Before and after.

Korinske.

It's from Frank Carvello's apartment.

It's almost alive.
35

36
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
37
That's vandalism.
38
Assault.
39
You know, I'm happy that you put it that way, because that's exactly what we're gonna be charging your client with.
40
What are you talking about?
41
He didn't just fail to eradicate a bed bug infestation.
42
He actually created one.
43
Yeah, he pulled the carpet from one of his old buildings, carpet that was already infested, and then he reinstalled it in my client's apartment to drive him out.
44
That's crazy.
45
You might want to warn your client about perjury.
46
We've got sworn testimony from the installer.
47
And a picture of the same carpet from one of his old buildings before it was renovated.
48
By the way, my wife and I really love what you've done with the place.
49
So it looks Just like we're talking about, what, assault?
50
Violations of rental codes, health codes, and, you know, just basic codes of human decency.
51
And if a jury in New York heard all that?
52
Wow, imagine the damages.
53
Harvey, spectate, please.
54
Just get that carpet out of here!
55
So, Vivian, how am I doing for my first time?
56
This still counts as my first time, doesn't it?
57
Now, let's talk about how much this is gonna cost you.
58
Yes?
59
Just thought you'd like to know your case, the pro bono.
60
I won.
61
How exciting for you.
62
Like I said, it's just a pro bono case.
63
It's not going to help your career.
64
I did also manage to sign 15 new clients who are all suing for the same harassment, and they will be paying.
65
So you can multiply this number times 15.
66
It's not bad for Rookie League.

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.
