I'm Judy.
4
Hello, Judy.
5
Hello, everyone.
6
I'm Jake.
7
How are you today, Judy?
8
I am very happy today.
9
Do you know why?
10
Why?
11
Because I tried a new restaurant last night.
12
The food was so good.
13
I had pasta with tomato sauce,
14
and the bread was warm and fresh.
15
Oh, that sounds amazing.
16
I love pasta.
17
And you, Jake?
18
How are you?
19
I am hungry.
20
Very, very hungry.
21
Hungry?
22
Did you eat breakfast?
23
Yes, I had toast and an egg,
24
but that was three hours ago.
25
And now you are talking about pasta and warm bread.
26
My stomach is not happy.
27
Sorry, Jake.
28
I did not mean to make you hungry.
29
Too late.
30
I can almost smell the pasta right now.
31
Well, actually, your hunger is perfect for today.
32
Perfect?
33
Why?
34
Because today, you and I are going to a restaurant.
35
Really?
36
Right now?
37
Well, not a real restaurant.
38
We are going to practice restaurant English together, right here.
39
Oh, that sounds fun.
40
So we will role play.
41
Yes, but today is different from our normal episodes.
42
Today, we are not just talking.
43
We are practicing together.
44
You and me and everyone at home.
45
Everyone at home, too?
46
Yes.
47
Today is a shadowing practice episode.
48
Shadowing.
49
I know this.
50
I listen and I repeat.
51
Exactly.
52
I will say a sentence, you repeat it.
53
And everyone at home, you repeat it too.
54
Say it out loud.
55
Use your voice.
56
So we all practice together?
57
Yes.
58
We will have a conversation at a restaurant.
59
And after every few sentences,
60
we stop, we pick the most useful sentences,
61
and we practice them together.
62
So it's like a real conversation plus a workout.
63
Yes, a speaking workout.
64
By the end of today,
65
you will have eight real sentences.
66
Eight sentences you can use in any restaurant in any English-speaking country.
67
Eight sentences.
68
That sounds great.
69
I like this idea.
70
Let's do it.
71
We will go step by step.
72
First, arriving at the restaurant,
73
then ordering food, and finally,
74
paying the bill and leaving.
75
Ready?
76
Ready.
77
Let's go eat.
78
Well, let's go practice eating.
79

89
Now let's go to the restaurant.
90
Okay.
91
Imagine we are walking into a restaurant.
92
The door opens.
93
A waiter says hello.
94
What do we say?
95
Um, hello.
96
Table for two?
97
Almost.
98
Let's make it a little more polite.
99
We say, hi, a table for two, please.
100
Hi, a table for two, please.
101
That sounds nice.
102
Good.
103
Let's practice this sentence together.
104
I will build it up, piece by piece.
105
Repeat after me.
106
Ready?
107
Ready.
108
A table.
109
A table.
110
A table for two.
111
A table for two.
112
Hi, a table for two, please.
113
Hi, a table for two, please.
114
Perfect.
115
Everyone at home, say it out loud with Jake.
116
One more time.
117
Hi, a table for two, please.
118
Hi, a table for two, please.
119
Wonderful.
120
See how easy that was?
121
Three small pieces.
122
And now you have one complete sentence.
123
You can walk into any restaurant and say this.
124
It feels very natural now.
125
Not scary at all.
126
Good.
127
Now the waiter shows us some tables,
128
but Jake, you want to sit in a special place.
129
Yes, I want to sit near the window.
130
I love looking outside when I eat.
131
Good.
132
So you say, can we sit near the window?
133
Oh, that is a nice sentence.
134
Can you say it again?
135
Of course.
136
Listen carefully.
137
Can we sit near the window?
138
Can we sit near the window?
139
Yes.
140
Very good.
141
Everyone at home, repeat.
142
Can we sit near the window?
143
I like this.
144
We walk in, we ask for a table, we choose our seat.
145
Easy.
146
And you already have two sentences.
147
Two real sentences you can use in any restaurant in any country.
148
Hi, a table for two, please.
149
And can we sit near the window?
150
Yes, and you can change the words, too.
151
If you have three people,
152
a table for three, please.
153
If you want to sit outside, can we sit outside?
154
Oh, same sentence, different words.
155
I see.
156
Very flexible.
157
Exactly.
158
Okay, the waiter takes us to a nice table by the window.
159
We sit down.
160
Let's look at the menu.
161
Okay, we are sitting at our table now.
162
The waiter gives us a menu.
163
Jake, what do you do first?
164
I look at the menu.
165
There are many things.
166
Chicken, fish, pasta, salad, soup.
167
Good.
168
But you are not sure what to order,
169
so you ask the waiter for help.
170
You say, what do you recommend?
171
Recommend?
172
What is recommend?
173
Recommend means what do you think is good?
174
What is the best choice?
175
When you ask what do you recommend,
176
you are asking for their suggestion.
177
Ah, like what is your favorite thing on the menu?
178
Exactly.
179
Let's practice this.
180
I will say it slowly first, then at normal speed.
181
You follow me both times, okay?
182
Okay.
183
Slowly.
184
What do you recommend?
185
What do you recommend?
186
Good.
187
Now, normal speed.
188
What do you recommend?
189
What do you recommend?
190
Excellent.
191
Everyone at home, try it.
192
Slowly first.
193
What do you recommend?
194
And now, normal speed.
195
What do you recommend?
196
That feels good.
197
Okay, so the waiter recommends the chicken.
198
Yes.
199
The waiter says, The chicken with rice is very popular.
200
Sounds delicious.
201
I will order that.
202
Good.
203
When you order food, you say,
204
I would like the chicken with rice, please.
205
I would like.
206
I heard this before.
207
It is very polite, right?
208
Yes.
209
I would like is polite.
210
More polite than I want.
211
In a restaurant, always use I would like.
212
Got it.
213
I would like, not I want.
214
More polite, more friendly.
215
Yes, and waiters hear this every day.
216
It is very natural.
217
Let's build this one up.
218
It is a longer sentence.
219
Ready?
220

231

232
What about drinks?
233
I'm thirsty.
234
Good question.
235
The waiter asks, anything to drink?
236
And I say...
237
You can say, can I have a glass of water, please?
238
Can I have a glass of water, please?
239
Easy.
240
Or you can say, and a coffee, please.
241
Simple.
242
Just add it.
243
I always want coffee.
244

245

What do you recommend?
248

249

254
Okay.
255
The food arrives.
256
The waiter puts the plates on the table.
257
Steam is rising from the chicken.
258

261

271

272
Everyone at home, repeat.
273
This is really delicious.
274
Feel the words.
275
Mean it.
276
I do mean it.
277
I'm imagining the chicken right now.
278
Jake, you really are hungry.
279
I told you.
280
Okay, we finish eating.
281
Everything was wonderful.
282
Now it is time to pay.
283

290

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.
