This means the best or most important fruit, like durian in Southeast Asia.

232
This means the best time when something is most available or fresh.
233
Example 1.
234
Mango's peak season is summer, so they're cheapest then.
235
Example 2.
236
Holiday peak season makes travel expensive.
237
Third, fun fact.

Bananas are berries.
242

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.
