Pratica di Shadowing: Why Americans Love Iced Coffee - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
Between 2016 and 2023, consumer spending on cold coffee, which includes iced coffee, cold brew and frozen coffee drinks, more than doubled in the U.S.
2
Hot coffee, on the other hand, grew about 20%.
3
Lots of ice is clean.
4
We want it super, super cold.
5
You know, I see an iced coffee being made on social media and they're shaking their ice around.
6
I'm like, well, maybe I want an iced coffee now.
7
Like, it truly works.
8
You can see that iced coffee really is at the forefront of advertising for chains like Dunkin.
9
The company told CNBC that since 2019, it's grown its iced drinks by 50%, and they now represent two-thirds of its total beverage sales.
10
It can be 10 degrees and slowly falling, and there will be people who will be clutching their cold brew coffees as they walk to work.
11
And that was not the case until relatively recently.
12
So why do Americans love putting this traditionally hot beverage over ice?
13
And will cold brew and iced coffee eventually take over?
14
Americans spent nearly $88 billion on out-of-home coffee purchases in 2023 about 20% of that was on cold coffee,
15
but tracking at home cold coffee consumption can be hard.
16
A lot of people are taking standard ground coffee, putting it in, you know, a pitcher or something and letting it brew overnight and making cold brew.
17
And how on earth do you track that?
18
And the answer is you can't.
19
Sales at coffee house chains can help paint a clearer picture.
20
Starbucks controls about 25% of the U.S coffee and snack shop market.
21
The way it usually works in the U.S is that coffee trends start with a coffee shop, and above all, at the big chains like Starbucks.
22
So the way to look at it is when did they really start pushing the cold beverages?
23
That's about when cold beers are reaching those restaurant menus, and then that shapes what good coffee is thought to be like in the lines of consumers, which then in turn shapes things like their at-home consumption patterns.
24
From 2013 to 2021, Starbucks U.S cold beverage sales grew from less than 40% to 75% of all drinks sold.
25
It's important to note that this includes non-coffee drinks as well.
26
For Dutch Bros, a West Coast-based coffee chain, cold drinks account for about 90% of its beverage sales.
27
About half of that is cold coffee.
28
The rise of caffeinated alternatives, like energy drinks, may help explain the appeal of iced coffee as well.
29
Americans love soft drinks in general, so are the view of helping make coffee in a soft drink.
30
In the U.S., ready-to-drink coffee is almost always drank cold, and consumption is up over 40% between 2019 and 2023.
31
That is much higher than the global growth rate, even without Japan, who accounts for about half of the total market and disproportionately skews the data.
32
When you look at the big chains, they shape consumer taste, but they also reflect consumer taste.
33
And so I think there's a little bit of both happening there, right?
34
Where consumers clearly are asking more for cold beverages.
35
That's driven largely by Gen Z, by millennials.
36
The skew is pretty clear that the younger consumers prefer cold coffees,
37
iced, cold brew, etc. The divide between iced versus hot coffee drinkers is largely generational.
38
Americans aged 18 to 24 are the largest consumers of cold coffee.
39
A survey found that about half of respondents had it within the past day.
40
The second largest cold coffee drinking cohort was respondents aged 25 to 39.
41
And there was a big drop off then in Gen X and boomers.
42
They'll drink cold coffees, they'll drink some cases cold brews or iced coffee, but it's really more like a summertime thing that's hot.
43
Whereas the millennials, especially Gen Z, really broke free of that seasonality.
44
And that's the key difference is that they view it as an anytime beverage rather than a seasonal thing.
45
As a Gen Z coffee drinker myself, I almost always opt for an iced coffee.
46
And for me personally, it's because it lasts longer than a hot coffee.
47
If I'm at the office, I want something that I can sit at my desk and sip on for a few hours.
48
I think there's definitely less exploration.
49
There is less cravings for variety with those older generations.
50
Since coffee has such an established background as this hot beverage,
51
I think it's kind of hard to break that mindset with a generation that for so much of their lifetime, it has just been that hot beverage.
52
A 2023 Mintel report found that 26% of U.S teens consume cold coffee, while about 18% consume hot.
