10
rich habitat for an abundance of creatures including up to 20 species of fish crabs
11
and seahorses and amazing plants such as sea tulips with bright red bodies we realized that
12

establish whether these artificial reefs have in fact helped to increase the volume of fish in the harbour.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
