1
I feel like an adventure and I feel like teaching English.
2
So let's take an adventure today.
3
I'm going to hop a train to New York City.
4
Let's see what we see and see what we learn.
5
Okay, so I thought I was leaving all the time in the world,
6
but traffic is pretty much a crawl.
7
And now I'm thinking there is a chance I will miss my train.
8
All the time in the world is just a phrase that means plenty of time.
9
Oh, don't worry about that.
10
We have all the time in the world to get it done.
11
If traffic is just crawling,
12
that means, of course, it's very slow.
13
You're seeing lots of brake lights,
14
which you don't want to see when you're running late for a train.
15
Will we make it?
16
It's a nail-biter.
17
If something is a nail-biter,
18
that means it's a situation with a lot of tension causing anxiety.
19
The train is gonna leave at its appointed time,
20
whether I'm there or not,
21
and I really want to make it,
22
and I'm not sure if I'm going to, so it's a nail-biter.
23
All right, we just cut in.
24
We have eight minutes until the train leaves.
25
Traffic is thick, it is heavy,
26
and we're not too close.
27
It's getting down to the wire.
28
We made it, and look at this station.
29
Isn't it gorgeous?
30
So I get on the train,
31
and one of the best things about Philly is how quickly and easily you can get to New York City.
32
I hopped on and zipped up there in about 75 minutes.
33
Then when you arrive, you're right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
34
We made it to New York City.
35
It's cold.
36
But we made it.
37
And how are we starting the adventure?
38
I know this doesn't sound like how most people start their adventure but I'm thinking about exercise.
39
I'm thinking about trying a drop-in-hot yoga class.
40
Haven't done it in 8 years.
41
But my body is just saying that that would feel good.
42
So let's try.
43
It's one of those days where it's so cold that my eyes are watering.
44
Has this ever happened to you?
45
Chili.
46
When I used to live in New York City,
47
I did hot yoga all the time.
48
But since I've moved to Philly,
49
I just have not been able to get into a groove with it, you know?
50
Just can't get into a routine.
51
So I'm excited to do it after so many years.
52
Okay, we made it to the building.
53
We're looking for the third floor.
54
I decided to take the stairs rather than the elevator.
55
Third is sort of a tricky word, isn't it?
56
F. Er.
57
D. This hallway looks like it's not actually supposed to be used.
58
Maybe I should have taken the elevator.
59
I got in there, paid,
60
grabbed my water and mat, and did the class.
61
Yeah, that's okay.
62
Yeah, I'll grab that.
63
It's okay.
64
I was taking my time.
65
Oh, okay, I will.
66
Thank you.
67
Yeah, I did it.
68
I'm glad it was 60 instead of 90.
69
My ankle was popping like crazy.
70
But it felt good.
71
If you follow me on social media,
72
then you may have known that back in August,
73
I severed a ligament in my ankle.
74
And I'm still doing physical therapy for that it really took me out.
75
And I've noticed that as I do things like going up on my toes,
76
things that strain my ankle,
77
that it's making a popping noise quite often.
78
To be honest, I'm actually shocked I made it through the 60-minute class.
79
On such a cold day,
80
the hot yoga felt good but not being that sweaty,
81
so I did take a quick shower before I got on with my day.
82
Have a good one.
83
Thank you.
84
Have a good one.
85
This is something you can say when you're leaving somebody.
86
It's like saying, have a good day.
87
If someone says this to you,
88
you can say, you too.
89
I just realized that it's 2 p.m and I haven't had lunch yet.
90
I haven't had breakfast yet,
91
and I did hot yoga,
92
but I don't want to ruin my dinner.
93
So I need something to tide myself over.
94
naturally I'm gonna go with hot chocolate.
95
My favorite place to get hot chocolate right now in New York City is Eataly.
96
If you have a place you like better,
97
let me know in the comments,
98
because I love hot chocolate.
