I'll never be able to speak on it.
3
I don't know nothing like this relationship.
4
I never have in my life.
5
I never had-- even my parents, even my father, you know, I never had what I got with her, which is, No. To enter my life to be with me,
6
she had to take a loss.
7
She had to like eat shit to be with me.
8
To be with me, she had to...
9
To re -enter being a part of my life, she had to take a hit.
10
um, in ways that I've spoken about before and in other ways too probably, you know?
11
And, uh, - What I know love to be is selfless loving action.
12
And I've never known anything as loving or as selflessly active as what this woman did for me in my life.
13
She showed up for me at a time when, I mean this is the first time I saw her, we had been estranged for like years because of my jealousy.
14
She went and did a movie with another actor
15
and I thought she was cheating on me so then I cheated on another baby.
16
It was just a fucking mess.
17
It's some weed shit.
18
Yeah, weed shit.
19
Yeah, little boy shit, like nonsense.
20
And we hadn't talked for two years when all this shit hit.
21
And I wound up at this rehab, right? in Utah.
22
and they do something called Family Week.
23
And every week, on a Sunday, everybody who's involved in the program has their family show up on these Skype calls.
24
and everybody will show up in the same room.
25
And your mother, your father, your brother, your sister, your wife, your friends, whatever.
26
- Just you and the people?
27
- No, it's you, the whole squad of you that are in this group, like 12 of us in my class.
28
- And everyone's family.
29
- Everyone's family pops up on the screen.
30
And week one, no one shows up for me, no one.
31
They got the calls, I know they got the calls, but no one showed up.
32
My mother, my father, no one, no one showed up.
33
Manager, friends, no one showed up.
34
Week two, same thing.
35
So I'm sitting in this room, and even the person who's like therapizing me, she's starting to feel like this She's empathizing with where I'm at.
36
Everybody else in the room, we got a dude who like, you know, this isn't just alcoholics and shit.
37
This is like fucking arsonists and like child predators and all kind of wild people in this group, right?
38
And they got people showing up for them.
39
And I don't have nobody showing up for me.
40
Amen and Week two, week three, I'm there 90 days, so I'm there for a clip.
41
And there comes a point where Family Week comes around, I say to my therapist, like, I'm not gonna go.
42
Like, I don't want to subject myself to this shit.
43
Like, I'm on a path and, you know, let me just stay here.
44
Like, I don't want to keep reminding myself of how fucked my situation is.
45
And, um, And she says, "No, I think you should show up this week." And I show up thinking, all right, my mom's going to be on there.
46
You know, my mom will be on.
47
Yeah.
48
Mia is on the screen.
49
And, you know, like...
50
Amen.
51
You don't deserve that kind of shit, you know what I mean?
52
You don't deserve that kind of shit.
53
Like.
54
Like...
55
I don't deserve that kind of shit.
56
You know, I done put her through years and years of fucking nonsense, bro.
57
Just like...
58

59
And I don't have nothing to offer her either, you know what I mean?
60
I'm in the middle of my shit, you know?
61
I'm fucking like...
62
I'm like...
63
I'm like two months into this program.
64
I don't even have nothing going on.
65
I don't even have no...
66
I have nothing.. nothing going on.
67
I'm making this list.
68
She's at the top of the list, but I...
69
I'm not reaching out to her or nothing like that. And, uh...
70
You were her voice like she's like a fucking angel - Everybody does their shit.
71
I'm fucking gone.
72
You know, so they let her go first cuz I can't even fucking believe
73
and they all know cuz I had no family show up
74
And she just she unmutes and she's like hi Shia just like She's prepping a movie, she ain't got no fucking time for this,
75
you know, but she found time and she said hi Shia.
76
And uh, we just smiled, we had nothing else to say.
77
But she saved my fucking life, you know, I'm like...
78
Before the kid, before the job, before fucking, before God, before any religion, before any, before a laugh, before a laugh, before a laugh,
79
before a laugh, before a bow, before a phone, before anything, was this woman's face.
80
There wasn't no promises made, wasn't no long conversation being had, nothing.
81
Just her presence, the ministry of presence.
82
Sometimes that's all you need to offer a person who's in a situation like that, is like, just to be present.
83
And she was present for me at a time when I didn't deserve to have nobody in my life.
84
Especially her.
85
And I'm not trying to do this bullshit.
86
'Cause I.. right away my head goes to like, "How's this being viewed?" I'm such a fuck this way, but...
87
- No, no, you're good.
88
You can come on, man.
89
- Yeah.
90
Uh...
91
She's a real one.
92
She's a real one. And...
93
I'll never be able to.
94
- I'll never be able to.
95
It's the first time I really understood love because I have nothing to give.
96
And I was sitting there thinking like, well, I don't have nothing.
97
It's not sexy to be with me.
98
Don't you get it?
99
Like, people out here accusing me of like putting makeup on my genitals and like shooting dogs and shit.
100

101
That's what I'm being accused of.
102
And you're showing up for me like you're gonna be tied to this shit?
103
It didn't make no fucking sense.
104
And love is irrational that way.
105
You can't rationalize real love.
106
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
107
And I had spent my whole life trying to rationalize it.
108
Like, ah, this dude hits me up.
109
He's in my corner because we fuck with the same crap.
110
He loves this thing that I got.
111
That I'm like, I'm G with this shit over here.
112

  2. Pratica il shadowspeak: Inizia a ripetere le frasi, cercando di imitare il ritmo e la cadenza. Non preoccuparti della perfezione; l'obiettivo è familiarizzare con il suono della lingua.
  3. Analizza le frasi: Focalizzati sulle frasi che hai raccolto. Vai alla ricerca di termini o espressioni che puoi usare nella tua vita quotidiana.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
