Pratique du Shadowing: I CANCELED MY KOENIGSEGG JESKO! - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
Well, the title's true.
2
I did cancel my Jesco order, but only to replace it with something that Quintusek came out, which is much better.
3
And Christian Quintusek was kind enough
4
and gracious enough to allow me to be one of the 30 owners of this exclusive masterpiece he's building.
5
The Seder Spears, 1625 horsepower, much bigger aero, and in my opinion, a lot more sexier.
6
For the longest time, I was going back
7
and forth between the absolute for like top speed
8
and the Jesko attack for the track and then
9
when I saw the Seder Spears at the Goodwood I'm like there's no option I gotta have it Actually,
10
no, it's Javier Castan this time.
11
But it's going to be close, but he's...
12
That's quick.
13
That goes up to the very top of the times.
14
47.14, so that has gone fastest now.
15
So in this configurator today, we're going to do two options of two different specs.
16
And then down below, you guys let me know what you guys think
17
or what color would you pick for your Slater Spears.
18
They don't make a configurator for Slater Spears.
19
It's 30 units, super exclusive limited.
20
So we're going to use the Jesco as an example.
21
and right off the bat, my top color was cherry red, which is called chill red in Koinisek color sample.
22
And this thing just looks incredible.
23
I like how it pops and I'm sure it will definitely stick out out of the collection.
24
I've never done anything wild when it comes to colors.
25
I've done either white or exposed carbon exterior and I think it's time to do something different.
26
This is really cool.
27
I love the configure because it takes you a total 360 on the car, even shows you the interior and as you're sitting on the track.
28
And what's really cool about it, you can actually go up on the control panel here and open the doors.
29
Wow, look at that.
30
Amazing.
31
It even allows you to remove the top.
32
Look at that.
33
Honestly, this is the best configurator I've seen with any automaker.
34
This is incredible.
35
Look at that.
36
And there's so many options.
37
So I opted for chill red, well, not yet, this example and then on the interior haven't done the interior yet
38
but let's finish the exterior first as you guys can see there's
39
so many options on the exterior you got obviously your exterior
40
color then you got center stripe a stripe position a stripe color fin position
41
and then carbon areas you can kind of paint them
42
or leave them exposed your options are very vast
43
which is going to add to the price the more options the more cost
44
so on this one here pen stripe i don't think we want to do let's see
45
so this is white and if I do obviously drag or red it's not gonna match
46
but let's just use the white for now there we go
47
and then a strike position I don't know on this one here on the front apex let's see what does
48
that look like so right now there's no color on there we can go ahead see
49
if it allows me to add one all right
50
so it comes in silver I think
51
if you're doing the center stripe you got to go all the way in
52
and do the front fan let's leave
53
that in there I like it on the sides let's close the doors so we can have a better view
54
and I'm gonna put the roof back on.
55
There we go.
56
Now you can see the full center stripe.
57
Now let's take a look at the sides.
58
There we go.
59
Aha, so this is the sides.
60
Definitely think it's a must.
61
Wow, that looks cool.
62
Now it completes the picture.
63
And then on the wing, let's see what else do we have.
64
I think that's it.
65
So this is one option to have the center stripe all the way from rear, all the way to the front.
66
Turn this around.
67
There we go.
68
What do you think?
69
I love this.
70
This is really cool, very racy.
71
So what you're making right now, that was the first thought when you saw the car.
72
Yeah, my first thought was cherry red or yellow.
73
Those are the two colors I'm opting for.
74
And I really like this red.
75
It just really pops, you know, with the carbon and the racing white stripe.
76
And I wanna see what is the fin position.
77
I think we got too many colors.
78
I don't know
79
if, what do you guys think? white on the fence you can see on the rear wing here
80
or just blend it in with red I'm kind of opting for red we got too much white going on
81
and then on the carbon area I'm thinking I'm going to leave the mirror as painted
82
because it does match the tip of the wing
83
and let's take a look on this side what are they
84
talking about here uh-huh yeah I think I'm just going to leave the rear intakes
85
as carbon or not probably not i think it looks cleaner
86
that way this way you only have carbon on the wing area
87
and the rear diffuser and the front diffuser and the side skirts i like it
88
i don't know reminds me of like a ford gt racing just very racing have you talked to the team
89
and have they told you that there's other options to the car
90
that are different from the jesco the normal jesco well you
91
know the design a specification on this obviously doesn't have the
92
gear shifter this one doesn't come with it it's just a paddle
93
and aside from that 25 more horsepower
94
but in terms of options really every option you have on
95
Jesco you can have it on say there's spears all the
96
colors interior exterior I don't think there is anything they can't do
97
that could do on a Jesco
98
that they can't do on say their spears as far as
99
I'm told let me see I think on the exterior we're
100
done you know we did the wheels I did carbon fiber wheels versus stock
101
which I I don't know who would pick stock on this car.
102
It just looks like mismatch, complete mismatch, but the carbon wheels are just, fits the picture perfectly.
103
And calibers, you know, we can go with only two colors.
104
They could do a custom bespoke.
105
For bespoke, definitely is gonna be a different type of spec.
106
You can do it on configurator.
107
You gotta send in paint samples, and it's gonna be off the grid.
108
And talk about paint samples.
109
They sent me a few, originally I was thinking about doing, You know, something more gold, pearl white, champagne, and this is off-white.