53
One reason behind its popularity amongst younger generations is because it's an easier entry to coffee.
54
It's highly customizable and you can add lots of flavors
55
and toppings that that help divert from the natural bitter taste of coffee.
56
Increasingly, that younger consumer that is not just asking for a very plain cup of hot coffee, right?
57
They want a coffee-based beverage that has something more to it.
58
And I think that's reflected in that marketing and promotions.
59
Thank you.
60
Have a nice day.
61
The clear plastic cups that cold coffee typically comes in lends itself very well to the age of social media.
62
These new drinks are a Starbucks wicked collaboration.
63
So you can see that the foam on top is actually green and as you swirl it around, it mixes into the drink.
64
There's some like sparkles on top.
65
All of these colors and aesthetics simply wouldn't be possible if it were a hot drink.
66
Even though many younger Americans view cold coffee as an all year round beverage, companies like Starbucks have seen a clear dip in the winter months.
67
One of the reasons Europe hasn't fully adopted cold coffee is because of, I think, the climate, and they're still largely driven by hot coffee,
68
and, you know, especially in Northern Europe.
69
Americans as coffee drinkers are much more experimental, right?
70
They don't have a very strong coffee culture.
71
They find a place like Brazil, Turkey, Italy.
72
There's that long historical tradition, a sense of here's how we make coffee.
73
Traditionally, Americans are much more into trying new things.
74
In terms of the trends right now spreading around the world, things like cold brew, like nitro, they're coming from the United States.
75
Many coffee makers like Nespresso and Keurig are jumping on the iced coffee bandwagon too.
76
Nespresso released a ready-to-drink canned beverage for the first time this summer.
77
And Keurig is now selling a coffee machine that brews hot and then flash chills it to make iced coffee.
78
Still, cold brew and iced coffee have some ways to go before catching up to their hot counterpart.
79
Hot coffee is still by far the most popular way Americans consume coffee.
80
A big part of our growth expectation is just that more
81
and more restaurants and food service operators are going to add this to the menu
82
and so our expectations are very bullish for growth of the cold coffee category over the next five years

Il contesto: Perché gli statunitensi amano il caffè freddo
Nel video, si analizza la crescita esponenziale del consumo di caffè freddo negli Stati Uniti tra il 2016 e il 2023, superando anche quello caldo. Le catene come Starbucks e Dunkin' hanno giocato un ruolo chiave, spingendo bevande fredde che ora rappresentano anche il 75% delle vendite. Tra i giovani, soprattutto i Gen Z e i millenials, il caffè freddo è diventato un "anytime beverage" (bevanda per ogni ora), superando la stagionalità. Questo contesto realistico è perfetto per imparare l'inglese con YouTube, poiché combina vocaboli pratici e discussioni attuali.
Frasi e collocazioni utili da memorizzare
- "Consumer spending on cold coffee" (Spesa dei consumatori per il caffè freddo): Una collocazione chiave per parlare di economia e tendenze.
- "At the forefront of advertising" (Alla forefront della pubblicità): Per descrivere qualcosa di innovativo nelle campagne pubblicitarie.
- "Break free of seasonality" (Sfuggire alla stagionalità): Espressione per indicare una bevanda o un prodotto che va oltre le stagioni.
- "Highly customizable" (Molto personalizzabile): Utile per parlare di prodotti che si adattano ai gusti individuali.
- "Entry to coffee" (Ingresso al caffè): Per descrivere un modo semplice per iniziare a bere caffè.
La tua sfida di shadowing: Ripeti e imita
Per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e l'intonazione, prova questo esercizio di shadowing in inglese: Seleziona un frammento del video (ad esempio, "It can be ten degrees and snow will be falling...") e ascoltalo attentamente. Pausa il video e ripeti la frase immediatamente, cercando di imitare il tono, la velocità e le pause. Ripeti il processo 5 volte. Questo metodo, noto anche come shadow speech, aiuta a internalizzare le strutture linguistiche e a rendere la pronuncia più naturale. Per un risultato migliore, usa un shadowing site per registrare la tua voce e confrontarla con l'originale. Non sottovalutare la pratica costante: anche 10 minuti al giorno possono fare la differenza!
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.
