1
I'd like you to hear a story from my childhood about my father.
2
He was a teacher and we trust the crown with the future of humanity.
3
Who should decide?
4
Who has the right?
5
Who will you trust, Niall?
6
Ervin, tell me, what are you planning to do?
7
I'll make a gamble.
8
Same as always.
9
Good evening.
10
I am Ervin Smith, commander of the Survey Corps, also known as the Scout Regiment.
11
Your attention!
12
Soldiers of the Survey Corps!
13
If this dream of yours comes true, what will you do then?
14
I don't know.
15
What the hell's Ervin doing?
16
He's off his rock!
17
You realize I'm asking this now because you might not live that long.
18
The lunatics leading the Titans straight for us!
19
That may be the day we learn the truth about our world.
20
And I'll be damned if I'm going to miss it.
21
Being there, is that important?
22
Yes.
23
More than humanity's victory?
24
Yes.
25
But first ask yourself.
26
Can you give your heart?
27
Can you give everything for humanity?
28
Let the Titans chase you!
29
All squads follow my lead! Do what?
30
Ervin, you conniving bastard!
31
You're using us as bait again!
32
God...
33
What's going on?
34
Is this hell?
35
Not yet, but it will be.
36
All soldiers, charge!
37
Fire!
38
I...
39
Ervin!
40
Your arrogance has brought Hell right to our door!
41
I know.
42
And I offer no excuses.
43
You knew what this would do to us, you son of a bitch!
44
You knew and our lives be damned!
45
Why?
46
Damn you, why? For humanity. For victory.
47
Together we give our hearts!
48
Jack!
49
Genuine harbingers of change must be able to do what others won't dare.
50
Sacrifice their heart.
51
Accept the burden of doing the unspeakable.
52
Whether we'd like to admit it or not, the fact is this.
53
To rise above monsters, we have to abandon our humanity.
54
We've come to the moment of truth!
55
Mankind's fate is decided now!
56
There is no future in which we reclaim these lands without Eren, and there never will be!
57
Go!
58
Recover Eren from the armored titan and retreat!
59
Your heart and soul to the cause! Do it!
60
Advance!
61
Forward!
62
I said advance, goddammit!
63
Eren's right in front of you!
64
Do not falter!
65
Damn you!
66
You traitors!
67
My father, he was a teacher.
68
I'm about to announce our final mission.
69
All troops, line up!
70
Faced with the annihilation at the hands of Titans, Humanity took refuge behind the walls and realized 100 years of peace.
71
So what now?
72
Do you have any kind of plan?
73
We lost all records of what humanity's earlier past might have looked like.
74
That's what all of us were taught.
75
The plan could go a few ways, but for it to succeed, the recruits and I had to die.
76
So I asked my father a question.
77
He then proceeded to tell me a theory of AIDS.
78
Even as a child, I was astounded.
79
Some part of you decided that humanity's fate only mattered if you could live to see it.
80
Can you see them too?
81
Our comrades, they're all standing around us.
82
They bled and died for each other, while I fought for a selfish dream.
83
And now, standing on this mountain of brave corpses, I have quite the view.
84
Still, Krisha's secret lingers in the back of my mind.
85
You let us well.
86
Fought hard.
87
No one else could have gotten us this far.
88
Before I die, I'd like to see it.
89
The truth of our world. Be honest.
90
Are all of us.. riding toward death?
91
Yes, we are.
92
They want to know what we did with the sacrifices that they made.
93
What became of...
94
The hearts they gave.
95
Everything that you thought had meaning.
96
Every hope, dream, or moment of happiness.
97
None of it matters as you lie bleeding out on the battlefield.
98
None of it changes what a speeding rock does to a body.
99
Do you think you can forgive him someday?
100
He became a devil because he had to.
101
We were the ones who put him up to it.
102
I've made it my mission in this life.
103
To atone to my father by showing the world he was right.
104
I'll make the choice for you.
105
Give up on your dream and charge to your death.
106
Lead those crying children straight to hell.
107
We all die.
108
Does that mean our lives are meaningless?
109
Does that mean that there was no point in our being born?
110
I'll reach the Beast Titan and tear him apart.
111
Would you say that of our slain comrades?
112
What about their lives?
113
Were they meaningless?
114
They were not!
115
Fire!
116
Their memory serves as an example to us all!
117
The courageous fallen, the anguished fallen!
118
Their lives have meaning because we, the living, refuse to forget them!
119
And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us!
120
I promise!
121
because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world my soldiers push forward
122
my soldiers scream out my soldiers rage
123
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH You

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.
