Pratica di Shadowing: Zendaya & Tom Holland Are The Perfect Couple | Extended Interview | The Graham Norton Show - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

It's been a few years since we last saw you.

Yeah, I was great at showing.

Yeah, it was great at showing.

And we should say congratulations,

Euphoria, you won an Emmy.

Hey.

I know.

And that was the, that was that kind of proper lockdown, lockdown Emmys.

So where were you?

I was in my living room.

OK.

I was in my living room.

And it was actually really special because I think,

you know, had it not been done that That way that year,

I wouldn't have been able to have my whole family with me.

So I did it in my living room.

Aww.

There's my family.

My dad.

There's my mom's back there.

You can't see it in this picture,

but her face is like this.

It's so cute.

My nieces, my little niece,

my dog runs out from under the table when everybody starts screaming.

It was really, really special.

So I got to share it with them,

which I couldn't imagine doing that any other way.

And if I had done it in a real audience like this,

in front of everyone, I would have just would have probably thrown up.

I don't know what I would have done.

I was so nervous.

But this was the one,

wasn't it, where, so how many?

There must be five nominees?

I think, I believe so.

Five nominees, best actress in a drama.

Yes.

But there was someone outside everyone's house.

Yes.

In a hazmat suit that looked like a tuxedo.

It was actually really cute.

What's not cute is everyone,

no matter, like, all the nominees,

someone would be in front of their house in the hazmat suit with an Emmy.

And if...

Yeah, like that.

And if you didn't get it, they would just...

..leave.

Drive off.

LAUGHTER Oh, dear.

I heard you talking somewhere,

Zendaya, how your height difference makes those stunts more complicated.

Thank you, Graeme.

LAUGHTER I didn't say it.

Zendaya said it.

Now that is a good story.

It's a good story.

Well, you see, there's a particular stunt,

I don't know if it's in this,

but there's a, you know,

he, Spider-Man swings us on top of a bridge,

and he places me there.

Oh, there you are.

And that's the bridge.

Yeah, that's the bridge.

We eventually jump off of, and I'm screaming.

You look great.

Yeah.

So he's supposed to gently,

you know, rest MJ on the bridge and walk away from her.

It, because of our height difference,

I obviously, if we're on the same, like, point, I...

We were attached.

I would land before him.

My feet obviously hit the ground before he does.

So...

What would happen?

It's called a bottom mark, isn't it?

And the bottom mark is basically a thing that they do in stunts

that is basically designed to stop you shattering your kneecaps.

So Zendaya would land, and I'm the superhero.

I'm supposed to look cool.

And she would land, and then I would sort of land like this,

my feet would swing from underneath me and then she would catch me.

LAUGHTER And they'd be like, cut!

I'm like, oh!

Stop doing that!

You were actually very lovely about it.

You were like, oh, my gosh, thank you.

It's so nice to be caught for a change.

For a proper one.

Yeah.

And obviously you're back in the suit.

Yes.

The suit's the same this time, right?

Or is it being changed?

Yes, it's the same, yes.

OK.

100

As the last one, there's no changes.

101

Again, I asked for a zip and I didn't get one.

102

Do you have a zip?

103

Yeah, sort of.

104

Sort of?

105

It's not a conventional zip,

106

no. Otherwise you'd see it.

107

We're talking about the same zip, right?

108

I told you that.

109

I hope so.

110

I've said this publicly before,

111

because I really think we should do something about this.

112

I actually think all of us,

113

we need to band together,

114

we need to tell somebody.

115

Because he can, like, you know,

116

listen, it's one piece, So there's a helmet and there's all these things that go underneath it.

117

And I always have this fear that if he's like working really hard or something's happening,

118

that if he had to throw up, per se, what's...how?

119

How is he going to get it out?

120

This is a genuine concern.

121

Yes.

122

Right?

123

So, honestly, sometimes when I look at him,

124

I get a little scared,

125

because I'm like, what if you...I don't know.

126

I don't know.

127

I don't know.

128

It just stresses me out.

129

I'll be like...

130

I'm like, help him.

131

It's true, because I ain't gonna get it out.

132

But you're, I mean, not a,

133

but you have an old school hobby.

134

Yes.

135

So you knit, but you do more than knit.

136

I tried to start a new hobby while we were shooting Spider-Man.

137

I got one of those,

138

I don't know if you guys have them,

139

but they're like little rugs that you can make,

140

and you basically, yarn by yarn,

141

you attach the thing and colour coordinates to, like, a thing.

142

I chose puppies.

143

Okay.

144

And I got about, like,

145

four squares in, and I was like, I'm done with this.

146

This is too tedious for me.

147

So I got like a little corner of a rug,

148

but that's about it.

149

But who taught you to knit?

150

My mom taught me to knit.

151

All I can do is scarf,

152

so I'm not like, you know,

153

I can't get you a sweater or like a vest or anything,

154

but I get you a nice,

155

thick, warm scarf, which is what I made for everybody.

156

OK, that's really good.

157

I mean, I loved it as a pastime.

158

I usually like little tedious activities,

159

things I can keep my brain occupied.

160

And yeah, I would, I just made everyone scarps because I couldn't,

161

I was like, what am I gonna get everybody for Christmas?

162

I was like, I'll just make them some scarps.

163

That's what I'm doing all day.

164

Like them or not?

165

We've been doing like the most intense fight scenes on set

166

and you used to come to set to watch quite a lot.

167

Yeah.

168

And I'd be there, I'd come and have blood all over my face.

169

I've been fighting the goblin and I'd turn around and you'd just be there knitting.

170

How's the day going?

171

Yeah, it's good.

172

Amazing.

173

And Zadaya, in your story,

174

I love, I mean, I'm sort of in awe of what your parents did for you.

175

I mean, how old were you when your parents kind of totally said,

176

right, we're going to back you in your career?

177

No, I was pretty young.

178

I'm,

179

super grateful because they um i i

180

had this dream and i wanted to go pursue it

181

and i had parents who were totally down to support that

182

and both my parents are teachers

183

so my dad at the time he um he basically became like my stage dad you know um

184

and he would drive me up

185

and back from i mean it wouldn't i don't know how many people know california very well

186

but it was like an eight hour drive from where i'm from to l.a

187

so we would drive up

188

and back during the week sometimes for for uh you know

189

auditions callbacks whatever um until it was actually quite quickly

190

that i got my my disney show when i was a kid

191

so it's been a slow growth kind of thing you know

192

i thankfully didn't i had a nice protective system around me my family my brothers

193

and sister siblings we're talking about siblings but they're all older I was basically an only child.

194

It was great.

195

But I have such a great support system,

196

so I got all the protection I needed.

197

And then as I was growing,

198

I got to do it nice and slow and nice and steady.

199

Famously, though, you did find success very young in the West End as Billy Elliot.

200

You must have seen this.

201

It's a very sweet clip we found.

202

This is you as a little boy.

203

But what I love in this is you're so relaxed and you're so cool.

204

This is you discussing being seen for the role of Billy Elliot.

205

Here we go.

206

Great.

207

I'm Tom Holland and I play Billy in Billy Elliot the Musical.

208

It all started, I used to go to a street dance club,

209

and we did a show in White Lodge,

210

the ballet school, and the headmaster,

211

he spotted me, he was like,

212

we wanted to audition for Billy Elliot,

213

and I was like, oh, fair dues.

214

I love that.

215

Fair dues, fair dues.

216

That video haunts me.

217

Oh, it's so...

218

Oh, fair dues.

219

It's good, though.

220

It's very relaxed.

221

It's very relaxed.

222

Well done.

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.
