1
Which shoe should I pick?
2
The pink.
3
You think the pink?
4
Yes.
5
It's so cunty.
6
I think pink because it's like Barbie drink whore.
7
Yes, it's cunty.
8
But the Manolos are also fine.
9
Yeah.
10
But I saved that last decision for you.
11
Thank you.
12
Tonight, I interview image architect, La Roche.
13
Zendaya and you told me that it was her idea to do this interview.
14
Yes.
15
My pronoun is bitch.
16
I like to gatekeep.
17
I love a bad girl.
18
I want a rich fat man.
19
Our word is for you to represent your culture.
20
What do you think of Euphoria season three?
21
Mmmmm.
22
I just like make love to myself a lot.
23
You're a gooner.
24
What do you say to people who think you're doing too much? you you you.
25
Why are you biting your lip at me?
26
My most iconic interview yet are nip slips your 9-11.
27
Your little Hershey kiss pops out.
28
You want me to nip slip?
29
Who are the racists?
30
My attorney advised me not to do that.
31
Z-Wag starts now.
32
My next iconic guest is the first and only image architect.
33
Watch him on this season of Project Runway.
34
Please welcome, Law Roach.
35
You ate that.
36
How are you doing, Law?
37
Thanks for joining me.
38
Thanks for having me.
39
I'm doing really well, thank you.
40
Can you state for the record your race, your name, and your pronouns?
41
My race is African-American.
42
My name is Law Roach, also known as Luxury Law, and my pronoun is bitch.
43
Oh, bitch.
44
And do we capitalize the B?
45
Absolutely.
46
When we first connected at the drama premiere, Zendaya and you told me that it was her idea to do this interview.
47
How did that conversation go?
48
She said I should do Z-Way.
49
So let's act it out.
50
I'm, you're her, I'm Law.
51
Okay.
52
You know what you should do?
53
What?
54
Z-way.
55
And that's how it went?
56
Yeah.
57
Did you like my interpretation of your hair?
58
It was a little dramatic, but yeah.
59
You're calling me dramatic.
60
You're the world's first and only image architect.
61
Yes.
62
What does that mean in a literal sense?
63
Literally, it just means that I think that what I do is much better than other stylists.
64
I don't just pick a dress.
65
I actually help forge someone's image just the way an architect does with a builder.
66
Who is structurally more sound, Zendaya or the Statue of Liberty?
67
Zendaya.
68
More than Lady Liberty?
69
Lady Liberty is a little old, and she requires a lot of upkeep and renovation motivations, and Zadeda's not.
70
Wow.
71
Wow.
72
Drag her.
73
Drag the bastion of freedom.
74
So, in 2023, you publicly retired from fashion saying, my cup is empty.
75
The politics, the lies and false narratives finally got me.
76
I'm out.
77
Heart, heart, heart.
78
You then kept working like Jay-Z's Black Album.
79
Are you a liar, a flake, or a messy bitch that lives for drama?
80
Well, Z-Way, I actually did stop working for like seven months and I wrote a book in the absence of me styling.
81
So that sounds like work, to be clear.
82
No, that was therapy.
83
And are you in therapy?
84
No. Okay.
85
So you don't know what therapy is?
86
No, I don't really believe in therapy.
87
Oh, okay.
88
So your book was labor.
89
My book was therapy to you.
90
How benevolent of you.
91
Thank you.
92
Now, speaking of the false narratives and the politics and the lies of the industry, who were the racists?
93
The racists were a lot of white women.
94
Name names.
95
My attorney advised me not to do that.
96
Yeah.
97
No, I think it's cool to protect racist people.
98
Let's continue.
99
Do you recommend fake quitting for attention?
100
Just to be clear, I didn't fake quit for attention.
101
I quit for real and I just happened to get a lot of attention for doing it.
102
I don't want to work through the logic.
103
I think that this interview is becoming very retirement-phobic.
104
But you're the one who age-shamed the Statue of Liberty.
105
So I just want you to sit with that and sit with your bias because you called her old, decrepit, and stale.
106
And that's not appropriate for one of our nation's oldest symbols to welcome immigrants on Ellis Island.
107
But you hate immigrants.
108
Let's continue.
