Let's get into the lesson!
Passons à la leçon !
6
This is friendly John.
C'est John le sympathique.
7
John can talk to anyone, everyone loves having him around.
John peut parler à n'importe qui, tout le monde adore l'avoir à ses côtés.
8
And he's always the first person invited to a party because he's so friendly.
Et c'est toujours la première personne invitée aux fêtes parce qu'il est tellement sympathique.
9
But what other words can we use to describe him?
Mais quels autres mots pouvons-nous utiliser pour le décrire ?
10
Drop an adjective down in the comments, an adjective that you would use instead of friendly.
Laissez un adjectif dans les commentaires, un adjectif que vous utiliseriez à la place de « amical ».
11
I would say that John is quite charming.
Je dirais que John est assez charmant.
12
Charming. Pay attention to that CH sound at the beginning of the word.
Charmant. Faites attention à ce son CH au début du mot.
13
Charming. It's that big open mouth vowel, charming.
Charmant. C'est cette voyelle à grande bouche ouverte, charmant.
14
Charming people can talk to anyone and their conversations are fun and interesting, it's so easy to talk to charming people.
Les personnes charmantes peuvent parler à n'importe qui, leurs conversations sont amusantes et intéressantes, et il est très facile d'échanger avec elles.
15
It's so easy to talk to John. He's charming.
C'est tellement facile de parler à John. Il est charmant.
16
The structure that we're using here is really simple.
La structure que nous utilisons ici est vraiment simple.
17
Subject, linking verb and adjective.
Sujet, verbe de liaison et adjectif.
18
He is charming.
Il est charmant.
19
But you can also say that John is a charming guy or a charming person.
Mais vous pouvez aussi dire que John est un type charmant ou une personne charmante.
20
If he's so friendly and he's so charming then he's probably quite sociable.
S'il est si amical et si charmant, alors il est probablement assez sociable.
21
Hear the stressed syllable there?
Vous entendez la syllabe accentuée, là ?
22
Sociable. Sociable people love being around other people.
Sociable. Les personnes sociables aiment être entourées d’autres personnes.
23
They usually seek them out and they seem to thrive in conversations.
Ils les recherchent généralement et ils semblent s'épanouir dans les conversations.
24
John loves going to all the events and all the parties.
John adore aller à tous les événements et à toutes les fêtes.
25
He is sociable.
Il est sociable.
26
For natural pronunciation practice, let's use the contraction here and say he's sociable.
Pour s'entraîner à la prononciation naturelle, utilisons la contraction ici et disons qu'il est sociable.
27
Now because the two consonants are the same, the same sound, they merge together.
Maintenant, parce que les deux consonnes sont identiques, qu'elles correspondent au même son, elles fusionnent.
28
He is sociable becomes he's sociable.
Il est sociable devient il est sociable.
29
He's sociable.
Il est sociable.
30
And lastly, friendly people like John can be described as welcoming.
Et enfin, des personnes aimables comme John peuvent être décrites comme accueillantes.
31
Now for those of you who struggle with this sound really focus on that sound.
Maintenant, pour ceux d'entre vous qui ont du mal avec ce son, concentrez-vous vraiment sur ce son.
32
No teeth involved, no teeth touching. It's not but If you need to, get a little bit of air from deep down in your stomach and push that out to make the sound.
Aucune dent n'est impliquée, les dents ne se touchent pas. Ce n'est pas le cas, mais si vous le devez, prenez un peu d'air du fond de l'estomac et expulsez-le pour produire le son.
33
Welcoming. Someone who's welcoming is going to make you feel like you belong there the moment you walk into the room.
Accueillant. Une personne accueillante vous fera sentir que vous avez votre place dès que vous entrez dans la pièce.
34
They make you feel accepted and happy.
Ils vous font sentir accepté et heureux.
35
He's so welcoming. The minute we walked into the room he came over to give us a big hug and a huge smile.
Il est tellement accueillant. Dès que nous sommes entrés dans la pièce, il est venu nous faire un gros câlin avec un grand sourire.
36
Meet Sally.
Rencontrez Sally.
37
She's fun. Sally is the first one to get up to dance when the music plays.
Elle est amusante. Sally est toujours la première à se lever pour danser quand la musique commence.
38
She loves travelling and going to different cafes and restaurants and if you're having a bad day, she'll usually have a joke or two up her sleeve to cheer you up.
