Pratique du Shadowing: Travel With English - Slow English Podcast - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
Let me tell you how English changed my life.
2
Growing up without money in my family,
3
but still being able to travel from Mexico to Thailand to Portugal,
4
Brazil, and beyond, all by myself.
5
I wasn't traveling in luxury.
6
Sometimes I didn't know where I was going to stay next month.
7
I only knew that I could teach a couple English lessons and keep going.
8
So, someone asked me in the comments,
9
what do you think you would be if you weren't an English teacher?
10
So today, I'm going to answer that question while telling you the story of how English took me around the world.
11
If this speed is too slow for you,
12
then just speed up the video.
13
So, give yourself a little challenge.
14
First, let's get in to how I became a teacher.
15
My mom and my dad are both English teachers.
16
And when my sister turned 18 years old,
17
she became an English teacher as well.
18
She taught lessons online to students in China.
19
She worked with a company called VipKid,
20
and she could do it with just her TfL certificate. And high school.
21
High school from anywhere in the world.
22
She made a good salary,
23
good money, and she was able to pay for her food and rent in college with that job.
24
Imagine working and studying and affording it all just by teaching.
25
My sister walked so I could run.
26
That's an expression in English.
27
My sister walked so that I could run.
28
It basically means my sister set the path for me to follow.
29
And that's what I did.
30
And I got my TIFL certificate when I was 17 years old.
31
So, the second I turned 18,
32
I knew I wanted to start teaching online as well.
33
Just like my sister did, I started saving money right away,
34
as much as I could.
35
And I was able to move out into my own apartment when I was 18.
36
I moved to Puebla.
37
It's a bigger city outside of the town I grew up in.
38
I lived there working for about a year.
39
But I soon realized I felt stuck.
40
I was getting stuck in a routine that I didn't like.
41
I had always dreamed of traveling since I was little.
42
And that whole year, I was just waiting for someone to travel with.
43
whether that was my sister or my friends.
44
But nobody really wanted to as much as I did.
45
Granted, they were studying in college, but still nobody wanted to travel with me.
46
At this point, I had my laptop, Wi-Fi, and my English classes.
47
I thought, that's all I need.
48
So I decided to take my first solo trip to Tulum, Mexico.
49
And that's when I realized this is exactly what I've been looking for.
50
Connecting, meeting, learning.
51
I came back home feeling more myself than I ever had.
52
That's when I decided to book my next trip to Costa Rica.
53
I volunteered at a hostel in Costa Rica.
54
It was so much fun making friends and seeing beautiful new sites.
55
that when I returned back to Mexico,
56
I knew I was certain I wanted to travel again.
57
And I had always, always dreamed of visiting Thailand one day.
58
Always.
59
lifelong dream.
60
So, one day after saving every penny I had,
61
eating rice, beans, and chickpeas for lunch every day.
62
I finally had enough money to buy my ticket to Thailand.
63
I figured
64
I only need enough for my ticket there
65
because I can work online and get money for my food
66
and my hostels I had to stay at.
67
So, I said goodbye to my family and I boarded my flight to Thailand.
68
The only problem about teaching in
69
Thailand was the time difference between Mexico and Thailand.
70
If I was teaching at 2 p.m in Mexico,
71
that would be 3 a.m in Thailand.
72
It was brutal.
73
Being nocturnal during that time.
74
Staying up until 5 a.m.
75
Teaching.
76
It got to me.
77
Some nights I would cry from exhaustion.
78
I would be so tired.
79
But at the end of the day, my exhaustion didn't matter.
80
I had my freedom and the most amazing experiences traveling alone.
81
I learned a lot about myself just by being by myself, completely alone.
82
In Thailand, I accomplished lots of my lifelong dreams.
83
I got my scuba diving certificate.
84
I saw the Simulan Islands.
85
A true paradise.
86
I lived in pretty sketchy areas and I ate lots of local food.
87
But I managed to continue saving all of the money I got from my English classes
88
and continue scuba diving and continue traveling.
89
I traveled through Cambodia and Vietnam,
90
two places that are even cheaper than Thailand.