109
Speaking of an immigrant, Celine Dion brought you out of retirement to style her for the Grammys.
110
Oh, you just contradicted yourself.
111
If I were a fake repart, how could somebody bring me out of retirement?
112
How long have you waited your life around white women?
113
Celine Dion is not a white woman.
114
She's a queen, a goddess, an angel sent for heaven to change our entire life through song and fashion.
115
What's your favorite Celine Dion song?
116
My favorite, I mean, my heart will go on.
117
Oh.
118
Yeah, just like my career.
119
I wish I could say the same for yours.
120
You're getting very sharp with me.
121
Lawrence.
122
Ooh, who's that?
123
I'm looking at the man.
124
Lawrence Roach.
125
Mmm.
126
Not only are you f*ing up my name, but you're also misgendering me.
127
Oh, sorry, bitch.
128
Thank you.
129
Coming up, is it harder to be gay on the south side of Chicago or black in the world of fashion?
130
Black in the world of fashion.
131
Really?
132
Absolutely.
133
Why?
134
I mean, being gay on the south side of Chicago wasn't really a difficult thing for me.
135
I've always been gay.
136
I never really had a coming out story because I've always been out.
137
But I also had a strong support system of really masculine men, my uncles and my grandfather,
138
that never made me feel ashamed or different for being, you know, feminine.
139
But being black in fashion...
140
It's tough.
141
What's tough about it?
142
I just can't wait till you actually get into fashion so you can understand.
143
Lot, it feels like you're insulting me.
144
Are you saying that you don't think I'm very fashionable?
145
No, not at all.
146
You know, I've worked several times as a model across several continents.
147
Sure.
148
In fact, we met at a Versace show.
149
Maybe.
150
I don't remember.
151
I remember because you said, girl, I love you.
152
I say that to everyone.
153
Oh.
154
So you said that your long black hair is an homage to Cher.
155
Mm-hmm.
156
When did the hair become signature? At birth.
157
Really?
158
Yeah, it's natural.
159
Can I touch it?
160
Sure.
161
Really?
162
Yeah, of course.
163
Really?
164
Yeah, only because you're black.
165
Oh my gosh, like Jimmy Fallon.
166
Oh my gosh.
167
Wow.
168
Yeah.
169
Don't let me touch yours.
170
Okay.
171
Totally different feeling.
172
Oh, you want to play?
173
For the Met Gala, you've dressed Zendaya, Ariana Grande, Celine Dion, Mary J.
174
Blige, Anya Taylor-Joy, Hunter Schafer, Lewis Hamilton, Alton Mason, Kalani, Addison Rae, Lauren Sanchez-Bezos, and more.
175
Do you feel like you're dressing District 1 from The Hunger Games?
176
I've never saw The Hunger Games.
177
You haven't?
178
No. It's a very popular film.
179
Hmm.
180
Yeah.
181
Oh.
182
Yep.
183
Do you like any dystopian movies?
184
Define dystopian.
185
A society or a world where things are not right?
186
Like Wicked?
187
Sure.
188
Like Wicked.
189
Love Wicked.
190
Wicked 1 or Wicked 2?
191
2. What's your favorite song from Wicked?
192
I love Wicked.
193
Wicked 1 or Wicked 2?
194
2. What's your favorite song from Wicked 2?
195
All the ones that Ariana Grande sings.
196
Oh, all the ones your client sings?
197
Ariana Grande, yes.
198
Got it.
199
And do you usually pander like this so shamelessly?
200
Define pander.
201
You wrote the book.
202
Not about pandering.
203
Let's continue.
204
Mm.
205
Mm.
206
Mm.
207
Mm.
208
Mm.
209
Mm.
210
Mm.
211
Mm.
212
Mm.
213
Mm.
214
Mm.
215
Mm.
216
Mm.
217
Mm.
218
Mm.
219
What's your favorite part of helping some of America's biggest oligarchs look and feel their best?
220
Define oligarch.
221
Really, really, really, really rich person hoarding wealth at the top.
222
Off the backs of the proletariat.
223
Ooh, define proletariat.
224
The working class.
225
Mmm.
226
Um, can you repeat the question?
227
No. My service is to dress people who can afford me to dress them.
