their own thoughts their own opinions on how to live life
39
i think everyone has you know like a conception in their head of how they want to be treated, how they want other people to feel about them.

that issue later and compartmentalize that to a very specific time of their life.

anxiety thoughts and I truly think the answer is to just get a life.

Go do things, go outside, hang out with friends.
55
These loops need to be stopped because at the end of the day they really don't benefit anyone especially you.

59
That is the ultimate question isn't it?

No, nothing except more anxiety

65
the trap of it you know I think people can say

¿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.
