This is gonna be so fun.
2
We're studying seven English conversations and you're going to be speaking.
3
Tons of English speaking practice here.
4
When you're learning another language, you just need to speak it as much as you can to build that conversational ability.
5
You'll watch a conversation and we'll define any terms you might not know.
6
Then you will be speaking both parts.
7
You need to speak out loud for this.
8
Don't leave me hanging in silence.
9
Then after all the conversations, we'll review the vocabulary and then you can watch them all one more time.
10
I'm Rachel, I have a background in opera singing, and I've been teaching the American accent to non -native speakers for over 20 years.

It will change the way you think about speaking American English.
13
In the first conversation, you owe a friend money from a trip.
14
Hey, I just wanted to remind you that you still owe me money for the hotel in Cancun.
15
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for reminding me, it totally slipped my mind.
16
If something slips your mind, that just means you forgot.
17
No problem.
18
Do you have Venmo.
19
Venmo is an app popular in the United States for sending money to your friends.
20
Yes, I do.
21
What's your handle?
22
A handle is a unique username for an app.
23
For example, on Instagram, my handle is Rachel's English.
24
I'll text it to you.
25
Okay, thanks.
26
I will get on that.
27
I will pay you right away.
28
Now, we need to have you practice speaking.
29
I'll play person one, And you play person two.
30
I'll put on screen the text for you to say out loud.
31
Hey, I just wanted to remind you that you still owe me money for the hotel in Cancun.
32
No problem.
33
Do you have Venmo?
34
I'll text it to you.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for reminding me.

40
Okay, thanks.
41
I will get on that.
42
I will pay you right away.
43
Now you're calling a friend who broke her foot to offer help.
44
Hey Jane, I heard you broke your foot.
45
Can you believe it?
46
I tripped on the stairs.
47
Oh my gosh, are you immobilized?
48
Immobilized means prevented from moving normally.
49
Yeah, I'm in a boot and I'm non -weight -bearing for six to eight weeks.
50
Non -weight -bearing means I can't stand or walk on my foot.
51
Wow, how can we help?
52
Would it be helpful for us to take Tim to school?
53
We've got most days covered, but actually it would be great if you could take him on Friday.
54
Great, no problem.
55
7 .30 okay?
56
That's perfect, he'll be all ready to go.
57
Thank you so much.
58
Perfect.
59
Now we need to have you practice speaking.

75
Thank you so much.
76
Do you love babies as much as I do?
77
Hey, we want to come by to meet the new baby.
78
Would Sunday work?
79
Oh my gosh, that's so sweet.
80
Yeah, we have nothing planned.
81
Does one work for you?
82
Yes, we want to bring some food for you guys.
83
Are there any dietary restrictions or foods you absolutely hate.
84
A dietary restriction is a food that you cannot have because you have an allergy to it, or maybe you've chosen not to, like if you're vegan.
85
I don't have any food allergies, but I can think of a peanut allergy, or maybe someone who's lactose intolerant.
86
Those people would have dietary restrictions.
87
No, no restrictions, and we like pretty much everything.
88
Great, we'll see you then.
89
Oh good, I'm so excited for you to meet him.
90
Now, we need to have you practice speaking.
91
I'll play person one, and you play person two.
92
I'll put on screen the text for you to say out loud.
93

99
Oh my gosh, that's so sweet.
100
Yeah, we have nothing planned.
101
Does one work for you?
102
No, no restrictions, and we like pretty much everything.
103
Oh good, I'm so excited for you to meet him.
104
Now you're chatting with a colleague.
105
Hey Rachel, how are you?
106
Great.
107
It is such a relief to be heading into the weekend with The Johnson Project done fun.
108
Heading into is a phrasal verb that means going into something.
109
For example, I was heading into the kitchen when I saw a mouse run across the floor.
110
But we also use it for time, when we're at the beginning of a chunk of time, like heading into the weekend.
111
Or I could say, I'm heading into the summer with no vacation plans.
112
Yeah, totally, you put in so much overtime for that.
113
I did.
114
That was a tight deadline.
115
A deadline is the date at which you need to have something done.
116
A tight deadline is one where you're not sure if you have enough time to complete the task.
117
Tight deadlines are stressful.
118
Now, we need to have you practice speaking.
119
I'll play Person 1, and you play Person 2.
120
I'll put on -screen the text for you to say out loud.
121
Hey Rachel, how are you?
122
Yeah, totally.
123
You put in so much overtime for that.
124
Now, you be person one.
125
Great.
126
It is such a relief to be heading into the weekend with the Johnson Project done.
127
I did.
128
That was a tight deadline.
129
I hope you never lose your job.
130
Hey, how are you?
131
Honestly, not very good.
132
Last week I was laid off.
133
We use the word fired when someone is let go from their job for poor performance or for doing something wrong.
134
But we usually use laid off when it wasn't the person's fault but the company was downsizing or something like that.
135
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
136
Yeah, it's a huge bummer.
137
My whole team was let go.
138
Oh no. So, not doing great today.
139
That's hard.
140
I'm really sorry.
141
Thanks.
142
I'm just taking a few days to lay low and then I'll start looking for work next week.
143
Good luck.
144
Now, we need to have you practice speaking.
145
I'll play person one, and you play person two.
146
I'll put on -screen the text for you to say out loud.
147
Hey, how are you?
148
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
149
Oh no. That's hard, I'm really sorry.
150
Good luck.
151
Now you be person one.
152
Honestly, not very good.
153
Last week I was laid off.
154
Yeah, it's a huge bummer.
155
My whole team was let go.
156
So, not doing great today.
157
Thanks.
158
I'm just taking a few days to lay low, and then I'll start looking for work next week.
159
Now you're calling a babysitter.
160
Hey Dana, I was calling to see if you could babysit on Friday.
161
Why I was calling instead of I am calling sometimes we
162
use the past continuous tense to ask questions I was calling to see
163
if you could babysit I was wondering
164
if you wanted to go out to dinner with me it
165
just adds an extra layer of politeness oh I can't I'm not free
166
that evening you could also decline by saying I'm not available I already have plans
167
or I'm all booked up I am free Saturday evening though I'm sure we can change our reservations.
168
Let's do Saturday.
169
Does seven o 'clock work?
170
It does.
171
Great.
172
Thank you.
173
See you then.
174
You're welcome.
175
Now we need to have you practice speaking.
176

186

188
You're welcome.
189
In our final conversation, you're chatting with a friend about an upcoming trip.
190
So when do you leave for London?
191
Tomorrow night.
192
So you're taking the red eye?
193
A red eye is an overnight flight.
194
Brutal.
195
I cannot sleep on planes.
196
I can, so I'm not worried about that, but the jet lag will be tough.
197
Jet lag is when your body has a hard time adjusting to a new time zone.
198
Well, just douse yourself in lattes your first day.
199
To douse something means to pour liquid over it to soak it.
200
Of course, this is a joke.
201
I don't actually mean to pour lattes on your head.
202
I just mean drink a lot of coffee.
203
I do love a good latte.
204
Then knock yourself out with sleeping pills the first night.
205
To be knocked out means to be made unconscious, like if you got hit in the head with something, but we also use it to describe sleeping very deeply.
206
Yeah, I'll do that.
207
I do want to get on that new time zone quickly since it's such a short trip.
208
Now, we need to have you practice speaking.
209
I'll play person 1, and you play person 2.
210
I'll put on -screen the text for you to say out loud.

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.
