4
And now that it is over, we will take you to airport.
5
No problem.
6
Oh, you guys are too much.
7
Wait, Boris.
8
There is problem.
9
What is it?
10
We are four people.
11
Uber only has room for three.
12
Perhaps we should play game to eliminate problem.
13
My thoughts exactly.
14
Uh, what game would we be playing...?
15
What's with him?
16
No idea. But now that I have gun out of pocket, we can play game.
17
All right!
18
Oh! Most intense game ever!
19
I know, right?
20
Hey, American, wake up!
21
We'll play game now.
22
Come on. NO.
23
No, I refuse to play that game.
24
Why you so scared?
25
It's just kids' game.
26
Then you guys must have had very dark childhoods.
27
Look, all you do is spin and hope you don't get hit in head.
28
Yeah. I know how Russian Roulette works.
29
What? No, we call it "Fun Surprise in Face." Here, I go first.
30
You guys, I do not handle blood well.
31
I cannot watch this.
32
No. Oh, three turns.
33
What? I thought we only had to go once.
34
Here I go.
35
Oh.
36
How can you two laugh at this?
37
It's much more fun if you open your eyes.
38
Uh, no, it's not!
39
Trust me, if he gets hit, you're going to want to see the expression on his face.
40
Uh, trust me, I won't.
41
Here I go.
42
Oh!
43
Safe again!
44
You guys, I know there's not a lot of entertainment options in this country, but-- Oh!
45
Right in the schnoz!
46
NO! WHY? Alexei, why?
47
That was fun.
48
How are you still alive?
49
Just open your eyes and look at his face.
50
No. Oh, come on, it's funny.
51
There's stuff splattered all over.
52
Here, here, give it a taste.
53
Oh, no, no, gross.
54
You people are sick.
55
Why? What?
56
All right, American.
57
It's your turn.
58
No way, I'm out, guys.
59
If you quit, you get hit in head automatically.
60
What? It's rule.
61
So nobody quits.
62
Yeah, yeah.
63
It's perfectly harmless.
64
Last time we play, I get hit in face four times.
65
Have you all developed an immunity to head shots?
66
What did Chernobyl do to you guys?
67
Uh, I spin for you.
68
Yeah. Oh, six turns.
69
SIX? There's only six slots in the chamber!
70
Statistically, I'm already dead!
71
What is he talking about?
72
No idea. More American drama, I'm sure.
73
Yeah. If it makes you feel better, I will hold it for you, okay?

Here we go.

No! Clearly it's my destiny to live, and I'm not going down without a fight.
81
Whoa. I've made a huge mistake.
82
Time to go off the grid again.

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.
