We don't need no snow company.
66
I can make snow on my own What wait here bro.

96
I want a slide that I can slide down on.
97
Me and my friends can enjoy.

We can go tubing.
99
That is the craziest idea I've ever heard.
100
You want a slide in the middle of your living room.
101
Exactly.
102
Do you know how much snow that's going to cost?
103
I don't think we need a slide.
104
No, I think we need a slide.
105
We need a tall slide.
106
I mean, it's going to destroy the entire house.
107
That's perfect.
108
That's perfect.
109
That's perfect.
110
No, no. Can you provide protection at least?
111
Yeah, I mean, if you guys take out all the furniture, and lay down some tarps.
112
I mean, it's possible, but have you asked the wife about this?
113
Yeah, yeah, she's cool.
114
She's cool.
115
She's real chill.
116
Yeah, she's super chill.
117
Let's take you outside.
118
Let's show you outside.
119
We have a plan outside.
120
Meanwhile, let's see if Salar was able to find Andrea.
121
All right, guys, I'm currently at Target because Ali told me that Andrea would be here.
122
Where could she be?
123
She's got to be here somewhere.
124
Look who I just found.
125
That's Andrea right there.
126
Now all we have to do is keep an eye on her and follow her.
127
Whoa, man nice backyard.
128
Thank you, but I mean it's gonna look better when we cover it in snow, right?
129
Okay, so what are we doing out here now?
130
Alright, so out here I want a lot of snow like a lot of snow, but we're not done there.
131
We're not done there Okay, I need a ramp with a like jump at the end of it
132
So I can slide down the ramp and jump off into more snow.
133
Is that necessary?
134
That's super necessary.
135
Okay, I can have the snow here in about an hour for you guys.
136
Yeah, let's do it.
137
That's perfect.
138
Okay.
139
All right.
140
Deal, Mr. Snowman.
141
Deal.
142
Thank you.
143
All right, so we only have an hour before all of the snow people come.
144
So that means we have to take out all of the furniture.
145
All right, move everything.
146
All right, move it all.
147
Bro, you're not moving anything.
148
Are you serious?

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.
