In a kind of crisis, I would say.

Things do not come to me.
109
It's as if everything changed very suddenly.

In a moment I was so high ...
111

And she leaves...
115
... without giving any explanation.
116
And you stay...
117
...blank Time passed by and my editor asked for explanations ...
118
... that I couldn't even give myself.
119
Maybe everything was a sum of fortunate events.

Maybe it was just being at the right time and in the right place.

No... No no!...
142
I... Of course not, I ...
143
I had to tell you what you ...
144
...your book!,...
145
...means to me.

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.
