2
I'll see you next time.
3
What do you do when you find yourself staring into a space?
4
Empty, yet terrifying.
5
It's a phenomenon that's gained widespread attention in the past couple years, due to the nature of our ever -evolving world.
6
Things are changing, closing, being forgotten,
7
and in their wake are derelict spaces that evoke a nostalgic comfort, yet our brains seem to strangely reject them.
8
We feel like we've been there.
9
We associate memories with images that we've never before seen,
10
and for some reason, we become stuck in this trance of eerie fascination.
11
This sensation is caused by liminality, a term deriving from the word liminal, meaning something that's occupying a position at,
12
or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold.
13
Something that is within transition.
14
With widespread interest catalyzed by subreddits, forums, and social media, the internet has served as a vehicle for sharing pictures of liminal spaces with others.
15
This has effectively paved the path for various forms of media and online storytelling to and capitalize on it, resulting in a myriad of personal stories,
16
creepypastas, and indie games to play on the uncanniness that comes with them.
17
Contrary to this relatively recent rise in online popularity though, liminal spaces are nothing new.
18
In fact, the concept of liminality has always existed among us.
19
We've just never really noticed it.
20
What is it about source maps that unnerve us?
21
Is it the feeling of loneliness?
22
the emptiness that comes with the very purpose of a landscape?
23
Or is it perhaps the fact that we can hear the sounds of other humans carrying out their lives in the distance,
24
yet in our eyes, we're the only ones here?
25
It's a funny feeling that, a feeling of confused anticipation as we await people that will never come.
26
Contrary to the evidence around us, buildings, furniture within a cozy apartment, beer in the fridge, nobody ever will.
27
Throughout the late 90s and into the 2000s, video games were playing on the trope of liminal spaces without even knowing it.
28
Gary's Mod and Silent Hill are two that come to mind immediately, and while Gmod was more of an accidental case,
29
Silent Hill was a bit more on the nose.
30
Everything about it is interwoven with the very fabric of what makes liminal spaces so creepy to us.
31
Isolation is always the forefront, with the player being left to explore a town that is years past its time.
32
Hospitals, foggy streets, a theme park, a subway system, and even an apartment that you're unable to leave.
33
Every single game is stuck in a bizarre state of transition.
34
Nothing is bustling and alive anymore, but you sure as hell aren't in this place alone.
35
No Players Online is a 2019 indie horror game that takes this notion and cranks it up to 10.
36
Everything about it is liminal.
37
We expect the game to be littered with other players.
38
We have the overwhelming sentiment that the space we're currently exploring was, at one time, the home to thousands of multiplayer matches.
39
Yet, we're alone.
40
No players are online, but us.
41
And I think this is where most of the lingering dread of a liminal space stems from.
42
The anticipation, the expectation that someone else should be around, as is life.
43
yet there isn't.
44
It's the foundational rejection of loneliness that's hardwired into our brains, and when this loneliness is portrayed through art and even photos of reality,
45
that is where the uncanniness sets in.
46
You know, autophobia is something inexplicably and terrifyingly unique, and you never really know it until you're in it.
47
at school after hours, at a hotel pool when no one's around, the very last one in a shopping mall.
48
There are so many cases for situations like this,
49
and the beauty of the internet is that we're able to share pictures and stories of spaces that terrify us, together.
50
Whether it's through gaming or reality, liminal spaces and their play on our natural fear of loneliness are terrifying
51
and regardless if we ever figure out why they're so eerie, it's irrefutable that they'll always persist in the dark depths of the internet.
52
There's something of a reminder,
53
a memento, a lens into a world that is and will always be nothing but a burning,
54
fading, and ever so distant memory.
55
It's late at night, and cozied up in your room watching creepy YouTube videos.
56
There are seemingly endless, but there is one channel that I'd like to highlight tonight night.
57
It's called Flora Seated Dreams, and at first glance of their channel, we can notice the absurdity with their thumbnails.
58
Their content is just as cryptic and heavily resembles various ARGs that we've encountered in videos past.
59
It's in Spanish, but that doesn't discount how strange it is.
60
At the end of the day, though, you might be wondering, why are we talking about this tonight?
61
night.
