146
But you'll be fine.
147
I'm sure Alex is relieved to know.
148
Dominique.
149
Hi, Aaron.
150
What's the best career advice you've received from your grandma's Honsuk?
151
Love you.
152
Love you too.
153
Didn't receive any.
154
No?
155
Nothing?
156
No, I really...
157
Or did you like something that you took from her?
158
Maybe that she didn't give you advice, but you were like, ah.
159
It was more like reverse psychology.
160
As in, she was like, you sure?
161
So you took doubt, basically?
162
Yeah.
163
It explains a lot about me, doesn't it?
164
Yeah, that really does.
165
Yeah.
166
No, but basically what I mean by that is she was like, it's too hard.
167
Are you sure you want to do this?
168
And that builds motivation for me.
169
Yeah, that's interesting.
170
Do you know what I mean?
171
You're such a contrarian.
172
Dominique has notifications silenced, so.
173
Hi Dominique, once your notifications are unsilenced, I hope you get this message.
174
I didn't receive any really, but she would just question and ask me if I was sure I wanted to go on this path.
175
And that in turn gave me motivation because I was like, yeah, I do.
176
Yeah, I do.
177
Leave me alone.
178
Yeah, yeah.
179
And she said, Let me fulfill my dream.

Love you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
