I'm good.
12
How are you doing?
13
I got a couple of questions for you from Vogue.
14
What's the first thing you notice in somebody when you see them for the first time?
15
Like what's the first thing you look for?
16
The first thing you see is someone's face, unless you're looking at their shoes.
17
I usually tend to look at their skin, their teeth, their smile.
18
And then after that, it's more about like whatever energy they're giving off.
19
That's really, really important because all of that prettiness could go to shit if your demeanor is like, why?
20
Most fellas, not myself, but most fellas look at the ass.
21
You feel me?
22
But you know, skin is definitely one of them.
23
The good news is, you know, ass has skin.
24
So thank you guys.
25
That's a fact.
26
For noticing our skin.
27
How would you describe your skin type?
28
My skin type is just as complicated as men are.
29
Yeah, you wasn't ready for that.
30
Cause y'all always try to say women are complicated.
31
It's y'all.
32
I have gone through many skincare changes within my journey.
33
Started from acne for sure, all the way to sensitivity and melasma and being a black woman with not knowing I needed to use SPF.
34
I've learned a lot.
35
So what is your skin type?
36
Handsome.
37
What's your favorite curse word?
38
It means so much in four letters.
39
You mean like, like, you know, I just like drop my, you know, my glass of juice or like.
40
Yeah, it could mean that.
41
Shit could also mean that.
42
True, but I like better.
43
Ah, yes.
44
What's your favorite item that you purchased for less than $20?
45
My last favorite purchase under $20 was definitely a diffuser for my essential oils.
46
That's funny because you're a guy, but that means a lot to us, this really one.
47
That's what's up.
48
Yo, high tops or low tops?
49
High tops for me.
50
Jacket or umbrella?
51
This is a tricky question because my fans might feel like I'm a hypocrite.
52
I've made the most money off of a song call-up.
53
Jacket.
54
Next.
55
Who's your number one beauty icon?
56
is gonna sound very redundant and very cliche but my mother my entire concept of beauty
57
came from her I was always so intrigued by her I wanted to dress like her I wanted to look like
58
her I wouldn't do my hair like her do my makeup like her she was a silk skirt for beauty products and perfume and makeup.
59
It's so weird that it's come full circle that all of these ventures are things that I've extended my creativity to and has been a part of my brand overall.
60
So I learned from the best.
61
You know, I had the best teacher, my mom.
62
Yo, what's the one part of the beauty industry you wish you could change?
63
I wish that the leaders of the beauty industry were a more diverse set of pioneers who have not just experienced the culture,
64
but have experienced a negligence in the industry, whether it comes to their skin tone or skin type.
65
I feel like there's so many voids to be filled and we will only know that by the pioneers that have experienced those voids and the lack of their representation in the industry.
66
And so I think by having an eclectic array of skin types, skin tones, different cultures and people and representations of religions and cultures,
67
you would have the most information on where to go next.
68
What was the hardest part about working with me on Fenty Skin?
69
I can tell you what that is.
70
Not laughing the whole time.
71
The hardest part of working with you for Fenty Skin was getting your approval on your images.
72
Because your skin is pretty regardless.
73
That's why we hired you, you know what I'm saying?
74
They were like, I can't pick which one of my pores are smaller in which image.
75
I'm just playing, but yeah.
76
It's not hard working with you.
77
Ayo, what was your first red carpet look?
78
Can you remember that?
79
Young, dumb, skinny.
80
And the inspiration for my future and my evolution.
81
This had to change.
82
It's crazy.
83
So what's next?
84
What's your favorite look of mine?
85
Oh, you know what I really love?
86
Those like bell-bottom capris with the bunny ear, Scully gap.
87
Oh, good looking.
88
I love that outfit so much.
89
Like I wish I could wear that like as a girl, but I can't.
90
Yeah, you just have to.
91
Tits out.
92
I mean, I could.
93
I already have.
94
But that outfit for sure is one of my favorites.
95
It's so fun.
96
It's so quirky and weirdo and you.
97
What's your favorite color to wear?
98
I love black, I love brown, I love gray.
99
But I really, really love Lime Green.
100
Lime Green could be for anything.
101
Makeup, nails, hair, outfits, different fabrics, different pieces of furniture.
102
I love Lime Green.
103
Nah, I can't front Lime Green, go with everything.
104
Like, I love that shit too.
105
I know.
106
All right, what's your favorite show to binge watch when you at home, like right now?
107
Oh my God, this is gonna probably be really embarrassing.
108
You think, what?
109
Let the people know.
110
We wanna know.
111
No, but I don't know what my favorite, but usually it starts with the Real Housewives of.
112
Everything.
113
The Real Housewives of everything, huh?
114
Nice.
115
How do you stay mentally and inspirationally aligned?
116
That's a good one.
117
Being mentally and inspirationally aligned, I mean, it calls for two different sides of my brain and my spirit, because one is a lot more logical.
118
One is a lot of like talking myself into whatever I wanna feel or whatever I wanna evoke.
119
Inspirationally, it's me, what I'm pulling in.
120
It's like, what do I wanna bring into my spirit, my mind, my logic, my being, my ideas, my creative space.
121
That's where the inspiration goes.
122
I want that to come in and in a way it comes in one way and it's evoked through my art in another way.
123
And that could be inspiration for someone else in the future.
124
And so it's kind of just those two things are kind of the yin and the yang and the core of who I am as an artist.
125
Facts.
126
Art.
127
I dig that.
128
Damn, that's a dope ass question.
129
I've never been asked that shit.
130
That's weird.
131
I love this question.
132
I feel like I just found myself.
133
What do you wish people were talking more about in the beauty industry.
134
The topic of inclusivity has become something that our brand has fallen upon just by a sincere and organic perspective.
135
Like my idea of beauty has always been like a Black woman.
136
So the way that I've expanded that idea was doing skincare in a more gender neutral idea where men feel included as well because men love their skin
137
and they take care of it, but they feel obligated almost to only use products that are for men because anything beyond that seems like it's just too feminine.
138
It's not for them.
139
They're not allowed.
140
They don't have permission.
141
And you came from the hood, but you pretty and you like your fashion, but like you represent a lot of male criterias, which,
142
they don't really allow themselves to be until they see their representation.
143
And you've represented a lot of those men for me.
144
Big deal for me to have you be a part of that.
145
Pleasure's all mine.
146
I wanna say thank you for, you know, supporting me at a time when I just came home from Jill.
147
Thank you for identifying my beauty as a man.
148
You know what I'm saying?
149
I appreciate you.
150
And like, for real, for real though, you know, not only that, thank you for answering a lot of questions that I didn't really know.
151
I really appreciate that too.
152
This was tight.
153
It's good catching up with you and everything.
154
All right.
155
Hey, shout outs to Vogue, shout outs GQ, shout outs bad girl Riri, shout outs Fit T Skin.
156
Shout outs ASAP, you all right?
157
Yeah.
158
All right guys, if you want to see the tables turn, just head over to GQ to watch me ask ASAP Rocky bunch of questions face to face.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?