62
In the midst of scouring for topics to cover, I was sent an email by a person named Joshua.
63
A link to this channel and their explanation of it states the following.
64
After Spanish cartoons broadcasted in Mexico, there used to be a PSA showing missing people with their pictures and info on their last known whereabouts.
65
One girl that showed up consistently was named Celine Delgado, and her only picture was of very poor quality, eerie, and her features were very vague.
66
The actual video's in Spanish, but from what I understand, they suggest that that she doesn't actually exist
67
and was artificially made specifically to appear unsettling so people would better remember the broadcast.
68
Interesting.
69
The video in question was uploaded on September 2nd of this year and is titled, Cinética del Patron, Celine Delgado.
70
Let's have a look.
71
Evento, Celine Delgado.
72
El N delgado, es un patrón de rostros artificiales.
73
The rostros are built artificially and simulate human faces to generate emotions wanting to generate super normal stimuli.
74
to assert the hypothesis that the face of a woman named Celine Delgado, quote, kinetically fits non -human AI -generated faces using the constant tau.
75
They go forth to explain the uncanny valley and how facial reconstructions cause uneasiness in those that encounter them.
76
Following this, they superimpose various faces with the resulting images off to the right.
77
And among these, Celine's face is shown mashed up with various others.
78
They display a few examples that are admittedly eerie and ultimately argue that the identity of this Celine Delgado is,
79
as Joshua stated, artificial.
80
Now, this is a lot to unpack, but considering that it's something that we haven't looked into prior, I found it worth considering.
81
So who is Celine Delgado and how did she become wrapped up in this eerie shroud of urban legend?
82
Throughout the 1990s, there was a TV segment run on Channel 5 in Mexico, named Servicio de la Comunidad, or Channel 5 Community Service.
83
As Joshua stated, it was a TV spot that ran between children's cartoons in hopes of spreading the word about various missing persons.
84
The segments, contrary to what we're gonna discuss later tonight, actually contain voiceovers giving various details and last locations of missing persons.
85
And at first glance, these are mostly tame.
86
When you really look into it though, the eerie nature of these TV spots stems from when you consider how
87
Channel 5 handled the case of just one person, Celine Delgado.
88
Over the years, her face would reportedly pop up in nearly every Servicio de la Comunidad segment, utilizing this exact same low -quality photo.
89
There were times where they give a bit of background info about her,
90
like the fact that she went missing on April 22nd and was just 18 years old.
91
But what cemented her case into the minds of thousands of people came nearly 30 years later.
92
It goes without saying that the videos you're currently viewing are very obviously works of fiction.
93
They were part of a stunt pulled by Channel 5 on their official
94
Twitter page throughout 2019 and 2020.
95
During this time, they were known to upload obscure, eerie videos to their account, only to delete them just hours later.
96
It was an antic that ultimately catalyzed their rise to the Twitter trending page on numerous occasions,
97
and also drives home the point that this real -world TV channel is not above messing with you.
98
In the midst of these posts, though, came one that involved a familiar name, this one.
99
Posted after midnight on the 20th of February, 2020, we can clearly make out the name, Celine.
100
Given that she was what many presumed to be an actual missing person
101
that was constantly broadcasted on a kid's channel over the span of years
102
and gave birth to a new sort of urban legend that the Floresita Dreams channel was entertaining.
103
the hypothesis that this person is potentially not real.
104
The major argument stems from her missing photo.
105
Many have stated online that it appears common, basic, and fake.
106
This, combined with the lack of any online record that has ever been found about her, has led to a breeding ground of online hearsay,
107
creepypastas, and hoax videos to command the conversation about her.
108
Now, when I stumbled upon this video in my research, I, among many others, had initially assumed that this footage was real.
109
Keeping in mind the other hoaxes and pranks that
110
Channel 5 has played on its viewers, combined with the unconventional nature of these broadcasts being played on a kid's channel,
111
I didn't doubt that they'd pull a prank like this to make her name stick with you.
112
Ultimately though, as is the case with many works of media online, this too was a hoax.
113
but that doesn't discount the weirdness of this story.
114
The way that
115
Channel 5 has and is handling her name makes it seem like she's nothing
116
but a tall tale and unfortunately given the nature of the internet many have run with this notion.
