Creazione lezione...
1
Another record month.
2
Well, thank you. You're the greatest butler on earth.
3
I gotta run.
4
Phil! Skip!
5
You son of a gun, how the hell are you?
6
Great, great. Business is better than ever.
7
How about you?
8
Did you finally get real cutouts?
9
I don't know what you're talking about.
10
Mine are so realistic and 3D, you must have been laughing at one of them like an idiot.
11
How crazy is that, we ran into each other's shopping?
12
Say, how are your kids?
13
Terrific. Yeah, June just took a job at the Container Store.
14
Impressive. I have a kid that's interested in space as well, considering a job at, at NASA, actually.
15
Yeah, he looks like he's got the right stuff.
16
No, I was talking about my daughter.
17
Hey, Dad, Dad guess what?
18
The twins started kicking the second I picked up booze.
19
They're my kids, right?
20
My other daughter.
21
Is it too much for Dylan to let me know where he is? My water could literally break any minute.
22
Am I okay sitting here, or am I in a SeaWorld Splash Zone situation?
23
Claire, your old high school nemesis, Ashley Walls, did she have a daughter?
24
I don't think so. Why?
25
Well, that woman over there looks just like Ashley. But it can't be. She looks happier.
26
Beauty. Ashley Walls.
27
She outdid me at everything.
28
Homecoming queen, field hockey captain, and the summer before we went away to college, she beat me out for an internship at Pritchett's Closets.
29
Claire? Hi.
30
I wanna say, Ashley?
31
Yes. How are you?
32
Hi, Ashley Walls Carnegie.
33
Philip Humphrey Dunphy.
34
So, what have you been up to Ashley?
35
Well, I'm a personal injury lawyer.
36
I have a buddy that makes bank for that.
37
He's not a lawyer, he just tries to get nice cars to hit him.
38
Yeah, he's just kidding.
39
- No, I'm not mom. In fact... - Here, have a candy.
40
Well, that was rude. I just ran into my old health teacher, and she said she always expected to see me pregnant at graduation.
41
Congratulations.
42
Oh, thanks, twins.
43
Sorry I'd be a lot happier about it if I could track their father down.
44
Candy. Look, it's your brother, Mitch.
45
Now he was always a little uptight, wasn't he?
46
Well, he was in high school, - but now he's just the most... - Look you have one job today, young lady, okay, to be supportive.
47
If your dad makes a joke, you will laugh. If he makes a speech, you will what? Applaud.
48
Right. I'm gonna go find my seat.
49
But it was great catching up with you, Claire.
50
No one would blame you if you mentioned you had a daughter graduating from Caltech today.
51
Honey, the moment has passed.
52
I need a pretty good reason to just go waltzing over there, and, she forgot her Program!
53
Yes! - Hey, Claire, you know how you're my go to gal? - Busy.
54
If mathematics doesn't matter, then no one can be certain of anything.
55
And then I've just wasted the last four no sixteen years of my life, and there's no point in me graduating.
56
Okay, I can tell that you're very upset, and you're probably really overtired from finals.
57
But you are gonna regret it if you don't go to graduation.
58
Look, I promise, whatever is bothering you, figure it out after the ceremony. - After?
59
Yes. After implies before.
60
But if one minute ago is the same as zero minutes ago, then before is now, and now is after.
61
Usually when I hear people talking like this are walking through a Taco Bell drive thru.
62
Sweetie, half your life is having your mind blown.
63
I remember when I heard there are more stars in the galaxy than grains of rice in a box of Uncle Ben's.
64
No, there are more galaxies than grains of sand on all the world's beaches.
65
Okay, I can't lose them both.
66
I got this, Alex.
67
I never knew true strength until I met a man with no feet.
68
Wait, no, these cards are not in order.
69
Wait, nobody help her right now!
70
Alex, you're a smart, confident girl.
71
I know that you're gonna make the right decision.
72
Did you just put this watch on me?
73
I have a problem.
74
I say if Alex doesn't want to go to her graduation, that's her decision.
75
Thank you. Luke.
76
As long as you know that whatever's going on here isn't about math.
77
Yeah, I think maybe you're afraid to leave school.
78
What? But your whole life, you've always known exactly what you're supposed to do.
79
Study, get good grades, repeat.
80
Now that's over, and it's scary.
81
Kind of like if zero equaled one.
82
Well, lucky for you, your dummy brother and sister have spent time in the real world.
83
And if we can handle it, you're gonna do just fine.
84
You think? Trust us.
85
Come on, let's go get you graduated!
86
Hold on, that door gets jammed.
87
I have to open it from the inside.
88
I got it. Legend Danner.
89
I still can't get over that commencement speech.
90
Not a single laugh.
91
I'll tell you one element he didn't discover.
92
Hilarioum. Alex Dunphy.
93
We don't want to brag, but, our kids did that.
94
Yeah.

Perché praticare la conversazione con questo video?

Questo estratto da Modern Family presenta una conversazione vivace e ricca di contesti familiari e sociali, ideale per migliorare le proprie abilità di conversazione in inglese. La dinamica tra i personaggi, con interazioni informali e battute umoristiche, offre un’eccellente opportunità di pratica. Utilizzare materiali di questo tipo permette non solo di apprendere nuove espressioni, ma anche di comprendere il tono e la pronuncia in un contesto reale. Sfruttando tecniche di shadowspeak e shadowing in inglese, gli studenti possono ripetere frasi e strutture, migliorando così la loro fluidità e naturalezza nell’uso della lingua.

Grammatica ed Espressioni nel Contesto

Nel video, vengono utilizzati diversi elementi grammaticali ed espressioni che meritano attenzione:

  • Domande retoriche: Frasi come "Am I okay sitting here?" mostrano come le domande possano esprimere ansia o incertezza.
  • Uso di "you know": Questa espressione è spesso utilizzata per coinvolgere l’ascoltatore e mantenere il flusso della conversazione.
  • Contrastare situazioni: L’uso di frasi come "it's your brother, Mitch" per introdurre un nuovo soggetto in modo naturale permette di comprendere come collegare diverse parti della conversazione.
  • Espressioni colloquiali: Frasi come "he looks like he's got the right stuff" mostrano l'uso del linguaggio colloquiale e delle espressioni idiomatiche, utili per rendere il linguaggio più autentico.

Trappole Comuni nella Pronuncia

Durante la visione del video, potrebbero emergere alcune difficoltà di pronuncia. Presta particolare attenzione a:

  • Parole composte: Termini come "personal injury lawyer" possono sembrare complessi. Assicurati di esercitarti sull’intonazione e sulla separazione delle parole.
  • Accenti regionali: I personaggi mostrano diverse inflessioni e accenti; provare a imitarli può aiutarti a migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese complessiva.
  • Termini informali: Espressioni come "son of a gun" potrebbero risultare strane. Rivedere e ripetere queste frasi può facilitare la familiarizzazione con l'inglese parlato nella vita quotidiana.

Praticare la pronuncia inglese attraverso il shadowing in contesti reali come quello di questo video non solo renderà l’apprendimento più coinvolgente, ma contribuirà anche a migliorare la tua sicurezza e capacità comunicativa. Scopri il piacere di conversare in inglese applicando queste tecniche!

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.
