Le speech shadowing est une technique qui vous permettra d'améliorer votre prononciation de l'anglais. C'est une technique qui fonctionne vraiment.

Faites-en 10 minutes par jour pendant 15 jours, et vous verrez déjà une amélioration. Sans plus attendre, commençons tout de suite les explications et un premier exercice de pratique, avec la vidéo ci-dessous !

Speech shadowing, explications et exercice pratique

Concrètement, comment s'y prendre ?

Comme expliqué dans la vidéo, l'idée est de répéter ce que dit un/e anglophone, juste après elle/lui, phrase après phrase. Shadow en anglais signifie ombre. Vous devez suivre le discours de l'anglophone comme son ombre (speech shadowing). Idéalement, si vous pouvez avoir le texte, cela vous facilitera la tâche.

Au début, vous pouvez commencer sur des vidéos plutôt lentes. Sur notre formation Prononcez Sans Peur, Ben propose justement toute une série de vidéos plus lentes, pour commencer, avant de passer sur des vidéos à vitesse normale.

Une bonne ressource pour trouver des vidéos avec le texte associé est TED.com. Sur ce site, vous avez une multitude de discours, en vidéo, avec le texte associé. Chaque vidéo est associée au texte dans plusieurs langues (bien entendu, choisissez l'anglais pour faire un exercice de speech shadowing en anglais). De plus, vous pouvez choisir la vitesse de la vidéo pour la mettre en version plus ou moins lente, selon votre niveau.

Illustration sur Ted.com

Vous retrouverez également quelques exercices de speech shadowing sur le podcast AnglaisCours Club, qui est disponible sur iTunes, sur Google Podcast, sur Spotify et sur Deezer.

Accent anglais ou accent américain ?

Avec la méthode du speech shadowing, vous pouvez aussi bien apprendre l'accent anglais que l'accent américain. L'idéal est simplement d'imiter des anglophones dont vous aimez l'accent. En effet, en pratiquant cette méthode, vous allez imiter la personne anglophone qui parle, et apprendre automatiquement son accent et sa manière de parler. Choisissez un personnage, connu ou non, pour lequel vous pouvez trouver un nombre raisonnable de vidéos ou d'audio, et imitez-la/le !

Vous pouvez bien entendu pratiquer le speech shadowing avec des personnages anglophones différents. Cela vous habituera à prononcer l'anglais de différentes manières, et cela fera également travailler votre oreille et votre compréhension !

La difficulté insoupçonnée du speech shadowing

Si vous testez cette méthode, vous verrez qu'elle fonctionne vraiment, pourvu que vous en fassiez de manière régulière : 10 minutes par jour pendant 15, voire 30 jours et vous verrez des progrès, je vous le garantis !

Cependant, vous vous rendrez vite compte que la principale difficulté est de se souvenir de ce que vient de dire la personne anglophone que vous suivez, tout en répétant les mêmes mots. Il faut simultanément écouter, se souvenir, et parler. C'est vraiment la principale difficulté. Cela fait appel à votre mémoire de court terme, qui fonctionne d'habitude dans votre langue maternelle. Faire travailler cette mémoire de court terme dans une autre langue est un excellent exercice, tant pour stimuler votre cerveau que pour améliorer votre anglais. Mais ce n'est pas facile !

Donc si au début cela vous paraît compliqué, pas de panique : choisissez des vidéos plus lentes, et commencez à vitesse réduite.

Vous souhaitez améliorer votre prononciation ? Suivez la formation Prononcez Sans Peur. Cette formation vous proposera un parcours entier pour vous améliorer, avec notamment, des exercices adaptés de speech shadowing, mais également tout un travail sur l'accentuation, la prononciation des voyelles et les erreurs fréquentes à ne pas commettre.

Balance speed and comprehensionSpeed reading is about increasing the speed that you read. To do so, it is important to ensure that you are pushing yourself to read faster. The goal is the fastest time with about 70 percent accuracy on the comprehension questions.Read easy storiesThere should be very little unknown vocabulary and the grammar should be straightforward. Begin with the easier levels and work your way to the more difficult levels. Another option is to start with an appropriate level. To do so, first determine your level of vocabulary knowledge. You can take a test like the Vocabulary Levels Test. This is a short online test.Read regularlyReading at least one story every day gives you a methodic approach to improving your reading speed. The app gives you the option to either read as much as you want each day, or to limit yourself to one reading each day.Monitor your progressChecking your progress daily will help motivate you to continue reading. The app includes a progress chart that you can use to monitor your progress. For each reading you complete, you can view information including the date that you completed the reading, the level of the reading you completed, your reading rate in words per minute, and more.

How to use story dice

As you can see above, you get five story dice (or nine dice, if you prefer), each with a random image on it. Your job is quite simply to turn these prompts into a story.

I recommend you try to work with the order they appear on the screen but if you're finding it tough, you can do some swapsies.

You also don't need to take the image literally. You can use the dice metaphorically or as representations of other concepts. For example, a slice of pizza could represent food in general, cutting a slice out of something, Italy, gooiness, a chef and a heap of other more obscure things. The job of the dice is not necessarily to provide you with literal objects to work with but concepts to nudge your thinking in fresh directions.

You may just want to dive in as soon as you see them, working from left to right as you try to incorporate each image into your yarn. Or you may want to be more strategic and work out the ending first, using the dice to work out how you're going to get to your big climax. Try different strategies to see what works best for you.

But let me give you an example. Imagine I was dealt these dice (I don't need to imagine because I just have been):

This is the ultimate guide to saying (or reading out) numbers in English. Also check out Maths Vocabulary in English: Do You Know the Basics?

Today, you're going to learn how to say different types of numbers in English.

We'll look at how to say:

Big numbers in English

First, you try!

OK. Take a look at these sentences and see if you can say the numbers correctly.

Don't move on to the next part until you've tried to say them. It's like a test - but a fun one!

Was I right?

Well, let's see if you were right.

What are the rules here?

OK. There are four things you should think about here.

1. Break big numbers up into pieces!

See the commas between the numbers? (They're full stops in most languages but not in English - because English likes to be different!)

Those commas show you how to break the number up. So just say the numbers between the commas and add "billion," "million," "thousand," etc. afterwards:

Note: To avoid confusion between commas (,) and full stops (.) in big numbers, there's an international standard. What's the solution? Just uses spaces.

324,678,129 → 324 678 129

2. Don't make "one hundred," "one thousand," etc., plural!

Just remember, when we're saying a big number, the numbers are not pluralised:

So don't say:
4,000 - " four thousands "

Say:
4,000 - "four thousand"

3. Say "and" after "hundred" (if you prefer British English)

Did you notice the "and"?

Basically, every time we say "hundred," we say "and" next.

Remember - this doesn't work if there are just zeros after the hundred:

But it's worth remembering that most English speakers don't add "and" - it's usually just the Brits. So you can ignore this rule if you like.

4. "One hundred" or "a hundred" - it doesn't really matter

With the following numbers, you have freedom of choice:

Yay, freedom!

Saying prices in English

First, you try!

OK. Look at these sentences. How do you say them?

Was I right?

OK. Let's check:

What are the rules here?

