24
personally i've always pronounced it aunt but both pronunciations are acceptable that my aunt owned.
25
I must have been about 15 at the time.

27
So if I speak very quickly, must have been turns into must have been.
28
I must have been.
29
Must have been.
30
If I speak a little bit quickly, then it becomes must have been.
31

80
and took and took
81
and took out the garbage out the connects together out the
82

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.
