Création de la leçon...
1
I heard you say in an interview the other day that a lot of people say they want you back in KISS.
2
And I'm just wondering from your perspective, a lot of people sort of speak for you.
3
Do you feel closure with KISS?
4
Well, you know, KISS.
5
I was one of the founding members of KISS and made KISS what it is today, you know?
6
Yeah.
7
You know, Tommy Thayer was just trying to copy everything I created.
8
He hasn't come up with one inch of anything original.
9
Right.
10
And, you know, I think from what I read on the Internet, I think the fans really want me back in the band.
11
You know, I'm doing fine without Kiss, but if it was offered to me in the right way,
12
I'd seriously consider returning for the last tour.
13
Yeah.
14
Yeah, you know, I think it'd be special.
15
I haven't been asked yet, so it's kind of up in the air.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
