1
After all this time, I've realized you're always here for me, even when I keep rejecting you.
2
Your feelings for me haven't changed, and mine are growing stronger every day.
3
I can't keep pretending anymore.
4
Watch it, Cat Noir, you confusing fantasy with reality!
5
You're not Ladybug?
6
No, she's not me.
7
She's manipulating you.
8
You know I'm already in love with someone else.
9
Listen to your heart.
10
Oh, listen to your brain.
11
You're just an illusion.
12
See, I'm real enough.
13
Impossible.
14
There can't be two ladybugs.
15
Let's learn English with Miraculous, Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
16
I bet you didn't recognize me, it's me, Xenia, your real -life English Lindsay coach.
17
So, Ladybug and Cat Noir are secret superheroes protecting Paris.
18
Just like Spider -Man, they seem like regular high school students, but when there's crime, they use their miraculous to jump into action.
19
The bad guy, Hawk Moth, has a partner called Mayura, who just did something sneaky.
20
She created a fake ladybug, built from magic, to fool Cat Noir.
21
So as we saw, Cat Noir actually believes he's talking to the real ladybug.
22
When the real ladybug appeared, we heard her say, Watch it, Cat Noir, you confusing fantasy with reality!
23
Watch it is something you say to warn someone.
24
If your friend is distracted and almost steps into traffic, that's the perfect moment to yell, watch it, at them.
25
And then ladybug said, She's manipulating you.
26
To manipulate someone means to influence them in a dishonest way to get something you want.
27
Little kids may sometimes use their adorableness to manipulate us parents into buying the toys they want.
28
And I have at least 17 other expressions like this to teach you today with Miraculous.
29
And to help you truly learn and never forget them,
30
I want to give you access to the smart flashcards we created for this lesson for free.
31
You can practice with them in our app by clicking the link below.
32
Thousands of learners, just like you, are learning to speak English fluently every day and having fun while doing it.
33
So, make sure to try out our method.
34
You only need a few minutes a day to see real progress.
35
First, let's go back a little bit to see how my humorous manipulation of Cat Noir started.
36
so good there's something wrong we're supposed to be nearly invulnerable
37
he doesn't suspect a thing grab his miraculous his ring before
38
the real ladybug gets here cat noir don't leave me what
39
what's going on i have always gone out of my way to hide my true feelings for you
40
but i just can't do it anymore but i thought you said you love somebody else it's it's over
41
all right so cat noir is starting to sense some things off
42
but he doesn't know why yet cat noir i don't feel
43
so good there's something wrong you're supposed to be nearly invulnerable
44
if something is invulnerable it can be hurt or damaged you probably know superman is invulnerable to everything but kryptonite,
45
even bullets and fire.
46
Cat Noir finds it strange that Ladybug seems hurt, but he lets romantic feelings get in the way of his intuition.
47
By the way, this is a tricky word to pronounce.
48
This L is called a dark L.
49
It's not like L -L -L, but L -L.
50
A regular L is made behind the teeth, L -L,
51
but a dark L is made by lifting the tongue at the back of the mouth in words like world or cool.
52
Practice saying it a couple times with Cat Noir.
53
If you'd like a quick tip from me on how to practice your pronunciation, shadowing is the way to go.
54
You can do it on your own
55
or you can do it with our listen and repeat exercises on the real life app.
56
On the app you get instant feedback for your pronunciation of invulnerable and other difficult words and expressions.
57
Just search for real life English in your app store to get started.
58
Next we heard Mayura communicate with the imposter ladybug without cat noir hearing.
59
He doesn't suspect a thing.
60
When someone doesn't suspect a thing, it means they have no idea what's really happening or that something is wrong.
61
Like in the movie
62
Never Let Me Go, based on Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, when the boys play a cruel trick on Tommy by inviting him to play a game
63
and pretending he'd be picked for one of the teams when in fact they had no intention of choosing him.
64
Poor Tommy.
65
Let's watch that short scene.
66
And then the fake ladybug really plays with Cat Noir's emotions.
67
To go out of your way to do something means you make an extra effort, more than what's normal or expected,
68
usually to help someone, or in this case, to hide something.
69
See these other examples.
70
We have to get you back into the water, fast!
71
Please, don't go out of your way on account of me.
72
I'm sure you must be very busy and...
73
You really went out of your way to express yourself here.
74
Mr. Tushman went out of his way to tell me how sweet those kids were
75
and that Julian is apparently quite the dream.
