Creating lesson...
1
Uh...
2
Please, no. No vanilla.
3
Great.
4
Let me start with John Watts, because I just interviewed him, and he said that Jake was on your I want to act with list.
5
Yes, absolutely.
6
Yeah, he was.
7
Absolutely.
8
Tell us about reading it, about the instant chemistry that you guys seem to have had.
9
It was pretty instant, wasn't it?
10
I think maybe the fastest kind of friendship that I've ever had on a set before.
11
It was just obvious that we're going to have a lot of fun making this movie.
12
And I think we knew from the get -go that the movie was going to be really cool, which always makes it easier because you can kind of relax a little bit.
13
But of course Jake was on the list of actors that I'd really want to work with.
14
And I'm just so lucky that at the age of 23, I got to do it in a Spider -Man movie.
15
You look really pretty.
16
Therefore, I have value?
17
No. No, that's not what I meant at all.
18
I was just...
19
I'm messing with you.
20
Thank you.
21
You're welcome.
22
You look pretty, too.
23
Tell us about what you're most excited for the audience to see.
24
Obviously, we don't want to give too much away, but, you know, the friends of Spider -Man get quite shaken and stirred in this one.
25
I think it's definitely the movie will have all the action, I think, that we all know and love and are excited about.
26
And it's actually, it's somehow they've been able to raise the stakes and make it even bigger than the last film, which is really fun.
27
But also, I think there's just a lot of humor.
28
Yeah, the good balance.
29
A lot of funny moments, a lot of touching, sweet moments, so, I don't know, kind of hits all the boxes.
30
Again, like, even better.
31
I'm glad you're here.
32
Me too.
33
Well, talk about traveling the world.
34
Do you enjoy promoting it while traveling the world or filming it while traveling the world?
35
Both occasions don't allow for a lot of sightseeing and exploring.
36
Well, the filming definitely allows for the sightseeing because we're filming in the places you'd want to sightsee.
37
and what's quite cool is you get to see them in a capacity
38
that you wouldn't do if you were just a tourist.
39
You know, you go to these amazing places and they lock off a certain area.
40
I think you have access to incredible things, what makes the job so special in a lot of ways.
41
I think Nick Fury just hijacked our summer vacation.
42
Awesome!
43
Tell us both about working with Tom.
44
What is so special about him in your eyes?
45
He loves the role.
46
He loves being Spider -Man through and through, And I think this is truly his dream role.
47
And I think that that true passion and excitement about playing the character, I think, is the reason why he's so good at it,
48
but also why people love seeing him as Spider -Man.
49
Who is that guy?
50
He's like Iron Man and Thor rolled into one.
51
What's up, loser?
52
Do you feel that Instagram helps a little bit with that
53
because you own your narrative on Instagram and then you're able to share experiences?
54
What I like about Instagram and what I've learned from Zendaya is
55
that it's really important to make your Instagram an accurate representation of who you are as a person.
56
You see lots of Instagram accounts and you're like, there's no way you're like that in real life.
57
Like this is the fake you that you want people to see.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
