20
We have been together for two years and we live in different countries.
21
We actually, we have lived together before,
22
so we live together in Sweden
23
when I used to live in Stockholm I lived with my boyfriend we lived together
24
and it was so great um I really loved living with him
25
so yeah I definitely I definitely miss
26

27
I can't find my eyeshadow palette so I'm using this teeny little Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow.
28
It's got like four four colors um and honestly they're not really my they're not really my color.
29
When I do makeup I love doing like super dark like super dark eye makeup
30
but this is like really light it's like a little pastel
31
little pastel palette but it's cute today I have been working
32
so I work as an English teacher I know some people are asking me about opening classes
33
but at the moment I I do want to do
34
that in the future
35
so in the future I would love to open kind of classes on here
36
but I'm still trying to work out how this can work in terms of like my calendar
37
and my schedule and international payments and things like this.
38
In the UK, we do study languages at school,
39
but oh, I'm sharpening my eyeliner.
40
This is my eyeliner sharpener.
41
Yeah, so in the UK,
42
we do study languages at school,
43
but we do a really bad,
44
a really bad job at it, honestly.
45
So So we.. we start studying languages in secondary school.
46
Secondary school is when you are 12,
47
you start studying at 12,
48
but you do one year of French.
49
I then did one year of Spanish.
50
And then if you want to keep studying languages,
51
then you can, or you can do something else.
52
So I did not study any languages.
53
I did it for two years,
54
a year of French and a year of Spanish.
55
and I know, I knew nothing.
56
Like, now I speak a little bit of Spanish.
57
I can survive in Spanish if I need to but,
58
you know, my French...
59
Bonjour.
60
There's nothing else.
61
Like, my French does not exist.
62
I also realised I did not explain what I'm doing with my makeup so
63
I'm now using the L'Oreal Paris brown eyeliner whatever um I I started using brown eyeliner recently
64
because I used to wear
65
so much eyeliner like I was not an emo I was not like an emo kid
66
but I was not an emo kid but I wanted to be
67
but I still really like wearing a lot of eye makeup um
68
and it's funny because I don't know what I'm doing I just put it on
69
and I and I smudge it I just smudge it like this
70
and that's this is what I do I recently have been thinking about investing
71
isn't that scary but I feel like now I'm like a grown-up now
72
so I'm starting to think about okay financial stability going into
73
the future you know how am I going to save money things like this
74
and I don't know what I'm doing so if you have a book on finances that you recommend or maybe
75
maybe a content creator let me know I don't have a blush at the minute um a blush is something
76
that I really like I want to invest in um the other day I was in Sweden
77
and I went to Sephora which is where I bought this foundation
78
so I'm using the Charlotte Tilbury I don't know what this
79
is glow stick whatever um i yeah i bought this from charlotte tilbury
80
and i also wanted to buy one of the blushes from road
81
but they didn't have a road in sephora so i'm using a lipstick.
82
Is that bad?
83
But I use this lipstick.
84
I just do that.
85
And I get my fingers.
86
I get my fingers and I smudge.
87
I smudge the blush.
88
Something I haven't done yet is my mascara.
89
for some reason I always put off doing my mascara I put it off until the end
90
so I avoid doing it I don't know why I think it's
91
because my I like to put mascara on my lower lashes
92
so the eyelashes on the bottom and sometimes that makes a mess like my eyelashes on the bottom are quite long
93
so I can't finish my base,
94
my skin, until I have done my mascara.
95
I just curl my eyelashes up with my finger.
96
My microphone died so I've changed it.
97
What was I saying?
98
I was saying about my mascara, I think.
99
I always use the Clinique High Impact mascara.
100
It's the best mascara ever.

which is a city in the south of California.
107
I lived in San Diego for one year as part of an exchange.
108
I was there for study abroad and I went to UC San Diego and it was the best.
109
I think there's a joke,
110
at least in the UK,
111
there's a joke that people who go on study abroad never shut up.
112
Like they always talk about their study abroad and that is me.

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.