228
And you know, I don't think that people would go to a doctor
229
and be turned away from medical treatment because they are wealthy.
230
What other similarities do you have with doctors?
231
I love exams.
232
Oh, okay.
233
I love to recommend different cosmetic surgeries as a doctor would.
234
My doctor would recommend I get cosmetic surgery?
235
Sure.
236
Coming up, would you rather be called tacky or the n-word?
237
Depends on who's saying it.
238
Why the fact that you have to think about it is nuts.
239
Depends on who's saying it.
240
Okay, who can call you tacky and who can call you the N-word?
241
Nobody can call me tacky and the people that can call me the N-word, I can also call them the N-word.
242
Got it.
243
Okay, got it, got it, got it.
244
So Zendaya, rather be called tacky or N-word by her?
245
Oh.
246
N-word.
247
You said in your book that Zendaya is one of your biggest advocates in the industry.
248
Yes.
249
You have a catchphrase, both of us or none of us.
250
Creatively speaking, when does she begin and when do you end?
251
I think we're definitely one soul sharing two bodies.
252
Is she your best friend?
253
Sometimes she's my best friend.
254
Sometimes she's my advisor.
255
Sometimes she's my component because we fight.
256
she's my annoying little sister.
257
She is many things to me.
258
And I hope that I am, you know, the same number of things to her.
259
Family, like Don Torello.
260
Definitely.
261
So you've described yourself in Zendaya as Jordan and Pippin.
262
Yes.
263
Which one are you?
264
I'm Pippin, for sure.
265
Did you know that Scottie hates Michael?
266
I did not know that.
267
Can you elaborate more on this basketball reference for me?
268
Like, who are these men?
269
Well, I think I heard it in a rap song.
270
Can you just give me a little, like, can you rap it on beat?
271
Yeah, we went to the Met Gala and we was tipping because she's Michael Jordan and I'm pipping.
272
This is Chicago.
273
And any more details about those two men?
274
The team they played on?
275
The Chicago Bulls.
276
And the championships number that they've won?
277
Was it five?
278
You're from Chicago!
279
It was five, right?
280
No, it was six.
281
Six.
282
I missed one.
283
Kill me.
284
When you saw Anna Sawai hit that 2025
285
super fine tailoring black style Met Gala carpet in a tailored white suit and hat, how did you feel?
286
I was surprised.
287
I was shocked because the true story is that I knew
288
that Zendaya had already walked the carpet and she was in the Met because we were texting.
289
And then when I turned down and looked, I'm like, why is she doing the carpet again?
290
And then it wasn't her.
291
So it was just a big shock.
292
Wow, so that's, even if the references are different, the looks are similar enough to mistake the unmistakable Zendaya with Anna Sawai,
293
who's a lovely actress.
294
Yeah, beautiful girl.
295
Beautiful girl.
296
Yep, beautiful girl.
297
Beautiful girl.
298
Yep.
299
You recently went on national television and said Zendaya's real-life wedding dress was infinitely better than the fake AIs online.
300
Yes.
301
Can you describe the dress in three words?
302
Better than AI.
303
Is the reason you're not being forthcoming because you're afraid that she'll put you back in the hat again?
304
No. I'm just...
305
How many times a year does she let you out of the hat?
306
You know, like two.
307
What's wild is she wore that hat at the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party 2014.
308
Explain yourself.
309
How did the hat come to be?
310
I don't know what's the discourse about the hat.
311
People love the hat.
312
I love it.
313
I own the hat.
314
You own the hat.
315
Have you ever worn the hat?
316
I've worn the hat. When? Where?
317
I wore the hat to an event not too long ago, maybe a year ago.
318
Yeah, I own the hat.
319
What fits under that hat?
320
My head.
321
Yeah, but there's some space.
322
And my brain.
323
And my thoughts.
324
Your thoughts.
325
And my love for you.
326
Oh, OK.
327
Well, that's sweet.
328
It's all under the hat.
329
Pandering again.
330
Coming up, Chloe Sevigny told Harper's Bazaar that she found stunt dressing phony, distasteful, effortful, and cringey.
331
Seems like a lot of effort, all this stunt dressing.
332
I feel like they're very phony and distasteful.
