tell you something. I also raised a little boy from South Central. I had him for 12 years of my life and he was murdered. People hit rock bottom all the time.

Oh,

I've done it more than once. Life happens for you, not to you. Were you good at sales? I'm one of the best that's ever been on the planet. You know what pitching is? Yeah. Getting someone to say yes. Because if you can get one yes, you can get a credit card. That's gate right there. I realize at a very early age, if you can persuade someone else to say yes to you,

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.
