Creating lesson...
1
I believe we must have some conversation, Mr. Darcy.
2
A very little will suffice.
3
You should say something about the dance, perhaps.
4
I might remark on the number of couples.
5
- You talk by rule, then, when you're dancing? - Yes, sometimes it is best.
6
Then we may enjoy the advantage of saying as little as possible.
7
Do you consult your own feelings in this case, or seek to gratify mine?
8
Both, I imagine.
9
We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room.
10
This is no very striking resemblance of your own character, I'm sure.
11
- Do you often walk into Meryton? - Yes, quite often.
12
When you met us the other day, we had just been forming a new acquaintance.
13
Mr. Wickham has the happy manners that enable him to make friends.
14
Whether he is equally capable of keeping them is less certain.
15
He has been unlucky as to lose your friendship in a way he's likely to suffer from all his life.
16
Allow me to congratulate you, sir! Such superior dancing is rarely to be seen.
17
I'm sure your fair partner is well worthy of you.
18
I hope to have this pleasure often repeated.
19
Especially when a certain desirable event takes place.
20
Eh, Miss Lizzy?
21
- What congratulations will then flow in! - Sir, I...
22
I understand. I'll not detain you one moment longer from your bewitching partner.
23
A pleasure, sir. Capital! Capital!
24
I remember hearing you once say that you hardly ever forgave.
25
That your resentment once created was implacable.
26
You are careful, are you not, in allowing your resentment to be created?
27
I am. And never allow yourself to be blinded by prejudice?
28
I hope not.
29
May I ask to what these questions tend?
30
Merely to the illustration of your character. I'm trying to make it out.
31
- And what is your success? - I do not get on at all.
32
I hear such different accounts of you as to puzzle me exceedingly.

About This Lesson

You're practicing English with "Lizzy's dance with Mr. Darcy - Pride & Prejudice (1995) subs ES/PT-BR" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.

Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.

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.
