Shadowing Practice: je réalise son rêve (vraiment) - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well.
2
We'll see you today for a new Vlogtobre.
3
On is the 2 and it is present at 8h40.
4
I'm going to go home at 6h30.
5
Here I charge my car and I arrive in about 1h in Paris.
6
I'm going to take care of it.
7
I first have a meeting this morning at the agency, so I'm going to do it for then to get Téana, my agent.
8
And then we're going to go to my editor's house, because all the beginning of the afternoon,
9
I have interviews and I have to sign the books that you have recommended the version collector, and then I'll sign it directly at the editor's house.
10
We'll pass a good half of the afternoon there.
11
The journey will be quite intense, but it's cool.
12
In addition, I don't even want to show you, but I finally got the final version of the book.
13
You know, sometimes it's a bit frustrating because it's a lot to wait before having the final version of the book.
14
And what's even more frustrating is that it's almost impossible, or it's very very rare, to have a final version of the book before the sortie.
15
Donc en gros on sait à quoi il va ressembler, mais on ne peut pas l 'avoir entre nos mains avant la sortie, ce qui est hyper frustrant.
16
Et en fait là je les ai vus la semaine dernière
17
parce que quand j 'étais à Paris on a tourné un petit truc qui sortira pas tout de suite en fait.
18
Ça sortira pour le jour officiel de la sortie du livre, à savoir le 21 octobre.
19
Et c 'est là que j 'ai découvert le livre pour la première fois.
20
Bon j 'ai une petite larme j 'avoue.
21
J 'étais très heureuse parce qu 'il est magnifique.
22
Je suis hyper contente du rendu, de le voir en vrai.
23
Ça fait quelque chose parce qu 'il est très spécial à
24
mon coeur et puis surtout en fait c 'est un livre
25
tellement différent de tout ce que j 'ai déjà fait que
26
bah ça fait ça fait quelque chose quoi et ça fait
27
trop plaisir de le voir et je suis très très fière, très contente.
28
J 'ai hâte que vous puissiez le recevoir vraiment.
29
J 'ai hâte d 'avoir vos avis, j 'ai hâte de vous voir avec, j 'ai hâte de voir le livre dans vos bibliothèques, enfin vraiment j 'ai hâte quoi.
30
Donc si vous ne l 'avez pas encore précommandé, je vous laisserai deux liens dans la barre d 'infos pour pouvoir le précommander.
31
And in theory, you can recommend it in your library at home too.
32
The rapid charge, it's a crazy thing on my car.
33
For me, it's a normal charge, so it's a bit slow.
34
But the rapid charge on the motorway, it's a crazy thing, really.
35
In 4 seconds, top chrono, I don't have the time to finish my car, because my car is already charged.
36
And then I'll tell you the truth, with the price of the essence in this moment, I'm very happy to have an electric car it's less expensive.
37
And above all, it's much less stress de ne pas savoir combien tu vas payer à la fin, j 'avoue, en fonction de la période, etc. Et vu qu 'en ce moment, c 'est complètement catastrophique.
38
Finalement, l 'électrique est une bonne option actuellement.
39
Bon, vous allez me dire que ça a toujours des contraintes, et je dis pas le contraire.
40
Ce produit de chez Tarte, je vous en parle tout le temps sur TikTok.
41
Je le termine bientôt.
42
Je suis au bout de ma vie.
43
C 'est vraiment une teinte que j 'adore.
44
C 'est la teinte Toasted Coconut.
45
Je l 'adore vraiment.
46
Je pense que c 'est mon blush préféré de ces derniers temps, et ça faisait longtemps que je n 'avais pas fait un petit road trip toute seule de trois heures.
47
Bah ça fait du bien, je peux vous dire que ça me laisse vraiment le temps de cogiter, de réfléchir.
48
Ces derniers temps j 'étais tellement la tête dans le guidon
49
avec tout ce qu 'il fallait faire etc. De toute façon
50
en vrai depuis quelques mois ma vie c 'est un peu
51
vraiment à 4000 à l 'heure et j 'ai un peu
52
de mal à trouver le temps de penser à autre chose qu 'au travail.
53
Et quand tu conduis tu peux pas bosser factuellement.
