Frog eggs are soft and jelly-like, and the mother frog usually lays them in big clumps big clumps.

Inside each egg is a baby frog, slowly growing and getting ready to hatch.

The froglet becomes an adult frog.

breathe with lungs and hop around using its strong legs.

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.
