1
So glad you could make it.
2
And happy St. Patrick's Day.
3
Sam did one of those ancestry websites.
4
It turns out I'm 10 % Irish.
5
And more Neanderthal than you'd expect, but they didn't have a T -shirt for that.
6
Oh, uh, Mark wants to see us in the barn.
7
He has an estimate for the roof repair.
8
He said he could e -mail it, but he wanted to see the look on our faces.
9
Do not like the sound of that.
10
Hey, Sunil, um, you want to come?
11
The police tape's still up.
12
Maybe I could take a picture of you and the chalk outline.
13
It's really nice of you, Jay, but I think I'm just gonna stay here and finish my breakfast.
14
This poor cousin.
15
I was gonna make a joke about how bad things are when a 500 -year -old virgin is feeling sorry for you, but then I restrain myself.
16
Thank you, Alberta.
17
It's very thoughtful.
18
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
19
Today, my people celebrate by getting very drunk instead of just the normal amount.
20
I can make those jokes now.
21
Yeah, you were really holding back before.
22
Wow, everyone really seems to be in the St. Paddy's Day spirit around here.
23
Were you talking to me?
24
Well, I mean, there's no one else in here.
25
Oh, my God, he can see her.
26
What is happening?
27
Are you a guest?
28
No, I am not a ghost.
29
He said guest!
30
Oh, yes, I am a guest, not a ghost.
31
I'm Sunil.
32
My name is Henrietta.
33
But they call me Hetty.
34
Uh, could I offer you some coffee, or...?
35
This is so frickin' weird.
36
No, thank you.
37
I...
38
It goes right through me.
39
Anyway, bye.
40
Yeah, yeah, bye.
41
This is incredible.
42
You can be seen by the living?
43
Wait, can you touch stuff?
44
No, I'm sadly unable to interact with the physical world, which I discovered moments ago after attempting to access Samantha's pill cabinet. But why?
45
Why can she be seen now, What if it's because it's St. Patrick's Day and you're Irish?
46
Interesting.
47
But then why has this never happened before?
48
Maybe because you never saw the Irish's people before, but now that you do, you can also be seen?
49
I wonder if this is permanent or if this is just, like, for the day.
50
That'll go a long way to determining which tier ghost power this is.
51
What's this?
52
There are tiers to ghost powers?
53
Seemed insensitive to mention before we knew you had one, but yes, there's tier one, the godlike powers.
54
That's me and Trevor.
55
Excuse me, my dream thing is also Tier 1.
56
Adjacent.
57
Then there's Tier 2, that's Flower and Thor.
58
Sort of neat, but not really that useful.
59
And then there's Tier 3, which is very useful in some highly specific situations.
60
Eddie.
61
Hello.
62
Sunil.
63
Hello.
64
I just wanted to tell you that your gown is stunning.
65
I feel like nobody dresses up anymore, and I think it's a real shame.
66
Excuse me, is it totally on?
67
Well, you look rather dapper yourself.
68
Oh, she used the D word.
69
It is on.
70
Um, I was going out for a walk.
71
Would you care to join me?
72
Oh, you're not planning on leaving the property, are you?
73
I don't think so.
74
Then absolutely, I would love to.

¿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.
