Pratique du Shadowing: Matteo Lane & Nick Make Mac and Cheese - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

We thought we would go over today two different macaroni and cheeses.

Nick's style and then my style.

Okay, hey everyone.

Hi everyone.

I hate you so much.

Nick and I are doing a cooking video today.

Nick, do you want to tell us where we are?

My day job is as a real estate agent, so this is at one of my listings at 315 East 65th Street.

So thank you to the owner for letting us film this year.

So today I thought we would do a cooking video.

Now, Nick can't cook.

He can make like one thing.

We thought we would go over today two different macaroni and cheeses.

Nick's style and then my style, which is...

The correct way and the pretentious way.

Let's go.

All right.

So pay attention closely, everybody, because it does get complicated.

Start off with white cheddar.

Why did you pick white cheddar, not the normal?

Because it's the best one.

And I'm just feeling a little spicy.

I don't...

Leave in the comments your favorite Kraft Mac and Cheese.

Mine actually spirals.

You start by opening the box and remove all packages.

Oh, see, it's not even the good pasta.

I hate the little shell.

Oh, I hate you.

So here we are.

So this is the cheese.

Save that for later.

So we're going to take our pan, fill it with water.

I don't know.

You're cooking.

You tell me.

Jesus, my hand was there.

Set it and forget it.

So then to prep, you grab your butter.

We'll be needing four tablespoons and your milk, which will be needing a fourth of a cup and a spoon.

Now we wait.

What was the first thing as a child you learned how to make?

We would cook with my mom every night.

So I mean, the thing I learned how to make on my own pasta with butter, I used to make pizza dough once a week and it was like fun.

Me and my brother and sister, you put the yeast, you watch it rise, and then we all could make our own individual pizzas, which I'm sure looks like shit.

First thing that I learned how to cook...

What?

Was probably those ramen...

Roadkill?

...Romen packets sautéed with roadkill.

Yeah, I was gonna say.

I did ramen packets or Kraft.

Oh, your water's almost boiling.

It's not even close to being boiled.

In about 30 seconds, it's gonna be boiling.

Anyways, now what?

Get ready.

Start making your pastas.

Get ready what?

To pour in the noodles?

Well, are you gonna salt the water?

Fuck.

Celtic sea salt.

It's literally boiling.

I don't know.

What are you waiting for?

Alright, so now that it's boiling, we take our pasta shells, to be specific, and you just pour.

But don't throw away the box because you need the instructions.

Then we take our spoon.

You've done that already.

Shut the hell up.

This is my segment.

Now we wait.

There's a great interview with Barbara Walters.

Who is she interviewing again?

Some NBA was like a racist piece of shit.

Anyway, so he had this assistant, but Barbara Walters was interviewing her.

I'm sure Barbara Walters was like, I've interviewed Fidel Castro, Putin, Obama, and Oprah.

And now I'm stuck with this slut.

She goes, what's your relationship?

She goes, I can be his anything, his friend, his confidant, his silly rabbit.

And Barbara goes, his what?

His silly rabbit?

Does he call you that?

No. The people watching will know exactly what we're talking about.

Oh yeah, she died.

Celine, when you were younger, you were the ugliest child in the world.

Why don't you tell us a little more about that?

You and I look so sad looking at this.

I can't wait for this to be done so I can eat it.

I'm genuinely excited for your pasta.

So you just keep stirring.

When it's done, it's just a guttural feeling.

Well, you can taste it.

When it's done, it's just like a guttural feeling.

Your shoulders look like a fucking curtain rod.

They're so wide.

You look like a curtain from behind.

100

One time, there was this guy who was at dinner with me, Bob and Nick.

101

Nick and I were so mean to each other, but we think it's funny.

102

But he was flabbergasted.

103

He was like, I can't believe you guys talk to each other this way.

104

He's like, my friends and I are so sweet and nice to each other.

105

We're like, that means you don't have friends.

106

Yeah.

107

Nick's like, well, then you can't hang out with us if you can't.

108

You gotta have tough skin.

109

Turns out, he didn't want to hang out with us anyways.

110

So I'm just going to turn this off.

111

I think it's done.

112

Fuck.

