Les maken...
1
Let's get started.
2
Hi, I'm Valentina happy i'm here on set for bang and i just can't wait to start my scene
3
so valentina can uh can i borrow you for a moment sure our director is uh
4
indisposed at the moment why don't you have a seat there make yourself comfy
5
yeah yeah I don't know much about you
6
so you tell me you're from Italy tell me about what part
7
and what it's like there I'm from originally from Pompeii now I live a little bit more south in Pestum
8
so I basically went from one archaeological side to another one in Pompeii there's the Roman ruins
9
and in Pestum we have the Greek ruins we have the temples and with the Agrigento is the biggest temples
10
they are actually the only time the Greek temples in Italy
11
so and also they make mozzarella so
12
when I you know I've been traveling here in LA for almost nine years
13
so I say I go from la la land to mozzarella
14
land what do you do on your free time I spend
15
a lot of time with my animals I have a little a little zoo I have a bunny, a dog, a few reptiles,
16
chickens, and they take a lot of time, and I travel.
17
It's not really free time, it's kind of half of a job, but I travel a lot with my husband for a hot cuisine restaurant,
18
like mission -style restaurant.
19
Really?
20
Yeah.
21
Talk to me about that basically I've been traveling for restaurants as long I've been born
22
so have like 12 years experience of your spouse experience what's your favorite type of food right now after
23
so many years I think it's the kind of the same
24
also with porn like I'd rather have to do like a really good experience
25
otherwise I just stay home and it's the same thing with porn like
26
if I have to go on set
27
and you know people don't want to be there the guy
28
is not really professional wherever like I just be home with
29
my husband I'm sure with him you know what I mean
30
I do like has to be everything has to be in a word type of level otherwise
31
so I really like creative because since right now my favorite restaurant is Alchemist
32
and they combine visual arts with food so So it's a whole hell of experience,
33
if you Google it, you're going to see they have a planetarium, that's how you call it in English.
34
And while you eat, the images change.
35
And they spend 15 million on the restaurant, which is probably the most expensive restaurant that has ever existed.
36
No one ever invested that amount of money on a restaurant, so it's a big project and I really like it.
37
Amazing.
38
Have you ever heard of that restaurant in Nomi?
39
Noma?
40
Yeah, the one that's about to shut down.
41
I went there, I think the day before they got 3 Mission Stars, years ago, I think it was 2009.
42
And I went there a few years ago, but I wasn't crazy about it.
43
I feel like every chef has, at the beginning it was really good, and then I think every chef has, because it's hard to do avant -garde for a really long time
44
so i think every chef has its own area
45
and then they kind of you know it's it's a little
46
lifespan yeah it's a kind of a lifespan it's hard it's really i would never be i love food uh
47
but i will never be a chef because that's a really It's a really hard lifestyle.
48
They work a lot.
49
what they make like refus chefs become rich most of them they work a lot
50
and they will never you know they're maybe they're famous
51
but they will never make it like a lot a lot of money mm -hmm
52
so how about your friends do you have a lot of friends uh I feel like
53
because I travel so much have friends here
54
and there everywhere in the world and sometimes it's hard
55
but I'm not a lot of friend person because I'm an introvert
56
so to me having a lot of social life is it's it's hard I've been doing it
57
because you know with porn you have to talk with a lot of people they have fans
58
but they're not all your friends no I have like few close friends I think
59
that you know that's enough it's not
60
that I want to have more friends I'm okay with it
61
do you like music I like music what time do I did ballet for eight years
62
so I'm into classical music and they also listen to jazz
63
but i'm not like an expert like i kind of randomly
64
listen to things ballet did you do any um dancing on
65
the road as valentina on the road yeah you know like the clubs around the country any of
66
that no when i was um
67
when i was a kid i did ballet i stopped
68
when i was 13 years old basically i grew my boobs
69
and i stopped because they thought it was way too curvy to be a ballerina um
70
so i stopped how do uh american men differ from italian well i only know people in porn
71
so i can only speak about performers versus um non -performers
72
and of course i know italian men really well
73
because i i live there you know rocco yeah well i mean rocco he's i started with him actually okay
74
but he says its own personal there's no many Italian performers
75
so I can't you know I can't really compare talk about
76
maybe European porn versus American porn people tell me they can
77
tell the difference yes here people value time way more than
78
in Europe Europe you're gonna stay on set for real long time
79
and no much is happening
80
so well they have to have coffee right yeah I've seen also English people they have stopped for tea yeah
81
I haven't used that in two years, but I left them while I fix you.
82
Oh, you left them here?
83
Yeah.
84
Because sometimes I take luggages and I try to do a lot of things.
85
But you need to be back.
86
I was going to randomly left for Covid going on in 2019 and they were shutting down everything
87
and I remember Trump said he was going to stop on
88
the flight from Europe I was like I have to leave now
89
and I will not be able to leave otherwise for a really long time Okay.

