88
your name, where you live, and what you do.
89
Like, "Hey, I'm Sarah." I live in New York and I work as a graphic designer.
90
There you go, easy.
91
Try practicing sentences like this daily.
92
Step two, Body language matters smile, make eye contact, stand up straight, You don't need to look like a superhero, just look welcoming.
93

Stay professional.
104
I have five years of experience in marketing and specialize in growing businesses.
105
Clear and confident, same person, different settings, different introductions,

You don't have to be perfect.
117
Just clear and natural.
118
Speak at a steady pace, don't rush, and avoid overthinking.
119
A small pause is fine, Better than filling the space with "uh" and "um" And remember, People aren't judging you as harshly as you think.
120
The more you practice, the more natural it will feel.
121
Final tip.
122

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.
