Puis lier les segments et dire la phrase en entier.
Ce travail solitaire doit finir par déboucher sur un travail collectif, surtout en vue d'atteindre l'excellence. Vous aurez besoin d'un expert pour évoluer, une personne qui pourra vous corriger et vous guider. 
You need to experience the whole process. You have to become a mimic trying to use the twisters as a musicien would use the practice of the scales.
