Learn English through stories, with shadowing and conversation.

Perrine and her mother were walking a long, long way.

They were traveling from a distant country back to France, to a small town called Maracourt.

Perrine was a young, smart and brave girl.

Her mother was very sick and tired.

They had almost no money, and they slept wherever they could find a safe place.

Perrine's father had died, and her mother wanted to return to Maracore because Perrine's grandfather lived there.

His name was Mr Wolfram Payne de Voyne.

He was a rich and very strict factory owner, but he did not know they were coming.

Sadly, before they reached their final destination, Perrine's mother became too ill and passed away.

Perrine was left all alone in the world.

With a heavy heart, she promised her mother to be strong and keep going.

She continued the difficult walk to Maricor all by herself When Perrine finally arrived in Maricor she was dirty,

tired and hungry She found the big factory that belonged to her grandfather but she did not tell anyone who she was

She knew that her grandfather was angry with her parents long ago, so she decided to be careful.

Perrine needed to find food and a place to sleep.

She found a small hidden cave near a pond and she made it her secret little home.

To survive, she worked hard.

She used her clever hands to make small things and she helped people in the village.

Slowly people began to like her because she was kind, honest and very hard -working.

Perrine wanted to get closer to her grandfather to understand him better.

She went to the big factory and applied for a job.

Because she spoke English and French very well, and because she was so smart, she got a job working in the factory office.

She worked under a fake name, Aurelie.

Even though she worked hard every day, she always kept a close eye on her grandfather, Mr Wolfram.

He was an old, lonely man, who looked very sad and angry all the time.

He did not have anyone to love him.

Perrine felt sorry for him and wanted to help him heal his lonely heart.

Perrine was not only smart, she was also very creative.

She built a little wooden cart, helped sick animals and always tried to make the workers' lives better.

Everyone in the factory started to respect Aurelie.

One day, Mr. Wolfram noticed this special young girl.

He saw how hard she worked and how honest she was.

Slowly, the old man started to trust her.

He even asked her to become his personal assistant and help him read and write letters.

Perrine was very happy because she was finally close to her grandfather, but she still kept her true identity a secret.

She wanted him to love her for who she was, not just because she was his granddaughter.

Mr. Wolfram's health was not very good and he was very sad because he thought he had no family left.

Perrine took great care of him.

She made his room brighter, gave him good advice, and brought joy back into his big, cold house.

One day, Mr. Wolfram found out the amazing truth.

He discovered that Aurelie was actually Perrine, his very own granddaughter.

He saw the old papers, her mother's things, and the striking resemblance in her eyes.

The old strict factory owner cried tears of joy.

He realised that the wonderful girl who had helped him

and brought light into his dark life was his own flesh and blood.

From that day on, Perrine was no longer lonely.

She lived a happy life with her grandfather, and they used their wealth to help all the kind workers and friends in Marocco.

Now let's do some shadowing together.

Listen carefully and repeat each sentence naturally with me.

Kindness can change even the hardest heart.

Love sometimes finds us when we least expect it.

Every difficult journey begins with one brave step.

Small acts of kindness can change someone's life forever.

Family is not only about the past, but also about forgiveness.

Courage means moving forward even when you feel alone.

Now, let's listen to Olivia and Harry talk about the story and some of the key words from it.

hello everyone welcome back to english natively the podcast where we learn english naturally through wonderful stories i'm olivia

and i'm harry it's absolutely brilliant to have you with us again we've just finished listening to

that beautiful slightly heartbreaking story narrated by our lovely colleague margaret

you look a bit emotional there harry do you need a tissue Just a tiny bit.

Perrine's journey is so tragic at the start, isn't it?

Losing both her parents like that.

It really is a tearjerker.

The story we just heard, Perrine's Journey, is based on the famous French novel En Femme by Hector Melot.

It's actually so popular globally that it was turned into a massive anime series in the late 1970s.

Really?

That just shows how universal the story is.

A brave young girl overcoming tragedy and eventually finding her place.

But I loved how clever she was.

She went undercover as Aurelie.

Yes, she wanted her grumpy grandfather, Mr. Volfren, to love her for her true character, not just out of family obligation.

Also, did you notice?

Being bilingual literally saved her life.

She got the office job because she spoke English and French well.

A lovely little message for our English natively listeners.

Learning English definitely opens doors for you.

Exactly.

Now, Margaret's reading was packed with some wonderful everyday English phrases.

Let's look at a few, shall we?

Let's get into it.

In chapter one, it says, With a heavy heart, she promised her mother to be strong and keep going.

A heavy heart is a beautiful idiom.

It means doing something with a lot of sadness, as if sorrow is a physical weight inside your chest.

For example, With a heavy heart, I sold my childhood home.

Spot on.

And right after that.. she promises to keep going.

This simply means to not stop, even when things are incredibly difficult.

Like learning English grammar.

Sometimes it's tough, but you just have to keep going.

Now, jumping to chapter three, the story says Perrine always kept a close eye on her grandfather.

To keep a close eye on someone or something means to watch them very carefully.

Like if I'm cooking, I might say, Olivia, keep an eye on this soup so it doesn't burn.

100

Or, Harry, keep a close eye on your puppy so he doesn't chew my best shoes again.

101

Oops, point taken.

102

Sorry about the shoes.

103

Let's quickly move on to chapter five before you get angry.

104

The big reveal.

105

All right, Mr Volfren sees a striking resemblance in Perrine's eyes.

106

This means two people look incredibly similar.

107

It's so obvious that it strikes or hits you.

108

You can't miss it.

109

Like me and my dad.

110

We have the exact same nose.

111

And finally, Mr Wolfram realises she's his flesh and blood.

112

Flesh and blood is a very common expression for your family or relatives.

113

It emphasises that deep biological human connection.

114

He realised he wasn't alone anymore.

115

He had his flesh and blood right there with him.

116

A true happy ending.

117

A brilliant story and some fantastic vocabulary today.

118

Let's do a really quick recap for our listeners.

119

Great idea.

120

Number one, with a heavy heart, meaning feeling very sad.

121

Number two, keep going, meaning don't stop despite difficulties number three keep a close eye

122

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
