Ryan: This is the loneliest house in the world.

Oh, it's so lonely.

No! There are tons of conspiracy theories around it.

Like...like some people think a billionaire built this place in case of a zombie apocalypse. Some people think it's like, a religious cult.

But most people just wanna move here and get away from their problems.

Emma <i></i>: Don't be surprised if one day I just...

Ryan: No. But on a real note: this trip is said to be extremely dangerous. And locals say: you'd have to be stupid to try to go with no experience. Which really only leaves one man for this job. Hello, hello!

Clearly, I'm not prepared for a country named Iceland.

Basically, I'm taking a taxi to a ferry.

That ferry is gonna drop me off at an island.

And from that island, I'm going to the island with the loneliest house in the world on it. I made it.

Lunar ma lunar.

Ryan: Did I say that right? Sort of a celebratory... Phone: Hairy melons.

Ryan: Oh, dear! It is so cold.

I'm wearing shorts. I'm meeting a man named like, Bjarni or something.

I don't know how to pronounce his name.

Okay, I'm moving a little fast here, so let me explain!

In 2017, a man named Bjarni uploaded this YouTube video.

He explores the island and the house and everything, but he's only speaking Icelandic.

So I reached out to him and he actually responded. And he said he would take me to the island and make me juicy steaks.

So that's about all the information I'm pulling up with.

And this is Bjarni.

How do you pronounce your name?

Bjarni: "Bjarni". Ryan: "Bear knee".

Bjarni: "Bjarni". Ryan: "Bertney".

Bjarni: Yeah. Ryan: So he shows me the boat we're going to be leaving on to go to the island in treacherous waters, might I add.

Guys: Oh! That's a pretty large boat! Not bad.

He should be fine on the water.

Ryan: It's the small one.

Bjarni: You get in front of the boat and you jump.

Ryan: Are you serious? Bjarni: Yes.

There's no...there's no pier or coshi.

Ryan: Oh! Bjarni: This is raw nature.

Ryan: Oh, my gosh!

Bjarni: Oh!

Ryan: "Byart ney". Bjarni: Yow. Ryan: Bjarni just gave me a bunch of clothes, because I wasn't prepared.

Oh! Ready. I feel deathly sick to my stomach right now.

Not sure if it's because I ate 2 bags of Icelandic candy, I haven't pooped in 48 hours, or...I'm so scared right now.

Can I just say that? And we're going in 10 minutes.

Bjarni: Hi!

Ryan: Alright. Oh! It's a cinematic shot.

I gotta get the camera.

Bjarni: Of course, of course. Ryan: It's...So, just for the record, we're not taking this boat.

Ryan: We're taking that one. Bjarni: Yeah, the small one.

Ryan: Hi! Ragnar: Hey! How are you doing?

Ryan: Ryan. Ragnar: Ragnar.

Ryan: Ragnar?

His name is Ragnar.

My life is in the hands of a man who is 100% not afraid of anything.

This dude probably eats fear for breakfast.

The dark is afraid of him.

Bjarni: He'll drive like crazy.

Ryan: Are you serious? Man: And you will be sh*ing yourself on the way out.

Joi: It's not a good sailing weather.

Ryan: Ah! Love to hear that.

The Icelandic ocean is literally freezing.

And I also can't swim.

So they give us this life vest that gives you...

Joi: 1 hour to live in wintertime.

Joi: Iceland cold. Ryan: Ah, okay. Joi: 1 minute if you are not.

Ryan: Thank you! Joi: Okay.

Ryan: I couldn't really fly my drone, so I found some free stock footage to, like, portray my experience on the boat to the island.

So I just cut back and forth between...

I just remembered I forgot to put on my goggles.

Ryan: These are yours. Bjarni: Oh, yeah.

Bjarni: Yeah, man. Ryan: Alright.

Ah! I'm terrified. So this is the part of the video, where I can never really illustrate how scared I am. And, like, just how dangerous this is for someone like me, who has no experience doing anything.

But I have to jump off of this boat over the icy, deathly waters.

I hope I don't fall.

Ragnar: Ready...ready...

Jump! Ryan: This is insane.

So this is the part where we actually climb up the mountain.

We're around here.

Ragnar: You go first. Ryan: Okay.

Ragnar: And I'll be behind you.

Ryan: Okay.

Ragnar: Always one hand on the rope.

Ryan: Okay. Ragnar: Great.

Just go nice and easy!

Go your pace!

Ryan: So the camera ends up dying.

So I'm just gonna do a quick Photoshop example of what actually happened.

So we're climbing up this rope at a very steep angle.

