but then to see it illustrated and play out in the city, the island of lost toys, how all these things were not what people expected or not of the norm.
12
And I remember being very, very affected by the injustice, and that really touched me as a kid.

In the case of The Little Mermaid, I remember it was the first animated movie I had ever seen that took me somewhere else.
14
And I remember just being so transfixed with the idea of going under the ocean and swimming and living a whole kind of other life.
15
A movie I saw called The Killing Fields.
16
It was a war movie and there's this whole section of this movie where the protagonist has to escape from bad guys and it goes silent for like 30 minutes.

It felt incredibly emotional.

The Lion King.
21
And I remember I was five years old and watching Mufasa fall to his death.
22
And I was so traumatized that I had to leave the theater.
23
It hadn't hit me before.
24
But when I saw Simba nudging Mufasa's body and he wasn't moving, and Simba was telling him to wake up, but his dad wasn't waking up and he just lay there and that stayed with me for a really long time.
25
It traumatized me a little bit, but I think I grew a little bit after watching it too.
26
Imagine your cast away on an island.

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 7 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals wasn't, you'll, hadn't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: impression /ɪmˈpɹɛʃn̩/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: incredibly /ɪŋˈkɹɛdɪbli/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, protagonist /pɹəˈtæɡ.ə.nɪst/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: narrative /ˈnæɹ.ə.tɪv/, engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, traumatize /ˈtɹɔ.mə.taɪz/, nudge /nʌd͡ʒ/, unfold /ʌnˈfoʊld/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: narrative /ˈnæɹ.ə.tɪv/, protagonist /pɹəˈtæɡ.ə.nɪst/, animate /ˈæn.ə.mət/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, protagonist /pɹəˈtæɡ.ə.nɪst/
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 lesson, silent, narrative.
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.
