One more time, listen up.

Asian tiger mosquitoes are native to the tropics of Southeast Asia, but in the past few years, they've spread all across the southeastern United States.

14
Mosquitoes.
15
I'm from Wisconsin in the United States and mosquitos, we have a cute name for mosquitos.
16
Skeeters.
17
Skeeters.
18
And it comes from the pronunciation.
19
We don't say mosquitos, we say mosquitos, mosquitos, skeetos, skeeters.
20
So we have that kind of name.
21
So if you know another American from Wisconsin, you can ask him or her about skeeters.
22
Do you have skeeters in Wisconsin?
23
You could ask a question like that.
24
Anyway, Asian tiger mosquitoes, wow, tiger mosquitoes, are native to the tropics of Southeast Asia.

34
So, I'm native to the United States, but I live in South Korea.
35
Now, these Asian tiger mosquitoes are native to Southeast Asia, but they've moved to the United States.
36
Just like I'm native to the United States, but I moved to Asia, South Korea, the tiger mosquitoes have moved to the United States.
37
So we've changed positions.
38
So Asian tiger mosquitoes are native to the, native to the, native to the.
39
You don't hear to, it sounds more like a d, d, very short d sound.
40
Native to the, native to the, native to the tropics, the tropics.
41
When we say tropics, we think of palm trees and coconuts and very hot weather, rainforests, oceans.
42
We have this image, the tropics, kind of a beautiful image.
43
The tropics of, not the tropics of the Caribbean, the tropics of Southeast Asia.
44
Southeast Asia, so Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, these countries in Southeast Asia.
45
But, in the past few years, now, when we say it fast, but in the, but in the, but in the, we gotta connect the sound,
46
and this N cancels out the TH, and what we have is, but in the, but in the,
47
but in the, in, na but in the past few, this S cancels the T,
48
past few, but in the past few years, but in the past few years, and these words put them together,
49
because many students, if they don't connect the sounds, it sounds like few ears.
50
You don't want to say few ears, you want to say few years,
51
But in the past few years,
52
they've spread all across.
53
They've spread.

I'm spreading my fingers.
59
The mosquitoes have spread from Southeast Asia to where?
60
To all across, all over, every part of...
61
The Southeastern United States.
62
So the United States, the Southeastern part, that's going to be Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas.
63
These states would be Southeast United States.
64
And in this video, if you watch the full video, and I'll put the link, they're now in California.
65
So from the southeast U .S., they've gone over to the southwest U .S.
66
And they're dangerous mosquitoes.

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.
