1
Do you remember your first kiss with your partner?
2
Yes.
3
Was it amazing?
4
I just remember it being like, ugh.
5
You know that feeling?
6
And it feels, it's like, you know the moment.
7
What happened?
8
It sounds so deep.
9
I wanna know.
10
I just, well, we were in a nightclub.
11
And he, which sounds a bit, you know, whatever.
12
I met my husband in a nightclub.
13
I loved it.
14
Well we met on Ria.
15
You know Ria, the dating app?
16
Yeah.
17
We met on there.
18
And then you went to a nightclub for your first date?
19
He was a bit, he wasn't really as interested as I'd hoped.
20
So I was like, right, I'm gonna try something else.
21
I'll go down a different avenue.
22
He's not into it.
23
So I thought, right, whatever.
24
And then fast forward like a few months, I was in the studio with the girls and it was actually Jessie, which she was like, why don't you just get on real?
25
And I was like, I'm not going on a date and app.
26
I'm not desperate.
27
Because again, I thought this is a bit desperado.
28
I don't want to do that.
29
Cause everyone's going to see me on there.
30
And then the girls were like, please can we just make you an account so we can see who's on there? because it would be so funny.
31
Yeah, and I was like, fine.
32
So they're making my profile.
33
They're like, let's put this picture on.
34
Let's do that, let's do that.
35
So anyway, fast forward.
36
A few years back in time, the girls went to a game, NFL or something.
37
Yeah, I don't know about sports.
38
I don't know about sports either, sorry.
39
But they went to a game, and I think it was basketballs involved.
40
And they went, and when they got there, I never went at the time.
41
And the girls went without me.
42
And he actually interviewed the girls.
43
But before he went to interview them, he was like nudging everyone like, is the blonde one there?
44
Is the blonde one there?
45
Is Perry there?
46
Is Perry there?
47
Because he fancied me.
48
And I wasn't there.
49
So he got there and he was like, oh, it's chill.
50
Right, okay, I'll do it.
51
And at the time, it was like, that went by.
52
And then fast forward, I'm on real.
53
We're swiping through all these guys.
54
And he popped up.
55
And Jesse was like, oh my God, girls, it's that guy who interviewed us.
56
He's an interviewer.
57
And I was like, oh, was he nice?
58
And I'm like, if he does interviews, why is he wearing football kits the whole time?
59
Me and the girls being so like not down with the football.
60
We were like, maybe he just plays football as well.
61
So then Jesse was like, trust me, I know your type.
62
He's so cute, you'll like him, match him.
63
And I was like, fine.
64
So we matched on Rhea, but like I said to you, he wasn't that keen.
65
We like messaged like back and forth, like maybe a few odd messages and it was nothing.
66
And it just like, I wanted him to be like really into me and he wasn't.
67
So I thought, well, I'll pass then, whatever, not interested.
68
And then we were in Europe and we were watching Gogglebox, the charity stand up to cancer version and the England squad were on there.
69
And Alex was one of the guys on there and he was like, yeah.
70
And he was like giving it the big end
71
and he was like really funny and he came across really sensitive
72
and he was talking about his mom who sadly had breast cancer.
73
And I was just watching her thinking, oh, he seems really nice.
74
And then Jessie was like, message him right now and say, why don't you take me for a drink?
75
And I was like, don't be so ridiculous.
76
I'm not that forward.
77
I was like, I'm ill just thinking about it.
78
Oh, it's so fun.
79
I love this.
80
And she was like, message him.
81
say, when are you gonna take me for a drink?
82
And I was like, really, should I think I should?
83
She was like, yeah.
84
That's really hot, yeah, when are you gonna take me for a drink?
85
Yeah, like, do you wanna take me for a drink?
86
When should we go, like, when are you gonna take me out?
87
And I text him as we were taken off, so I was like, oh my God, the whole time I was in the air, I was like, cut, you never see.
88
Was it a long flight?
89
It wasn't that long, it was Germany, but it was still long enough for me to be working myself up into a frenzy.
90
So I was getting a bit hot under the collar, I was like, oh God, Jess, what if he doesn't reply?
91
What if he's not into me?
92
It's just embarrassing, I've just asked him to take me out.
93
He might pie me off.
94
She's like, he won't pie you off.
95
So I messaged him saying like, your Gogglebox episode was really cool.
96
Like, do you want to go out for a drink or whatever?
97
Do you want to take me out?
98
And then he replied like, yeah, it's a school night tonight.
99
As in football, he was so focused on football.
100
I could barely get him out the house.
101
It was so annoying, but I was like, fair enough.
102
You're good at your job.
103
And eventually we met up and I just instantly, The second I seen him at Cirque nightclub doorway,
104
I knew he was mine.
105
He was for me.
106
I was like, oh my God, I'm obsessed.
107
He was so handsome and he was dressed so nice and his hair was so nice.
108
And I was just like, fuck, I love him.
109
