Shadowing Practice: Clips to Watch While You Eat: Part 2 | Young Sheldon Compilation - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
Sorry.
2
I know this is the most fun thing in the world.
3
I was happy just riding in the front seat of your car.
4
You probably hear this a lot, but you're like Princess Pretty.
5
I don't know about that.
6
But you are definitely Princess Material.
7
Well, tell them a lot to wear makeup.
8
This is as hot as I get.
9
You don't need makeup.
10
I hope you're right.
11
Mom's just have to wait till I'm 16.
12
That'll get here sooner than you think.
13
Sure doesn't feel like it.
14
Don't be in a rush.
15
Honestly, I'd rather be your age again.
16
Really?
17
Yeah.
18
Being a grown up is, uh, complicated.
19
Maybe if we make a wish at the same time, we could switch places.
20
You think?
21
It's worth a try.
22
OK.
23
What do we need to do?
24
We close our eyes and the exact same time say, I wish I could switch places.
25
Ready?
26
One, two, three.
27
I wish I could switch places.
28
Well?
29
I'm still here.
30
You?
31
Same.
32
That's too bad.
33
I didn't really want to drive home. Can I anyway?
34
Sure.
35
Really?
36
No. Please, can we keep her?
37
No, we cannot keep her.
38
We don't have a dog because of Sheldon.
39
Why can't I have Veronica?
40
I'm not participating in this conversation.
41
We could give Sheldon to Veronica's mom like a trade.
42
I'll get it, Mrs. Cooper.
43
Look how helpful she is.
44
Come on.
45
Out.
46
I'll have the ribeye medium rare.
47
And for you?
48
Uh, just the house salad, please.
49
Very good.
50
House salad?
51
You watching your figure?
52
I have a physical tomorrow.
53
Oh.
54
So your plan is to start eating healthy now?
55
Can't hurt.
56
It ain't gonna undo 70 years of red meat and beer.
57
I'm not trying to undo it.
58
I'm just trying to hide it under some lettuce.
59
How's that salad?
60
It sucks.
61
How's your steak?
62
You know how they overcook it sometimes so it's a little bit dry?
63
Uh-huh.
64
Not this time.
65
It's so good.
66
You know what else is good?
67
This radish.
68
Would you like some steak?
69
Yes.
70
Then you probably should have ordered some.
71
It's delicious.
72
You are not a very nice lady.
73
It's no big deal.
74
It's a colonoscopy. So?
75
So one of those words means colon and the other means shoving a camera up it.
76
Hmm.
77
I'm surprised you need one.
78
Did you tell him about the salad?
79
It's not funny.
80
Stop being such a baby.
81
something I have pushed out of my body.
82
You can do this.
83
I got an idea.
84
Why don't we do it together?
85
What?
86
Now, come on.
87
It'll be romantic.
88
You're weird.
89
You'll be happy to know I went out and got a checkup.
90
Fantastic.
91
Yeah, great, just great.
92
Now you can shut up about it.
93
Well, how'd it go?
94
Good news, bad news.
95
Uh-uh.
96
Good news is I'm fine.
97
Well, now, isn't that comforting enough?
98
Don't be smug.
99
So what's the bad news?
100
He wants me to have a colonoscopy.
101
Great!
102
Oh my gosh, we can do it together!
103
Can't you just feel the romance?
104
No, you weirdo!
105
I can't believe we have to drink so much of that garbage.
106
The important thing is we get to do it together, dear.
107
You are so full of crap.
108
Well, not for much longer.
109
Excuse me.
110
The festivities have begun.
111
You taking that whole thing with you?
112
I'm gonna be a while.
113
Sorry I'm late.
114
Shalom.
115
What's on your head?
116
A yarmulke.
117
A yarmulke what?
118
It's a special Jewish hat.
119
It reminds the wearer that God is always over you.
120
Mom?
121
Oh, come on.
122
It's funny.
123
It's not funny, and it's not a yarmulke.
124
It is a coaster I crocheted at Bible camp.
125
Are you going to say something to him?
126
Normally I would, but I got bigger problems right now.
127
Let's just say Grace.
128
Hold on.
129
Are these hot dogs kosher?
130
Um, how can I help you?
131
I'm currently a Baptist, and I'd like to convert to Judaism.
132
A Baptist named Sheldon.
