1
Once upon a time, well more like a few years ago,
2
it was a beautiful summer day in Paris and I was exploring the city after work.
3
This was my first time in Paris
4
and I felt like being a little adventurous so I went off to see the magic of the City of Love.
5
I went just about everywhere,
6
the museum, the Eiffel Tower,
7
but I wanted to try a real Parisian café.
8
So I stumbled upon one and decided to have a cup of coffee.
9
It didn't It didn't take me too long to figure out that this was an authentic French cafe,
10
as in the menu had no English translation.
11
And you guys know how awesome my French is.
12
The server however politely asked me something in French,
13
well at least I think he did,
14
so I was really embarrassed and I felt really bad.
15
And just when I was about to break out my phone to look up some translations,
16
someone tapped me on the shoulder and asked,
17
Excuse me miss, do you need help?
18
I can speak French for you.
19
Oh my gosh, I was so awkward and shy.
20
He was so sweet and ordered everything for me in French,
21
and we ended up staying at the cafe for a few hours, talking about everything.
22
Before we left, we decided to keep in touch and exchanged our emails and numbers.
23
The next day, I had to fly home,
24
but he was on my mind the entire ride home.
25
If you're in a long-distance relationship,
26
here's how you can maintain it.
27
Dom and I made sure to always find time to talk.
28
We found ways to have fun with it.
29
We were able to share our favorite moments.
30
I kinda went overboard and pretty much showed him every single meal I ate.
31
Food is where the heart is.
32
Well, to me it is.
33
And he would share his favorite moments with me too.
34
It was almost like a window to his life.
35
I really felt like I was there.
36
We also shared our favorite songs to each other.
37
He'd dedicate a playlist for me,
38
and I'd listen to it on my way to work.
39
I made him listen to cheesy love songs.
40
Besides sharing messages, songs, videos,
41
or other links, we'd share real tangible things.
42
He would send me his favorite t-shirts and spray his cologne on them.
43
When you have something you can hold,
44
it doesn't really feel like a dream anymore.
45
I know it's tough, but it's okay.
46
Long distance was not meant to be easy.
47
It's hard for a reason.
48
That's why having sentimental things like a t-shirt,
49
sweater, handkerchief, even a plushie can make you feel closer to your love.
50
I sent down my favorite plush bunny.
51
I even made sure to spray my perfume on it so that he really felt like he was sleeping next to me.
52
I can't stress how important it is to communicate.
53
Right when you wake up and before you go to bed,
54
you always want to have the first and last words for your love.
55
Come on, it doesn't take much effort to say hello or goodnight.
56
And the most important tip?
57
Always have a date to meet.
58
This isn't pen pal stuff.
59
This is a loving relationship.
60
So if you're ready to commit, make a date.
61
I can't think of a better feeling than knowing you're about to see the person you love.
62
Those butterflies in your heart, that anxiousness, savor it.
63
And when you see that smile, cherish each moment.
64
And when you're together, be yourself.
65
Don't put your best foot forward.
66
Show all your flaws.
67
Show your bad habits.
68
Heck, get into a fight every once in a while.
69
there's no such thing as a perfect relationship, only a strong one.
70
And the only way to grow stronger is to overcome challenges.
71
Like I said, cherish each moment.
72
Be yourself and love freely.
73
Don't hold back.
74
Two years later, Dom and I were finally able to see each other.
75
And funny enough, we were reunited in Paris.
76
Someone once told me that good things come to those who wait.
77
But I believe that dreams are really waiting for you.
78
And my dream was waiting for me in Paris.
79
So I went after it.
80
We had our first kiss under the Eiffel Tower.
81
Love is not always about being with someone.
82
Love is about discovery.
83
You'll discover new parts about yourself that you never knew.
84
Love will change you, but it's up to you if you let yourself change for the better or worse.
85
I know for me, I'm always ready for an adventure,
86
and I'm not holding back.
87
Love knows no boundaries, so keep your heart open and stay strong.
88
Good luck.
89
you

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.
