Work out.
2
Speaking of work out, how about you and I work out our English speaking muscles with some shadowing practice.
3
Let's shadow.
4
Shadow me, baby.
5
Here we go.
6
Let's jump right into it.
7
At the start of the year, repeat after me.
8
At the start of the year, I decided it was finally time to really work out more.
9
And take better care of my health.
10
All right, now let's shadow.
11
Say it together with me.
12
Ready?
13
Here we go.
14
At the start of the year, I decided it was finally time to really work out more and take better care of myself.
15
I said self.
16
Of my health.
17
Take care of my health.
18
Let's try it again.
19
Here we go.
20
At the start of the year, I decided it was finally time to really work out more and take better care of my health.
21
Health.
22
Can you say that word right?
23
Health.
24
How is your health?
25
Is it good?
26
Maybe you need to work out more?
27
All right, let's jump to the next one.
28
I was tired of feeling sluggish.
29
Sluggish is slow moving.
30
You're moving really slow.
31
You're sluggish.
32
I was tired of feeling sluggish. And out of shape.
33
Out of shape.
34
That just means you're not very healthy.
35
You're not very strong.
36
You're weak.
37
You're fat.
38
So I signed up for a gym membership and put together a simple weekly plan.
39
A plan that I thought I could actually stick to.
40
And if you stick to something, that means you continue doing it.
41
Stick to it.
42
Keep doing it.
43
So, a plan that I could actually stick to, that I could actually continue doing without quitting.
44
Alright, let's shadow this two times.
45
Join me.
46
I was tired of feeling sluggish and out of shape,
47
so I signed up for a gym membership and put together a simple weekly plan I thought I could actually stick to.
48
All right.
49
One more time.
50
Here we go.
51
I was tired of feeling sluggish and out of shape,
52
so I signed up for a gym membership and put together a simple weekly plan I thought I could actually stick to.
53
Good.
54
That first week was really tough.
55
After each workout, I felt exhausted.
56
Sore.
57
And honestly, pretty tempted to give up.
58
Pretty tempted to give up.
59
Alright, let's shadow that.
60
Here we go.
61
That first week was really tough.
62
After each workout, I felt exhausted, sore, and honestly, pretty tempted to give up.
63
Again, that first week was really tough.
64
After each workout, I felt exhausted, sore, and honestly pretty tempted to give up.
65
Pretty tempted to give up.
66
To give up.
67
All right, good.
68
I remember dragging myself home.
69
Dragging.
70
You know, you pull along.
71
You walk very heavily you're dragging your legs.
72
I remember dragging myself home.
73
Wondering if it was even worth it.
74
Is it worth it?
75
Should I continue?
76
I don't know if it's worth it.
77
Wondering, thinking about, wondering if it was even worth it.
78
And I thought about quitting more than once.
79
More than one time.
80
More than once.
81
I thought about quitting.
82
I thought about quitting.
83
Let's shadow.
84
Here we go.
85
I remember dragging myself home, wondering if it was even worth it, and I thought about quitting more than once.
86
Again, I remember dragging myself home, wondering if it was even worth it,
87
and I thought about quitting more than once.
88
Maybe twice or three times.
89
I thought about quitting every day.
90
Every second, I was thinking about quitting constantly.
91
but instead of giving in, giving in is giving up,
92
same thing, I kept pushing through,
93
pushing through, kept going, and kept reminding myself,
94
kept telling myself, reminding myself why I had started in the first place.
95
Kept reminding myself why I started in the first place, Why did you start in the first place?
96
I kept telling myself the answer to that question.
97
Okay, shadow me two times.
98
Here we go.
99
But instead of giving in, I kept pushing through and kept reminding myself why I had started in the first place.
100
One more.
101
But instead of giving in, I kept pushing through and kept reminding myself why I had started in the first place.
102
I wanted to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in my own body.
103
That is why he started in the first place, because he wanted to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in his own body.
104
Repeat after me.
105
No, don't repeat after me.
106
Say it with me.
107
Shadow me.
108
I wanted to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in my own body.
109
Again, I wanted to feel...
110
I jumped to confident when I should have said stronger.
111
Let me try it again.
112
Sorry about that.
113
Rewind.
114
I wanted to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in my own body.
115
yes we got it
116

117
if you said i cut out junk food
118
that means you quit eating all junk food
119
if you say i cut down on
120
that means you reduced the amount of junk food you eat that's that means you still eat junk food
121
All right, so I cut down on junk food, began cooking more meals at home,
122
and even asked a friend to train with me to help each other,
123
to keep each other motivated.
124
I changed the words for some reason.
125
Keep each other motivated.
126
So I even asked a friend to train with me to keep each other motivated.
127
To keep each other motivated, I asked a friend to train with me.
128

138
So, I cut down on junk food, began cooking more meals at home,
139
and even asked a friend to train with me to keep each other motivated.

Now, working out feels like a natural part of my daily routine, rather than something I have to force myself to do.
149
I kind of said that now a little strange.
150
I should have said, now working out feels, should have been like that.
151

Again, I actually look forward to it because I know how much better I'll feel afterward.
171
Looking back, I'm really proud that I didn't back out when things got hard.
172
Back out, that's to quit.
173
If you back out of something, Go back, you say, I'm not going to do it.
174

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.