333
As a pioneer of this red carpet style, what do you say to people who think you're doing too much? you.
334
Oh.
335
Do you want to clarify to camera in case they didn't catch that?
336
you.
337
And if I knew how to say it in different languages, I would.
338
But I don't.
339
I only speak English, so you.
340
Our word is for you to represent your culture.
341
And what culture is that?
342
Nigeria.
343
Leopard?
344
Atunamakana.
345
What the hell?
346
That's Swahili.
347
Sorry.
348
What do you mean sorry?
349
Sorry.
350
Apologize to Nigeria and my Nigerian culture.
351
I apologize, Nigeria, because I thought that this print represented your culture and the animals that you keep in your homes.
352
Sorry, Nigeria.
353
Apologize to Timon and Pumba.
354
I apologize to Mona Pumba.
355
Timon and Pumba.
356
Timon and Pumba.
357
Y'all were working with Disney for like 20 years.
358
I apologize.
359
I'm sorry.
360
I thought I was paying homage.
361
The fact that you assume that all Nigerians have a leopard in their house is crazy.
362
What do you have in your house?
363
A kitchen.
364
Oh.
365
Mary Kel Zendaya's 1995 Mugler look that you said that you could retire off of.
366
Her 2011 Never See Never premiere look, which was the first look you saw for her.
367
And then Zendaya's 2015 Oscars look.
368
I don't want to play this game with those looks
369
because I think all those looks are incredible and they really play a huge part in both of our careers.
370
There's no f*ing, there's no marrying, there's no killing.
371
No, we want to marry all of them.
372
Okay, so you're pleading the fifth.
373
And I don't understand f*.
374
Does it mean like f?
375
Well, I think it's up for interpretation, but it probably means f*.
376
Why is that your go-to with f*ing?
377
I mean...
378
What about like mwah mwah?
379
No, because it's like f*ing.
380
Right?
381
No, you tell me.
382
No, I'm asking you.
383
No, please define f*ing.
384
I mean fing, you know?
385
Why are you biting your lip at me?
386
You have an unofficial red carpet boycott on Saint Laurent, Dior, Valentino, Chanel, and Gucci Gucci because they said no to dressing Zendaya when you first started out.
387
Can you turn to camera and tell the kids about the importance of being petty?
388
I think that there is an importance of being petty, but I've outgrown my pettiness.
389
I think that holding grudges makes you ugly.
390
So in my quest to become more beautiful, I've released some of the grudges that I held.
391
I'm actually wearing Saint Laurent right now.
392
Okay, great.
393
And will Zendaya be wearing any of these on the carpet?
394
No. Coming up, what'd you think of Euphoria season three?
395
Hmm.
396
I think that Euphoria season three was not as good as Euphoria season two.
397
Oh, okay.
398
What'd you think about Euphoria three?
399
I did not watch it.
400
Hmm.
401
Are you a Zendaya hater?
402
No, are you kidding?
403
Her name starts with a Z.
404
Why didn't you watch it?
405
I don't really like the sex stuff.
406
Yeah.
407
Yeah, I'm kind of like a conservative in that way.
408
Are you a virgin?
409
No, I'm a Charlotte.
410
Would you rather wear five-fingered toe shoes or get a delta one seat that doesn't lay flat?
411
A five-fingered toe shoe?
412
You would?
413
Yeah.
414
Because you hate when your bed doesn't lay flat.
415
Yes.
416
You had a public breakdown.
417
Can I explain that?
418
Please.
419
I work really hard, and I have three careers, and I travel a lot.
420
And if I wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning, and I go to the airport, and I'm getting on a flight,
421
and I expect to be able to lay flat in a seat and to sleep, because when I get off that flight,
422
I have to work, there is nothing wrong with me being disappointed
423
that I don't get that luxury also because I paid for it.
424
But I don't think I had a tantrum.
425
I think I just let Delta know that at that moment- You let them know?
426
I was disappointed.
427
How did you let them know?
428
Dear Delta, I am disappointed that I paid for a lay flat seat
429
and I did not receive that on a six hour flight
430
when I had been working the day before and I was getting off the plane to go to work again.
