63
I work for Pearson Hartley.

75
Throw them off.
4:51.06 – 4:52.18 (1.1s)
76
I mean, what kind of drug dealer asks a cop what time it is when he's got a briefcase full of pot, right?
4:51.58 – 4:56.98 (5.4s)
77
We should hire you.
4:56.66 – 4:58.94 (2.3s)
78
Jesus, I'd give you the 25 grand as a signing bonus.
4:59.04 – 5:02.52 (3.5s)

I'll take it.
5:02.12 – 5:03.74 (1.6s)
80
Unfortunately, we only hire from Harvard.
5:04.42 – 5:07.18 (2.8s)
81
And you not only did not go to Harvard Law School, you haven't even gone to any law school.
5:06.42 – 5:12.94 (6.5s)
82
What if I told you that I consume knowledge like no one you've ever met, and I've actually passed the bar?

83
I'd say you're full of crap.
5:18.06 – 5:20.68 (2.6s)

Playing hearts.
6:33.22 – 6:35.28 (2.1s)
102
Sorry.
6:36.34 – 6:36.90 (0.6s)
103
If you want to beat me, you're gonna have to do it at something else.
6:36.90 – 6:39.30 (2.4s)
104
How can you know all that?
6:38.64 – 6:41.11 (2.5s)
105
I told you, I like to read.
6:40.23 – 6:43.11 (2.9s)
106
And once I read something, I understand it.

This is hard work, long hours, high pressure.
8:03.43 – 8:07.41 (4.0s)
123
I need a grown goddamn man.
8:06.71 – 8:09.51 (2.8s)

You give me this, and I will work as hard as it takes to school those Harvard douches and become the best lawyer you have ever seen.
8:10.89 – 8:17.35 (6.5s)
125
I'm inclined to give you a shot, but what if I decide to go another way?
8:17.13 – 8:21.07 (3.9s)
126
I'd say that's fair.
8:20.09 – 8:22.35 (2.3s)

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.

Comment pratiquer efficacement sur ShadowingEnglish

  1. Choisissez votre vidéo : Choisissez une vidéo YouTube avec un anglais clair et naturel. Les TED Talks, BBC News, scènes de films, podcasts sont parfaits. Collez l'URL dans la barre de recherche.
  2. Écoutez d'abord, comprenez le contexte : La première fois, gardez la vitesse à 1x et écoutez simplement. Ne répétez pas encore. Concentrez-vous sur la compréhension du sens.
  3. Configurez le mode Shadowing :
    • Mode d'attente : Choisissez +3s ou +5s — après chaque phrase, la vidéo se met automatiquement en pause pour que vous puissiez répéter.
    • Sync sous-titres : Les sous-titres YouTube peuvent parfois être décalés. Utilisez ±100ms pour les aligner.
  4. Faites du Shadowing à voix haute (la pratique essentielle) : Dès qu'une phrase est jouée — ou pendant la pause — répétez-la à voix haute, clairement et avec confiance. Imitez le rythme, les accents et l'intonation du locuteur.
  5. Augmentez le défi : Une fois à l'aise avec un passage, augmentez la vitesse à <code>1.25x</code> ou <code>1.5x</code>. Pratiquez 15 à 30 minutes par jour pour des résultats visibles en quelques semaines.