There are two main rules at work here:

1. Word order of prices

In the first example ($1.89), did you notice how we said the first number first (1), then the currency ($), then the other number (89)?

That's the order we use when we talk about prices:

Remember, we don't have to say "cents" (or "pence" or "Kopek," etc.). It's clear from the context.

In fact, very often we don't even say the currency. So you could just say:

2. Using "grand" or "K" instead of "thousand"

If you're talking about big numbers all the time, it doesn't make sense saying a long word like "thousand" again and again.

Fortunately, we can shorten "thousand" to either "grand" or "K."

But remember, it only works when the number is exactly on the thousands:

Saying the time correctly

First, you try!

OK - can you say these times correctly?

Be careful here. I've written these all in 24-hour time, but we don't say all of them in 24-hour time. Think about the context!

The film about sushi starts at 19:00. Don't be late!

The plane leaves at 17:43. Then the adventure begins!

The next train leaving platform 4 will depart at 15:00.

Shall we meet at around 18:30?

You're late! It's 08:03.

Was I right?

Let's see!

19:00 (in this situation) = "seven" or "seven p.m." or maybe "seven o'clock"
17:43 (in this situation) = "seventeen forty-three"
15:00 (in this situation) = "fifteen hundred hours"
18:30 (in this situation) = "six thirty" or "half-past six" or "half six"
08:03 = "eight oh-three" or "three (minutes) past eight"

What are the rules here?

Most of the rules here are a bit different because they depend on context.

1. When speaking informally, don't use 24-hour time

So when we're hanging out with our friends (like in the first and fourth examples), we almost never use 24-hour time.

And when you do use 24-hour time, never use "o'clock" or "half past" or "5 to" or any of the normal "telling the time" stuff.

We just say the numbers.

That means we don't say "nineteen o'clock." Ever. Just never say it!

And we never, ever, ever say "half past twenty."

Instead, we just use 12-hour time.

So don't say "nineteen o'clock." Instead, say "seven o'clock." Thinking of saying "five past twenty"? Don't! Say "five past eight" instead.

When I explain this to English learners, they often ask, "But how do you know whether it's morning or evening?"

And my answer is always the same: If you like, you can say "p.m." or "a.m." to clarify. But how many people go to the cinema at 7 in the morning? Usually, the context is clear enough.

And then they say, "Thanks. Also, your hair is looking great today."

2. 24-hour time for scheduled events (usually transport)

When we're talking about a train or a plane or a bus leaving, we can use 24-hour time, and it doesn't sound too weird, even when we're talking to friends (like in the second example).

And we can certainly expect to hear it when it's being announced at an airport or station (like in the third example).

3. There are three ways of saying "half past something"

... and none of them includes "o'clock."

You can say "06:30" in three different ways:

"It's half past 6." (half past + number)

"It's 6 thirty." (number + thirty)

"It's half 6." (half + number) - this one's a bit informal, and it will confuse Germans.

But you can never, ever, ever say "it's half past 6 o'clock."

Remember, we only use "o'clock" when the time is on the hour ("two o'clock," "four o'clock," "one o'clock," etc.) and no other situation!

4. Use "oh"

The last example above (3:03) is a little tricky. If you have to express a time like this, instead of saying "zero," just say "oh."

3:03 = "three oh-three"
1:08 = "one oh-eight"

Saying decimals in English

OK. You may be wondering what a "decimal" is.

Well, you're about to find out!

First, you try!

First of all, let's try saying these sentences:

According to my calculations, the answer is 6.66666666666666666666666666666666 ...

Yes, we must angle the mirror at precisely 45.665° to destroy the ships and rule the world!

Was I right?

OK, let's check it!

45.665° = "forty-five point six six five degrees"
66.6666666666... = "sixty-six point six recurring"

What are the rules here?

There are three things to remember here:

1. Say "point" in decimal numbers

Simple rule, right? Just say "point" and not "dot" or "full stop." Or "elephant." Definitely don't say "elephant."

2. After "point," say the numbers one by one

Mathematically speaking, the numbers after the point (665 in the example above) are not hundreds. So we don't say "six hundred and sixty-five."

After the point, we just say the numbers one by one ("six six five").

3. When numbers repeat forever, just say "recurring"

Maths is weird, and I find it strange that stuff like this can happen with numbers.

But when you have the number 6 repeating itself forever, I'd recommend not saying the number again and again until you die of thirst or boredom and all your friends have left the room.

Just say it once and add "recurring."

Sometimes, more than one number repeats itself over and over, like this: 12.131313131313 ...

In this case, just say the pair of numbers that repeat themselves (in this case "one three") and add "recurring."

12.131313131313 ... = "twelve point one three recurring"

First, Second, Third... (ordinal numbers)

First, you try!

You know what to do:

Was I right?

What are the rules here?

There are a few very simple rules here.

1. Use "the" (or the possessive)

Because ordinal numbers are very specific (How many first places are there in a race?) we almost always use "the" before them.

Make it an automatic habit!

Here's a quick tip, not just for ordinal numbers but generally in English:

You don't have to use "the" if you have a possessive.

So you can say:

The third horse on the left is looking at me strangely.

But you can also say:

May I introduce you to my seventh wife?

2. Use "-th" for ordinal numbers after 1st, 2nd and 3rd

Generally speaking, to create an ordinal number, you just add "-th." (Although sometimes the spelling can be tricky.) Click here for the full list of ordinal numbers.

It's the same for small numbers:

This is the fifth computer he's bought this year.

And big ones:

You're the ninety-ninth person to ask me that today.

But be careful. If you're making 1, 2 or 3 ordinal, remember that they're completely different:

It's the same for small numbers:

It's the first Sunday of the month - and you know what that means!

And big ones:

It's the fifty-second week of the year. Finally!

Saying Fractions in English

First, you try!

OK. You know the drill. How do you say these sentences?

The meeting should've just been 1 ½ hours, but because Eduardo wouldn't stop talking, it went on for over 2 ½ hours. I was late for my tennis team meeting.

I don't want all of it - can you just give me ⅙ of the pizza? No, make it 2⁄6 ... That's ⅓, isn't it?

Was I right?

1 ½ hours = "one and a half hours" or "an hour and a half"
2 ½ hours = "two and a half hours"
⅙ = "one-sixth" or "a sixth"
2⁄6 = "two-sixths"
⅓ = "one-third" or "a third"

What are the rules here?

1. Use an ordinal number on the bottom

Remember the ordinal numbers we talked about above?

We use them for fractions, too.

Let's look at a simple fraction: ⅓

There are two numbers - "1" on the top and "3" on the bottom.

Simply say the number on the top normally - "one" - and the ordinal of the number on the bottom - "third."

Then you have "one third."

That's it!

2. Make the bottom number plural if the top number is 2 or higher

Remember that if we're dealing with a fraction that doesn't have "1" on the top, the ordinal must be plural.

So let's take another example fraction: ⅔

Take the number on the top as usual ("2") and make the ordinal on the bottom plural, so "third" becomes "thirds" (because in this case, there are two of them).

⅔ = "two thirds"

3. Say "quarter" not "fourth" and "half" not "second"

When the bottom number is 2 or 4, we use "half/halves" and "quarter/quarters."

Instead of saying ½ as "one second," we say "one half" or "a half."