76
Moving on, after the real ladybug shows up, Cat Noir has some difficulty determining which is the real one.
77
Let's watch.
78
She looks so real!
79
Things aren't always what they seem to be at first sight.
80
This ladybug isn't an illusion or an akumatized person.
81
Uh -huh, she's a senti -monster.
82
But she's so much more elaborate than any of those we faced before.
83
So perfect, there's nothing monstrous about her at all.
84
Sorry, Katie, but you should have known.
85
I'm nowhere near as perfect as her.
86
I love you just the way you are, m 'lady.
87
Got a hint of where the amak is.
88
Look at what my yura's holding.
89
Whatever it takes, steal their miraculous from them and don't hold back.
90
My yura looks exhausted.
91
That's your chance to bring her down and find out who's behind the map!
92
Cover your ears!
93
No!
94
What's going on?
95
You're right.
96
There's nothing monstrous about her.
97
Whoever possesses this controls the Sentimonser.
98
She couldn't help but follow orders.
99
Sentimonster, you're free now.
100
I won't give you orders, but I ask you, help us grab my Urus Miraculous.
101
Thank you, Ladybug.
102
I will help you.
103
Are we cool?
104
Are we cool?
105
How could you?
106
Now it's a little chaotic, but we can also learn a lot here.
107
Don't fall for her trick!
108
Milady, no!
109
We've got a villain to fight.
110
We'll take care of me later.
111
First off, I find it quite hilarious that
112
Cat Noir likes to call Ladybug Milady.
113
It is an old -fashioned, romantic way of addressing a woman, short for my lady.
114
Cat Noir loves being charming, so this word is perfect for flirting.
115
You could also call a man Milord and Since Miraculous has the Paris theme, that reminds me of Edith Piaf's classic song.
116
If you fall for someone's tricks, you believe something that isn't true, usually because someone tricked you on purpose.
117
And then we hear a variation of this expression when Cat Noir is blinded by love and the real ladybug screams this.
118
And notice how natives say the preposition for.
119
They usually reduce it to fur.
120
So it's fall fur tricks and fall for that.
121
We had a couple more examples in the very first clip we watched.
122
After all this time I've realized you're always here for me even when I keep rejecting you.
123
Your feelings for me haven't changed and mine are growing stronger every day.
124
So she said these like here for me, here for me and feelings for me, feelings for me.
125
Let's improve our pronunciation by listening to those four lines again and repeating.
126
Don't fall for her tricks!
127
Don't fall for her tricks!
128
I can't believe you fell for that!
129
I can't believe you fell for that!
130
You're always here for me.
131
You're always here for me.
132
Your feelings for me haven't changed.
133
Your feelings for me haven't changed.
134
Oh right, but once the fake ladybug is revealed as something else, we hear what she actually is.
135
This ladybug isn't an illusion or an akumatized person.
136
Uh -huh, she's a senti -monster.
137
But she's so much more elaborate than any of those we've faced before.
138
So first, in the miraculous world, an akumatized person, a someone hawk moth, has turned into a villain using a magic butterfly.
139
And a senti -monster is a completely different kind of creation brought to life by Mayura, not a real person at all.
140
Cat Noir says the senti -monster is elaborate.
141
That just means very detailed and carefully planned.
142
The opposite of simple.
143
An elaborate plan has a lot of moving parts and clearly took real effort to put together.
144
Check out these examples.
145
I mean, was this really your entire plan?
146
Coming in here with no backup?
147
Or maybe we had a far more elaborate plan.
148
Maybe my partner has a tracking device in his pocket right now.
149
These Christmas decorations are very elaborate, yes?
150
Now, have you ever noticed that you sometimes forget new words soon after learning them?
151
Like all these expressions, elaborate, pull for something, go out of your way.
152
It's only natural that our brains forget them, because we don't have the habit of learning and practicing.
153
Learning and practicing.
154
That's why it's so important to review the vocabulary you're seeing today.
155
It's one of the best things you can do for your fluency.
156
And I know this not only from my own experience learning English, but also because we've taught millions of English learners, like you.
157
So we created the perfect solution for it, a set of flashcards for this lesson that is available for free on our app.
158
This will help you remember the new words from this lesson forever.
159
It's really cool.
160
The app knows the exact expressions you've learned from the lessons you've watched.
161
And just when you're about to forget a particular word, we bring it back to you to practice.
162
All you need is 10 -15 minutes daily for more natural English speaking.
163
Super easy!
