1
Hello my friends, welcome to my English...
2
Ah!
3
Welcome to my English Connor.
4
I know I haven't updated much of my life recently, but honestly I wouldn't even say I have a proper life ever since I started living alone,
5
working as an intern English teacher, and juggling my grad visas at the same time.
6
Not to mention I have to take care of this smelly, evil cat.
7
Before all of this kicked off, I guess I was a bit indulgent indulgence.
8
I used to buy piles of cute but unnecessary clothes
9
and spend hours getting my nails done just to please myself
10
But nowadays one of the most therapeutic activities for me is hitting up the local market
11
Hunting for fresh veggies and cook myself a halfway decent dinner So living alone may sound like freedom on paper,
12
but in reality it's more like Congratulations, you're another chef, cleaner, planner,
13
financial planner, plumber, and your early therapist.
14
Good luck surviving.
15
That's
16
when it hit me campus life no matter how miserable you
17
thought it was was actually low-key a luxury no rent stress no utility bills no endless meal planning
18
and the best part is that you actually had a time and had space to focus on just yourself
19
take a nap go for a walk read a book these normal things feel like a total luxury when you're working full-time.
20
So basically I was living in such a bubble created by my campus, my parents and myself until this adulthood suddenly snapped me out of this bubble.
21
I used to crave excitement, nights out, fancy meals, fancy V-trap moments.
22
Now all I want is number one a stock fridge, number two eight solid hours of sleep and number three a peaceful mind.
23
Anyway that's enough of me whining for today hopefully I can see you very soon

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.
