What are you willing to lose?
2
You cover your wounds, but underneath them A million voices in your head that whisper, "Stop, now" Another twist of the knife, turn of the screws It's all in your mind and it's fighting you Arm yourself, a storm is coming Well, kid...

What you gonna do now?
4
It's your reflection looking back to pull you down So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
5
You gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly Fly, Phoenix, fly It's time for a new empire Go bury your demons then tear down the ceiling Phoenix, fly And now you're playing with matches, come out of the ashes Underneath you, a million voices in the crowd they're screaming, "Stop, now" Well let 'em swallow their pride, you're turning the tide to true believers Got them in the palm of your hand, you're playing God now What you gonna do now?

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.
