Shadowing Practice: Kyle's cousin Kyle - Learn English Speaking with Video

That's your cousin's flight, Kyle.

Hold the sign up nice and high so he can find us.

Oh, there he is.

Over here, Kyle!

Hello, Aunt Sheila.

How was your flight?

Oh, it was terrible.

They recycled the air on board and it really did a number on my asthma.

I asked them to turn up the oxygen and they wouldn't.

Hey, dude.

Nice to meet you.

Let's get down to the baggage claim, Kyle.

Okay.

Ooh, that's right!

We've got two Kyles now.

We'll just call you Kyle, and you can be Kyle, too.

Here we go, Kyle 2.

And here's yours, Kyle.

Oh, what is this?

Actually, I can't eat beef.

I have a degenerative problem with my intestinal lining, and beef really gets me gay.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Kyle.

What else can I fix you?

I'll put it in the microwave right away.

Now, Kyle 2, listen to me.

Kyle is going through a very tough time in his life.

His mother is very sick, and he's in a whole new place.

He's going to rely on you to make sure he fits in at your school.

What?

What about carpet, huh?

He ripped on me for being Jewish.

Kyle, too, he's your responsibility.

Oh, my God.

I'm sure you two will become great friends with lots of late-night pillow talk.

What do you mean?

What room is he sleeping in?

What's this comforter filled with?

It isn't filled with down, is it?

I don't know, dude.

Can you take my stupid glasses and put them on the nightstand?

Make sure they're close by because that fish upset my stomach

and I might need them if I have to go to the bathroom later on.

Okay.

Hey, dude.

What's that thing?

Cartman, I need to talk to you.

Hello, I'm Kyle's cousin, Kyle.

Cartman, I'm gonna make you a deal.

What?

That kid over there is my cousin from the East Coast.

He's having a really hard time right now, so I'm going to offer you $40 to not rip on him.

I can't believe how cold it is out here.

Could be tough.

But I'll give it a shot.

All right.

Kyle, this is Cartman.

He's my sort of friend-ish.

Nice to meet you, Cartman.

You know, I saw that same jacket you're wearing at Bosco's for $29.95.

How much was yours?

I'm just wondering if Bosco's is a rip-off.

Oh, man.

Cartman?

It's nice to meet you, Kyle.

I can certainly tell you're a relative of my good friend, Kyle, here.

And I know you'll all be very nice to our new student.

Kyle, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?

Oh, well, I grew up in the city.

I really don't care for it.

I come from a Jewish family, which, of course, you already know, because Kyle's from the same family.

I like to read.

Oh, my God.

I'm not gonna make it.

Oh, and I hope one day to be an investment banker. Must.

Find it.

Need.

Forty.

Dollars.

Okay, why don't you go ahead and take a seat, Kyle?

Now let's get on with our lesson about the...

I wouldn't dust all that are available.

I usually prefer the plastic ones because these give me splinters.

Now Kyle, I need you to be quiet.

In my class, you need to be able to concentrate.

Concentration is the key to succeeding in my class.

Maybe we'll have to send him to concentration camp.

Ah!

Dammit, dammit, dammit!

Cartman!

You need to learn to play some sports, Kyle.

So we're gonna start with a tough one called catch the ball.

I throw the football to you, you throw it back to me.

Just throw it back to me.

You just put your arms out and catch it.

Alright, here we go.

Now what?

Now throw it back to me.

But it's down in the snow.

100

So dig it out.

101

But I'll get snow on my gloves and then it will melt and I'll have wet hands.

102

Well, then we'll dry them off.

103

Alright then.

104

Oh my God.

105

Kyle, Kyle!

106

I just found out that in World War II, some Jewish people were sent to concentration camps.

107

Because I was talking to Craig, and Craig was all like, Hey, did you know that in World War II they really had concentration camps?

108

You know, aw man, what a misunderstanding, huh?

109

You blew the deal, Cartman!

110

Goddammit, give me another chance!

111

You did what?

112

Oh, no. Haha, serves you right, asshole!

