Shadowing Practice: Everyone Being Terrible At Relationships - The Office US - Learn English Speaking with Video

Well, Jan has this schoolgirl fantasy.

It's a pretty common one.

I just...

I feel uncomfortable wearing the dress.

Okay.

I'm gonna be at the doll store.

Michael, you shouldn't do anything that you're uncomfortable with.

Jan says anything that doesn't scare us is not worth doing.

I don't know.

Maybe we're different people.

I like cuddling and spooning, and she likes videotaping us during sex.

Oh, my God.

Oh.

And then watching it back right afterward to improve my form.

That is not healthy behavior.

No, it's not that bad.

The worst part is that she shows it to her therapist and they discuss it.

Michael, you need to get out of this.

No, she's just fooling around.

It's a woman thing.

No, normal women don't do stuff like that.

This is bad.

That's bad.

Oh, that's all right.

I'm okay.

You guys...

What am I gonna do about Jan?

Done.

Read the prose first.

Okay, Jan is smart, successful,

good clothes, hot, perfect skin, nice butt.

She does have very nice clothes.

Okay, okay, cons.

Cons.

Wears too much makeup, breasts, not anything to write home about, insecure about body, I'm unhappy when I'm with her, flat chested.

What was the last one?

She's totally flat, shrunken chesticles.

No, the one before that.

I'm unhappy when I'm with her.

Michael, you shouldn't be with someone who doesn't make you happy.

I'm happy sometimes.

Um... When we scrapbook.

Or right towards the end of having sex.

Look, most relationships have their rough patches.

You just have to push through it sometimes.

Yeah, that's smart.

Maybe.

But it sounds like you're just wrong for each other.

That sounds good, too.

I don't know who's right.

I just don't.

I don't know.

I bet you know.

Don't think, just answer.

What do you want to do about Jan?

I want to break up with Jan.

Wow.

I want to break up with Jan.

My mom taught me that.

Okay, remember, be strong.

I love you guys.

I'm getting her voicemail.

Don't leave him.

Hey, Jan, it's me, Michael.

I'm just calling to say that I think we need a little break permanently.

And I know everybody says this, but I want to remain friends.

Or at least business associates who get along.

Oh, just so you know, it's not me, it's you.

Okay, buddy.

Somebody just walked in.

I have to go.

Um, so I'll talk to you later.

Michael, I was, um...

I was really unhappy with our conversation earlier, and I...

I just, I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I decided that I would drive down here and apologize to you in person. So...

I'm sorry.

Thank you. So, we're good?

Absolutely.

Oh, hold on.

No. No. One second.

Oh, it's from you.

Oh.

You want to grab some dinner?

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

Maybe some Italian or...

Chinese.

Fish sounds great.

Yeah, I guess.

Really playing the scales, huh?

Yeah, I don't know, it just sort of sounds like noise to me now.

Are you thinking of any new fish?

I don't love you anymore.

What?

I still like you, but you were gone a really long time, and you didn't really email me all that much.

You retweeted me a lot, to be fair.

But I don't love you.

100

Okay, I get it.

101

You're unhappy.

102

I've been gone a long time, and we lost a little bit of juju, But you and me, we have a future.

103

There is a lot of love here.

104

I just said there isn't love.

105

On your side.

106

But there's tons on my side.

107

It's gushing.

108

We're just out of sync right now.

109

But that's just timing.

110

What's timing?

111

I mean, my parents lasted 38, 40 years.

112

They were never happy at the same time.

113

I guess.

114

I mean, what do we have left?

115

35, maybe 40 years?

116

If we're lucky, I mean, I've spent a lot of time in the sun.

117

You got really sunburned.

118

I'm gonna be a prune in like three years.

119

Ugh.

120

I know you may not be feeling love for me right now, but if you fake it, I won't be able to tell the difference.

121

So I'll feel good, and then eventually, maybe, you'll actually start to love me again.

122

You really think we can get that back?

123

Yes.

124

Come on.

125

Totally.

126

Hi.

127

Hey, you okay?

128

I couldn't do it.

129

Oh.

130

I'm sorry.

131

Oh, you don't have to apologize.

132

I just...

133

I just want you to be happy, okay?

134

We're breaking up.

135

And just so you know, I was worried that you were dead.

136

You were gone for three months.

137

Andy?

138

David, still here.

139

What was that about three months?

