L’uomo delle caverne
[ intermediate / advanced ]
For the past 25 years, Ra Paulette has been carving out man-made caves from the sandstone hills of New Mexico, and then sculpting these spaces into works of art he calls wilderness shrines. Lee Cowan has the story of an artist who does his best work underground.
Hi, everyone ,
Thanks for this video.
Hi Marcella. Did you find it reasonably easy to follow?
Wow! Unbelievable. Such a stunning and breathtaking work. Thanks for sharing
It’s pretty amazing, isn’t it? How did you get on with the listening?
I don’t have difficulties with this kind (documentary) of stuff because generally they speak easy and clear. The difficulties come up with films and/or tv series, especially when the language is rich of phrasal verbs, strange constructions and… slang.
For example “pull over” instead of “stop”
I know what you mean. I have the same problem with some American films where there is a strong regional accent and a lot of slang! Documentaries are often a good starting place for listening practice because, as you say, the language is easy and clear. At the most you may come up against some vocabulary problems.
