I always ask the waiter, what do you recommend?

What do we say?
404
We say, can we order please?
405

407
The waiter takes out their notepad and says, of course, what would you like?
408
And I say, I would like the grilled chicken please with a side salad.
409

421
Can I have more water?

538
You use past tense to answer.
539
It was great.
540
I went to the cinema.
541
I had dinner with my friends.

Now tell us, what do you like to do on the weekend?
545

546
We love reading your answers.
547
Okay, now let's talk about health.
548
This is a very important topic, especially when you are in an English-speaking place.
549
Yes, knowing how to talk about how you feel is very important.
550
Alice, how are you feeling today?
551
I'm feeling great today, very energetic.
552
That's wonderful.
553
But sometimes we don't feel well.
554
Sometimes we feel sick.
555
Yes, and we need to be able to say that in English.
556
So let's practice.
557
Imagine you don't feel well.
558
How would you say that?
559
I don't feel well.
560
I feel sick.
561
Good.
562
Or you can say, I'm not feeling well today.
563

564
Very natural.
565
Now what specific problems might you have?
566
Let's talk about common health problems.

597
The doctor asks, what seems to be the problem?
598
And you answer, I have a headache and a sore throat.
599
I think I have a cold.
600
What seems to be the problem?
601
This is what doctors say.
602
Let's say it again.

What seems to be the problem?
604
And you answer, I have a headache.
605
Or, I have been feeling sick for two days.
606
I have been feeling sick for two days.
607
This tells the doctor how long you have been sick.
608
How long have you been feeling this way?
609
The doctor might ask.
610
For two days, or since yesterday, or since this morning.
611
These are very useful expressions.
612
For two days, since yesterday, since Monday.
613
For, we use it with a length of time.
614
For two days, for a week.
615
Since, we use it with a specific point in time.
616
Since Monday, since last night.
617
That's a great grammar point.
618
For and since.
619
Let's say it clearly.
620
I have had a headache for two days.
621

622

635
When someone asks how are you, you can go beyond I'm fine.
636
Yes, not just I'm fine, thank you.
637
That is a little boring.
638
Try I'm feeling great today or I'm a little tired but okay.
639
I'm feeling a bit stressed but I'll be okay.
640
That's real.
641
That's natural.
642
That's how real people talk.
643
Let's talk about something fun now, hobbies.
644
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
645
Oh, I have many hobbies.

650
Usually landscapes, nature scenes, mountains, rivers, forests.
651
That sounds beautiful.
652
Are you good at painting?
653
Hmm, I think I am okay.
654
Not amazing, but I enjoy it.
655
That's what matters.
656
You do it because you love it, not because you are perfect.
657
Exactly.

I love that attitude.

662
What do you like to cook?

668
Yes, baking is like science.
669
You need exact amounts.
670
You can't just add a little bit of this and a little bit of that, like in regular That's true.
671

684
Poor neighbors.
685
I also enjoy watching documentaries.
686
I love learning about history, nature, science… Documentaries are great for learning and for improving your English, too.
687
Yes, watching English documentaries is a great way to practice listening.
688
You hear natural, clear English, real vocabulary, real pronunciation.
689
And subtitles can help too.
690
Start with English subtitles, then try without.
691
That's great advice.
692
Let's talk about different types of hobbies.

717
Let's practice something very practical now.
718
Making plans.
719
This is something we do all the time.
720
Yes.
721
Planning to meet friends or making appointments.
722
This is very common in daily life.
723
So let's have a conversation.
724
Like two friends making plans for the weekend.
725
Great.
726
I'll start.
727
Hey, David, are you free this Saturday?
728
Saturday.
729
Let me think.
730
In the morning I have something, but the afternoon should be free.
731
Why?
732
What are you thinking?
733
I was thinking we could go to that new coffee shop downtown, the one that opened last week.
734
Oh, I heard about that place.
735
It looks really nice.
736
They serve specialty coffee, right?

739
Now you're speaking my language.
740
Yes, let's go.
741
Perfect.
742
So Saturday afternoon, maybe around two o'clock?
743
Two o'clock works for me.
744
Should we walk or take the bus?
745
It's about 20 minutes on foot or 10 minutes by bus.
746
Let's walk.
747
The weather should be nice on Saturday.
748
Sounds great.
749
Let's meet at the park entrance.
750
We can walk together from there.

Perfect.
752
I'll be there at two.
753
Don't be late.

