Welcome to the show, mate.

It's good to meet you at last.

I'm so happy to be here.

Thank you for having me.

I'm such a fan.

Yeah, same.

You're doing incredible work, and it is work.

You've worked really hard to get to this place where you can step on stage at these festivals, and you can really make that impression,

which you already know is first for a lot of people.

Yeah.

And really walk off that stage and know that you left it all there.

And I'm watching these videos online like everybody else

and seeing these reviews and looking at the comments on my algorithm and whatever, and it's incredible, dude.

Thank you.

I am so happy that people are connecting with me and with my music.

My face is all over this room.

It's fucking creepy. But it's awesome also.

But also, and I mean this with the greatest of respect, you're not afraid of that.

Like there's darkness in your music and your imagery.

Like, I mean, it's only creepy to some degree because you've created an album cover, which is kind of creepy in a cool way.

Yeah, I have that little fuck ass smirk going.

I think this album cover is sick.

I think a lot of people don't really fuck with it, but I love it.

Why?

I don't know.

I think they just are like, what is this face that she's making?

I love it.

I think it's cool.

I mean, it looks like you've literally just jumped around the corner and surprised, and then you're out again.

That's right.

That's exactly what happened.

This was the last shot of the day, too.

It was not supposed to be the cover, but I love it.

It's very not polished, which is kind of what I am, I think.

Well, you're a paradox in that regard because you incredibly dialed into your craft and have put so much into this.

I feel like a life, you know, on this journey to get to this point.

But somehow you do want to keep it with edge.

It's got teeth.

I got teeth, you know.

I'm from Slovakia.

I have that

Eastern European feistiness to me.

Just ask my boyfriend.

I'm sure he'd talk.

I'm sure he wouldn't.

Yeah, I'm sure he would not, actually, if I did my job right.

Hopefully not but um yeah i think that's what i am

and i also yeah i think it's weird because i'm a ballerina

and i i value like technicality and singing and dancing

so much but i think that's why i needed to kind of break out

and be a little raw at times because ballet is

so perfect all the time where i felt like a little suffocated is

that why you decided to go from prima to pop star that's right

and now i get to do both hopefully prima pop star no you do and it's a beautiful hybrid you know

Because, and it's awesome how you've been able to explain to people very clearly through your craft

and also through your videos that like, I'm not just talking shit here.

Like I have the discipline to do that, but I don't have the discipline to see it through.

Because once you, am I right?

You're kind of right.

That's like ultimately what my life has always been.

I'm like, okay, this is cool.

Like there's a lot of like, there's a lot of like steps where like, if you do this, this will happen.

And then it's, it becomes like a little too repetitive, a little too kind of,

it just like confines me into something that I feel like I can't let loose.

I can't like stretch.

Well, you know, the only option you have when you make that call is to work for yourself.

That's right.

And I do, which is awesome, which is why I'm so late to the show.

You're not, you're right on time.

You're pop star early.

Dude, I had to wait for Eminem for four days once.

You're fine.

That's a true story.

I love it days

i was like in tokyo for four days just like how

long am i going to be in tokyo for as long as eminem wants

you to be he's like all right i guess i'm staying i don't know

if i'm slim shady level yeah how did you feel

when this was taking shape in the room and you had this kind of like really

edgy pretty deep four on the floor electro banger yeah

and you were like okay that's my first single yeah

this song kind of went through a a lot of different iterations

and at first i really hated it yep

and why can you tell me why it was just

i was just like is this the worst thing on earth

like i was like i was like this this just suck rat's ass

and then we kept we kept making it

and then we kept tweaking it

and i was like then i i had like a complete ego trip

and i was like this is the best thing ever

and then so i was like clearly this is like a very polarizing thing

and i just i liked it

and also just like it tells my story completely it's really clever in

that regard you know it's you know i'm a spy man

i studied this shit

it's like where you come from what it means the imagery the idea yeah

it's a very quick narrative pull yeah yeah

and i i was like this this needs to be on the album

100

it needs to be the first track like that was the only way

101

that i was able to see it

102

and then it was the first single obviously

103

and i was just like this just tells you who i am

104

because it's not serious

105

but it also like literally kind of is though i mean the kgb is a pretty serious image

