Pratica di Shadowing: solo hiking in a rainstorm (with waterfalls) - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Hello and welcome back to the channel.

Unless you're new, then welcome.

Today we are going to be doing something a little unconventional, and I'm not talking about deadlifts.

We are going to be hiking in the rain.

If you couldn't already tell by the sound of the rain.

I've got my heavy duty jacket and some other gear to keep my things as dry as possible because, as always, preparedness is very important.

In Hawaii, we are currently in the middle of a rainstorm, so the past several days have been extremely rainy.

I don't want to negate the severity of the situation by going out and frolicking in nature, because I know many people have been impacted by the weather,

but as far as I know, no one's been injured.

I have seen a few like tree uprootings, definitely some road closures because of the flooding, and a lot of power outages.

I even stopped by one of my favorite beaches and it was like unrecognizable.

I actually couldn't believe how different it looked.

And I have footage because it's like actually crazy.

Now you might be thinking, why the heck would you go outside right now?

And I have some reasons number one I like the rain number two the rain means less people

and number three I have a very specific motive there is

motive to the madness I have done this hike before

but there's a specific mountain range at a certain point of the trail

that when it's rainy enough all of the crevices of the mountain fill with waterfalls

so it's like a whole almost panoramic waterfall view

of the Kualau Mountains and I really just want to be there while it's full of waterfalls.

I think that would be so cool

and I don't really have much else to do

and the weather is kind of keeping everybody inside

so I don't know I'm just gonna defy the norms

and of course be safe but enjoy myself and I don't really mind getting wet.

I do have some gear to hopefully minimize that.

Yeah I I can't really think of a better way to spend the day, so that's what we're doing.

Also, I have some jumper cables just out in the backseat.

I need to put those away.

But my car wasn't starting yesterday, so don't worry.

We replaced the battery.

I won't be getting stuck anywhere.

But that was fun.

I learned how to jump a car.

Life skills.

Okay, I've got my protective cover on the camera, but as you can see,

the whole trail has become a massive stream.

We're going to see how this goes.

Actually it looks like...

Okay, change of plans.

We are switching to the waterproof camera and leaving the precious full frame in the car where it's safe.

But I'm not giving up.

We're making up for a little bit of lost time because there is a two hour parking limit, so we're going to be picking up the pace a little bit.

The rain slowed down a bit, but the water is still booming regardless.

It's all trailing down into the valley to Monowee Lake Falls.

I can only imagine what that looks like.

Oh!

I wore

my beater boots today.

They're actually my retired hiking boots, but I figured they'd probably get destroyed today.

So one last mission for these bad boys.

That's the clearest I've seen it.

Whoa.

Look at the color of the water.

The ocean water.

Oh, man.

Mount Olamana.

So my Hawaii people know, I'm sure, Maunawele Falls.

It's like the biggest waterfall we have.

And you can actually jump into the pool because it's deep enough.

But I'm here to say we are 100% not doing that today.

I'm not even going to go all the way into the valley because the lower you get,

the more strong the water is going to be as it all pools down into one area.

My only goal today is that I want to see the panoramic waterfalls.

And that's where I draw the line.

I think we're approaching the two mile mark, which means we're getting really close and I'm getting so excited.

Oh my gosh.

Oh my god. Can you see that? So many stream crossings.

My boots are full of water.

There's like a pool.

I got two personal foot pools.

There's another peak.

The waterfalls are looking so beautiful.

I am noticing, despite the stream crossings looking pretty thick and powerful,

there's almost always a safer way around that can still get you where you need to go.

Wow.

Oh my gosh.

I am having the time of my life.

What was I even saying?

Oh yeah, sometimes the best path is not the most obvious path.

And that applies to life.

Beyond the trail.

It's kind of like the perfect window right now.

Where I think it's clear enough to really get a good view of the waterfalls.

So I hope we're not too far.

I could cry.

Oh my God.

This is the best view I've gotten so far.

Wow.

Oh my gosh.

We weren't even seeing half of it.

Okay.

Wow.

This might be peak view.

Okay.

Time to say bye to the beautiful view.

I think that's the best we're going to get today.

That's a lot better than I was expecting, to be honest.

100

I think if I continue on into the descent, we'll probably get a better view,

101

at least of more waterfalls but I'm kind of already at risk for getting towed right now

102

and that would be really not fun if I get towed

103

so we're minimizing

104

that possibility by heading back now it has already been two

105

hours I didn't realize I would be hiking this far

106

but I am aware of the consequences and I couldn't not commit to seeing that.

107

No regrets.

108

I accept the consequences of my actions.

109

This is actually the trail right now.

110

Lots of fallen trees too.

111

Oh boy.

112

Okay.

113

As long as I don't rip my pants, no problem.

114

White Claw?

115

Really, bruvs?

116

If you're going to drink, at least take your trash out with you.

117

I don't drink White Claw, for the record.

118

I can hear the cars.

119

So we're reaching the end.

120

Moment of truth.

121

Do I still have a car?

122

My car!

123

Yay!

124

Now that I'm back and I know that I still have a car, I think it's safe to say that was a massive success.

125

I got the view I was looking for.

126

and it really is crazy to see the difference from when I got here.

127

Like when I first got here couldn't even see that mountain couldn't even see those trees right there.

128

So weather really cleared up for the better in my favor perfect timing but with enough rain to still get the waterfall.

129

So that is all for today's video.

130

Thank you for watching.

131

I hope you enjoyed.

132

Don't forget to lift, laugh, and love, and I'll see you in the next video.

133

Bye!

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.