Late?
756

757
You are always five minutes late, Alice.

Maybe five minutes, but I always arrive eventually.
760
Okay, I'll be there.
761
See you Saturday.
762
See you then.
763
I'm excited.
764
Okay, so there were many useful phrases in that conversation.
765
Let's highlight them.
766
Are you free on Saturday?
767
This is how you ask if someone has time.
768
I was thinking we could go to a coffee shop.

788
These phrases are perfect for making plans in everyday English.
789
Use them.
790
Okay, now let's talk about something most people love, travel.
791
Oh yes, I love talking about travel.
792
I love traveling.
793
Do you travel often, Alice?
794
Not as often as I'd like, maybe once or twice a year, usually in summer.
795
Where is your favorite place you have ever visited?
796
That is a hard question.
797
I think Italy.
798
I visited Italy two years ago.
799
It was absolutely beautiful.
800
Italy.
801
Wow.
802
Where did you go in Italy?
803
I visited Rome and Florence.
804
Rome is so historic.
805
The Colosseum, the Vatican, the Trevi Fountain.
806
The Trevi Fountain.
807
Did you throw a coin? Of course.
808
They say if you throw a coin in the fountain, you will return to Rome.
809
And do you want to return to Rome?

811
So yes, I threw the coin.
812
That's wonderful.
813
What about Florence?

827
And David, where have you traveled?
828
Tell me about a place you loved.
829
I traveled to Japan a few years ago.
830
Tokyo.
831
I was completely amazed.
832
Japan?
833
What was it like?
834
So different from Europe.
835
The culture, the people, the food, the technology.
836
Everything was fascinating.
837
What did you enjoy most?
838
The food.
839
I know, food again.
840
But Japanese food is incredible.
841
Sushi, ramen, tempura.
842
We are both very food-focused travelers.
843
Food is an important part of traveling.
844
You experience the culture through the food.
845
That is so true.
846
Food tells you a lot about a country's history and culture.
847
Exactly.
848
And the people in Japan were so kind and polite.
849
Very welcoming.
850
That's something you hear a lot about Japan.
851
Very respectful culture.
852
Yes.
853
I want to go back.
854
Like Alice in Rome, I also want to return.
855
We are both planning return trips.
856
Okay.
857
Let's look at some travel vocabulary.
858
Great.

868
When your body clock is confused because you travel to a very different time zone.
869
Jet lag is real and it is not fun.
870
Not fun at all.
871
You feel tired at strange times.
872
Okay, let's practice some travel phrases.
873
I went to Italy last year.

