinky that looks like the Crab Nebula.
14
Oh, what's this?
15
You know, I can't give you freebies forever.
16
Come on, Alex, I'm going to be helping you out.
17
Anyway, check it out.
18
It's the label for goats, kickin' the ass, macro malts.
19
I make it in the bathtub.
20
And that's me as the god Pan riding a Harley.
21
Since when does Pan wear chain mail and no pads?
22
Hey, sis, what do you want?
23
What's up?
24
Listen, I need a copy of this invite on Cardstock so it looks real.
25
What's that naked guy doing to that monkey?
26
And don't you have a final tomorrow?
27
Yeah, whatever, Mom.
28
Um, anyway, not like you'd know, but Tuesday just so happens to be the new Saturday night for anyone who's even remotely cool.
29
Saturday night's only, like, Saturday night for, like, big -haired Gucci girls now.
30
And didn't you go out Saturday night, too?
31
Well, sort of, but, like, whatever.
32
Why are you, like, all up in my grill?
33
You don't have a life, so, like, you're just all, like, drunk.
34
Yeah, well, that's all gonna change.
35
What'd you forget?
36
About Sunday, I get my own place.
37
What a waste.
38
You'll still spend all your time playing video games.
39
At least I'll have somewhere to crash.
40
No, no, you won't.
41
My new apartment.
42
Get your own apartment.
43
Whatever.
44
This is not Chaka's Motel 6.
45
Whatever.
46
Well, if I can't scound up some bad money fast, I won't be going anywhere.
47
I've got an idea.
48
Legal?
49
Well, no. You wouldn't have this problem if you didn't spend so much money on toys.
50
Your room is filled with Star Wars crap and Transformers and Hot Wheels.
51
It looks like a six -year -old boy lives there.
52
Wait, I take that back.
53
A six -year -old boy wouldn't have a collection of the Spice Girls dolls.
54
Man, I like scary Spice.
55
Yeah, I like posh Spice.
56
Oh, she's pretty good, too, man.
57
Posh Spice.
58
Oh, my God, you are so creeping me out.
59
You should, like, sell some of that junk.
60
It's gotta be worth something to other geeks like you.
61
I'll never sell.
62
Never.
63
No way.
64
No. Damn.
65
Way.
66
This one's disabled.
67
It's a very rare one -armed Japanese import.
68
Even rarer than the old -school yak face.
69
So, you're saying that Yoda would beat Wolverine in a fight?
70
Yes.
71
I am confident that it is so.
72
I'm afraid that you are thinking with your heart and not your head, my friend.
73
Ah, New Comics Day.
74
Hmm, I can almost smell the desperation.
75
No, that's just a B .O.
76
Yeah, like a hundred bucks for all of them, all right, man?
77
Hey, Alex.
78
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, okay.
79
Here.
80
Thanks.
81
Take this to Frank.
82
Oh, her name's Serena, bro.
83
Not that you wanted to know or anything.
84
He would have no chance against adamantium claws and mutant healing powers.
85
Hey Alex, Yoda versus Wolverine.
86
Who do you think is going to win?
87
Uh, sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.
88
Okay, a hundred bucks even.
89
Yo, uh, how much is that, Mr. T?
90
50 you're gonna buy it
91