140

How you feeling?

141

Better?

142

No. Well, you look cute as a button.

143

You worked up quite a sweat.

144

The vet is removing all of Sprinkles' organs right now and sending them to the lab.

145

I am a farmer, Angela.

146

What does that mean?

147

When a farmer sees an animal that is in pain, that has no quality of life, that has no utility, a farmer does what city folk don't have the stomach to do.

148

You did kill her!

149

I sang her her favorite songs.

150

You put her in my freezer!

151

It was beautiful and gentle and respectful.

152

I fed her antihistamines and she gradually fell asleep.

153

Well, then she barfed them up in the freezer and tried to get out.

154

Well, I'm not responsible for that!

155

Hey!

156

Ow!

157

It's okay.

158

Nothing!

159

I'm robbing her!

160

It's nothing!

161

It's fine!

162

What?

163

How could you do that without telling me?

164

I thought I was helping you.

165

I expected a hug.

166

I took care of that cat the best way I knew how.

167

Cat heaven is a beautiful place.

168

But you don't get there if you're euthanized.

169

I know a great taxidermist.

170

I'll pay to have her stuffed.

171

Well, he's not great, but he's pretty good.

172

You don't understand.

173

Take back my seriously.

174

Don't get bit.

175

Or we can have her buried out at the East Field by Mother.

176

Huh?

177

Angelo?

178

Don't touch me, Dwight!

179

You could live for a hundred years and say sorry, sorry, sorry continuously and that still wouldn't be enough for some people.

180

Some people don't understand sorry.

181

Animals don't understand I'm sorry.

182

They understand woe and heel and off.

183

Try saying I'm sorry to a mule, he'll kick you in the head.

184

Here we go, four times the charm.

185

It's like a road where you just love me, there's something here and the next day, like sometimes you do, and it's telling you don't, sometimes you do, and it's quite good to walk.

186

What?

187

It's out there, and it's like...

188

Hey.

189

Hey.

190

You crying?

191

No. Allergies?

192

No. No, did Daryl touch you?

193

What?

194

No, Daryl did not touch me.

195

Can we just keep going, please?

196

Please?

197

Listen, listen, it's...

198

It's been full for two minutes.

199

I just can't be in there right now.

200

What's the matter?

201

No, it's not gonna work.

202

There's too much distance.

203

Sure it is.

204

Oh, no, no, no. It's gonna work.

205

It'll be fine.

206

Michael, we've only been dating each other for a few weeks.

207

Listen to me.

208

I like you so much.

209

I like you too.

210

And I've dated almost four women in the last...

211

I've dated four guys last year too.

212

Not last...

213

No. In like the last 10 years, I've dated almost four women, and you are so far above them, it is stupid.

214

Michael, no. Don't.

215

Don't make it harder than it has to be.

216

I'm...

217

That's what she's...

218

Holly thinks that this relationship is over.

219

Well, you know what?

220

I am not going to give up that easy.

221

I'm going to make this way harder than it needs to be.

222

You know what?

223

I think we're a great couple.

224

I think we are a classic couple.

225

I think we are like Romeo and Juliet.

226

I think we go together so well.

227

We're like peanut butter with jelly.

228

Don't you think?

229

Me too.

230

I think so.

231

Well, then don't do it.

232

Please don't do this.

233

Please don't do this.

234

Hey, what's up?

235

Just thought I'd try you.

236

I don't think you know what I'll do.

237

I was thinking about that story where you ran into your girl who used to babysit.

238

I'm not going to be okay.

239

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

240

Please call me back.

241

Please.

242

I'm not gonna be okay.

243

I will.

244

No, I won't.

245

I'm not strong.

246

I'll go back to Jan, and I hate Jan.

247

Oh, God.

248

What's the last of it?

249

Oh, that's mine, actually.

250

Um, maybe put it back in the truck.

251

You know what I'm saying?

252

You know, I have some things I need to do this weekend.

253

I just remembered, so I'll just ride back with you.

254

What you want me to put it back in the truck?

255

I'll be down in just a second.

256

Holly? So, um...

257

I think I'm gonna go back with Daryl.

258

Okay.

259

Bye.

260

Bye.

261

Bye.

262

I know it's hard, Mike.

263

Breakups hurt.

264

We didn't break up.

265

Look like it.

266

Yesterday, Angela may or may not have figured out that I'm having an affair with her husband, so I just have to wait and see when she comes in.

