1
One, two, three, huh!
2
Gym Gym!
3
Love is Legally Blind!
4
Hey, that's my boy!
5
It's so nice to see the children back at the school with the rope jumping and the teasing of the beefy ones.
6
Once my testicles really send, I'll be back to normal, too.
7
Chin, with our recent problems, we can't afford a neck break for at least six more months.
8
I'm upside down because it's an American school.
9
Boo says they're all upside down there.
10
Boo's a very intelligent boy.
11
Ah, the thrill of the bald-faced lie.
12
But seriously, come down from the tree.
13
I'm your principal, so you have to obey.
14
So the cops never linked you to the Ench Cave, huh?
15
No, I could still be ruined.
16
Then I'm thinking you can't tell me what to do.
17
Still blackmailing me?
18
Don't feel special.
19
You're not my first time.
20
He's lived a full life.
21
Oh, there you are, Inchi.
22
Can I grab you for a minute?
23
I remind you there are witnesses, and I will scream.
24
I'm a fighter now.
25
You know, abusing you and the other teachers for two years on
26
that cot made me realize I might have a slight problem, maybe.
27
I mean, that's what my mom thinks, and she's been right about other things, like getting my tubes tied with a double knot.
28
That's bigger than you saw, I believe.
29
I can't believe it.
30
They both have square-shaped glasses!
31
I finally know their secret!
32
Teach me the true art of love! Of love?
33
What's that?
34
What I saw you doing in the bathroom one time.
35
Can we talk about this away from the other kids?
36
I always wondered what anyone could see in either of you, but now I realize you wound each other with your square-shaped glasses, which you clearly bought at the same love store.
37
Wait, our glasses?
38
I guess they do look similar.
39
They're identical.
40
That's why you have love touches.
41
Any touching you saw us do in the past had nothing to do with love, trust me.
42
To be honest, Jim, Miss Polly and I wear prescription glasses because we each have a very rare medical condition.
43
These shades protect my girlishly fragile corneas.
44
And I wear these because when I don't, the anger comes.
45
We didn't get prescription so we could do this alleged touching.
46
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
47
So has our awkward conversation cleared things up?
48
I'd say I have a very impressive grasp on it now.
49
At last, we finally taught you something.
50
You have.
51
You got your glasses for other reasons, and the super love magnetism they caused was just a happy side effect.
52
We're not in love!
53
Don't hate it, celebrate it!
54
If you're not gonna listen to what we say, then why don't you just get your own square-shaped glasses?
55
See if they make you a darn wine, DiMarco.
56
Oh, great idea!
57
Hello, haunted butt.
58
Now that you have square-shaped glasses, I can't keep my hands off you.
59
Should we kiss?
60
Yes, all over.
61
Ah, no shit, stop!
62
I don't think you mean it!
63
That's not how I imagined it being.
64
Masso cries a lot, doesn't he?
65
Yeah...
66
But onto something that matters!
67
Becoming legally blind!
68
Mom always says sitting too close to the TV will make my eyes suck.
69
That's a healthy start.
70
This footage of Koska Bay Gardens was taken just...
71
Glasses, here I come!
72
...unidentified man set the grounds ablaze with what's been called- Glasses, here I come faster!
73
...uncontinable new power over fire, killing 83.
74
The police department will arrest until this heartless murderer of men, women, children- Whoa, it's way too much ugly!
75
Reading in the dark hurts your eyes too, which is why I never read in case of a sudden solar eclipse.
76
But if Glasses gets your tail, bring them all!
77
Here goes.
78
I hope this book has a lot of pictures.
79
Whoa!
80
Don't you think we've had enough closet hijinks for one week, Shin?
81
I was just thinking a theme could help tie all these random stories together.
82
Ultimate Cap Lob will return after this word from our non-licensed medical sponsor.
83
Trying to kill your eyeballs makes you hungry.
84
Are you hyperactive, mischievous, obsessed with your bowels, are criminally selfish?
85
Because the cause might be simpler than you think.
86
You might not be blinking enough.
87
This commercial isn't speaking to me at all.
88
Oh, you have lost again, marketers!
89
I just want to eat my salty Whitescrackers in peace.
90
You'll die alone. So salty!
91
Not blinking can make you blind or give you realistic eyes like this.
92
That wouldn't fit our drawing style.
93
But I need to go blind or I must not blink.
94
If you or someone you love is suffering from under-blinkage, call about our four times per day pill.
95
This revolutionary treatment is cheaper than you think because it isn't government approved.
96
It cannot blink!
97
Sleeping on a newspaper?
98
Are you training him to be homeless?
99
Uh-uh.
100
I think he's trying to hurt his eyes.
101
I'm not sure why he suddenly thinks blindness is a good thing.
102
Handicapped parking and a free German Shepherd?
103
It's not that crazy.
104
One eye strenuous day later, our little Shin-Chan was forced to admit defeat, even after his most brilliant plan for optical damage failed.
105
I can't believe Mom wouldn't buy me that flesh-eating acid.
106
Like anything with acid, it could be that bad.
107
That, my friends, is some grade A fan service.
108
Let's hear it for the bonus panty shot!
109
So, you're glad you saw that?
110
Yeah, of course, Musso.
111
Took a mental picture.
112
It was like 10 megs.
113
Um, you do know if your vision sucked, you wouldn't have seen that tawdry display.
114
Well, that's what the glasses would be for, silly face.
115
But what if a grizzly bear had broken my glasses just before the panty shot?
116
Oh, for the first time my plan has a flaw.
117
Over there!
118
We can't give the kids any reason to think something happened between us once or countless times.
119
Yes, or between me and Miss Katz, or me and Miss Anderson, or me and Mr. K, or me and the former janitor.
120
Please, Miss Katz!
121
I'm begging you!
122
Teach me the true secret art of love!
123
Clearly you know!
124
Did Miss Anderson put you up to this sarcastic attack?
125
No, this is all me!
126
You're the only teacher without glasses or a boyfriend who's loyal!
127
Please!
128
You don't want to be like me.
129
I haven't had a man since Crocs came out.
130
Good, I don't like men!
131
Okay, well I guess he's moved on from the glasses idea then.
132
I feel foolish.

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.