93

95
I bet you haven't even talked to her.
96
I have so.
97
Here.
98
Thanks.
99
Oh, so you're going to take this little plastic dinosaur collection?
100
No, no, I'll leave that here.
101
Oh, right.
102
That's educational stuff.
103
I don't want that.
104
Alex, don't leave me.
105
I want to go with you in the Gillian Anderson playset.
106
I want to come to, please, Alex.
107
Hey, when I get my apartment, I'm going to be the man.
108
Oh, really?
109
Yeah.
110
Or at least a normal human being.
111
You know, when you do, if that should happen and you start dating, you know, surgically implanted lap dancers and all that kind of stuff.
112
Who will keep me from blowing my brains out with a shotgun?
113
Oh, don't worry.
114
I'll always be there for you.
115
Like you'll be there for me.
116
Oh, yes.
117
On moving day.
118
Amen.
119
With the money for the van.
120
You have obviously forgotten my motto.
121
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
122
Or a voluntary participant in Poetry Slam.
123
Or a woman wearing a sweatshirt decorated with glitter.
124
You don't like many people, do you, Jen?
125
No. And that should make you feel extra special.
126
Oh, yeah.
127
Oh, God, no, don't.
128
What was?
129
Your heart made of stone?
130
Doesn't this bring back memories?
131
Yeah, it was my only date in high school.
132
God, I remember, yes.
133
I was emptying the spit valve on my trumpet, and this clarinet reed came, like, flying through the air and had stuck up,
134
skin -blue -playing Stacey, Bruce -Face Barcella in the back of the neck.
135
Oh, my gosh, I remember.
136
And then after school, we went to Mistores
137
and made them give us a bowl of gravy to dip the french fries in, which is a bizarre custom that you, I don't know where you get this from.
138
They do that in Europe.
139
Oh, they do?
140
Yeah.
141
Aren't you cosmopolitan?
142
It was so funny, though.
143
I think that was when we realized how much we both hated her guts, and we made up the nickname Barfella, you know, and we became,
144
like, friends through shared animosity.
145
See, Jen, actually, I liked Barfella, so that's why I threw things at her, that's what boys do,
146
and you know well let's just let's just say she provided
147
enough uh stroking material for me to get through junior high
148
without ever having to actually talk to a girl except for
149
you of course Alex yeah why can't you let me enjoy my hate then he puts his arm around me
150
and he goes this here's my next hoochie don't look at me like
151
that he didn't mean it in a bad way I know it uh Mecca If someone did that to me, I'd be all, and here's your next operation.
152
Hiya, hiya, hiya!
153
Whatever.
154
Shouldn't we be helping or something?
155
So, how did you find this apartment?
156
I lucked out.
157
The landlord came into work to copy legal forms, and I went up to him, and I was like, Yo, send out this month!
158
I never liked your face, you no -good bum!
159
See you in housing court, you blood -sucking leech!
160
You didn't see the inside?
161
Well, I mean, I had to grab it.
162
This is New York.
163
I had to snatch it up.
164
You poor dear.
165
You know how apartments go.
166
I know, honey.
167
There are eight million hovels in the Naked City, and you just got yourself one of them.
168
Make way for ugly furniture!
169
Why are we taking this monstrosity?
170
It's a housewarming gift from the folks.
171
Oh, it's a heavy housewarming gift.
172

181
That's the refrigerator.
182
Did I ever tell you about the time I lived in an air shaft?
183
Was that before or after the bank vault?
184
Hey, look, it's a window and a metaphor for your life.
185
This couch smells like a litter box.
186
Yeah, it's got that 70s porno movie smell so popular with today's youth.
187
I don't think that's popular with anyone.
188
Speak for yourself.
189
Well, I guess we gotta chuck it.
190
Sure gonna be a pain getting this mother down the stairs.
191
Why don't we just throw it out the window?
192
Goat, your devotion to laziness astounds me.
193
Me and laziness?
194
Like that.
195
Well, it's worth a try.
196
Chaka, you and Mecca stand out front, alright?
197
Make sure no one gets in the way.
198
You think you can handle that?
199
Whatever, Alex.
200
You act like I'm, like, Miss Irresponsible or something.
201
You're cool.
202
No one's coming.
203
The first transport is away.
204
You can fly. Be free.
205
Fly like the wind.
206
Yo, here's the mother load.
207
Get out of the way.
208
Yo, you want a couch on your head?
209
Oh, my God.
210
I forgot to tell you.
211
Jimmy, like, swears up and down that Siam forced him to go out with her.
212
Are you serious?
213

Yo, hey, are we in the clear?

220
All right, chill out, I'm on top of it.
221
You got tons of room.
222
Okay, but watch yourself.
223
This could get ugly.
224
Right.
225
Hey, Chaka, Becca, over here.
226
What's up, yo?
227
Hey, yo, what are you doing?
228
Oh, where is it?
229
Oh, my God.
230
Oh, man, that guy took down all my info.
231
Now I'll have to foot the bill to fix his crappy car.
232
Man, I told you to establish multiple identities.
233
Oh, and guess who's chipping in, Chaka?
234
No way.
235
It was totally an accident.
236
When I drop dead from a heart attack, could somebody please inform my next of kin? Will do.
237
Can I at least trust you two to watch the van while we take stuff upstairs?
238
I don't want to get ripped off.
239
I'll guard your Hulk shower curtain with my life.
240
Grab the futon and let's move out.
241
I'll hold the door.
242
Engage.
243
Lift your end a bit, Jen.
244
Is that a come on?
245
Um, yeah, sure.
246
Aren't you an easy one?
247
Get down and spread them.
248
Oh, yeah.
249
Boy, you're so subtle.
250
Oh, God, Alex, get over there.
251
Come on, I'm stronger.
252
I'm the manliest of all of us.
253
And I should be on the bottom.
254
Right.
255
Bet I'll get on the bottom.
256
Dear sir, I was a 98 -pound weakling, but then I sent for this amazing growth promo, and all of a sudden, I just sprouted 12 inches.
257
You mean the man -maker?
258
Yes.
259
You take the man -maker? oh yeah is it a pill
260

