1
But my mom had bought me gym shorts that was my exact size and extra small.
2
So that wasn't very cool because it came down mid -thigh.
3
And apparently back in the day that was called a John Stockton.
4
And the same kid next to me, that bully next to me, he's like, Hey, hey, look at that.
5
Hey, don't wear your pants like that.
6
Pull your pants down, man.
7
Pull your pants down.
8
And I was like, who's the gay one now?
9
But I didn't know what to do.
10
Everybody was looking at me, and this kid kept saying, pull your pants down.
11
So I was like, oh, .
12
I've seen Shawshank Redemption.
13
Maybe that's just how it works in America.
14
So I start pulling down my shorts all the way down to my knees, all the way down to my ankle.
15
And the same kid, the bully next to me, he's like, hey, what are you doing?
16
Don't pull him down all the way.
17
That's gay.
18
And I'm like, what is not gay in this country?
19
And apparently this other kid next to me, he's like, hey, don't pull them down all the way.
20
Just sag them a little bit.
21
Just sag your pants.
22
And I didn't know what sagging your pants meant.
23
Apparently that's a cool hip -hop thing to pull your pants down halfway down your butt.
24
So you show everybody your ahole.
25
And apparently that's the only not gay way to wear your pants in America.
26
I had no idea.
27
All these weird American things I wasn't used to.
28
Eventually I learned how to speak English by watching a lot of TV, mainly BET Rap City.

Because that was my .
30
I want to be cool and nothing cooler than BET Rap City, right?

Every music video was a slice of somebody's American dream.
32
The first music video I saw was Jay -Z's Big Pimpin'.
33
You guys remember that ?
34
Jay -Z's Big Pimpin' was the greatest music video of all time.
35
It was Jay -Z and his boys on a yacht pouring champagne on this beautiful woman's face for like four minutes.
36
I was like, this is America?
37
It's amazing.
38
That's all I wanted to do.
39
Like before I even wanted to get into the stand -up, that's all I wanted to do.
40
I want to be a rapper.
41
I want to be like

Jay -Z and Big Pimpin'.
43
So I started my own rap group in high school.
44
It was a true story.
45
It was me, my black friend Julian, and my other friend Yuji, who was half black and half Japanese.
46
So we had perfectly one and a half black dudes and one and a half Asian dudes.
47
And we called ourselves the Yellow Panthers.
48
I know.
49
I wish I was making this up, but I'm not.
50
The Yellow Panthers was a real rap group.
51
And we had a real rap song.
52
It was called Underground Railroad Builder.
53
I was confused.
54
Eventually, I became a good Asian American, and I went to school to get an economics degree
55
because that was the easiest degree that can still appease my Asian parents.

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.