121
Just pick it up.
122
Oh, no, no, just pick it up.
123
Would you rather be famous or infamous?
124
I think in Italy I'm kind of both because I have feminists and the Catholic Church hating on me, but then I have all the people who watch porn who love me
125
and then there's those guys in between who did your cough
126
but with hate so so you're kind of infamous
127
and famous yes all right toss
128
that card we don't need it anymore don't throw it i like
129
when they throw them it's more dramatic go right at me oh that's kind of sexy
130
that was kind of sexy your car yeah damn thing if you could have sex with anyone in the
131
world I mean with experience I learned
132
that I have to fuck someone before to know
133
if I want to fuck them or not like someone can be good -looking
134
but then really by that sex so I don't like
135
and right now I get turned on a lot by video games characters more than yeah yeah
136
which one do you want to have sex with bionetta's father
137
interesting that's the first time we got that one all right get rid of
138
that card that was hot okay last one last one
139
How did it get started in porn?
140
So before porn I was webcamming
141
and before webcamming I was basically webcamming for free like I
142
would just webcam with people to learn about their sexuality so
143
when I learned I could make money I was like okay I'll do it you know
144
so I can get out of my house
145
and at the same time study and then
146
while I was doing it I always dreamed about being born
147
so send an email to Rocco Sifredi and he replied
148
and after three months I was on his set
149
and that's how I started
150
so I'm guessing he's been inside your butt of course yeah it's funny to me
151
when the girls go on his set and they don't want to do anal
152
but he's of course trying to get in there i'm like
153
it's rocco no it's like you go to a mexican restaurant
154
and then you complain that it's spicy right you're like you're like exactly
155
yeah just don't go there don't go there don't go there
156
you don't like anal don't go to a rocco set period i even know
157
that right all right that was that let's get on the next part of our programming Thank you so much. Have fun.
158
Yay!
159
I will.
160
All right, love it.
161
Thank you.

Over deze les

In deze les oefen je Engels spreekvaardigheid door een natuurlijk gesprek te analyseren en na te spreken. De video bevat een conversatie met Valentina Nappi, waarin ze over haar leven, reizen en passies praat. Je leert hoe je informele dialogen begrijpt, de intonatie nabootst en nieuwe woorden in context gebruikt. Dit is perfect voor wie IELTS spreekvaardigheid wil oefenen of gewoon vloeiender wil praten.

Belangrijke woorden en zinnen

  • Archaeological site: Archeologisch terrein (voorbeeld: "Ik woon bij een archaeological site met Griekse ruïnes").
  • Avant-garde: Avant-garde (in de context van eten: "Dit restaurant serveert avant-garde gerechten").
  • Indisposed: Onbeschikbaar (voorbeeld: "De directeur is momenteel indisposed").
  • Visual arts: Visuele kunsten (voorbeeld: "Ze combineren visual arts met eten").
  • Lifespan: Levensduur (voorbeeld: "Elke chef heeft een eigen lifespan").

Oefentips

Gebruik de shadowing techniek om je spreekvaardigheid te verbeteren. Herhaal de zinnen direct na de sprekers in de video, met dezelfde snelheid en toon. Let op de informele toon: Valentina praat relaxed, met korte pauzes en natuurlijke intonatie. Gebruik een shadowing app of een shadowing site om de audio te herhalen en je prestatie te vergelijken. Voor IELTS spreekvaardigheid oefenen is het belangrijk om niet alleen de woorden te leren, maar ook de flow te begrijpen. Herhaal de delen over het restaurant "Alchemist" meerdere keren: deze bevat complexe zinnen die goed zijn voor je taalvaardigheid. Oefen elke dag 10-15 minuten, en je zult zien dat je vloeiender praat en beter begrijpt!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
