This means it's been a really long time and it's very common in everyday English.
67
What have you been up to?
68
Just as common in everyday English.
69
This is a friendly way to ask, what have you been doing with your life?
70
Note however, that if you change your intonation and you say it like this, what have you been up to?
71
It means what have you been doing wrong
72
or what have you been doing that's mischievous it's definitely something
73
I have already said to my children same old same old
74
same old same old this means nothing new everything is the same as before you can answer simply same same old,
75
same old, no way, is an informal way to show surprise.
76
It's like saying, really?
77
I bet.
78
Is often used informally to show agreement, understanding or empathy.
79
In the dialogue in this video, I bet is used to say, I'm sure the wedding was really special.
80
I can imagine.
81
In just two words, I bet.
82
We should meet up properly.
83
This means let's spend time together soon in a planned way.
84
Running into someone doesn't literally mean that you bump into someone.
85
This means to meet someone by chance or unexpectedly.

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.