267

If she's cold and awkward and cruel to me, then great.

268

It's business as usual.

269

Good morning.

270

Oscar.

271

Can I ask you a question? Of course.

272

Ask me.

273

Questions.

274

Is it cool in here to you?

275

Yes, a little bit.

276

Yes.

277

I think the thermostat is acting up again.

278

It's a stupid thermostat.

279

Nothing's a catastrophe.

280

So I'm going to, on your suggestion, get someone to fix it.

281

I'll just go downstairs.

282

Thank you.

283

No. Thank you, Angela.

284

She doesn't know.

285

I shouldn't be surprised.

286

This is a woman who married a man who's obviously a homosexual.

287

Basically, she has her head in the sand.

288

In a way, I feel sorry for her.

289

I guess the universe rewards true love.

290

Meet me in the old place.

291

Five minutes.

292

I need you.

293

Come on in.

294

The water's fine.

295

Dwight, it's not that kind of meeting.

296

Put your clothes back on.

297

I know.

298

That's not why I'm naked.

299

I always work out without my clothes.

300

Just put them on.

301

Put on your clothes.

302

I need your help.

303

I need someone who can operate outside of the law.

304

Oh, I'm sorry.

305

Your vigilante privileges ended when you broke up with me.

306

If I'm not in your panties, I don't go vigilantes.

307

Would you ask your husband?

308

My marriage is in danger.

309

I don't know who I can trust.

310

I need someone to be there for me.

311

All right, what are we talking?

312

Surveillance?

313

Wiretapping?

314

Something like that?

315

Yeah, the less I know, the better.

316

I know just a guy.

317

He was a volunteer sheriff, too.

318

Kicked off the force.

319

Can you arrange a meeting?

320

I could try.

321

I'm going to use SMS text.

322

Okay.

323

Text went through.

324

Okay.

325

All we can do is sit and wait.

326

Okay.

327

Oh!

328

Look at that.

329

Yeah, he's free anytime.

330

Not a problem.

331

Person to suffer.

332

What about a knee capping?

333

No, no, you're not helping Trevor.

334

Yes, a knee capping could work.

335

No, Angela!

336

What are you saying?

337

You said you would be there for me.

338

I'm trying, but what you're asking is...

339

It's the only thing that will make this right.

340

Okay.

341

But it's cruel, because a woman with damaged knees can't scrub with a damn.

342

All right.

343

Then it's settled.

344

One knee capping.

345

Now the hit goes down at 4 o'clock.

346

Keep in mind, once I leave, there's no turning back.

347

Call me email.

348

Once you hit send, you can't unsend.

349

You can with Outlook.

350

Oh, my God, really?

351

Yes.

352

That would have saved me a lot of trouble.

353

It's Oscar, isn't it?

354

He and the senator are gaying each other.

355

I don't know what you're talking about.

356

Your nostrils tell a different story.

357

They flare like that every time you're engaging in deception.

358

Hello again, naughty nostrils.

359

Fine!

360

It's Oscar. So what?

361

Well, I could understand you wanting to get a stranger's knees whacked.

362

But a co-worker?

363

Dare I say a friend?

364

Exactly.

365

A friend.

366

Someone who sits next to you year after year, making chit-chat and smiling, and all the while running behind your back and defiling your marriage and seducing your husband.

367

I can't even imagine how painful this must be for you.

368

But the first ones to break your marriage vows were you and me.

369

Well, you might be right.

370

But it's too late now.

371

What do you mean?

372

He's here.

373

No!

374

No, no!

375

No!

376

Oscar!

377

Oscar!

378

Oscar!

379

Good!

380

Listen, hey, come with me.

381

What?

382

Come with me.

383

What are you doing?

384

There are a bunch of construction workers in the warehouse without their trousers, drinking diet sodas.

385

You've got to see this.

386

They're extraordinary.

387

Yatsy.

388

Hey.

389

Sandwich delivery for Mr. Oscar Martinez.

390

I am Oscar Martinez.

391

No, not him, not him.

392

Outside.

393

I need you to put the Christmas tree back up.

394

It's outside.

395

I didn't ask you where it was.

396

I told you where it needs to be.

397

Shut up.

398

Excuse me.

399

I'm not moving the tree.

400

Face it.

401

The only power you have over me is this little secret that I know you're not gonna tell.