133
Okay.
134
And why do you want to convert?
135
Very simple.
136
It's my intention to become a great scientist, and I couldn't help but notice most of the great scientists are Jewish.
137
So logic dictates it's time to switch teams.
138
Well, I'm sure there are many Baptist scientists you could emulate.
139
That's kind of you to say, but other than Cornelius Treble in the 1500s, it's pretty slim pickings.
140
Well, Sheldon, you sound like a very smart young man.
141
Oh, you have no idea.
142
Can I ask how your parents feel about this?
143
Well, when I presented them with my plan, the words over my dead body were used.
144
I'm not surprised.
145
But they were similarly resistant when I wanted to get an ant farm, and eventually they came around.
146
All right, here's what I'm going to tell you to do.
147
Read your Bible.
148
Already did.
149
Cover to cover.
150
Really?
151
Quiz me.
152
No, that's okay.
153
I believe you.
154
All right?
155
My advice to you is to stay with the faith of your parents.
156
What else you got?
157
Okay.
158
Then I'm going to tell you to be your own man.
159
But I want to be a great scientist like Albert Einstein.
160
Sheldon, when your days are over, God will never ask you, why weren't you Einstein?
161
But he might ask you, why weren't you Sheldon?
162
And you might want to unhand me.
163
I'm friends with Tommy Clarkson.
164
Is that so?
165
Yes.
166
Hello, Tommy.
167
I have some unfortunate news.
168
What's that?
169
I boasted to Jason Davies that you're my friend and things took an unexpected turn.
170
You're scheduled to fight him at 3 p.m on the basketball court.
171
I don't want to fight Jason Davies.
172
I don't think you have a choice.
173
He was pretty adamant.
174
Fine.
175
I'll deal with him.
176
You do have the option of simply not showing up.
177
That's not how fights work, Sheldon.
178
Why?
179
Do they take attendance?
180
Are you familiar with the story of David and Goliath from the Bible?
181
Yeah.
182
That's too bad.
183
I had a nice speech prepared.
184
I'll say it anyway.
185
You may have the size advantage, but like David and his sling, I also possess an air-based weapon.
186
So I'll give you one more chance.
187
Are you willing to step down?
188
I'll tell you what.
189
You take the first shot, then it's my turn.
190
Very well.
191
Three.
192
Two.
193
One.
194
Ow!
195
Son of a bitch!
196
I'm going to run.
197
What is that?
198
It's a cotton candy machine.
199
Why?
200
It's a machine that makes free cotton candy.
201
It's not free, you paid for it.
202
Meemaw paid for it.
203
And it's still better than lame stocks.
204
You're going to end up with a stomach ache while I get to be part of America's favorite electronics retailer.
205
What's that?
206
I figured out you can put all kinds of candy in the machine.
207
Try this.
208
Why is it brown?
209
It's butterscotch from Meemaw's candy bowl.
210
I think that candy's older than you.
211
Doesn't taste like it.
212
Not bad.
213
I'm going to bring a bunch to school.
214
How much are you going to charge for it?
215
Nothing.
216
They're my friends.
217
You think Ronald McDonald let his friends eat for free?
218
Ronald McDonald isn't real.
219
The point is, you shouldn't give this away for free.
220
How much would I even charge?
221
How about 50 cents?
222
They only cost me like two cents to make.
223
Yeah, but you're not factoring in your time and the cost of the machine you bought
224
And the value of the brainpower it took to think of Butterscotch cotton candy.
225
Yeah.
226
No one else thought of putting old lady candy in a cotton candy machine.
227
Why should they get it for free?
228
Welcome to business.
229
Thank you for having me.
230
So I said 70 cents for one or two for a dollar, and everyone bought two.
231
People love a deal.
232
I know.
233
I sold out.
234
Then you gotta start charging more.
235
How much more?
236
Just raise the price a little at a time until you see your profits top out.
237
Think they'd pay a dollar a piece?
238
Sure, just tell them it's a special lemonade edition.
239
People go nuts for that.
240
Like the Shamrock Shake.
241
Exactly.
242
Every year I'm like, this tastes like toothpaste.
243
But every year I buy it.
244
My sister transformed her money into a thriving business that was eventually shut down due to an infestation.
245
Ew.
246
I'll just get right to the point.
247
I would like you and your son to meet with a very important benefactor of the college.