117
Regarding the real case of Celine Delgado unfortunately nothing has ever come of it.
118
She has as far as anyone knows never been found and and her case has sat that way for decades.
119
Personally, I think Celine Delgado, contrary to the rumors online, is indeed a real person.
120
The argument presented about her having a fake face just doesn't seem plausible.
121
Her image is low quality because it was the 90s.
122
Her record likely did exist, but was never digitized.
123
The uncanniness of this image would be exponentially higher if this actually were fake,
124
and it just doesn't make sense for a channel to slip a random,
125
fake person in their broadcast that would most likely never have been noticed back then.
126
To me, Celine Delgado was a real person, a real person with a story that likely never received any sort of closure,
127
and a person that is now forever wrapped up in the realm of urban legend.
128
But of course, that's just my conjecture.
129
From the span of April 8th to April 9th, 2015, a devastating superstorm would wreak havoc on much of the central United States.
130
27 tornadoes ranging from EF -0 to EF -4 would touch down within the span of just 36 hours, resulting in immense devastation throughout Kansas,
131
Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, and Illinois.
132
While most of them are rated as an EF -1 or lower, by far the most destructive would impact a small rural town named Fairdale.
133
Reaching wind speeds of up to 200 miles per hour, this 41 -minute
134
that storm surge would ultimately become infamous as one of the worst natural disasters to impact the region in nearly 25 years.
135
On the evening of April 9th, an 85 -year -old man named Clarence Schultz had just wrapped up dinner with his wife, Geraldine.
136
He was in the other room getting cleaned up when she suddenly called him back into the kitchen.
137
Look out the window, she claims, and when he does, Clarence would come face to face with the scene straight out of a nightmare.
138
Immediately, he heads upstairs to grab supplies while she stays behind, and while up there, he pulls out his cell phone to take a quick video.
139
What he was unaware of though, was that while taking this footage, the tornado wasn't heading away,
140
but rather straight towards them.
141
We'll be right back.
142
Clarence Schultz didn't make it back to his wife.
143
But thankfully, he did make it out of this alive.
144
Geraldine, however, wasn't quite so lucky.
145
In the moments following the video, the storm destroyed the Schultz home, and Clarence resultingly found himself caught in a pile of rubble.
146
All of a sudden, it kind of got quiet, he recalls.
147
I asked myself, are you dead?
148
No, you can't hurt when you're dead.
149
And I hurt.
150
Geraldine Schultz was one of two deaths and 11 injuries that were caused by the events from April 9th.
151
The other, their neighbor and longtime friend named Jacqueline Closa.
152
Closa reportedly had a massive fear of spiders, which her daughter claims is why she didn't seek refuge in her own basement.
153
In total, over $19 million in damages were reported, and the aftermath footage embodies the devastation that was left behind.
154
Thankfully, a storm of this magnitude hasn't struck the area since then.
155
And after a grueling years -long recovery effort, life in Fairdale is mostly back to normal today.
156
For the residents of this small town though, the scars from that night will remain everlasting.
157
While the incident in Fairdale is just one of hundreds of natural disasters that have happened over the years,
158
the resident stories and the media that accompany them paint a picture that is humbling.
159
It takes you there in a way, conveying the tragedy that nobody could have predicted.
160
Today, Fairdale stands strong.
161
They are a community that banded together, and while a similar storm hasn't happened since then, they remain vigilant in case something like this ever happens.
162
Again.
163
9 -1 -1, what are you reporting?
164
Yeah, my house is getting robbed right now.
165
On December 1st, 2019 in Michigan, a man named Christopher Neal,
166
his wife Haley Coe, and their two -year -old daughter Charlotte were watching TV at home.
167
The family had just moved here from North Texas, so they were still getting settled in.
168
All things considered, the night was going okay, and nothing was out of the ordinary.
169
At around 10 p .m., the three hear a loud noise at the front of the house and sounds like an intruder.
170
And so Chris heads to investigate while Haley stays behind to call 911.
171
It was at this point when Chris would encounter an unknown man standing near his front door
172
and immediately he too calls the authorities.
173
The following audio takes place the moment the call center answered.
174
house or an apartment?
175
House at the end of the street.
176
Why are you in my house, girl?
