Practice Tips
When using this transcript for your shadowing practice, focus on the tone and speed of Al Pacino's delivery. His speech is energetic and full of passion, which is essential to replicate in your own voice. Here are some tips to help you:

- Repetition is Key: Repeat the same phrases multiple times until you feel comfortable with the pronunciation and the flow. Consistency in your practice will improve your English pronunciation over time.
By integrating these techniques into your practice routine, you’ll sharpen your speaking skills while gaining confidence in using English expressively and authentically.
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.
