1
Phil Ralph run!
2
Thanks guys.
3
Ah yeah!
4
Today we're learning English with Despicable Me.
5
So the clips we'll watch today from the fourth movie in the series, when we meet Gru's son, Gru Jr, are especially useful for parents.
6
And wouldn't it be great as a parent to talk about your kids in English with other empathetic parents?
7
Or imagine feeling natural sharing about your job in English?
8
Well, you can discuss topics just like these right now for free in our new speaking club on the RealLife app.

11
and I'll tell you more about that in just a little bit.
12
Alright now let's meet all the Groo's with a funny scene in their kitchen.
13
Who's my favorite husband?
14
Did you remember to get the milk?
15
Well, yes, they had a few kinds.
16
They got the almond milk, soy milk, hemp milk, oat milk, goat milk, chocolate milk, half and half powdered and of magnesia.
17
What about regular milk?
18
No, they don't make that anymore.
19
Nope.
20
Wait a minute.
21
One, two, three girls, one wife, something is missing.
22
No, I think that's all of us.
23
You know what?
24
I keep forgetting.
25
This guy There's my boy!
26
There he is!
27
A coochie coochie coochie coochie!
28
Where is daddy's hug?
29
Oh, looks like somebody's a little cranky!
30
Behind that sourpuss, I know you love your dada!
31
Go on, say it!
32
Dada!
33
Dada!
34
Yes, of course he loves you!
35
He just doesn't show it on his face!
36
Or with his body language.
37
Right, Gru Jr., come on.
38
Show Daddy how much you love him.
39
Oh, I know what will make you happy!
40
Mmm, Bahama Medley!
41
Look!
42
Oh, it's so yummy!
43
That really tastes like the Bahamas!
44
Alright, let's start off with a hilarious cultural critique.
45
Did you remember to get the milk?
46
Well, yes, they had a few kinds.
47
They got the almond milk, soy milk, hemp milk, oat milk, goat milk, chocolate milk, half and half powdered and of magnesia.
48
What about regular milk?
49
No, they don't make that anymore.
50
So in many countries like the USA, there's been a revolution of people switching to alternatives for cow's milk
51
because it does not digest well for them or to support animal well-being.
52
All of these trendy milk alternatives really do exist on grocery shelves.
53
Half and half might not be familiar to you.
54
It's half cream and half milk.
55
Americans often use it in their coffee.
56
And then he even adds milk of magnesia, which isn't a milk at all.
57
It's actually a medicine people take for an upset stomach.
58
So this is just making fun of this trend to drink milk alternatives.
59
There was a bit of great grammar for us to look at here.
60
Here, remember is followed by to plus verb.
61
Remember to get.
62
We use this pattern when we're talking about not forgetting to do something, a task you need to complete.
63
Compare that to remember plus verb and ing, which we use when we're recalling a memory of something that already happened.
64
For example, did you remember to lock the door?
65
A task.
66
Did you do it?
67
I remember locking the door.
68
A memory.
69
You're recalling doing it.
70
So Lucy is asking if Guru didn't forget this task at the store, not asking him to recall a memory.
71
Moving on, we meet the newest member of Guru's family.
72
My boy is a warm, affectionate way the parents, especially dads, refer to their sons.
73
Now this is not exactly a word you'd find in the dictionary.
74
It's baby talk.
75
Parents all over the English speaking world make this silly sound
76
while tickling or playing with a baby to get them to smile or laugh.
77
Now Gru Jr. is not so enthusiastic to see his father.
78
Where is daddy song?
79
Oh, looks like somebody's a little cranky.
80
Behind that sourpuss.
81
I know you love your dada.
82
Go on, say it.
83
Dada.
84
Dada.
85
Alright, first off, what do you think cranky means?
86
Excited and full of energy?
87
Irritable and easily annoyed?
88
Sleepy and calm?
89
Right!
90
When someone, like a baby, is cranky, they're in a bad mood.
91
This often could be because they're tired, hungry, or just annoyed.
92
Think of how a toddler acts right before nap time.
93
That's cranky.
94
Listen to this example.
95
It's not an angel Lilo, I don't even think it's a dog!
96
We just have to take him back!
97
He's just cranky because it's his bedtime.
98
And sourpuss is a fun sounding word.
99
This is someone who has a grumpy, unhappy expression on their face.
100
Almost like they just bit into something sour, like a lemon.
101
Here's an example.
102
Oh well well, if it is an old sourpuss.
103
My name is Mook.
104
Finally, dada is simply the cute, babyish version of daddy or father, usually one of the first words that babies try to say.
105
Gru's desperately trying to coax, or gently persuade, grew junior into saying it.
106
Now let's practice some native pronunciation, which will help you to understand fast speaking natives better.
107
Come on, show daddy how much you love him.
108
This is called connected speech.
109
It's how we natives cut, reduce, and link our words when speaking fluently.
110
And it can make it a real challenge to understand us.
111
Pronouns like her, them, and him often have their first consonant sound dropped her,
112
er, them, um, him, im.
113
So Lucy didn't say love him, she said love him, love him.
