It's the last day of August, which only means one thing.

We are, or I am, stepping into my new year tomorrow.

Fall slash autumn is one of my favourite times of the year.

The Christmas spirit is building.

I love the cosiness of soups and baking and watching fun things like Gilmore Girls.

I just love autumn.

I think it's really cosy.

So I thought today I want to set all of my intentions for my new year and just do a little clean,

a little refresh, a little purge of things that no longer serve us.

And yeah, if you celebrate your new year in September as well, let me know because I've always done this.

I think because when I was younger, collectively, we all went back to school, we went back to work.

It just felt like the new year.

So that is what I'm going to be doing today.

I've just woke up in my apartment for the first time since coming back from Ibiza.

When I flew back from Ibiza.

I stayed at my mum and dad's for a few days.

So today was the first morning that I've actually got my morning routine back.

And for as much as I love traveling, which I do love traveling and I love being spontaneous and I love stepping out of my comfort zone,

there's something about coming back to your routine that feels so good.

I had my overnight oats this morning.

I made my coffee.

I sat down.

I journaled, did my full morning routine and it felt extra, extra romantic this morning.

So I've just done some skincare and I pulled these eye patches out of the fridge.

I know these aren't going to do anything because they are Hello Kitty eye patches, but I'm using them purely because they're cold.

So yeah, I'm going to treat today as if tomorrow is my new year.

I'm actually going to see Ariana Grande tomorrow, which will be really fun.

but I want to set my intentions today.

I want to clear some things out.

I want to go back to the gym

because I have not worked out for over two weeks now which has actually been really nice.

I feel like my body needed a break but I want to step back into the gym today.

It's actually a bank holiday so I'm hoping it's going to be quite quiet.

Because I've been gone for a

while I do have quite a bit of PR to get through

so I'm probably going to start opening a couple of boxes now so I can take the boxes before my cleaner comes.

So I was sat reading my daily stoic this morning and this is basically daily philosophy.

I thought I'd go back and read some pages that I've highlighted or just kind of put a little bookmark in.

I wanted to read this because I thought this was very fitting for the new year.

I want to think about my intentions for the new year.

I want to think about the person I want to be, what that looks like, what she looks like, what her daily activity looks like.

So I thought this was very appropriate.

So it's actually called be the person you want to be.

First tell yourself what kind of person you want to be and then do what you have to do.

Those in athletic pursuit first choose the sport they want and then do the work.

Our perceptions and principles guide us in the selection of what we want

but ultimately our actions determine whether we get there or not.

So yes, spend some time, real uninterrupted time thinking about what's important to you and what your priorities are.

Then work towards that and forsake all the others.

It's not enough to wish and hope.

One must act and act right.

So that's what I'm going to do today.

I'm going to write down the person I want to be and from then on, we are going to act on that from there on out.

Quickly speaking about books, I finished yesteryear.

What a whirlwind of a book that was.

I think I spoke about this in my Ibiza vlog,

but it's about an influencer who's like a trad wife and she wakes up one morning in the 18...

Oh, I don't want to give any spoilers, but basically in like the olden days or something wasn't right.

And it's a bit of a dystopian vibe.

It's like a thriller, I would say.

The ending really confused me

because I felt like it there was always something going on I thought the storyline was really good

but then at the end I just felt like it was very rushed

but overall I really enjoyed the book and I feel like

if I got one lesson from that book

because this is the thing I do like to go between fictional

and non-fictional books and I do tend to read both simultaneously

but I do think there's a lot to learn from fictional books as well

because you're stepping into someone else's shoes and you're experiencing grief, you're experiencing love.

I may have spoken about this before

but you experience life through someone else's eyes

which I think you can learn from so much

and the one thing that I learned from this book is you can't live an unauthentic life

because it's going to make you so miserable.

I've been in a religion that I didn't necessarily believe in.

I lived in it for so long and was miserable

and there's other times in my life where I feel like have been living for other people

and what I think they want.

Now I'm just living my life the way I want to live it.

It's just highlighted the importance of that and highlighted how miserable you can be

if your life is performative or you're just living unauthentically for you.

It's been a really interesting book and I highly recommend reading it

and this is something that I need to focus on in September also.

