Pratique du Shadowing: I Stayed in Earth’s Deadliest Hotel - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
This is the highest building in Europe.
2
It's also a hotel and I'm going to spend the next three days crossing deadly glaciers
3
and fighting high altitude as I try and get there.
4
Thankfully the start of this super dangerous hike to the highest hotel in the world starts here at a ski lift.
5
Hopefully I can manage that part.
6
Okay here we go.
7
So I've got to take two ski lifts up now and apparently that's where I'm going to be meeting my guys.
8
Of course this hike is so dangerous that I'm going to need Okay here we go the second lift.
9
Is that not the most like ominous looking thing ever?
10
You just get a lift up into the clouds.
11
I am terrified.
12
Ah, we're through.
13
Martin?
14
Nice to meet you.
15
Nice to meet you, how are you doing?
16
I'm good, are you?
17
Yeah I'm good thank you.
18
Are we taking this thing?
19
with Martin and we spoke about the hike
20
that we're about to go on today's gonna be a bit
21
of an easier day isn't it yeah it's gonna take like 40 minutes walk nice
22
and then tomorrow is the big day it's the big day the big day okay
23
so we've just been and got kitted out with crampons harnesses
24
and a helmet and that's all for tomorrow when we go over the more challenging terrain are we getting another Wow.
25
We set off on the hike for what was meant to be an easy day one
26
and within two minutes we were on ice.
27
Hi Gigi, just watch where you put your feet because it's icy so maybe it's a little bit slippery.
28
Okay, okay, got it.
29
I can tell we're at a high altitude, I'm feeling okay.
30
It'll be interesting to see how we get on tomorrow because that is, that's going to be next level.
31
across the ice, the rest of the hike for day one was pretty straightforward.
32
There was some slightly technical sections but nothing compared to the danger that would face tomorrow.
33
And before we knew it, okay, we can see the refuge for tonight.
34
Still a bit of climbing to go.
35
but it looks really cool.
36
There we go.
37
Just up there.
38
Everyone's heading the same way.
39
And the views are just breathtaking like -
40
both metaphorically and literally.
41
And here we are, the refuge for tonight.
42
Let's go!
43
Yeah!
44
Thanks for the drone lesson, Martin.
45
No, no, no, no. How are you?
46
Martin's a drone flying expert.
47
This is us.
48
Wow.
49
Little two better.
50
Are you, uh...
51
Top bunk or bottom bunk?
52
Bottom.
53
Bottom bunk, okay.
54
Okay.
55
Me and Martin got to know each other a bit better over a beer
56
and spoke about the plans for tomorrow hiking up to the highest building in Europe.
57
Wow.
58
Let's see.
59
Really good.
60
Yeah.
61
Oh my gosh.
62
The food here is absolutely insane.
63
This is a refuge built for mountaineers.
64
It's a sort of purpose built.
65
It's not a hotel.
66
But the food is rivaling that of hotel.
67
The two meals we've just had are incredible and apparently there's dessert.
68
Do you enjoy your food Martin?
69
Oh yes!
70
That was so nice!
71
There's an incredible sunset outside, look at this.
72
- That mountain way off in the distance is Mont Blanc, the tallest mountain in central Europe.
73
- Okay, so me and Martin, we've refueled after that lovely dinner, haven't we?
74
- Yeah.
75
- That was something of dreams.
76
- We're just getting our stuff ready for tomorrow.
77
The weather's looking okay.
78
- Yeah, the weather is really good. in the morning.
79
5 :30.
80
Yeah.
81
Nice and early.
82
And we've got about a thousand meters of climb.
83
Yeah.
84
Now, I've just been and done a bit of research.
85
How many margarita pizzas do you think that's the equivalent to stacked on top of each other?
86
A lot.
87
50 ,000.
88
Yeah.
89
We're doing 50 ,000 margarita pizzas tomorrow.
90
Okay, it's time to get ready for bed.
91
Got a big day tomorrow. Do you snore?
92
Snore when you're sleeping.
93
No, no, no. No, I don't think so.
94
Morning Martin.
95
Some granola toast for breakfast.
96
We're literally the last ones to leave the hut this morning because most people don't actually stay over at Margarita hut.
97
They just go up and come back down.
98
So people were up at 3 :00 a .m this morning, weren't they?
99
at this refuge, feeling refreshed, ready for the big day.