91
But somehow, I think from being in such humid countries for so long,
92
being so close to the beach,
93
scuba diving on boats, somehow my computer broke.
94
Now, this was a crucial moment because I didn't have enough money to buy a new one.
95
I only had enough money saved to buy a ticket back home.
96
But it was either spend those savings on a new computer to continue traveling
97
or use those savings to buy my ticket home and then maybe save up for a new computer.
98
and I chose the most responsible option, I think.
99
So, I went back home and I worked on my iPad until I saved up enough to buy a new computer.
100
Then, I saved up some more and I travelled to the UK, Cornwall.
101
I saw this boy that I was dating.
102
I met his family and he showed me all of the beautiful places in Cornwall.
103
But I got antsy.
104
Antsy is when you can't stay still. So I got antsy.
105
I had to move again.
106
I had to travel somewhere new.
107
So I booked a ticket to Portugal.
108
That's where I met the best people while working at a hostel.
109
I worked at reception 20 hours a week.
110
And in exchange, they gave me a free place to sleep and free food.
111
A really good deal, in my opinion.
112
And I also taught English online two
113
or three hours a day to make money and save for my next trip.
114
I had so many fun moments in Portugal.
115
Biking, going to beaches, exploring the city.
116
I adored Portugal.
117
I adored the hostel I worked at.
118
Hostels are a safe space where travelers can connect with each other.
119
I volunteered through Worldpackers.
120
Volunteering saved me thousands of dollars,
121
and English was the reason that I could do it.
122
To communicate, to connect, and to help.
123
It was a requirement to know English, to volunteer at most hostels.
124
Finally, it was time to go home.
125
I booked my ticket to Mexico.
126
And right away, I had another volunteering job scheduled at a turtle sanctuary.
127
My dream place to volunteer at.
128
I had the most wonderful experience,
129
and I met some of the most thought-provoking friends.
130
I loved watching over the turtle nests and making sure the baby turtles made it into the ocean.
131
It was a magical experience that I also found on Worldpackers.
132
Now, after the turtle sanctuary, I was ready to travel again.
133
So, my boyfriend, at the time,
134
invited me to travel to New Zealand with him.
135
To live in a van.
136
I bought my ticket.
137
I bought everything I needed for the winter in New Zealand and I said goodbye to my family.
138
But he called me a few days before leaving and told me he cheated on me.
139
I was destroyed, obviously.
140
But blessings always come out of misfortunes.
141
At least for me, they always do.
142
And I was feeling so sad,
143
so lost one day that I decided to expand my reach and get new students.
144
so I could save more money and travel by myself again.
145
So, I set up my camera
146
and I read a very simple script in slow English.
147
I started the video with hello and welcome back to my Slow English podcast.
148
I posted it and I went to sleep.
149
I woke up to millions of views,
150
all of them saying that I sounded like Maestra Miel, Miss Honey.
151
And they were all saying that they wanted more.
152
And the rest is history.
153
I am so incredibly proud of the community I built.
154
I am so proud of you guys for sticking to your goals
155
and never letting frustration get the best of you.
156
Never letting disappointment get the best of your dreams.
157
I'm not telling you this story to say, oh, look at what I did.
158
And English didn't give me a perfect life.
159
It gave me choices.
160
Maybe your dream isn't to travel.
161
Maybe it's stability, confidence, a better job.
162
English won't magically fix everything,
163
but it can open doors for moments in your life.
164
when things get a little bit scary, when money is tight.
165
Sorry, it was getting too hot in the sun.
166
And to answer your question on what I would be if I wasn't an English teacher,
167
Probably a scuba dive instructor.
168
That used to be my dream job.
169
Or owning a hostel.
170
Because I love hostels.
171
I love the way people connect,
172
share stories, and let go of any prejudices they might have about other people.
173
Or I might have been some other kind of teacher.
174
I love teaching.
175
It's definitely my passion.
176
Passed on to me by my mom and my dad.
177
The two best teachers I know.
178
Don't forget to like and subscribe and never stop learning.
179
Bye.
180

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.