402

Oh, and you wanna know how I know that?

403

Because then you won't be able to plan your stupid, tacky parties anymore.

404

So you move the tree.

405

Okay.

406

Okay.

407

Angela's having sex with Dwight.

408

I caught them doing it after Toby's going away party.

409

Well, don't look so surprised.

410

I knew it.

411

You did not know it.

412

I knew some of it.

413

Everyone knew some of it.

414

It's Christmas.

415

You knew it.

416

Thank you.

417

I knew it.

418

She knew it.

419

All right, everybody's still here.

420

Perfect.

421

Got a little surprise I've been working on.

422

Angela, my bride, I just wanted you to know that for the rest of our lives, no matter the Cultural milieu,

423

I will always be there to bring you some Christmas cheer.

424

Ruh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh I think I'd like to go home now.

425

Sure.

426

Tough room.

427

Come on, I just learned it.

428

Just so you know, protocol is a little round of applause.

429

But Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

430

You've got to tell Andy about us.

431

That is a terrible idea.

432

One of your worst.

433

Get it over with.

434

Then we don't have to hide anymore.

435

You're expanding on your worst idea.

436

Do you love me or not?

437

I've already admitted that I do.

438

Why do you keep making me repeat it?

439

Because you're engaged to Andy.

440

Can't we just focus on what we have right now?

441

Aren't you looking forward to our weekend away together?

442

I guess.

443

Come on.

444

Visiting the Quaker meeting house?

445

Tell me again about its construction.

446

You know.

447

Tell me.

448

No. Come on.

449

It's rectangular and framed.

450

And each beam is made from a 40-foot timber and fashioned from a single oak over 300 years ago.

451

The cedar shingled roof is over two stories high.

452

The chimney.

453

You get Andy to watch the cats?

454

Yeah, this shouldn't be a problem.

455

You're not making any sense.

456

Well, no I'm not. So I...

457

I'm not very articulate today, so I'll just leave it for another time.

458

Another day.

459

All righty.

460

But she'll be fine.

461

I am off.

462

Have a good meeting.

463

Thank you.

464

Kick Wallace's ass.

465

Okay.

466

I will.

467

Dwight and Angela are having an affair, so...

468

I can't hear you.

469

Through the glass.

470

Dwight and Angela are having an affair.

471

They've been sleeping together for some time.

472

That was the news.

473

I wanted to let you know.

474

What?

475

All right.

476

See you later. Are you serious?

477

Yeah.

478

Dwight?

479

Andy?

480

It's over.

481

Oh, good.

482

She broke up with you.

483

No. It's over between you two.

484

Oh, no way.

485

I am not giving up.

486

You have to.

487

No, I don't.

488

She doesn't love you.

489

She's marrying me.

490

Well, I don't know about that, because she certainly seems to enjoy making lovemaking with me.

491

Angela Bernard.

492

Will never be her name.

493

It will be her name, and you will have to call her that.

494

I don't think so.

495

Hey, guys, why don't we, uh, just cool off a bit?

496

I'm telling you to back down.

497

And I'm telling you that I will never back down.

498

That'll make you.

499

Oh, really?

500

How are you gonna do that?

501

Through the use of force.

502

That is very general and does not scare me in the slightest.

503

I will fight you.

504

Nope.

505

Okay, fine.

506

Good.

507

A duel.

508

The winner gets Angela.

509

Fine.

510

Fine.

511

This is nuts.

512

What is your weapon?

513

Okay, you know what?

514

That's enough because...

515

Hey, this is none of your business.

516

Hey, it is my business when it happens at work.

517

Guess what?

518

Not happening at work.

519

Yes.

520

We're gonna do it outside.

521

Outside of work.

522

None of your business.

523

None of your business then.

524

Good.

525

So what weapon?

526

My bare hands.

527

That is stupid.

528

I will use a sword and I will cut off your bare hands.

529

Then I'll get something, too.

530

I've had two men fight over me before.

531

Usually it's over which one gets to hold the camcorder.

532

Where are you? Where?

533

On the desk of Andrew Bernard.

534

Note.

535

Pathetic.

536

Dear Dwight, by now you have received my note.

537

How are you?

538

I am well.

539

You are no doubt wondering why I have left this note.

540

It's come to my attention that in any physical match with you I would surely be bested.

541

True.