Questo video offre un'opportunità unica per praticare la conversazione in inglese attraverso un'intervista informale tra due celebrità, A$AP Rocky e Rihanna. Quando si guarda e si ascolta attentamente, si possono notare diversi aspetti della comunicazione verbale e non verbale, che sono fondamentali per chiunque voglia imparare l'inglese con youtube. Praticare la conversazione con questo video aiuta gli studenti a sviluppare non solo la comprensione linguistica, ma anche le capacità di espressione orale. Il contesto casual di un'intervista rende l'apprendimento più piacevole e naturale, permettendo ai learners di imparare frasi e vocaboli utili in situazioni di vita reale.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

Durante il dialogo, A$AP Rocky e Rihanna utilizzano varie strutture grammaticali e frasi che possono essere utili per chi pratica l'inglese. Ecco alcune delle più rilevanti:

  • Domande dirette: "What's the first thing you notice in somebody?" Le domande dirette sono essenziali per creare conversazioni coinvolgenti.
  • Espressioni colloquiali: Frasi come "you feel me?" mostrano come l'inglese parlato spesso includa espressioni idiomatiche.
  • Descrizioni personali: Rihanna utilizza frasi come "My skin type is just as complicated as men are." Questa struttura può aiutare gli studenti a descrivere sé stessi e le proprie esperienze.
  • Confronti: Concetti come "most fellas look at the ass" evidenziano l'uso di confronti per esprimere opinioni o osservazioni.

Utilizzare queste strutture nella pratica di conversazione in inglese migliora la fluidità e la naturalezza del parlato.

Trappole di pronuncia comuni

Durante il video, ci sono alcune parole e frasi che possono presentare difficoltà di pronuncia per i non madrelingua. Ecco alcuni esempi:

  • "ass": Questa parola, utilizzata in un contesto informale, può essere difficile per alcuni a causa della sua pronuncia. Assicurati di praticare il suono "a" di come viene pronunciata in frasi colloquiali.
  • "skin": Fai attenzione a pronunciare distintamente la "s" iniziale e la "k". La lettura attenta ti aiuterà a evitare confusione.
  • "energy": Questo termine può essere imbattuto nel gergo giovanile; presta attenzione alla "g", che deve essere pronunciata in modo chiaro.

Praticare queste parole attraverso il shadowing in inglese può migliorare la tua pronuncia e renderti più sicuro nel parlare.

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.
