1
Are you totally nervous too?
2
Oh yeah.
3
I'm like dying right now.
4
A viral New York Times article featured 36 questions that could supposedly make any two people fall in love.
5
We wanted to see what would happen if we asked these questions to two complete strangers on a blind date.
6
I'm Dani.
7
I am single.
8
I've never really been in a relationship, but what I'm looking for in a person, I don't know, just fun.
9
I'm really scared actually.
10
But like excited, nervous.
11
Hopefully my hands don't sweat or something.
12
Hi!
13
Hi!
14
I'm Danny.
15
Andrew.
16
Nice to meet you.
17
Nice to meet you.
18
I'm Andrew.
19
Right now I'm just trying to meet people
20
and have a general idea of what type of person I would like to meet, to meet but not trying to put on any blinders.
21
What kind of tea do you like?
22
I don't know.
23
Um, peppermint.
24
Yeah, I like peppermint.
25
You good with peppermint?
26
That's peppermint.
27
This is fun.
28
Are you excited?
29
I'm excited and nervous.
30
Yeah, me too.
31
Would you like to be famous?
32
And in what way?
33
No. No?
34
Never.
35
Really?
36
No, I don't think so.
37
I feel like that would be so much pressure to have, to be something for everyone.
38
I just think you'd have to be something for everyone. Would you?
39
No, not really.
40
I mean, I wouldn't.
41
Or I wouldn't feel like obligated to be famous for.
42
Like, what would you be famous for?
43
Oh, I don't know.
44
I guess be famous for myself or be famous for something I've done that brought value.
45
Like a famous singer?
46
I mean, it'd be cool to be talented like that.
47
Yeah, right.
48
But, no, I wouldn't want to change for people.
49
I feel like obligated to be who they wanted me to be.
50
If they like you, they like you.
51
If they don't, they don't.
52
Yeah, I get that.
53
Do you want some tea?
54
Yeah, that'd be great.
55
Is it like...
56
Hopefully that's steeped enough.
57
I don't know if it is.
58
Does it taste peppermint-y at all?
59
Or is it just straight water?
60
No, it's just really nice warm water.
61
Do you want to pour it back in?
62
Or is that weird? Is that?
63
I don't think so.
64
It's gonna go all over the place.
65
Just do it.
66
Are you totally nervous too?
67
Oh yeah.
68
I'm like dying right now.
69
It's okay.
70
Okay, if a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else.
71
What would you want to know?
72
What would I want to know?
73
I would want to know who and when I, like, get married.
74
Really?
75
Yeah.
76
You would want to know that?
77
Yeah.
78
That's cool.
79
What about you?
80
What would you want to know?
81
I don't know that I would want to know anything.
82
Really?
83
Nothing?
84
Yeah, I like just being surprised by life and I wouldn't want to know when I was going to die.
85
I get like some people can sometimes, like if you know you're going to die, like you can really truly live because you know you've got like limited time,
86
but I'm not sure I would choose that.
87
I think it would change too much how I would live.
88
Like you wouldn't really live, you would be so focused on like getting things done before.
89
Yeah.
90
Yeah.
91
Is it my turn?
92
Alright, I'm gonna find a good one.
93
I'm gonna attempt at doing this again, we'll see.
94
Ooh!
95
There we go.
96
Crushed it.
97
I like your little sayings.
98
Crushed it, sick.
99
Do I do that?
100
It's really cool.
101
It's very San Diego.
102
Cheers.
103
Oh, yay.
104
What roles do love and affection play in your life?
105
Oh, gosh.
106
Yeah.
107
Hmm.
108
I think I get a lot of love and affection from, like, my family and, like, close friends, so, I don't know.
109
That's like a weird question to ask.
110
That's a weird question.
111
Like, what roles do they play?
112
Like a big one?
113
I guess for me, because, like, right now I'm so new to LA, like, I don't have anybody here yet.
114
You will.
115
I know I will, but, like...
116
I don't open up easy.
117
No?
118
Like it's hard for me to get to know people.
119
Like I get to know people really well and quickly, but it's hard for me to really get to know people.