And instead of saying ¼ as "one fourth," we say "one quarter" or "a quarter."

4. Get the order right with fractions!

The usual way to say these numbers is as you read them.

Let's look at an example: 2 ½ hours

Say "two and a half" then "hours" (not "two hours and a half").

Simple and direct, yeah?

4. With 1 ½, there's an alternative!

Do you remember at the beginning of this post, we saw how we can choose between "one hundred" and "a hundred?"

Well, it's the same with "1 ½ " - you can use "one" or "a." It's up to you, but remember that the word order is different:

5. When we say 1 ½, the following noun becomes plural

Did you notice that in the example above, we said "one and a half hours," not "one and a half hour "?

This is a rule in English that a lot of books don't talk about much.

But here I am ... talking about it!

I guess the logic is that if the number is anything more than one (including 1.000000001), it's officially plural.

Talking about the temperature

First, you try!

OK. Can you say these correctly?

Was I right?

What are the rules here?

1. There are three ways of talking about temperatures below zero

So when it's that cold and your hair is freezing, then it's probably below zero, right?

You can say:

"Minus 40 degrees" (minus + number + degrees)

"Negative 40 degrees" (negative + number + degrees)

"Forty (degrees) below (zero)" (number + (degrees) + below (+ zero))

Remember, you don't need to say "Celsius" or "Fahrenheit" if it's clear from the context.

In fact, you don't even need to say "degrees" if it's obvious you're talking about the temperature.

Also remember: when you use the third option (with "below"), you don't need to say "zero" or "degrees," but only do this when it's clear whether you're discussing Celsius or Fahrenheit. And make sure that it's clear that you're talking about the temperature and not your downstairs neighbours.

2. Celsius or centigrade or Fahrenheit?

OK. This is pretty simple.

Celsius and centigrade are exactly the same. So don't worry about mixing these ones up. Because it's impossible!

" Fahrenheit " is the weird measurement that the Americans use that I just don't understand.

To me, Celsius makes sense: 0°C is where water freezes and 100°C is where it boils.

I think the best way to think about Fahrenheit is that between 50°F and 100°F is the human comfort zone! (50°F is 10°C and 100°F is almost 40°C.)

Talking about space

Not the space with aliens and frightening amounts of radiation. And Sandra Bullock acting badly (as usual).

I mean the space of a room or a box or a cave.

First, you try!

Yeah, we had to downsize. The new office is only 30m2. And there are 15 of us!

Watch this amazing man fit into a box that's just 30cm3!

Was I right?

= "thirty metres squared" or "thirty square metres"
= "thirty centimeters cubed" or "thirty cubic centimeters"

What are the rules here?

1. There are two ways to say m2

This is pretty simple. You have a choice here.

You can say "12 metres squared" (number + "metres" + "squared").

Or you can go for "12 square metres" (number + "square" + "metres").

2. There are two ways to say m3

Again - it's really straight-forward:

You can say "3 metres cubed" (number + "metres" + "cubed").

Or you can say "3 cubic metres" (number + "cubic" + "metres").

That's it! Nothing else to see here. Please move on.

Talking about speed in English!

No, not the Sandra Bullock film. Please stop talking about Sandra Bullock.

First, you try!

OK. Remember to say these before reading on.

We don't have enough road to get up to 88 mph.

This bike is capable of getting up to 45 km/h. Seriously.

The speed of light? It's almost 300,000 km/sec.

Was I right?

What are the rules here?

1. "Per hour" or "an hour"?

When we're talking about speed, we have a choice - we can say "per hour" or "an hour" (or "per second" or "a second").

But which one to use?

My advice is that in most situations, use "an hour."

"Per hour" sounds a little more technical and formal.

But the difference is small here, so I wouldn't worry about this too much. There are better things to worry about. Like global warming.

2. The units are plural

It's important to remember that the distances here are very likely to be plural (unless we're talking about 1mph or 1km/sec).

So remember that it's "88 miles per hour" not " mile per hour."

That is all!

Saying years in English

First, you try!

The great fire of London? That was 1666, I think.

My gran was one of the oldest people in my town when she died. She was born in 1905. Seriously! Her husband was born in 1900!

What did you do for New Year's 2000?

I've been thinking about changing jobs since 2003. But I'm still here. Maybe next year.

They thought the world was going to end in 2012. But they also thought that the world was flat and that lizards are our rulers.

I can't wait for 2020 and a new decade. This last one was a bit rubbish!

Was I right?

1666 = "sixteen sixty-six"
1905 = "nineteen oh-five"
1900 = "nineteen hundred"
2000 = "two thousand"
2003 = "two thousand and three"
2012 = "two thousand and twelve" or "twenty twelve"
2020 = "twenty twenty"

What are the rules here?

OK. There's a lot here. But the good news? It's all pretty simple.

1. Cut years into two

For almost all the years, we cut them into two - the first two numbers and the second two:

2. Remember "oh"

When the year ends with zero plus a number (e.g. 1903, 1109, 1601) just say "oh" instead of the zero ("nineteen oh-three," "eleven oh-nine," "sixteen oh-one").

Remember, this only works for years after 1000 and not years beginning with 20 (e.g. 2009).

3. Use "hundred" or "thousand" when you see lots of zeros

If the year ends in double zero (e.g. 1400, 1100, 2100) just say "hundred" after the first numbers ("fourteen hundred," "eleven hundred," "twenty-one hundred").

Remember, this doesn't work for triple zero years (e.g. 1000, 2000, 3000). With these, we just say "thousand" ("one thousand," "two thousand," "three thousand").

4. How to say 2001 - 2009

Although we can say "twenty-oh-three," a lot of people prefer to say "two thousand and three," all the way up to "two thousand and ten."

But what about after that? What happens after 2010?

Apparently, no one can agree on this. So we hear people saying "twenty eleven" and other people saying "two thousand and eleven." Those people have more energy.

"But that's mad! Does this continue forever?" I can hear you asking.

The answer is "yes, it is mad" and "fortunately not."

Because when we get back to 2020, we're back to the old system again ("twenty twenty," "twenty twenty-eight," "twenty fifty-four," etc.)

OK! You've made it to the end! Congratulations! You rule!

You are now a MASTER of saying numbers in English!

But you'll need to do one more thing to really take in what you've learned today.

Look at these numbers - can you write them out in full?

Write your answers in the comments!

One of the best ways to develop your English fluency is to learn well-known expressions. Binomial expressions are common English phrases that include a pair of words usually joined by " and" or " or" (e.g. black and white, plain and simple, more or less). The order of the words is usually fixed, and they are a single chunk of English vocabulary.

Binomial expressions (also known as "binomials" or "binomial pairs") are regularly used by native English speakers because they are often catchy and easy to remember.

There's an amazing variety of interesting and amusing expressions in the English language. Most are known by native speakers, but these English expressions are not commonly used in English coursebooks.

Develop your English vocabulary with these catchy expressions to sound like a native speaker. Just remember that these are generally informal expressions and more common in social situations.

Types of binomial expressions

Most binomials use "and" or "or" and there are common types of English binomial expressions, which include:

* Opposites (antonyms)

Opposite pairs of words create several common English phrases (e.g. hot and cold).

