That life, that person, that's not who I am.

130

131
No. And did you lie to the police about any of these things?
132
No. And you don't think you have any power over women?
133
You weren't dead, I was angry.
134
I was relieved, but I was also angry that I'd given you that power over me.
135
That voice, the one that tells you you're worthless and stupid and ugly...
136
Yeah.
137
It goes away, right?
138
It's just like a dumb teenage girl thing, but then it goes away.
139

140
I think there are people that help you become the person that you end up being, and you can be grateful for them, even if they were never meant to be in your life forever.
141
I'm glad I knew you too.
142
Knew, huh?

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.
