1
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.
2
Keep it!
3
No. This is a story about how you're totally in love with Aunt Robin. And there she was.
4
Let me guess.
5
Ted.
6
It happens instantaneously.
7
It causes soil, like the water, up a river, after a storm.
8
Because you have feelings for Ted.
9
Robin and I are just friends.
10
She doesn't even like me that way.
11
Yes, she does.
12
She likes you, she told me.
13
I love her!
14
I told her that the first night we went out, and here it is, eight months later, and nothing's changed.
15
We're not doing this, are we?
16
Are you still holding a friend to me for me?
17
I would have stolen you a whole bunch of stuff.
18
I don't want perfect.
19
I want Robin.
20
It's Robin.
21
I'm exhausted.
22
I am.
23
I'm exhausted from pretending I'm not in love with her. Do you love me?
24
We asked each other, where do you want to be in five years, and our answers were just too different.
25
Well, it's five years later, and where are we?
26
Standing on the roof where I kissed you for the first time.
27
There's nothing between us anymore.
28
Well, maybe there is.
29
Don't get married.
30
We still have our deal, right?
31
We're both still single when we're 40?
32
Yeah, yeah.
33
No. Look, I'm sorry.
34
I can't do that anymore.
35
As long as the door is even a little bit open, I have this feeling that I'll just be waiting around to see if I win the lottery when you turn 40.
36
If you've got someone that you think is really there for you, someone you can depend on, you can be fine.
37
Say what?
38
Say how much you hate that Robin and Barney are getting married.
39
What?
40
No!
41
I'm happy for them.
42
I encouraged Robin to go after Barney.
43
I know, because you thought you were okay letting her go, but now that she's really gone, it hurts.
44
Robin shouldn't be with Barney, she shouldn't be.
45
You're not leaving because you think the love of your life isn't in New York, you're leaving because you think she is.
46
And this time next week she'll be married to you, that's fine.
47
How long have you been hung up on Robin?
48
Eight years?
49
That's more than crazy!
50
I don't think there's a word for what that is.
51
Actually, there is a word for that.
52
It's love.
53
I'm in love with her, okay?
54
If you're looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want, no matter how much it destroys you, it's love.
55
And when you love someone, you just.. you.. you don't stop.
56
Ever.
57
Maybe we don't need the universe to tell us what we really want.
58
Maybe we already know that.
59
Deep down.
60
you want to talk about my top five there's no top five robin there's just a top one and it's you
61
the gang is a married couple who i never see anymore
62
about to have their third kid It's my ex -husband hitting on slutty cops right in front of me.
63
And it's the guy I probably should have ended up with, with the beautiful mother of his child.
64
The point of this story is that...
65
Is that you totally, totally, totally have the hots for Aunt Robin.
66
Mom's been gone for six years now.
67
It's time.
68
What, I just, just call her up on the phone and ask her out on a date?
69
Yes!
70
I really hope you get her someday.

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.