Fuck, but I was single for so long and everybody gave me the ick.
110
Everybody.
111
Really?
112
Everyone I dated, I was like, it's probably not going to go anywhere.
113
It didn't seem like, like everything just seemed like really, like just like, yeah, there, whatever.
114
It didn't seem serious.
115
And I was like, I'm going to be on my own forever.
116
I'm never going to find anybody again.
117
Like, this is it for me.
118
Until you got to Cirque.
119
And then I met him in Cirque and I was like, I love you.
120
Well, I didn't say that.
121
I said it in my head.
122
And then he invited me to a gig.
123
Like that night, nothing happened.
124
You didn't even have a snog on the first night?
125
Are you joking?
126
How did you not kiss him on the first night?
127
I really wanted to, but I was like, just don't, just don't.
128
I wouldn't have been able to not.
129
I fought it.
130
He asked me to go home with him and I was like, no, thank you.
131
You are amazing.
132
I know.
133
We talk about it now and it's actually hilarious because he didn't want to ask.
134
His friend told him to ask.
135
So anyway, it's just like, the whole story's hilarious, but like fast forward, we just kind of like, I fell from really quickly,
136
I think, because he was just so genuine and really lovely and just like funny as hell.
137
He's the funniest person I've ever met in my life.
138
Like he makes me cackle.
139
Like he's just brilliant.
140
Are they just great?
141
I know.
142
That's beautiful.
143
I'm so happy for you.
144
Oh, thank you.
145
That's so lovely.
146
I honestly love that man with every inch of my bit.
147
If he had a zip, I'd fucking crawl in it.
148
I'm obsessed with him.
149
And he has had to teach me to stand up for myself because I'm not good at it.
150
I hate confrontation.
151
I don't want to argue with people.
152
I don't want to even have out the conversation.
153
I just don't want it.
154
I'd rather avoid it.
155
It's like my anxiety.
156
Just protect it's not there.
157
But he's like, babe, you have to stand up for yourself.
158
You're now a businesswoman.
159
You're now running the show.
160
It's on you.
161
You tell people what you want.
162
What makes you happy?
163
And I'm like, I couldn't.
164
He's like, yes, you can.
165
Let me have the conversation then.
166
I'm like, no, imagine.
167
He's like, let me talk to them for you then.
168
And I'm like, no, I'll do it myself.
169
And I've had to be in situations and meetings and hold my own and be a strong person, which I'm really not good at.
170
It's out of my comfort zone.
171
But being with Alex has helped me so much.
172
He's like, babe, just do it like this.
173
Therapy has helped me so much.
174
I love a shit sandwich.
175
It's my favorite thing.
176
You give them a compliment.
177
You big them up.
178
You say, what you do, this is great you don't say but you say and
179
and the shit bit i'm noticing the shit
180
and then you add another little layer on top it's like
181
it's a shit sandwich i love it it's like handling the confrontation i've had to really work on
182
that especially being solo now
183
because i would just be like jay do you tell him leon you say something
184
and i would just be like somebody say something and if If I had to step up for the girls, I would.
185
Because I think when you're trying to stand up for other people, you have this like, something comes over you and you're like, I can handle this, because it's for them.
186
It's harder to advocate for yourself.
187
I don't want to do it.
188
People think I'm an arsehole.
189
Again, I think this is a female issue more so, because if your partner was to stand up in a meeting and say, I don't like this, whatever, I'd be like, oh yeah,
190
he's a man, knows what he wants, whatever.
191
Whereas for us, it's like, who does she think she is?
192
Having an opinion or something.
193
I mean, it's not always like that, But that's, I think, our inherent fear is that people are going to go, what a fucking bitch.
194
Yeah.
195
Because look at, she thinks she knows everything and she's saying what she wants.
196
But I think it's also because we sort of doubt, we've stopped trusting ourselves.
197
And actually, we do know what's best for us.
198
We do know what we want.
199
But how brilliant that he's such a great encourager.
200
I love it.
201
It's so good.
202
I love that you're obsessed with him.
203
I am.
204
I honestly, I just stare at him sometimes.
205
I think, God, I hope he loves me how I love him.
206
Like, it's wild.
207
I'm obsessed with him.
208
Have you seen Nobody Wants This on Netflix?
209
No, not yet.
210
Is it good?
211
Can you promise me that you'll watch it tonight?
212
Okay, I'll watch it.
213
There is.
214
I've just bored my whole team with this.
215
I am so obsessed.
216
There's the best kiss you've ever seen in your life in this show.
217
And all my friends were bigging it up, and I hate when people big things up, so I was like I'm doing to you.
218
I was like, I'm not watching it.
219
Out of protest, I'm not watching it.
220
And I thought, I'll watch episode one.
221
I was like, okay, I quite like it.
222
Episode two, I was like...
223
Really?
224
This kiss is so excellent in every way.
225
I don't want to ruin it for you, but you will love it.