100
Look at this.
101
What's that?
102
What's that thunder?
103
Yeah, down there.
104
Oh my gosh!
105
Is that coming for us?
106
Oh my days!
107
The hike begins!
108
Wow!
109
This is where I get serious.
110
Yeah, so it's time to put the crampons on.
111
Okay?
112
Helmet and crampons for the spikes that go in your shoes.
113
They're going on.
114
So is the helmet.
115
This is where we're going.
116
Wow, what an epic backdrop.
117
It has dropped significantly in temperature because we've just got on the glacier.
118
And the final thing we need to do is me
119
and Martin are going to tie ourselves together to ensure that if one of us does fall down a crevasse, we can pull each other out basically.
120
This is where this hike goes up a level and becomes much harder.
121
Panamagherita.
122
Here we come!
123
As we're getting higher and higher, I'm having to work harder and harder.
124
because of the altitude.
125
I thought I'd stop and tell you about the perils of this hike that we're doing.
126
This is a crevasse and this is a danger of a glacier.
127
You can see there is the ice below and then the snow there.
128
So later in the season the snow on top of the glacier gets thinner
129
which means your odds of falling through the snow into a crevasse are higher and crevasses are the dangerous part about glaciers.
130
Earlier this season someone on this exact walk fell 20 meters On that note, should we carry on?
131
Let's go!
132
The later in the day, the warmer it gets, the more the snow melts, the more the glaciers move, and the more the risk increases.
133
We're really starting to climb now.
134
I reckon we've covered maybe 10 ,000 margarita pizzas.
135
They see these people down here crossing all of those crevasses.
136
Look how dangerous that is.
137
compared to the path on the left.
138
It's crazy, I just look in front and all you can see is just a wall of snow.
139
But then you look behind you, down into the valleys, you should realise just how high up we actually are.
140
Literally just crevasses everywhere.
141
This is Crazy. but crazy.
142
I want to know how they got up here carrying stuff.
143
for the original Margarita hut.
144
The original Margarita hut was actually built back in 1889.
145
All by hand.
146
Oh, and that's Queen Margarita.
147
The same lady the Margarita pizza's named after.
148
And of course, this hut.
149
Capanna Margarita.
150
And like, mules as well.
151
How on earth did they get up this slope?
152
That is crazy.
153
Like our heroes.
154
Yeah, literally heroes that built this.
155
Wow.
156
So when we get to the top here, we would have done just under half and that would be my first time ever
157
going to 4000 meters altitude.
158
This is where the oxygen starts getting very thin.
159
Oh my gosh, that must be 60 meters deep.
160
This is the danger of glaciers.
161
I'm getting a bit of a headache now from the altitude.
162
Nothing bad.
163
That's one of the telltale signs of altitude sickness.
164
My breathing feels okay.
165
I feel like my running fitness is sort of helping me here.
166
But we've still got a long way to go.
167
And I imagine the difference between here and Capano Margherita altitude is going to feel pretty significant.
168
How do you say let's go in Italian?
169
Yeah, mom.
170
So, andiamo, andiamo.
171
Quick progress update for you.
172
We're at 4 ,140 meters, meaning we've got 400 meters of climb left.
173
Thank you.
174
Yeah!
175
Those guys have got the right idea.
176
I can really feel the altitude now.
177
Just feels like you're breathing through a straw.
178
No way!
179
Oh my gosh!
180
There it is!
181
A panama margarita!
182
Now I can see it.
183
It's just giving me like a burst of energy.
184
It looks so insane!
185
We've still got a really long way to go.
186
We've got to go down and then up.
187
How are you feeling, Martin?
188
I'm feeling good, isn't you?
189
Feeling good?
190
Yeah, we're good!
191
Just 10 ,000 more grated pizzas left.
192
It seems to have come out of the bad patch I
193
was going through earlier where I had a bit of a headache.
194
I feel okay now.
195
I think it just seems to come and go in waves like...
196
There she is!
197
We're so close!
198
Yeah Martin!
199
Oh yes sir!
200
Yeah!
201
Final post!
202
We are so close.
203
Literally about 5 ,000 Margarita pizzas of elevation left till we get to Margarita Hut.
204
Come on!
205
We can do it.
206
Is this the steepest section?
207
Yeah.
208
The steepest section of the whole climb coming up.
209
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Woo!
210
Woo!