177
Tell me when you talk to her.
178
You don't get a speakerphone.
179
Why are you in my house, though?
180
Sir, how many other people are in your house?
181
It's me, my wife, and our daughter.
182
How old is your daughter?
183
She's two.
184
Two?
185
Okay.
186
Do you have any idea who he is?
187
You don't know.
188
Let my wife I'm not going to harm you guys.
189
All right?
190
I promise.
191
Take my hand.
192
Unimportant in Jones.
193
You can go.
194
I'm not going to harm you.
195
Where is William at right now?
196
He stayed up next to me in my hallway.
197
Okay, are we still on speakerphone?
198
We still are.
199
He's right here.
200
Okay.
201
William.
202
Yes, ma 'am.
203
William, okay.
204
Can Christopher and his wife and daughter step outside?
205
No. What?
206
They're safe.
207
They're safe?
208
They're safe.
209
What are you doing in their house?
210
I told you they're shots fired.
211
Where were shots fired at?
212
What's that?
213
Stop right here with me, man.
214
No, I ain't going anywhere with me.
215
You're going there with me, man.
216
Bro.
217
Shut it right now, please.
218
William.
219
William.
220
Yes, ma 'am.
221
What are you trying to have them do?
222
He's coming in the room with me.
223
That's it.
224
Why is he coming in the room with you?
225
Why are you locking that door?
226
Don't lock that door, bro.
227
You're all right, man.
228
I can tell you my word, man.
229
You're straight.
230
I get what you're saying, but you've got two guns, bro.
231
You've got two guns?
232
I'm trying to get crazy, man.
233
I'm not doing anything.
234
I'm not getting to my house, man.
235
I'm sorry, man.
236
William, listen to me.
237
Why are you here in the first place?
238
William, can you listen to me?
239
Yes, ma 'am.
240
I need you to put those guns down because I've got officers that want to help you.
241
I have officers that want to help you and keep you safe, so I need you to put those guns down.
242
Who are you, ma 'am?
243
I'm 911.
244
I've got help for you.
245
I need you to put those guns down so that they can get you the help that you need.
246
I want police here.
247
The police are there, William.
248
The police are there.
249
They are there.
250
They're there.
251
I've got a lot of deputies there.
252
Listen, I'm not harming you.
253
I promise.
254
My word.
255
My wife just got threatened, man.
256
I hear you, bro.
257
You understand me?
258
I hear you.
259
It got threatened last night.
260
Okay, I get you, bro.
261
I'm not harming you, or your children, or your wife.
262
William.
263
Yes.
264
Hey, this is Joe from the Sheriff's Department.
265
How are you, man?
266
slide your bad st underneath the door.
267
Don't come through that door.
268
Okay.
269
We're not going to come through the door, ma 'am, but I just want to talk to you and find out what's going on.
270
Don't come through that door.
271
Slide your bad st underneath that door, ma 'am.
272
Well, I'm not even up by the door, ma 'am.
273
I'm outside the house.
274
What else?
275
Stop fighting against me, ma 'am.
276
What's got y 'all worked up today, ma 'am?
277
Hello?
278
Hello?
279
Hello?
280
Is this Christopher?
281
No, Christopher's dead.
282
Contrary to the man's claim, Chris wasn't dead the moment he said it.
283
Minutes later, though, he would be.
284
After hearing the gunfire, police forced their way into the home.
285
During their advancement, three officers were shot in what sustained non -life -threatening wounds.
286
Hey, what's your name, man?
287
Hey, this is Joel out here, okay?
288
Man, we don't want anything bad to happen.
289
We're not going to hurt you.
290
Man, listen to me, please.
291
No harm.
292
Right in the back when you reach the door.
293
Say that again, man.
294
Once they charged towards the bedroom that Jones was hiding out in, they'd encounter Neil lying on the floor with the bedroom window ajar.
295
Outside of it was Jones trying to flee.
296
However, his efforts were in vain.
297
William Jones ultimately faced 19 felony charges and was accused of killing Christopher Neal and wounding three officers.
298
He was reportedly well known in surrounding counties as a thief and home invader, and astonishingly, just five days prior to the murder,
299
he was released from jail after serving time for a previous offense.