Cosa imparerai con questo video

Questo dialogo è perfetto per esercitare due abilità cruciali nella pratica di conversazione in inglese: la narrazione di storie personali con fluidità e la gestione delle pause naturali. Imparerai a connettere frasi come un madrelingua, evitando "buchi" nel discorso, e a usare espressioni colloquiali come "fast forward" o "desperado" in contesti reali. Inoltre, migliorerai la capacità di descrivere emozioni e situazioni informali, fondamentale per conversazioni spontanee.

Ascolta questi suoni chiave

Nel video, nota come le parole si "incollo" a causa del connected speech. Ad esempio, "I'm gonna" (da "I am going to") e "don't wanna" (da "do not want to") sono riduzioni tipiche. Ascolta anche il linking tra "a few months" (sente come "a few months" diventa quasi "afewmonths"?) e "it was actually" (la "t" di "it" si attenua). Questi dettagli fanno la differenza tra un inglese "studioso" e uno naturale.

Parla come un madrelingua con lo shadowing

Il shadowing in inglese è il metodo perfetto per imitare il ritmo e l'accento di Perrie Edwards. Prova a fare shadow speak: ripeti le frasi subito dopo di lei, cercando di copiare la sua intonazione (alta quando è entusiasta, più bassa nelle pause) e lo stress sulle parole chiave come "amazing", "desperado" o "fancied". Nota come elle usa pause brevi dopo "Well" o "So" per creare suspance. Usa questo video come shadowing site gratuito: ripeti le scene più brevi (5-10 secondi) finché non senti che il tuo flusso è fluido. Con la pratica, noterai che la tua pronuncia diventa più naturale e la tua confidenza cresce!

Non sottovalutare il potere del shadow speech: è un modo veloce per internalizzare le regole del discorso colloquiale senza studiare grammaticali a secco. Ogni ripetizione è un passo verso una conversazione più fluida. Comincia oggi stesso e senti la differenza!

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

StrutturaNel video
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adessoI've just asked · I've ever met · has helped
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fawere taken · was dressed
Past continuous was/were + -ing — un’azione in corso in un momento del passatowere watching · was talking · was just watching
Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fareshould I think · should we go

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.