54
Alors oui tu peux penser à des trucs pour le taf
55
mais tu peux pas vraiment bosser et du coup je sais
56
pas mais ça me fait vraiment du of letting my imagination think about something and everything, I have the impression that finally I have a kind of dévidoir for my brain,
57
and that I really don't do that when I drive.
58
It really allows me to just relax and think about nothing.
59
And it's very good for the health of the brain, I would like to do it more often, but it happens that when I take the wheel, so I don't want to make the tour of France to think about it.
60
But well, I'm finished of preparing and then we have no time left.
61
I made the most hard.
62
The morning when it When there are 150 .000 people who work and who drive like crazy people, yes, I'm a rage, a gross rage of the road, it's me!
63
Well, in fact, there are a lot of things that are left
64
because there was a lot of things in my cashier that I made for a lottery at the event.
65
I made the entirety of my cashier.
66
I wanted to participate in the cause, but there are still little things, and there There is a rack with,
67
I have the impression, the new T -Glitch and also some other products, Dr. Jart, some parfums, so we're going to occupy this.
68
I always leave the products in the room because we don't know.
69
So here I always leave a small gamme.
70
But this I don't occupy.
71
This is great, it's the vinyl of Electric Cowboy.
72
I'm so happy.
73
I have tons of Celsius, but I leave it there.
74
I think it's a calendar of the avant.
75
Blissing already?
76
We are in October.
77
It's the perfume Killian.
78
It's the perfume Killian Midnight Espresso that I wanted to share and it's a little too.
79
But there's something for...
80
Oh!
81
Oh!
82
Oh!
83
Les filles.
84
Quelqu 'un veut un kit cocktail ?
85
Oh!
86
Oh la la.
87
Oh la la.
88
Après moi, moi ça j 'aime bien.
89

110
Nana is really the only one who brings these tongs to the gym, in fact.
111
Look at it, she has really these tongs.
112
But she has a barrack, but she has these tongs, but she has these tongs, well, we don't forget that she is Tahitian.
113
And I forgot to tell you, because I haven't vlogged this day, but I gained a distinction, look at it.
114
I'm going to show you.
115
It's true that I didn't have any part, but it was avant -hier, and I even had the chance to dîner next to Pierre Hermé.
116
It was pretty crazy.
117
We are in the parking of the edition of the house, and we are coincées.
118
We are lost.
119
on can't go out.
120
But there it is marked Parking Visitor Teana.
121
There is a door there.
122
It's a bit of an urbex.
123
I was going to say that it's not easy.
124
Teana, look at it.
125
I can't even help.
126
I can't help you.
127
So here I have an interview, but I just ended up eating.
128
I have the head in the cul.
129
It's going to be a coffee.
130
After I have to sign 300 livres.
131
It reminds me of souvenirs, des petits souvenirs de moi en train de faire des signatures de livres à 5000 personnes.
132
J 'avais eu une crampe à la fin.
133
Là c 'est bon, j 'en ai un peu moins à signer, ça devrait bien se passer.
134
À ma grande époque, Téana, j 'avais signé 5000 personnes à la Défense.
135
C 'est choquant.
136
Mais oui, c 'est choquant.
137
Tu travailles avec une star ?
138
Bah ouais, c 'est ce que j 'étais en train de me dire !
139
Je vais me faire mal à toi !
140
Je me suis cognée.
141
T 'es une star ?
142
Mais oui, un peu, ouais.
143
C 'est ce qu 'on me dit, ouais.
144
I'm here, we're here!
145
Look at all these books!
146
But it's all that in fact.
147
I have 300 posters to sign.
148
Rien que ça !
149
Arrêt cardiaque.
150
Arrêt cardiaque, 300 livres à signer.
151
Aller, let's go !
152
Allez c 'est parti !
153
Donc ça en fait c 'est ce que vous recevez dans l 'édition Collector.
154
Donc toutes les personnes qui ont précommandé, je signe ça aujourd 'hui pour vous.
155
Avec toutes ces péripéties, je ne vous ai même pas montré l 'intérieur du livre, simplement parce que je ne l 'avais pas avant pour vous le montrer, donc je vais quand même vous montrer une page au hasard.
156
On tombe là -dessus.
157
La birette.
158
Alors en fait, vous allez voir en gros, il y a des mythes et légendes comme ça, et ensuite vous avez à chaque fois les cartes des régions, so the Grand Est, and at each time,
159
on the Carte des Régions, you have so many legends by place.