300
During his arraignment, his defense attorney maintained his innocence,
301
claiming that Jones was running from an attacker that night and ultimately sought refuge in the Neal home.
302
I think the 911 audio speaks for itself.
303
However, it'll ultimately be up to a jury in his eventual trial.
304
Since the incident, Haley Ko has given birth to the couple's second child and is now raising them alone.
305
With this, their oldest daughter will be forever scarred by the loss of her dad that night, and their youngest will never know him.
306
Christopher Neal died protecting his family, protecting his family from a lifelong criminal.
307
And no matter if Jones is sentenced to life in prison with justice served,
308
the Neal family will forever have to live on without a husband and without a father.
309
Average of a missing persons investigation is not a whole lot to go on
310
and that is why we need Saturday evening 1989.
311
Central and North America are recovering from a recent category 5 hurricane.
312
United States President -elect George H .W.
313
Bush is preparing to swear in as the 41st president with just under a week to go.
314
And on Channel 5 up in Chicago, Illinois, an NBC -affiliated news station by the name of WMAQ is wrapping up its nightly programming.
315
In relation to the other two, a news station broadcast keeping up the status quo doesn't seem all that notable or interesting.
316
And to be honest with you, it isn't.
317
Rather, it's what transpired afterwards that's piqued my interest.
318
It's extremely subtle, but after being discovered relatively recently, the footage you're about to watch has opened the door to a mystery that's perplexed a small
319
but growing corner of the internet. Have a look.
320
This is WMAQ -TV, Channel 5, NBC Television in Chicago.
321
We now leave the air and wish you a pleasant good morning.
322
It's a rarity that something as simple as a missing notice can fill me with such uneasiness.
323
And I think it's because this TV spot is so obscure.
324
This image is incredibly low quality and there's effectively nothing to compliment it.
325
No height, weight or age, no information about where they were last seen, no family contacts, no investigative progress reports,
326
no voiceover to fill you in, absolutely nothing.
327
This just exists as a late night post -broadcast info screen shown at a time
328
when most viewers likely directed their attention elsewhere.
329
All we're left with is the name Joanna Lopez, a poorly lit photo of her face,
330
and a now defunct phone number that's been found to lead to the youth division of the Chicago Police Department.
331
Something about the way this was presented just seems off, and considering the current online discourse about it, I'm not alone in feeling this way.
332
Two years later, in 1991, WMAQ would once again wrap up their nightly broadcast.
333
In a strikingly similar and almost random fashion, Joanna's missing notice would be played once more.
334
Considering the blink -and -you'll -miss -it nature of the notice this time, it too fell on deaf ears.
335
There was, again, no supporting info about her, no updates that might have cropped up in the prior two years, still no age, height, weight, nothing.
336
Just this obscure photo with the word missing plastered on top of it.
337
Given how long it was since the last update, combined with the implied lack of any progress in the search,
338
it was beginning to seem that the chances of finding Joanna were dwindling as the days went by.
339
and to date not a single other update had ever come of this Joanna Lopez has presumably never been found.
340
In late 2020 and into 2021, Joanna's mysterious missing notice would finally be shared to Reddit.
341
Two posts are known to have spearheaded the conversation, one by a Luke Inspire and another by a Chris Polygon.
342
While Luke Inspires came first, I wanted to focus on Chris's as the this one prompted the most discussion.
343
Simply titled, The Very Obscure Disappearance of Joanna Lopez.
344
Their post in Unresolved Mysteries outlines most of what we've already touched on so far.
345
They go forth to claim that they have looked through various missing persons resources, however have found absolutely no information about her.
346
Considering this is a subreddit devoted to discussing the unsolved, others quickly chimed in with theories on what they think might have happened.
347
I think she was a runaway and was found pretty quick.
348
Maybe she ran away again in 1991 and they used the same picture.
349
1989 and 1991 are not that far apart and if she was in foster care, I doubt they had up -to -date pictures of her.
350
Such a strange case.
351
Wow, this one is strange.
352
I found the number listed here as the youth division of the Chicago Police Department.
353
legit.
354
I don't have the guts to call it, but it's there.
355
Sounds like she escaped some kind of juvenile detention or probation.
