This girl is deep.

Where's the back building?

It burned down in 1987.
32
Won't we get in some sort of trouble for this?
33
Why would we get you into trouble?

For your friends?

I know it's wrong to skip class,

56
In the name of all that is holy,
57
would you look at Karen Smith's gym clothes?
58
Of course all the plastics are in the same gym class.
59
Who are the plastics?
60
They're teen royalty.
61
If North Shore was Us Weekly,
62
they would always be on the cover.
63
That one there, that's Karen Smith.
64
She is one of the dumbest girls you will ever meet.
65
Damien sat next to her in English last year.
66
She asked me how to spell orange.
67
And that little one?
68
It's Gretchen Wieners.
69
She's totally rich because her dad invented toaster strudel.
70
Gretchen Wieners knows everybody's business.
71
She knows everything about everyone.
72
That's why her hair is so big.
73
It's full of secrets.
74
And evil takes a human form in Regina George.
75
Well, don't be fooled, because she may seem like your typical selfish backstabbing slut-faced hoebag,
76
but in reality, she is so much more than that.
77
She's the Queen Bee, the star.
78
Those other two are just her little workers.
79
Regina George.
80
How do I even begin to explain Regina George?
81
Regina George is flawless.
82
She has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus.
83
I hear her hair is insured for $10,000.
84
I hear she does car commercials in Japan.
85
Her favorite movie is Varsity Blue.

One time she met John Stamos on a plane.
87
And he told her she was pretty.
88
One time she punched me in the face.
89
It was awesome.
90
She always looks fierce.
91
She always wins Spring Fling Queen. Who cares?
92
I care.
93
I care.
94
Every year the seniors throw this dance for the underclassmen called the Spring Fling.
95
And whomsoever is elected Spring Fling King and Queen automatically becomes head of the Student Activities Committee.
96
And since I am an active member of the Student Activities Committee,
97
I would say, yeah, I care.
98
Wow, Damien, you've truly outgayed yourself.
99
Here, this map is going to be your guide to North Shore.
100
Now, where you sit in the cafeteria is crucial because you've got everybody there.
101
You got your freshman, rotz guys,
102
prems, JV jocks, Asian nerds,
103
cool Asians, varsity jocks, unfriendly black hotties,
104
girls who eat their feelings,
105
girls who don't eat anything,
106
desperate wannabes, burnouts, sexually active band-eats,
107
the greatest people you will ever meet, and the worst.
108
Beware of the plastic.
109
Hey, we're doing a lunchtime survey of new students.
110
Can you answer a few questions?
111
Okay.
112
Is your muffin buttered?
113
What?
114
Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin? By what?
115
Is he bothering you?
116
Jason, why are you such a skeez?
117
I'm just being friendly.
118
You were supposed to call me last night.
119
Jason, you do not come to a party at my house with Gretchen
120
and then scam on some poor innocent girl right in front of us three days later.
121
She's not interested.
122
Do you want to have sex with him?
123
No, thank you.
124
Good, so it's settled.
125
So you can go shave your back now.
126
Bye, Jason.
127
Yeah, cheers.
128
Wait.
129
Sit down.
130
Seriously, sit down.
131
Why don't I know you?
132
I'm new.
133
I just moved here from Africa.
134
What?
135
I used to be homeschooled.
136
Wait, what?
137
My mom taught me at home.
138
No, no, I know what homeschool is.
139
I'm not retarded.
140
So you've actually never been to a real school before?
141
Shut up.
142
Shut up.
143
I didn't say anything.
144
Homeschooled.
145
That's really interesting.
146
Thanks.
147
You're, like, really pretty.
148
Thank you.
149
So you agree.
150
What?
151
You think you're really pretty.
152
Oh, I don't know.
153
Oh my god.
154
I love your bracelet.
155
Where did you get it?
156
Oh, my mom made it for me.
157
It's adorable. So fetch.
158
What is fetch?
159
Oh, it's like slang from England.
160
So if you're from Africa, why are you white?
161
Oh my god, Karen, you can't just ask people why they're white.
162
Could you give us some privacy for like one second?
163
Yeah, sure.
164
OK, we should just know that we don't do this a lot.
165
So this is like a really huge deal.
166
We want to invite you to have lunch with us every day for the rest of the week.
167
Oh, it's OK.
168
Coolness.
169
So we'll see you tomorrow.
170
On Wednesdays, we wear pink.
171
Oh, my god.
172
OK, you have to do it, OK?
173
And then you have to tell me all of the horrible things that Regina says.
174
Regina seems sweet.
175
Regina George is not sweet.
176
She's a scum sucking road horse.
177
She ruined my life.
178
She's fabulous, but she's evil.
179
Hey, get out of here.
180
Oh, my god.
181
Danny DeVito, I love your work.
182
Why do you hate her?
183
What do you mean?
184
Regina, you seem to really hate her.
185
Yes.
186
What's your question?
187
Well, my question is why?
188
Regina started this rumor that Jenna's- Damien!
189
Shall we not?
190
Look, this isn't about hating her, okay?
191
I just think that it would be like a fun little experiment
192
if you were to hang out with them and then tell us everything that they say.
193
What do we even talk about?
194
Hair products!
195
Ashton Kutcher.
196
Is that a band?
197
You just do it, please!
198
Okay, fine.
199
Do you have anything pink?
200
Yes!
201
By eighth period, I was so happy to get to math class.
202
I mean, I'm good at math.
203
I understand math.
204
Nothing in math class could mess me up.
205
Hey, do you have a pencil?
206
I mean, a sub n equals n plus 1 over 4.
207
That's right.
208
It's good.
209
Very good.
210
All right, let's talk about your homework.
211
Hey, how's your second day?
212
Fine.
213
Were people nice?
214
No. Did you make any friends?
215
Yeah.
216
Having lunch with the plastics was like leaving the actual world and entering girl world.
217
Girl world had a lot of rules.
218
You can't wear a tank top two days in a row,
219
and you can only wear your hair in a ponytail once a week.
220
So I guess you pick today.
221
Oh, and we only wear jeans or track pants on Fridays.
222
Now, if you break any of these rules,
223
you can't sit with us at lunch.
224
Well, I mean, not just you, like, any of us.
225
Okay, like if I was wearing jeans today,
226
I would be sitting over there with the art freaks.
227
Oh, and we always vote before we ask someone to eat lunch with us,
228
because you have to be considerate of the rest of the group.
229
Well, I mean, you wouldn't buy a skirt without asking your friends first if it looks good on you.
230
I wouldn't?
231
Right.
232
Oh, and it's the same with guys.
233
Like, you may think you like someone,
234
but you could be wrong.
235
120 calories and 48 calories from fat, what percent is that?
236
Uh, 48 into 120.
237
I'm only eating foods with less than 30% calories from fat.
238
It's 40%.
239
Well, 48 over 120 equals X over 100,
240
and then you cross-multiply and get the value of X.
241
Whatever.
242
I'm getting cheese fries.
243
So, have you seen any guys that you think you're cute yet?
244
Well, there's this guy in my calculus class.
245
Who is it?
246
It's a senior.
247
His name's Aaron Samuels.
248
No!
249
No, no, no. Oh, no. You can't like Aaron Samuels.
250
That's Regina's ex-boyfriend.
251
They went out for a year.
252
Yeah, and then she was devastated when he broke up with her last summer.
253
I thought she dumped him for Shane Omen.
254
Okay, irregardless, ex-boyfriends are just off-limits to friends.
255
I mean, that's just, like, the rules of feminism.
256
Don't worry.
257
I'll never tell Regina what you said.
258
It'll be our little secret.
259
you

¿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.