113

Because, I mean, I really think you could have done it for about $12.50.

114

What?

115

Well, I mean, you didn't just start at $40, did you?

116

You gotta lowball these things so you have a place to go.

117

Uh, uh, uh, dude.

118

Dude, I spent five years in this town making a good name for Jews, and this stereotype shows up and wrecks it all.

119

You know what my biggest fear is?

120

That I'll become him.

121

That somehow his mannerisms will start rubbing off of me, and I'll become a stereotype.

122

I mean, I'm a Jew, and he's making me hate Jews.

123

Dude, a self-hating Jew, you are becoming a stereotype.

124

You see?

125

I'm back.

126

I don't know about this, guys.

127

I think sleds are dangerous.

128

Look, Kyle, sledding is something all kids out here do.

129

You've gotta learn.

130

Hold on, I see.

131

Oh, Jesus, this sled is going fast!

132

Hang on!

133

I have to watch out for my glazes!

134

Ow!

135

Think he'll be all right?

136

He's fine.

137

Kyle 2?

138

Where is Kyle?

139

It's possible he just went back to Connecticut.

140

What?

141

Well, I mean, maybe he got so worried about his mom that he found a way to get back and see her.

142

Don't be ridiculous, Kyle 2.

143

He's out playing with his new friends.

144

I'm back!

145

I'm sorry, you must have been very sick.

146

I got your sled tangled up with a bus.

147

A bus?

148

Really?

149

Kyle, what happened to you?

150

I was just sledding and the next thing I knew my sled rope got tangled with a bus.

151

I got dragged for over a hundred miles before the bus finally stopped for gush.

152

I'm sorry about your sled, Kyle.

153

Oh no, don't worry about it, dude.

154

Oh, you poor thing!

155

Come upstairs and we'll get you out of those wet clothes.

156

Are you alright?

157

Oh, my ears feel like they're frozen off

158

and I think I have a hemorrhoid from sitting on a sled for so long.

159

I don't know about this, guys.

160

I think playing hide-and-seek in the airport might be dangerous.

161

Hey, can we speed things up here?

162

Two hours domestic, three hours international.

163

Can't we just play hide-and-seek at home?

164

No. Aha!

165

What's this?

166

A toenail clipper.

167

Die, Terrence!

168

Oh, Jesus!

169

Okay, Cartman, you're it.

170

Start counting.

171

One, two, three, one...

172

Here, Kyle, you hide in here. In there?

173

But it's very confined.

174

I'll get cramps in my legs.

175

Just get in the box!

176

Alright then.

177

Oh, look at that.

178

I've got a corn on my ankle.

179

Now where did that one come from?

180

That's the fourth one I've had.

181

These corns are killing me.

182

I hope he doesn't suffocate.

183

He's fine.

184

Oh, it's been days.

185

Where can he be?

186

Oh, he hasn't really...

187

I'm dead!

188

Kyle, you're back!

189

Yeah, it was the craziest thing.

190

I hid myself on a plane to Antarctica.

191

So, dude, did Cartman's idea work?

192

No. I tried getting my cousin lost in the woods, but a stupid bear brought him home.

193

Damn.

194

I just have to face facts that I'm going to live with my crappy cousin forever.

195

Well, Kyle, I gotta go.

196

Well, I invested in that it thing, and there was a bailout, so I received a $5 million bailout clause check, which I can use to help my family.

197

So I guess goodbye, cousin.

198

Okay.

199

$5 million?

200

Dude, dude, dude, you have $5 million?

201

Wait, Kyle, this may sound crazy, but I think you should stay.

202

Yeah.

203

Really?

204

Yeah.

205

You see, I've learned something today.

206

And, um, let's see, what did I learn about?

207

What did I learn about that?

208

Listen, guys, I appreciate you wanting me around, but the fact of the matter is, well, you guys are just kind of douchebags.

209

It's like you're right out of a stereotype catalog.

210

I can't take it.

211

See ya.

212

Dude.

213

Weak.

214

Good job, Jew.

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.
