6
After their wedding, they bought an old van and traveled across Europe and Asia to Australia.
7
They arrived in Sydney with only 27 cents in their pockets.
8
Everyone they met asked them about their journey, so they decided to write a book about it.
9
They wrote a 93-page guidebook called Across Asia on the Cheap at Their Kitchen Table, and it sold 8,000 copies in three months.
10
C. Tony and Maureen spent the next 18 months traveling around Southeast Asia and then wrote their second guidebook, Southeast Asia on a Shoestring,

in a Singapore hotel room.

I think we've done a good thing, says Maureen, and I still believe that travel is the best way for people to understand the world.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
