I think they're just busy.
64
That's a good point.
65
Look at me.
66
I live in the city and I said hello to you.

But you are from the country.

I have an idea.
69
Let's say hello to people.
70
To many people.
71
What?
72
Why?
73
Well, if we say hello,
74
then they will say hello to other people.
75
Hello.
76
And they will say hello to more people.
77
That's a great idea.
78
I'm glad you found my bag.
79
Come on, let's go say hello to people.
80
We don't have to agree with people.
81
They have their opinions, we have ours.
82
And as we like to say,
83
you can always agree to disagree.
84
Until next time, hello!

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.