356
If it weren't for the reappearance of the photo two years later, I'd be inclined to believe that's exactly what happened.
357
But then she was found and returned with her case never having a chance to escalate to federal involvement.
358
The fact that it aired again in 1991, however, makes me think she was never found.
359
And in the pre -internet days, her case simply slipped through the cracks.
360
I hope I'm wrong.
361
Throughout all of these though, one comment stood out among the others.
362
Posted by a proud evening star, they claimed the following.
363
Came across this post late last night and it creeped me out so much that I couldn't sleep for a while.
364
It really is so sad to think that a person can slip through the cracks like that and seemingly vanish altogether.
365
I've been scouring the Doe Network for unidentified
366
Jane Doe's in and around the Chicago area all morning, and the only possible case I could find is from 1994, here.
367
I really hope we can find closure on this.
368
My heart breaks for her.
369
Interesting.
370
Heading to that link presents us with a Jane Doe, 276 UFIL.
371
She was found deceased in an alleyway, naked from the waist down.
372
It goes without saying that our working evidence is tenuous.
373
However, lining up this photo with that of Joanna Lopez, while considering the time and location in which she was found,
374
postulating that this woman is Joanna isn't out of the realm of possibility.
375
I've done some digging on various missing persons from around the time period and have also come up short with results.
376
There are quite a few from around Illinois.
377
However, their dates of discovery don't quite line up with the two missing broadcasts.
378
It seems to me that proud evening star has found the most plausible visual match out of nearly all the 1990s
379
Jane does from the area.
380
But even this leaves us with much to be desired.
381
At the end of the day, the case of Joanna Lopez is one that is undoubtedly haunting.
382
Barring how obscure the photo itself is, the lack of information, the visuals that accompanied the broadcast,
383
and the fact that there is virtually no discussion or record about her ever existing aside from this brief video archive online,
384
this case is enveloped an absolute mystery.
385
I implore you to join the discussion in finding this girl, and if you know or remember anything about her,
386
myself and countless others are all ears about it.
387
In the worst case scenario, we won't get anywhere, and this mystery will remain. But...
388
The best case, reaching any sort of closure.
389
That is what I'm aiming for.
390
The internet harbors a vast abyss of content that is perplexing, intriguing, and immensely haunting.
391
A community thriving off sharing derelict areas around the world.
392
An internet urban legend that engulfed the name of someone who has never been found.
393
An unforeseen natural disaster that wreaked havoc on a community.
394
A 911 call in the midst of a home invasion.
395
And a missing persons broadcast that never found a resolution.
396

Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | we've been · has served · has always existed |
| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | being forgotten · is caused · being left |
Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 105 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ you're, I'm, they're. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “th”: underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/, threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/, hypothesis /haɪˈpɒθɪsɪs/, altogether /ɔl.tuˈɡɛð.ɚ/
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: closure /ˈkloʊ.ʒɚ/, transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, notion /ˈnoʊʃən/, anticipation /ænˌtɪs.əˈpeɪ.ʃən/, explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: reportedly /ɹɪˈpɔːtɪdli/, hypothesis /haɪˈpɒθɪsɪs/, anticipation /ænˌtɪs.əˈpeɪ.ʃən/, explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/, ordinary /ˈɔɹdɪnɛɹi/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: broadcast /ˈbɹɔːd(ˌ)kɑːst/, legend /ˈlɛd͡ʒ.ənd/, amidst /aˈmɪdst/, discount /ˈdɪskaʊnt/, segment /ˈsɛɡmɛnt/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: legend /ˈlɛd͡ʒ.ənd/, footage /ˈfʊtɪd͡ʒ/, badge /bæd͡ʒ/, closure /ˈkloʊ.ʒɚ/, refuge /ˈɹɛfjuːd͡ʒ/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: wrap /ɹæp/, badge /bæd͡ʒ/, transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, crack /kɹæk/, glance /ɡlæns/
Cách luyện với video này
- Nghe hết video một lần, chưa cần nói, và ghi lại những từ bạn chưa biết.
- Nói đuổi từng câu ở tốc độ bình thường, lặp lại mỗi câu đến khi nhịp của bạn khớp với người nói.
- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như broadcast, obscure, legend.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
