What happened to you?

I slipped and my ankle hurt so much!
17
I can't stand up!

You have a small fracture in your ankle, so you will need to wear a cast for at least a month.

I'm so upset, Ethan.

Is this how all my hard work has ended?

Lily, your health is the most important thing.

He'll be back at the pool hall now to check everything.

You just stay home and rest.

Uh.
41
Lily, look.
42
This is why you fell.
43
It's not your fault.
44
Did Pip do this?
45
Was she so afraid of losing to me that she had to resort to such dirty tricks?
46
I can't let her get away with it.
47
I'm determined to retake the exam next season to reclaim what's rightfully mine.
48
I'll always be there to help you.
49
We'll start training as soon as your legs are stable.

You'll swim faster than ever before.

Yes, Doctor.

Keep going, Lily.

Just one more round.

Let the results speak for themselves under the water, Pip!

This is the final round of this year's swimming competition!

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.
