1
Hello and aloha from Hawaii.
2
This is Bo from Bo's Slow English.
3
I just got in from Tokyo.
4
the following morning.
5
But the weird thing is, even though I arrived this morning,
6
It's almost like I went back in time because I left Sunday night,
7
but I arrived Sunday morning.
8
Time zones are so weird.
9
I'm staying at my friend's house and I will give you a tour of Hawaii.
10
I'm getting ready to head out for the day.
11
I'm going to meet my friend at a coffee shop.
12
My friend greeted me at the airport with this lei.
13
The weather is so different here compared to Tokyo and in fact I under packed
14
stuff I don't have any short sleeve shirts.
15
I only have long sleeves and sweaters because I thought it would be a little cooler here in Hawaii,
16
but I am totally wrong.
17
It's humid, it's warm, and I might need to buy a short sleeve shirt while we're out.
18
This is the back house where I'm staying.
19
I filmed here last July.
20
Last July was the first time I had ever been to Hawaii.
21
And now it's my second time.
22
I am taking...
23
the spare car that they have, which is an extra car, and we are going to go into town and get some coffee.
24
I just sat down to eat lunch.
25
I am craving Mexican food.
26
Mexican food was very hard to find in Tokyo.
27
Here's what I got.
28
On top, the tomato mixture is called pico de gallo.
29
several ingredients: chopped cilantro, jalapeno, onion, and tomato.
30
I also got the medium salsa, so medium spice.
31
I paid an additional fee for a side of guacamole.
32
I have two wedges of lime that I will squeeze on top.
33
I have a bed of rice, so this is the bed of rice underneath,
34
with refried beans and grilled steak.
35
I'm going to enjoy my meal and then I'll walk across the street to the other stores.
36
I'm swatting a fly away from my food.
37
You know I was just thinking I did not see many flies in Japan.
38
How weird.
39
We are going to head inside a grocery store.
40
It's a very popular grocery store restore chain called Whole Foods.
41
I'm going to pick up some bagels.
42
When I say the phrasal verb "pick up" in this sense I'm saying that I'm buying it.
43
You can also use the phrasal verb to pick up
44
if you are physically taking something off the ground
45
or just anywhere below you because you are lifting it up or picking up.
46
It feels very weird for me to be in Hawaii but still be surrounded by Japanese words on businesses.
47
There's Japanese characters everywhere as well as Japanese tourists and Japanese residents.
48
There are many Japanese tourists on the airplane.
49
It's almost like I didn't leave Japan but I am currently experiencing a culture shock because I'm in America now.
50
Everyone is speaking English and Japanese people everywhere.
51
It's so hot today.
52
I probably look a little bit out of place because I'm wearing a sweater and long pants.

119
I also placed my tote bag on the seat which had the car key.
120
I closed the passenger door and walked around to the driver's side door I tried to open the driver's side door,
121
however, the door was locked.
122
To lock yourself out, can you guess what that means?
123
It means that you are not able to get into a place like a car
124
or a house because the key is inside.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?

Questo video è un'eccellente opportunità per imparare l'inglese con YouTube grazie alla sua natura colloquiale e alla descrizione vivace di esperienze quotidiane. L'autore condivide le sue osservazioni su Hawaii, il cibo, e le differenze culturali che incontra. Praticare il parlato in questo contesto può aiutarti a sentirti più a tuo agio nel conversare di temi comuni e riconoscere le sfumature della lingua inglese. Parlando in questo modo, puoi migliorare non solo le tue abilità di espressione, ma anche la tua comprensione reale della lingua parlata.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

Analizzando il discorso del video, possiamo individuare alcune strutture grammaticali chiave che sono utili per chi desidera migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la fluidità. Ecco alcuni esempi:

  • Uso dei verbi frasali: L'autore usa il verbo frasale "pick up" per indicare l'azione di acquistare un oggetto, il che dimostra come i verbi frasali siano parte integrante della lingua quotidiana.
  • Frasi descrittive: Frasi come "The weather is so different here" esprimono chiaramente emozioni e percezioni, utili per chi sta apprendendo a descrivere situazioni e sentimenti.
  • Domande retoriche: La frase "How weird" può servire come modello per formulare espressioni di sorpresa o meraviglia, un aspetto importante della comunicazione in inglese.
  • Confronti culturali: L'autore menziona le differenze tra le culture, un modo per praticare vocaboli legati a culture diverse e situazioni di viaggio.

Trappole comuni nella pronuncia

Nel video, ci sono alcune parole e accenti che potrebbero rappresentare delle sfide per chi sta praticando il shadowing in inglese. Ecco alcuni punti da considerare:

  • “Aloha”: Questo saluto hawaiiano è caratterizzato da una pronuncia melodica e che potrebbe non essere familiare ai parlanti non nativi.
  • “Pico de gallo”: Questa espressione spagnola può risultare difficile da pronunciare correttamente, ma è importante per migliorare la propria shadow speech e la comprensione di piatti internazionali.
  • Accento di Tokyo e Hawaii: L'alternanza tra questi accenti offre una grande opportunità di esercitarsi con diversi modi di parlare inglese, favorendo una pronuncia inglese più fluida.

Praticare ascoltando e ripetendo queste espressioni, utilizzando il metodo del shadow speech, ti aiuterà a migliorare la tua intonazione e la tua confidenza nel parlare inglese. Non dimenticare di guardare il video per affinare ulteriormente le tue abilità!

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.
