Améliore ton français avec la technique du Shadowing | Pratique avec Catherine Deneuve

Do you have trouble understanding French actors because they speak very quickly Do you feel that when you speak French people don't understand you because of your pronunciation Do you have trouble with written French versus spoken French Do you feel like it's a completely different language If you answered yes to these three questions you're in the right place Today I'm going to offer you a special exercise It will help you improve your pronunciation and understanding of spoken French Let's go Hello everyone and welcome to this shadowing session Today we're going to do some shadowing with the great Catherine Deneuve That's pretty cool First you can review the first video I made about shadowing I will put a small link here that you can click on Where I explain who created this method and where it comes from Now I'm going to give you a quick little summary How to use this method and the rules to follow when using this method The idea is to listen to a sound to listen to a conversation a dialogue And to repeat exactly the same thing as the native speaker Four rules that you must absolutely follow The first one here don't read okay Avoid reading the subtitles At first of course the first time you will be forced to read to absorb the dialogue But it is also important to try to do the exercise by trying to repeat the sounds like a melody Even if you don't understand all the words try repeating it as if you were singing a song Don't you know the lyrics and you just repeat the sounds The second important thing when doing shadowing With a movie clip like this take the opportunity to imitate the characters' gestures The intonations noticing when they take breaths the rhythm of the sentence It's really very important And imitating the gestures will also help you to have the right intonations and the right rhythm Third very important step You will need to record yourself and listen back to your version and compare it with the original in order to make small corrections Attention not everything is fixed the first time We fix a detail each time we repeat it Okay If it's something difficult for you to do you can ask for help from a French tutor a French teacher Let him listen to your recording and give you suggestions for improvement What are the first things you can correct in your recording A final piece of advice if you really need the reading or if it's difficult for you to have zero reading Don't hesitate to rewrite the sentences in a phonetic way in a way that you can just read without having to think about the words And in your rewriting don't hesitate to add the intonations the breaths to make small marks to know when to breathe When to lower your tone or raise it things like that if it 's more convenient for you The idea is after all at the end Being able to do it with your eyes closed Let's start with this first shadowing session I'll show you the entire excerpt Then we go through each phrase together and I give you two rehearsals with the original Come on my wolf you know I promised to take Lucas to the movies tonight Come on my wolf you know I promised to take Lucas to the movies tonight Come on my wolf you know I promised to take Lucas to the movies tonight Well take some pills dear Otherwise he will be disappointed Ben takes some pills dear otherwise he will be disappointed Ben takes some pills dear otherwise he' ll be disappointed Yes it's not your fault But it's not hers either What Yes it's not your fault It's not your fault but after all it's not hers either Yes it's not your fault but it's not hers either Well I'm leaving because I have my 6:45 appointment I'll be home at 7:30 right Hey do you love me What do you want to do to keep training Feel free to download the audio of this video on your phone so you can listen to it again without necessarily having the video Practice while walking while doing another activity so your brain Do not be solely focused on repeating these phrases but rather do it in a slightly more passive way Record yourself and repeat And listen again that's very important So how did the session go Tell me everything Don't hesitate to tell me here in the comments how you found this shadowing session If you want more shadowing sessions You need to subscribe here and click the small bell to make sure you receive notifications every time a new video is uploaded to this YouTube channel I also invite you to join our film clubs Film clubs are times to practice your French with other French language learners We meet in a small group to watch a movie to practice French in a relaxed and welcoming environment to really improve your French a pleasant and effortless way I'll see you next week for a new video I wish you a very good weekend a very good evening Have a great weekend See you next time
