1
We need to talk.
2
Okay.
3
I want a divorce.
4
Alright.
5
Alright?
6
That's all you're going to say?
7
What else should I say?
8
I thought you would ask me why.
9
If you want to tell me, I will listen.
10
You really don't want to know?
11
Not enough to stop you from doing what you've already decided to do.
12
You're not going to fight for our marriage?
13
Is that what you want me to do?
14
I don't know.
15
Then I won't.
16
You're making this very easy for me.
17
Good.
18
Good?
19
You said you wanted a divorce.
20
You're not angry.
21
No. You're not even going to cry.
22
Why would I cry in front of you?
23
Because you're losing your husband. Am I?
24
What does that mean?
25
You tell me.
26
I don't understand you.
27
You don't have to.
28
What if I walk out that door right now?
29
I will open it for you.
30
And you won't stop me?
31
No. What if I never come back?
32
Then I wish you well.
33
You would really let me go that easily?
34
You asked to go.
35
And if I change my mind tomorrow?
36
Then tomorrow you will have a different decision to make.
37
You really don't care?
38
I care.
39
Then why are you acting like this?
40
Because caring about you doesn't mean I have to control you.
41
You know what's strange?
42
What?
43
I thought you would be fighting with me by now.
44
Why?
45
Because I expected you to be angry.
46
To ask me what happened.
47
To tell me we could fix things. And now?
48
Now I'm starting to wonder why you're not doing any of that.
49
Maybe you should wonder.
50
Are you hiding something from me?
51
No. Then why aren't you afraid of losing me?
52
Who said I'm not afraid?
53
You don't look afraid.
54
Not everything you feel has to show in your face.
55
So you still love me?
56
Yes.
57
Then how can you sit there and watch your marriage fall apart?
58
I'm not watching it fall apart.
59
What are you doing?
60
Watching you make a decision.
61
And you're okay with it?
62
I'm okay with knowing the truth.
63
What truth?
64
Whether you actually want to leave me.
65
I told you I do.
66
Then leave.
67
You're making me feel like I'm the one being tested.
68
I'm not testing you.
69
Then what is this?
70
Your choice.
71
What if I told you I don't know whether I want to leave anymore?
72
Then don't decide while you're confused.
73
What if I want to stay?
74
Then stay.
75
Just like that?
76
What else should I do?
77
You wouldn't ask me to stay?
78
No. Why?
79
Because if you stay, I want it to be because you want to be here.
80
And if I leave?
81
I will accept that too.
82
You really mean that?
83
Yes.
84
Wow.
85
What?
86
Nothing.
87
You look disappointed.
88
I am.
89
Why?
90
Because this is not how I imagined this conversation going.
91
How did you imagine it?
92
I thought you'd look at me and ask me not to do it.
93
And you wanted me to?
94
I wanted to know that losing me would hurt you.
95
It would.
96
You don't look hurt.
97
Not everything that hurts needs an audience.
98
So that's why you're so calm.
99
I'm calm because I know what I can control.
100
And what can you control?
101
Myself.

¿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.