* Synonyms

Pair of words with the same or a similar meaning make up other memorable English phrases (e.g. peace and quiet).

* Rhyming or similar sounding words

Some binomial pairs use words that rhyme or sound similar (e.g. meet and greet).

* Repetition

There are pairs of words that use the same word twice (e.g. again and again).

* Alliteration

Some expressions use words that start with the same letter(s) (e.g. tried and tested).

30 tried and tested binomial English expressions

Here are 30 binomial expressions that are great for developing English fluency and to sound more like a native English speaker.

In this lesson, you're going to learn 59 positive personality adjectives in English. Check out 66 Negative Personality Adjectives here.

Let's look at some positive words to describe people.

There are four main categories of positive personality adjectives. Let's imagine each category as a different person. So let's meet them:

Positive Personality Adjectives #1
Nik - the people person
Nik is the friend who's great with people. See how popular he is? People like Nik:

There are lots of reasons why people like Nik.

He thinks about you and how you feel:

Reason why people like Nik #3

He doesn't choose one side when his friends disagree with each other:

Diplomatic - He is very good at trying to help people see both sides of a situation.

He likes giving and helping:

Generous - He likes giving things to people.
Helpful - He likes helping.

So that's Nik. What an awesome guy!

Positive Personality Adjectives #2
Alexa - the good worker
Alexa is a great worker. She's focussed and likes to get things done! She's the perfect candidate for a job. Bosses like her:

There are lots of reasons why Alexa is a good worker:

Alexa has a lot of natural personal qualities that make her a good worker:

Observant - She's good at noticing different things around her.
Quick-witted - She can think quickly and intelligently.
Patient - She can accept difficult situations without getting angry.
Dynamic - She has a lot of energy and can think creatively.

Dependable - If she says she will do something, she will do it.
Reliable - The same as "dependable"
Trustworthy - You can trust her to be honest and sincere.
Loyal - She will always be on your side.

So that's Alexa. A great worker but not necessarily great fun.

That's why we need to have Freya in our lives!

Positive Personality Adjectives #3
Freya - the fun lady!
We all need a Freya in our lives. She's the friend who makes us happy and who we can have fun with. She's the friend who puts a smile on our faces and helps us kill the stress from our working day.

Here's Freya at a party. Like Nik, she's very popular. But for slightly different reasons:

Freya is fun to be around for several reasons.

Reason why Freya is fun #1

First of all, Freya has a lot of energy. When people have a lot of energy, this energy often transfers to you. It's fun!

Energetic - She has a lot of energy.
Adventurous - She likes doing new and different things.
Enthusiastic - She shows a lot of excitement and interest in things.
Kooky - She's a little crazy. But in a fun way.

Reason why Freya is fun #2

Reason why Freya is fun #3

She's also very funny:

Hilarious - She's very, very, funny.
Witty - She's funny and can tell good jokes in an intelligent way.
Humorous - She's funny and entertaining.
Amusing - She's funny and fun.

Reason why Freya is fun #4

Finally, you don't feel bad when you're with Freya. You feel like you can say anything, and she won't think badly of you:

OK. So Freya's good fun. But perhaps sometimes she can get annoying! There are times when we need to be serious.

This is a good time to try to be like Delia.

Positive Personality Adjectives #4
Delia - the leader
Delia is the person we know who will probably become successful. She knows what she wants in life, and she has the power to take it! She may not have so many friends, but she takes pleasure from her success.

Why will Delia succeed? There are two main reasons for this:

Reason why Delia is a good leader #1

She has so much power in her. She's an unstoppable force!

Ambitious - She has very high targets for herself in life.
Determined - She doesn't quit, even when things get hard.
Passionate - She believes in her work and her success on an emotional level.
Persistent - She never gives up!
Decisive - She can make a decision quickly and confidently.

Reason why Delia is a good leader #2

She's also not afraid of anything. Or anyone!

Courageous - She's brave.
Fearless - She has no fear.

Basically, she's like a superhero!

How to use personality adjectives

OK. So now you know 59 positive adjectives to describe people you like. Let's take a look at a few different ways to use adjectives.

Let's start with a simple adjective to describe someone:

funny

There are different ways we can use this word to describe a person.

If we simply want to describe the person directly, we can say:

She's funny.

or

She's a funny woman.

There isn't much difference between these sentences. The only difference is that you have the freedom to use different words to describe the woman in the second example:

She's a funny person.

She's a funny friend.

She's a funny boss.

But what if you don't know this person? What if you just have the feeling that she might be funny?

The first thing to ask yourself is this: What gives you this feeling? Is it about her appearance or just a general feeling?

If it's a general feeling, we can say:

She seems funny.

But if it's about her appearance (she might be a clown), then we can say:

She looks funny.

or

She looks like a funny person.

Remember:

she looks + adjective

she looks like + (adjective) noun

Remember these adjectives forever

Sometimes we meet people we don't like - "bad" people! Let's take a look at some negative words to describe someone you don't like.

1. Negative Adjectives for Selfish People

Tony believes he's more important than everyone else.

This is how he sees himself:

He thinks he's more important than you:

Arrogant - He thinks he's the best.
Big-headed - The same as "arrogant."
Self-centred - The world has to revolve around him!
Vain - He loves looking at himself in the mirror.
Boastful - He always talks about how brilliant he is and all the amazing things he does.
Pompous - Like "arrogant" but in a way that makes him look foolish, like this guy:

He tries to make you feel small:

He doesn't care how you feel:

He's aggressive:

Confrontational - He tries to challenge you, even when it's not necessary.
Defensive - He behaves as if you're attacking him, even if you aren't.
Hostile - He behaves like your enemy.
Belligerent - He's aggressive and hostile.
Bitchy - He makes small, sarcastic comments about you. They seem small, but they're designed to hurt you.
Nasty - He's not nice.
Bossy - He likes telling you what to do - like a boss.
Cruel - He actually enjoys seeing other people in pain and sometimes creates that pain.
Domineering - He likes to have control over everyone in every situation.

So yeah. Tony's not a nice guy.

This is Amber, and she has a very negative personality.

You can't trust her:

Deceitful - She pretends to be your friend, then she'll stab you in the back (do something bad to you after you've started trusting her).
Dishonest - She's not honest.
Machiavellian - She intelligently uses different people against each other to get what she wants.
Sneaky - She does things that you don't know about that affect you negatively.
Untrustworthy - You can't trust her. She lies!

She hates change:

Dogmatic - She has strong beliefs and doesn't accept any view outside those beliefs.
Inflexible - When she's made plans, NOTHING can change them.
Intolerant - She doesn't like certain types of people and will never accept them. Sometimes this can be extreme, like racism, sexism or homophobia.
Narrow-minded - She has a small view of the world and doesn't accept ideas outside that view.
Stubborn - You will never be able to change her opinion on anything.
Obstinate - Like "stubborn," but a little stronger.
Pig-headed - Like "obstinate." But with a pig.
Fussy - She likes everything to be a certain way. If there's a change, she gets very upset or angry.

