Création de la leçon...
1
Hi everybody, welcome back.
2
This video is very very special.
3
I'll tell you why.
4
Because we have never spoken and today we are going to talk.
5
Alright, so this is the fun idea.
6
This video is a dialogue between me and you.
7
We are going to be talking today.
8
But don't worry, don't worry.
9
I am not going to put any pressure on you.
10
The dialogues are going to be displayed on the screen so that you have no pressure, you're stress-free and at the same time you're talking with me.
11
But do not forget to give proper expression when we're talking.
12
Okay, so this is how this video is going to progress from here.
13
I'm going to be saying a sentence and then once I am done,
14
you will say a sentence and then I'm going to respond in my own sentence and then you're going to talk.
15
All right.
16
So it's going to be a proper dialogue.
17
You and me conversing with each other.
18
All right.
19
All these dialogues are going to be displayed on the screen.
20
And when you are talking, when your dialogue is on display and you are the one doing the talking, I'm going to be, I'm going to be shutting up.
21
Okay.
22
And I will wait for you to complete your sentence so that we can go on with the dialogue.
23
Trust me, you're going to really enjoy this exercise and I've made sure that you learn some good vocabulary through this dialogue.
24
It's not going to be really long, but the dialogue is fun.
25
I have kept this in mind that the entire script that we are going to be talking today is fun,
26
is entertaining, you enjoy, and at the same time, you learn a lot.
27
So if you are by chance surrounded with people, I'll ask you to probably pause the video, go to your room, sit alone, and then you talk with me,
28
because that's how it's going to be most fun.
29
Also, another very important thing is that you have to speak out loud.
30
You don't have to say the words in your mind or you don't have to murmur them.
31
Don't murmur them.
32
Speak them out loud the way I am talking right now.
33
So it's better you close the door because you don't know.
34
Your mom would think, okay, she started to talk to herself now.
35
No, we don't want that.
36
So let's start.
37
So this is what this fun dialogue is about.
38
It's between two friends who are catching up after a few months.
39
All right.
40
And the instructions are very clear.
41
You have to speak out loud.
42
That's number one.
43
And number two is that your expressions have to be best according to you.
44
All right.
45
You decide what is best for you.
46
You are a shy person.
47
Maybe cut it down a little.
48
You are not a very shy person.
49
Bold it out.
50
Say the words the way you want to.
51
But remember, you're talking to Alina.
52
Okay.
53
Alina should not feel bored.
54
You have to talk like that.
55
All right, let's start.
56
So this is what this dialogue is about.
57
It's me talking to you for the first time.
58
So I've written the script in a manner
59
that it is two people who are just about to be getting to know each other.
60
And this is their first dialogue.
61
Okay, because this happens actually to be our first dialogue together.
62
So this is how it is going to be.
63
So let's start with my first line.
64
All right, let's start.
65
Hey there, I don't think we've met before.
66
What's your name?
67
I'm so glad you did.
68
So Aditi, where are you tuning in from?
69
Good call on the cold coffee.
70
I am in Delhi, where it's scorching too.
71
But the food is worth it.
72
You totally should.
73
I'll be your guide.
74
So tell me, what do you do when you're not randomly joining live streams.
75
Ah, the student life.
76
I remember those days.
77
Stress plus snacks is the perfect formula.
78
I have a feeling that's why you ended up here.
79
I try to keep things entertaining.
80
I've always loved talking to new people.
81
One day, I just hit go live and here we are.
82
All the time at first.
83
But it gets easier when you realize everyone's just here to have a good time.
84
You'll do great.
85
Start small, maybe with close friends and build up from there.
86
I love music.
87
I'm learning to play the guitar, though my neighbors might not appreciate it.
88
Hotel California.
89
Classic.
90
My fingertips are so sore, but I'm determined.
91
I'm sure your version of Twinkle Twinkle is top notch.
92
We should do a collaboration sometime. For sure!
93
So Aditi, any big dreams or goals after you finish studying? That sounds amazing.
94
Travel is the best teacher.
95
I hope you get to chase that dream soon.
96
Well, I'm trying to reach more people, make fun content, and maybe host live meetups someday.
97
Deal.
98
And I'll bring the cameras and the guitar.
99
We'll jam live.
100
No worries.
101
We'll build up that confidence of yours first.
102
I try to go live at least once a week.
103
It helps me stay connected with people and share random life updates.
104
That's exactly what I'm aiming for.
105
No pressure, just good conversations.
106
Thank you.
107
Thank you.
108
I'd like to thank my mom, my internet connection, and...
109
Right.
110
They truly deserve a thank you gift.
111
Maybe earplugs?
112
I love trying out new recipes.
113
I am no master chef, but experimenting is half the fun.
114
I tried making diriyani.
115
Let's just say it was more like overcooked pulao.
116
but I'll keep trying.
117
I can live with that.
118
So what about you?
119
Any hidden talents?
120
That's actually awesome.
121
You might need to show off that skill at a future meetup.
122
Challenge accepted.
123
Biryani and whistling coming soon.
124
Assignments can wait a bit longer, right?
125
Or do they hold grudges?
126
Alright, education first, I guess.
127
Before you go, any final questions or requests?
128
Okay, absolutely.
129
You first ask away.
130
Blue, like the sky on a clear day.
131
You?
132
Japan.
133
Cherry blossoms, anime, sushi.
134
You?
135
Pet peeve.
136
People chewing loudly.
137
It drives me nuts.
138
Okay, my turn.
139
What's your comfort food?
140
Good choice.
141
Next, a song you can't stop listening to these days.
142
Lovely track.
143
Last question.
144
What's your weirdest habit?
145
They must be very grateful.
146
You're basically the plant whisperer.
147
I get it.
148
Thanks for popping in and staying so long.
149
I love chatting with you.
150
Yes, ma'am.
151
Good luck with your assignments and see you soon. So that was it.
152
I hope you enjoyed.
153
I really had fun and I actually feel that it was a very meaningful conversation.
154
What do you think?
155
So tell me one question, one question that you'd like to ask if you were actually present in here.
156
Comment below that one question and I'll answer you.
157
I'll see you in the next one.
158
Bye-bye.

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.