I need to decorate my apartment.

I don't know why I keep procrastinating it.

I think because in summer I just wanted to enjoy but now I definitely need to start decorating my apartment.

Like I want to get some pictures up.

I need a rug.

I need some cushions and I want to make this a home

because I think I'm going to be here quite a while.

I mean I've only got my apartment for a year but I'm already thinking I'm going to extend.

Like I love it so much here it makes me

so happy and even when I was in Ibiza I was getting kind of homesick

because I was like I just love my life in my new home and yeah anyway let's go through some PR.

Okay my eye patches have had their moment I'm not really sure

if they've done anything other than cool down my eyes

but they felt nice and I had cute hello kitties on my face.

Anyway I'm not going to go through all of my PR because I do have quite a lot, but I've just unboxed a couple of things.

So I'll show you some things that we have.

100

I'm going to start with this one from YSL.

101

I love the way YSL package their PR.

102

I always keep the boxes because I think for decorative purposes, I mean, let me take this sticker off

103

and store some other beauty products in here

104

but this is from ysl perfume black opium pink glaze yum

105

and it also came with some little espresso cups

106

which i don't have and some ground coffee so does this have coffee in it.

107

I love the black opium perfume.

108

It's sweet.

109

It's nostalgic.

110

So this is the new pink glaze, which has notes of strawberry, green mandarin, jasmine, vanilla, and coffee.

111

Delicious as always.

112

I think this will be a really nice autumn perfume.

113

I'm so excited for autumn.

114

I can't even explain it.

115

And if you're not, and if summer is your favorite season, which kind of is mine.

116

I really do enjoy summer, but just think about all the things that we can look forward to in winter and autumn.

117

And it's going to be Christmas.

118

This is from, I can never pronounce this and I don't want to butcher it because people laugh at me.

119

L'Occitane.

120

Some hand cream, very important for the colder months.

121

I have noticed it's actually started getting a little bit chillier.

122

Oh, this is nice and thick.

123

Smells yum.

124

They've also sent me the shower oil, which I've used before and I'm obsessed with this.

125

I don't even feel like I need to lotion because it just leaves this really gorgeous coating on your skin.

126

It's amazing.

127

And then they've also sent the Supple Skin Oil, the after shower version of the shower gel.

128

We have one from Rare Beauty.

129

Gorgeous packaging.

130

Gorgeous Miss Selena.

131

So this is the perfume and I swear I saw pears.

132

I love the smell of pears.

133

One of my favourite perfumes is the Jo Malone.

134

I think it's English pear

135

and freesia oh my god i'm excited to try this let me spray it on something

136

because i feel like i've got the ysl one on me now oh that is

137

so good it's definitely a fruity scent still very rich very

138

gorgeous thank you miss selena i don't know what this is

139

oh this is like this is like a magic eight ball

140

let's give it a shake what should we ask it is it time for a new beginning

141

bright future ahead i'm gonna take

142

that as a yes i think this one is another perfume my perfume collection is forever building

143

and guess what one of my favorite things in the world is smelling good

144

so this one's from jimmy too

145

and it's the i want you midnight i actually did the campaign for the I want you perfume

146

and I genuinely believe after filming

147

that campaign the smell of this perfume is embedded in my nose I sprayed

148

so much of that perfume while I was shooting it

149

that I know exactly what this is going to smell like I mean this is the new version let's see

150

if it's as nice as the original oh this is nice

151

I kind of prefer this one blackberry violet knight orchid in cedarwood

152

so it's quite woody rich sexy gorgeous date night then this

153

is some clothing from with jean one of my favorite brands ever

154

so gorgeous and we've got some knits it's

155

that time of year obviously kind of low-key prefer autumn clothing

156

to summer i think my summer wardrobe has been very boring this year

157

but anyway I have this really cute high neck knit top I also have the matching skirt

158

and I think as a set this is really gorgeous

159

but I'd probably wear them both separately as well

160

which I always love whenever I get a co-ord I'm always

161

thinking okay I'm going to wear like the skirt with a vest

162

and wear the top with the skirt or with jeans

163

or with another the skirt so I'll get a lot of wear out of this

164

and I love this baby pink color I feel like

165

if ever I did a color analysis this baby pink would be one of the colors I should be wearing

166

because I think whenever I wear it I always feel really confident

167

and I just think it makes me look better you know

168

especially now I've got a little bit of a tan I did catch a tan in Ibiza

169

and I want to hold on to this for as long as possible.