248
Why us?
249
Well, Sheldon is an impressive addition to the physics program,
250
and we like our donors to feel really good about where their money's going.
251
I get it.
252
You want the star quarterback to shake some hands with the boosters.
253
Exactly.
254
I'm not doing that.
255
I didn't shake her hand, and she's the president.
256
No, you don't have to shake anybody's hand.
257
Then why did you say it?
258
I didn't say it.
259
He said it.
260
But you agreed with it.
261
All I'm asking you to do is to go to dinner, talk about science with a very nice and, more importantly, a very rich person.
262
Understood.
263
No, thank you.
264
Buddy.
265
All right, Sheldon, I was brought to this school to help raise its profile.
266
And one of the ways to do that is through grants and donations.
267
You can understand that, right?
268
I understand that you would like to put the novelty of my age and advanced intellect on display to raise some cash.
269
No, just sort of.
270
Can I speak to you alone?
271
Will you give us a minute?
272
Very well.
273
But if you're looking to see if my father will be a potential donor, you are barking up the wrong tree.
274
Oh, Sheldon, think of it as a free dinner.
275
I'm a kid.
276
All my dinners are free.
277
Is what they're asking really that bad?
278
Yes.
279
I go to this university to study science, not to help collect money like an organ grinder's monkey.
280
You see me go to rallies and fundraisers at the high school.
281
I don't love it, but I do it.
282
And I hope they give you all the bananas you can eat.
283
Sheldon, donors like this are very helpful for the university.
284
They pay for all the science equipment and your scholarship.
285
I hadn't thought of it that way.
286
So I tell them we're on for Saturday?
287
I'll think about it.
288
What's to think about?
289
It's a night of you showing off how smart you are.
290
People do like that.
291
All right, I'm in.
292
Just got off the phone with President Hegenmeyer.
293
This guy we're gonna have dinner with sounds pretty interesting.
294
You ain't made all of his money selling anti-static furniture for laboratories.
295
He's not even a scientist.
296
He's just a furniture salesman.
297
Yeah.
298
What am I supposed to talk about?
299
Talk about whatever you want.
300
Just don't be insulting.
301
What if he says something I think is ridiculous?
302
Keep it to yourself.
303
What if you just said something I think is ridiculous? Because...
304
Okay, maybe we need to work a little on your conversation skills.
305
Like not calling people out for saying stupid things.
306
How am I supposed to practice that?
307
What's up?
308
Okay, Shabu.
309
Try having a conversation with Billy about science.
310
Let's see.
311
Uh, what do you know about quantum mechanics?
312
My dad's a mechanic.
313
At his shop, he has a calendar with a bikini lady on it.
314
Dad...
315
Instead of losing patience, act interested and then ask a follow-up question.
316
Your father's a mechanic.
317
Interesting.
318
You know what else is interesting?
319
That describes the basic particles and forces that make up reality.
320
Let's talk about that.
321
I'm gonna marry that bikini lady.
322
I've been working on a theory about the wave-particle duality of light.
323
I have a night light that looks like Spider-Man, but I don't turn it on.
324
Go ahead.
325
Why don't you turn it on?
326
I'm afraid of spiders.
327
Yeah, seems like a good place to stop.
328
Now what happens?
329
You go home.
330
Thank you for your hospitality.
331
Now, when you meet this guy, you gotta shake his hand.
332
What if I offer a stately bow?
333
That's how they do it in Asia.
334
You're shaking his hand.
335
Then it's a good thing I brought old righty.
336
You're not wearing that in a restaurant.
337
Why?
338
Because you don't make a good impression by being afraid to shake hands.
339
Howard Hughes was a germaphobe, and he did quite well for himself.
340
Didn't he go crazy and save his pee in jars?
341
Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
342
You're shaking his hand.
343
Okay.
344
George Cooper, meet Gary O'Brien, the anti-static furniture king.
345
Hello.
346
Shocking to meet you.
347
Don't do that.
348
And this, of course, is our physics prodigy, Sheldon Cooper.
349
A great pleasure.
350
I had an obligation to fulfill.
351
So I closed my eyes and thought of science.
352
Just like on my honeymoon.
353
Hey, here's a funny prank you can try tonight.
354
When Tam falls asleep, put some shaving cream in his hand, and then tickle his nose.
355
Why?