211
Happy birthday, Sam!
212
Oh my god!
213
Wow, thank you so much!
214
Oh, mate!
215
That was incredible!
216
We go inside to take a walk a little bit.
217
Morten was right.
218
It was absolutely freezing on this ridge.
219
Sounds like a good idea to me.
220
Let's go and see what Capano Margarita, the highest building in Europe, is all about.
221
Overnight, temperatures were going to drop to minus 10 degrees.
222
pretty damn cold
223
and in this moment i could only think of one thing the new drio whole room heater
224
which allows me to take off my thick jacket instantly thanks
225
to the 3d whole room heating technology the two second instant heater
226
and the eight layer safety protection system look at all the
227
crocs we've got here i'm in the changing rooms now it's really really busy
228
so i'm just going to get changed slip on my crocs go check in
229
and then take you on a tour around capanna margarita i've So many things we need to find out.
230
Drio has been the number one space heater brand on Amazon US for two consecutive years, and they just leveled up massively with their new whole room heater.
231
The 90 degree horizontal and vertical rotations paired with revolutionary fan technology means it covers three times the area of regular heaters.
232
And it does all of this whilst being whisper quiet.
233
You can control the heater directly from the heater or using the remote.
234
And I can keep this heater on all day without having to worry about my energy bill
235
because it comes with Eco Mode, which gives up to 40 % energy saving.
236
I've had this heater on for a solid 20 minutes now and touching it around the outside, it's not hot at all.
237
That's the cool touch casing.
238
And then this is the tip over technology.
239
Within seconds, the heater's turned off.
240
So transform using the Drio whole room heater, which you can get using the link in the description for less than $100.
241
Thank you Drio for supporting the channel and keeping me warm this winter.
242
We're not messing about here straight in for the pizza.
243
Let's go.
244
What did you say?
245
It's the best?
246
Your favorite pizza?
247
Yeah, they made it here and it's so good.
248
It's not that thin, you know, it's quite big.
249
Yeah, I cannot wait for this.
250
The fact that they made this four and a half thousand meters up a mountain.
251
Mind blowing.
252
- Yes, yes.
253
Mmm.
254
Oh my gosh, that pizza was incredible.
255
Martin just let me know as well, there is actually Wi -Fi at this refuge.
256
Right guys, it's time for a tour of Margarita Hut.
257
If you can't tell, it's still really, really windy.
258
Let's go inside, let's go inside.
259
Right, so this is like the reception sort of area.
260
People drop off their stuff here, all their climbing gear, helmets and that.
261
Also the same thing, but slightly bigger.
262
So you've got some benches.
263
I mean, look at all these crocs.
264
That's two to get into me already.
265
This is the winter room.
266
Margarita Hut is only open for three months in the summer,
267
and then for the rest of the year, It's closed other than this room and I think This room.
268
No one at reception at the minute, but you can see coffee machine, beer on tap, wide selection of drinks.
269
Also, you probably can't hear it, but there's always reggae playing in the reception and I absolutely love it.
270
More seating.
271
Look at the views.
272
Absolutely just looking at the views.
273
Yeah, very good.
274
The next place we get to is the dining area.
275
This is dining area.
276
The kitchen is in there.
277
Can't really see in, but that's where the magic happens.
278
That's where the margarita pizzas are, mate.
279
There's a balcony Wow.
280
And then round the side here is a generator.
281
That's how they get the power from solar panels and generators.
282
Back inside it's cold outside.
283
There's just like random pictures of people everywhere now.
284
I actually almost fell over when I saw this.
285
Get ready.
286
A shower!
287
There is a shower here thinking about it.
288
I think that says reserved and it means reserved for the people that work here at Canna Margarita.
289
I think there is six rooms capacity for 70 people look
290
how many power sockets we've got luxury way of room number three Look who's here?
291
Seven beds in here and four people staying in here tonight.
292
Pretty standard sort of refuge setup.
293
Nice, big, comfy duvet, nice pillow.
294
But this is the absolute centerpiece.
295
this room a balcony oh my gosh I actually feels like I'm in heaven
296
that is such a cool balcony that is epic not that you need to see this but uh Here's the toilet,
297
but with the view!
298
Look at this!
299
I mean this might be the best view for a * ever.
300
Cheers!
301
Just ordered some more food, because the margarita pizza was that good.
302
Got some pasta.