114
Similarly we could say love her, lover, lover, or love them, love him, love him.
115
Your speaking will only improve with lots of practice, so listen to Lucy again and try to say that just like her.
116
How much you love them.
117
And we heard another great instance of connected speech from Lucy earlier.
118
Let's listen to that again in practice.
119
What about regular milk?
120
Let's look at two patterns with T in American English.
121
First, when a word ends in T, we often cut the sound off at the back of the throat.
122
So instead of about, we say about, about.
123
Then, when a T is between two vowels, it becomes a D sound, like in water and butter.
124
All together, it's what about?
125
What about?
126
Listen again and repeat.
127
What about regular milk?
128
What about...
129
Alright, let's understand what treats Gru was trying to give his son.
130
Oh, I know what will make you happy!
131
Mmm, Bahama medley!
132
Look!
133
Oh, it's so yummy!
134
Mmm, mmm, mmm!
135
That really tastes like Bahamas!
136
A medley is a mix or combination of different things blended together.
137
Here, it's a fruity Bahamas-themed baby food blend.
138
But you'll also hear this word used with music.
139
A medley of songs is when a few different songs get mixed together into one performance.
140
He says...
141
Ah!
142
That really tastes like the Bahamas!
143
So the joke is that obviously the Bahamas are islands and don't have a taste.
144
Once again, it's making fun of trendy foods and advertising.
145
You know what else makes a melody?
146
When two people from different corners of the world get together and share their unique cultures.
147
Honestly, some of the most fascinating conversations I've had were picking the brain of someone from a country I've never been to.
148
to really understand that person's perspective on the world.
149
So that's another great reason to get your free membership to the Real Life Speaking Club on our app
150
that I mentioned earlier.
151
Every single day, you get a new fascinating topic that you can discuss with people from all around the world
152
in real conversations and become more fluent.
153
It's also easier to speak when you know exactly what to talk about, right?
154
This really is the best way to get unstuck, to go from intermediate learner to advanced English speaker.
155
And if you're nervous about speaking, you can practice the questions with your AI coach first.
156
And again, the club is free to join.
157
So why don't you start your adventure now with the link in the description and make new English speaking friends today.
158
All right, let's watch our next scene where we can see more hijinks or energetic fun between father and son.
159
Okay, Daddy is officially exhausted.
160
I changed your timer.
161
I've got your bottle, your binky, and here are your balloons There you go.
162
You like those right?
163
All right little bit of me time
164
Someone put
165
a glitter bomb in my locker.
166
Teenagers are the worst.
167
Yeah, babies are no picnic either.
168
So if you're a parent, there's a lot of useful vocabulary for you to learn in this scene.
169
Okay, daddy is officially exhausted.
170
I changed your diaper, I've got your buttle, your binky, and here are your balloons.
171
There you go.
172
These are diapers.
173
And this is a binky, or pacifier.
174
And fun fact, in British English, a diaper is called a nappy, and a binky is called a dummy.
175
Now, every parent needs more of the next expression Gru used.
176
Alright, a little bit of me time.
177
Me time is time you spend just for yourself, doing something relaxing or enjoyable, away from work, kids, or responsibilities.
178
long day of parenting, Gru finally gets a few seconds to just breathe and enjoy a coffee.
179
Listen to these examples.
180
Please silence all calls, Mina.
181
I need some me time.
182
I think I just need a little bit of me time.
183
You know, maybe sometimes a superhero just wants a little me time.
184
Well, Gru's me time does not turn out quite as planned, as Gru Jr. brilliantly starts playing pranks on him.
185
Then we see someone has been playing pranks on Agnes too.
186
Listen to how she describes this prank.
187
Someone put a glitter bomb in my locker.
188
Teenagers are the worst.
189
Yeah, babies are no picnic either.
190
So I'm sure you've seen lockers like this in American movies about high schools.
191
And this is a glitter bomb.
192
Imagine going to open your locker and hanging up like poor Agnes.
193
On a lighter note, if you've never seen Mark Robber's famous video where he pranks thieves with a glitter bomb, it's a must-watch and a great way to practice your English.
194
We see that same American tea pattern we saw earlier when Margo says Someone put a glitter bomb in my locker.
195
So put a becomes put a put a and glitter becomes glitter
196
glitter listen to Margo again
197
and repeat someone put a glitter bomb in my locker Someone put a glitter bomb in my locker.
198
Yeah, babies are no picnic either.
199
So what do you think no picnic means?
200
Something that's really fun and relaxing?
201
Something that happens outdoors?
202
Something that's difficult or unpleasant?
203
Awesome!
204
So this idiom is pretty straightforward.
205
A picnic is supposed to be easy, relaxing, and enjoyable.
206
When we say something is no picnic, we mean it's the opposite, hard, or stressful.
207
Keep in mind, we only say this in the negative.
208
That is, you can't say, it's a picnic, referring to something easy.
209
Gru is saying, neither babies nor teenagers are a walk in the park.
210
Which, by the way, is another idiom that means the exact same thing.
211
This one you can use in the positive.
212
Like learning English with these lessons is a walk in the park.
213
I hope you've laughed a lot so far.