356
Because then he'll go to, you know, scratch his nose and get shaving cream on his face.
357
And then what?
358
Well, that's it.
359
But I'm a guest in their home, and that doesn't seem like a very good way to repay their kindness.
360
Never mind.
361
And what if the shaving cream gets in his eyes?
362
That would sting.
363
Sorry I mentioned it.
364
Also, I didn't bring my own shaving cream.
365
I'd have to use his dad's phone.
366
Forget it!
367
Hello?
368
Hi!
369
You must be Mrs. Tam's mom.
370
I'm Sheldon's dad, George Cooper.
371
Nice to meet you.
372
Thanks for letting him spend the night.
373
It's his first sleepover.
374
He's excited.
375
Actually, I'm quite apprehensive.
376
He's really looking forward to it.
377
In case something comes up, just give us a holler.
378
I mean a call.
379
If you hollered, we wouldn't hear you.
380
That's a joke.
381
Okay, buddy. Have fun.
382
Visiting Tam's house for the first time was an emotional rollercoaster.
383
For example, it's traditional in Vietnamese homes to have gruesome religious iconography near the entrance.
384
I did not like that.
385
However, it's also customary to not wear shoes around the house for sanitary reasons.
386
I did like that.
387
Interestingly, one of the main ingredients in Vietnamese cooking is an extremely pungent condiment known as fish sauce.
388
I did not like that.
389
But before every meal, it's common for everyone to wash their hands and face.
390
I did like that.
391
Forks are not customary in a Vietnamese household.
392
I did not like that.
393
And instead of napkins, there was one towel for everyone to share at the table.
394
Seriously, what are they thinking?
395
Thank you for letting me sleep in your bed.
396
My father told me that we must always honor our guests and treat them with the utmost courtesy.
397
The Vietnamese are very welcoming people.
398
Yeah, that hasn't always worked out for us.
399
Do you think your dad would ever ask you to keep a secret from your mom?
400
Oh, no. He's so honest, it's annoying.
401
Enough talking!
402
Sleep now!
403
She's just annoying.
404
I'm doing it.
405
Okay, I'm gonna let go.
406
Don't let go.
407
I'm letting go.
408
Don't let go.
409
I already let go.
410
You let go?
411
I let go.
412
I'm doing it.
413
You're doing it!
414
I'm doing it!
415
Hey, Brenda.
416
Hey.
417
I just wanted to check in and see how Sheldon's doing.
418
He'll be fine.
419
He's just a little fractured.
420
Oh, poor kid.
421
Please, no. We feel terrible.
422
Yeah, accidents happen.
423
Hey, speaking of accidents, which this clearly was, insurance covers everything, right?
424
If you're worried about me setting your bill, don't be.
425
Wasn't worried.
426
I just wanted to bring you some food as a peace offering and promise it will never happen again.
427
Well, thanks.
428
Ooh, fried chicken.
429
Never again.
430
Don't worry, baby.
431
I cut everything into bite-sized pieces for you.
432
Maybe you could chew it up and spit it in his mouth.
433
Please.
434
Let's just say Grace.
435
Will you two help him with his mittens?
436
Maybe he doesn't wear them Then I'm not holding hands We ain't gotta hold hands?
437
Sweet I like when we hold hands We are holding hands, let's go, mittens Fine Gently, gently I'm doing it gently Well,
438
your tone suggests otherwise Just give me your hand Gently There Bless us,
439
Lord, for the food we are about to receive, and bless the hands that prepared it.
440
And bless Sheldon's arm to heal strong and quick.
441
Strongly and quickly.
442
Amen.
443
Amen.
444
I've never operated a fork with my left hand before.
445
I hope this goes well.
446
When my buddy Mikey got the cast off his leg, you will not believe how skinny and smelly it was.
447
Like beef jerky with toes.
448
Can we please just eat?
449
Chicken's good.
450
Mr. Sparks made it.
451
Huh?
452
Hello, Grant.
453
What brings you here?
454
I'm here to convince you to come back to the university.
455
A mind like yours needs to be working on the advancement of science.
456
We did that for 50 years.
457
Now I'm content just keeping these cucumbers crunchy.
458
But exciting new things are happening in string theory.
459
Don't you want to be a part of that?
460
Wasting years scrambling away at the academic hamster wheel?
