1
Hey everybody, today we're making another video where we're going to be practicing your speaking and conversational skills by having a conversation,
2
you and me.
3
Well, because you asked for it and I'm very glad that you love this format.
4
So let's go over what it's going to look like.
5
I have prepared a dialogue.
6
One line is for me and the other one is for you.
7
You will see them on the screen.
8
I'm gonna say my line and you're gonna read your line out loud on the screen
9
and that's gonna be your response and then vice versa.
10
The first line will be yours and the second mine.
11
This exercise will give you already ready lines
12
and answers to use in real life with other people and get you prepared to have conversations.
13
In addition, you might pick up a phrase or two.
14
And for this video,
15
I thought it'd be useful to go through a dialogue of two people meeting each other for the first time
16
and let's say a mutual friend introduced them.
17
I believe that we've all been in such a situation
18
and we know that it's a little bit unnerving
19
and might be awkward and sometimes you might not know what to say especially if you need to say this in English.
20
So this dialogue might give you some ideas.
21
Let's proceed.
22
I'm saying my line and then you'll see your line on the screen
23
and say it out loud as if you were answering to me.
24
Hi, you must be Anna.
25
I'm Alex.
26
It's nice to meet you.
27
So Steph tells me the two of you go way back.
28
Yeah, we actually met in college though,
29
then after we both landed jobs at the same company.
30
I'm from New York, Brooklyn.
31
But you live in New York now, right?
32
Oh yeah?
33
Whereabouts?
34
No way, I know that place.
35
I've been there several times over the years.
36
I've never had bad meal there and it's a nice touch having that view of Central Park.
37
So if you've worked there since college then we might have crossed paths there more than once in the last couple years.
38
Oh, congratulations!
39
So that means that I have likely eaten and enjoyed dinners you have made.
40
That sounds fabulous!
41
I will make it a point to go there next time I'm home.
42
And now we switch lines.
43
The first one will be yours and the second mine.
44
So now you start.
45
Hi Alex, yes, it's nice to meet you too.
46
Yeah, we grew up together here in Columbus.
47
We lived a couple blocks apart as kids and went to school together all through high school.
48
And you guys work together?
49
Oh nice!
50
So where are you from originally?
51
Yeah I went there for culinary school but then got a job at a restaurant right after graduation.
52
in Manhattan, a small French restaurant called Per Se.
53
Well, I've always worked in the kitchen.
54
First as an assistant to the head chef,
55
but as of 6 months ago as the head chef myself after he retired.
56
Oh, thank you, that's so nice of you to say.
57
You know, our menu now has some new entries.
58
My own personal creations actually.
59
You should step in and try some sometime whenever you're back in New York.
60
It'll be on the house.
61
Awesome, I look forward to it.
62
And now let's listen to the whole dialogue.
63
Hi, you must be Anna.
64
I'm Alex.
65
It's nice to meet you.
66
Hi Alex.
67
Yes, it's nice to meet you too.
68
So Steph tells me the two of you go way back.

Practice Tips

To maximize your learning potential, consider employing shadow speech techniques as you practice. This can be achieved by using a shadowing app or simply repeating lines after hearing them. Pay attention to the speed and tone of the speaker in this video. Start by listening carefully to the pronunciation, rhythm, and emotion in their speech. Then, try to shadow speak along, mimicking exactly what you hear. This not only helps with pronunciation but also improves your listening skills.

For beginners, take your time with each sentence, repeating them slowly at first. As you grow more confident, increase your pace to match that of the speaker. This exercise is a great way to learn English with YouTube, allowing you to practice engaging dialogue in the comfort of your home. With consistent practice, you'll find yourself more equipped to initiate and carry on conversations in English!

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.