113

Pour it in the strainer.

114

Are you gonna reserve any of that pasta water?

115

Is this your segment or mine?

116

Ernest question.

117

Put the hot pot back on the stove.

118

We need our butter.

119

Quick tip for you.

120

On every butter packet, actually tells you.

121

So no thinking involved.

122

You just go to the number four, slice right through that paper.

123

You can choose either side because they're the same.

124

I'm going with the top side for reasons.

125

Gently toss that in.

126

Let it melt a little.

127

Your pasta's now completely stuck together.

128

Then we're gonna get the pasta.

129

Fucking Christ.

130

We bring it over and just gently pour it in.

131

And then we're just gonna mix.

132

Mixy mixy mix.

133

You want the butter to be melted.

134

Now my assistant will be going into the refrigerator and getting the milk for me.

135

I can't remember what you do first.

136

So we're going to do the cheese.

137

That's actually how I do it.

138

I do the butter then the cheese then the milk.

139

It's exactly, I do it the same way.

140

Did you want to interrupt any more?

141

Yes.

142

Now we just lightly pour the finely grated cheese.

143

Oh my god.

144

Take the bag, you want all the contents.

145

Stir.

146

Now you may be thinking to yourself, Ugh, this looks dry.

147

Dry no more.

148

And then you just stir it together.

149

Listen to that.

150

Sounds like Mateo's jerking off off camera.

151

Now this is a PSA.

152

That's what it looks like afterwards too.

153

If it sounds like that, go to your doctor.

154

Then to top it off, optional, I do this.

155

You don't have to.

156

We add some pepper.

157

I forgot how aggressive you are with the pepper.

158

Oh Jesus, this comes out fast.

159

Good thing I like peppers.

160

Nick, that's enough pepper!

161

Oh, I didn't realize we were making it to Mateo's liking.

162

And then you stir it.

163

Let's feed each other.

164

I do not want to feed each other.

165

No, come on, we do the arms now.

166

No, Nick.

167

Just try.

168

Think of the memories.

169

I don't want memories with you.

170

Think of the memories.

171

Just try it.

172

Ready?

173

Why are you out there?

174

Because we've got to hook arms.

175

So we're feeding ourselves.

176

You're an idiot. And?

177

I think it's great.

178

A little peppery.

179

Get something to wash that down?

180

It's like spicy.

181

You can feel the back.

182

There's a grit to it.

183

How did you mess up?

184

There you have it.

185

How did you mess up Kraft Macarty and Cheese?

186

You ruined it.

187

Alright, now you show us.

188

Okay, one more bite.

189

Oh, so it is good.

190

Three bites.

191

I'm hungry.

192

So, I'm doing an Italian four cheese macaroni and cheese recipe I saw recently on the Pasta Queen.

193

But I've had it before in Italy and it's very good, so let's go over the ingredients.

194

We have whipping cream, whole milk, pepper, ground nutmeg, gorgonzola dolce, it's like a sweet gorgonzola.

195

This is parmigiano reggiano, and then this is fontina, and some butter, like Nick, shell pasta.

196

I'm gonna stop you right there.

197

Does your mother know that you lie?

198

30 seconds ago did he say I'm making a four cheese Italian mac and cheese.

199

How many cheeses did you just say?

200

Okay, you're right.

201

How many cheeses did you just say?

202

Do you want more Fontina?

203

How many cheeses?

204

If a car ran you over, I would sleep so soundly.

205

And I'd still be right.

206

Three cheeses.

207

Well, we were supposed to have provolone.

208

No one had it and the only provolone they did have was sliced provolone.

209

So, okay, in a saute pan we are going to mix heavy whipping cream.

210

You didn't whip it though.

211

It's called heavy whipping cream, Nick.

212

And some milk.

213

We're gonna let that start to simmer.

214

Actually, I'm gonna put the butter in while we do it.

215

Here we go.

216

Nick and I saw Wicked.

217

We really liked, we've, you know.

218

One of our favorite shows.

219

Like a year ago.

220

It was good.

221

The girl playing Elphaba, I think she had an off night.

222

Look, I used to be a performer.

223

We all have off nights.

224

But the one part that specifically just really got us together is No Good Deed.