Elle adore voyager et aller dans différents cafés et restaurants, et si vous passez une mauvaise journée, elle a généralement une ou deux blagues en tête pour vous remonter le moral.
39
There are some great adjectives that you can use to describe people like Sally.
Il existe de très bons adjectifs que vous pouvez utiliser pour décrire des personnes comme Sally.
40
If you can think of any, let me know down in the comments below.
Si vous en avez en tête, n'hésitez pas à me le dire dans les commentaires ci-dessous.
41
But my first one is chirpy.
Mais mon premier est enjoué.
42
And there's that CH sound again.
Et voilà que ce son CH revient encore.
43
Chirpy. Notice specifically that that vowel sound in the stressed syllable is not a short sound it's ER as in her.
Chirpy. Notez bien que le son de la voyelle dans la syllabe accentuée n'est pas un son court : c'est le son ER comme dans her.
44
Chirpy not chippy or chirpy.
Enjoué, pas grincheux ni enjoué.
45
Chirpy. Try it.
Chirpy. Essaie.
46
If someone's chirpy, they're really happy, they're lively, they're excited about the day ahead.
Si quelqu'un est enjoué, c'est qu'il est vraiment heureux, dynamique et enthousiaste à l'idée de la journée qui l'attend.
47
She looked so chirpy when she arrived at the office today!
Elle avait l'air tellement enjouée quand elle est arrivée au bureau aujourd'hui !
48
Now I'm using the verb looked here but it doesn't mean that it was the colour of her hair or clothes or her facial features that made her look chirpy.
Maintenant, j'utilise le verbe « avait l'air » ici, mais cela ne signifie pas que c'était la couleur de ses cheveux, de ses vêtements ou ses traits du visage qui la rendaient l'air enjouée.
49
It just means that she's showing the qualities of someone who is happy and lively and that it comes across in this way.
Cela signifie simplement qu'elle démontre les qualités d'une personne heureuse et dynamique, et que cela se perçoit de cette manière.
50
And we often use verbs like this when we don't know for sure about that personality. You can tell what they're like by little small things, the things that they do and the way that they act.
Et nous utilisons souvent des verbes de ce type quand nous ne sommes pas tout à fait sûrs de cette personnalité. On peut deviner ce qu'ils sont par de petits détails, les choses qu'ils font et la manière dont ils agissent.
51
Another really great adjective to describe someone who's fun is to say that they're adventurous.
Un autre adjectif vraiment génial pour décrire quelqu'un qui est amusant, c'est de dire qu'il est aventureux.
52
Listen to that stressed syllable, adventurous.
Écoute cette syllabe accentuée, aventureux.
53
So adventurous people are the ones who are always willing to try new and different things which makes life exciting and fun.
Les personnes aventureuses sont celles qui sont toujours prêtes à essayer des choses nouvelles et différentes, ce qui rend la vie passionnante et amusante.
54
We always have a good time when Sally organises our trips because she's quite adventurous.
Nous passons toujours un excellent séjour quand Sally organise nos voyages, car elle est très aventureuse.
55
We do things that we wouldn't normally do.
Nous faisons des choses que nous ne ferions pas normalement.
56
The last adjective that I've chosen to describe someone who is fun is witty.
Le dernier adjectif que j'ai choisi pour décrire quelqu'un qui est amusant est « spirituel ».
57
Now I wonder if you've heard this adjective before.
Maintenant, je me demande si vous avez déjà entendu cet adjectif.
58
Witty. I'm sure you know someone who's quite witty, who is quick-witted. They're the people who are really quick to respond and they're really funny when they speak just instantly, they have great humorous calls.
Esprit vif. Je suis sûr que vous connaissez quelqu'un qui est très spirituel, qui a l'esprit vif. Ce sont les personnes qui réagissent très vite et qui sont vraiment drôles quand elles parlent instantanément, elles ont de superbes répliques humoristiques.
59
Sometimes we call it banter when you can have a really great conversation back and forth with someone.
Parfois, on appelle ça de la taquinerie amicale quand on peut avoir une conversation vraiment agréable et fluide avec quelqu'un.
60
They're smart, they make you laugh, they're entertaining, you know they're really fun to talk to.
Ils sont intelligents, ils vous font rire, ils sont divertissants, et vous savez qu'ils sont vraiment agréables à côtoyer.
