1
Hey Marcus, thanks for coming in. Grab a seat.
2
Thanks! This office is amazing, by the way.
3
We just moved in last month, so it's still a bit chaotic.
4
Okay, let's get started. Tell me about your current role.
5
I'm a back-end developer at a mid-sized online retailer.
6
I mainly build and maintain our payment systems.
7
So why are you thinking about leaving?
8
I feel like I've hit a ceiling there.
9
Most decisions are made by a team overseas.
10
I'd like to have more say in what we build.
11
That's definitely something you'd get here.
12
Walk me through a project you're really proud of.
13
Last year, our checkout kept crashing during big sales.
14
I was asked to find out what was causing it.
15
It turned out the database couldn't handle the traffic.
16
After we redesigned it, crashes dropped by about ninety percent.
17
Wow, that must have taken a lot of pressure off the team.
18
How do you handle disagreements about technical decisions?
19
I try not to take it personally.
20
I'll explain my reasoning, but I also listen carefully.
21
At the end of the day, the best idea should win.
22
I couldn't agree more.
23
What's something you're still working on?
24
I used to take on too much at once.
25
Now I'm much better at saying no, or not yet.
26
Honestly, that's a really valuable skill in a startup.
27
Can I ask how the team is structured?
28
Sure. There are six developers, and we work in small squads.
29
The next step would be a short coding task.
30
Sounds great. I'm looking forward to it.
31
Awesome. We'll be in touch in a few days.

Over deze les
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.
