Creazione lezione...
1
I want you guys to visualize this right now.
2
Maybe close your eyes if it helps you.
3
But what does the perfect you look like?
4
How does he speak?
5
How does he walk?
6
And how does he carry himself?
7
Is he loving, brave, or protective?
8
How does his life look?
9
Is he arriving home, greeting his wife after a long work day?
10
Is he in their beautiful house with his kids laughing and playing?
11
Whatever that vision is of the perfect you.
12
Maybe you've seen positive in before when you are proud of yourself, maybe You've never experienced that guy.
13
But today, I'm going to talk about the best version of you.
14
And more importantly, I'm going to give you the actual advice on how to become him.
15
So often, we know who we want to be and what we want.
16
The problem is, it's hard as fuck to achieve that.
17
I mean, just look around at society.
18
People are unhappy and unfulfilled.
19
I believe that the friction between you and the person that you want to become is caused by one thing, and that's good and evil.
20
In every religion, there's a universal truth that's preached around the world.
21
And that is, there is the good and there is the evil.
22
religion or not, you cannot deny that there's truth in these polarities.
23
The problem is, with a lot of people's understanding about this truth, is that we look into it too literally.
24
We think of the good as giving to charity or helping an old lady across the street.
25
And we think of evil as murder, theft and violence in extremity.
26
Maybe these religious texts and prophets have been telling us
27
that we have negative and positive decisions that we have to make every day.
28
And statistically, the average person makes 35 ,000 decisions per day.
29
And if you're not conscious of your intentions, you can fall into making negative or evil choices for future you.
30
Yes, you can doom scroll on social media, over consume food or alcohol.
31
It's easy.
32
Maybe it's not even a physical thing.
33
Maybe it's the self -hatred that you see in the mirror or beat yourself up because you look in the past.
34
These are inherently evil actions towards your future self.
35
Yes, It's not murder or violence, but it is still evil.
36
And just to brush this all up, the definition of evil: profoundly immoral or wicked behavior, characterized by acts or intentions that cause pain or harm.
37
Are these acts that we're doing every day, not evil towards ourselves?
38
So now how the fuck do we become this guy that we visualized in the beginning of the video?
39
The first thing is, take a piece of paper.
40
Yes, you can use a phone but I like writing things.
41
I want you to write out how that perfect version of you lives.
42
How he speaks, what he has, and how he feels in extreme detail.
43
What we're doing here is we're making that mental connection with the version of the person of who we want to be.
44
And now this is the blueprint for all of the actions in our lives.
45
And when you're faced with an evil or a good decision, you can reference your blueprint and what actions need to be taken in life.
46
It helps so much because this is a literal roadmap of how you need to think and feel.
47
Now of course, no one's perfect and we're probably gonna slip up when things don't go to plan.
48
But how do we manage that?
49
and not make these negative decisions habits?
50
Well, what I found is a self -reporting model.
51
I've done this almost every single day for the past few years And it's actually pretty soon.
52
At the end of your day, Look back on every moment.
53
Did you put enough effort into the gym?
54
Maybe you weren't kind to a stranger at the grocery store or Maybe you left some dishes in the sink to clean.
55
And the very next day, whatever it is, you need to not repeat those actions and commit to it.
56
Because what this does, is you get better and better every single day.
57
And the way you're getting better is following the blueprint of the person that you dream to be.
58
But that cannot happen without you assessing yourself and deciding how you need to change.
59
I'm gonna leave you guys with this quote: "You are the master of your destiny.
60
You can influence, direct and control your own environment.
61
And you can make your life what you want it to be." I love and appreciate you guys, and I'll see you next week.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?

Questo video è una risorsa eccellente per la pratica di conversazione in inglese e per il metodo del shadowing in inglese, poiché combina un discorso spontaneo con messaggi motivazionali. Il tono colloquiale, ma articolato, permette di imitare l'intonazione e il flusso naturale della lingua, fondamentali per migliorare la pronuncia e la confidenza. Inoltre, il contenuto riflessivo invita a connettersi emotionalmente con il testo, rendendo la pratica più efficace: quando ti imiti il speaker, non solo ripeti parole, ma anche emozioni, il che rafforza la memoria muscolare e la comprensione contestuale. È il modo perfetto per esercitare il shadow speak in un contesto reale e significativo.

Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto

Analizziamo alcuni punti chiave del discorso:

  • "You have no idea how happy you could be": La struttura "how + aggettivo + subject + verb" è usata per esprimere intensità. È utile per descrivere emozioni o situazioni in modo vivid. Nella pratica del shadowing, focalizzati sulla cadenza di "how happy" per trasmettere la forza del messaggio.
  • "The friction between you and the person that you want to become": L'uso di "that" come pronome relativo per definire "the person" è tipico nel inglese colloquiale. Nota come "that" sostituisce "who" qui, un dettaglio che rende il discorso più fluido.
  • "We're probably gonna slip up when things don't go to plan": "Gonna" è la contrazione di "going to", usata per esprimere probabilità nel futuro. "Slip up" è un phrasal verb che significa "sbagliare per inattenzione". Questi elementi rendono il discorso naturale e sono essenziali per la pratica di conversazione in inglese.

Trappole di pronuncia comuni

Nel video, alcuni termini possono creare difficoltà:

  • "Friction": La pronuncia corretta è /ˈfrɪk.ʃən/, con la "t" silenziosa e l'accento sulla prima sillaba. Evita di pronunciare "frik-shun" con troppa enfasi sulla "t".
  • "Inherently": /ɪnˈhɪrəntli/ ha l'accento sulla seconda sillaba. Molti apprendenti sbagliano a mettere l'accento su "in-", ma la corretta è "in-HER-ent-li".
  • "Self-reporting": /ˌself.rɪˈpɔː.tɪŋ/ è composta da due parole unite. Assicurati di non separare "self" e "reporting", ma di legarle con una leggera pausa tra le sillabe.

Usando il shadowing in inglese con questo video, potrai superare queste trappole e migliorare la tua pronuncia in modo naturale. Ricorda: la chiave è ripetere il discorso immediatamente dopo il speaker, imitando il tono, la velocità e l'intonazione. Così, il shadow speak diventerà un'abitudine e la tua fluency migliorerà notevolmente.

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

StrutturaNel video
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adessoyou've seen · I've done
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fais caused · be taken

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.
