Common Pronunciation Traps

  • Words like “dough” and “knead”: These terms are related to pizza-making but can be challenging due to their unique sounds. Practice repeating them, focusing on the vowel sounds.
  • Phrases like “pizza on his head”: The rhythm and intonation can differ from typical speech patterns, especially when emphasizing humor, making it a fun challenge.

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.
