Oh, my God, you are all alone on Father's Day.

What happened?
3
We'll give you company.
4
Hi.
5
No, it's fine.
6
We celebrated this school.
7
Whoa.
8
You're not 43.
9
You must work out, like, every day.
10
Yeah, I keep in shape.
11
Not like when I was in my 20s, but, uh...
12
Come on.
13
Any guy that ripped is more into his own ass than yours.
14
Yeah, I mean, like, seriously, is that all you do?
15
Oh, my God.
16
I remember I fucked this model once, and while we were having sex, I caught him doing crunches in the mirror.
17
It was the gayest thing ever.
18
I take somebody that's older and more experience over an Abercrombie model any day.
19
Yeah.
20
Well, hopefully one day you'll find both.
21
I don't know.
22
Underwear models are the kind of guys you fuck when you're 14.
23
That's a statement.
24
This is your wife?
25
Yep.
26
I want to see it.
27
Wow.
28
She's so pretty.
29
She's beautiful.
30
You're a lucky guy.
31
Yeah, I certainly am.
32
I'm just an architect, but, uh, she's the real deal.
33
Most of what you see is hers.
34
She made all these?
35
Yeah.
36
Wow.
37
They're so pretty.
38
I love these colors.
39
What's my favorite?
40
This is amazing.
41
I actually studied art history.
42
I'm no expert.
43
I was only there for a semester, but...
44
this...
45
this is like a Gaudi building.
46
It's small.
47
Oh, God.
48
Yeah, my wife loves Gaudi.
49
She was, uh.. she was born in Barcelona.
50
Like me?
51
Oh, like me?
52
De verdad.
53
De que parte de Barcelona.
54
Allí conocí a mi esposa.
55
Yo tenía cinco años cuando nos fuimos a Madrid.
56
English, English, you guys sound too sexy.
57
That's about the extent of my Spanish anyway.
58
My kids speak it perfectly.
59
Your wife's an amazing artist.
60
Why are these sculptures here?
61
They should be on, like, MoMA.
62
Actually, um...
63
It's not exactly MoMA, but she's having a big gallery show in L.A.
64
Karen Alvarado.
65
That's such a pretty name.
66
An architect and an artist?
67
You guys are, like, the perfect couple.
68
And she's so hot.
69
You must have sex, like, all day.
70
No. What?
71
I would.
72
That's belly for you.
73
She sees a hot girl and chases after her.
74
Well, it's okay.
75
I have no complaints.
76
Sorry, I was just being honest.
77
No, no. It's fine.
78
But, uh, I must say I'm not used to girls just being so open about that. About what?
79
Sex?
80
No, I mean, yes.
81
Yeah.
82
Yes.
83
It's just sex.
84
Right.
85
Now you seem old.
86
Oh, my God.
87
I'm sorry.
88
I'm so sorry.
89
Thank you.
90
I know.
91
20 minutes away.
92
How long have you and your wife been together?
93
I was 29 and she was 20.
94
It's been a while.
95
So you haven't been with anyone else in all those years?
96
Fourteen years.
97
Nope.
98
Wow.
99
How's it even possible?
100
Well, when you love someone...
101
Come on, Evan.
102
Humans are the only species that practice monogamy.
103
I mean, we're animals.
104
We're more animals than animals.
105
It's in our DNA.
106
Like, being with one person your whole life is going against your own nature.
107
Look, it's like this.
108
I understand men.
109
I know whenever I get married, my husband is going to want to be with other girls.

¿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.
