Your leg?
5
I have broken my ankle.
6
I've done that.
7
But, like, I hope to God it wasn't, like, the femur or something.
8
Because you could, like, die from that if it goes off.

But, like, you would literally have to, like, sit with your feet up and then somebody jump on.

that was plausible to say to her but it wasn't possible
39
so i said there's there's only one thing for it you're gonna have to break my leg um
40
so he took his volkswagen caddy van and ran over my ankle oh oh

¿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.