106

and you're kind of fucking with some pretty

107

it's this is not the stuff of like you know like

108

this isn't like comedy spy movie stuff like you say the kgb

109

it's like it does exist no the kgb is very serious

110

it's very real let me rephrase the kgb is very serious

111

and i do not fuck with those guys um

112

but it's unserious to use it in the sense that i am

113

and and obviously it's affected my country and where i'm from like Slovakia

114

and my people heavily and

115

so I was just like this is just kind of like laugh through the pain type thing

116

and just fuck man like I'm gonna use

117

it for my benefit can a bitch from Slovakia just use this shit for her benefit for once yeah

118

and so I was like this is you know it's just kind of a tongue -in -cheek thing to say

119

but also like the virtues are completely true

120

they're just like stupid like they're like I was like eight doing the night shift can we talk about

121

that fact to learn English can we talk about

122

that fact it's not it's not if you really

123

if you like music the first time you heard

124

that song you're not skipping that statement no

125

and the way you say it is like no one says

126

that because it rhymes no you say it

127

because you want people to know it's true it is it's the truth

128

I was I was like eight working the night shift to learn English

129

it's it's correct where are you working the night shift at

130

eight years old um youtube yeah yeah yeah sorry to mention

131

it here it's not fine we're all on the tubes okay don't worry about it's all good is

132

that fine i was gonna spotify amazon youtube yeah yeah yeah streaming streaming spend your money

133

it's just distributions of choice go get

134

it it's all good um apple music yeah that's fucking what's up right

135

there it's fine we all know they exist

136

we just all know who's best i love your soundboard man

137

this is my dream you don't get to play with

138

that sorry i didn't i wasn't gonna ask that's fine there are rules for this shit i i would assume so

139

if i had a sound sound desk i would also have rules

140

you can have one on stage though you get a little box

141

and every time you do something good or you say something dope just like

142

if you just be like you know just bomb yourself just be like man truth bomb yourself just

143

because you should totally you should do that my own biggest hype man um how hard was it

144

Well, at that age, at eight years old, you were open and able to absorb things very quickly.

145

I mean, your brain is going 1 ,000 miles an hour, so new skills to some degree on a cerebral level should come fast.

146

But how was that time for you, and what really motivated you to want to learn English?

147

Because I understand that it's a part of the global experience

148

if you want to go and achieve things in your life is to learn languages.

149

But at eight years old, to be that dedicated, what was moving you?

150

So I loved Hannah Montana growing up, and it was all dubbed over in Czech

151

so I thought it was some girl from the Czech Republic

152

and I thought that I would be able to do

153

that one day I thought everybody was like kind of in a neighboring country

154

and available to me yeah yeah

155

and then my older brother was like nope like everything

156

that you love is American everybody's American all the music

157

that you love and it's so strange because the songs are not translated yeah so

158

but to me it was just like music language yeah

159

I was like you got the limo like i was singing it i think we can all understand

160

that now especially in the wake of what's been happening in

161

korea what's been happening in the latin american music markets

162

we get it now it's like bad bunny is now the

163

biggest most successful artist on the planet at least in my opinion that's right

164

and he hasn't done one song in english

165

and he shouldn't like it's it's interesting everything is

166

so english america centered i mean i'm i guess kind of a hypocrite

167

because i could do it in a different language

168

but I choose not to but it's also like the language

169

that a lot of people speak I mean Slovak is spoken by like five million people

170

so I'd be really limiting myself

171

but anyways I was just like whoa need to be Hannah Montana one day how are we gonna do this

172

and so I got to cooking I had a little list a plan written

173

and I was like okay I need to learn English

174

if I can be American I can sound like an American and then

175

when I'm 15 I'm gonna go to the disney channel headquarters

176

i'm gonna go with my godfather who lives in hawaii he's not gonna mind

177

we're gonna go for pilot season i looked up the address

178

i like wrote it down oh my god i was like we're gonna go

179

when i'm 15

180

and i'm gonna audition i'm gonna get it wait how are you how old are you

181

when you wrote this list i was like i mean whenever i could write

182

so that was like what seven eight i was probably eight i was like eight

183

so you're studying what pilot season is at eight years old

184

Yeah, it's so strange.

185

Like, why the fuck do you know that?

186

But then I did.

187

And so then I, it was obviously really embarrassing.

188

Like, I was self -aware enough to not say these things out loud.

189

Because I would just get bullied by my brother.

190

Like, I would get annihilated.

191

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

192

And also, kids your own age don't want to know you're figuring it out.

193

Hell no. It's so weird.

194

Yeah.

195

It's like, what are you doing?

