1
Snow White.
2
A long time ago when the snowflakes fell like feathers a queen sat sewing at a window.
3
She pricked her finger on a needle so that three drops of blood fell upon the snow.
4
How pretty her red blood looked dazzling on the whiteness the Queen said ah me
5
if only I had a child with skin as white as snow
6
and lips as red as blood
7
and hair as black as the ebony window in the spring
8
she had a child who was just as she had imagined and everyone called her snow white.
9
But alas, the good queen died and the king married a new queen whose heart was evil.
10
This wicked queen had a magical mirror and when she stood and gazed into it,
11
she asked, mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all and
12
when the mirror replied thou oh queen are the fairest of
13
them all her vain heart rejoiced snow white grew more and more beautiful with every passing year.
14
At last, the time came when the mirror said, Oh Queen, if truth be told,
15
Snow White is fairest, now she is 16 years old.
16
And the Queen almost smashed the mirror in her rage.
17
The next morning she summoned a hunter and gave him orders.
18
Take Snow White out and don't bother to bring back anything but her heart.
19
The hunter led Snow White to the woods where, taking pity on her innocent heart, he told her to run and hide.
20
She ran and ran, cutting herself on brambles.
21
Meanwhile, the hunter returned to the queen with the heart of a deer.
22
Snow White fled until she came upon a cottage in the middle of the woods.
23
The door was open.
24
She went inside and saw that the furniture was child -sized.
25
She curled up on one of the seven little beds and fell asleep.
26
The owners of the cottage were seven dwarfs who spent the day mining for gold in the heart of the mountain.
27
When they came home that night, they lit their seven candles and saw
28
that an uninvited visitor was sleeping in one of their seven beds oh my what a pretty child
29
one of them exclaimed shh ordered another don't wake her up
30
where shall i sleep asked a third she's taken my bed well said a fourth there are seven hours in the night,
31
so every hour one of us must get out of bed and take a turn at sleeping in the chair.
32
And they all agreed that that was only fair.
33
When the sun rose, Snow White awoke.
34
How frightened she was when she saw the seven dwarfs.
35
But they were friendly and asked her name.
36
Snow White, she replied The eldest dwarf said Well,
37
Snow White, if you take care of our house, then you may live here
38
And Snow White agreed with all her heart Every morning the seven dwarfs went out to the mountain
39
And Snow White stayed at home to cook and keep the house
40
meanwhile the queen asked her mirror who is the fairest of all
41
and the mirror answered oh lady queen though fair ye be
42
snow white is fairer far to see over the hills
43
and far away She lives with seven dwarfs today Liar! screeched the queen in her rage
44
But soon she realised
45
that the hunter must have tricked her She decided to dress herself like an old peddler woman
46
And in this disguise she visited the dwarf's cottage And knocked on the door crying Pretty things,
47
very cheap, very cheap Snow White peeped from the window and said Good day, good woman.
48
What are your wares?
49
All sorts of pretty things, my dear.
50
Thank you, said Snow White.
51
Your scarves and laces are indeed pretty, but I will not buy any today.
52
It is a pity, said the old woman.
53
But never mind.
54
I will give you this apple, and perhaps you shall remember me another time.
55
The peddler woman took a bite out of the green side of the apple and handed the rest through the window.
56
Snow White thanked the old woman and bit into the fruit.
57
Little did she realise that the wicked queen had poisoned the rosy side of the apple, the part that Snow White now swallowed.
58
That night, when the dwarfs came home, they found Snow White lying upon on the floor.
59
No breath came from her lips.
60
They sat round her and wept for three whole days.
61
Then they made a coffin of shining glass, laid her in it, and placed her on top of the mountain.
62
It happened that a prince, out hunting, came across the glass coffin.
63
He was very much taken by the pale girl who lay so still inside it, and he thought she must be a statue left there by the ancients.
64
He ordered his servants to pick up the unusual object and carry it home.
65
In doing so, one of them stumbled and the glass box fell to the ground.
66
It shook terribly and the piece of poisonous apple
67
which had lodged in Snow White's throat came came out so that she opened her eyes alive once more.
68
Snow White and the Prince were soon wed.
69
They and the Seven Dwarfs lived long and happy lives
70
while the wicked Queen went mad with envy for she could never be the fairest of them all.
71
And that was the story of Snow White.
72
Thank you.

English Speaking Practice with Princess Sofia | Sofia The First [Shadowing Method] Part2
KidsTeensDaily Conversation
Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Il video di "Biancaneve" è una risorsa eccellente per pratica di conversazione in inglese e per esercitare la tecnica del shadowspeak (o shadowing in inglese). La storia, ricca di narrazione e dialoghi, crea un contesto naturale che aiuta a imitare la pronuncia, l'intonazione e il ritmo della lingua. Inoltre, le situazioni semplici ma vivide (come i dialoghi tra la regina e lo specchio, o tra Biancaneve e i nani) permettono di acquisire vocabolo utile e di familiarizzare con strutture grammaticali comuni, rendendo il learning più coinvolgente e efficace.
Grammatica e espressioni in contesto
Ecco alcuni punti chiave da analizzare:
- Condizionali tipo 1: "If you take care of our house, then you may live here" (Se ti occupi di casa nostra, allora puoi vivere qui). Questa struttura è usata per esprimere condizioni reali o probabili, fondamentale per le conversazioni quotidiane.
- Passato semplice vs. passato continuo: "A long time ago when the snowflakes fell like feathers a queen sat sewing" (Molto tempo fa, quando i fiocchi di neve cadevano come piume, una regina sedeva a cucire). Il passato semplice (fell) descrive azioni concluse, mentre il continuo (sat sewing) azioni in corso, aiutando a creare una scena vivida.
- Espressioni idiomatiche: "How pretty her red blood looked dazzling on the whiteness" (Com'è bella il suo sangue rosso che brillava sulla bianchezza). L'uso di "dazzling" (brillante) e "on the whiteness" (sulla bianchezza) mostra come descrivere dettagli con precisione e poesia.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
Nel video, alcuni vocaboli possono creare difficoltà:
- Ebony (ebano): La pronuncia corretta è /ˈɛbəni/, con l'accento sulla prima sillaba. Evitare di pronunciare "e-boh-ni".
- Brambles (ronzi): Si dice /ˈbræmbəlz/, con il "a" corto e il "mb" pronunciato come una singola consonante. Molti apprendenti sbagliano a fare la "m" prima della "b".
- Peddler (mercante ambulante): La pronuncia è /ˈpɛdlər/, con l'accento sulla prima sillaba. Non confondere con "pedaler" (pedalare), che ha un suono diverso.
Usare il shadowing in inglese con questo video aiuta a superare queste trappole, ascoltando e ripetendo immediatamente le frasi per imitare il suono e l'intonazione native. Così, si può migliorare la pronuncia inglese in modo naturale e costante.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | be told · are indeed |
| Superlativi the -est / the most … — il massimo o il minimo di un gruppo | the fairest · The eldest |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | will not buy · will give |
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.
