Pratique du Shadowing: It's Been Ages - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
If you're speaking American English and you see an old friend or a colleague you haven't seen in a while, you can say, It's been ages since we've talked.
2
What does this mean?
3
To find out, let's listen to an actual conversation.
4
How are you?
5
I haven't seen you for a few years.
6
I'm doing great.
7
It's been ages since we've talked, hasn't it?
8
It's been a long time, that's for sure.
9
In American English, it's been ages is another way of saying it's been a long time
10
or a long time has passed since you've seen each other.
11
You may remember the word ages being used to talk about different periods of history, like the Ice Age or the Stone Age or the Bronze Age.
12
Saying it's been ages uses exaggeration by saying it's been many of those long stretches of time since something has happened.
13
And that's English in a Minute.

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.
