I Can I Can I Can I Can Can
3
New money, suit and tie I can read you like a magazine Ain't it funny,
4
rumors, lie And I know you heard about me So hey,
5
let's be friends I'm dying to see how this one ends Grab your passport
6
and my hand I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
7
So it's gonna be forever Or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over
8
If the high was worth the pain Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane
9
Cause you know I love the players And you love the game Cause we're young and we're reckless
10
We'll take this way too far
11
It'll leave you reckless Or with a nasty scar Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane
12
But I've got a blank space,
13
baby And I'll write your name Cherry lips,
14
crystal skies I could show you incredible things Stolen kisses,
15
pretty lies You're the king,
16
baby, I'm your queen Find out what you want Be that girl for a month Wait,
17
the worst is yet to come Oh no Screaming,
18
crying, perfect storms I can make all the tables turn
19
Rose garden filled with thorns Keep your second guessing like Oh my god, who is she?
20
I get drunk on jealousy But you'll come back each time you leave Cause darling,
21
I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream So it's gonna be forever
22
Or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over If the high was worth the pain
23
Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane
24
Cause you know I love the players And you love the game Cause we're young and we're reckless
25
We'll take this way too far
26
It'll leave you breathless Or with a nasty scar Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane
27
But I've got a blank space,
28
baby
29
And I'll write your name Boys only want love
30
if it's torture Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn ya Boys only want love
31
if it's torture Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn ya
32
So it's gonna be forever Or it's gonna go down in flames
33
If you tell me when it's over If the high was worth the pain Got a long list of ex-lovers,
34
they'll tell you I'm insane Cause you know I love the players,
35
and you love the game When we are new,
36
we're reckless, we'll take this way too far It'll leave you breathless,
37
warm with the nasty scar Got a long list of ex-lovers,
38
they'll tell you I'm insane But I got a blank space,
39
baby And I'll write your name

Thank 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.