120
Yeah, like it takes a while.
121
Exactly.
122
Yeah, I get that.
123
And I work all the time.
124
So right now it's...
125
What do you do?
126
I'm a personal trainer.
127
I work in Beverly Hills as a personal trainer.
128
Oh, that's fun.
129
Getting people to the point of where like they fall in love with themselves, that's better than Mindy Desk job.
130
That's awesome.
131
That's really cool that like you're finding fulfillment in that too.
132
Yeah.
133
Because like not a lot of people get to do that, you know?
134
Yeah, find fulfillment in their jobs.
135
And I'm young enough to where I can figure it out.
136
Yeah, totally.
137
What was the question?
138
I don't remember.
139
Complete this sentence.
140
I wish I had someone with whom I could share blank.
141
Probably just my life with.
142
It's like somebody that is always there for you.
143
And you can come home if you've had a bad day at work.
144
And be like, this thing happened.
145
And they just kind of are there for you.
146
Like the good and the bad things.
147
I like that.
148
Like, yeah.
149
What about you?
150
My cooking.
151
Really?
152
Oh my god, you cook?
153
I'm a huge cook.
154
I cook all the time.
155
What's your favorite food?
156
Chicken paprikash.
157
That's a Hungarian dish, I guess.
158
Are you a Hungarian?
159
My dad's family was, yeah.
160
But it's like a chicken and like a paprika gravy.
161
I love paprika.
162
It's so good, yeah.
163
I'm gonna have to figure it out.
164
I can make it for you sometime.
165
I'll be down, let's do it.
166
Let's do a cook-off.
167
We should.
168
That would be fun.
169
That would be a blast.
170
Tell your partner something you like about them already.
171
I feel like you have a very calming presence, and I really enjoy that, where it's like I'm not as stressed.
172
That's good.
173
Yeah.
174
I'm super nervous.
175
Really?
176
It gets more calming.
177
It doesn't really come off.
178
Really?
179
Yeah.
180
I feel like my face is seizing up because I'm so nervous.
181
Really?
182
No. You seem very chill, and I like that.
183
I was gonna say, you seem very relaxed and easy going, which is not something I've run into in LA at all.
184
Really?
185
After the first couple weeks, I was like, not gonna meet anybody here.
186
It's gonna be hard.
187
Yeah.
188
You're very genuine.
189
Me?
190
That's what it is.
191
Okay.
192
It's genuine.
193
It was like this nice, really, I don't know, real, which is so hard, because I feel like LA is a city that worships everything and values nothing.
194
Nothing, yeah.
195
Oh gosh, final task without speaking, stare into each other's eyes for four minutes?
196
Four minutes?
197
That's a long time.
198
Oh my gosh.
199
I could look at you for four minutes.
200
Pretty easily.
201
We can't talk while you're looking at each other for four minutes?
202
It's a challenge.
203
I'm always down for a challenge.
204
Oh my god.
205
Andrew, I don't think anybody's ever looked at me for four minutes.
206
I was
207
definitely really, really, really, really, really, really nervous and I got a lot less I was nervous and it was very different than I expected.
208
She was really cool.
209
She's like super pretty.
210
I feel like a lot of it was, I was like wow this guy's really attractive, sweet, down-to-earth, just generally nice person.
211
Then I was thinking wow nobody's ever looked at me this long or like this ever I think.
212
It felt really nice.
213
I felt like everything that she was was like real.
214
I like that.
215
That was a lot easier than five.
216
That wasn't that bad!
217
It wasn't bad at all.
218
It went so good.
219
He's like beautiful, so there's that.
220
And he's so nice.
221
So I was like really, that was really fun.
222
They're probably gonna ask us, like, would you go out again?
223
But should we ruin it for them?
224
I kind of expected to be like, do you guys want to go on a second date?
225
Sure, yeah, let's do it.
226
And then like, follow me on Instagram.
227
Cool, here's my handle.
228
And then like, never talk again.
229
Like our pictures occasionally, but like, I don't get a feeling like that is what's gonna happen, so we'll see.
230

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
