-Yeah, guys, and Enzo's not just stronger.
2
He's been competing in obstacle course races around the world to improve his speed.
3
That's why he's my pick.
4
-We know speed is dangerous. -Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
5
Whoa! -Getting through it.
6
-Yeah. He had to recharge on that one.
7
-Akbar, but you know the top five athletes get a bye, so speed matters.
8
Not just about hitting a buzzer. You want to set yourself up.
9
Avoid a tough matchup in the next round on the triple header.
10
-5'10", 160 pounds.
11
You can tell just how much he's put into the weight room, but just because he's put on some muscles doesn't mean he's lost his athleticism and his Ninja skills.
12
-Oh, he might actually -- He might actually do this.
13
Hold on. -Zuri, it's going to be close.
14
He could beat McGrath's time.
15
-Oh! He's going. Oh! Oh, my goodness. -Oh, a little stumble.
16
-Doesn't matter. -What a recovery!
17
-Wow.
18
-And Zuri's pick gets the fastest time by 0.2 of a second.
19
-That was a hard fall and a fast finish.
20
-Enzo! I see the emotion.
21
What's going through your mind, brother?
22
-I'm so happy, guys.
23
I love being out here with you, my friends and family.
24
Being out here means the world to me.
25
This is literally the most grateful I could ever be.
26
Thank you, guys, for this opportunity.
27
-Listen, by just 0.2 of a second, you not only have the fastest time, you went under a minute, you get a shot at $10,000.
28
Get on down there and go for it!
29
Wow, this kid's so motivated.
30
His parents, Mark and Christine, so proud of him.
31
Tried the Mega Wall each of the past two seasons and came up short, Akbar.
32
That's why he's been training for it.
33
-Get it, get it, get it. Power, power, power!
34
-Yes! -Yes!
35
-Enzo does it!
36
Enzo's first-ever Mega Wall. -Wow.
37
-And let me just remind you guys, R.J. has been the fastest in qualifying four out of the eight seasons he's competed.
38
Look at this. Going for it.
39
Nice. -Wow.
40
Flawless execution. -R.J. Roman so fast the Roman Empire had to get rid of Roman numerals.
41
-And he is just launching himself forward.
42
Smooth. Well, what I love is seeing the efficiency, looking so smooth.
43
No wasted energy. Oh, my, Akbar. -Come on.
44
Go for it, go for it, get it, get it, get it!
45
-Come on, R.J.! Come on. -He is blazing through this course.
46
-That's my boy out there! That's my dawg.
47
-10 seconds left.
48
-Come on! -Big move!
49
-Oh, he's got it!
50
R.J. Roman!
51
-He's going!
52
That's what I'm talking about!
53
-By 0.2 of a second, he gets the fastest time!
54
-I hit my knee somewhere. I don't even know where.
55
-Where you were moving so fast, you didn't even know where you hit your knee.
56
-Oh, no. I'll leave it behind me, though.
57
-I know you're looking to become an aspiring wrestler.
58
-Yes, sir. -That was a takedown of the top time, and you're not done.
59
We're talking about $10,000 on the line.
60
You got a shot at the Mega Wall, R.J.
61
-Rise up! -Well, he banged his knee.
62
That happened when he went flying into Wall to Wall.
63
That could slow him down here.
64
R.J.'s had four chances, but only got the Mega Wall once before in season 14.
65
Yes! -Yes! Let's go!
66
-Can he do it again tonight?
67
-Beat that wall! Beat that wall!
68
-R.J. Roman, one of the greats, so beloved in this community.
69
-He has the fastest time of the night.
70
-Oh. -Oh, he slipped. That doesn't count.
71
No, that doesn't count. He slipped.
72
Do it again. He slipped. That's not right.
73
-Max is known as the Cadet Ninja.
74
Got the nickname because when he started competing, he was going to military school.
75
Just such an impressive young man.
76
-On "Ninja Warrior," we don't get into politics, but he says he wants to be the first "Ninja" president.
77
-Well, Akbar, he's got my vote. Look at him go!
78
Akbar, he is making his case.
79
He is moving hard, campaigning, already halfway through Kite Surfer.
80
-Whoo! -He's got a policy agenda and he's implementing it, Akbar.
81
-Nice! -Wow!
