La canzone di oggi \u00e8 davvero un evergreen<\/em>, un classico senza tempo amato e cantato da diverse generazioni. Sto parlando di un grandissimo successo di Stevie Wonder che\u00a0fu scritto principalmente per la colonna sonora del film di Gene Wilder\u00a0La signora in rosso<\/a>\u00a0(The woman in Red<\/em>) del 1984.<\/p>\n

Essendo stato scritto per una commedia brillante, il brano \u00e8 una ballata romantica dalle sonorit\u00e0 ritmate e coinvolgenti e[su_highlight background=”#d5dbfe”]il testo descrive come un giorno qualunque possa diventare straordinario se si ha il coraggio di dichiararsi alla persona che si ama.[\/su_highlight]\n

Alla sua uscita I Just Call to Say I Love You\u00a0<\/em>fu un successo planetario\u00a0e rimase in vetta alle classifiche di mezzo mondo;[su_highlight background=”#d5dbfe”]nel 1985 vinse addirittura un Golden Globe e un Oscar come miglior canzone (sbaragliando brani come Against All Odds<\/em>\u00a0di Phil Collins, Footloose<\/em>\u00a0e\u00a0Ghostbusters<\/em>).[\/su_highlight]\n

E adesso? La prima cosa da fare \u00e8 ascoltare con attenzione il brano: il testo \u00e8 chiaro e comprensibile e le parole sono ben pronunciate perci\u00f2 che tu sia un livello beginner<\/em>, intermediate<\/em> o advanced<\/em>\u00a0troverai il\u00a0listening<\/em>\u00a0piuttosto semplice.
\nMa da Stevie\u00a0possiamo imparare una cosa in particolare: gli usi di just, <\/em>una\u00a0parola usata spessissimo in\u00a0contesti e con funzioni diverse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n No flowers bloom<\/span><\/em>
            \n No wedding Saturday within the month of June<\/em>
            \n But what it is, is something true<\/em>
            \n Made up of these three words that I must say to you<\/em><\/p>\n

            I just called to say I love you<\/em>
            \n I just called to say how much I care<\/em>

            \n No Halloween<\/em>
            \n No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring<\/em>
            \n But what it is, though old so new<\/em>
