Hi.
93
Finally I actually meet you.
94
I feel like I know you.
95
I did not expect you in a chair other than when you gave tiny little hints.
96
It threw me off for a second.
97
And I'm actually 29.
98
29?
99
Wow.
100
I was really off.
101
You were right.
102
I actually am Asian, which no one guesses.
103
So you guessed it without looking.
104
In looking now, I was like, I was wrong.
105
You gave me some inches, I was like, sweet, I'll take it.
106
What do you got?
107
I think you said five, eight, six.
108
I'm like, oh my god, I'm like five, seven, on a good day, maybe?
109
I said short, petite, so I was pretty spot on.
110
I don't know how tall you would be.
111
I don't think you would tower over me.
112
No, 5'1".
113
As we get older, things get harder, right?
114
I'm just having to come to face with the fact that I think I'm a little sensitive.
115
I think you're too hard on yourself.
116
I think you just feel things and that's good.
117
Yeah.
118
You're like, I'm sensitive.
119
You're just, you're a person with feelings. For sure. For sure.
120
I gotta ask you, what's like the toughest challenge that I'm like? getting dressed, getting fed.
121
No, so I'm actually not confined to the chair.
122
I can do a little bit of walking, but I walked a lot as a kid, and I only started using the wheelchair when I was in high school.
123
But I grew up with my parents being fearful of my future, you know?
124
Like, I don't know how she's gonna make it in the world.
125
And they would say things to me like, well, we wanna get a house that we can have like an apartment that you can live in, like a basement apartment.
126
I'm like, I don't need to live with you.
127
I can do this on my own.
128
It was nice to meet you, Oshie.
129
Yeah, it was nice to meet you too.
130
Carolyn, it was really nice meeting you.
131
I honestly had a great experience just talking to you.
132
So I don't know if you're a handshaker or a hugger, but I still give you hugs.
133
Yeah.

That's just awesome.
135

137
Likewise.

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.