61
Oh Sally? I love chatting with Sally.
Oh, Sally ? J’adore discuter avec Sally.
62
She's so witty and entertaining.
Elle est tellement spirituelle et divertissante.
63
Meet kind Ella.
Rencontrez la gentille Ella.
64
If you don't understand how something works, she'll happily take the time to explain it to you.
Si vous ne comprenez pas comment quelque chose fonctionne, elle prendra volontiers le temps de vous l'expliquer.
65
She'll share her lunch with you, she'll help you out with some extra cash if you need it. If you know someone like Ella, you can definitely say that this person is kind but another way to describe her is generous.
Elle partagera son déjeuner avec vous, elle vous aidera avec un peu d'argent supplémentaire si vous en avez besoin. Si vous connaissez quelqu'un comme Ella, vous pouvez assurément dire que cette personne est gentille, mais une autre façon de la décrire est de dire qu'elle est généreuse.
66
Let's break that down a little.
Décomposons cela un peu.
67
That sound is the same consonant sound as at the start of jam or jump.
Ce son est le même son de consonne que celui au début des mots jam ou jump.
68
Generous. Where's the stress? Which syllable has the stress?
Généreux. Où est l'accent ? Quelle syllabe porte l'accent ?
69
Generous. Much stronger on the first syllable, right?
Généreux. L'accent est beaucoup plus marqué sur la première syllabe, n'est-ce pas ?
70
Generous people are usually happy to share their time or their energy or their money with you because they're quite giving.
Les personnes généreuses sont généralement heureuses de partager leur temps, leur énergie ou leur argent avec vous, car elles sont très disposées à donner.
71
Ella seems like a really generous person.
Ella a l'air d'être une personne vraiment généreuse.
72
She often brings biscuits and cakes into the office to share with everyone.
Elle apporte souvent des biscuits et des gâteaux au bureau pour les partager avec tout le monde.
73
Now I'm using a different verb there, aren't I?
Maintenant, j'utilise un verbe différent là, n'est-ce pas ?
74
Seems, is, looks and seems are all linking verbs so they're words that give more information about the subject and in this context, seem has a really similar meaning to look.
« Sembler », « être », « paraître » et « sembler » sont tous des verbes d'état, ce sont donc des mots qui donnent des informations supplémentaires sur le sujet, et dans ce contexte, « sembler » a un sens très proche de « paraître ».
75
We're taking a guess or we're assuming something about the person because of the behaviour that we observe in them.
76
We're saying that the person has said or has done some things that make us feel like they are a certain way. It feels like they're that person, they seem like a generous person.
77
Another great adjective is considerate.
78
Where's the stress there?
79
And importantly, where is there not stress?
80
Considerate.
81
It's a short vowel sound but the other ones drop back, we hear that schwa sound coming in again.
82
Considerate.
83
Considerate people show concern for others, they think about how a situation or something might affect someone else.
84
Ella seems considerate.
85
She often offers to drop her colleagues home from work when it's raining.
86
Thoughtful is our last adjective here.
87
Listen to that vowel sound in the stressed syllable thoughtful like in door.
88
Thoughtful.
89
Thoughtful people are always thinking about others around them, they're paying attention to them, they're thinking about what they might need or what they might want.
90
Ella organised a party on my last day in the office.
91
She is so thoughtful.
92
This is Ray.
93
He's really understanding. When there's a disagreement between people, Ray is the person who can see both sides.
94
He's the colleague or the manager who will give you a break if you've had a rough day.
95
You could definitely describe him as compassionate.
96
Listen again for that stress, compassionate.
97
And importantly, where there is less stress where you see those schwa sounds.
98
Compassionate.
99
Compassionate is similar to considerate where you're really thinking about the people around you and you're doing things to show them that you care or in Ray's case, that you understand their situation. There's a warmth and there's comfort that comes with being near to or surrounded by compassionate people.
100
She had no chance of getting the job but Ray spent a long time explaining to her why she didn't get the job. He's incredibly compassionate.
101
Just like the word really, using the adverb incredibly before an adjective is gonna really lift your description up.
102
It's gonna emphasise that meaning of the adjective.
103
He's incredibly compassionate.
104
Here's a great one.
105
Empathetic.
106
Nice one. Now I can hear you wondering, questioning in your head.
