  • Shadowing: Listen carefully to the speaker and try to repeat the phrases immediately after they are said. This technique can significantly help you improve English pronunciation and build confidence in using medical vocabulary.
  • Speed Control: If you find the speaker too fast, use a shadowing app to slow down the playback speed. This feature allows you to catch every word without feeling overwhelmed.

  • Record Yourself: After practicing, record your voice and compare it to the original audio. This way, you can hear areas for improvement and track your progress over time.
  • Regular Practice: Consistency is key. Aim to practice regularly using English videos related to medical terminology to expand your vocabulary and enhance your understanding of the context.

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.