883
Perfect phrases for your next trip.
884
And now, let me ask you, where do you dream of traveling?
885
Write in the comments your dream destination.
886
Okay, this part is very special.
887
We want to talk to you directly, to you, the listener.
888
Yes, let's talk about learning English, because that's why you are here.
889
And we appreciate that so much.
890
You are here, listening, practicing.
891
That takes effort.
892
That takes commitment.
893
And you should be proud of yourself.
894
Seriously.
895
Learning a new language is not easy.
896
It takes time.
897
It takes patience.
898
It takes practice.
899
But you are doing it.
900
Every day.
901
And every day, you are getting better.
902
Even if you don't feel it.
903
Even when you feel like you are not improving, you are.
904
Let me ask you, David.
905
When you think about language learning, what do you think is the most important thing?
906
Consistency.
907
That is the most important thing.
908
Consistency.
909
Can you explain that?
910
Consistency means doing something regularly, every day or almost every day, even for a short time.
911
So 15 minutes every day is better than 3 hours on Sunday?
912
Exactly.
913
15 minutes every day.
914
Every single day.
915
That is consistency.
916
And consistency creates progress.
917
I agree.
918
And for me, I think the most important thing is to not be afraid of making mistakes.
919
Oh yes, this is so important.
920
Many learners are afraid to speak because they think, what if I make a mistake?
921
What if my grammar is wrong?
922
But mistakes are how you learn.
923
When you make a mistake and you correct it, you remember it better.
924
Absolutely.
925
The people who improve the fastest are not the people who never make mistakes.
926
They are the people who are not afraid to make mistakes.
927
They speak, they try, they fail sometimes, and they keep going.
928
And that is how you get better.
929
So please, speak, even when you are not sure, even when your grammar feels shaky.
930
Shaky means not very confident, not very stable.
931
Even when your English feels shaky, speak anyway.
932
Let's talk about some good ways to practice English every day.
933
Great idea.
934
First, listen to English every day.
935
Podcasts, videos, songs, radio.
936
Like this video.
937
You are already doing this.
938
Well done.
939
Yes, gold star for you.
940
Second, speak English.
941
Even to yourself.
942
Yes, talk to yourself.
943
Talking to yourself in English is great practice.
944
You can do it in the shower, while you cook, while you drive.
945
Narrate your day.
946
Now I am making coffee.
947
I am adding sugar.
948
It smells delicious.
949
It sounds a little crazy, but it really works.
950
It really works.
951
Third, read English.
952
Simple texts, news, books, anything.
953
Start with easy texts.
954
Children's books are great for beginners.
955
They use simple vocabulary.
956
And fourth, write English.
957
Keep a simple diary.
958
Write five sentences about your day.
959
Today I went to work.
960
I had coffee in the morning.
961
I felt tired but happy.
962
The weather was sunny.
963
Five sentences.
964
Very simple, but very good practice.
965
And the key is, do it consistently, every day.
966
Okay, let's look at some motivational phrases for English learners.
967
Practice makes perfect.
968
Every day is a chance to improve.
969
Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
970
Small steps lead to big progress.
971
You are doing great.
972
Keep going.
973
You are doing great.
974
Keep going.
975
Remember these phrases.
976
They are not just English practice.
977
They are encouragement.
978
You deserve to improve.
979
And you will.
980
Okay, now let's put everything together.
981
Let me tell you about a typical day in my life.
982
A full story.
983
And you listen carefully.
984
I love this part.
985
A real story is the best way to practice listening.
986
So I will tell the story, and Alice will ask me questions, just like a real conversation.
987
Ready when you are.
988
Okay, so yesterday was a pretty typical Tuesday for me.
989
My alarm went off at 7 in the morning.
990
I pressed snooze once.
991
Just once.
992
Just once, I believe you.
993
Okay, maybe twice.
994
Then I got up, I went to the bathroom, washed my face, and brushed my teeth.
995
Then I took a quick shower, maybe eight minutes.
996
And after the shower?
997
I got dressed.
998
I wore black trousers and a blue shirt.
999
For work, I dress smart but comfortable.
1000
Smart means looking professional, not too casual.
1001
Right.
1002
Smart but comfortable.
1003
Then I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
1004
I made two eggs scrambled with toast and butter.
1005
And of course coffee.
1006
Of course the coffee.
1007
Always.
1008
I had my breakfast and checked my phone.
1009
Some emails, some messages, nothing urgent.
1010
Urgent means important and needing fast attention.
1011
Yes, nothing that needed immediate attention.
1012
So I relaxed a little.
1013
What time did you leave the house?
1014
I left at 8.30.
1015
I take the bus to work.
1016
The bus ride takes about 20 minutes.
1017
Do you listen to anything on the bus?
1018
Yes, I listen to a podcast on the bus.
1019
An English podcast, actually.
1020
Great practice.
1021
Just like this video.
1022
Exactly.
1023
Okay, so I arrived at the office at 5 to 9, just before 9.
1024
I said good morning to my colleagues, made myself another coffee.
1025
Another coffee?
1026
That's two coffees and it's not even 9.
1027
I need it.
1028
Then I started working.
1029
I had a meeting at 10 o'clock a one-hour meeting with my team.
1030