225

No Good Deed.

226

And anyone that's seen the show, the part where it's like, dun, dun, dun, dun.

227

She's stepping back and the fan's there and she goes, No good deed not over the fan.

228

And she realizes she's not over the fan, but anyone that knows how wind works is when you start, the wind will just take you up.

229

But if it's already going and you step into it, it's just a recipe for disaster.

230

So we're in the audience and she's like, no good deed, but nothing's happening.

231

And all of a sudden you see her realize

232

and she steps on the fan and everything just goes a wall and she goes, no good deed goes unpunished.

233

And then we're like, Charity goes, oh, and she's like trying to get out of it, but she's like caught in the cape.

234

Not supposed to be a funny moment.

235

We could not stop laughing.

236

There was so many times Nick and I just grabbed each other.

237

And then in the same song, Spotlight hits her.

238

She's not in the light.

239

So it was Spotlight.

240

She needed to go over blocking again.

241

Yeah, that was...

242

It might have been the eighth show that week. Who knows?

243

She tried.

244

She tried.

245

Yeah, I mean the show's good.

246

I mean the singers are all- It's a great show.

247

It's a great show, but it just- I think she was just- I think the night- It was an off night.

248

Matteo has them all the time.

249

Butter and milk have started to- I feel like that's a lot of liquid.

250

Our butter and milk have started to boil.

251

We're gonna take all of our Parmesan, put in our Parmesan cheese.

252

We're probably putting more Parmesan here too.

253

I'm putting in our Fontina.

254

Okay.

255

Turn this.

256

Wanna, Fanta?

257

Would you like me to salt it?

258

I would not.

259

Okay, we're gonna salt our water.

260

It's Celtic, so...

261

Yeah, I don't know what Celtic salt...

262

You gotta do this while we salt it.

263

This looks great.

264

Will you chop more Parmesan cheese?

265

We're gonna add our gorgonzola dolce.

266

Gorgonzola dolce.

267

A nice, rich flavor.

268

I don't have the arm strength for this.

269

Alright, now we're gonna put in a little bit of nutmeg, a little pepper, a little.

270

You want me to add the parmesan?

271

No, not yet.

272

Looks like you're making cheese soup.

273

Remember Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the mom had.

274

Cheer up, Charlie.

275

Mmm.

276

Mmm.

277

Do you want to try some, Nick?

278

Cheese soup?

279

I'll pass.

280

Das.

281

Okay.

282

Here you go, here you go.

283

Follow it.

284

You're gonna burn yourself.

285

You do it yourself.

286

I don't wanna fucking burn you.

287

Second round of Parmigiano.

288

Reggiano.

289

Reggiano.

290

How would Liza do, Alphaba?

291

I'm the one you want.

292

It is me.

293

It's me!

294

So if you can't!

295

And Lady Gaga is Glinda wheeling her in.

296

She rises with her.

297

I'm just gonna reserve some pasta water.

298

Getting a dream, as strange as it seems.

299

Okay, pour our pasta in.

300

I feel like it's missing pepper.

301

I have pepper in it, Nick.

302

I don't have an obscene amount of pepper in it.

303

It's all white, I don't see any pepper.

304

A gorgeous three cheese sauce.

305

I've turned the heat off by now.

306

So the heat, once you put the pasta in, turn the heat off.

307

You didn't want the rest of that shell, Nick?

308

Fucking idiot.

309

Yeah, of course.

310

He doesn't say that when I was a place to eat.

311

Well, I just had whatever.

312

Well, you couldn't finish yours because you didn't lick your own.

313

Yeah, well you didn't even ask.

314

Alright, and here we go.

315

Macari and cheese.

316

Fucking Christ, you burning me.

317

You burned us with your pepper.

318

I feel like missing provolone.

319

Provolone is literally the mildest cheese, it's just there for texture.

320

Alright, that's it.

321

If you want to buy this apartment, Nick, how do they do it?

322

There will be a link in the description for the property if you want to come see it.

323

And if not, there's also links to follow me and Matteo on social media.

324

Come see me on tour, the al dente tour, Matteolaincom.com, and I have merch.

325

And, uh, yeah.

326

Thank 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.