110
But I just think we need something more wild something
111
that pops more
112
so that's why i thought about you know going with the cherry red as my first option
113
and then we're gonna dive into the interior
114
because i think interior is just as exciting because it's got
115
so many different parts to the seats and dash
116
that you can kind of play around with different colors
117
and make this really really pop on the inside so down the interior let's see what we got here.
118
Interior color, unfortunately, they don't give you a lot of options on interior.
119
You got about 18 colors, 9 in leather and 9 in Alcantara.
120
But, you know, I was going to opt for a gray and red mixture.
121
Let me see what this is giving me here.
122
Okay, so this got the red steering wheel.
123
It's a little too much red.
124
So we want to do a little more Alcantara, but look at that.
125
I mean this thing, the quality of this configurator is bar none, incredible.
126
To the leather interior, so Alcantara, okay there we go.
127
By the way guys, I'm colorblind, so excuse me if I'm showing you blue, but I really think it's gray.
128
A little bit, yeah.
129
Yeah, my wife tells me, I don't know.
130
When we go shopping for clothing, you know, I always tend to buy black and I come home with navy blue.
131
All right, so this one,
132
we opted instead of having red steering wheel and accents or i guess the all interior it's showing me alcantara
133
let me see
134
if this actually this is a steering wheel okay we're gonna
135
go with alcantara dash trim definitely alcantara dashboard alcantara i just
136
feel like i don't know carbon's gonna have too much shine
137
so we'll do alcantara and then what do we got here stitching options definitely red that's got it really pop.
138
Now this is really cool.
139
It gives you two different types of stitching, French or French cross.
140
Hmm, let's see what does French cross look like.
141
All right, I can't really tell the difference, but I really love the red accents.
142
I think it looks really elegant.
143
Wow, look at even the headliner.
144
It's got a nice diamond cut stitching in red.
145
I think that, you know, because the outside is so wild, the inside should be more subtle and I like this.
146
Let me know what you guys think and let me see
147
if there's a better view there we go just picture heavier
148
arrow with this spec this looks sick let me see on a specification well definitely we're picking u.s market
149
so i guess that's it there's not much to go there
150
well that's the first spec that's my initial thought well let's move on to yellow
151
and see what you guys think of yellow i don't know i had two yellow carrier gts
152
and there's something about yellow maybe it runs in a persian culture Oh wow look at this one here yellow
153
but still leaving the accents red looks kind of like a toyish let's get rid of that.
154
You're possibly gonna do your believe in yellow.
155
Yeah right yeah yep that was one of my options.
156
I don't know I feel like with the yellow you can't
157
really do the pen stripe just it doesn't go unless you did all in black we can see both
158
but let me take a look on the sides yeah let me take everything off first
159
and see how it looks there we go I think this looks a lot more cleaner now.
160
Just yellow and black.
161
Wow.
162
I'm really loving this.
163
I don't know which one I love more, the yellow or the red.
164
Let me take a look at 360.
165
Oh.
166
I don't know, Nate, this is a tough choice.
167
Look at this.
168
Let's remove the doors.
169
I wanna see how it looks on convertible and remove the roof.
170
Man, I love this configurator.
171
Look at that.
172
Oh my God, this looks amazing.
173
Right now, are you leaning a little more towards one color than the other or?
174
I don't know, I'm starting to like this yellow more.
175
Oh, let me just quickly change the stitching of inside to yellow.
176
Just want to see how it looks.
177
It only has gold, doesn't have yellow.
178
Let's try gold and see what that looks like.
179
How does that look?
180
Oh, actually looks good.
181
Oh, let's take a look.
182
Not bad.
183
I don't know.
184
I'm starting to like this more.
185
I feel like the red is a little too busy with the white pen stripe.
186
This is clean.
187
Of course, I gotta pick the right yellow because there are some yellows that, you know, I like a deep yellow, kind of like canary yellow.
188
It's too light.
189
Something a little bit more heavy, like a bison yellow. But anyhow.
190
So I know you canceled the Justo Absolute and the ATT&CK.
191
I was wondering, did you have a spec in mind for those?
192
Yeah, it was the same spec.
193
Yeah, well they're ideally, you know, same car, just a heavier aero with a sailor spear, a little more horsepower, but what's cool,
194
I do like the gear shift missing.
195
I think it's just gonna look more refined, but I think the cool part of this car is going to be the rear.
196
So the rear of this car is gonna be like the absolute rear end
197
with the huge wing bigger than the Jesco ATT&CK.
198
So I think the combination of the refinement of the rear
199
with the bigger wing of the Jesco ATT&CK is like the two-in-one almost.
200
So I'm getting two cars for price on one.
201
There will be work in progress before I finalize my spec, but I wanted to share this first session, this great exciting news.
202
There's a Seder Spears coming in 2026, and I'd love to get your feedback on colors, spec, would be covered and what else do you think should be a consideration
203
so with that's it hope you guys enjoyed it be safe be well and see you on the next one
204
Thank you.

Practice Tips for Shadowing
This video has a friendly, energetic tone with a moderate speed—ideal for shadow speech practice. Here's how to make the most of it: Use a shadowing app to pause and repeat short sections, like the part where the speaker describes the configurator ("This is the best configurator I’ve seen..."). Focus on matching the excitement in their voice when they say "Wow, look at that!" or "This is incredible." For tricky parts, like "1625 horsepower" or "Seder Spears," slow down the audio in your app and practice shadow speak until you feel confident. Notice how the speaker uses pauses when listing options ("exterior color, center stripe, stripe position...")—copying this rhythm will make your speech sound more natural. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be able to follow along smoothly, boosting your English speaking skills with every shadowing session.
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.