262

263
Hey, partner, look, there's Chaka and Mecca.
264
You know something?
265
I swear Chaka wants to get with me.
266
I know it.
267
Bro, you're, like, bugging out, man.
268
Just chill with that.
269
She's, like, off the meat rack or something.
270
I don't know.
271
But you know what I mean.
272
She's, like, not worth the trouble.
273
Well, she's a little chicken head, but, hey, she's also kind of cute, man.
274
Bet you I could get them both back to my crib with the quickness.
275
Okay, now watch me be all suave and crap.
276
He hooked up with a guy.
277
What's up, cuties?
278
Yo, Matt, that's my brother's band.
279
Ooh, Alex is the cookie king.
280
No, he's just using it for the move.
281
Yeah, Fruity, he's an expert at moves.
282
Room for three?
283
So me and Mecca were, like, looking for this club, right?
284
It was horrible.
285
And we both had to pee, like, simultaneously.
286
We were in sync, almost like twins or something.
287
Well, like, we always are, but, like, we ducked into this movie theater, and, like, this guy's like, no, you can't come in here, da -da -da -da -da, you cannot use our toilet.
288
Like, we're gonna steal a toilet or something, right?
289
She's stupid.
290
It's a normal bodily function.
291
Hey, you know, I live a few blocks from here.
292
So he's all like, how do I know you're going to come back?
293
Missy, do you have any ID?
294
And I'm like, what?
295
He's like looking at it, trying to figure out whether it's really hers or not, whether it's like a real school ID.
296
I'm all like, you have like no right to be looking at my name.
297
Seriously?
298
So he's all Chaka Henson.
299
And he's like checking out my card, seeing if it's validated.
300
What are you doing?
301
I'm all like, who are you?
302
Like, you're like a vending person at a movie theater.
303
Go clean out the popcorn machine or something.
304
I was like, yo, board or something.
305
Like I was saying, I thought maybe later we could all go over to my place, man.
306
Oh, damn.
307
Hey, you!
308
Stop!
309
Come back here with my man!
310
Chaka!
311
Wait up!
312
What just happened?
313
Your suave made them run away.
314
Where do you want the spatula?
315
Don't shake the box.
316
Can't you read it?
317
Shake, shake, shake.
318
Shake, shake, shake.
319
Shake your booty.
320
You are just a laugh -rider today, aren't you?
321
Thank you.
322
How much stock is left outside anyways?
323
I don't know.
324
You're sitting here fooling around.
325
The van!
326
Chaka!
327
I'm gonna bust her ass.
328
Aw, man.
329
They're gone, bro.
330
They're not coming back.
331
Trust me, B.
332
They always come back.
333
Stupid Alex and his stupid, stupid always being right.
334
Wait, Chaka, look.
335
Over there at the van!
336
Hey!
337
Hey!
338
Hey!
339
Hey, you!
340
Over here!
341
No way, Chaka.
342
You're crazy.
343
What?
344
You can't get into a van with a stranger.
345
He could be like, like, put the freaking lotion in the basket!
346
I've got pepper spray.
347
Cool van.
348
Is it yours?
349
Of course it's mine.
350
I'm driving it, ain't I?
351
Stop blocking the box!
352
I'm Toby.
353
Oh, what's your name?
354
Chaka, listen, can I have a ride and my friend Mecca and her cat?
355
Thanks.
356
No. Wait.
357
I'm kind in the middle of something right now.
358
You see how?
359
Oh, I might as well leave that sofa outside.
360
There's obviously no room for it, yeah.
361
What if Morticia Adams drops by and you want to put the moves on?
362
Well, actually, I always kind of preferred Wednesday.
363
How likely is that?
364
Oh, I'd say it's about as likely as you bagging that spooky chick from the comic shop.
365
How's the john?
366
Big enough to contain you?
367
Well, parts of me.
368
The only problem is the bowl's busted, so I had to throw it into the sink.
369
Ugh, gross.
370
If I could just figure out how to brew beer, that doesn't make it pee all the time.
371
I'll paint a nice, idyllic country scene on that window.
372
Some cows, a barn, maybe a mass murder.
373
Damn, what was I thinking?
374
What if I made the wrong move?
375
I mean, I had it fat back home.
376
No rent, no responsibilities, all the chicken rolls I could eat.
377
No sex, no self -esteem, no hope of ever leading a normal life.
378
I've had sex.
379
Yeah, sure you did.
380
Anyway, even if you did make the wrong decision, you've got to make the best of it now
381
and then spend decades complaining about your crummy apartment like every other New Yorker who isn't a millionaire.
382
Jen's right, man.
383
You cannot give up.
384
You must not look back.
385
Come hell, high water, or a fleet of Ferengi coming up your ass.
386
You must follow through and confront your destiny.
387
Gotta go.
388
Happy hour.
389
Hey, since you're getting rid of stuff, can I have the life -size Zena?
390
Um, where are the brakes again?
391
Oh, yeah.
392
Get out of my way, tourist stock girl.
393
