Creazione lezione...
1
these damn foreigners girl chill chill chill chill happy new year's
2
i know i know it's already like what uh 13 days into the year
3
but let's just pretend it's still january 1st because it is
4
and i say
5
so anyways new year's i love the new year's it's like the only time of the year
6
when japan actually seems to have spirit you know christmas
7
and halloween just ain't the same as other countries no decorations
8
nothing unless you go to your humongous local shopping mall then they have a few decorations here
9
and there and inside i guess
10
and also tokyo where most events are taken rather seriously
11
but also where all the weird happens so we don't talk about
12
that today we're talking about hatsumode
13
and i'm pretty sure most of you guys know what hatsumode is
14
so i'm just gonna keep it short like my friend koopy
15
so hatsumode is basically you go to the shrine do fortune telling japanese style pray at shrine leave shrine
16
and i went to kyoto to visit
17
i think that's how you say it the kanji is like fushimi inari
18
but my mom calls it fushimini so i'm just gonna call it
19
that fushimini is a famous shrine because oh gosh there's like
20
so many people every year
21
but i'm telling you it was another level this year the
22
roads were closed off the parking lot we would use every year wasn't available for some reason
23
and my mom was raging the whole time like all these damn foreigners forgetting
24
that one is sitting right next to her
25
that was a long ride man just for a damn parking lot bro oh my god
26
so we get out of the car
27
and i'm just hyping myself up to climb all those stairs
28
there's like 1300 stairs there bro oh gosh bless my soul
29
because every year my dumbass be forgetting how mentally
30
and physically tiring it is to get to the top for a few minutes it was just me
31
and my mom and a few people around
32
but the moment we cross the train tracks bro the amount of people
33
that just spawned out of nowhere
34
and to be honest after seeing all them japanese people daily all the time to see
35
so many foreign people walking around
36
so casually it felt like i was in disneyland bro i will not elaborate on
37
that first we did omikuji basically just imagine fortune telling
38
but in japanese and also in riddles that gives me
39
that nostalgic feeling of not understanding
40
when i first came to japan bro my omikuji was
41
so confusing bro i'm not even gonna go in that's not
42
what i wanted to talk about i want to talk about
43
people taking pictures like listen i understand you're in japan at
44
a famous shrine it might be the first time for some people i get it i understand
45
but dude come on there was literally hundreds of people like literal hundreds of people walking behind you
46
and some random motherfuckers pull some shit like this nugget what
47
is this the runway no then why on earth are you
48
stopping bro i genuinely do not understand why i have to experience traffic
49
when i don't even have a goddamn license
50
and i don't even own a car like bro
51
because what do you mean it takes more than 10 minutes to get to the end of a path
52
that is supposed to be a two minute walk why do
53
i have to spend my new year's watching you do your
54
glam bot bro like this doesn't make sense let's say some kid fell
55
and hurt their knee or something
56
and they're crying that's fine they're kids they don't know better they're dumb
57
but a grown oh i need to calm down i swear i ain't painting a good image on myself
58
because i literally crash out at least once in every video bro i need to calm down
59
okay let's go back to the fun stuff oh wait nah
60
nah nah bro i forgot i forgot about the stairs oh
61
my god no bro i swear my memory just resets every year
62
because i thought for even a millisecond
63
that i would walk out of this alive bro we walked
64
up to the point where we were able to see the view of the city
65
and i was like oh my gosh wow that's so beautiful
66
and i hear some dude behind me say 40 more minutes
67
to the top never in my life have i regretted knowing english this bad dog
68
and that wasn't even the end of it we stayed there for a
69
while looking out at the view taking pictures
70
and let's be real we were also taking a little break and then we decide to start climbing again
71
560 more stairs to go they were right behind us bro stop
72
that shit it is demotivating as hell make it stop make
73
it stop bro was at every save point declaring how many more stairs
74
and minutes we had left until our destination
75
but like dude with all due respect please shut up please
76
because some people in front who heard the dude would look back at me as
77
if i were the problem like do i look like a dude to you my mom was
78
so ready to throw hands i had to calm her down
79
because she would literally just straight up say stuff in english
80
just to make sure they understood every single word she said bro the stress was insane
81
but eventually we got to the top prayed and we ate some udon
82
and some ice cream which i kind of regretted
83
because i don't like strawberry ice cream my mom was explaining all the tales
84
and fun facts and lore about kyoto
85
and the shrine her mom is from kyoto
86
so she heard a lot of them when she was small
87
and grew up with some kyoto traditions i thought it was cool
88
and asked her questions on her way back down
89
and she seemed to have fun answering them
90
but okay um we were almost to the bottom
91
and my mom all of a sudden looks up
92
and says oh hey look it's another kitsune
93
and pointed at the fox statue
94
and i asked what does this one mean it has something in its mouth
95
and this woman and she was dead serious i tell you she says
96
hmm wheat probably okay bro listen i don't have any knowledge about the kitsune
97
but think stay with me we're at a japanese shrine in kyoto wait you mean rice right
98
she looks back at the statue then looks back at me
99
i mean it's the same thing the same girl what do
100
you mean that's it do you know where flour comes from don't they make
101
that with rice too flour they don't make flour with rice
102
rice makes comeko wheat makes flour we kind of both laughed about it afterwards
103
because like bro how are you living in japan for 15
104
plus years she's been here longer than me mind you
105
and you say like you just came from america two days
106
ago bro now i know where i get my intelligence from
107
no offense mom anyways today's unrelated story i'm currently living kind of far away from my mom
108
and i'm not allowed to take my cats there yes i have cats my mom would occasionally send pictures
109
and videos of them and tell me how much they miss me
110
and all so when i went back home after a
111
while of being away i was expecting my cats to either be extra clingy
112
or just a straight up forget my whole existence
113
but surprisingly they remembered me the oldest
114
and youngest would be very clingy to me
115
but i'ma be real they were always kind of clingy
116
but my middle child my only son would come up to me
117
and just sit next to me like who is this mind
118
you this dude was always the one running from basically every single human being he crossed paths with
119
but for once i feel like oh my god he actually loves me okay you too i guess
120
and i really thought for a second
121
that after all these years he was gonna start showing more love
122
but nope but it's fine i was used to it
123
and i went out to my room to go to bed home sweet home That motherf*er pissed all over my goddamn sheets.
124
You ate a dog!
125
What kind of bulls* is this?
126
Ain't nobody asked for this s*.
127
I had to wash my hair again and change my clothes because it was fresh too.
128
Oh my god, it was warm.
129
And that ain't even it because how the hell my mom just let that s* sit there and marinate?
130
Like, girl, please!
131
I could still feel it, bro.
132
So, I hope you liked the video.
133
It's my first time doing that last bit
134
and I'm considering doing this in my future videos
135
because sometimes i have stories i want to share
136
but it's just too short to be its own video who knows i might just do
137
that a few times and after a good amount i'll put it in one video
138
so you guys can just watch all of them at once
139
if you're interested also unrelated but i got this fan art and learned
140
that this thing is called the komodo dragon i swear people be sending me pics of this dude
141
and i was genuinely confused bro but honestly i love the humor
142

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.
