It's very fucking tiny.

We got the kitchen in the same room as the bedroom.

We got the bathroom right next door.

Yep.

This is where we start.

You know, it's like, I think $3,000 a month.

317

An amazing real estate agent.

318

You're gonna go very far.

319

Hi, guys, this is the building right here.

320

I would point at it,

321

but it's too cold out.

322

This building was okay.

323

I think it's a little pricey, a little pricey.

324

I like the penthouse, but the views,

325

man, the views of Hell's Kitchen wasn't that nice.

326

Overall, I rate the building a 7 out of 10, I guess.

327

All right, guys, the next building we're at,

328

19 Park Place in Tribeca, I think.

329

So, yeah, let's go check this one out,

330

right under the World Trade Center.

331

Oh, someone been here?

332

This one has some tastes so far.

333

Big-ass fridge.

334

Oh, is this another one of those?

335

Does this house just have no bedroom?

336

Bedrooms are, uh, not safe.

337

Yeah.

338

There's two bedrooms right here.

339

Nah, it's not.

340

It's down here.

341

Let's check it out.

342

Yeah, bedroom and then another bedroom.

343

Okay, bet.

344

Oh, this is nice.

345

Ow.

346

Oh.

347

So it's not on sale.

348

Can you go up here?

349

So you can see the private roof terrace.

350

Private roof.

351

All mine.

352

And it comes with this gym,

376

you know, when I could just go to Equinox right up the street.

377

378

I think the second one had some taste and you could see the World Trade Center.

379

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