170

I'm going to put all of this away and then I'm going to go get ready for the gym.

171

I think my clean is coming in an hour, so I want to have a little tiny round.

172

And then tonight it's going to be excellent.

173

We are going to put a face mask on.

174

We're going to do our full body shower.

175

I'm going to set my intentions for the year.

176

I'm going to put a whimsy movie on and we're going to have a girls' night in.

177

Also, how rude of me.

178

Thank you so much for all of the birthday love.

179

I've stepped into my 29th year.

180

I'm so optimistic about my 30s.

181

I can't believe I'm turning 30 next year.

182

That is actually insane.

183

I don't know where my life is going, but this is a reminder as well that life passes you by so quickly.

184

And I saw something yesterday that was saying, if you knew that your life was going to be cut short, what would you now prioritize?

185

Because that made me realize that my priorities recently have been so off.

186

If someone was to watch me on a camera in my apartment, which is a really scary thought,

187

but if someone was to watch me and look at what I do when I'm alone and what I prioritise, what would they say I devote my time to?

188

I think I could use my time better.

189

I'm terrified of wasted potential for myself.

190

I don't ever want to look back and feel like I've wasted potential.

191

So that's another thing I want to think about tonight.

192

I always have a lot of thoughts on my New Year's Eve, which is August 31st. I just finished at the gym.

193

I didn't vlog because, number one, I left my camera.

194

And number two, you're actually not allowed to vlog in this gym.

195

It's a Soho house gym. But I just finished.

196

Let me get outside.

197

No, wait.

198

It's actually just started raining.

199

I feel like we definitely needed some rain after the drought we've been in.

200

But I finished at the gym.

201

I've been there an hour.

202

I'm going to stop by Whole Foods on my way back because since coming back from Ibiza, my fridge is looking very sad.

203

I, like everyone else, I'm obsessed with the Remy's banana bites.

204

So I'm going to get a pack of these for my girls' night in.

205

I just don't know what flavour to get.

206

I'm thinking either dark chocolate and peanut butter or maybe just the dark chocolate.

207

I feel accomplished today.

208

I've been to the gym, I've done a food shop and I finally unpacked my case.

209

It's something that I've been procrastinating but I've done my holiday washing and I've just had my everything shower.

210

It's currently 6pm and it's already going dark outside.

211

We're definitely entering, I mean I've said that so many times but I can so tell that we're entering autumn now.

212

My plan for the evening is have a little bit of a self-care night.

213

I'm going to make some dinner.

214

I'm going to put a face mask on

215

and I'm going to write down all of my goals and things that I want to work towards.

216

But while I was away, I realised the importance of a good shampoo and conditioner

217

because my hair was so dry and I feel like it's really just come back to life.

218

This is the shampoo and conditioner I'm currently using.

219

It's from Amika and I'm using the Hydro Brush, which is really moisturising on my hair.

220

It's so good.

221

In fact, should I show you some products that I'm liking currently?

222

Because I feel like we've not done that in a while.

223

I'm going to use the Kerastase Antifreeze Glazed Milk.

224

My hair is naturally very frizzy, so this just helps keep it looking nice and smooth.

225

And I'm going to use the Gizu Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream.

226

This is good for heat protection.

227

It's got a leave-in conditioner.

228

And it makes my hair feel really soft and silky.

229

and then in terms of skincare i think i'm going to sleep in a biodance face mask tonight

230

so i'm not going to do my full skincare routine

231

but why did we forget this exists this is the willida skin food in fact was it just me

232

that forgot this exists because i've started using this again my skin has never felt

233

so hydrated and glowy and it's so affordable it's

234

so cheap i've just been using this recently and my skin's looked really good.

235

I have also started on retinol again.

236

This scares me because sometimes my skin can look a little bit scaly with it

237

but I'm starting with Retinol 1 by Medicaid and I don't think it's looking too bad so far.

238

I'm just going to start using this twice a week and then build it up.