107
Pathetic is a negative adjective right but empathetic is a positive one. Empathetic people they understand how someone else feels because they can imagine themselves in that same situation.
108
They can put themselves in someone else's shoes, you know that idiom right?
109
To put yourself in someone else's shoes. It's the perfect idiom for the adjective empathetic.
110
Ray is a great person to talk to when you're going through a rough time. He's so empathetic.
111
We're getting a little more serious here.
112
We have diplomatic.
113
Diplomatic.
114
Where's that stress?
115
Diplomatic.
116
People who are diplomatic can deal with others in a really sensitive way, in a way that doesn't upset them.
117
Ray managed to create a peaceful resolution for both sides.
118
He's really diplomatic.
119
And again, I've just thrown an adverb in there to modify that adjective, it's a really great way to emphasise the meaning of the adjective.
120
He's really diplomatic.
121
He's incredibly compassionate.
122
This is Mia.
123
She's smart, she's the person you go to when you've got a problem that you need help solving.
124
She's always wanting to learn more.
125
She has lots of different ideas and goals and she's good at making decisions.
126
Can you think of any other adjectives to describe Mia?
127
Mia is astute.
128
Astute. So that second syllable is the one that's stressed and in there we can hear a little sound that's been added.
129
Can you hear it?
130
Astute. That's in my accent and in most British English accents but you will hear some American accents pronouncing this word as astute.
131
Now what is astute? What's an astute person?
132
They're really good at judging situations and people quite quickly and they use their knowledge to benefit them in some way.
133
If you know anyone who invested in Bitcoin early on, they're astute. They were paying attention and making good decisions early on.
134
She's also ambitious.
135
Notice that t-i-o-u-s at the end is pronounced Ambitious.
136
That middle syllable is the stressed one.
137
Ambitious people are really determined to succeed.
138
They're driven to reach their goals.
139
Mia's actually determined to be CEO of the company.
140
She's a really ambitious woman.
141
Here's another great adjective.
142
Resourceful.
143
Notice that Z sound?
144
Resourceful not resource-ful but resourceful Resourceful.
145
Resourceful people are able to use whatever they have at the time to solve problems or to reach their goals so clever people, smart people are often quite resourceful and as we know, Mia is quite a resourceful person.
146
The projector wasn't working during her presentation so she printed out copies quickly and gave them to everyone.
147
She's very resourceful.
148
She solves problems quickly.
149
This structure, one that we mentioned earlier actually, Mia is a resourceful person, is slightly more formal.
150
It's still really frequently used, it sounds natural but it's probably a little bit more professional than just saying she's resourceful.
151
Mia's resourceful.
152
She's quite a resourceful person.
153
Just a little bit more professional.
154
And this is Sam. He's hard working.
155
He completes his tasks on time, he produces high-quality work.
156
He stays late when he needs to and he takes charge of projects to make sure that they get done, he puts all of his effort into his work.
157
Now there are some really great adjectives to describe someone like Sam. We would say he's quite organised.
158
Listening for the stress.
159
Organised. Now think of someone in your life who is quite organised.
160
These people make lists, they keep a diary of all of their deadlines.
161
They're always on time, everything is neatly arranged and in order.
162
He looks like an organised person, all of his files are colour-coded.
163
So again, this structure is a little longer, it's just as effective and has the same meaning as she looks organised. It's just a little more formal right?
164
He looks like an organised man.
165
He looks like an organised person.
166
Hard-working people are often quite reliable.
167
Hear that little short tiny little schwa sound in there?
168
Reliable. No matter what happens, you can always rely on someone who is reliable, you can count on them, you can depend on them.
169
They'll always make sure that they are there when they need to be, that they do what they need to do.
170
So if you have a really urgent project to finish then you definitely want someone reliable, someone like Sam.
171
Sam looks like a reliable person.
172
And one of my absolute favourite qualities in my team, efficient people.
173
Efficient. So that C actually makes a SH sound like ship.
174
Efficient. You hear that short vowel sound unstressed in the first syllable.
175
Efficient. And you hear that schwa sound in the third syllable.
176
When you're efficient, you complete your tasks on time, you complete your projects quickly and accurately.
177
Sam looks like he's quite efficient, he always finishes his work ahead of time.
178
Wow, nice work! You just up-levelled your vocabulary.
179

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.