I'm terrified. Bjarni's just talking about juicy steak.

Ragnar is like...Ragnar.

He's like a Pokemon or something, I don't know.

We're climbing up the mountain. We're climbing up the mountain.

And at this point, I started getting ahead of Ragnar and Bjarni, and they're like: "Ryan, slow down!". And I'm like: "Hey, guys! I can't hear you".

Ragnar is like: "Ryan, watch out!".

And that is the exact moment.

I slip and fall into the ocean.

And then I levitate out of the water on a...on a flying shark.

The shark...the shark also asked for my go... for the goggles.

The orange ones. That was just part of the transaction.

We're flying, we're flying.

We're flying around the island. He takes me over here.

He takes me over there. Bjarni can't believe his eyes.

Finally, he drops me off right at the top of the mountain.

He gives me my goggles back and he leaves.

100

So now you're caught up. I regret this.

101

And there's a lonely house on the other side of this mountain.

102

And I've got 2 Icelandic dudes to share it with.

103

Ryan: We made it. Bjarni & Ragnar: We made it.

104

Ryan: So we made it to the loneliest house in the world.

105

But I can't forget why I'm here.

106

I need to find out who owns this place.

107

How did they build it? How long could you survive here without leaving?

108

The steaks are high, and they are juicy.

109

Hopefully. I hope that's happening still.

110

So I'm the 11,260...11,265th person to step foot in this house.

111

Bjarni: Yeah. There's some snack here.

112

Some small steaks.

113

Ryan: Juicy. Bjarni: Yeah.

114

Ryan: This is the dining and sitting area.

115

Bjarni: Enjoy, my friend! Ragnar: Everything that's here, was carried up by hand.

116

Ryan: Like, how we climbed up.

117

Ragnar: Yep. Ryan: Oh, my gosh!

118

Ragnar: Every nail, every wood, every stick.

119

Everything was carried up.

120

Ryan: I'm in the bedroom right now.

121

I got this shot earlier.

122

This is what it looks like.

123

I can't believe we're...

124

Where am I?

125

This place is lonelier than an Instagram model in 2013.

126

Like...Okay.

127

Alright. I'm sorry if that was even remotely offensive to any sort of demographic or community. Bjarni said he's making some coffee and some pancakes in the morning, so don't mind me if I just teleport to the future, right?

128

Morning! A brief lesson on the animals of the Lonely Island.

129

Sheep. Puffin.

130

Seals. A handsome guy.

131

So we're about to eat. But the fog just disappeared for, like, 15 minutes.

132

It's already back. I was able to snag some pictures, make some TikToks.

133

Emma <i></i>: Don't be surprised if one day I just...

134

Ryan: I found it! Let's go eat breakfast!

135

Ryan: Alright. Bjarni: Yeah.

136

Ryan: Breakfast is served.

137

Ragnar: Looking good.

138

Ryan: This looks really good.

139

So the time has finally come.

140

I've built up the confidence to ask if a billionaire owns this place.

141

And why this house is all by itself here.

142

And Bjarni's answer was: that it's not.

143

So this was the first loneliest house in the world.

144

And that's the new one.

145

So this isn't that lonely.

146

There's...there's 2 houses.

147

Oh, my gosh! Bjarni says that most people think this place was built for bird scientists to study the famous puffins.

148

Bjarni: The bird scientist...they keep their stuff here.

149

6-12 guys stayed here.

150

Ryan: Really?

151

Bjarni: Yeah. Ryan: But that's pretty much all he can tell me.

152

So I'm gonna go look for Jeff Bezos in the pantry.

153

This is the pantry. How many days do you guys think you could survive off of this food right here? Ragnar: About a week, I would think.

154

Ryan: A week? This is the workshop?

155

Ragnar: Yeah. So pretty much here we have paints for the window and all kind of tools, because there's no hardware store in Italy.

156

So we pretty much have everything.

157

Ryan: This is the bathroom.

158

Come on in! Got a sink here.

159

Toothpaste. A mirror with a handsome guy in it.

160

A shower. Nice toilet. Haven't used it yet, which...you know...

161

You know what I'm talking about. 48 hours.

162

Yeah, that's still happening.

163

Um...And then out of nowhere, Ragnar got a call from the sailor back home that the seas are pretty calm right now, and we should probably leave.

164

Otherwise, we might be stuck here for another week.

165

And my flight leaves tomorrow, so...

166

Well, one thing's for sure.

167

I know where I'm going in a zombie apocalypse.

168

Thanks, guys! Thanks, guys!

169

I'm not constipated anymore.

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.
