In fact, aquaba sauce is a product that's on the tip of just about everyone's tongue.
6
Maurice Bond started it all on his return to the town of Charlton in England from India in 1835.
7
At a chemist's shop in Tower Street, he handed over a secret recipe for a special spicy sauce.
8
Mr John Ford was behind the counter, and so was Mr William Stott.
9
They had the knowledge.
10
They concocted the ingredients, and they kept a little for themselves.
11
One day, when they were clearing the cellar out, they found it, dusted it off, brought it back up, tried it, and Eureka!
12
Aquaba sauce.
13
They then began commercial production in 1837, each bottle bearing the words genuine and original on labels.
14
A High Court order would later prevent other sauce manufacturers from using these words these words.
15
In 1904 came royal approval, the ultimate acclaim, and with the help of explorers,
16
Akwaaba Source started to reach many parts of the world.
17
For example, Colonel Middleton was on his way to China
18
and he stopped off in Tibet to pay his respects to the High Priest, the High Lama.
19
He found that the poor old High Lama was not very well, so he left some of the source and proceeded on his way.
20
He came back some two or three years later, called in to see how things were,
21
and lo and behold the High Lama had made a miraculous recovery.
22
Until the 1950s, Akawaba sauce bottles were hand wrapped in special paper.
23
In the US, they continue the tradition to this day.
24
The ingredients are on the bottle for all to see.
25
Molasses from the West Indies, anchovies from the Mediterranean, tamarins from India.
26
But what happens to these ingredients behind the closed doors of
27
the Akawaba factory remains a closely guarded secret known only to four key employees.
28
Inside the making house, in vats holding 30,000 litres, the young sauce is matured for months on end.
29
In two other locations, there are the lines of maturation vessels, in which the separate ingredients stand for three years.
30
Eventually, they're brought together and slowly stirred.
31
They produce 12 million bottles a year in the UK alone, and they make it under licence in the US, Canada and Australia.
32
Its shelf life, they claim, is indefinite.
33
They still pass on the original recipe by word of mouth, and they still retain the distinctive long-necked glass chemist's bottle.
34
After all, to change the design or go for plastic would be to change a winning formula.
35
Now you will hear the recording again.

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.