461
constantly worried that your life's work is just one big dead end?
462
Sure, some paths of research may not pan out, but we still have to try, right? Do we? Of course.
463
I don't know.
464
Einstein spent the last 30 years of his life on the grand unified field theory and got nowhere.
465
Well, I wouldn't say nowhere, but I suppose he never did crack it.
466
And to this day, no one has.
467
True.
468
In fact, most of his major accomplishments occurred when he was a young man, which you and I most certainly are not.
469
Sometimes I look in the mirror and I think, who is that?
470
Would you like to give these cucumbers a spritz?
471
No, thank you.
472
Do you sell liquor here?
473
So what does it all mean, John?
474
Maybe you should ask someone who isn't drinking on a park bench.
475
You work your whole life.
476
It all seems so important to the time.
477
But is it?
478
That's a good question.
479
Puts me in mind of Camus' The Myth of Sififis.
480
Sififis.
481
Sififis.
482
That's the guy.
483
Every day he rolled the rock up the mountain, and every day it rolled back down.
484
That's what it seems like.
485
But you escaped.
486
You stopped rolling that rock.
487
Well, that's what I thought.
488
But every single bag of groceries I fill, there's another one right behind it.
489
So what do we do about it?
490
We sing.
491
What do we sing?
492
When you're too old to work and you're too young to die, who will take care of you?
493

I didn't buy it.
532
They gave it to me at the gas station.
533
Okay, well, that sounds like a gift from God.
534
You don't want to make him mad.
535
That is not how God works, George.
536
What if he wanted you to have it to give to the church?
537
Well.
538
Based on that, what if he wanted you to have it so we could buy stuff?
539
George.
540
All I'm saying is we work hard.
541
We're good people.
542
Maybe we deserve this.
543
Guess a dishwasher might be nice.
544
There you go.
545
Get a dishwasher.
546
I don't know.
547
I'll think about it.
548

I don't know, George.
559
These are really expensive.
560
You won the money.

Spend it.
562
Maybe we should just get a more affordable one.
563
Everything we do is affordable.
564
It splurge for once.
565
It's so extravagant.
566
You think we were talking about buying a party boat?
567
It's a dishwasher, for crying out loud.
568
But the way we got the money, it just doesn't feel right.
569
So you're telling me you're never okay with bending the rules once in a while?
570
That's not how being a Christian works.
571
Good to know.
572
What are you doing?
573
Just helping you be a good Christian.
574
I don't know why he cares so much about a dishwasher.
575
Maybe it ain't about the dishwasher.
576
Well, what is it then?
577
Mary, I love you, but sometimes it's kind of like you're waging a war on fun.
578
Why?
579
Because I have values?
580
Well, too bad, because they're not going away.
581
Oh, and fun is down for the count.
582
This is yours.
583
And if you don't feel right spending it, then you should do whatever you want with it.
584
Thank you.
585
You know, I've been thinking that maybe it isn't the end of the world if we spend it on something fun.
586
Really?
587
Really?
588
Yeah, something the family could enjoy.
589
We have been on vacation in a long time.

592
Let's keep thinking.
593
Sounds like the ocean.
594
Very relaxing.
595
Kind of makes the rest of the kitchen look trashy.
596
Ooh, it has a temperature boost sensor.
597
What's that?
598
It makes sure the water is heated at the correct temperature for ideal cleaning and drying results.
599
Ooh. Where are you going?
600
You're going to miss the rinse cycle.
601
I'm not missing anything.
602
Ooh, baby.
603
Look up, baby.
604
I can't understand why you wouldn't want to come back to the university.
605
Science is a young man's game.
606
But we could work on something together.
607
If you average out our ages, we're a lean mean 41 and a half.
608
Still too old to be bagging groceries.
609
I know it's unorthodox.
610
But I'm enjoying it.
611
Toriel, this time of year, there's not a cloud in the sky.
612
Information is still coming in, but a black hole has been detected in Waxahachie, Texas.
613
Oh, my Lord.

Repeat, this is an emergency situa...
618
John, what did we do?
619
Nothing we can do.
620

622
Should we evacuate?
623
We can't.
624
We could never outrun it.

652
Our fathers, who are the heavens, will be done names.
653
My kingdom come, and I will be done on Earth.

655
One of the possibilities.
656
John.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