She's difficult to work with:

Indiscreet - Sometimes you don't want somebody shouting your bank balance out across a crowded office. Or you don't want someone to walk in the room with a bottle of whiskey when your Saudi client is visiting. But Amber will do these things.
Tactless - It's like "indiscreet" but with words. It means she sometimes says something stupid that might hurt someone, usually without realising it.
Unpredictable - You don't know what she's going to do next!
Vague - She doesn't explain things clearly.
Impatient - If she has to wait too long for anything, she gets angry. Maybe she'll walk away.
Unreliable - If she tells you that she's going to meet you at 7 o'clock, she probably won't. You can't trust her to keep her promises.

She behaves badly in relationships:

Oh ... I'm so glad we've finished with those two terrible people.

Let's never talk about them again. Deal?

OK. Time to find some less harmful characters.

3. Negative Adjectives for Lazy People

Andy is your stereotypical lazy guy. He doesn't work. He doesn't help around the house.

He also doesn't have any strong opinions and has a weak personality.

He's lazy:

He's weak:

Cowardly - He's afraid of everything.
Foolish - He doesn't have the brains to make the right decisions - so he makes bad decisions.
Gullible - If you told him that you'd just been invited to Tom Cruise's space station party on the moon, he'd believe you.
Indecisive - He finds it difficult to make decisions - so he often sticks with "no decision."
Weak-willed - You can easily convince him to do what he doesn't want to do. He's also probably addicted to something (alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, cheese - something).

4. Negative Adjectives for Emotional People

Finally, we have Sibel.

There are two bad sides to Sibel. On the one hand, she hates sharing or giving anything away, and on the other, she's difficult to be around.

She's always in a bad mood:

Quick-tempered - She gets angry very easily.
Grumpy - She's always in a bad mood and doesn't want to speak with you.
Moody - Her moods are unpredictable. Sometimes she seems fine, and then suddenly she's in a bad mood.
Pessimistic - She always sees the negative side of things.
Sullen - Like "grumpy."
Touchy - You can make her angry or upset very easily.

She's annoying:

Overemotional - When she's unhappy or angry, she's very unhappy or very angry.
Clingy - She wants to be with you all the time, and you just can't lose her. - unless you run away really fast when she's not looking.
Finicky - She's very fussy and wants everything to be the way she wants. She gets upset if you do something the "wrong" way.
Silly - She's not serious and can behave a bit like a child sometimes.
Vulgar - She's not sophisticated. Her jokes are often sexual and rude.

Apprendre une langue étrangère ici
L'intérêt d'apprendre une langue étrangère avec Babbel pour les étudiants

Il existe une foule de raisons pour se lancer dans l'apprentissage d'une nouvelle langue en tant qu'étudiant:

L'une des premières est la communication avec des étudiants étrangers qui peuvent se trouver sur votre campus universitaire. La langue ne doit pas être une barrière pour vous faire de nouveaux amis et échanger avec eux sur vos cultures respectives.

De même, en tant qu'étudiant, vous serez probablement amené à effectuer un semestre ou une année dans un pays étranger dans le cadre d'un échange scolaire. Il devient alors indispensable de pouvoir vous débrouiller à l'étranger et de savoir tenir une conversation de la vie courante. Il faudra parler la langue locale pour demander un renseignement, prendre les transports en commun, faire les courses, discuter avec les élèves et les professeurs étrangers par exemple.

Si parler une langue étrangère est nécessaire lorsqu'on est étudiant, cela aide notamment pour les voyages de manière générale.

Votre séjour n'en sera que plus agréable : vous pourrez ainsi facilement parler avec la population locale et vous déplacer sans avoir à tout traduire à l'aide d'un dictionnaire.

Avec Babbel, vous apprenez à entamer une conversation du quotidien dans la langue de votre choix. Vous serez fier de vous !

La possibilité d'améliorer son profil sur le marché du travail

Savoir parler une ou plusieurs langues étrangères est également un atout considérable pour décrocher votre diplôme sans peine. Un étudiant qui maîtrise des langues étrangères a plus de facilité à assimiler et à comprendre les leçons dispensées en classe. Avec de bonnes notes en poche, vous êtes certains de passer au niveau supérieur. Année après année à l'école, vous finirez vos études en beauté et avec vos diplômes.

En tant qu'étudiant, impossible ne pas évoquer votre avenir professionnel. De cette façon, il est extrêmement avantageux d'afficher la maîtrise de plusieurs langues sur votre C.V.

I love talking about FOOD !

Click on the egg to learn about Irish dishes,

then click > HERE < to solve my puzzle.

Discover Ireland's most iconic foods, one dish at a time.

(adapted from an article by Emily Racette Parulski)

A coddle is a stew (= ragout) made in one pot with leftovers from the week (= food that was left from other meals), such as sausage, bacon, potatoes and onions. Its name comes from "coddling" the ingredients: they bubble for hours before it is ready to eat. It's one of the most popular dishes in Dublin.

Ouch! This is too hot.

You must wait before you choose a destination.

There is no-one here... for now!

What is my favourite ingredient?

Potatoes are the most important food in Ireland.

Now you must find your destination...

... then my friend in the sea will help you!

Ouch! This is too hot.

Where are you going?

I arrive in Italy and head straight to a farm. After two weeks of Italian lessons on Duolingo, that is one of the few places where I am able to speak with any real authority.

On this farm, I hope there is a horse and a cow. Ideally, they will both be drinking milk or looking at birds. Otherwise, I'm not sure what I'd say about them. Perhaps I can pray for the presence of ducks or a girl with a mouse. Worst case scenario, I can comment on bugs, which I am led to believe will be everywhere: on the animals, by the water, in a pair boots. Duolingo believes not only that I will see these things while I'm in Italy, but when I do, I will be compelled to remark upon them like some demented narrator.

Where is the turkey? the app makes me shout into my iPhone while riding a cross town bus. Right here, I mutter. The turkey is here, reporting for duty.

After the farm, Duolingo takes me to lunch. This sounds promising, but turns out poorly, like most online dates do. The app teaches me nothing about placing an order or even recognizing when I am being asked to do so. Instead, it wants me to look around, see what's going on, perhaps hand a single plate to the waiter. My need to eat is secondary to being able to observe who else is in the restaurant and what they're up to.
The waiter is wearing a red shirt. The men talk to the cook. The cook has a knife. The men are leaving the restaurant.
I get the feeling that Duolingo believes every cafe is a crime scene waiting to happen. They are preparing me to be the only witness.

Other common topics of conversation available to me courtesy of Duolingo: horse ownership; things on sharks; lemon candy. When that gets boring, the app has presented me with a deep well of "I statements," such as: I do not eat candy at the zoo; I don't know the bear; I eat a lot of fish. According to Duolingo, it is customary to do each of these while wearing red socks, a point that should be noted whenever possible.

Another thing, while I'm at it: Sugar. My lessons indicate that this word should come up at least once a day, if not more. If it doesn't, I am encouraged to work it into every conversation myself. It's easy enough to do, once you understand the full range of possibilities. One can put sugar in coffee, tea or lemonade, sure. But it can also be used as a playground for ants. It can be fed to a turkey and poured on a table. For some reason, Duolingo keeps insisting that a group of men can write in it. I try to imagine that: A bunch of dudes etching messages in all-natural sweetener. Save me, I see them scrawl in the powder of my mind. Send better words.

