Shadowing Practice: I Jumped From Space (World Record Supersonic Freefall) - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
I'm the guy who jumped from space.
2
I wanted to be the first human outside of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier.
3
I always can see what I can see.
4
I almost weigh twice the weight that I normally have, and it's very difficult to do a perfect exit, do not over-rotate.
5
Because if I start over-rotating, there's no air that you can use to slow down.
6
Okay, John, we're ready.
7
Okay, here we go, Felix.
8
I'm going over.
9
Trucker away.
10
The first 25 seconds, it looked like everything was under control.
11
And after 34 seconds, I hit Mach 1 and I broke the speed of sound.
12
Was that him breaking the...
13
Yeah. That was our goal.
14
I wanted to be the first human outside of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier the sound barrier.
15
Because of the fact
16
that a lot of those scientists said prior to the jump you're going to spin like crazy
17
and the other half said we don't think anything is going to happen.
18
I was mentally prepared to spin but I was hoping that I'm not going to spin.
19
Now if you watch the next couple seconds you see at that moment it slowly starts to spin and it's getting faster.
20
The problem is there's no protocol.
21
There's in the world telling you, listen Felix, if this happens, you have to do this while the whole world is watching.
22
Then I was trying to move my arms around a little bit, just maybe it does something, and then it stopped for a second, but now it starts getting the opposite direction, you know?
23
And then it really ramps up.
24
At that moment, it's not about breaking records anymore.
25
At that moment, it's all about survival.
26
There's only one way for the blood to leave your skull, and that's through all the eyeballs.
27
If that happens, you're gonna die.
28
I had a Chi Whisp attached to my hand.
29
The Chi Whisp is a device that it fires a drogue shoot that pulls you out of that flat spin.
30
That's why I put my hands in to trick that Chi Whisp.
31
It's less Chi, and now the Chi Whisp senses, oh, less Chi, that means he's getting it under control.
32
I turned around and I was stable as well.
33
So when you look at my suit, you know, the more you fall, the more depressurized the suit gets.
34
And here you can already see the suit flapping.
35
You look at the sky, it's blue now.
36
So we went from black sky back to blue sky.
37
If you look at the right corner, Luke was dropping some flares and it gives me the perfect direction for the wind.
38
Now this is a very important moment.
39
Very first time after hours and hours inside that spacesuit that I'm breathing regular air.
40
So now I'm really happy because even the landing worked just perfect.

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.
