One of the most enjoyable meals I've had outside my home was during a short trip I took to Hanoi, Vietnam last year.
20
I had the chance to try Nem Ran, which are traditional Vietnamese spring rolls.
21
I spent the whole afternoon walking around the old quarter, and by evening, I was craving something warm and satisfying.
22
A local friend of mine recommended a small, family-run restaurant near the lake, so I went with her to try it.
23
The spring rolls were absolutely delicious.
24
They were made with minced chicken, glass noodles, mushrooms, and finely chopped vegetables,
25
all wrapped in rice paper and then deep fried until crispy.
26
They were served with a small bowl of tangy sauce made from fish sauce, garlic, and chili.
27
We also had them with rice vermicelli, fresh herbs like mint, and lettuce to wrap everything up.
28
What made the experience really memorable was the contrast in textures and flavors.
29
The crunch of the roll, the softness of the noodles, and the freshness of the herbs all came together amazingly well.
30
It felt light but filling.
31
I also enjoyed it because my Vietnamese friend was with me to explain the ingredients that went into the dish.
32
Even now, when I think of Hanoi, the taste of those spring rolls is one of the first things that comes to mind.
33
Thank you.

Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise.

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.
