Creazione lezione...
1
Hello everyone!
2
Today we have a new style of video that has never been done before on this channel.
3
I was inspired by another English teacher's video where she's doing basically this, but as always I'm gonna put my own spin on it.
4
Her example sentences are just not how we talk in real life and I wanted to make more realistic sentences.
5
So it's the same kind of activity we're going to do a repeat after me.
6
I'm going to say it once and I'm going to pause and be quiet for you to repeat after me.
7
And then I'm going to say it again and you could say it again.
8
And then at the end, I will say it all together and you can shadow me or you can pause the video and you can imitate me.
9
I'm going to really try to say it exactly how we would say it in real life with the rhythm, with the attitude, the tone, everything super normal.
10
It should not sound like English from a book because like I said, so often these English teaching videos are like, it's like somebody's reading a book.
11
It's not how we talk.
12
Okay.
13
So let's get into it.
14
Out of nowhere, it started downpouring.
15
Out of nowhere, it started downpouring.
16
But luckily I had my rain jacket.
17
but luckily I had my rain jacket
18
but I still had a long way to go but I still had a long way to go
19
so by the time I got there so by the time I got there my shoes were soaked my shoes were soaked
20
All right, so altogether, out of nowhere, it started downpouring, but luckily I had my rain jacket, but I still had a long way to go.
21
So when I got there, or by the time I got there, my shoes were soaked.
22
All right, so out of nowhere, it's like suddenly, all of a sudden, it started downpouring.
23
Okay, started pouring, started downpouring, we say both.
24
But luckily, I had my rain jacket, but thankfully, I had my rain jacket.
25
Thank God I had my rain jacket.
26
I'm just giving you some alternatives here, but I still had a long way to go.
27
So by the time I got there, or so when I finally got there, so when I got home, my shoes were soaked, completely wet, completely drenched.
28
All right, next one.
29
Is your dog friendly? Can I pet him? Can I pet him?
30
I used to have a dog just like this when I was a kid.

36

37

38

39

40
One time he got hit by a car, but he survived.
41
Thankfully, he died of old age.
42
All right.
43
Is your dog friendly?
44
Can I pet him?
45
Can I pet him?
46
It's like, can I touch him?
47
We use this with animals when we go like this to dogs and cats.
48
That's petting.
49
Can I pet him?
50
I used to have a dog just like this when I was a kid.
51
I used to have a dog.
52
I used to.
53
I used to.
54
I used to have a dog.
55
One time he got hit by a car, but he survived.
56
One time he got hit by a car, but he survived.
57
Buddy.
58
Buddy. But he.
59
Thankfully, he died of old age.
60
Old age.
61
All right, next one.
62
I was obsessed with the singer when I was a kid.
63
I was obsessed with the singer when I was a kid.
64
When I was like 13 I used to memorize all of the lyrics of all of his songs.
65
When I was like 13 I used to memorize all of the lyrics of all of his songs.
66
Honestly, I haven't been to many concerts in my life.
67
Honestly, I haven't been to many concerts in my life.
68
But I had to go to this one.
69
But I had to go to this one.
70
All right, all together.
71
I was obsessed with the singer when I was a kid.
72
When I was like 13, I used to memorize all of the lyrics of all of his songs.
73
Honestly, I haven't been to many concerts in my life, but I had to go to this one.
74
Also, by the way, if I accidentally say the wrong thing, like if it's not exactly word for word,
75
it's just because I'm not reading the script like word for word.
76
I'm just thinking from like my memory.
77
I'm just like thinking about generally what I'm trying to say.
78
It's just another way of saying the same thing.
79
All right.
80
So it doesn't matter.
81
All right.
82
So I was obsessed.
83
I was obsessed.
84
Very common.
85
We say this all the time.
86
I was obsessed with the singer when I was a kid.
87
When I was like 13, I used to memorize all of the lyrics of all of his songs.
88
So, and I was like 13, like 13.
89
Like, I don't know exactly 13.
90
If it was exactly, if it was 12, 14, don't know.
91
Honestly, I haven't been to many concerts in my life.
92
You could say, haven't really gone to many concerts in my life.
93
Gone to, been to, same thing.
94
But I had to go to this one.
95
I had to go to this one.
96
You see where we put the emphasis like we emphasize certain words like of the sentence in
97
because if you emphasize other words it kind of changes the meaning.
98
So it's important where you stress the word you know in the sentence like the rhythm is important.
99
All right next one.
100
I was gonna wear this shirt and these pants.
101
I was gonna wear this shirt and these pants.
102
But then I remembered we're going out to eat.
103
But then I remembered we're going out to eat.
104

