If my father had seen the things that I've seen, He'd also tell you to burn the dead before nightfall.

I saw a vision in the flames.
174
All of them.
175
Great battle in the snow.
176
You see my king?
177
I saw it.
178
Winter is coming.
179
It's time.
180
I know it.
181
We march on Winterfell within the fortnight.
182
The North is larger than the other six kingdoms combined.

The North is mine.
187
A traitor who plunged a dagger in Robb Stark's heart.
188
The Lannisters send their regards.

We can't defend the North from the Walkers and the South from the Boltons.
191
I shall take back the North from the thieves who stole it.
192
A time when Lannister is dead, he can't protect them now.

As long as the Baltans rule the North.
195
He means to take the North.
196
The North will suffer.

You think highly of this boy.
199
To take back the castle where you grew up.
200
He sees something in you.
201
All my life I wanted to be Jon Stark.
202
But I have to refuse you.
203
I can't be your head.
204
Stannis, now he needs you.
205
I asked her to commit her house to my cause.
206
That's her response.
207
The answer is no. You never wanted any friends, brother.
208
And where were those lords when Storm's End starved?
209
The Stormcrowse roared off last night.
210
All we have to do is wait for him to freeze.
211
Our scouts support Stannis Baratheon rides for Winterfell.
212
He's a respected commander.
213
Stab.
214
His troops are loyal and battle -tested.
215
You guys, we're running out of food.
216
We can't open the supply line until the snow clears.
217
His army is out there now.

Seen what?
226
The army of the dead.
227
Death marches on the wall.
228
When they come, We have to know how to fight them.

231
Someone will tell me.
232
You can't stop him alone.
233
Once he liberates these lands from the Boltons.
234
As long as the Boltons hold Winterfell, the North is divided.
235
The latter of your father's ban on him, as he was called.
236
The King!
237
The divided North won't stand a chance against the Night King.
238
Unless there's a thaw, we can't press forward to Winterfell
239
and we don't have enough food to get us back to Castle Black.
240
If we march back to Castle Black, we're not returning to Castle Black.
241
We winter at Castle Black.
242
And who can say how many years this winter will last?
243
How many boys live in Westeros?
244
If you had to choose, how many girls, how many men, how many women?
245
The darkness will devour them all, she says, the night that never ends.
246
Who do you have chosen?
247
Unless I triumph.
248
In every man's life...
249
Sometimes a person has to choose.
250
You must become king before the long night begins.
251
There comes a day when it is not easy.
252
Sometimes...
253
Only you can lead the living against the death.
254
The world forces his hand.
255
A day when he must choose.
256
Our scouts tell us he's got no more than 6 ,000 men.
257
We don't act when he'll starve here.
258
All your life has led us to this moment.
259
All of us.
260
This decision.
261
She's my daughter.
262
It's a good thing.
263
A great thing.
264
Yet our man knows...
265
Stannis the Rathiel.
266
What he is.
267
Warrior of life.
268
For the man's truth to himself.
269
For the night is dark and full of terror. with all the horses.
270
This is the right time, and I will risk everything.
271
It's not as Brathena's coming.
272
Let's hold on.
273
Because if I don't...
274
The stage begins at sunrise.
275
We've lost her.
276
It's not going to be a safe, your grace.
277
Now! Where is your card?
278
The must fulfill his destiny.
279
Inside here.
280
Over my sheep, May, later.
281
We march to victory, or we march to defeat.
282
But we go forward, only forward.
283
I will betray the man, so will you.
284
At least let me take Shulia.
285
I will betray your family.
286
I will betray everything you've once had done.
287
You are the Princess Shireen of House Baratheon.
288
I'm the Princess Shireen of House Baratheon.
289
And you are my daughter.
290
And I'm your daughter.
291
And it will all be worth it.
292
Forgive me.
293
I loved that girl like she was my own.
294
She was good, she was kind, and you killed her! So did her father. So did her mother.
295
Her own plot knew it was the only way.
296
The only way for what?
297
They all died anyway.
298
- Thank you.
299
I made you something, Princess.
300
What the?
301
Thank you.
302
Why?
303
You must have faith.
304
Faith?
305
You will receive what is yours by right.
306
You are the one God's champion.
307
You told everyone Stannis was the one.
308
You had him believe in it.
309
All of them fooled.
310
I'm the finest man I've ever known.
311
Selyse.
312
And you lied.
313
I didn't lie.
314
The great victory I saw in the flames.
315
All of it was a lie.
316
I was wrong.
317
Stannis.
318
I've been gone for a few days, princess.
319
Chewing.
320
I want to hear all about the Dance of Dragons when I'm back.
321
The princess.
322
Read it yourself.
323
Mm.
324
You were wrong.
325
When the battle comes, I promise you'll protect me.
326
I promise.
327
How many died because you were wrong?
328
I should have given you a son.
329
Not your fault.
330
Could I do?
331
You're abandoning me.
332
I will never abandon you.
333
Oh, Grace, the Lennie Melisandre was just seen riding out of camp.
334
I didn't want to be a lord.
335
I nearly didn't accept it.
336
Why did you?
337
I did it from a son.
338
I'm sorry about your son.
339
I'm sorry about your brother, your grace.
340
I wanted him to have a better life.
341
I didn't get a chance to tell you before.
342
We were forgotten.
343
Robert and Ned Stark, they were the heroes.
344
And I declare upon the honor of my house that my beloved brother Robert left...
345
Was it my beloved brother?
346
I never loved my brothers.
347
I didn't love them?
348
Robert told me to hold Storm's End, so I held it.
349
You didn't love me?
350
But now I'm the rightful king by every law of Westeros.
351
You were the brother I chose.
352
When I sit the Iron Throne, you'll be my hand.
353
You want to avenge your king.
354
You're grace.
355
Follow!
356
I'll pray as if you will.
357
Don't you?
358
Fewer.
359
Order.
360
Less enemies for us.
361
Fewer.
362
Fewer.
363
What?
364
Anymore.
365
You master a grammar now too.
366
I love the man.
367
The man on Storm's End wanted to kiss you that night.
368
I was relieved they did not.
369
He lifted me up and made me something.
370
I expect you'd be the first Crabbers' son to wear the badge.
371
I was Kingsguard to Renly Baratheon.
372
Can I truly be you?
373
Your blood in his veins.
374
Who else might it be?
375
So did Renly.
376
You murdered him.
377
He murdered my brother.
378
Blood magic.
379
We murdered him.
380
Would you believe?
381
He wasn't your brother.
382
I loved him once.
383
I did.
384
Hard trees cut both ways, Sir Douglas.
385
Sure.
386
Are you ashamed of your father?
387
Father!
388
You want to advise me to send you to the ruins
389
of Valyria to live out your short life with a stone man.
390
You must keep away from such distractions.
391
She's my daughter.
392
I told them all to go to hell.
393
She's my daughter.
394
I call in every maester on this side of the world.
395
You are not striker.
396
Because you do not belong across the world with the bloody starmen.
397
You're not a man who slaughtered his innocence, for gain or glory.
398
I'm not here to slaughter, beat dogs.
399
Their fate depends on their king.
400
He saved us from Lansraeva's army.
401
Have a safe journey, Your Grace.
402
We will never forget that.
403
Thank you.
404
I thought he was the man to lead us through the long night.
405
The good act does not wash out the bad.
406
But I was wrong, just like you.
407
Nor about the good.
408
I never asked for this.
409
No more than I asked to be king.
410
We do not choose our destiny.
411
Do you have any last words?
412
It's all right, Father.
413
We must do our duty, no?
414
It won't do you, Ducey.
415
- - Great or small, we must do our duty.

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.
