warm, and cozy home.

16

17
So, if you look at this sentence, It's, are you going home?
18
A very, very big mistake that everyone says will be, are you going to home?
19
And I go, no, no, no, don't say to, don't say to, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, okay, okay, are you going home?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, don't say to, but why?
21
You learned that when you are going someplace, you say to, for example, are you going to bed?

We don't say to the bed, by the way.
23
We just say bed.
24
Are you going to bed?

28
Did you go to school?
29
Did you go to www .engvid .com today and check out a new lesson?
30
but when you say home you do not use to hmm
31
so you know the rule may be
32
that this is a noun this is a noun so
33
when you use going to a place which is a noun you have to say to
34
and then you come along and find this beautiful home
35
and ronnie freaks out because you say to
36
and then you don't understand why I don't know
37
but I will give you a list of words that are places
38
but all of these words on this board you cannot use with to.
39
So, are you going abroad?
40
You cannot ask someone, are you going to abroad?
41
If you look in a dictionary, one of those books, or if you look on an online dictionary,
42
it'll tell you that these are adverbs of location, whereas the other ones that you've learned are nouns.
43
Huh?
44
But hold on, home is a noun.
45
Home is just this big exception going, no, I am a noun, I don't want to have to.
46
All of these ones are not proper nouns, they're adverbs of location.
47
Let's go through.
48
Underground.
49
Woo!
50
Underneath the surface of the land.
51
If you have ever been to London, there is a big system called the tube.
52
It's also called the underground.
53
Most places in the world call it the underground.
54
In Canada, we call it the subway.
55
Sub means under.
56
So, So you can say, I'm going underground.
57
I'm going underground.
58
If you know the jam, wow, what an amazing band, Ronnie, I know.
59
You will know the song called, I'm going underground.
60
Maybe by the magic of video, we'll put that video for you.
61
I'm going underground.
62
I'm going downtown.
63
Or you could say, uptown.
64
I will just sing songs for everything, uptown girls, little bit of Billy Joel for you,
65
uptown, downtown, you don't need the two,
66
there, here, anywhere, nowhere, somewhere, you don't need two, in,
67
inside, out, outside, upstairs, downstairs, don't use two, they're not nouns, their places.
68
One other thing to be very careful about, please, when you say this, you want to say, up stairs and down stairs.
69
Too many times, I hear people say, I went downstair.
70
Oh, only one?
71
Just one stair.
72
Oh, I've made it.
73
I went upstair.
74
And then what did you do?
75
You just stood there?
76
Wow.
77
Don't say downstair, upstair.
78
Please use all of the stairs.
79
Go up, okay?
80
That'll be fun, more exciting.
81
You can fall down the stairs, too.
82
That's fun one, but again we don't say two.
83
I'm going downstairs.
84
I'm coming upstairs.
85
If you are confused or if you have ever been confused about when to use two,
86
the only advice I can give you is please remember this list of words.
87
Once you have remembered this list,
88
You'll go, oh, that was easy. That was easy.
89
Yes, it was.
90
Thank you.
91
Goodbye.

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.