I pass these lessons, one after the other, but Duolingo serves them up again and again. To keep myself engaged, I start piecing together random phrases. Suddenly there is a bee in a bathing suit or a shark riding a moped. Here comes that horse again. He is wearing boots and talking to an onion. It seems absurd, but is it really? Is a shark on a motorcycle any more ridiculous than, say, men writing in sugar? Is it weirder than a grown woman traveling to Rome in search of a zoo?

Perhaps the most annoying part about Duolingo is that it's working. It's only been a week or two, but still I can conjure up the word for bean and strawberry as I walk through the supermarket. Sitting at a coffee shop, I can skip from table to table, conjugating the verb "to drink." Impressive? Maybe. Useful? Not exactly. Much as I love to rattle off all the beverages to which I can add sugar and the animals that can be forced to drink them, I cannot yet order one myself. I cannot ask to pay in cash or request the WiFi password while I wait. I wonder why Duolingo is going on and on about that milk-drinking horse while I sit here at a café, thirsty, handing the waiter a lemon.

The real complaint that I have with Duolingo doesn't have anything to do with functionality, but practicality. The app may teach people a thing or two, but if the things are useless then what's the point? Why teach me how to say I am handing the banane to the boy when I am far more likely to give a suitcase to the flight attendant? I'm never going to buy green pants but I will definitely, at some point, need to purchase a Metro ticket. Tell me something: Who is this person who is more concerned about getting to and from the zoo, as opposed to the airport? Why isn't Duolingo teaching things that people will actually say?

Don't tell me "This is how you learn." I studied enough languages over the years to know how it's done. I understand that you have to start somewhere humble. Even still, I think we can all agree that a farm is not the ideal place. We don't have to learn the verb "to go" within the context of animals on four legs. The bus can go to the cityjust as easily as The cow goes to the water. I can look at a painting just as well as a horse. The lesson plan can stop sending me on a trip to the zoo when it knows full well that I'm going to Italy to visit a museum. You want to be helpful, Duolingo? Teach me how to say, How late is the train running? and No, sir I don't want to dance with you. Drill me on the phrase, You can't wear shorts in the cathedral. Now we're working on more than one level. Now we're talking!

So why am I studying Italian? The short answer is: Un ragazzo. I'll give you the full story later, when I have more sugar to write in.

Vous êtes apprenti journaliste pour le grand quotidien Monlibéro et vous devez couvrir l'actualité sur le covid-19 depuis chez vous ! L'objectif : décrypter toutes les infos pour obtenir votre carte de presse !

Cette icône te permet de passer à la page suivante...

Intox sur le coronavirus

Tu vas d'abord devoir faire des recherches sur ce virus. Tu cherches dans ton réseau qui pourra te donner des infos sur le coronavirus... (clique sur ces différents profils)

Carine est spécialiste des épidémies dans une université de médecine à Paris. Pourrait-elle t'en dire plus sur le sujet ?

Roger est une des premières victimes du Coronavirus. Il est restaurateur en Picardie. Il pourrait te donner les symptômes de cette maladie !

Mathieu est un ami journaliste avec qui tu as fait tes études. Il vit dans l'Est où de nombreux cas ont été détectés. Il pourrait te donner plus d'infos !

Sur ton compte Facebook, des amis relaient cette une d'un grand journal. Une erreur se cache sur cette page.Observe attentivement en zoomant, trouve la faute et clique dessus !

Indice : N'hésite pas à passer ta sourissur les différentes parties du journal...

Libération est un des journaux hebdomadaires les plus connus en France. C'est bien son logo. Ce n'est donc pas une erreur sur le titre du journal !

Le covid-19 est une des appelations du coronavirus. L'erreur n'est donc pas dans ce titre !

Le titre fait peur et fait référence à un complot au niveau de l'Etat... Cela pourrait être un indice, mais après tout, le journal pourrait avoir un scoop.

Bonne réponse !

Avant de relayer un scandale ou un scoop, même émanant d'un vrai journal, je vais vérifier la source de l'information !

Niveau 2 validé !

Intox sur le coronavirus

Sur Whatsapp, ton amie Lisa te demande de regarder une vidéo strictement confidentielle " qui sera une bombe ".

(La vidéo peut être longue à charger !)

Intox sur le coronavirus

Comment vérifier cette information avant de l'envoyer à ton rédacteur en chef ?

Cette personne a parlé de l'institut Pasteur, d"un complot pour que les laboratoires gagnent de l'argent, d'un brevet EP 1 694 829 B1 déposé en 2003 à Hanoï...

Alors, ce brevet, vrai ou faux ?

VRAI

FAUX

Intox sur le coronavirus

Comme dans de nombreuses vidéos complotistes, il y a une vérité. L'institut Pasteur a bien déposé un brevetpour le coronavirus en 2003. Mais il s'agit d'un autre type de coronavirus, le SARS-CoV-1. De nombreux sites d'informations ont démenti cette infox !

Niveau 3 validé !

Intox sur le coronavirus

Ca y est l'armée est déployée pour forcer les gens à rentrer chez eux ! C'est ton tonton Rémi qui t'a envoyé une capture d'écran que lui a transmise son amie Cassie (tu peux cliquer sur l'image pour la voir en plus grand)

Intox sur le coronavirus

Avant d'envoyer cette image, tu peux vérifier si elle a bien été prise à Nantes et dans le cadre du confinement. Quel outil vas-tu utiliser ?

Tu retweetes immédiatement, pas moyen de laisser passer le scoop...

Tu fais une recherche dans Google Images

Tu demandes à l'auteur sa source

Intox sur le coronavirus

Aïe... Cette image n'a pas du tout été prise dans le contexte du coronavirus. Un de tes followeurs te le fait remarquer. Tu publies un démenti et tu cherches comment retrouver l'origine de cette photo !

Intox sur le coronavirus

Ce n'est pas un mauvais réflexe, mais quand on regarde bien le profil, ce compte n'a pas l'air très fiable. Il pourrait continuer à mentir. Cherche une autre méthode !

Intox sur le coronavirus

Dans la plupart des moteurs de recherches, il existe une recherche inversée par image. Dans Google > Images, il faut cliquer sur l'icône de l'appareil photo et de sélectionner la photo qui t'intéresse, tu verras si cette image a déjà été postée avant.Dans le cas présent, en faisant la recherche inversée, tu trouves des articles qui démentent l'info : l'image a bien été prise cette semaine, mais il s'agissait de simples maoeuvres militaires sans aucun lien avec le coronavirus !

Niveau 4 validé !

Intox sur le coronavirus

Sur le compte instagram de ta star préférée, une recette validée par un médecin pour lutter contre le coronavirus !!

Intox sur le coronavirus

Que faire si on a des symptômes du Coronavirus ? (Clique sur la bonne réponse)

Je suis les conseils d'Amy Ginhouse

Je prends du paracétamol, ils l'ont dit sur Toubissimo

Intox sur le coronavirus

Attention, les remèdes "naturels" ne sont pas forcément sans conséquences. Certaines huiles essentielles peuvent même être dangereuses pour certaines personnes ! Les conseils de cette star ne sont vraiment pas à suivre pour lutter contre ce virus !!!

