Well, that's the look that we want.

Sorry, have I got the right flats?

Sarah, yeah?

Come for the ballet shoes?

Yeah.

Just a minute.

So if they want ballet shoes?

They'll have a conventional nature but with an adventurous love of the arts.

Perfect.

Plus, limber, if you receive me.

Where did you get ballet shoes?

From a dancewear boutique.

It cost me a fair bit, but it's an investment.

And why are you using my flat, exactly?

My place has got a bit of a men's hostel vibe.

It's a bit rank, a little bit seamany.

Hello again.

So, as new, my sister bought them and then just went right off ballet, got into bowling, different shoes.

And this is the Squarepusher CD.

Oh, can I just take the shoes?

The advert did say they go together.

Shoes, CD.

and this speed goes with it.

It's a package.

Right.

I don't want the CD or the speed, thanks.

Then I can't give you the shoes, love.

Sorry.

Bye.

She obviously wasn't right, Mark.

Might have to finesse the formula.

Do you want to buy some ballet shoes, do you, mate?

How much?

We'll see you next time.

¿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.