160
It's super easy to find out.
161
And also inside, I'm going to try not to spoil it, of course.
162
I even put the Îles Sanguinaires, of course, for my Racines Corse, and I haven't put that for the Corse.
163
I also put Filitos, it's so beautiful.
164
So guys, it is 17h45, I'm still at the bureau.
165
Well, I just went to Theana.
166
After it's going to tap 40 minutes of the bouchon on the periphery.
167
Well, I'm not going to go to Paris.
168
And now I'm waiting because I'm still working before going to the concert of Selene.
169
So I'm going to do a crash test because it's a joke.
170
It's a joke, I don't take drugs.
171
I'm going to test the new Celsius Arctic Vibe.
172
Frozen Berry.
173
Sur 10, je pense que c 'est ma preffe.
174
Franchement, ça goûte le bonbon.
175
C 'est belge de dire ça goûte.
176
C 'est un belgicisme.
177
Tu vois ?
178
Well, it's my favorite.
179
Juliette was in the mood, at the beginning I didn't want it, but in fact, now it's my favorite.
180
Ah yes, it's good.
181
Well, it's rare that I say it on my own.
182
Well, well.
183
I'll explain.
184
With the Celsius, I'm doing propaganda in this agency.
185
So in fact, it's very simple.
186
Nobody knew it.
187
Now everyone knows.
188
It's the propaganda.
189
I've just released the first episode of Vlogto, and I'm already reading your comments.
190
I'm a little excited because I was doing the montage of the vlog
191
because after I'm going to Céline's concert and then after I have three and a half of the road to go home,
192
I think I'm going to go back to 2 hours of the morning.
193
And tomorrow I have an enormous day, because tomorrow I have to turn a lot of stuff, because I already have a big day.
194
So tomorrow and tomorrow it will be a big day.
195
So we're going to try to do the best that we can.
196
It's going to be nice.
197
But it's going to be done.
198
It's going to be better when I'm on the road this evening.
199
All shoot with the video of MaxKyde.
200
But it's true !
201
But I like I like to drive, Téana.
202
But I feel like I'm feeling at least on the motorway with the camions, with the routiers.
203
Normal, it's for me to beat.
204
I'm with the cars and everything.
205
It's for me to beat.
206
I attend that life.
207
The police is supposed to remind me for 25 minutes.
208
I have always no news.
209
I'm going to I'm going to say I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
210
I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
211
I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
212
I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, Céline Dion !
213
Voilà.
214
Là, j 'ai passé toute la journée à Paris et c 'était une grosse journée.
215
Enfin, c 'était une journée très intense dans la mesure où entre la route et les rendez -vous.
216
Mais c 'est cool parce que c 'est galvanisant d 'avoir des journées comme ça.
217
Je choisis aussi de tout condenser dans mes journées.
218
Maintenant, c 'est vrai que là, depuis ce matin, je suis sur la route à Paris.
219
Et en vrai, même si des fois, je me dis que ça serait tellement plus simple pour moi de vivre here because all the opportunities are there, because the brands, because my agency, because the tournages...
220
And there are a lot of things also that I don't do because I simply don't live here.
221
It's a choice, obviously, and sometimes it's a choice that I regret because I say that everything would be easier.
222
And in the same time, when I pass like that as long as intense days here at Paris...
223
I know that if I lived there, it would not be the same type of day, but when I'm aware of it, I think that I would be very happy to live here all the time because the city I find very stressful,
224
there's nothing to do, the people I find very stressful and I don't find the tranquility of life that I can have at Bruxelles.
225
And in fact, I think that I'm just not at all for living in Paris, or in any case, if it's the case, not very long, because I think that everyone has a date of expiration to Paris,
226
except if it's Parisian of Souches.
227
I know there are many people who come to live here for work, because obviously there are many opportunities, but sometimes I think it's also good to ask the question de ce qui compte le plus.
228
Est -ce que c 'est son travail ou est -ce que c 'est sa qualité de vie ?
229
Parce que je vous assure que des fois, c 'est à se demander vraiment ce qui compte le plus.
230
Et quand je vois les gens qui vivent à Paris et à quel point ils se grillent de fatigue, de stress, etc., est -ce que ça vaut vraiment la peine ?
231
Je ne sais pas.