196

So then I was just like, okay, let me keep, let me grind in silence.

197

And then I just watched YouTube a lot.

198

And I would watch, like, interviews of my favorite singers.

199

So that was like

200

Miley Cyrus and like Ariana Grande and like Beyonce.

201

I would watch these people on whatever the equivalent of the Zane Lowe show at that time was.

202

The Zane Lowe show.

203

But thanks for listening.

204

I appreciate it.

205

I was on the BB.

206

That's fine.

207

Were you actually?

208

Yeah.

209

Fuck.

210

I'm just kidding.

211

I'm just digging my hole deeper and deeper, man.

212

I'm never going to get invited back.

213

Buddy, I'll give you...

214

Sorry, I only listen to Apple Music.

215

I told you.

216

Buddy, I'll give you the spade.

217

I love the deeper, the deeper the hole, the better.

218

That's where the jokes are.

219

Are you kidding?

220

That's our love language in New Zealand.

221

Don't worry about it.

222

You didn't really touch Slovakia, I have to tell you.

223

Okay, fine.

224

I wasn't big in Slovakia.

225

There's truth in that.

226

Sorry.

227

There's truth in that.

228

I mean, no, the truth hurts.

229

I get it.

230

It wasn't a big market for me.

231

you were just dreaming the whole thing up and doing the work simultaneously

232

which is the key right when you visualize and you know it's there

233

and then you're like but it requires actual action yeah it was weird

234

and then nobody knew and it took like a year i think i was like nine

235

and i could just speak fluent english how did you reveal

236

that to your parents

237

and to the people in your life we were um on vacation one day

238

and i i was so so shy as a kid

239

and my older brother was like can you fucking ask for your coke yourself like please just do it

240

and I was like okay

241

and I just spoke like fluent English in front of my family and they're like who are you yeah

242

what happened they're like that's

243

but it wasn't like harmful they were like this is just really strange

244

and I guess she's like she has her special interests

245

but like it was really strange they're like well how did you do

246

that I was like I just like watched the internet

247

and like there's moments on this album that are very deep

248

and thoughtful and you've really found an emotional lane

249

that goes with um you know the teethiest stuff

250

we were talking about before yeah i agree i think

251

it's important um i'm a girl i get sad yeah

252

i get you know happy i i want to have sex

253

i don't want to have sex yeah i want to love

254

i i get heartbroken it's like it's all in a day's work

255

there's one piece of music on the record i won't say what name it is

256

but um it really is just a stream of consciousness through an autotune yeah yeah yeah

257

and i and when i heard it for the first time i said to the mutual friend

258

that we have who you worked with on the record

259

that's right shout out to blake shout out to blake slatkin

260

i love you yeah i love him i love you too blake

261

and he played me that music the whole album i was blown away

262

and um thank you and i got to that song

263

and i was like

264

that is a really powerful statement at this point in your life thank you

265

because the words are so real but also the way

266

that you made it sound modern and interesting and creative

267

and not just a poet not just a statement

268

or a stream of consciousness yeah super weird and eccentric

269

and brilliant thank you i i felt

270

that it was needed i think there's a lot of moments on this record

271

that are you know the on the like cuntier side as we were saying

272

and and i am that and i have a lot of fun

273

and i laugh a lot and i'm sexy a lot

274

and yada yada yada

275

but i you know there's a lot of sadness in me honestly yeah um

276

and it's there's a lot of things

277

that i feel like i kind of navigating

278

this career have like not expected to like hit me as hard as they are being away from family

279

i think is a big one for you right yeah being away from my family

280

i i have a little sister oh that's heartbreaking

281

when you have a a kid involved

282

and you have to leave them for like prolonged periods of time it's you see the passing of time

283

so much more you sum

284

that up beautifully on this record at one point where you talk about like i don't even know

285

if she's gonna look at me the same way anymore

286

or look at me like that that influence and that friend

287

that i was to her yeah and and honestly she like probably doesn't

288

and kind of in a way shouldn't like you got to find your own identity at some point right

289

it is a fact of life

290

but it still hurts yeah it hurts i wish i could be at a hundred different places at once

291

but i hope that um through my independence

292

and through achieving my dreams on my own terms i um give her something different

293

but still valuable you know what i mean there's a lot of things

294

that drive ambition especially in the world of the arts

295

and in music a lot of reasons why you want to do it yeah is one of those reasons

296

because ultimately you want to try to create a better life for the people that you love the most.