431
Some of the criticism around this is that people were like, why don't you use your platform to end homelessness or to heal the baby seals?
432
The platform that I wanted was the platform that lays flat with a comforter and a pillow.
433
And by the way, what medallion are you?
434
Delta Diamond 360.
435
I started at Delta Gravel.
436
What are the perks of that one?
437
There was.
438
And I worked my up from gravel to diamond.
439
Started from the bottom.
440
Now we here.
441
As far as fashion faux pas, are nip slips your 9-11?
442
Love.
443
You like a nip slip?
444
Love.
445
Really?
446
Why?
447
Especially for someone that's, of course, at the age of cassette.
448
It's great that people have followed you and supported your career.
449
And what better way than to give them a nip slip?
450
Oh, give back by showing your areola.
451
Correct.
452
Got it.
453
Show yours.
454
You want me to nip slip? Of course.
455
Why?
456
Because you have to do it in a way that you really, that is just a slip.
457
It can be on purpose.
458
It has to be like you're walking, the wind is blowing, you have on a beautiful John Galliano Dior bias cut slip dress, and all of a sudden.
459
Pacific.
460
And then your little Hershey kiss pops out.
461
Wow.
462
Wow.
463
Wow.
464
Wow.
465
My Hershey kiss pops out.
466
You know I'm a Charlotte.
467
You look like Charlotte today, but I've seen you be a Samantha. When?
468
Couple days ago.
469
Just saying.
470
And what are you?
471
Charlotte, for sure.
472
You're Charlotte?
473
Absolutely.
474
Coming up, marry, kill, Oscars, Grammys, Met Gala.
475
Kill, Oscars, the Grammys, meaning like the Grammys, right?
476
That was very crass.
477
And then the Met Gala.
478
Mary, cause I love it.
479
Do you have a motion for the Met Gala?
480
Oh stop, oh my God!
481
I have to blur that out.
482
I apologize to the children at home watching.
483
No children watches this.
484
How dare you, I'm very popular.
485
Z-Way love the kids and the kids love Z-Way.
486
All right.
487
What did more damage to the black community?
488
The crack epidemic or the Kardashians calling cornrows boderic braids?
489
Never forget, never forget 9-11.
490
That was my 9-11.
491
Never forget.
492
The crack epidemic for sure.
493
Has a skimpy celebrity outfit ever made you clutch your pearls, by the way?
494
Like how much skin is too much skin?
495
Mmm.
496
Like should we all be going full Biancas and Sori?
497
Yes.
498
Okay, you like the naked look.
499
I'm not sure I like the naked look just for shock value.
500
But there is a story about Grace Jones going to an event with just hair.
501
And I think it's something powerful about a woman being really secure in her body
502
that she can show up to an event naked.
503
And I don't think we have those type of girls anymore.
504
I love a bad girl that has no inhibitions.
505
I love a Rihanna walking out of the club with a glass of wine.
506
You know what I mean?
507
I think that we are missing those type of women now.
508
And I miss those type of girls.
509
You got to stop those girls.
510
They're out there.
511
There are any ladies out there that want to show up to the event beautiful and naked, call me.
512
So you own a 17-acre piece of land in Georgia.
513
24. Because you wanted to reclaim a plantation.
514
Yeah.
515
Do you ever feel haunted by the ghost of the Confederacy?
516
No, I feel uplifted by the ghost of Harriet Tubman.
517
Good.
518
Speaking of Harriet Tubman, do you think that she would look better in Mugler or custom Emanuel Ngaro?
519
I think she would look better in Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry.
520
Oh, what look in particular?
521
Look 34.
522
From which season?
523
Um, the last season.
524
I almost pulled the Ngaro look for today.
525
Oh, I wish you would've.
526
But you decided to wear that.
527
And what's wrong with this vintage Chanel 1994 spring summer suit?
528
Nothing.
529
How many black friends do you have?
530
I only have black friends.
531
Name them.
532
Shanika, Shekana, Sharitha, Zazaria, Tameka, Salat.
533
You said one of your biggest influences is your grandmother, Eloise, who put you on to vintage shopping, aka junking.
534
as well as your gorgeous mother and Zendaya.
535
Turn to camera and speak to your love of black women.
536
I love black women.
