196
We are just guests.
197

199
we always take a little food with us.
200
We leave it on the ground and say,
201
Nature, please share with us.
202
Please give us some food.
203
It's for the master of that land, for the spirit.
204
You believe nature has a spirit? spirits.

220
It's a torture for you, but not for us.
221
The first reason is my family.
222
My family is here and for me the best is to be close to my parents,
223
to my brothers.
224
And secondly, I like the nature here, it's very pure.
225
The ecology is very pure and for me and for my future children,
226
breathing fresh air is very important.
227
Third, because of our culture,
228
I want to preserve our language,
229
our traditions and give them to the next generations.
230
Yakutsk has summers as well.
231
In July, the average daily temperature is about 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
232
Due to global warming, ice masks of our world is melting and mammoth corpses are coming up.
233
But also viruses fighting for thousands of years,
234
which modern humans have never met before, can come to light.
235
When Europeans migrated to North America,
236
the flu they took the Kunsa to the continent,
237
killed most of the Native Americans who had been isolated for centuries.
238
The flu didn't kill us because our immune system was strong.
239
Similarly, ancient diseases to
240
which we are not immune can come to light with the
241
melting of the ice in these regions of the world and have devastating consequences.
242
Thank you for watching.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