239

This is the cleanser I've been using by Dua and it's powered by Augustina Spader Science.

240

So you're basically getting an Augustina Spader product a fraction of the price because that shit is so expensive.

241

And then I've also used a scrub from Caudalie.

242

This is the Deep Cleansing Exfoliator.

243

This is all stuff that I did in the shower because I'm lazy.

244

Then I always douse myself in the Sol de Janeiro cream.

245

This is just a staple.

246

It smells incredible.

247

It makes your skin feel really soft and amazing.

248

And then I'll show you my deodorant.

249

This one by Salt and Stone in the scent, Sandile.

250

I'm trying to use more natural deodorants, even though sometimes they don't work as well.

251

I'd rather that than having chemicals in my body, you know.

252

I think while I start my journaling, I'm going to put my red light mask on because I've not done that for a while.

253

And then I'm going to put my sleeping mask on before I go to bed.

254

Very happy with my little setup.

255

I've got a fun beverage, rhubarb flavored.

256

I've got my notebook.

257

I also got a new journal while I was in Ibiza

258

but this isn't for this kind of journaling this is to put in my handbag

259

because I sometimes just get thoughts throughout the day where I'm like I want to write

260

that down just to kind of get rid of it

261

and the notes app doesn't always do the trick I actually like to physically write something down

262

so I got this little journal

263

because I thought it was the perfect size to go in my handbag

264

so the things I wanted to write down aren't just about being hyper productive.

265

Some of them are work goals and I don't know things to work towards but

266

another thing I wanted to write down is things

267

that I always say that I want to do but then never actually get round to it.

268

So I see so many recipes on TikTok, on Instagram that I say oh I'm going to try that

269

and then never try it or loads of movie recommendations where I say

270

that I'm going to watch it and then never end up watching it.

271

So I'm going to write things down kind of like a tick list of things

272

that I want to do like recipes I want to try, movies I want to watch, restaurants I want to go to, activities that I want to do

273

but I want to make some time to do them this month

274

because I just feel like at the minute my brain is just in work mode

275

and it's making me unhappy like it I'm not unhappy but I think I don't know I could be happier.

276

Starting your goals now kind of gives you a head start for when everyone else starts their goals in January.

277

So by the end of the year I want to be stronger, I want to be healthier, I want to be happier and then I'm going into the actual new year kind of ahead of myself.

278

I don't like to say other people because I don't like to compete

279

or compare but I'm already ahead of where I am right now.

280

I'm gonna put my red light mask on and get started. so

281

happy first of september

282

which is very very weird to say i feel like we've had the longest summer ever

283

because we've had such great weather

284

but at the same time it feels like it's absolutely flown by

285

and the fact that we're now coming into autumn is crazy but I'm so excited for coziness.

286

I did my full lock-in last night so I did my mood board, I wrote down my goals,

287

I journaled, manifested and it feels like a great day to start.

288

I've just got ready for pilates and I'm gonna really miss wearing shorts.

289

I love working out in shorts but I feel like it's low-key too cold now.

290

I mean I could take shorts and go in like sweats

291

but what I'm thinking is I do have some errands to run today so I have a Zara parcel to return.

292

I also have to pick some parcels up.

293

I need to pick some makeup top-ups up that I left in Ibiza

294

and I just have a few other errands to run.

295

So what I'm thinking is I'm going to go to my Pilates class.

296

I'm going to take myself out for breakfast because one thing that I've not done since being in London, actually, no, that's such a lie.

297

I was going to say I've not taken myself out on a solo date, but I took myself out for sushi once.

298

I don't know why, but the thought of going for a solo date kind of scared me.

299

And I was like, whoa, that never used to scare me.

300

So I need to step out of my comfort zone again and get comfortable with being alone.

301

So I'm going to take myself up for breakfast after my class

302

and there's a place that does the most incredible scrambled eggs.

303

I can taste them already.

304

Tonight we're going to see Miss Ariana Grande.

305

So I'm probably going to try and film some TikTok content today as well.

306

I'm also going to dedicate tomorrow to filming some content

307

because I feel like there's so many jobs that have kind of piled up that I've been procrastinating.

