1
I ain't got nothing on me.
2
Think that's all I can tell you for now?
3
I'm going to see a man about an horse.
4
Do you know what I mean?
5
Alright.
6
Cockney rhyming slang.
7
First, what is a Cockney?
8
A true Cockney is someone born within the sound of the Bow Bells, which is St Marylebow Church in East London.
9
Ding, ding.
10
Now, of course, Cockney's spread to other parts of England, not just London, Essex, Luton, Leighton Buzzard, to...
11
They're all shitholes.
12
So why don't you join us for a cup of rosie?
13
Put up your plates of meat.
14
Plates of meat?
15
With your feet.
16
My plates of meat.
17
Lovely, you should look at his plates of meat, they're like hobbits' feet.
18
Yeah, alright John, alright.
19
You have to forgive my brother, he's a bit strange.
20
Look, I'll teach you how to use the Cockney rhyming slang, how to speak like Cockney.
21
It'll just...
22
I don't know what it'll do.
23
He's off his rocker.
24
They're fixing it. So...
25
So unless we intend to do this job in Reno, we're in Barney.
26
Barney Rubble.
27
Trouble!
28
Right, what do you think of him?
29
He ain't no cockney.
30
He was an iron man.
31
Now, I know what you're thinking.
32
Why speak in a strange way?
33
Why change words unnecessarily?
34
Well, back in the day, street traders and criminals used to disguise what they were talking about.
35
You want to avoid the coppers?
36
You've got to be smart.
37
Get creative.
38
For example, take a word like look.
39
We replace that word with a short phrase of two or three words, but that last word must rhyme with the original word.
40
Hook, look.
41
But then to make it more of a code, we usually just say the first word of that short phrase.
42
So for Another example, if I wanted to say let me have a look in cockney rhyming slang, I'd say let me have a butcher's.
43
Another example, you want to get your hair cut, hair rhymes with barnet fair, so you could say in cockney rhyming slang get your barnet fair cut.
44
You wouldn't say that though, would you?
45
Eh?
46
You'd only say the first word, you just said so.
47
Barnet, get your barnet cut them correctly or don't do it at all Jason.
48
Very easy, you have to do it right.
49
Yeah he's right, you would just say the first word usually but that isn't always the way we use Cockney Rhyming slang.
50
For example, what rhymes with lie?
51
Pork pie.
52
Alright with this one, pork pies, pie rhymes with lie but we don't simply say porks, we say porkies.
53
You tell me porkies?
54
What other ones are there?
55
I don't Adam and Eve it.
56
Adam and Eve.
57
Eve's the last word, rhymes with believe, and it's become known as the word I mean believe.
58
But with this, you can't just say I don't Adam it.
59
That would be crazy.
60
You have to use the whole phrase If you tell me pokeys, I won't add them any bit.
61
What else is there?
62
Just remember, right, there's two different types.
63
Some you can break to just the first word of the phrase, others you have to use the whole phrase.
64
These examples you can break to just the first word of the phrase.
65
Me China plate, me mate.
66

107
John, you can't say that with this.
108
However, Courtney rhyming slang nowadays, we don't really use it.
109
Well, it seems antiquated now.
110
It only is in jest, really.
111
Also, if you wanted to, you don't have to just use these ones.
112
You can make up your own.
113
I'm going to go to the toilet and have a bread pit.
114
Well, it appears it's time for a test.

I hope you're paying attention to all that.
116
Oh, if you write in your mint pie, smash all of your hamsters, and then I'll break both your bacon's and probably your loaf and all.
117
Then you'll be as the right barney, won't you? Are you ready?
118

- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: rabbit /ˈɹæbɪt/, giraffe /d͡ʒəˈɹæf/, antiquated /ˈæntɪˌkweɪtɪd/, hamster /ˈhæm(p)stɚ/, smash /smæʃ/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: disguise /dɪsˈɡaɪz/, forgive /fɚˈɡɪv/

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.
