1
You know, if you haven't been getting along very well and you go to try to have a date, if it isn't a complete bloody catastrophe, it might be a step forward.
2
I used to have people who were having trouble in their marriage in my clinical practice, and I'd say, well, when was the last time you guys went on a date?
3
And they'd just like roll their eyes and like, that was, they thought, this is a stupid therapist.
4
That's what they both agree on.
5
This is a stupid therapist.
6
That's one thing we could agree on.
7
And then often they begrudgingly agree to go have a date.
8
And the whole plan was to go have like the worst date in the world, so they could come back and triumphantly report how miserable the date was to prove
9
that they had the stupidest therapist in the world.
10
And you know, and I can understand that because they're all frustrated
11
because they hadn't had like a good date for like 10 years.
12
And so they were really pretty frustrated and unwilling even to hope.
13
But you know, if you haven't been getting along very well and you go to try to have a date, if it isn't a complete bloody catastrophe, it might be a step forward.
14
And maybe if you do it 30 times, it'll sort of be 20 % enjoyable, which is a lot more than zero.

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.
