  • Repeat and Expand: After shadowing, try to expand on the conversation. For example, describe your hobbies or explain why you enjoy them, which will further develop your speaking skills.

By incorporating these strategies into your practice sessions, you can significantly improve your English pronunciation, enhance your speaking skills, and build your confidence in discussing hobbies. Happy shadowing!

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.