164
Just click the link in the description below to try the real life app right now for free
165
and start getting a bit more fluent every day.
166
Monstrous literally means like a monster.
167
It could be something extremely ugly, cruel or frightening.
168
At the beginning of Shrek, we see everyone assumes he's a monstrous ogre, but by the end we see he actually has a big heart.
169
And let's check out the grammar of this construction.
170
Sorry, Katie, but you should have known.
171
I'm nowhere near as perfect as her.
172
Should have known is used when you're pointing out that someone had the information or the clues to figure something out, but they missed it anyway.
173
So, should have is perfect for talking about mistakes, should have known, should have noticed, should have realized.
174
Listen to these examples.
175
You came back.
176
You were right, Roxanne.
177
You never should have left.
178
You should have burned those boats a long time ago.
179
And I'd challenge you to practice this construction by writing your own examples in the comments below.
180
Tell us what you should have or shouldn't have done.
181
Right, then we learn what Mayura is actually controlling.
182
I've got a hint of where the amok is.
183
Look at what Mayura's holding.
184
An amok here is the object Mayura uses to create and control her senti -monster.
185
Here it's a keychain of the Eiffel Tower that a tourist might buy.
186
But in everyday English, we often use the collocation run amok.
187
It means to behave in a wild, out -of -control way.
188
Check out this example.
189
If we allow bees to run amok like this, the hive will fall into chaos.
190
What do you think Mayura means by don't hold back?
191
Don't stop yourself, don't stay behind, or don't let them see you.
192
Right, to hold back means to stop yourself from doing something fully.
193
So don't hold back is an instruction to go all in, without hesitation.
194
You'll hear this a lot in sports or competitions.
195
Listen to this example.
196
Then Ladybug sees an opportunity to attack.
197
My hero looks exhausted.
198
That's your chance to bring her down and find out who's behind the map.
199
To bring someone down means to defeat them or cause them to fail.
200
It's often used for villains, but also works in everyday English, like the pandemic brought many businesses down.
201
Once they get the mark, they realize that the senti monster is actually quite innocent.
202
You're right.
203
There's nothing monstrous about her.
204
Whoever possesses this control is the senti monster she couldn't help
205
but follow orders can't help it means you can't stop yourself from doing something i know my daughter can't help
206
but get angry when i take her phone away
207
and i can't help but admire her
208
when she helps younger kids at the playground get on a swing
209
and here's another example i'm sorry to bother you but uh my son and i couldn't help but admire your teddy bear
210
Now, the Sandy Monster couldn't help but follow orders.
211
If you follow orders, you do what you think is best, do what you are told, or agree with someone.
212
Right, it means listening to someone's instructions and doing what they say.
213
Soldiers follow orders from a commander and employees follow orders from their manager.
214
Cat Noir and Ladybug were about to defeat Mayura, but then Hawk Moth shows up.
215
Let's see what happens.
216
I'm choking around when I take your miraculous!
217
Kendoor, cover me!
218
Chen, ladybug.
219
No!
220
Cataclysm!
221
Good move, kitty.
222
Now all I have to do is grab my Euras, miraculous, and it's over.
223
Chen Mei, Pockmock, you'd better surrender.
224
Release him!
225
Release her!
226
Don't mind me.
227
Don't listen to him.
228
You had my hero right where you wanted her.
229
I could have managed by myself.
230
Why'd you do that?
231
Because we're Ladybug and Cat Noir.
232
Ladybug by itself doesn't sound half as cool.
233
So the first line we hear from Hawk Moth is a play in words.
234
Getting sentimental on a sentimonster?
235
I love plays in words.
236
To get sentimental means to let your emotions control you, especially feelings of love or affection.
237
Oftentimes, this happens at a moment when you need to be practical.
238
Hawk Moth is playing with the part Senti in the words Senti -monster and sentimental.
239
So his comment is a little joke about Cat Noir caring about the Senti -monster.
240
And here's how natives use the word sentimental in other contexts.
241
I may be just a sentimental old turtle, but I think there's a future for this town, and I hope you'll be part of it.
242
As Ladybug goes to attack, she screams this.
243
Get to war!
244
Cover me!
245
To cover someone means to protect them or watch out for danger while they focus on doing something else.
246
You'll hear it a lot in action movies.
247
Listen to these examples.
248
Let's go find your father.
249
Cover me.
250
No. I'll go.
251
Cover me!
252
At the end of the scene, Cat Noir scolds Ladybug for saving him instead of taking Mayura's miraculous.