297

Absolutely.

298

Absolutely.

299

I love my family, but I love my mom and my sister.

300

I've always valued women in my life and I felt the closest to women in my life.

301

And I really want to, you know, one day take care of them and move them out here with me and have a nice life.

302

But the financials are not there yet we'll get there soon hopefully fuck

303

if y 'all fucking stream this album yeah man please yeah yeah

304

but like i mean again i don't worry

305

you should we shouldn't worry about adela yeah i agree i'm not worried

306

which is awesome um because i do think it's gonna come but yeah there's like real life stuff that i Bye -bye.

307

I feel all the time and I don't necessarily talk about it much because it's not like

308

it's easy like to write a pop song about that

309

but that's why I think this track like therapy is the track on the album

310

that talks about that it's important because I think people need to see

311

that I'm a human you know I miss my family I miss my little sister I had to go away and

312

um and i'm fortunate enough that i had the opportunity to go away

313

and make my dreams come true how did you get

314

that opportunity what was the moment when you knew that you could do that

315

um i always i always thought i would

316

and frankly i mean it was just when i got into the show like

317

um pop star academy the show that i was on when i got scouted and there was like

318

hundreds and thousands of submissions but i was one of them

319

and i thought i had zero chance because i was from slovakia

320

and a big part of those competitions is like you choose the people

321

that are going to bring you the biggest market yeah which slovakia is not the biggest market yeah

322

so i mean that was that was the confirmation i hope

323

that i would get to do it somehow some way

324

but there wasn't any clear path how did you navigate

325

that experience of competing with people your own age

326

that ultimately you can empathize with because you're all there to try to achieve your dreams and your goals.

327

But you know

328

that it's all going to come down to a small group of people who are going to make that group.

329

And I always think like for the entertainment value of these types of shows, it's Hunger Games, man.

330

It's like, how do you tell somebody that age

331

that they should be competing at that level with a smile on their face

332

and then going away to try to beat someone

333

it's just a it's an odd paradox don't you think yeah I think what's interesting

334

and this has been a theme in my life even in ballet is like everybody assumes

335

that the girls and like the peers would have the the worst kind of interactions

336

and the biggest competition but I found

337

that there's like girls especially young girls we really held together

338

and we and we had each other's backs and that's something

339

that honestly is the biggest takeaway for me is how emotionally

340

intelligent young women are um contrary to how we are often portrayed

341

but even in the show i think

342

we were portrayed differently than how things actually went down yeah for you know entertainment value yeah

343

i think the thing that i've i've um taken away from

344

that is that

345

and on the opposite side of the spectrum how the actual like people in power are the ones

346

that just fuck with you they just fuck shit up

347

and they actually have nothing figured out

348

and you're just there to um experience the blow of

349

that of those decisions

350

or lack thereof i don't even know how they get a seat at this table yeah there's this table

351

that these and i'm just going to say these men yeah all around yeah

352

and i don't even know how they get this who decides like hey there's a seat for you now

353

but you know what half the time i'm like i'm not even sure

354

you actually even understand what's going on no

355

but then sometimes i think they don't understand and they really do

356

which is also weird and then that fucks with you too because you're like

357

man do i know anything about anything probably not so

358

but the the honestly the worst part to me is nowadays like there were women

359

that had a seat at the table and there are

360

and I feel like I didn't see enough of like protection

361

and um kind of understanding I mean if I I hope the bigger I

362

I hope to take care of artists and women, especially in the entertainment industry.

363

I mean, like, look at Olivia Rodrigo and Daisy Chainfield.

364

Can we just do that, please?

365

Can we just do that on every single level, right down to making sure there's no clashes in the schedule so everyone gets an audience?

366

God, so good.

367

The most thoughtful person right now in front of an audience making art, in my opinion.

368

Not to create hierarchy around that, but I say that to inspire others to be that thoughtful

369

because she is seeing every opportunity as a chance to do the right thing.

370

I agree.

371

And I've been saying this for a long time.

372

She's my goat.

373

And I think she's just a young legend.

374

She's actually a big reason of why I'm even here.

375

Why?

376

Weirdly, before Drivers Listens even came out, there was an Elle article with Olivia and she mentioned her voice teacher.

377

Um, Jennifer Dussman and.

