1
I went on a date last week.
2
How'd it go?
3
It was good.
4
You going out again?
5
I don't know.
6
Why not?
7
I haven't called her.
8
You're an amateur.
9
I know what I'm doing.
10
Yeah.
11
Yeah.
12
Don't worry about me.
13
I know what I'm doing.
14
Yeah, but this girl's like, you know, beautiful.
15
She's smart.
16
She's fun.
17
It's different from most of the girls I've been with.
18
So call her up, Romeo.
19
Why?
20
So I can realize she's not that smart, that she's fucking boring?
21
You know what I mean?
22
This girl's, like, fuckin' perfect right now.
23
I don't want to ruin that.
24
Maybe you're perfect right now.
25
Maybe you don't want to ruin that.
26
But I think that's a super philosophy, Will.
27
That way you can go through your entire life without ever having to really know anybody.
28
My wife used to fart when she was nervous.
29
She had all sorts of wonderful little eosyncrasies.
30
You know, she used to fart in her sleep.
31
I'm sorry I shared that with you.
32
One night it was so loud it woke the dog up.
33
She woke up and got like, oh, is that you?
34
See, I didn't have the heart to tell.
35
Oh, God.
36
She woke herself up.
37
Yes.
38
Oh, Christ.
39
Ah, but, Will, she's been dead two years, and that's the shit I remember.
40
Wonderful stuff, you know?
41
Little things like that.
42
Yeah, but those are the things I miss the most.
43
The little idiosyncrasies that only I knew about.
44
That's what made her my wife.
45
Oh, and she had the goods on me, too.
46
She knew all my little peccadilloes.
47
People call these things imperfections, but they're not.
48
Oh, that's the good stuff.
49
And then we get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds.
50
You're not perfect, sport.
51
And let me save you the suspense.
52
This girl you met, she isn't perfect either.
53
But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other.
54
That's the whole deal.
55
That's what intimacy is all about.
56
Now, you can know everything in the world, sport, but the only way you're finding out that one is by giving it a shot.
57
You certainly won't learn from an old fucker like me.
58
Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell a pissant like you.
59
Now, why not?
60
You told me every other fucking thing.
61
Jesus Christ.
62
If I can talk more than any shrink I've ever seen in my life.
63
I teach this shit.
64
I didn't say I know how to do it.
65
Yeah.
66
You ever think about getting remarried?
67
My wife's dead.
68
Hence the word remarried.
69
She's dead.
70
Yeah.
71
Well, I think that's a super philosophy, Sean.
72
I mean, that way you could actually go through the rest of your life without ever really knowing anybody.
73
Time's up.

¿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.