253
You had Mayura right where you wanted her.
254
I could've managed by myself.
255
Why'd you do that?
256
What do you think he means by I could've managed by myself?
257
He didn't need help, he had a secret plan, or she should listen to his orders.
258
cool he's just saying he was capable of handling the situation on his own
259
if you're carrying something heavy
260
and your friend offers to help he might say
261
i can manage on my own meaning
262
you don't need their help listen to this other example i'll give you a hand with that team
263
No, that won't be necessary.
264
I can manage on my own.
265
Ladybug ends the scene pretty sweetly.
266
Because we're Ladybug and Cat Noir.
267
Ladybug by itself doesn't sound half as cool.
268
If something doesn't sound half as cool, half as good or half as fine without something else,
269
it means it loses most of its appeal on its own.
270
Like hot chocolate isn't half as tasty without whipped cream.
271
Here's another example.
272
Well, anyway, it's not half as bad as double pneumonia, right?
273
Baaah!
274
The piglet we know isn't half as fuzzy as you!
275
Babe, if I look half as beautiful as you do in that dress, then there's no way that
276
Sky won't notice me! But wait!
277
This lesson isn't half as powerful without the test!
278
You will now watch the scene again without subtitles and answer some quiz questions.
279
Let's do it!
280
we're supposed to be nearly invulnerable.
281
He doesn't suspect a thing.
282
If Cat Noir didn't suspect a thing, that means he was suspicious about something,
283
he had no idea he was being tricked or he was pretending not to notice the trick.
284
Someone who goes out of their way to help you is doing the bare minimum, avoiding you completely or making extra effort.
285
But I just can't do it anymore.
286
But I thought you said you loved somebody else.
287
It's.. it's over.
288
After all this time, I've realized you're always here for me, even when I keep rejecting you.
289
Your feelings for me haven't changed, and mine are growing stronger every day.
290
I can't keep pretending anymore.
291
Now!
292
Watch it, Cat Noir.
293
You confusing fantasy with reality.
294
You're not Ladybug?
295
No, she's not me.
296
She's manipulating you.
297
You know I'm already in love with someone else.
298
Listen to your heart.
299
Oh, listen to your brain.
300
You're just an illusion.
301
See, I'm real enough.
302
Impossible.
303
There can't be two Ladybugs.
304
Don't fall for her tricks.
305
Milady is a formal, old -fashioned way to call a woman.
306
What would you use for a man?
307
Milord.
308
He should have known is used to point out that someone will find out something in the future,
309
had the chance to realize something but missed it, already knew everything perfectly.
310
I'm nowhere near as perfect as her.
311
I love you just the way you are, m 'lady.
312
If something is wild and out of control, you could say it's running amok, holding back, or following orders.
313
Got a hint of where the amok is.
314
Look at what my ear is holding.
315
Whatever it takes, steal their miraculous from them and don't hold back.
316
My hero looks exhausted.
317
That's your chance to bring her down and find out who's behind the map.
318
Cover your ears.
319
No. What's going on?
320
You're right.
321
There's nothing monstrous about her.
322
Whoever possesses this controls the Senti Monster.
323
She couldn't help but follow orders Senti Monster, you're free now.
324
I won't give you orders, but I ask you help us grab my Uras Miraculous Thank you, Ladybug.
325
I will help you
326
Are we cool?
327
Are we cool?
328
We could call ourselves
329
Cat Dwar and his Ladybugs I prefer the Bugettes and Kitty Cat.
330
What do you think?
331
You're in charge Ladybug I should have guessed
332
How could you?
333
Getting sentimental on a sentimonster?
334
Huckmonster!
335
You're the real monster!
336
Oh, that.
337
You'll find out very soon.
338
We miss you, Grandpa!
339
You don't mind calling him Grandpa, right?
340
You won't be joking around when I take you a miraculous!
341
Kanduara, cover me!
342
Say it, Ladybug.
343
Gataclysm!
344
Good move, Kitty.
345
Now all I have to do is grab my Euras Miraculous and it's over.
346
Checkmate, Hawk Moth.
347
You better surrender.
348
Release him!
349
Release her!
350
Don't mind me.
351
Don't listen to him!
352
You had my Euras right where you wanted her.
353
I could have managed by myself.
354
Why'd you do that?
355
Because we're Ladybug and Cat Noir.
356
Babybug by itself doesn't sound half as cool.
357
I've had so much fun teaching you English with Miraculous.

¿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.
