Hey, do you want to work on this together?
98
You know how to do percentage?

Sometimes you just have to think outside the box to get to the root of the problem.

That's what my son and I always do.
102
So, come on, show us your problem.
103
Here.
104

There's no problem walking you to your daughter.
106
The class is completed.
107
Yay!
108
Thank you.
109
I finally realized what the problem was.
110
What the hell is going on here?
111
Do they teach floor cleaning theory in an elite school now?
112
Well, there must be some sort of misunderstanding.
113
Joan, why aren't you cleaning the school?
114
Why are you taking a break?
115
I'm sorry.
116
I was just helping her out with her math problem.
117
You're supposed to be cleaning, and you're supposed to finish it in one hour.
118
And if you don't, you're fired.
119
Sorry.
120
Please don't call her.
121
John's been very helpful. With what?
122
Mia, don't be ridiculous.
123
Thanks to John, I finally saw how to approach these percentage problems.
124
Mia, what are you talking about?
125
You did a very good exam.
126
And there was one question of percentage problems.
127
Remember?
128
I didn't do that.
129
Oh, Mia, of course you did.
130
Oh, poor baby.
131
You're so tired.
132
Come on, get in the car or we're going home.
133
Mom, but...
134
Mia, get in the car now.
135
Um, can I see the paper, please?
136
Sure.
137
Are you kidding me?
138
You're gonna let some cleaning lady question what I say?
139
There must be some sort of mistake.
140
We've never had this problem in school before.
141
Oh, my.
142
That little Trump, she's jealous of Mia.
143
She's gonna pull the wool over your eyes.
144
Yeah.
145
Looks like Mia has a real talent.
146
Great.
147
It's all settled.
148
John, wait.
149
You've got it all figured it out.
150
Why didn't you tell him about a swap?
151
Because Mia is a very bright girl.
152
And today I saw that she does belong in this school.
153
Wait, and you did it for my daughter despite everything I've done?
154
It's not your daughter's fault that her mother is prejudiced against people like me.
155
But.. but if you had told the truth, your son could have studied here.
156
He could.
157
But thanks to his talent, he could choose a different path.
158
Last week he was accepted into the state school for gifted children.
159
Wow, what a smart boy.
160
Yeah.
161
Look, John, can you stop for a second?
162
John, for a second, just stop, please.
163
What?
164
I'm sorry.
165
I shouldn't have done that to you.
166
You helped my daughter with those problems and...
167
Mia did it all by herself.
168
All she needed was a little guidance.
169
In fact, if I could spend, like, another hour with her, she could ace in her test tomorrow. Can you... Can you do that?
170
No can do.
171
losing my job again you know what I think I know how to apologize to you
172

¿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.
