1
Hi there, and welcome back to ABC Learning English.
2
Today, we're going to practice English in a powerful way, by listening to a real emotional story.
3
First, just relax and listen.
4
There won't be any subtitles, and that's okay.
5
Let the pictures and emotions guide your understanding.
6
Then, we'll train together step by step, speaking, shadowing, and...
7
Hey, I just needed to say this out loud.
8
Maybe to clear my head, or maybe to forgive myself a little.
9
Yesterday morning, I missed my job interview.
10
Yeah.
11
The one I spent weeks preparing for.
12
The one I told everyone about.
13
But I missed it because I forgot to charge my phone.
14
I know how it sounds.
15
Small. But that tiny mistake.
16
It cost me something big.
17
The night before, I was so tired.
18
I had been studying interview questions all day, ironing my shirt, rehearsing answers in front of the mirror.
19
I even imagined the handshake.
20
Firm but not too firm.
21
I felt ready.
22
But somewhere between finishing my notes and falling asleep, I forgot one thing.
23
To plug in my phone.
24
It died during the night.
25
No alarm.
26
No notifications.
27
Nothing.
28
I woke up three hours late.
29
At first I thought I was dreaming.
30
You know that moment when your body jolts awake but your mind is still foggy?
31
I saw the sun through the window.
32
It was too bright.
33
Too high.
34
And then I saw the time.
35
10.41 AM.
36
The interview was at 9.
37
Across town.
38
I just sat there.
39
In my bed.
40
Frozen.
41
I didn't scream.
42
I didn't cry.
43
I just...stared.
44
I picked up my dead phone like it might explain itself.
45
It didn't.
46
I plugged it in, hoping for a miracle.
47
No missed calls.
48
No second chances.
49
I wanted to scream at someone, but it was just me.
50
Me and one stupid mistake.
51
My mom knocked on the door, asking how it went.
52
I said I'd tell her later.
53
I didn't.
54
I walked outside.
55
Needed air.
56
But the world kept spinning.
57
People walked their dogs, kids laughed at the park, and I was just this guy who overslipped.
58
It's funny, isn't it?
59
One little thing, a phone charger, can become a turning point.
60
All that effort, undone by forgetting to plug in a cable.
61
I keep replaying it.
62
What if I double checked?
63
What if I set a backup alarm on my watch?
64
What if.. what if.. but there's no rewind button,
65
no magic fix, just silence.
66
And that heavy feeling in your chest, the one that says, you messed up?
67
I know it's not the end of the world.
68
I know other chances will come.
69
People say that all the time.
70
But right now, it feels like I let myself down.
71
Not because I failed the interview, but because I never even showed up.
72
That's the part that hurts the most.
73
So I guess I just needed to say it.
74
To be honest about it.
75
Not for sympathy, but maybe for closure.
76
If you're listening to this, and you've ever missed something important, not because you didn't care,
77
but because you're human, then maybe you get it.
78
We all forget things, sometimes.
79
We all make mistakes.
80
And sometimes we pay for them.
81
But maybe the point isn't to be perfect.
82
Maybe it's just to learn.
83
To feel the weight of it.
84
And keep going anyway.
85
Tomorrow I'll set two alarms.
86
And I won't forget the charger.
87
Tonight, I'll let myself feel it.
88
All of it.
89
Thanks for listening.
90
Now it's your turn.
91
I'll say one sentence at a time.
92
You repeat after me.
93
Don't worry about being perfect.
94
Just copy my rhythm and feeling.
95
Let's speak from the heart.
96
The mist alarm.
97
The mist alarm.
98
Hey, I just needed to say this out loud.
99
Maybe to clear my head or maybe to forgive myself a little.

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.