214
Now comes the most important part of the lesson, your test.
215
You'll watch all the scenes again, this time without subtitles, and answer some quiz questions.
216
Don't worry, I'm sure for you this will be a walk in the park.
217
Where's my favorite husband?
218
Which sentence is correct?
219
Did you remember to get the milk?
220
Oh, yes, they had a few kinds.
221
They got the almond milk, soy milk, hemp milk, oat milk, goat milk, chocolate milk, half and half powdered and of magnesia.
222
What about regular milk?
223
No, they don't make that anymore.
224
Nope.
225
Wait a minute.
226
One, two, three girls, one wife, something is missing.
227
No, I think that's all of us.
228
You know what?
229
I keep forgetting.
230
This guy!
231
Oh, ho, ho!
232
There's my boy!
233
There he is!
234
A coochie, coochie, coochie, coochie!
235
Where is daddy's hug?
236
Oh, looks like somebody's a little cranky.
237
If someone is being cranky, they are irritable and in a bad mood, cheerful and playful, very tired and sleepy, about to fall asleep.
238
Behind that sourpuss, I know you love your dada.
239
Go on, say it.
240
Dada.
241
Dada.
242
Yes, of course he loves you.
243
He just doesn't show it on his face.
244
Or with his body language.
245
Right, Gru Jr., come on.
246
Show daddy how much you love him.
247
Oh, I know what will make you happy!
248
A mix of flavors or music is called a Medley, Rhythm, Rhapsody.
249
Mmm!
250
Bahama Medley!
251
Look!
252
Oh, it's so yummy!
253
Mmm, mmm, mmm!
254
That really tastes like Bahamas!
255
Okay, Daddy is officially exhausted.
256
I changed your timer, I've got your buttle, your binky, and here are your balloons!
257
There you go!
258
You like those, right?
259
After a long week at work, I really need some... to relax and recharge.
260
After a long week at work, I really need some me time to relax and recharge.
261
Alright, a little bit of me time.
262
Mmm.
263
Mmm.
264
Mmm.
265
Mmm.
266
AHHHHH!
267
Ugh.
268
AHHHHH!
269
Ugh.
270
Someone put a glitter bomb in my locker.
271
Teenagers are the worst.
272
Yeah, babies are no picnic either.
273
What does no picnic mean?
274
Something enjoyable and easy?
275
Something difficult or unpleasant?
276
A meal eaten outdoors?
277

Kontext und Hintergrund
Der Clip aus Despicable Me zeigt eine alltägliche Szene in Gru's Küche, die perfekt für Englischlerner ist, die sich auf tägliche Gespräche vorbereiten. Die Dialoge handeln von einfachen, aber relevanten Themen wie Milcharten und familiären Beziehungen – ideal, um natürliche Sprache zu lernen. Besonders nützlich ist die Szene für Eltern, die über ihre Kinder oder alltägliche Aufgaben auf Englisch sprechen wollen. Und wenn du schon immer deine Englische Aussprache verbessern wolltest, ist dies der richtige Ausgangspunkt!
Top 5 Sätze für den täglichen Gebrauch
- "Did you remember to get the milk?" – Perfekt, um nach alltäglichen Aufgaben zu fragen.
- "Looks like somebody's a little cranky!" – Ein liebevoller Weg, um einen launigen Menschen zu beschreiben (gut für Eltern!).
- "Behind that sourpuss, I know you love your dada!" – Übertragen: "Hinter dem strengen Gesicht liebst du deinen Papa!" – Toll für emotionale Sätze.
- "What about regular milk?" – Ein einfacher Weg, nach einer spezifischen Option zu fragen.
- "That really tastes like the Bahamas!" – Ideal, um Geschmackserlebnisse zu beschreiben.
Schritt-für-Schritt-Shadowing-Anleitung
Um mit diesem Clip Englisch Shadowing zu üben, folge diesen Schritten: 1. Höre den Clip zuerst einmal ganz durch, um den Kontext zu verstehen. 2. Wähle einen kurzen Abschnitt (z. B. die Milch-Diskussion) und höre ihn langsam wieder. 3. Wiederhole sofort nach dem Sprecher – versuche, Intonation und Rhythmus zu kopieren (das nennt man shadow speech). 4. Übe einzelne Sätze, bis sie flüssig klingen. Achte darauf, wie Wörter wie "hemp milk" oder "sourpuss" ausgesprochen werden – das hilft, deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern. 5. Kombiniere mehrere Sätze, um die Gesprächsfluß zu üben. Mit dieser Methode wirst du schnell merken, wie natürlicher dein Englisch klingt!
Shadowing ist eine effektive Technik, um Sprache intuitiv zu lernen – also probiere es gleich mit dem Clip aus. Du wirst sehen, wie viel Spaß es macht, die Szenen nachzuahmen und gleichzeitig dein Sprechen zu verbessern!
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | there's been · I've had · you've seen |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | is followed · is called |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | someone who has · pronunciation, which will |
| Superlativ the -est / the most … – das Höchste oder Niedrigste einer Gruppe | the newest · the most fascinating · the best |
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