Intox sur le coronavirus

Même si cela fait partie des recommandations pour soigner le virus, on ne prend pas du paracatémol sans un avis médical. Comme tous les médicaments, une surdose peut s'avérer très dangereuse pour ta santé !

Intox sur le coronavirus

Il ne faut appeler les urgences que si les symptômes du virus s'aggravent (des difficultés respiratoires, des signes d'étouffement/essoufflement ou de malaise). Ces services ont déjà énormément de travail durant cette épidémie, autant ne pas les surcharger !!

Intox sur le coronavirus

En cas d'apparition de symptômes de la maladie, toux et fièvre (ou sensation de fièvre), il est demandé de rester à domicile, d'éviter les contacts et d'appeler son médecin traitant (ou la permanence de soins de la région) ou de demander une téléconsultation, mais de ne surtout pas se rendre en cabinet.

Niveau 5 validé !

Excuse me, I need to go to the King's palace... Do you know where that is ?

Sure ! Follow me, I'll take you there.

Hey you ! I can tell you're not from here. Follow me please.

Follow the guard

Run away

Leave the city

I heard about your crash. You're welcome to stay as long as you want.

Someone is coming...

Cool handshake !

Ask about the train you saw flying.

Ask about Wakanda.

So here is the lucky one ! Welcome to Wakanda !

Wakanda is a small nation in North East Africa. Our precise location needs to remain secret, but I can tell you that we're near Sudan and Democratic Rebuplic of the Congo.

For centuries, we have remained in isolation and are now considered the most technologically advanced nation of the planet. Birnin Zana is the capital and largest city.

"The most technologically advanced nation?"

Is there anything else you'd like to know ?

You like computers, don't you ?

Well, we're probably twenty years ahead of the rest of the world, technologically speaking. You might call me a nerd, but I really am a high-tech fan, and I do like our toys... they all run on vibranium here !

Vibranium. It's a rare metallic ore with energy-manipulating properties. It was first deposited here by a meteorite 1,000,000 years ago. We believe that the meteorite was a gift from the gods.

We decided to forge it into weapons. However the radiation of the meteorite also had a side effect, turning some of the tribesmen into "Demon Spirits".

Please tell me more !

Ok, now I get it.

A chief called Bashenga prayed to the Panther God to give him the strength to defeat these demons, becoming the first "Black Panther". Then he united the tribes to form the nation of Wakanda.

There's a movie about our origins. Wanna watch it ? It's a classic !

Wakanda is a small nation in North East Africa. Our precise location needs to remain secret, but I can tell you that we're near Sudan and Democratic Rebuplic of the Congo.

Birnin Zana is the capital and largest city.

Where am I, exactly ?

Anything else you'd like to know ?

Well, I guess it's quite different from where you live... We have great technology here, and it all runs on vibranium !

Good bye Princess !

I need to get back to work now.

Good bye, my friend. I wish you well.

Look for food

Walk around the city

Enough tourism for today, I really need to eat now...

Go to my daughter's ! She lives nearby and I can tell you she's a great cook ! I taught her everything she knows. Get on that train to the last stop. Then follow the smell !

Excuse me ma'am, I don't have any money, but I'm really hungry... Do you know where I could eat something ?

No problem ! None is left to starve, here in Wakanda. Take a sit, lunch is almost ready.

Wakandan bouillon rice

Good morning ! Your mama sent me here. I am really starving but I don't have any money...

Well it was delicious. Thanks again, bye !

Thank you ma'am ! This meal was a real treat ! How can I repay you ?

No need ! You know in Africa, it's tradition to share our food.

We don't use cars here, so you won't find any taxi. But the train will take you wherever you want !

Man, this is a big city ! I think I'll leave town for a while now, I could use a little quiet, to think about what to do next...

Hello ! I don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable, but I think you're all really beautiful. I love your jewels and your outfit !

Thank you ! You're sweet. It's a bit of a mix of everything. You know here in Wakanda, we draw our inspiration from all african fashions. We're proud of our continent and its ancestral know-how.

For example, you may have seen people with blankets, which are traditionally worn by Sotho people from the Kingdom of Lesotho.

Our female special forces are dressed like the Maasai people of Kenya.

You probably saw lip plates, just like the ones used by the Mursi and Surma women of Ethiopia

Our Queen Ramonda herself has a flared shaped hat, designed after the traditional Zulu married woman's hat.

The neck rings worn by the royal guards were also inspired by the South Ndebele people of South Africa.

You may also see women with the traditional Himba hairstyle, just like the Himba people of north-western Namibia and Angola

You sure know your cultural heritage ! Nice to meet you, bye !

Even our alphabet is inspired by Nsibidi : an ancient Nigerian language which dates as far back as the 4th century ! But you'd better go now, or I could keep talking all day !

I should probably go back to the city before the sun goes down...

Who comes now, daring to profane this sacred temple ?

I'm just a humble human. May I ask who you are ?

How dare you even ask who I am ! I should rip you apart right away !

To protect my people, I chose a champion : T'Challa, and offered him Heart-Shaped Herb, which gives him super strenght, in order to become the new Black Panther, leader of the Panther Clan, and King of Wakanda.

Humans call me BAST, the Panther God, Son of RA, Patron God of Wakanda.

Please don't eat me...

I summoned you for a reason. Go back to the royal palace and warn T'challa : N'Jadaka will try to take his throne and start a global war. If he succeeds, the planet shall fall into dark ages.

GO !!!

Is this all a dream ? Anyhow, there's just one way to go now... I must warn T'Challa, and maybe he'll help me in return...

I've been walking for hours now, I'm so tired ! I fear I might be lost...

The buildings in this city are really amazing... although they remind me of places I have seen before...

The tower I saw, when I first arrived...

...really looks like the Namemba Tower, in Brazzaville, in the Republic of the Congo.

These towers on the royal palace...

...reminds me of the Big Mosque in Timbuktu, Mali.

And this tower I saw this morning ?

Even those falls I saw from the plane !

They looked just like Oribi Gorge in South Africa !

The exact copy of Abidjan's pyramid, in Ivory Coast.

Even "Wakanda" sounds like "Wakamba", the name of a tribe from Kenya ! It feels like the whole African continent is represented in one city. Weird... But for now, I really need to find my way back to the palace. God I'm tired !

You're too late, my brother is about to confront N'Jadaka in a duel to the death...

T'Challa is killed during the fight, N'Jadaka becomes the new king.

Run away

Challenge N'Jadaka to a duel.

You were defeated too. You will rest now and forever in the Ancestral Plane, as a true Wakandan warrior.

This is where your journey ends.

Wakanda is a fictional universe and not a real place. However, it is said to have been inspired by East Africa.

Ryan Coogler, the director of Black Panther, claimed that his depiction of this fictitious state of Wakanda was inspired by Lesotho.

Lesotho is an enclaved country within the border of South Africa, it has a population of around 2 million. Its capital and largest city is Maseru.

Next

The Wakandan Maglev Train is a highly advanced magnetic levitation train used in Wakanda. It is used both for public transportation in the Golden City and for carrying Vibranium at high speed inside the Great Mound.

While we may not have Vibranium, Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) trains actually exist. There are only three countries in the world right now that have them : China, South Korea and Japan.

