Hello, it's Keith once again from the Keith Speaking Academy, here to help you become a much more confident speaker of English.

Now then, do you sometimes listen to a native speaker and think, what did he say?
8
And then maybe you check the transcript and you go, he didn't say that.

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.