308

So I'm going to do that tomorrow

309

but we've got a really fun day today i'm excited

310

but i'm just getting ready for pilates oh look we have

311

a new magnet i got my ibiza magnet is this the

312

only new one since i last saw you i also have

313

this one from hannah from poland i want this to be full

314

so yeah just thought i'd show you my magnet update um

315

but i'm just going to take my supplements very quickly before i go and i have to say

316

I do say so myself my skin looks great today.

317

I did the bio dance face mask

318

And I feel like my skin's coming back to life

319

because since being in ibiza I was drinking more than I

320

normally do I was eating whatever I wanted I Wasn't really sleeping very much

321

and I feel like my skin looked like shit

322

And this is why I take my supplements

323

because I feel like I do notice a difference with my

324

skin epitome being one of them i feel like you don't actually realize how much your gut controls

325

controls your mental health it controls your skin health

326

and a bunch of other stuff

327

that i don't know about i'm not a doctor you know

328

i'm back on my supplements now something i was neglecting also in the ether

329

but i was just enjoying you know like it's good to be on a routine when you're at home

330

but when you're on holiday it's actually nice just to let go of

331

that control and just be present in the moment i mean i had a great time

332

so it was so worth it but i think my skin looking good again

333

and to be fair we're definitely getting there this is my supplement stack

334

so i've got collagen lion's mane biotin cod liver oil

335

and epitome i actually shouldn't be allowed sunglasses because I've lost yet another pair.

336

That's five pairs of sunglasses that I've lost this year

337

but I just love wearing sunglasses

338

and this morning feels like one of those autumn mornings where the sun's out but it feels a little chilly.

339

This is so perfect.

340

I love mornings like this but I'm just walking to my class.

341

Today we've got a Legree class which is kind of like Pilates on steroids.

342

It's quite hard, but I'm looking forward to it

343

And then out again, go.

344

Never pull me straight in your arms.

345

And get to the braille set.

346

That's it.

347

We're on the lead in 3, 2, and 1.

348

Wow.

349

This looks really delicious.

350

I should listen to them.

351

They're perfectly folded.

352

I'm now going to go get a matcha.

353

And I'm trying to decide whether I've got time for a cheeky blow dry.

354

I just can't think of what I want to do with my hair.

355

I've also been thinking I might get my tapes taken out now

356

because I think my bob's grown to a length that I actually like.

357

So I'm thinking of having a little break from my tapes I did say

358

that I was going to do that after my birthday so it's something that I'm definitely considering

359

I've missed this matcha so much I'm not kidding it's the best matcha in London

360

raw press hazelnut matcha the sea salt maple matcha wow i've not had it for

361

so long so it tastes extra good today

362

10 minutes after i said that i booked the appointment

363

but the only one they had was at half one

364

so i've had my blow dry i'm just waiting for these pins to cool

365

and then i'm gonna have and take them out.

366

It was a very quick turnaround when I got back

367

but I've just finished my makeup and I wanted to do something a little whimsy

368

so I've just added some glitter in my inner corner.

369

I did film a TikTok but I think it was out of focus.

370

Really good content creator.

371

I'm not allowed to take my camera

372

because you're not allowed to take professional cameras

373

so i think i'm just gonna vlog on my phone thank you

374

so much this has been such an extraordinary experience thank you

375

for 10 beautiful london shows at her 41 incredible eternal sunshine tour shows i look a little crazy

376

but i've made it home in one piece it's currently half 11

377

and i've currently got some ramen on the stove it's

378

so amazing i feel like she's got a new fan tonight

379

because even though i do enjoy some of her music i

380

can't really say i listen to her on a day-to-day basis but after tonight the vocals this girl is so talented.

381

I was mesmerised and we also got given some bits from, is it REM Beauty or is it REM Beauty?

382

But we've got given some makeup so I'm gonna try some of her makeup products as well.

383

I'm so glad that I went and I'm gonna be completely honest with you, I experienced my first social anxiety in a long time.

384

I've not stepped out of my comfort zone for so long.

385

I have to remind myself that you need to keep pushing yourself to do things

386

and get out of your comfort zone because I thought

387

that I didn't get social anxiety anymore I thought it's something

388

that I'd mastered so I was going to the concert alone I didn't know anyone going

389

and I got there and I swear guys I nearly had a panic attack like I was

390

so anxious for the first hour but it just reminded me

391

that even the parts of yourself that you want to work on, like you want to overcome, they can still slip through the cracks sometimes.

