or credit card information.

name similar to the one you're trying to join just to trick you and get access to your phone.

You're the courager because I get up to go to the bathroom a lot.

In English, corridor most often refers to a long hallway inside a building, like a cool hallway with classrooms.
116
An aisle is a narrow passage between seats or shelves.
117
For example, the airplane aisle and the supermarket aisle.
118
Oh, so I prefer an aisle seat.
119

120
Business?
121
What's the difference?
122
You're in the economy class.
123
Economy seats are cheaper and more common.
124
Economy class has smaller seats and less leg room, which means you don't have much room to stretch your legs.
125
Oh, I know.
126
And the food is horrible.
127
Once I got...
128
what's the name?
129
Food poisoning?
130
Yeah, food poisoning.
131
Ugh.
132
Then there's premium economy.
133
You get more room, better seats, and better food.
134
Premium economy.
135
Okay.
136
And there's business class which has much larger seats and some of them recline like beds.
137
They give you priority check -in, security and boarding.
138
What about first class?
139
First class is the most luxurious class.
140
Just a few airlines offer it.
141
On some airlines you get a private suite or even a small room.
142
Can you imagine that?
143
I want this first class.
144
You should say I'd like to upgrade to first class.
145
I'd like to upgrade to first class.
146
How much is it?
147
$3 ,600.
148
What's that number?
149
When a number is over 1 ,000 but under 10 ,000, native speakers often say it using hundreds instead of thousands.
150
For example: 1 ,500, 2 ,800, 50.
151
But this doesn't apply to around thousands, like the numbers you see on your screen.
152
We say 1 ,000 4 ,000.
153
And this is not a rule, it's just a common way to say numbers, okay?
154
Okay, so you mean that the first class costs $3 ,600 or...
155
3 ,000 and $600?
156
Correct.
157
I prefer the economy class.
158
It's better.
159
I like talking to people there.
160
Okay, here's your passport, your boarding pass, your baggage tag.
161
Your gate is B12, boarding starts at 7 :30.
162
Um, uh, too much information.
163
The boarding pass is your ticket to get on the plane.
164
The baggage tag is the receipt for your suitcase.
165
And boarding means the time when passengers start entering the plane and the action itself of getting onto the plane.
166
Oh, thank you.
167
Have an excellent flight to Las Vegas.
168

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.