303
Oh my gosh.
304
The Parmesan.
305
Martin's going for a second margarita pizza.
306
It was that good.
307
You had to get another.
308
Okay, we've made it to Pan Amargarita.
309
Yes.
310
You've had two margarita pizzas.
311
I was just going to ask you some questions.
312
Having heard parts of his story, I sat down with Martin for an interview.
313
I didn't quite realise the huge financial risk he'd taken to become an Alpine guide.
314
Having quit his old job, which he didn't really enjoy, he pursued his dream of working in the mountains and that's
315
when he became an alpine guide in early 2025 after completing his rigorous and expensive training.
316
But you're glad you did it?
317
Yeah, yeah.
318
It wasn't that easy and but right now I can say I'm really happy, you know.
319
And do you have a general message to the world?
320
What I just thinking, the life it's so short sometimes, you know, so...
321
arrive to the end of your days, and you're just thinking: "Oh, maybe I can go to Margherita, or maybe...
322
I wish I would want to do that stuff, but right now it's too late." Yeah, yeah, yeah.
323
So sometimes take time from yourself Yeah,
324
and try to enjoy more your life.
325
Yeah, life's short, you've got to go and get it, haven't you?
326
Yeah, that was brilliant.
327
Bit of an update for you guys.
328
It's currently 5 p .m.
329
I've been here since 11 a .m.
330
and I've just been lounging about all day.
331
Dinner is being served at half past six, praying for more margarita pizza.
332
40 minutes till dinner.
333
Just giving this bed a good old try out.
334
It's really, really comfy and that is not an exaggeration.
335
I know we're at high altitude but I just don't see how I can't sleep well tonight.
336
Just bought a Coke.
337
It's got six euros.
338
A beer was five.
339
I think the rest of the food I've had has been pretty standard prices.
340
Cross number one.
341
Oh my gosh, those first two dishes were incredible.
342
I'm slightly socially overwhelmed as I'm sat on a table with six people all talking Italian and I don't know any Italian.
343
But they seem really nice!
344
How do they make such good food?
345
4 ,500 meters up a mountain.
346
This is so nice!
347
Bellissimo!
348
Dessert!
349
No way!
350
Look at this!
351
There is literally a halo!
352
What?! on earth.
353
What the heck?
354
Who did that?
355
Okay, last thing we're gonna do is try and ask a staff member a couple of questions.
356
Sorry.
357
I have to ask how long do you stay up here for?
358
Yeah Three, four weeks.
359
Three, four weeks.
360
Do you walk up or do you get a helicopter?
361
Depends.
362
Oh, okay.
363
Usually we go up by helicopter, go down by walk.
364
Right, okay.
365
- At the end of the season, we go by Eligato because we have a roper and...
366
- Oh, you got all your stuff to bring down?
367
- Yes.
368
- Right, nice.
369
Do you get used to the altitude?
370
Like, do you...
371
Can you tell you're at altitude still or?
372
I feel good.
373
You feel good?
374
Yes.
375
I bet you're super fit.
376
Thank you.
377
Okay, so I found out.
378
One night at Margarita Hut is 150 euros.
379
Let's look at this sunset.
380
Okay, I've got quite a bad headache from the altitude, but hopefully I can sleep.
381
See you in the morning.
382
Morning, it's twenty past five in the morning.
383
But when you said I'd do well to get two hours sleep, you weren't kidding, were you?
384
Oh my gosh, never had anything like it.
385
I have got a banging headache from the altitude.
386
Thankfully Martin's gave me some paracetamol's though.
387
Holy smokes, this might be the greatest sunrise on planet Earth, look at this.
388
you Is it true that you can get married here?
389
I do say that they already did it.
390
Really?
391
Yes, yes.
392
No way.
393
You want an Alphanguide?
394
Yeah.
395
Oh, they got married here.
396
That is confirmed.
397
They look at the stars here because we're so high up, there's no light pollution.
398
People get married here?
399
Yeah.
400
Do you research on the impact of altitude here?
401
Yeah, exactly.
402
I mean this place, it's got it all going hasn't it?
403
Yeah.
404
Thanks again to Drio for making this video possible and stay warm this winter using their heater linked in the description.
405
It's a bit windy.
406
Just a little bit.
407
Alright we're going down.
408
What an adventure this is.
409
Let's go.
410
you

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.