542

The soft underbelly of my refined upbringing is my soft underbelly.

543

There's Andy.

544

He's in his car.

545

You guys, what is he doing?

546

Why isn't Dwight turning around?

547

The Prius is silent if he keeps it under five miles per hour.

548

He deserves the win.

549

Oh my God.

550

What's happening?

551

Andy's running over Dwight with his car.

552

Whoa!

553

Hey!

554

Hey!

555

Hey!

556

Hey!

557

Yeah!

558

Oh!

559

Oh!

560

Come on!

561

Ow!

562

Oh!

563

Oh my god.

564

You give up?

565

Never!

566

Get out of face me like a man!

567

I am a man!

568

I'm a bigger man than you'll ever be!

569

I would never sleep with another man's Fiatte!

570

You're not a man!

571

You don't know how to take care of her!

572

All you do is dress fancy and sing, oh la la la la la la la!

573

La la la la la!

574

What does that mean?

575

You can't even protect her!

576

Protect her from what?

577

Bears, you idiot?

578

When's the last time you saw a damn bear in Scranton?

579

Last year, idiot!

580

You know, every time I come to New York, I never have a good time.

581

It's too crowded, it's too expensive.

582

But tonight, it was awesome.

583

Guess it's just who you're with.

584

Yeah, we went to the Spotted Pig for dinner.

585

It's in the village.

586

Karen knew it.

587

And then we second-acted Spamalot.

588

That's when you sneak in at intermission with all the smokers.

589

And then we went to a bar that used to be a church.

590

Oh, and at this one bar, I swear I saw Lorne Michaels.

591

That wasn't him.

592

So what's going to happen with us when I get this job?

593

Oh, do you mean when I get the job?

594

Well, if you get the job, then I'd move here with you.

595

Do you move with me?

596

I'm not stupid, okay?

597

I was at the beach.

598

We don't have a future in Scranton.

599

There's one too many people there.

600

You mean Kevin?

601

Exactly.

602

No, but you get it, right?

603

You can't stay there.

604

Yeah.

605

I do.

606

Come on.

607

I don't know how I feel about hiring a Sixers fan.

608

I should leave.

609

Now, let me ask you a question, Jim.

610

You're clearly a very bright guy.

611

Thanks.

612

Always hit your numbers, personable.

613

You make a great impression on everyone you meet.

614

I'm sorry, wait.

615

So is the question, how'd I get to be so awesome?

616

Because I don't have an answer for you.

617

Oh, hey, do you have your quarterly numbers?

618

Yes, absolutely.

619

Questionnaire.

620

Sorry to make you fill that thing out.

621

Oh, no, absolutely.

622

It's the HR formality.

623

We have this very irritating HR guy here.

624

He's probably the only person you're not going to like.

625

Kendall.

626

Ugh.

627

So first up, how do you think you function here in New York?

628

What's that?

629

Oh, great.

630

You know, I just really appreciate the buildings and the people.

631

And there's just energy that New York has.

632

Not to mention they have places that are open past eight, so that's a bonus.

633

You've been in the Scranton branch a long time.

634

What have you liked most about that place?

635

The friendships.

636

Okay.

637

Well, we want the person who takes this position to be here for the long haul. So...

638

Long haul.

639

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

640

How are your feet?

641

Medium rare.

642

Thanks.

643

The real reason that I went to Stanford was because I wanted to be...

644

Not here.

645

I know.

646

And even though I came back,

647

I just feel like I've never really come back.

648

Well, I wish you would.

649

Dunder Miplen, this is Pam.

650

Just one moment, I'll transfer you.

651

I haven't heard anything.

652

But I bet Jim got the job.

653

I mean, why wouldn't he?

654

He's totally qualified and smart.

655

Everyone loves him.

656

And if he never comes back again, that's okay.

657

We're friends.

658

And I'm sure we'll stay friends.

659

We just, we never got the timing right.

660

You know, I shot him down, and then he did the same to me, and... But you know what?

661

It's okay.

662

I'm totally fine.

663

Everything is gonna be totally...

664

Pam.

665

Sorry.

666

Um, are you free for dinner tonight?

667

Yes.

668

All right.

669

Then it's a date.

670

I'm sorry, what was the question?

671

So do you want to see it or not?

672

I don't know.

673

They're like Friday night crowds.

674

Oh my God, you're like agoraphobic.

675

Agoraphobic?

