76
Here we have two possible pronunciations.

103
Pronounce the her because it's stressed.

107

109
At her, at her house.
110
This pronunciation is used at her house when this is the important information, where is he?
111
He's at her house.
112
But if the important information is what they're doing, they're watching a movie, they're watching TV, at her house is not the important information.
113
So they're watching TV at her house.
114
Where are the boys?
115
They're at her house.
116
What are they doing?
117
They're watching TV at her house. Where are the boys?

124
At, at, at, at.
125

126

127

128
Another pronunciation.
129
If you don't stress him, the H is silent.
130
So the T changes to a D because you have two vowels.
131
A fast D.
132
Look at him.
133
Look at him go.
134
We have the same pronunciation for her.
135
If you stress her, you have a stop T at her.

If we don't stress her, then the T changes to a D.
138

140

141

142

157
Another pronunciation of at.
158
If you have at before the letter y,
159
the pronunciation at yi at yi changes with the ch sound like chicken at ch, at ch, at ch.
160
Look at your room.
161
Look at your room.
162
It's such a mess.
163
So we have two pronunciations.
164
When you have the letter Y, because Y is a consonant, you can do a stop T.
165
Look at, look at, look at your room.
166
Look at your room.
167
Or sometimes with the Y, it changes to ch.
168

170
look at the picture at look at the picture and the other common one is at with a vowel.

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.
