Hi, I'd like to book a table for a team dinner next Thursday.

Wonderful! How many people will there be?
4
Fourteen. Is your private room free that evening?
5
Let me see... Yes, it's free from seven o'clock.
6
Great! Oh, and three of us don't eat meat.
7
That's no problem at all. Our chef makes a lovely mushroom risotto.
8
I'm afraid we ask for a deposit for groups over ten, though.
9
Oh, really? How much is it?

20
Oh, that's fine! My meeting finished early, you see.
21
I'm afraid there's a ten-pound fee to change your ticket.
22
Ten pounds? Ugh, that's a lot!
23
Well... I suppose it's still worth it.
24
Lovely, here's your new ticket.

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.
