Thief.

Maybe she'll be gone for months.

By then, the cheesecake may have gone bad.

We don't want her to come back to bad cheesecake.

No, that could kill her.

Well, we don't want that.

No, so we're protecting her.
30
Well, we should take it.

Yeah, but we should move quick.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

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.