99
Now I noticed when I ordered my hot chocolate and croissant and they gave it to me,
100
I said, thank you, have a good one.
101
So apparently that is my phrase I use.
102
Thank you.
103
No, that's all right.
104
Thank you.
105
Have a good one.
106
All right.
107
I always like to try a good plain croissant.
108
It's not as good as the one at my hometown coffee shop.
109
That's good.
110
I don't have to come to New York every day for a croissant.
111
That hot chocolate though is bomb.
112
So good.
113
After my snack, I still had a little bit of time to kill before meeting my friends.
114
So I decided to go to a camera store to buy a few things I needed for my camera.
115
Hi, I've lost my little wrist cord that goes in there.
116
Do you guys sell those as an accessory?
117
Wait, I think I found it.
118
Do you need it with the phone?
119
Yeah, that.
120
Okay, yeah.
121
Little thing is little.
122
Okay, thank you so much.
123
I thought you meant just the whole time, guys.
124
Oh, no, this whole thing is perfect.
125
Okay.
126
Awesome, thank you.
127
Where do I check out?
128
Thank you.
129
You should go downstairs.
130
Okay.
131
Thank you so much.
132
B&H.
133
Had everything I need.
134
Absolutely incredible.
135
In and out in 10 minutes.
136
The best part of my day just happened.
137
It's when I got to meet up with my friends.
138
This is Renee.
139
Hi.
140
Renee.
141
So great to have you in the city.
142
Oh, it's the best.
143
So good to be here.
144
It's cold, but it's clear.
145
It's Christmas time there are lights everywhere.
146
I love it.
147
Renee, how was your day?
148
It was pretty great.
149
I had a few meetings.
150
I went to lunch, had a working meeting.
151
We don't have offices, individual offices,
152
so I sat different places on the couch.
153
Oh yeah, moved around depending on the type of work that I had to do.
154
Nice, sounds like a good day.
155
And now the best part of my day is seeing my friend in this amazing city.
156
Yeah, it's great.
157
Have you ever thought it's awkward to walk with your arms straight out?
158
This part is not going in the video.
159
I have thought that it's awkward.
160
I've been trying to make it the least amount of awkward as possible.
161
Wait, I need to take a photo of you taking this.
162
See if you can get us in the viewfinder.
163
Okay.
164
Sawyer said he wanted knit mittens and I found some.
165
They are so cute.
166
How fabulous are those?
167
So I had to get some for Stoney.
168
All right.
169
Is there tax on top of that?
170
No. Okay.
171
Okay, 10.
172
20. There you go.
173
Thank you.
174
Thank you so much.
175
No problem.
176
My kids will be very happy.
177
You stay warm.
178
Thank you too.
179
Success!
180
Today has been the most fruitful day.
181
The most fruitful day.
182
Alright.
183
Time Square, baby.
184
If you have a fruitful day, you are productive.
185
You got a lot of stuff done.
186
Then we met up with my friend Annie and had a very energetic hug.
187
If something hits just right, that means it's perfect.
188
That is hitting just right.
189
That is hitting just right.
190
Then we met up with two more dear friends and the five of us had an absolutely fantastic dinner.
191
These four friends and a few others have all been in my videos before.
192
Like this one from quite a while ago,
193
10 years actually, where we talk about places and idioms.
194
There was a situation which was not ideal.
195
It was a bump in the road.
196
Bump in the road.
197
Now that's also an idiom.
198
Could you explain that?
199
I went to Florida.
200
The other idiom you came up with was hot seat.
201
Yes, it was.
202
Can you make up a sentence with hot seat?
203
Man, I hate being in the hot seat when topic turns to something I am not quite comfortable answering.
204
Bye everybody!
205
Oh yeah!
206
Oh, bye!
207
Bye!
208
Love you!
209
Bye!
210

  1. Ascolta attentamente: Guarda il video più volte per familiarizzare con il contenuto e le espressioni usate dall'oratore.

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.
