fearless, and cool under pressure.

83
test their skills, and see what happens when some of the nation's best spellers step away from the mic.
84
In fourth grade, I tried the school spelling bee because I thought if I'm good at reading,
85
why not try spelling?
86
And it all kind of just went from there.
87
You kind of just had a natural gift for it.
88
Like, when I was young,
89
when the teachers didn't spell right, I kept correcting them.
90
It's kind of surreal,
91
like going from a written test in like a classroom to like a big stage in Washington, D.C on like national television.

Time and even a strategy to get to what I am today with spelling.

108
Four to five hours on weekdays and eight hours on weekends.

110
That dedication is so inspiring.
111
What is something that you hope kids out there watching can learn from your journey?
112
That anyone can make it to finals.
113
Like if I could make it to finals, anyone can.
114
And that if you put in time and effort,
115
then nothing is stopping you from coming this far.
116
What was going through your mind when you were lifting that trophy above your head?
117
You know, I was just so relieved and excited, to be honest.
118
It was just such an amazing moment.

127
He's worked very hard.
128
There's no denying that.
129
You know, spelling was always his passion.
130
Reading is his passion
131
but like to put in this effort to get to all the GEO words and spell off 32 words in 90 seconds.
132
I mean, I never imagined he would do that,
133
but he did it and I'm so happy.
134
What did it mean, the people who love you most in this world,
135
your parents, your family surrounding you, how'd that feel?
136
It was really amazing because they've supported me throughout my entire spelling journey.
137
So I'm just so glad they were here to like share this moment.
138

Yeah!
140

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