232
En tout cas, c 'est la réflexion que je me suis faite tout à l 'heure en conduisant.
233
Après, je sais, je vais vraiment prendre le pire exemple et je suis sûre qu 'il y a plein de gens qui vivent à Paris, qui adorent leur ville, etc. Moi je pense que ça dépend vraiment d 'où tu vis à Paris, si tu as la voiture,
234
etc. Mais tout à l 'heure je conduisais sur le périph parisien et je me disais mais putain, enfin déjà c 'est hyper dangereux et en plus de ça mais pitié quoi.
235
Pitié genre, enfin qu 'est -ce que c 'est que cette ville ?
236
En fait Céline Dion, je suis sûre que c 'est le genre d 'artiste qui, si c 'est pas de ta génération,
237
en fait tu connais beaucoup plus de morceaux d 'elle que ce que tu crois.
238
En fait je suis sûre qu 'il va se passer ce
239
moment au concert où je vais dire mais oui je connais ça.
240
30 fois pendant le concert.
241
J 'en suis sûre.
242
Je suis sûre que c 'est ce qui va se passer.
243
Je me le souhaite, sinon le concert va être un peu long.
244
Clairement, ça va être un petit pas long.
245
Moi, j 'ai retrouvé Emu Lai.
246
En fait, j 'ai oublié que c 'était la Fashion Week.
247
Et là, il y a Nara Smith juste derrière moi.
248
Je suis tranquille.
249
Je suis à deux voies de croquer une petite recette.
250
En fait, tu ne connais pas Nara Smith, mais tu sais, je suis sûre que tu l 'as déjà vu passer sur TikTok.
251
C 'est elle qui fait des recettes de cuisine, tout le temps étant hyper apprêtée.
252
You've never seen it?
253
No. I've never seen it.
254
She's very beautiful.
255
She's very beautiful.
256
And in real, she's...
257
She's hurling.
258
She's hurling.
259
She's hurling.
260
She's hurling.
261
She's hurling.
262
Okay, it's Céline.
263
It's Céline.
264
It's Céline.
265
She's hurling.
266
Emily has discovered the scene.
267
I swear that we are extremely well placed.
268
Look at this.
269
Emily's dream.
270
But no, but no. We're going to put it here.
271
It's beautiful, isn't it?
272
It's incredible.
273
It's crazy.
274
It's really that Emily can take the cards at the concert of Céline. But now it's crazy.
275
We're waiting for Céline.
276
I'm so excited!
277
I'm going to see you in the background.
278
We're going to see you in the background.
279
We're going to see you in the background.

294
I love you, I love you I love you I will never be able to rentre chez moi.
295
But if you want to rentre.
296
But yes, it's going to be fine.
297
It's going to be fine.
298
It's going to be fine.
299
I've even bought a shirt.
300
Really, Céline, I love you.
301
Céline, I love you.
302
But 50 balles the shirt, Céline, it's not okay.
303
Céline, it's not okay.
304
We're on the road, trying to charge the car.
305
It's also going to show you the vlog that you are watching before I leave.
306
At least in the way I can.
307
Concerts of Céline, listen to Céline rien à dire c 'était impressionnant j 'ai
308
juste eu deux trois moments de fou rire parce qu 'en
309
fait Céline Dion mais quelle tragédienne dans tous les sens du
310
terme enfin vraiment quand elle est là elle fait son show
311
et tout après il y avait des trucs qui m 'ont
312
fait beaucoup rire parce que elle a beaucoup d 'émotions qu
313
'elle vit pleinement mais tu sens que vraiment c 'est une
314
diva quoi elle m 'a fait rire par moments c 'était
315
en fait je savais pas si je regardais un concert ou si je regardais vraiment genre une star.
316
Je sais pas comment vous expliquer, mais vraiment genre les mimiques, les expressions, les émotions, tu sais jamais.
317
En tout cas c 'était cool et c 'est tout ce que je retiens franchement.
318
Je connaissais vraiment beaucoup plus que ce que j 'imaginais et surtout c 'était trop cool de faire ça avec Emilie.
319
Donc très très contente en fait d 'avoir vu Céline Dion.
320
Voilà c 'est pas tous les jours, c 'est une fois dans la vie et je suis contente de l 'avoir fait, je suis contente de l 'avoir vu.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