537
I think black women are the most special,
538
powerful beings on the face of this planet.
539
And they literally hold the world on their shoulders.
540
I love them so much.
541
but not so much that I want to have sex with them or to be them.
542
Oh.
543
But I love them.
544
Coming up, you identify as aromantic.
545
Yes.
546
Have you ever considered going on Love Island to find someone?
547
No, but I want to be a host on Love Island.
548
Do you watch Love Island?
549
I don't.
550
What do you do with your free time?
551
No, I sleep a light and I research
552
because I want to be the best image architect I can be and other than that, I just make love to myself a lot.
553
Oh, got it.
554
Because I'm aromantic.
555
Okay, so you goon, you're a gooner.
556
Not really a gooner, that's a little excessive.
557
But do you look on Twitter for imagery or how do you get started?
558
That is such a personal question, Z-way.
559
Well, you brought it up.
560
No one told you to talk about touching yourself.
561
You were first inspired to become a fashion stylist by Rachel Zoe saying she gave me something to dream about.
562
Yes.
563
What do you think about her career as a Real Housewife?
564
And do you have any aspirations to be on a reality TV show?
565
I do.
566
I want to be on Real Housewives of Atlanta so bad.
567
What would your catchphrase be?
568
Getting all these girls on the show was really genius.
569
But the only thing you are missing is a penis.
570
Wow.
571
Wow.
572
Wow.
573
Wow.
574
Wow.
575
Wow.
576
In the previews for this season of Project Runway, season 22, you go back and forth with Tyra Banks. Be honest.
577
As a fashion-loving gay boy from the south side of Chicago, was it your dream to be clocked by Tyra Banks?
578
Did she clock me?
579
You tell me.
580
I don't think so.
581
As far as you two disagreeing, is it a battle of the titans?
582
I don't think we had a clash at all.
583
I think we have a difference in opinion and a difference in what's fashionable and what's not.
584
Got it.
585
And who's right?
586
Me.
587
What drama do we have to look forward to this season?
588
I think not only do you have the drama with the contestants, you also have the drama with the judges.
589
You and Tyra.
590
Who else fights?
591
You keep wanting to bring it back to Tyra, but I fight with all the judges.
592
You do?
593
Every single one.
594
You're like the Nicki Minaj of American Idol.
595
Not Nicki Minaj.
596
You said you fought with everybody.
597
We're landing this plane.
598
Do you have a funeral outfit picked out?
599
Yeah.
600
You do?
601
Okay, so I want my funeral.
602
First of all, I have to have, like, Carla Otto or Lucien Pages do my funeral, my guest list.
603
I need Celine Dion to sing Amazing Grace.
604
I want to be buried in custom Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry.
605
What if he decides I should die in?
606
I need catering, I need a step and repeat.
607
I want Zendaya to be there with a remake of the hat that Coretta Scott King wore to Martin's funeral.
608
Like, she knows this already.
609
If you're not dressed up, you cannot get in.
610
And if you don't do that, then I will haunt you.
611
Oh.
612
Yeah.
613
Do you know how you'd like to die in this scenario, or?
614
I would love to die either at Bergdorf's or, you know, boarding a private jet somewhere.
615
Wow.
616
With the Birkin.
617
With the Birkin.
618
Yeah.
619
How do you think this went?
620
Great.
621
I just, like, make love to myself a lot.
622
Fabulous.
623
I enjoy myself.
624
What do you want your last words on screen to be?
625
I love Zee Wei and I wish her years
626
and years of success and millions and millions of dollars and a big cat that she can have in her house.
627
A large cat?
628
Leopard, cheetah.
629
I can't.
630
Something exotic that she can raise as her own.
631
In the brush.
632
As her child.
633
You disgust me.
634
Yeah.
635
Give it up for La Roche!
636
Did you bring the Birkin?
637
I didn't bring the Birkin.
638
La was explicitly instructed to bring the Birkin that George Santos used in this interview.
639
He was the facilitator of that.
640
I stuffed $100 bills into the Birkin, and it was manhandled by an alleged scammer, but he didn't bring the Birkin.
641
But you're part of Z-Way Dreamhouse history.
642
Thank you.
643
So thank you for that.

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.