Chaka, don't we have to get back?
394
Mecca, don't go up here in Zolombia.
395
I'm having fun.
396
What about Alex?
397
Hey, let's race that cab over there.
398
So then they ran away due to the fact that they were overwhelmed by my charm.
399
This couch is so hot.
400
God, it's so decadent.
401
You could have it for 50 bucks.
402
It was my great -grandmother's.
403
Mmm, I don't know.
404
She was a madam in a whorehouse in New Orleans.
405
Uh, drank absent?
406
Yeah, I don't think so.
407
I don't know, the claws are cool, though.
408
I'll tell you what, I'll deliver it for free.
409
Okay, I'll take it.
410
I guess.
411
Hey, guys, I'll give you ten bucks each to help.
412
Hey, the little creepy crawly babe, you're so crazy about us taking off with your sofa.
413
Don't let him off if he has to use the bathroom.
414
He's dirty.
415
God, who's yelling?
416
I don't know, some freak.
417
Hey, didn't I see your picture on the Goth Chick of the Week website?
418
Hmm, that's original.
419
Damn, still no sign of the van.
420
Chaka doesn't even have a license.
421
At least not a real one.
422
Where the hell are they?
423
Wait, what are the rules again?
424
Okay, you can be like anywhere in the world doing anything you want with anyone.
425
You have like unlimited money. Be specific.
426
Okay, I'm with this guy.
427
And he's really sensitive and smart and we're in love
428
and he buys me flowers and writes me love songs every other day.
429
Mecca, where do you live?
430
Like, where are you in the world?
431
I don't know.
432
It doesn't matter.
433
So we're having this seriously deep connection on an almost cosmic level.
434
And then he leans in and just before he's about to...
435
What are you wearing?
436
What does he look like?
437
Oh, forget it.
438
You don't even know how to play this game.
439
I live on a private island.
440
Me too, where the water was like always crystal blue
441
and the sand was always white and it was always exactly 85 degrees.
442
Yeah, and we get shrimp and lobster and vanilla, you know, with the little beans in it.
443
Yeah, whatever.
444
We could have a chef cooking gourmet style dinner all the time.
445
Yo, a mansion, a television with every room in it.
446
We could have like our own private jet with like our own DJ spinning any type of music we want.
447
What about a casino?
448
We can have a casino, yo.
449
It's a fantasy.
450
All right.
451
See, Mecca?
452
That's how you play the game.
453
Okay, why don't you think of the window as, I don't know, think of it as like a conversation piece.
454
You know, and just be thankful that you've got the broken toilet in the apartment and out down the hall.
455
Thanks for trying to cheer me up, but I am un -cheer -uppable.
456
I'm sorry, I don't speak your language.
457
I made a new word today.
458
You did, you coined a phrase, didn't you?
459
But I must go now.
460
I must return to my apartment, featuring unreliable hot water, slutty roommate, and plaster chips that fall on my head.
461
Bye -bye.
462
Later.
463
Ugh!
464
All the way to Atlantic City and they wouldn't even let us gamble.
465
What kind of dumb whack law is that?
466
Well, it's only 2am though.
467
We could still go out.
468
What do you say, Mecca?
469
Wake up, Babs.
470
You're home.
471
Thanks for the ride.
472
Bye, Toby or whatever.
473
See you, Chaka.
474
Mr. Peeper says night -night.
475
Uh, okay.
476
Where to now?
477
Don't move.
478
Just follow my directions carefully.
479
No one gets hurt.
480
You know, you're a really weird chick.
481
I don't know.
482
Yo, it's me!
483
Chaka?
484
Oh, God, I'm so beat.
485
Don't worry, I can sleep on the floor, though.
486
Where's the van?
487
What the hell happened?
488
Where have you been?
489
Ugh, don't freak!
490
This guy stole it, and I had to track him down
491
and spend the whole day with him so he wouldn't suspect anything.
492
Then I had to hold pepper spray to his head and force him to bring it back.
493
It's parked right outside in a legal spot, so thank me, okay?
494
God, Shaki, you really are a brilliant liar.
495
Fine, don't believe me.
496
Can I stay anyway?
497
Yeah, I guess.
498
Too tired to argue.
499
You're the best, brother.
500
I'll make you coffee in the morning, maybe.
501
Um, but don't wake me before noon, okay?
502
Wow, it really is a dump in here.
503
Yeah, I guess this is what they refer to as real life, huh?
504
Well, it may not be pretty, but at least now you won't have to worry about Mom interrupting your personal time in the bathroom.
505
Mm -hmm.
506
Yeah, that's true.
507
Wait, what?
508
You know about that?
509
Mm.
510
Hey, Chaka, I'm sick of waiting downstairs.
511
Sorry about the van, man.
512
Your sister's cool.
513
Toby, this is Alex.
514
Um, I told Toby he could crash her, too.
515
That's okay with you, isn't it, Alex?
516
Alex?
517
Thank you.

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.
