1
What's up them people?
2
It's your boy RD and today I'm gonna be answering you lots assumptions about me.
3
Let's get it, I'm ready.
4
You're always the last one to leave the party.
5
Your assumption could not be more true.
6
I'm always getting bagged up by my team.
7
Like, you know, it's not the same as when you was younger or when you weren't in a public image.
8
You can't be the last one to leave the club or the party all the time.
9
It's dangerous for you and etc. etc. etc. Your bank account has seven figures.
10
My bank account is nobody's business apart from my accountants, mine and my business managers.
11
No one is getting that answer out of me.
12
Next assumption is you were always getting in trouble at school.
13
I wouldn't say I was always getting in trouble, that's more like true and false.
14
I was always getting myself out of trouble in school.
15
So the trouble would start and I'd have my gift of the gab
16
and my way of getting around things and that's So I ended up being one of the only, if not the only person out of all my mates that were expelled from the school and that.
17
Do you secretly wish you were taller than H?
18
Nah, I really, genuinely actually don't.
19
Obviously, large of the boy, but if confidence is all about height, everybody wouldn't assume that he's my height.
20
They'd all assume that I'm his height.
21
So, he secretly wishes he was my height.
22
Because then everyone would be right about what they assume about him.
23
You prefer blondes over brunette.
24
I prefer personality over hair colour because you can change that all the time.
25
I was about to say you're true, but there's two females in the room watching them.
26
One's kind of blonde and brunette, so I thought let's play that one safe.
27
I've always been confident.
28
Yeah, your assumption again is correct.
29
I think that comes from just how I was raised and out brought up and being just happy in my own skin.
30
And if you do like me, sick.
31
And if you don't, sick.
32
Have a great day.
33
You get plain at Nando's.
34
No, I do not.
35
That assumption is wrong.
36
I love me some spice.
37
I'm always trying different spices.
38
And I'm the only person in my family that eats hot sauce.
39
And yeah, so you're wrong.
40
Basically what you're trying to call me is like unseasoned and all them things there, which ain't the case.
41
My whole entire Nando's order, I'd get hot fires and maybe hot wings, I'm like mad hungry.
42
Then I get a medium wrap and then some halloumi cheese.
43
I don't get the chips, I hate peri-peri chips.
44
The salt is just like sand in your mouth, it's too much.
45
Like, it's just the texture of it, it makes me cringe.
46
You have a secret Instagram account?
47
I don't, you know.
48
This is a conversation I was having with someone recently and they were saying that a lot of artists have burner accounts.
49
But I don't, I do my thing all bare-faced.
50
Again, I don't really care if you think that it's like, oh, you should cover that up or whatever.
51
You keep your circle of friends small.
52
I feel like everybody knows at this point that it's absolutely correct.
53
You only ever see the same two faces with me in the videos.
54
You ain't see and know, oh, that's new, that's new.
55
You're gonna.. people recognise every single one of my friends now because I don't keep many of them.
56
Next assumption is you're always hungover.
57
I would say true, yeah, but I've been so well behaved recently, I just got to pat myself on the back a little bit.
58
So you're wrong, how about that?
59
But normally I am a hungover person, but it's only because I party kind of days in a row and I'm good at getting over hangovers.
60
So I party the first night, then I wake up, slap a fry up, sort my stuff out.
61
Strong-minded power through that, because that's the worst possible thing you could do for your hangover is stay in bed.
62
Get up and have a cold shower.
63
Stop being lazy.
64
You're the youngest child out of your siblings.
65
I am.

70
One million percent.
71
I love my hometown.
72
It's the reason I am who I am and why I am
73
and where I am and what I am and all of them things.
74
All the other cities I've been to, as lit as they are, you can't beat Brighton, but also the Brighton, you can have the best of both of
75
that mad peacefulness up on the downs and the hills and then go down to the nightlife and sick.
76
You're a mummy's boy, 100% love my mum to bits, she's my biggest fan, she never wants me to leave the house
77
and even started talking about she's gonna do a CP course
78
so that she can be part of security and that
79
which obviously I had to give a firm no to
80
because you can't follow me around everywhere that's absolutely mental but I do love her.
81
You prefer old school rappers to new school?
82
It depends in what sense.
83
UK wise I'd say that music's developed a long way
84
and there are loads of cold UK artists popping up everywhere at the moment
85
and more versatility and different sounds and whatnot but also I love grime and garage and things like that.
86
If you're talking American then a million percent I am not in tune really
87
and I should be as well as something
88
that I'm trying to keep up with now because they are cold The more I learn about it, there are some cold artists, like Gunner and Lil Baby and them people there.
89
But my playlist is old school.
90
You want loads of kids in the future?
91
Absolutely false.
92
Do you know what?
93
I don't want to say I hate kids yet, because that makes me sound so evil.
94
But you see when there's a child like four, five, six, and you have to have a conversation, and one, pretend you care about what they're saying about it,
95
and two, understand what they're saying and then you have to chat to them as
96
if they're like a person on your intellect level like it's just
97
so frustrating for me
98
and I can't be bothered 9 10 bit mature them couple years are good
99
and then they hit puberty and then you think they're bad
100
and it's like obviously yeah I know what I was like as a teenager
101
and I would not be having what I was doing you can't cook
102
if I could cook I'd be cooking a lot more often
103
I'd like to say I can my old man always tells
104
me anyone can cook you just have to follow instructions
105
and don't set the house on fire
106
but I don't do it I'm a delivery man
107
so large up delivery you're into more sportswear than luxury designer
108
100% this is definitely true apart from stone island obviously I'm always always in my stony
109
and I wouldn't necessarily call that sportswear like maybe back in the day but not anymore but Also, I've been getting into my design and stuff a little bit more.
110

¿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.