378

I looked her up because I was like Olivia sounds amazing

379

and I looked her up and she was cheaper than the voice teacher

380

that I was taking lessons from at the time and

381

so I reached out to her I started taking zoom lessons with her in Slovakia

382

and she was following Interscope and then they posted the audition for the show

383

that I was on and she was like you should audition for this

384

so I'm like I don't know if Olivia Rodrigo

385

and then I put out driver's lessons I don't know

386

if I would be here which is so weird

387

and I told her this too and we like bonded over this weird

388

butterfly effect thing the butterfly effect is

389

so beautiful i live for this stuff yeah

390

and i'm just such a fan man because this is all like

391

if you're a woman if you're anybody and you have such amazing success

392

and she didn't have to put on this festival that's like charity

393

and she's not making money off this you took your time making this record i know

394

that because i was touching base with people who are working on a particular blake

395

and he was like you know we're taking our time we're getting it right yeah

396

so how how was

397

that keeping how did you keep a balance as someone who

398

was probably in a real hurry to release a record at least part of your psychology is like oh

399

i've been waiting my whole life to do this absolutely

400

but you're taking a time to get

401

it right is an interesting kind of conflict yeah

402

i at the start of making this record

403

i had a moment where i kind of was freaking out a little bit not going to lie

404

and i was like this needs to come out sooner rather then later

405

and it was supposed to come out honestly way sooner than it is now but um

406

Blake and Dylan Brady they like sat me down

407

and they're like you cannot be doing what people want you to do that's like the thing

408

that makes you unique that's the one thing that we love about you

409

and people love about you is like you need to do what feels right for you

410

and that's such a simple concept and everybody tells you to do

411

that until they're put in a position where there's pressure on them

412

and they feel that there's eyes on them and there's opportunities

413

that they need to seize it's the first thing that goes away when

414

that happens yeah the first thing you forget is like wait a minute

415

i actually need to honor my own yeah thing

416

and your own your own your gut

417

and like everybody always tells you trust your gut

418

and you're like okay shut up i'm gonna do obviously i'm gonna trust my gut

419

but you need to trust your gut

420

and like the tiniest little decisions every little inkling of a feeling

421

that you have you need to honor it which is

422

so crazy because it's like to have that level of confidence

423

and and believe in yourself especially being an artist starting out is hard

424

but I I understand I I think I'm still learning it

425

but I'm understanding that that's just the only way to do it

426

because also like if I make something

427

that I'm just like somebody wants this somewhere and I know that they see me like this and they're gonna like this

428

But I don't like it

429

Nowadays you don't get guaranteed success

430

For a record

431

It's like People need to actually like it

432

People need to actually know it exists

433

Before we even get a chance

434

Everyone's going to like something

435

If we could actually just put your music

436

In front of an audience that might be even

437

Remotely open to it based on their taste

438

And it actually worked

439

And social media actually did what they promised

440

In the beginning which was work for the people

441

Who work for them Exactly.

442

They don't.

443

They open the door and let you find an audience, and now they're like, well, we control your audience, not you.

444

So you can't even find the people that like your shit anymore.

445

No, it's really wild.

446

It's a totally dysfunctional relationship.

447

The social media of it all, it's so funny, obviously.

448

But also, music is way more democratized now, right?

449

I mean, if it wasn't for the internet, I'm not going to sit here and just shit on it

450

because I would never be here if it wasn't for social media.

451

No, but two things can be right

452

but yeah it's it gets it gets tricky it's fickle and

453

so to me i'm like okay well there's no guarantee

454

that anybody's actually gonna even hear this or like it

455

so the only thing that i can do is like it myself

456

because that's what do you like yeah that's it that's it

457

because otherwise i'm gonna want to just kill myself

458

if i'm putting out songs that i don't even like

459

and then no one is listening too

460

because they're not being fed them yeah it's like okay well

461

then now what there's a cycle of violence right here

462

this is not going anywhere yeah this is bad this is just bad bad and worse

463

so it's like so i just need to make something

464

that i at least fuck with and then hope and pray and

465

fucking you know cross my fingers that someone's gonna hear it

466

and so where does work play into this then for people who are listening listening

467

and watching this right now who are also in the hope

468

and praise space of their life right but but we all know

469

that there is like an undeniable part of this equation

470

which is the work you put in yeah how does

471

that roll into this kind of great unknown era that we're in

472

because to my point before

473

there are more unknowns in terms of can i actually find

474

an audience than there ever was before for anyone releasing any having the courage to release anything i don't know Oh.