392

And it's just reminding me

393

that I need to do more things like what I've done today where I take myself out and I don't know, just get more comfortable being alone.

394

But anyway, I'm tired.

395

I'm going to go take my makeup off.

396

I'm going to eat some ramen and then I'm going to go to bed.

397

Good morning.

398

It's now Thursday.

399

I spent all of yesterday filming my content.

400

I was catching up on work and I just wanted to lock in.

401

We're up and out early this morning.

402

I've already showered, I've done my makeup and this morning I want to organise my summer wardrobe.

403

I'm back down in Manchester, up in Manchester this weekend.

404

It's my friend's birthday and I want to take some of my summer clothes back to my mum and dad's.

405

I don't know why but I like to keep my summer wardrobe and my winter wardrobe separately.

406

So I'm going to do that this morning and then I feel like I've really manifested working with some incredible brands.

407

So I'm working with Tala for the first time.

408

I have some things to shoot for them this morning

409

so I'm going to get on with that after I've organised my wardrobe.

410

And then we've got an event with them this afternoon

411

which is a Pilates event and there's nothing more exciting to me than a Pilates event.

412

I just love them.

413

Last night I made my overnight oats and used the rest of my milk

414

so I don't have milk to make a matcha or a coffee

415

so I'm gonna go grab one this morning also can't believe it's now

416

that time of year where I can wear sweats again

417

which I'm very happy about this is very cozy

418

but I woke up this morning and I was

419

so cold for the first time in a long time I feel like I've not experienced cold in a

420

while but I've just got my sweats on I'm gonna go grab my coffee

421

and I think I'm just gonna go to Joe in the juice honestly like I'm gonna have

422

that twice today but I've got my black card

423

so I may as well make the most of it god it's

424

so windy today that was another thing that I feel like I've manifested

425

so I've been invited to some New York Fashion Week shows

426

which is so exciting

427

and I'm like 80% sure I'm gonna go I feel like the anxiety I got the other day

428

when I was at the Ariana Grande concert kind of put me off

429

but I can't let

430

that put me off I mean this is such an incredible opportunity i will be going alone

431

but i do know people that are going like my friend evie's going grace is going

432

and i do have friends in new york

433

so i do think i'm gonna go it's my favorite place in the whole world

434

and i feel like if anything's gonna inspire me it's new york

435

it's all right don't worry thank you so much you knew joe

436

and the juice do breakfast wraps is this new because I've never seen a breakfast wrap on the menu before.

437

I mean, I did make some overnight oats, but I was more interested in a breakfast wrap.

438

I also got my matcha.

439

I get it with the sprout milk.

440

It's really nice.

441

I was very intrigued to try this.

442

They did an egg and avocado, a steak

443

an egg or a turkey and egg i opted for the turkey with egg

444

and avocado i'm so intrigued i love a breakfast wrap

445

there's a lot of wrap going on at the top it

446

needs sauce i think it actually has some sauce in it

447

it's got like a salsa verde i'm gonna add some extra sriracha

448

i like it just finished filming

449

and these tala sets are insane i can't believe it's taken me this long to try

450

but i'm obsessed with the quality of them they're

451

so buttery soft i think they look really cute um also

452

sorry about the mess this is what happens in the background of my videos

453

so I need to clean this up and then we're gonna go to a Pilates class.

454

I've just left the event and we've got a little

455

goodie bag and my second Joe of the Juice of the Day in here

456

but I didn't film the Pilates class because I was filming it for TikTok.

457

I'm just editing my new vlog and realised I literally filmed half a day on Thursday and forgot to film an outro.

458

I had a very spontaneous Thursday evening so I never ended up finishing the vlog but I thought I would say goodbye.

459

Thank you so much for watching.

460

I did book New York so there's going to be a New York vlog which I am so excited about.

461

I'm going on my own if you have any recommendations on food places

462

or vintage shops or Just anything while i'm in new york, please let me know.

463

I feel like i've not been for so long I think the last trip I went on was a solo trip too.

464

465

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.
