1
Hey there!
2
Tess here, your trusty adventure robot.
3
Take a look around.
4
Can you guess where we are?
5
There's lots and lots of plants and trees everywhere.
6
And it's pretty warm too.
7
Hey, check out those big ferns with huge fronds.
8
And those towering trees reaching way up high.
9
They're blocking almost all the sunlight. And listen closely.
10
Hear that?
11
This place is alive with the calls of birds and all sorts of animal noises.
12
If you guessed we're in a rainforest, you're absolutely right!
13
Today, we're exploring one of the most incredible places on Earth!
14
Rainforests are not just full of plants.
15
There's also loads of animals to be discovered.
16
Wow!
17
Check out that bird!
18
Way up in the treetops!
19
It has a huge beak.
20
It must be a toucan!
21
A toucan's beak is almost as big as its body!
22
It uses its beak to reach berries and fruits that other birds can't get to.
23
Let's keep moving.
24
Look down there.
25
See that small bright frog?
26
That's a poison dart frog.
27
It's bright colors warn other animals that it's poisonous if eaten.
28
Hmm, best to leave him be.
29
Oh, what do we have here?
30
Up in the trees, look!
31
It's a slow -moving sloth hanging upside down on a branch.
32
Did you know sloths are so slow that algae can grow on their fur?
33
It helps them blend into the trees and hide from predators.
34
How cool is that?
35
Sloths may be slow, but they're great climbers.
36
Can you move as slowly as a sloth?
37
Give it a try.
38
Okay, let's keep going slowly but surely.
39
Wow.
40
Can you hear that loud sound echoing through the forest?
41
That's a howler monkey.
42
They're the loudest animals in the rainforest and can be heard from miles away.
43
Howler monkeys use their booming calls to communicate with each other and let everyone know this is their home.
44
It's their way of saying, hey, this is where I live.
45
Now it's your turn.
46
Let's see if you can howl like a howler monkey.
47
Take a deep breath and give it your best howl.
48
And don't be shy.
49
Let's hear those wild rainforest sounds.
50
Cool!
51
Look through those trees.
52
Whoa!
53
Let's stay back for this one.
54
See that giant snake over there?
55
That's an anaconda!
56
These snakes can grow to be some of the biggest in the world, and they're powerful swimmers too.
57
Stretch out your arm and imagine it's a giant anaconda!
58
Slowly start to move it in a wave -like motion, just like how anacondas slither through water and on the forest floor.
59
Keep it steady and smooth, coiling and uncoiling as you go.
60
Hey!
61
Over here!
62
Looks like some leaves are on the move!
63
Ah, they're leafcutter ants.
64
They're super strong.
65
And even though they're really small, they can carry leaves way bigger than they are.
66
They carry the leaves.. back to their nest to help make food.
67
It's like a big ant picnic.
68
Pretty cool, right?
69
Check out those butterflies!
70
Rainforests are home to butterflies of all sizes and colors.
71
Look at them fluttering about!
72
Try linking your thumbs together and spread out your fingers.
73
Flutter your hands up and down, just like a flying butterfly.
74
Nice one.
75
Wow, that was truly amazing, wasn't it?
76
We have seen so many incredible creatures and learned some fun facts along the way.
77
From the toucans in the treetops, to the sloths hanging upside down,
78
and even the powerful anaconda slithering through the forest.
79
This rainforest is full of surprises.
80
I'll see you soon on our next adventure.
81
Who knows where we'll go next?
82
Until then, keep exploring and stay curious.
83
See you soon!

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.