82
Oh, my goodness!
83
-You want a president who can move like this.
84
-I don't know why we're calling him the cadet.
85
He looks like a full-blown soldier.
86
Look at that. He's even got the American shoes on, Akbar.
87
-Good, good, good. Nice. Lock it in.
88
He is dialed in.
89
-Big transition here, Akbar.
90
-Ooh! -Got it!
91
Oh, it's gonna be close for the Mega Wall!
92
-Oh, he's going for it! He's going for it!
93
-Oh, my goodness!
94
Max Salebra!
95
He's now the youngest person ever to hit a buzzer on "American Ninja Warrior"!
96
He is feeling it!
97
-They call the man Sonic because he likes to go fast.
98
This may be a blur.
99
-He sat out a couple of seasons, but made a big comeback last year.
100
Hit four buzzers. Made it to the round of 32.
101
And Sonic dances through Domino Effect.
102
Well, Akbar, this is his fourth time competing in "Ninja Warrior," and he's completed the three previous qualifying courses.
103
And a great pace to this point.
104
He's got a shot to beat R.J. Roman's time!
105
-I think he's gonna get that Mega Wall time.
106
He once broke the buzzer, now he may break the course.
107
There he goes, Matt.
108
He's trying to earn that Mega Wall.
109
Here we go! Here we go!
110
And for the fastest time!
111
-Yeah! -Wow!
112
-Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!
113
Amir, you just had the fastest time!
114
You beat R.J. Roman by more than two seconds!
115
-Let's go! -And needless to say, that means you earned a shot at the Mega Wall for $10,000!
116
-I'm still in shock at how fast he ran through the course.
117
-44.89 seconds.
118
But at 5'6", this 18.5-foot wall is a tall order.
119
$10,000 on the line.
120
This would be his first-ever Mega Wall.
121
-This would be his first.
122
Oh! -Chaka, chaka, chaka.
123
-No $10,000, but Amir is all but guaranteed being in the top five and getting a buy for the first round of next week's regional finals.
124
Well, it's just been a track meet tonight with increasingly fast times.
125
To beat Malik's time of 44 seconds, Jackson's gonna have to be almost flawless.
126
-Alright, Jackson, let's see what you got.
127
-Wow, Akbar! -Oh, he is moving.
128
Oh, my goodness.
129
-Well, his nickname as a kid with "Jaccident" because he was so accident-prone!
130
-Well, it's no accident that he got this good from practicing over and over again.
131
-Guys, I think having a girlfriend is working for Jackson.
132
Oh, my gosh, he's almost done with the course.
133
-5'11", 155. Can he get through Wall to Wall?
134
-Wow. Matt, he's racing so fast, he's beating his family and friends down the course.
135
-Well, here we go! Gotta get right up it!
136
-Oh, my goodness. Big step! Nice!
137
Oh, did he bust his head?
138
-Ow.
139
-Did you hit your head?
140
-Yeah. The Jaccident's back, I guess.
141
-I was just saying we don't call you the Jaccident anymore!
142
-I might need to bring him back for this year.
143
We'll see. -Well, Jackson, you were my pick for the fastest time of the night.
144
And my friend...
145
you delivered the fastest time!
146
An unbelievable 42 seconds!
147
And with that comes your shot at $10,000.
148
Jackson, you gonna be safe to get on the Mega Wall?
149
-I think getting down will be the hard part.
150
The rest will be fine.
151
-Let's go. Let's see you. -Let's do it.
152
-Has only attempted the Mega Wall once before, last year, but he failed.
153
Can he get the fastest time and the $10,000 tonight?
154
-Alright, chest back, chest back.
155
Rock with it, rock with it.
156
Oh! Oh, my goodness!
157
-He hung in the air!
158
I don't think -- I think he defied gravity!
159
-Hang time!
160
Abby Clark's hit buzzers her last two seasons in qualifying, was a record-setting gymnast in college, and has really taken to "Ninja Warrior." She and Joe Capo, running that gym, have so many of their athletes they train in the competition, but wants to remind them these teachers can still walk the walk.
161
-Alright, take your time here.
162
Hit it, hit it, hit it. Nice!
163
-Real smooth and a good pace.
164
5'3", 130. -Kite Surfer's gonna be all about having precision.
