No, that can not be.
14
Speak with me, Mia.
15
We lost our daughter, Pia!
16
My heart is so weak.
17
I call you a best friend.
18
It's very bad.
19
Where are you bringing me?

In a refrigerator, so that the Leiche doesn't stink.
21
And then I'll take a shower.
22
Yeah, the man will take a shower.
23
But first you will take a shower.

Mia lives.

No, look.
27
Mia, what's here?
28
Oh, damn.
29
What was that Mia?
30
Eh, I.
31
I will get my money?

I will get my money.
33
Then I'll get your car.

Do you want to do it?
35
Why did you do it?

I will not go to school.
37
That is your first day after the holidays.
38
So, stay up and take care of it.

Look at me.

I look. And now?
41
See you my eyes?

What do you mean?

My eyes are so ugly.
45
What?
46
So will ich nicht in die Schule gehen.
47
Ich bin viel zu hässlich.
48
Du bist wunderschön, mein Engel.
49
Deine Mutter hat recht, Mia.
50
Du bist das schönste Mädchen der Welt.
51
Mia tut mir so leid.
52
Meint ihr das wirklich ernst?
53
Vielleicht sollte ich auf eine Blindenschule gehen.
54
Da sind nämlich alle blind wie ich.
55
Ich halte das nicht aus.
56
Komm zurück, Pia.
57
Mama denkt auch, ich bin hässlich.
58
Nein, Mia.
59
Mama muss nur A machen.
60
Ach so.
61
Geh jetzt bitte zur Schule, Mia!
62
Kann ich bitte heute zu Hause bleiben?
63
Nein, Schatz.
64
Der erste Tag nach den Sommerferien ist wichtig.
65
Aber wie soll ich das blind schaffen?
66
Du bist Mia Müller, die Pupsqueen aus Düsseldorf.
67
Natürlich schaffst du das!
68
Na gut, Papa. Was?
69
Ich gehe zur Schule.
70
Ich vertraue dir.
71
Gut, komm, ich fahre dich zur Schule.
72
In vier Minuten klingelt es.
73
Dann müssen wir uns beeilen.
74
Zieh dich schnell an!
75
Da kommt Mia endlich.
76
Bist du hier, Papa?
77
Äh, Weihnachten dauert noch, Mia.
78
Hä?
79
Wie kommst du darauf?
80
Du hast dein Weihnachtskostüm an.
81
Ich sehe doch nichts.
82
Äh, kein Problem.
83
Ich helfe dir beim Anziehen.
84
Mama soll mir helfen.
85
Pia!
86
Wie sehe ich aus, Mama?
87
Ich bin hier, Mia.
88
Ich bin hässlich.
89
Oder?
90
Hör mir zu Mia.
91
Du bist eine heftige Betty.
92
Wie heftig?
93
Sehr heftig.
94
You will be in the school today really slayin.
95
That's slayin, Mama.
96
Yes, you are a cool sock.
97
And what is with my eyes?
98
Your eyes are wonderful, Mia.
99
And when the other people laugh?
100
Then I'm going to die out.
101
Well, I trust you and Papa.
102
Good, go now to your father.
103
Ander in the direction, Schatz.
104
That's the other outfit was better.
105
Now you have to go on.
106
Then I'm going to go not to school.
107
Wait, Mia!
108
Your outfit is a pop!
109
I'll go ahead and ask you, before I think I'm going to do it.
110
Eh, yeah, Schatz!
111
What's smell here?
112
Eh, I have a new perfume!
113
A new perfume!
114
Eh, I'll go ahead and leave it.
115

118
Will you stress?
119
Come on!
120
What will you do?
121
I'm a guest and know the dead.
122
He can kill you.
123
Oh, that's not.
124
I know him.
125
I know him.
126
What?
127
You're just talking.
128
Hey, brother.
129
Hey, Paul.
130
What's going on?
131
And he told me that he didn't know.
132
You're not Dieter Furzgesicht.
133
I'm your boss.
134
He's going to be me.
135
When I'm going to touch you, you're going to be dead.
136
Paul.
137
I found a lot of money!
138
I have to go on!
139
Let's go!
140
Let's go!
141
This car is here!
142
You have your blind stock?
143
Yes, but I don't use it.
144
Why?
145
I don't want you to hurt you in school!
146
I don't want you to see that I blind!
147
No!
148
You use the stock!
149
Give me 500€!
150
I give you 1000€ if you use the stock!
151
Deal!
152
What do you do with the 1000€?
153
I buy new eyes.
154
I believe no one gives you his eyes for 1000€.
155
That will see.
156
Go now, Mia.
157
You are already late.
158
Herr Schmidt can do it.
159
So, now begins my first day as blind teacher.
160
I wish you much luck, Mia.
161
Now I see Emre again after he made a decision.
162
I ignore this idiot.
163
Hey, everything is okay Mia?
164
Are you Mrs. Sommer?
165
Yes, you are late Mia.
166
I don't find my class anymore.
167
I'm now blind.
168
Hey, we were already informed about it.
169
Ja, du bist zu spät Mia.
170
Ich finde meine Klasse nicht.
171
Ich bin jetzt nämlich blind.
172
Äh, ja.
173
Wir wurden schon darüber informiert.
174
Es tut mir sehr leid Mia.
175
Also werde ich nicht bestraft?
176
Nein, mach dir keine Sorgen.
177
Krass, normalerweise hätte ich Nachsitzen bekommen.
178
Äh, ja.
179

195
Findet ihr mich jetzt hässlich?
196
Nein.
197
You look good out, Mia.
198
Why does it not answer?

230
Ich will aber zuerst Mathe machen.
231
Halt deinen Mund Jamal.
232
Wir machen was Mia sagt.
233
Nur weil sie blind ist.
234
Nein, das hat damit nichts zu tun.
235
Wer jetzt nochmal in die Klasse redet muss nachsitzen.

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.
