Can you understand fast English?

Nobody wanted to work in your department because it's not actual fashion.

So I just like got it.

Isn't that cool?

Very.

Today we are going to test your comprehension of fast English

and we're going to do that with a scene from The Devil Wears Prada 2.

By the way, if you like this movie, definitely check out my shadowing video of The Devil Wears Prada 1.

It was a lot of fun.

But now we are going to focus on listening

and first we are going to listen to the full clip

then i'm going to ask you a few comprehension questions it's going to be really quick

so let's see if you got all the information right then we're going to listen to it again

and then you'll have to transcribe specific parts well you won't actually have to transcribe it

but we'll do a quick fill in the blanks exercise to see

if you got all the words not just the meaning and then we'll listen to it again we'll slow down

and we'll uncover together all the words and if needed, we might even repeat it together.

Okay?

So, are you ready?

You can also get a pen and a paper, close the door and let's get started.

But before that, if you're new to me, then hi, my name is Hadar.

I'm a non-native speaker of English and I'm here to help you speak English with clarity, confidence and freedom.

Shadowing and listening exercises are a huge part of the work that I do.

I come from a theatre background,

And I feel like shadowing and repeating other people's voices is a great way to understand the rhythm,

intonation, and stress of the language.

If you want to check out my website, go to hadarshemesh.com or follow me on social media for daily lessons.

Also, to make sure that you know, if you like pronunciation, I have a free pronunciation masterclass where I share with you some of the best strategies to improve your pronunciation

and to understand it, things that I only share with my students.

So grab your free seat.

The link is in the description below.

All right, let us get started.

I'm going to play the clip at regular speed, and then I'm going to ask you some comprehension questions. Are you Andy?

Honestly, I didn't get all of it when I listened to it for the first time.

Okay?

So you are in good company.

But now let's break down the areas that might have felt a little less clear.

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.
