Shadowing Practice: Ma routine du matin en français 🍵 - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Bonjour, bienvenue dans une nouvelle vidéo.
2
J'espère que vous allez bien.
3
Aujourd'hui, je vais vous montrer ma routine du matin.
4
Je vais vous montrer ce que j'aime faire le matin.
5
Le matin, c'est vraiment un de mes moments préférés de la journée et j'aime bien prendre mon temps.
6
Je me réveille en général vers 7 heures.
7
J'ai un réveil à 7 heures sur mon téléphone.
8
Parfois, I wake up before the wake, but we will say that in general I wake up at 7 hours.
9
And the first thing I do is to rinse my face and put a cream hydratant.
10
I'm going to drink water
11
and I like to take my time, I sit on the bed,
12
I read a book, I read a book and I take my time like that for a half hour, for 30 minutes.
13
After about 30 minutes reading a book and drinking water, I prepare myself a coffee.
14
I'm just going to make them easy.
15
I'm so sorry.
16
I have a little coffee.
17
And in the morning I love to sit in the garden at the sun, brown a little with the sun.
18
It's a great day.
19
And as you can see, I'm not the only one to bronze this morning.
20
I'm not all alone.
21
It's already about 1 hour that I'm awake, I read, I drank water,
22
I drank a coffee and now I'm going to do a little sport As I explained in my last video,
23
I try to do sport regularly.
24
For me, the best way to do sport regularly is to do a little bit of sport every day
25
and to do it in the morning.
26
Because if I do not do it in the morning, there are many chances that I do not do it at all.
27
So I try every morning at 8h to do about 15-20 minutes of sport.
28
So it is 8 hours, I don't want to do sport, but I know that once I start, it's fine.
29
And then more quickly on starts, more quickly on ends.
30
So I'm going to put my clothes in the sport and we're going to do a little exercise.
31
I'm going to put my clothes in the sport.
32
Today I'm going to do a cardio.
33
it was also one of my advice in the video on the habits, it is to decide in advance what I'm going to do as a session.
34
So I decided yesterday that I would do a session of cardio, so this morning I don't ask questions,
35
everything is planned, at 8h I do a session of cardio in the salon, and we don't ask questions.
36
For my sport, I like to use the website and the internet Train Sweat It,
37
which was created by a YouTube French YouTuber called CCMUA.
38
So if you want to do sports in French, I recommend you to go to her YouTube channel.
39
She also has a internet website with a pay subscription, with sports programs.
40
And I love a lot of her website.
41
And I love to do short sessions.
42
So I'm going to do a quarter of 20 minutes of cardio.
43
Let's go!
44
I'm done!
45
It was great, it was only 16 minutes of cardio, but it was enough for me.
46
Franchement, a quarter of an hour, 20 minutes max of sport the morning, it was perfect.
47
I was well breathing.
48
It was hard, but it was good.
49
And now I'm going to take a shower.
50
The morning in the shower, I'm going to finish with a cold water.
51
after I feel super well.
52
So I'm going to get down and I'll see you later.
53
I'll see you later.
54
I've done my sport, I've been douched, I've been dressed and now I'm going to do a little meditation.
55
The meditation is also an habit that I try to do regularly.
56
And as for the sport, if I don't do it the morning, there are many chances that I don't do it at all.
57
So I prefer I can do 10 minutes of meditation.
58
I like to use the application 7mind, which I have already talked about several times, to do a guided meditation.
59
I start by sitting in a way straight and without that it is uncomfortable.
60
I prepare my breakfast.
61
For breakfast, I don't eat the same thing every day.
62
Today I'm going to make a porridge with a flocon of avoine.
63
This is a flocon of avoine.
64
I put some flocons of avoine, some chia, some cannelle, and the soy sauce.
65
I cut the fruits for the porridge.
66
I add almonds and and the beurre of cacahuète.
67
I'm going to sit in the garden to eat my little day.
68
and these two chienes me follow everywhere.
69
Bon appétit !
70
I've finished my little day and I've almost finished my routine in the morning.
71
I only need to brush my teeth.
72
I'm part of the people who brush my teeth after having eaten their little dinner.
73
But tell me in the comments if you had to brush your eyes before or after the day-déj.
74
That's me.
75
That's it, I finally finished my routine morning.
76
As you can see, I like to take my time in the morning.
77
It's really one of my favorite moments of the day.
78
So I take 2h, 2h30 to do my routine morning and I start working towards 9h, 9h30.
79
And what does your routine look like?
80
Tell me in the comments, it interests me.
81

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.
