40
What are you talking about?
41
He didn't just fail to eradicate a bed bug infestation.
42
He actually created one.
43
Yeah, he pulled the carpet from one of his old buildings, carpet that was already infested, and then he reinstalled it in my client's apartment to drive him out.
44
That's crazy.
45
You might want to warn your client about perjury.
46
We've got sworn testimony from the installer.
47
And a picture of the same carpet from one of his old buildings before it was renovated.
48
By the way, my wife and I really love what you've done with the place.
49
So it looks Just like we're talking about, what, assault?
50
Violations of rental codes, health codes, and, you know, just basic codes of human decency.
51
And if a jury in New York heard all that?
52
Wow, imagine the damages.
53
Harvey, spectate, please.
54
Just get that carpet out of here!
55
So, Vivian, how am I doing for my first time?
56
This still counts as my first time, doesn't it?
57
Now, let's talk about how much this is gonna cost you.
58
Yes?
59
Just thought you'd like to know your case, the pro bono.
60
I won.
61
How exciting for you.
62
Like I said, it's just a pro bono case.
63
It's not going to help your career.
64
I did also manage to sign 15 new clients who are all suing for the same harassment, and they will be paying.
65
So you can multiply this number times 15.
66
It's not bad for Rookie League.

¿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.