475

like it's fickle man and i'm not gonna sit here

476

and act like hard work equals success yeah yeah

477

because it doesn't there needs to be

478

so many things at play i mean i was even privileged enough yes i'm from slovakia

479

but i was privileged enough to for my family to just support me

480

and my dreams i never had to work three jobs

481

and do music and ballet on the side

482

when i had time yeah like arts are not accessible

483

and it's that's right they're not to everybody not they're not at all

484

and it's really frustrating

485

and it's unfortunate at the same time I guess social media is able to sometimes work well in cases like

486

that but what do you do if it hits

487

and you're not ready for it and you don't have the work ethic

488

and you haven't got the framework or the architecture or the dream

489

or any of that and you get something and then it's just like, wait a minute, I don't actually know what to do with this.

490

Yeah, it's so strange to really truly like succeed and find an audience and fans and build a thing today.

491

It's a mystery to me.

492

I mean, I'm doing it for the first time and I'm just like, what the fuck is going on?

493

You know what's cool about the way this is working for you now as well is

494

because you came out on the first few songs

495

and the performance level was so high in terms of like shows

496

and videos and imaging with the imagery was so strong and striking.

497

Thank you.

498

That you presented a really clear vision out the gate.

499

But what's really been really fun in the last, I would honestly say really just few weeks or month is that you're like,

500

all right, now I get to just be myself and actually let people hear what I'm like as a person.

501

Yeah.

502

And like, you are a really, really interesting person to talk with.

503

Like we're supposed to be well off the air by now

504

and thanks to you and your team who have been really cool about this

505

and the artists who we've pushed back no we appreciate

506

it i mean you know no i'm not sorry at all

507

but it's like you you obviously realized maybe did you come to the conclusion

508

it's like okay it's time for me to reveal myself

509

because i didn't feel like you were doing too much of

510

that in the beginning no i think i also i mean the first thing

511

that i put out was a reaction to the way

512

that I was presented to people that wasn't in my control

513

which is through this show I wasn't in charge of the editing

514

and making it as real as I could have been

515

so I think it was all about the specific thing in my life

516

and now with this album I think I get to be a human

517

and I get to talk about the things that aren't that

518

which means talking about my family like we talked about

519

and talking about my love life and yada yada yada whatever the fuck

520

but it's like there's a spectrum like i wanted this album to feel like a conversation between me

521

and my girlfriends because it's

522

so funny like you can start the night by just like talking about

523

so much deep stuff like me missing my family

524

and like being an immigrant yada yada yada again yeah

525

and then you end it with like broke dick as best dick

526

and that's the duality of a woman so that's on the album too

527

and i i do think bro dick is the best dick is going on the board

528

that's amazing i mean it's it's i've had it

529

i would never lie i i've met a few times now a couple of your besties

530

and i don't and i can only imagine the kind of conversations you guys have

531

because they are real ones it's they're real ones

532

we did this shit trust me

533

we were traumatized as fuck by the internet like yeah yeah

534

we were just a bunch of teenage girls like we are wild come on it's been such a joy man

535

i you know

536

So that is like an outright smash, life -changing hit record.

537

I hope so.

538

It should be.

539

I would love that.

540

She's going to love it.

541

I think she is.

542

She was like, is it nice?

543

I'm like.

544

It's very nice.

545

You think I would ever write something not nice about you, Nicole Kidman?

546

You're going to be smashing pints of Foster's down at like, you know, Bondi Beach at some point.

547

Bondi Beach.

548

Bondi Beach, mate.

549

Bondi Beach.

550

Adela, we don't worry about you hey thank you guys you uh like such a brilliant brilliant artist

551

and such a fantastic pop star of the times you know

552

and i just want to say as as we say goodbye

553

that like it should be it should be noted as well

554

that um you may not know what to do with the with with the hard work

555

but you really put it in and this this has not landed for you

556

and been given to you and you have studied this game

557

and you know what moves the needle and you know how to reach people you've just done it your way

558

And I just want to say that you're about to go on this incredible lifelong journey and have amazing experiences.

559

But that really is the tenet that people should always remember through the success.

560

So if anyone decides to get on those comments and start to say whatever they want to say, just remember that there's levels to this shit.

561

Shit, I'll save this and listen to this before I go to sleep.

562

There's levels to this shit.

563

Thank you.

564

I appreciate it.

565

And you've known that since you were eight years old.

566

Thank you.

567

And man, life is waiting for you.

568

Hey.

569

Yeah.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