676

Yeah.

677

Really?

678

Yeah.

679

You would rather sit on your couch and watch a Phillies game than go out to a movie with your awesome girlfriend.

680

Absolutely correct.

681

Later, Jim.

682

Kev, have a good weekend.

683

Yeah.

684

Okay.

685

Bye.

686

Okay, so this is what's going to happen.

687

You're going to suck it up.

688

Here we go and we're gonna go to dinner.

689

Okay.

690

And then we're gonna go to the movie.

691

Sounds good.

692

Hey, help her!

693

Hey.

694

Right!

695

Right!

696

Right!

697

Pam, please call security!

698

Every day for eight years, I have brought pepper spray into this office to protect myself and my fellow employees.

699

And every day, for eight years, people have laughed at me.

700

Well, who's laughing now?

701

Helene, I think you're a wonderful person, and I hate...

702

God, I've enjoyed dating you and being your boyfriend so much.

703

But I have to consider Pam's feelings.

704

As a friend and a co-worker, I cannot in good conscience continue to date you when I know what this is doing to her.

705

Michael.

706

Michael, it's okay.

707

No, it's not.

708

I know that it took me a little while to come around, and it's still a little weird to get used to, but you obviously make my mom very happy.

709

And that makes me happy.

710

Wow, that just...

711

You've really grown.

712

Well...

713

Oh, thank you, Pam.

714

And I hope you were as gracious during...

715

this next part.

716

Helene, once again, you are a wonderful person, and you have lived a great life, and I envy it.

717

And I want it someday, but just in the future.

718

You need somebody who understands your references.

719

Who is Kafkaesque?

720

I've never...

721

I don't know him.

722

There's another woman, and her name is Italy, and skydiving, and bungee jumping.

723

Okay, so...

724

And I want kids.

725

And you, unfortunately, have already completed that part of your journey down there.

726

Michael.

727

It's not my decision.

728

It's Mother Nature.

729

And Mother has very strict rules about fertility.

730

Fertility.

731

Oh, yeah, I got it.

732

I'm 58.

733

What am I supposed to do now?

734

Well, hobbies.

735

Stop.

736

Oh, my God.

737

Oh, my God.

738

Michael?

739

Jan?

740

Hi.

741

Look, okay, I think we're all adults here.

742

And it has always been my understanding that we have an open relationship.

743

What are you talking about?

744

What does that mean?

745

After you said you weren't coming, I invited Carol to come, and I don't think that I did anything wrong.

746

No. No, you didn't.

747

Hi, I'm Jan.

748

I'm Michael's boss.

749

Hi.

750

Does anyone want a drink?

751

Uh, no, I'm good.

752

Um...

753

Hey, hey, hey, what?

754

Jan's here.

755

Come on, shooter!

756

Oh, of course, shooter!

757

No, blow for luck.

758

Shooter!

759

Also, you, not playing favorites.

760

All right, here we go.

761

All right.

762

Yeah!

763

Sorry, babe.

764

I'm just beat.

765

It's OK.

766

I'll see you at home.

767

OK.

768

Hey, don't try to lose too much money, all right?

769

OK.

770

In case we still want to put on a honeymoon.

771

Hey, Halpert.

772

Keep an eye on you, all right?

773

OK. Will do.

774

Bye.

775

Hey.

776

Hey, how's it going?

777

Good, especially after I took all your money in poker.

778

Yeah.

779

Oh.

780

Hey, uh, can I talk to you about something?

781

About when you want to give me more of your money?

782

No, I don't.

783

Did you want to do that now?

784

We can go inside.

785

I'm feeling kind of good tonight.

786

I was just, um...

787

I'm in love with you.

788

What?

789

I'm really sorry if that's weird for you to hear, but I need you to...

790

hear it.

791

Probably not good timing.

792

I know that.

793

I just...

794

What are you doing?

795

What are you expecting me to say to that?

796

I just need you to know.

797

Once.

798

Well, I, um...

799

I...

800

I can't.

801

Yeah.

802

You have no idea.

803

Don't do that.

804

What your friendship means to me.

805

Come on.

806

I don't want to do that.

807

I want to be more than that.

808

I can't.

809

I'm really sorry. If you misinterpreted things.

810

It's probably my fault.

811

Not your fault.

812

I'm sorry I misinterpreted our friendship.

813

Thank 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.