110

111
I was going to wear this shirt and these pants, but then I remembered we're going out to eat.
112
And I don't want to stain this white shirt because I just got it.
113
So actually, you know what?
114
I'm going to wear this purple one instead.
115
All right.
116
We're going out to eat.
117
This is how we say like going to eat at a restaurant, going out to eat, going out to eat, I don't want to stain.
118
I don't want to stain this white shirt.
119
Stain is a verb.
120
It's also the noun.
121
You can get a stain on your shirt.
122
You can stain your shirt.
123

127
It's new.
128

151
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just going to drink it.
152
All right.
153
Pretty straightforward.
154
What did we think about this activity?
155
The hardest part is just saying it all with the correct pronunciation,
156
with the correct like rhythm and enunciation.
157
Like that's, that's the hardest and like the most important part.
158
The actual words and phrases, the actual language is quite simple that we use on a day-to-day basis.
159
It's like B1, B2 English.
160
It's just that we're saying it quickly and we are not enunciating everything.
161
You know, the words are running together.
162
Instead of, I just did it, we say, I just did it.
163
I just did it.
164
That's the hardest part.
165
You don't have to use all the contracted speech, but you have to be prepared to understand we're going to make everything run together when we speak.
166
I would love to make more videos like this.
167
Keep speaking, keep practicing, and I'll see you in the next one.
168
Bye-bye.

Obiettivi di parlato per questo video
Questo video è perfetto per chi vuole superare un traguardo chiave: parlare inglese come un nativo, con ritmo, intonazione e atteggiamento reali. Non è solo una pratica di ripetizione, ma un modo per internalizzare come le frasi vengono pronunciate nella vita quotidiana, evitando lo "stile libro" che spesso rende il parlato artificiale. Se vuoi migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la fluidità, questo è il tuo tool: con l'approccio "repeat-after-me" e lo shadowing, impari a imitare la pronuncia naturale e a costruire frasi coerenti.
Banca di frasi riutilizzabili
- "Out of nowhere" (Di colpo, Senza preavviso) – Per descrivere eventi improvvisi: "Out of nowhere, it started downpouring" (Di colpo, ha iniziato a piovere a catinelle).
- "But luckily" (Ma fortunatamente) – Per contrastare una situazione negativa con un elemento positivo: "But luckily I had my rain jacket" (Ma fortunatamente avevo la giacca impermeabile).
- "I used to have" (Una volta avevo) – Per parlare di esperienze passate: "I used to have a dog just like this" (Una volta avevo un cane proprio come questo).
- "Thankfully" (Fortunatamente, Per fortuna) – Per esprimere sollievo: "Thankfully, he died of old age" (Fortunatamente, è morto di vecchiaia).
Correggi i tuoi punti deboli
Il video si concentra su due aspetti cruciali: la pronuncia colloquiale e il ritmo. Molti apprendisti sbagliano a pronunciare frasi come "started downpouring" (iniziò a piovere a catinelle) o "my shoes were soaked" (le mie scarpe erano bagnate) perché usano una intonazione troppo lenta o "corretta". Con lo shadowing – una tecnica dove ripeti immediatamente dopo il nativo – impari a seguire il flusso naturale, a ridurre gli accenti stranieri e a usare le pause giuste. Se cerchi un shadowing site o un modo per esercitare lo shadow speak, questo video è un ottimo punto di partenza: la ripetizione guidata e l'esposizione a frasi reali ti aiuteranno a trasformare la tua pratica di conversazione in inglese da "teorica" a "pratica".
Non sottovalutare il potere della ripetizione: anche 10 minuti al giorno con questo tipo di esercizi ti faranno notare progressi rapidi. Ricorda: l'obiettivo è parlare come si parla nella vita vera – e questo video ti mostra esattamente come farlo!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verbo — un’abitudine o uno stato passato che non è più vero | used to have · used to memorize |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | been done · was inspired · were soaked |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | has never been done · haven't been · haven't really gone |
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ing | started downpouring · started pouring · Keep speaking |
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.