Dubai is actually working with Elon Musk to build a Hyperloop : a Maglev train that operates within a vacuum tunnel. Without any air resistance, it can reach speeds of up to 1200km/h.

In the movie, we can see Shuri remotely driving a car while T'Challa's battling the baddies.

While we're still some way from remote-piloted cars being commercially available, you may find self-driving vehicles in London and Singapore...

...and even self-flying taxis in Dubai, some time in 2021.

The reason for it : 90% of the production is under the control of the Chinese Congo Dongfang International Mining, which exports the raw material to China and to various multinationals, Apple for example, whose plants are in China, and the head office... not far from the Hollywood studios where Wakanda's tale was conceived.

The whole film says it: the power of Wakanda rests on vibranium.

Some critics wanted to see a parallel with cobalt. The Democratic Republic of Congo alone has 60% of the resources of this metal, absolutely indispensable for the manufacture of smartphones and electric cars.

Not to mention the working conditions in the mines of the south of the country, with shovels and picks, the repeated fatal accidents that occur there, this incredible wealth of natural resource has failed to enrich the country.

"We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe." - T'Challa

Talk to Evie, a friendly bot. Or if you're not keen on Evie, there's also WillBot (William Shakespeare), BoiBot or PewdieBot :).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Please enable Javascript and cookies for Evie to work properly.

may not be suitable for children - must be agreed by parent or guardian

it learns and imitates, is social content and aims to pass the Turing Test

can seem rude or inappropriate - talk with caution and at your own risk

the bot does not understand you, and cannot mean anything it 'says'

© Existor Ltd 2007-2016

Evie is a learning AI. The things she says were learned from a human being at some point in the last 10 years. The information is stored in a database which Evie looks through every time she needs to say something. Evie figures out what to say using proprietary software created by Rollo Carpenter and Existor.

The Evie chatbot has had a huge impact on social media over the last few years. She is probably the most popular artificial personality on YouTube. She has appeared in several videos by PewdiePie, the most subscribed YouTuber in the world. This includes a flirting video with over 12 million views! Evie has been filmed speaking many different languages. She chats with Squeezie in French, El Rubius and El Rincón De Giorgio in Spanish, GermanLetsPlay and ConCrafter in German, NDNG - Enes Batur in Turkish, Stuu Games in Polish and jacksepticeye, ComedyShortsGamer and KSIOlajidebtHD in English. And that is a very small selection. Evie shares her database with Cleverbot, which is an internet star in its own right. Cleverbot conversations have long been shared on Twitter, Facebook, websites, forums and bulletin boards. We are currently working to give Evie some more artificial companions, such as the male avatar Boibot.

Evie's capacities go beyond mere verbal or textual interactions; the AI utilised in Evie also extends to controlling the timing and degree of facial expressions and movement. Her visually displayed reactions and emotions blend and vary in surprisingly complex ways, and a range of voices are delivered to your browser, along with lip synching information, to bring the avatar to life! Evie uses Flash if your browser supports it, but still works even without, thanks to our own Existor Avatar Player technology, allowing you to enjoy her to the full on iOS and Android.

Along with the continued development of our avatars, we are also investigating machine learning and deep learning techniques, and working on the creation of a short term memory for our bots. This will allow humans interacting with our AI to develop genuine human-like relationships with their bot; any personal information that is exchanged will be remembered by the bot and recalled in the correct context at the appropriate time. The bots will get to know their human companion, and utilise this knowledge to form warmer and more personal interactions.

"Dearest Creature in Creation..."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Listen to this tricky little poem and you can practise your pronunciation and listening skills, and d on't worry if you don't know all the words and their different pronunciation. Even Lynne got Arkansas wrong the first time round!

In fact, this was the first poem Lynne ever recorded for the site, and she's re-recorded it three times now, just to improve the quality. This will probably be the last time, unless someone buys her a recording studio. You will still need a compatible player and an up to date browser. Feel free to link to this page, and to use the sound recordings in the classroom, but please don't hotlink to them or republish them.

Poem of English Pronunciation

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.

Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhymes with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.

Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.

Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.

Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won't it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.

Finally, which rhymes with enough?
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice isgive it up!

By the 1960s, [...] young people were finally given a voice and freedom to do what they wanted. The parents of the Sixties teenage generation had spent their youth fighting for their lives in the Second World War and wanted their own children to be able to have more fun and freedom

https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/The-1960s-The-Decade-that-Shook-Britain/

Technology

One of the biggest, defining aspects of the 1960s was music. It wasn't until the early Sixties and the emergence of 'British Invasion' groups like The Beatles, that music truly began its revolutionary changes. The Beatles are an excellent example of how music influenced the lives of young Britons. Although they continued the rock and roll genre of the 1950s, by 1967 Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band became the turning point in music and inspired other musicians, such as The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones, to experiment with new sounds and develop innovative pieces of music.

Music in the 1960s

https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/The-1960s-The-Decade-that-Shook-Britain/

Turning point: Un tournant

Stand up for: Défendre, se battre pour

Belief: Opinion (dans ce contexte)

Clothing in the 1960s

Fashion in the decade mirrored many of the social changes of the Sixties. Mary Quant became famous for popularising the mini skirt which became the symbol of 1960s fashion. The mini was designed to be free and liberating for women, allowing them to "run and jump". Her fashion designs used simple geometric shapes and colours which gave women a new kind of femininity. Women were free to wear more playful, youthful clothes that would have seemed outrageous ten years before. By the late Sixties, psychedelic prints and vibrant colours began appearing on clothes as the hippie movement gathered pace.

https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/The-1960s-The-Decade-that-Shook-Britain/

Mirror: Refléter

Epitome: Incarnation

Playful (vêtement): Léger

Youthful: Juvénile (plus jeune dans l'esprit)

Seem: Paraître

Technology in the 1960s

Technological advancements of the 1960s drastically changed how people spent their leisure time. The increase in employment in factories and increase in money allowed people to spend more on leisure activities. Colour television and pocket transistor radios allowed people to spend their free time listening to music and watching TV. Every teenager owned a transistor radio allowing them to listen to pop music on the move. The microwave oven shortened the amount of time women spent in the kitchen, allowing them more freedom and time to enjoy themselves. By the end of the decade, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin achieved the impossible by becoming the first men on the moon in 1969. It ended the decade on a note of optimism and the ability to dream for something bigger and better.

Leisure time: Temps libre

https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/The-1960s-The-Decade-that-Shook-Britain/

Women in the 1960s

Feminism began to become a more influential ideology as more jobs became available to young women in the Sixties. This allowed them to move away from home and become more independent. The contraceptive pill became legalised for all women in 1967 and gave them the opportunity to broaden their hopes and dreams far beyond motherhood and marriage. In 1968 at a Ford factory in Dagenham, 850 women went on strike, arguing for equal pay with their male co-workers. This action resulted in the passing of the Equal Pay Act of 1970. Women were becoming increasingly involved in politics. For example, in 1968, Barbara Castle became the first and only woman to be appointed First Secretary of State and women began finding a voice in society and the running of the country.

Broaden: Élargir

Hope: Espoir

Motherhood: Etre mère

Factory: Usine

Involve in: Impliqué dans

Be appointed: Etre nommé
