1
Not to pry, but do you have fingers?
2
Thumbs.
3
I'm polydactyl.
4
Jerry, that's your friend, right?
5
He's more like my assistant.
6
You sure he won't mind?
7
Oh, Jerry never minds.
8
And enough with the questions.
9
Strictly business, remember?
10
We don't need to get to know each other.
11
Yeah, okay.
12
We forgot to check the lavvy.
13
Hurry, before somebody sees.
14
And then he sees a little chick.
15
A cheek?
16
No!
17
Good afternoon, ladies!
18
What are you doing in here, Bulb?
19
Aye, Lioncats have their own locker room!
20
Oh, I was just, uh...
21
Well, I was, um, you know...
22
He was helping me.
23
He's my Land of Luck Leprechaun orientation guide.
24
Dear me, you're a big lass.
25
I...
26
I'm Sam.
27
Where are you from?
28
She's from, you know, Latvia.
29
That's right, she's from Latvia.
30
I see her.
31
Didn't Klaudaga say she met a Latvian guy down at the Hairy Lemon?
32
And that he was a real big fella too?
33
Aye, she did.
34
Well, cheers to Latvia for growing him big.
35
Guessing that all lucky creatures are teeny-toty like I say.
36
Ha ha ha!
37
Nice meeting you!
38
Enjoy the rest of your tour!
39
Don't do anything we wouldn't do!
40
They were so sweet! And tiny!
41
And surprisingly less clever than usual.
42
They totally bought it!
43
Next stop, Lucky Penny.
44
Right.
45
And then you leave.
46
Right.
47
Say it with me.
48
And then you leave.
49
No, you leave.
50
Yeah, I know.
51
It was a joke.
52
Welcome to the land of luck.
53
Incredible!
54
Morning.
55
This way.
56
We'll be at the Penny Depot in no time.
57
Follow me right onto the disc.
58
Okay.
59
Here we go.
60
Just smile and wave.
61
Hey, Bob.
62
Much this week?
63
Aye, let's do it.
64
Okay, it's transfer time.
65
Morning, Bob.
66
Aye, Betty.
67
So far, so good, Sam.
68
No one's even noticed you.
69
Sam?
70
Sam?
71
Sam!
72
You hear him, Joe?
73
He just joined the Luckmakers Union.
74
That's great!
75
He's hilarious.
76
Just how unlucky are you?
77
Yeah, super duper unlucky.
78
Well I wish you would have made that clear before we shook on our little deal.
79
Oh, hi guys, hi there.
80
Just checking on the rail grips.
81
There is no unlucky here.
82
So if you want that lucky penny for your wee friend, you best start blending in.
83
Uh, that's what I was trying to do.
84
Aha!
85
Well that was your first mistake.
86
Lucky creatures don't try.
87
They don't have to.
88
And stop sweating.
89
They don't do that either.
90
Right.
91
Okay.
92
I'll try my best.
93
Aha.
94
I mean, I'll try to act like I'm not trying.
95
Good answer.
96
We've got to find Jerry.
97
They'll know how all this penny business works.
98
He'll be the super cheery one in green.
99
They all look like that.
100
Sláinte, friends.
101
What is this story?
102
There he is.
103
O'Neill.
104
O'Reilly O'Donohue.
105
Barry.
106
And I didn't forget you, Clarice.
107
I've got your microbrew right here.
108
Is he thoughtful or what?
109
Jerry!
110
Sam, Jerry.
111
Oh, you're grand.
112
Um, are those my clothes?
113
Sorry, Bob said you wouldn't mind.
114
Sam's visiting from Latvia.
115
Her clothes got all messed up on arrival and that.
116
So you live in the human world?
117
Uh, usually.
118
Oh, man.
119
Have you ever tried grilled cheese?
120
I have.
121
Right, so, Gere, as you know, cats aren't allowed inside the depot, and Sam's a wee bit nervous about her first shift,
122
so I was thinking maybe you could escort her in and, you know, show her the ropes.
123
Lucky me, of course.
124
So it's super easy.
125
You sit in the chair, the penny comes to you, you polish it up and send it on its way.
126
Sounds like something I can handle.
127
Of course you can.
128
Lucky leprechauns were made for this kind of work.
129
Ooh, that's us.
130
Ah.
131
Go ahead.
132
I'll catch up.
133
Okey-doke.
134
Um, I think we should abort.
135
What?
136
Why?
137
You're no unlucky leprechaun, Sam.
138
You're an insanely unlucky human.
139
Or maybe you've forgotten.
140
Trust me, I haven't.
141
You'll cause a disaster.
142
Maybe not.
143
Jerry said we sit in chairs and polish pennies.
144
Now, I imagine to polish a penny, you need to hold a penny.
145
And if I'm holding a lucky penny...
146
I get it.
147
You'll be lucky.
148
Pocket one penny.
149
How hard could it be?
150
Sam, over here!
151
You'll sit right next to me.
152
Thanks, Jerry.
153
Okay, leprechauns, let's get these pennies in tip-top shape.
154
The captain is dependent on us.
155
It's penny time!
156
Remember, there is nothing to it.
157
Just stay in your chair.
158
Grab a penny, Sam.
159
I'm sorry.
160
I'm not
161
sure what you're doing.
162
like You think it was a bad look, Spector, did it?
163
More like a whole bootful.
164
Sam!
165
I told you this would be a disaster.
166
Well, I didn't expect to get the button.
167
You saw that, right?
168
Oh, yes, I saw it.
169
And now that button's headed straight back to arrivals and departures, where the captain will see it for sure.
170
So where are we going to find a penny now?
171
We're not.
172
This was it.
173
I had one chance.
174
And now you leave.
175
No, no, no. The deal was I leave after we get a penny.
176
The deal is off.
177
There's no one else to get a penny.
178
Someone eat a penny.
179
Bob does.
180
He lost his and then I flushed it down the toilet.
181
Sam!
182
What?
183
He's your friend.
184
Assistant.
185
This is terrible, Bob.
186
You stopped eating human food again, didn't you?
187
Yeah, my human food.
188
Sam!
189
What do you mean, your human food?
190
I'm not a Latvian leprechaun, Jerry.
191
I'm a human.
192
Oh!
193
Humans cannot be here!
194
Yeah, Bob mentioned that.
195
So you lost your travel penny and brought a human through the portal.
196
Oh, the captain is not gonna like this.
197
And if she finds out, you'll be banished to bad luck!
198
Wait, there's a bad luck here too?
199
Well, not here here, but down there here, yeah.
200
It's the other half of our world.
201
Good luck on top, and bad luck on the bottom.
202
Only their half isn't so nice.
203
Of course it isn't!
204
Bad luck ruins everything it touches.
205
Why didn't you tell me that's where you'll be banished, Bob?
206
You never asked.
207
Because you said no more questions!
208
They called in the house-bats!
209
Ah!
210
It's the captain!
211
Quick, hide!
212
That might be tough.
213
All right, everyone.
214
Clear out.
215
Evacuate the area so the Rabbids can do their work.
216
Bob?
217
Is that you?
218
I don't know, Captain.
219
It's me, Jerry.
220
From arrivals and departures, remember?
221
I've been working for you for 100 years.
222
Jerry?
223
Jerry?
224
When did you grow a tail?
225
Is there a tail?
226
Captain!
227
What a delight, and so soon.
228
Lucky me.
229
What are you doing down here?
230
Or just visiting my leprechaun friends.
231
You don't have friends, Mark.
232
They've scanned the crime scene, Captain, and found no bad luck specs.
233
Scan it again.
234
One spec can deluckify an entire pile of lucky pennies.
235
Let's get out of here.

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.
