Description
What's the idea?
I prepared a short series of textbooks (and I'm working on new ones) focused on:
- Natural conversation
- Phrases that can be used in daily and professional conversations
- PDF files with audio
- Effective for speaking, listening and pronounciation
- Shadowing
1. A section with dialogue + audio
2. A section with vocabulary, expressions and phrases
3. A section with written sentences + audio to allow you to practice the shadowing technique.
What is shadowing? Shadowing is a method that consist in repeating a sentence right after you've heard it, like "shadowing", while listening to a stream of audio. First, check the content of the conversation and the meanings of individual words. Then, follow the script with your eyes while listening to the audio. Next step, while listening to the audio, recite the words only in your head, without saying them out loud. Then listen to the audio and recite immediately afterwards. The final step is to shadow the audio faithfully without looking at the script. Even just 10 minutes of practice every day will really help.
You can listen to the dialogue and the sentences as many times as you need while cooking, commuting or in front of your desk, and you can repeat after the recording to improve your pronounciation.
How does it work?
You choose your topic and I will send you the PDF and the MP3.
You can buy a single course or 2 at a time to take advantage of a discount, but I strongly suggest you practise with one single textbook until you feel that you master the conversation and the exercices completely.
Finally, you can complete this course with an additional "feedback" one so I will correct your pronounciation or explain unclear grammar or vocabulary points.
Here are the topics available at the moment:
- All'hotel
- Chiedere informazioni
- Il meteo
- Il reclamo telefonico
- Parliamo d'affari
