But we do have some more heavy rain moving out of Indiana and moving into northern parts of Kentucky.
38
Lots of clouds of ground, lightning, torrential downpours, too.
39
And also some spotty showers and storms peppered across the interior parts of New York and into Pennsylvania, too.
40
We have flood watches in effect because as this rain moves eastward, the ground is pretty saturated.
41
That could lead to more flooding.
42
The flooding we're seeing is mostly river flooding at this point, especially all across Indiana where those red dots are.
43
That's where the rivers are at moderate flood stage, so well above the banks.
44
So anyone in low-lying areas along the banks of those rivers will end up still dealing with that flooding.

Here is Lala.

Now back to a tropical storm.
54
It's going to continue to move to the west.
55
It is no longer a threat to Hawaii.
56
Even though it should strengthen back into a Category 1 hurricane, it will stay out over the water.
57
So we will see improvements as the surf starts to calm down, too, around Hawaii.
58
So things are improving there.
59
Okay.

All right, Dylan, we'll come back to you in just a few moments.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
