Création de la leçon...
1
This is me moments before meeting Ronaldo.
2
And since this is his last World Cup, this might be my only chance of taking a picture with my favorite athlete.
3
I just made it to the FIFA World Cup.
4
Thanks to YouTube and FIFA for inviting me.
5
It's raining so much.
6
What do you think?
7
It's on phone.
8
I found cover.
9
Oh my goodness, my poor camera.
10
Since I have premium access, thanks to YouTube, I can go anywhere I want, I think.
11
Almost anywhere?
12
Which means I have three chances of meeting Ronaldo.
13
First, inside the stadium, second on the pitch, and finally at the media conference after the game.
14
So I'm just exploring, looking around.
15
Maybe Ronaldo's like eating a sandwich.
16
There's no way he's going to be eating a sandwich just like right there.
17
Oh my goodness, sweet.
18
I think I see him.
19
Never mind.
20
Everyone is just wearing his jersey and everyone's screaming.
21
I'm inside the stadium and so far I have not seen Ronaldo.
22
Excuse me, can you hold the camera please?
23
I am very far from the pitch.
24
And I think that my chances are gonna be a lot better if I go down there.
25
I'm on my way down.
26
I am high.
27
Because I have premium access, I'm gonna be able to go all the way down to the pitch.
28
So, we're gonna go down the elevator.
29
I'm so high.
30
We're at the first floor.
31
I hope I'm able to get his attention.
32
So to get access to the pitch, I need to wear this beautiful piece of clothing Oh my goodness, I'm down!
33
I made it!
34
My adrenaline is through the frickin' room I think the players are gonna come out right now to clear
35
Did we go on the wrong side?
36
We were just told to leave there, but I just saw him for like a split second right across the table.
37
Okay, we're on the right side now.
38
Players are currently warming up.
39
They're gonna get off the field a little bit, then come back on, and hopefully when they come back in, that's what I can beat Ronaldo.
40
They just wrapped up warming up.
41
Now we're going to another area so that we can get closer to them.
42
I feel so legit walking through, like, the back rooms of this stadium.
43
Hi!
44
They're about to walk out.
45
They're about to walk out.
46
Why can't I just run out of storage mid- Let me check my storage!
47
I have 200 gigabytes left side, shouldn't be gone.
48
They're out of the gate, so that means it's just happening.
49
The people who hold the flags are coming out, so the players should come off fairly soon.
50
What?
51
So, where's Portugal?
52
You guys first get it?
53
What?
54
What's happening?
55
What's happening?
56
What's happening?
57
He's gonna walk through this window.
58
I'm gonna get the perfect picture.
59
Wait, I got a mock for the picture the picture.
60
I'm gonna look good for an all-no-wait.
61
I wish I could reapply the lock.
62
My heart is beating out of my chest.
63
Woo!
64
They're coming out, they're coming out, they're coming out.
65
Oh my goodness.
66
Oh my goodness, they're coming out, they're coming out.
67
I gotta pose for the picture.
68
Oh my goodness.
69
Woo!
70
Woo!
71
Woo!
72
AARONDO!
73
I don't think he was looking at my camera, but like, we can screenshot that.
74
Now I'm going to go to my street and I'm going to watch the actual game.
75
I'm walking to my seat right now.
76
You might be wondering, why are you not there?
77
Wait till you see my seat.
78
This is my seat.
79
The most premium seating viewing experience.
80
Wow.
81
Wow.
82
As I watched the game, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened at the pitch.
83
I technically got a picture with Ronaldo, but the only problem is he had no idea.
84
So I don't really feel like it counts.
85
Game is ended, but apparently the players go to like a media center press conference kind of thingy, so we're not even 100% sure if that's what's gonna happen, but it doesn't hurt to go there.
86
No clue where I'm walking, but we're going.
87
We're going somewhere.
88
I am in.
89
I'm at the media section where players are gonna walk through because like a bunch of media is gonna ask them questions.
90
Right now all the players are walking through here, but I'm like wrapped out in Portugal merch.
91
I mean I have face paint, scarf, the jersey, like I just know the other team is not gonna talk to me.
92
I'm just waiting for Portugal.
93
I see Ronaldo.
94
He is right there.
95
Oh my goodness.
96
Guys, that's literally Ronaldo.
97
It's Ronaldo.
98
Ronaldo!
99
Guys, I was like this close to Ronaldo.
100
Okay, maybe not that close, but like... That close.
101
But Ronaldo still didn't pose for a picture.
102
And if this is my last chance, I want it to count.
103
Oh, are they going to walk by now?
104
Me too, again.
105
I gotta post for my picture.
106
I did it!
107
I finally took a picture with the Cristiano Ronaldo.
108
Thank you again to YouTube for inviting me to the 2026 FIFA World Cup
109
and giving me premium access to make my dreams come true.
110

Engaging in shadowing exercises with this content can greatly expand your pronunciation and fluency, all while tapping into popular culture. Why not use a shadowing app or a site dedicated to improving English pronunciation to make the most of your practice?

Grammar & Expressions in Context

As you dissect this transcript, you’ll notice various grammatical structures and expressions that are essential for everyday conversations. Here are a few key elements:

  • Questions and Exclamations: The speaker frequently uses questions and exclamatory phrases, such as "What do you think?" and "Oh my goodness!" This reflects natural dialogue, creating a sense of immediacy and engagement. Learning to incorporate similar expressions can enhance your conversational skills.
  • Use of Present Progressive: The speaker's use of the present progressive (e.g., "I am just exploring") shows ongoing actions. This tense is key in describing what someone is currently doing, which can improve the fluency of your own speech.
  • Descriptive Language: Phrases like "my adrenaline is through the frickin' roof" showcase vivid expressions that exhibit strong emotions. Mastering these colorful descriptions helps you convey feelings more effectively in your conversations.

Common Pronunciation Traps

When practicing with this video, pay attention to some tricky words and accents that could pose challenges for English learners:

  • Adrenaline: This word may be pronounced incorrectly by beginners. Focus on the syllable stress and the “line” sound at the end.
  • Ronaldo: Depending on regional accents, the pronunciation can vary. Ensure you mimic the vowel sounds to sound more natural while speaking.
  • Excuse me: Make sure to blend the words smoothly; native speakers often reduce the sounds, making it sound like "excus’ me."

By focusing on these aspects during your speaking practice, whether through a shadowing site or a tool like Shadowspeaks, you can effectively boost your English language skills and gain confidence in real-life interactions.

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.
