6
How are you today, Beth?
7
I'm okay, Neil.
8
I'm a little bit tired.
9
How are you?
10
I'm very well.
11
I'm fine.
12
Great.
13
Good, good.
14
Well, today we're going to talk about mistakes.
15
So hopefully I won't make many mistakes being tired.
16
No, mistakes.
17
Mistakes can be things that are wrong,
18
like a mistake in a maths problem.
19
But we can also use mistake to talk about really big things in life,
20
decisions that you've made, actions that you've taken.
21
Yes, that's true.
22
So I think let's start the conversation.
23
Let's do it.
24
So, Beth, have you made any mistakes recently?
25
Yes so I recently left my suitcase on a train by mistake Oh no
26
So I was travelling from home to Leeds on the train And I got to the station at Leeds
27
And there were loads of people and they were football fans and they were singing really loudly.
28
And I just wanted to get off the train.
29
And that's what I did.
30
And then I realised about half an hour later that I didn't have my suitcase.
31
Oh, no. So that's a bad mistake.
32
Did you get it back?
33
I did.
34
I was so lucky.
35
The train stopped at Leeds.
36
So when I realized I ran and said to the people on the platform,
37
my suitcase is on the train and they held the train for me and I ran up the platform.
38
I grabbed my suitcase and then they blew the whistle and the train went.
39
I was so lucky.
40
But yeah, that was a big mistake.
41
And I will not make that mistake again.
42
Everybody says that.
43
So earlier we said that mistakes can be small things like my suitcase,
44
but there are big mistakes that we can make.
45
So have you ever made a big mistake, do you think?
46
Yeah, well, once I had a job that I really, really enjoyed.
47
I was teaching at a school in Prague in the Czech Republic teaching English.
48
And I loved the job and I had loads of really good friends.
49
But I had this feeling that I needed to go move somewhere else,
50
do something else with my life.
51
And so I resigned.
52
But then about a week or so later,
53
I realized I really, really didn't want to leave that school.
54
So I went back to the boss and I said,
55
I've changed my mind.
56
I want to stay.
57
And he said, well, it's too late because I've given your job to somebody else.
58
Oh, no, that's so sad.
59
So you left your job, left Prague?
60
No, actually, a bit like your suitcase, Beth.
61
it ended up being okay because the person who took my job then decided that he didn't want the job either.
62
So in the end, I did stay.
63
So when we make mistakes,
64
Neil, sometimes we then have a regret or we regret the thing that we did.
65
That means that we feel bad about it or we wish that we'd done something differently.
66
Do you have any regrets?
67
Yeah, when I was a kid,
68
I guess I was probably 12 or 13,
69
I had some piano lessons and I quit as soon as I could.
70
My parents gave me that choice and I regret that
71
because I love music and I play guitar and I think I would have enjoyed playing piano.
72
I always think, to be honest,
73
you shouldn't have any regrets because whatever you've done,
74
you've learned something from it.
75
Even if something bad happened,
76
then you know for next time.
77
And it's a kind of self-improvement thing.
78
That is a very positive attitude to mistakes, Beth.
79
Yeah, I think it's important to learn from your mistakes.
80
And that's a common expression in English,
81
to learn from your mistakes.
82
Let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt in this podcast, starting with mistake.
83
And a mistake is an action that is wrong or that you do when you don't mean to.
84
And we can make a mistake.
85
That means we do something wrong.
86
Or we can do something by mistake,
87
which means we do something accidentally, without meaning to.
88
For example, I left my suitcase on the train by mistake.
89
We also heard regret, which means feel bad or sorry about something you've done or a mistake that you've made.
90
And we heard learn from your mistakes,
91
which means remember the mistake and then not do it again the next time.
92
That's it for this episode of Real Easy English.
93
You can test yourself on what you've learned with a worksheet on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
94
See you then.
95
Goodbye.
96
Bye.
97
you

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.