165
There's a little bit of patience here.
166
And she knows all about patience...
167
after waiting 13 years before Joe said "Let's get married." -Abby has solidified herself as one of our top women competitors.
168
She's got four career buzzers.
169
If she can get another one tonight, she'll climb into fourth place all-time among the women.
170
-And keep in mind, she's only behind Flex Labreck, Jessie Graff, and Taylor Greene.
171
That's pretty impressive.
172
-And with her pace to Wall to Wall, she's now assured of being in the top 20 but wants to add another buzzer to her resume.
173
I like watching Abby on the course, always a focused competitor.
174
-Yeah, and marriage seems to agree with her.
175
But this is where we've seen a lot of runs come to an end.
176
-And commit to it. You have to commit to it.
177
You have to commit!
178
-Well, this is the challenging move here.
179
Hold on for the drop.
180
-She got it! -And Abby Clark did it!
181
-You said it!
182
-There we go! And Abby Clark, 14.5 feet away from her fifth buzzer!
183
-She's wiping that sweat off her brow like, "Whew!
184
I worked hard to get here!" -Well, she's had her issues getting up the Warped Wall.
185
Three times, she's reached this point, but couldn't finish it.
186
-Let's go, Abby Clark.
187
-Ooh! Well, as we said, the Warped Wall is no gimme for her.
188
But she's got two more attempts.
189
And you can see her husband, Joe, right there.
190
They've done this in their gym numerous times.
191
-So cool to see her husband there to support.
192
-There it is! There it is! -Got it!
193
-Well, I am sure all the kids back at her school are watching Rose tonight.
194
-Yeah, this is your moment. This is your time.
195
-No problem there on the Shrinking Steps.
196
-Alright, now, this is all about timing.
197
-Go for a ride here. Smooth transfer.
198
-Big. -Ooh!
199
-Okay, Rose Lord!
200
-I gotta say, great job controlling her momentum.
201
Good body awareness there.
202
-Alright, nice. Quick feet, qui-- Oh! Oh!
203
-Oh, my! -Oh! She slammed it down!
204
Wow! -Well, this Rose is blossoming!
205
What a save there on Domino Effect!
206
-I want to see that one again.
207
Rose started falling forward halfway across, but somehow landed on top of the last domino!
208
Normally, you can't recover from that, but Rose did.
209
Wow! -Rose Lord, rejuvenated by that close call.
210
-Matt, you know she's gonna be showing that video to her kids at school.
211
-Dad's loving what he's seeing.
212
He's giving her advice for Kite Surfer, and she's been moving quickly.
213
Well, what a run for this rookie, Akbar.
214
-But only 5'3". The last grab is gonna be a challenge.
215
-Come on, Rose!
216
-Oh, but Rose gets it! Just needs the dismount.
217
And she's through! Well, I remember her as a shy 12-year-old competing on the first season of "Ninja Junior." And now, Rose, a confident rookie, crushing this course!
218
And just attacking Wall to Wall!
219
-Oh, hold on.
220
-Locks it in.
221
Rose Lord... -You got it. You got it.
222
Uh-oh, she's doubting herself a little bit.
223
Feeling the fatigue.
224
-Long reach.
225
-She's got to make sure -- She knows it's there!
226
Oh, wow! -Look at this!
227
And rides it through!
228
-I mean, bumping and running all over the place!
229
-And Rose Lord, 14.5 feet away from a buzzer in her rookie debut.
230
-Let's go! -Oh.
231
Good slide. -Hey-o.
232
Alright. I think she just did that for fun.
233
-Maybe the roses on her arm can lift her up.
234
-This one, she's gotta generate that power.
235
Oh! -But she's got to know she can do it.
236
-Yeah, she knows. She was able to touch the top.
237
I think this next one is it for her.
238
Rose Lord's got this one.
239
-One final attempt.
240
Everything you got.
241
-Ohh! -Comes up just short.
242
-Ohh. -No! So close, but so far.
243
-Well, not the finish she was looking for, but Akbar, still a great rookie performance.
244
-Yeah, you gotta give it up for Rose Lord.
245
She finally got that moment and she made the most of it.
246
-And goes in for the hug with her proud papa, Paul.
247
-She loves her daddy.
248
-That's a great shot right there.

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.