Was the meeting interesting?
1031
Mmm, meetings are meetings.
1032
Sometimes interesting, sometimes long.
1033
I understand completely.
1034
After the meeting, I worked on a report until lunch.
1035
At one o'clock, I went to the small cafe near my office for lunch.
1036
What did you have for lunch?
1037
A chicken sandwich and a salad and a sparkling water.
1038
Nice, a healthy lunch.
1039
I try.
1040
After lunch, I worked until five o'clock.
1041
Then I packed up my things and went home.
1042
What did you do in the evening?
1043
In the evening, I cooked dinner.
1044
I made pasta with tomato sauce.
1045
Very simple, but delicious.
1046
Pasta is always a good choice.
1047
Always.
1048
Then I watched an episode of a series on TV.
1049
And by 10.30, I was in bed.
1050
10.30?
1051
You go to bed early.
1052
I try to sleep eight hours.
1053
Sleep is very important.
1054
Sleep is so important for your health, your mood, your brain.
1055
Absolutely.
1056
And that was my day.
1057
A simple, ordinary, but good day.
1058
I love that.
1059
An ordinary day.
1060
But in English, that's a lot of vocabulary.
1061
Yes, the vocabulary of everyday life is so important.
1062
And now you have heard it in a natural story.
1063
Let me ask you, the listener, what does your typical day look like?
1064
Can you describe it in English?
1065
Try it.
1066
Think about your day, from morning to evening, and describe it to yourself in English.
1067
Even one or two sentences is great practice.
1068
I woke up at 7, I had coffee, I went to work.
1069
Simple and beautiful.
1070
Okay, we are near the end of our video, but before we finish, let's talk about something very important.
1071
Phrasal verbs!
1072
Yes, phrasal verbs.
1073
These are verbs with two or three words.
1074
They are very common in everyday English.
1075
But they can be confusing for learners, because the meaning is often different from the individual words.
1076
Exactly!
1077
So let's look at some very common phrasal verbs that you will hear in daily life.
1078
The first one is wake up.
1079
Wake up to stop sleeping, to open your eyes in the morning.
1080
I wake up at 7 every day.
1081
Wake up, it's time for school.
1082
The next one is get up.
1083
Get up.
1084
This means to physically rise from your bed, to stand up.
1085
I wake up at 7, but I don't get up until 7.15.
1086
You stay in bed for 15 minutes after waking up? Of course.
1087
The next one is turn on and turn off.
1088
Turn on to start a machine or light.
1089
Turn off to stop it.
1090
I turn on the TV in the evening.
1091
I turn off the lights before I sleep.
1092
Turn on, turn off.
1093
Very simple and very common.
1094
Next, put on and take off.
1095
Put on to wear something.
1096
Take off to remove something.
1097
I put on my coat before I leave the house.
1098
I take off my shoes when I get home.
1099
Put on, take off.
1100
Great for talking about clothes.
1101
Next, look for.
1102
Look for.
1103
To search for something.
1104
To try to find something.
1105
I'm looking for my keys.
1106
Have you seen them?
1107
I am always looking for my keys.
1108
Everyone is always looking for their keys.
1109
Next, find out.
1110
Find out.
1111
To discover information.
1112
To learn something you didn't know before.
1113
I found out that the restaurant was closed today.
1114
I need to find out what time the movie starts.
1115
Find out.
1116
To discover new information.
1117
Next, run out of.
1118
Run out of.
1119
When you have nothing left of something.
1120
We ran out of milk.
1121
We need to buy more.
1122
I ran out of coffee this morning.
1123
It was a disaster.
1124
No coffee?
1125
That is a disaster.
1126
The worst kind of morning problem.
1127
And the last one, give up.
1128
Give up.
1129
To stop trying. To quit.
1130
But we say this as an important message.
1131
Don't give up on your English learning.
1132
Never give up.
1133
Even when it is hard.
1134
Even when you feel frustrated.
1135
Every person who is fluent in English today was once a beginner.
1136
They made mistakes, they had bad days, but they didn't give up.
1137
And neither should you.
1138
Let's repeat all the phrasal verbs one more time, slowly and clearly.
1139
Wake up.
1140
Get up.
1141
Turn on, turn off.
1142
Put on, take off.
1143
Look for.
1144
Find out.
1145
Run out of.
1146
Give up, but only in sports and games, not in your English learning.
1147
Exactly.
1148
Okay, everyone, we have come to the end of today's video.
1149
Can you believe how much we covered today?
1150
We talked about morning routines, the supermarket, work, restaurants, weekends.
1151
Health, hobbies, making plans, travel, learning English, a day in the life.
1152
And phrasal verbs. So much.
1153
And all in natural, everyday English.
1154
If you listened to this whole video, congratulations.
1155
Seriously, that is a big achievement.
1156
Your listening skills just got better, and your vocabulary just expanded.
1157
Even if you didn't understand every single word, that's okay.
1158
Keep listening.
1159
Keep practicing.
1160
Each time you listen to English, your brain is getting stronger.
1161
Think of it like exercise for your brain.
1162
Every video, every podcast, every English sentence you hear, that is a workout.
1163
I love that.
1164
English is a brain workout.
1165
And you are getting stronger every day.
1166
Now, before we say goodbye, we have a question for you.
1167
A comment challenge.
1168
Yes!
1169

1170
Just one sentence, in English.
1171
Tell us something you do every day.
1172
For example, every morning I drink tea and listen to English podcasts.
1173

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.
