30
and answers we react to what other people say by saying things like oh nice
31
or that's cool or oh really just expressions like
32
that to show you're interested there are many different expressions
33
and words you can use to show that you're actively listening to what
34
that other person is saying and this just shows you're engaged in the conversation and you're not daydreaming about something else.
35
Part three, what do you do?
36

Spanish for over a year now now
57
if you want to keep the conversation flowing naturally you need to ask something back
58
if someone asks you where are you from and you just answer Japan,
59
then the conversation becomes awkward and kind of ends.
60
But if you said I'm from Japan, where are you from?
61
Then it gives them a question in return and keeps the conversation flowing naturally.
62
Let's practice.
63
Where are you from?
64
I'm from Canada.
65
What do you do?
66

71
and then say at the end what about you or
72
if someone asks what is your job you can answer by telling them your job
73
and then say what about you
74
or what do you do it's very easy to keep the conversation going

La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | we've met · i've lived · have just met |
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ing | practice having · practice asking · love traveling |
| Superlativi the -est / the most … — il massimo o il minimo di un gruppo | the most common · the most important · your best |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | I'll ask · will ask · we'll see |
Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 36 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'm, you're, don't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, technician /tɛkˈnɪʃən/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, unlimited /ʌnˈlɪm.ɪ.tɪd/, photography /fəˈtɑ.ɡɹə.fi/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, personalize /ˈpɜː.sə.nə.laɪz/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: hobby /ˈhɑ.bi/, hockey /ˈhɑ.ki/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: introduce /ˌɪntɹəˈdus/, unlimited /ʌnˈlɪm.ɪ.tɪd/, curious /ˈkjʊɹ.i.əs/, engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, pretend /pɹəˈtɛnd/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, actively /ˈæktɪvli/, react /ɹiːˈækt/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come naturally, hobby, introduce.
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.
