1
I still don't see why I need a driver's license.
2
Albert Einstein never had a driver's license.
3
Yeah, but Albert Einstein didn't make me wet myself at 40 miles an hour.
4
Yeah, and I never wanted to kick Albert Einstein in the nuts.
5
You know, I gotta ask, why don't you just get a license at 16 like everybody else?
6
I was otherwise engaged.
7
Doing what?
8
Examining perturbative amplitudes in n equals four supersymmetric theories, leading to a re-examination of the ultraviolet properties of multi-loop n equals eight supergravity using modern twistor theory.
9
Well, how about when you were 17?
10
Take this to the testing area, put your name at the top, sign at the bottom, answer the question, and bring it back.
11
Next!
12
Application?
13
I'm actually more of a theorist.
14
The application in your hand.
15
Give it to her.
16
Oh.
17
Take this to the testing area.
18
Put your name at the top, sign at the bottom, ask the question and bring it back.
19
Next!
20
Excuse me, but I have some concerns about these questions.
21
Look at that sign up there.
22
Yes?
23
Does it say, I give a damn?
24
No. That's because I don't.
25
Just look.
26
See, this first question makes no sense.
27
How many car lengths should you leave in front of you when driving?
28
There's no possible way to answer that.
29
A car length is not a standardized unit of measure.
30
Look at the sign.
31
Show them it's C.
32
Just put down C.
33
I don't need your help, Penny.
34
Listen to that little girl, honey.
35
Put C next.
36
No, no, wait.
37
No, hang on.
38
Look at this next question.
39
Sheldon, why are you arguing with the DMV?
40
How else are they going to learn?
41
Look, question two.
42
When are roadways most slippery?
43
Now, okay, there are three answers, none of which are correct.
44
The correct answer is
45
when covered by a film of liquid sufficient to reduce the coefficient of static friction between the tire
46
and the road to essentially zero, But not so deep as to introduce a new source of friction.
47
Here's your learner's permit.
48
Go away. But I'm not done.
49
I have many additional concerns about these questions.
50
Don't make me climb over this camera.
51
All right, come on.
52
Come on.
53
Next.
54
Aced it.
55
you

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 9 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, I'm, didn't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: friction /ˈfɹɪkʃən/, coefficient /ˌkoʊ.ɪˈfɪʃənt/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: coefficient /ˌkoʊ.ɪˈfɪʃənt/, supersymmetric /suːpəsɪˈmɛtɹɪk/, ultraviolet /ˌʌltɹəˈvaɪələt/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: amplitude /ˈæm.plɪ.tud/, static /ˈstæt.ɪk/, examine /ɪɡˈzæmɪn/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als friction, amplitude, coefficient.
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.
