Shadowing Practice: Une journée dans ma vie en français ❄️ - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Hello, welcome to a new video on the channel Peace of French.
2
Today I take you a day in my life in French
3
and I have a lot of pain to get out of the bed.
4
I have a lot of pain to wake up
5
because it's cold out and that I don't want to get out of my cupboard.
6
I'm very good in my bed.
7
It's the beginning of the summer and these last days, the morning I have a lot of pain to wake up
8
because I have too cold so for remedy to
9
that I put next to my bed things to get out of my bed during the morning.
10
I have a pull and the most important I have a seat because I have super cold on the feet.
11
Let's go, let's get up.
12
And as it's really cold, I add a bonnet and a big helmet.
13
And I close the light.
14
I have prepared a tea to heat up.
15
It's a tea based ginger and milk.
16
I love to drink ginger in the summer.
17
I love the spice of ginger that heat me in the summer.
18
In this moment, we live at the parents of Doron in the desert of Negev.
19
The weather is very sec and the day it is hot,
20
it is good, but the night the temperatures can really increase.
21
It is something that is known, it is that in the desert it is hot the day but cold the And so it's the same here.
22
The morning it's cold and the morning also it's cold.
23
That's why I have a lot to wake up.
24
Of course, it's not the cold of Canada, as we talked about in one of my last videos,
25
but in fact, here, the houses are more adapted to the winter, because the winter is very long and very cold.
26
So in all the houses, there are climatizations, but in most houses,
27
there is no temperature as we can find in Europe or elsewhere.
28
So, even if it doesn't make very cold outside, it is cold in the house because there is no temperature.
29
So, this is the little meteor point of the day.
30
Je finis mon thé et après je vais aller me faire un petit café.
31
Guy, viens manger !
32
On a prévu de partir en voyage avec notre chienne, ça nécessite de prendre l 'avion.
33
Là c 'est sa cage de voyage, donc elle va prendre l 'avion dans cette cage et petit à petit elle s 'habitue à la cage.
34
Donc maintenant elle prend tous ses repas dans la cage et
35
je lui fais régulièrement des séances de dressage pour l 'entraîner à rester dans la cage quand la porte est fermée,
36
parce que là vous voyez la porte est ouverte.
37
C 'est un de nos projets de l 'année 2025, donc je vous en dirai plus quand ça va se faire, vous serez au courant.
38
Je vois que le soleil est sorti, donc je vais aller boire mon café dehors au soleil.
39
The chair is a little wet, as it has been over these last days, so I take a I have a serviette and I'm going to mess up the chair.
40
There's nothing better than the sun of the summer.
41
It's a great, great fun.
42
However, I'm starting to feel hot with all these clouds au
43
soleil chute il ya un chien qui n 'arrête pas d
44
'aboyer je disais oui je commence à avoir chaud avec toutes
45
ces couches donc je vais enlever une couche je fais la
46
technique de l 'oignon vous savez l 'oignon qui a plusieurs
47
couches et qui enlève ses couches je vais enlever ce gilet et Et je vais enlever mon bonnet.
48
J 'ai remis mon bonnet et mon gilet et je me
49
suis fait un autre thé je vais allumer le chauffage parce
50
que j 'ai froid quand il fait froid ce qu 'on
51

53
'air chaud et ça c 'est pas très agréable mais je
54
vais allumer le chauffage pendant quelques minutes histoire de réchauffer un peu la pièce.
55
C 'est brûlant, c 'est très chaud, ça fait du bien.
56
Je fais une pause pour le déjeuner, pour le dej, je me suis réchauffé un bol of soup.
57
There's nothing better than a soup when it's cold when it's cold.
58
There's some hummus at home and also some crêpes at home.
59
Bon app!
60
After breakfast, in the afternoon, I like to make a chaude and in this moment I love to prepare the golden milk.
61
I don't know if you know it.
62
C 'est du lait avec des épices et principalement du curcuma, ce qui donne une couleur jaune au lait.
63
Et c 'est vraiment ma boisson du moment.
64
Je fais chauffer du lait d 'avoine.

You can also add something to sugar the drink, like the sirop d 'érable, or the milk, or the sugar,
88
but like here I use the olive oil which is already sugar naturally, it's enough for me,
89
but you can sucré plus et à côté de ça je

de cacahuète et des pépites de cacao 100 % cacao c
92
'est quelque chose que j 'ai découvert récemment tout seul c
93
'est pas très bon parce que c 'est un peu amer mais quand on rajoute ça un dessert It's super good,
94
it gives crunch, croquant, and it's a great discovery.
95
And I'm going to take a look at it for a little... of crochet.
96
I was put on crochet in a little more than a year, I think, and it's really something that I really like to do.
97
It's really something that I really like to do.
98
It's crazy.
99
It's the verlan de fou, which means a lot.
100
It's crazy.
101
It's crazy.
102
It's crazy.
103

It's not calm here.
110
So I said, I'm trying to crochet a gilet.
111
I don't know if you can see, but it's the manches du gilet, la manche, j 'ai un peu galéré avec ce projet,
112
j 'ai un peu galéré au début et j 'ai dû
113
recommencer plusieurs fois mais je crois que ça y est là j 'ai compris la technique, c 'est une technique un peu différente qui permet d 'avoir
114
un rendu comme ceci et le résultat final devrait ressembler à
115
ça il est quatre heures et demie le soleil vient de
116
se coucher en hiver le coup le soleil se couche assez
117
tôt ici donc vers cinq heures il fait déjà nuit noire
118

Boost Your Daily French-Life Vocabulary with This Real-Life Video
Practice IELTS speaking and daily conversation skills by diving into a relatable "day in the life" video. This clip is perfect for mastering natural, conversational French—while also honing your shadowing technique (or "shadowspeak") to mimic rhythm and pronunciation. Let's break down how to use it effectively!
Speaking Goals for This Clip
This video targets fluency in describing routines and expressing personal experiences—key skills for IELTS speaking and real-world interactions. You'll learn to talk about weather, daily tasks, and even pet training with ease, all while practicing the shadow speak method: repeating phrases aloud as you hear them to build muscle memory for natural speech patterns.
Phrase Bank: Reusable Expressions for Daily Chats
- "I have a lot of pain to get out of bed" (casual way to say "I struggle to wake up")
- "the technique of the onion" (describing layering clothes to adjust to temperature)
- "petit à petit" (gradually—great for talking about progress)
- "ça nécessite de" (it requires—useful for explaining plans)
- "je vous en dirai plus quand ça va se faire" (I'll tell you more when it happens—perfect for future updates)
Fix Your Weak Spots: Rhythm and Intonation
The video's relaxed, conversational tone is ideal for practicing shadowing. Notice how the speaker pauses naturally between thoughts and stresses key words (like "cold" or "sun") to convey emotion. Many learners struggle with linking words in French, but this clip helps you master that flow. Try the shadowing technique: play a short segment, pause, and repeat it immediately, matching the speed and pitch. Over time, this will make your speech sound less robotic and more like a native. For IELTS speaking practice, focus on copying the speaker's rhythm—examiners love natural, fluent delivery!
Pro tip: Start with 10-second clips, then work up to longer segments. You'll be surprised how quickly your confidence grows!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | have prepared · has been |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | is known · was put |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | oil which is · fou, which means |
| Comparatives -er than / more … than — comparing two things | better than |
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.
