Before we begin, let me give you a quick snapshot of Gabriel's evening in Lyon.
23
It's a warm July night and Gabriel is sitting at his small desk, finishing off an entry on his travel blog
24
He smiles as he writes that he has got his heart set on exploring British cities, especially Liverpool.
25
Visiting Penny Lane is right at the top of his bucket list.
26
He admits he's itching to discover more of the UK, that he can't wait to practice his English again,
27
and that he's counting down the days to his trip.
28
All right.
29
It's time for the vocabulary breakdown.
30
Our first phrase is to have your heart set on.
31
something.
32
If you have your heart, H -E -A -R -T, Set on something,
33
then it means you deeply desire that thing and you're determined to make it happen.
34
This phrase is deeply emotional.
35
It expresses a prolonged feeling.
36
It's a long -term desire.
37
Here's an example.
38
She has her heart set on studying abroad next year.
39
Next, we have bucket list.
40
A bucket list.
41
This is a noun.
42
Bucket.
43
B -U -C -K -E -T.
44
A bucket list is a list of things that you dream of doing at least once in your lifetime.
45
Usually big, meaningful experiences like swimming with dolphins or travelling to another country.
46
Here's an example.
47
Seeing the Northern Lights is on my bucket list.
48
Next, we have the phrase 'be itching to'.
49
Be itching to...
50
Itching we spell I -T -C -H -I -N -G.
51
If you are itching to do something, then you have a strong,
52
restless urge to do something and to do it soon.
53
For example, I'm itching to try that new restaurant.
54
Next, we have the phrase, can't wait to.
55
Can't wait to.
56
Notice how I pronounce can't with a long vowel.
57
Ah, I can't wait to... Do something.
58
If you can't wait to do something, then you feel happy and impatient because something good is coming very soon.
59
For example, I can't wait to visit my friend this weekend.
60
Next and last on today's vocabulary breakdown, we have be counting down the days to.
61
Be counting down the days to.
62
If you are counting down the days to something, then you are actively waiting for a future event.
63
often using a calendar or mentally tracking time.

65
OK, that's our vocabulary breakdown, so listen out for those items once again as we head into storytime.
66
Gabriel Morel, a 24 -year -old Media and Communication Studies graduate from France,
67
is reading his blog at his small desk at his parents' home in Lyon on a mild July evening.

69
and now he was looking forward to his reward.
70

71
is right at the top of my bucket list, he says, smiling.
72
My uncle listens almost exclusively to British music, and thanks to that, I love it too.
73
He got this from his mother, my maternal grandmother, who came to Lyon to teach English and experience Europe in the 70s.
74
She passed away last year.
75
Gabriel pauses for a moment and adjusts his headphones feeling the emotion?
76
She was from London and we used to go there sometimes when I was a child,
77
but we never really checked out the rest of the country.
78
So I'm itching.
79
to discover more about it.
80
I'm a quarter English
81
and ever since Brexit I've been dying to go to the UK to find out
82
if British people really are happier to be more removed from Europe.
83
How will they treat a proud European like me?
84
It will be all interesting for my future studies and career, but also for myself personally.
85

86

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
