Welcome to British Accent Shadowing, where you can practice received pronunciation,
2
known as RP, intonation and the natural rhythm of spoken British English with me,
3
Ashley Howard, voice coach and accent trainer.
4
This episode launches a new series exploring Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte,
5
a masterpiece of English literature with beautifully expressive language.
6
First, I'll read the passage in full at natural speed so you can hear the flow and melody of RP English.
7
Then we'll break it down line by line so you can repeat after me, refining your pronunciation, intonation and speaking fluency.
8
Finally, we'll go through it together at full pace so you can speak along confidently.
9
You can also download a free PDF with the text and vocabulary explanations to help you follow along.

11
Let's get started.
12
There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.
13
We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning.
14
But since dinner, Mrs Reed, when there was no company, dined early, The cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre
15
and rains so penetrating that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question.
16
I was glad of it.
17
I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons.
18
Dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight with nipped fingers and toes,
19
and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority,
20
to Eliza, John, and Georgiana read.
21
The said Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mamma in the drawing-room.
22
She lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her,
23
for the time neither quarrelling nor crying, looked perfectly happy.
24
Me she had dispensed from joining the group, saying, she regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance,
25
but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation,
26
that I was endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition,
27
a more attractive and sprightly manner, something lighter, Franka, more natural, as it were.
28
She really must exclude me from privileges intended only for contented, happy little children.
29
What does Bessie say I have done?
30
I asked.
31
Jane, I don't like cavaliers or questioners.
32
Besides, there is something truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that manner.
33
Be seated somewhere, and until you can speak pleasantly, remain silent.
34
A breakfast room adjoining the drawing room.
35
I slipped in there.
36
It contained a bookcase.
37
I soon possessed myself of a volume, taking care that it should be one stored with pictures.
38
I mounted into the window seat.
39
Gathering up my feet, I sat cross-legged like a Turk, and having drawn the red Maureen curtain nearly close,
40
I was shrined in double retirement.
41
Now copy after me.
42
There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.
43
We had been wandering, indeed,

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.
