The Italian Miscellaneous Podcast🖐 

La mia esperienza da studente!

Language lovers, tune in!

I hear this question, “How can I sound more like a native English speaker?” all the time, and I always give the same response. Use the shadowing technique!

Shadowing involves repeating someone's speech immediately after they say it. It's like you're following them as your shadow follows you. The beauty of this technique is that anyone can do it alone. Since most people learning a second language don't have the opportunity to speak with native speakers often, speaking it on your own is the next best thing. This method isn't only for English learning; it will work for all languages!

Tune in to the latest Express to Impress podcast episode to learn how to implement the shadowing technique. Learn about its origins and get tips to implement it effectively.  You’ll be inspired by the stories I share of people who have attained near-native English fluency and pronunciation by using this technique. By the end, you’ll be convinced the shadowing technique is an incredibly powerful English learning tool!

王老师的中文班来了个留学生，他对中国的汉字非常感兴趣。这天，他上街回来找到王老师，不解的说：“王老师，你们中国人太不谦虚了。”
　　“为什么这么说？”王老师感到惊讶。“因为我看街上有很多大招牌，都是自我炫耀。比如：中国很行，中国人民很行，中国农业很行，中国建设很行，中国工商很行。”
　　王老师听了才知道他把“银”看成“很”了。
An foreign student came to Mr. Wang's Chinese class. He was very interested in Chinese characters. One day, he came back from the street to find Mr. Wang and said incomprehensibly, "Mr. Wang, you Chinese are too modest."

"Why do you say that?" Mr. Wang was surprised. "The big reason is that I see many big signs on the street, all of which are self display. For example, China is very good, the Chinese people are very good, China's agriculture is very good, China's construction is very good, and China's industry and commerce are very good."
After listening, Mr. Wang realized that he regarded "silver" as "very".

很行（hěn xíng）very good      银行（yín háng）bank

 Ciao a tutti/e! Oggi il nostro podcast  esplora le affascinanti storie e leggende di uno dei dolci più amati del nostro paese. Parleremo di uno dei dolci natalizi più iconici: il panettone. Scopriremo insieme le sue origini medievali, le tradizioni e le leggende che lo circondano, e la sua evoluzione nel corso dei secoli.

Dalle prime testimonianze documentate nel 1470, passando per le ricette dei cuochi rinascimentali, fino alle innovazioni del XX secolo, il panettone ha una storia ricca di curiosità e cambiamenti. Vi racconteremo di come un semplice pane di frumento si sia trasformato in un dolce arricchito con burro, uova, zucchero e canditi, diventando un simbolo delle festività natalizie in Italia e nel mondo.

Non mancheranno le leggende che hanno contribuito al fascino del panettone, come quella del garzone di Ludovico il Moro e del falconiere innamorato. Concluderemo parlando del panettone moderno, dalla produzione artigianale a quella industriale, e di come continua a essere celebrato oggi.

Preparatevi a un viaggio gustoso e appassionante nella storia del panettone! Buon ascolto!
