Stranger Things season 4 volume 2 is upon us and we're super excited to bring you this lesson.
12
The first half of season 4 premiered on May 27th and it's much darker and scarier than the previous seasons.
13
While we wait for the final two episodes of season 4 to drop on Netflix, let's learn English with a clip from the first half of the season.

17
Thank you.
18
Look at me.
19
Thank you.
20
Thank you you I know you're frightened.
21
You're terribly frightened by what you've seen.
22
But it's this very fear that's now holding you back.
23
If you want Nina to succeed, you cannot hide from the truth.
24
No matter how frightening it may be, I saw what I did.
25
I am a monster.
26
"The truth is, you're regressing Eleven." Dr. Brenna is telling Eleven that she's going backwards in her development.
27
To regress means to stop making progress.
28
Not only that, but it also means to go back to an earlier stage of development, a stage you shouldn't be at anymore.
29
You're going backwards.
30
Again, Dr Brenner is emphasizing Eleven's lack of progress in getting her powers back.
31
When you make progress at something, we can say that you move forward.
32
But if you go backwards, you go in the opposite direction of progress.
33
The word "backwards" is also commonly used in its literal sense, been talking about directions.
34
If you move backwards, you go back.
35
If you move forwards, you go straight ahead.
36
Check out this example.
37
I'm a tightrope is our dimension.
38
and our dimension. has rules.
39
You can move forwards. or backwards.
40
"I know you're frightened.
41
You're terribly frightened by what you've seen." In order for Eleven to get her powers back, she needs to face a dark memory from her past.
42
This of course makes her scared or frightened.
43
To be frightened means to be extremely scared of something.
44
Here's another example: Once more,
45
Dr. Brenner is emphasizing how frightened Eleven is by using the adverb terribly Words that end in Lee are usually adverbs.
46
These adverbs describe how something is done performed or in this case felt.
47
Here are some examples of common adverbs: slow slowly.
48
Careful carefully.
49
Perfect! perfectly Their driveway is pretty dark this time of night.
50
- Okay.
51
So drive slowly.
52
Always.
53
You have demons, Eleven.
54
You have demons in your past.
55
That is why we must proceed carefully.
56
So yeah, if the mention of his name caused a slight muscle spasm on my face, that's...
57
probably won't.
58
Seems like a perfectly reasonable reason to blame twins. or something.
59
If you want to learn more about how you can use these kinds of words, check out this lesson after this video.
60
But it's this very fear that's now holding you back.
61
Because Eleven is afraid to face her past, she can't get her powers back.
62
When something holds you back, it prevents you from making progress or achieving a desired result.
63
It's like it prevents you from reaching your full potential or to do something you set out to do.
64
Another common way to use this expression is to hold back.
65
If you hold back, you don't use all your skills and talents to beat or defeat someone.
66
You shamed me today.
67
I'm sorry.
68
I don't want to hurt you.
69
You are.
70
weak Empathetic.
71
I was holding back.
72
If you want Nina to succeed, you cannot hide from the truth.
73
No matter how frightening it may be, Notice that Dr. Brenner says, frightening here instead of frightened.
74
Both frightening and frightened are adjectives.
75
Some adjectives can end in both ed or ing.
76
Here's a quiz question.
77
Choose the correct option a or b.
78
Johnny so that may be why he's sleeping a tired b tiring .
79
John is sleeping now because he had a very class this morning.
80
A. Tired? be tiring.
81
Thank you.
82
Notice that in the first example I'm talking about how John is feeling in that situation.
83
He's feeling tired.
84
But in the second example, I'm talking about the class John attended this morning.
85
The class was tiring.
86
Adjectives ending in -ing are used to describe things and situations.
87
Here are some more examples.
88
The book is interesting.
89
The class is tiring.
90
Stranger Things is amazing.
91
If you want to say how someone is feeling in a given situation, you would normally use an adjective ending in -ed.
92
Johnny's interested in the class.
93
I'm bored.
94
She is amazed by Stranger Things.
95
Notice that while it's not possible to use an adjective ending in -ed to talk about things, it is possible to use it when talking about people,
96
but the meaning is a bit different.
97
Look at these examples: John is bored, versus John is boring.
98
If I say John is bored, Something or somebody is making him feel this way.
99
If I say John is boring, he's the one who makes other people feel bored.
100
Got it?
101
The adjective ending in -ing refers to someone's personality, the way the person tends to be or behave.
102
Look at these examples.
103
John is an interesting person to talk to.
104
That's the way he is.
105
Johnny's interested in this class.
106
That's how he feels in the moment.
107
That's it?
108

121
Reality, truth, it's rarely so simple.
122
People are not so easily defined.
123
Only by facing all of ourselves, the good and the bad, can we become whole.
124

131
you - You chose to trust me once.
132
I'm asking you to trust me again.
133
Journey with me into the past one last time.
134
Stop hiding Eleven.
135
That's the stuff of myth and fairy tales.
136
When Dr. Brenner refers to monsters and superheroes as myths and fairy tales, he means they don't exist.
137
A myth is something that is popularly believed to be true, even though it isn't.
138
Fairy tales are stories about magical and fantastic things, usually involving a protagonist and a villain with powers.
139
Examples of famous fairy tales include Cinderella,
140
Sleeping Beauty and Pizza Pan.
141
This is a super advanced structure.
142
Only by facing all of ourselves can we become whole.
143
You've probably learned that words such as "can" are placed before the subject to make questions Right?
144
Can I go?
145
Can you cook?
146
can we become?
147
But in this sentence we have an affirmative sentence, not a question.
148
Still, Dr. Brenna says, Can we become whole instead of We can become whole.
149
Because the order here is inverted, We call these kinds of sentences inversion.
150
In versions of sentences in which we reverse the order of an auxiliary verb, plus subject in order to be more emphatic.
151
Aside from being more emphatic, these kinds of sentences are very advanced and sophisticated.
152
If you're looking to make your English more advanced, using inversions will definitely help you with that.
153
Here are some common phrases used in inversions along with example sentences: only by
154
Only by facing all of ourselves can we become whole again.
155
Really?
156
Rarely does he call me on the phone.
157
Seldom.
158
Selden can you find old cars in good condition, nor I didn't know what to do, nor did I know who to call.
159
Never.
160
Never have I seen such an impactful TV show.
161
Not until...
162
Not until they got home did they realize they had forgotten the keys to the house.
163
Not only but also Not only can you watch anything on streaming services, but you can also watch whenever you want.
164
Little.
165
Little did he know that she was planning to file for divorce.
166
This is such a fascinating and advanced topic that we can't cover all of it in just one listen.
167
If you would like us to create a lesson all about inversions, then let us know down in the comments.
168
What if I don't want to become home?
169
Notice how Eleven pronounces this phrase.
170
The final T in "what" is pronounced as a flap T.
171
which then connects to the words if, what if.
172
Then the D in don't is pronounced with the same sound, which then connects to wanna, a common reduction for want to.
173
So we're here.
174
I don't wanna.
175
Putting it all together, we hear.
176
What if I don't want to become whole?
177
Check out another example in the affirmative.
178
Yeah, but...
179
What if you want to join another party?
180
Notice that Dr. Brenna doesn't pronounce the final T in the word "trust".
181
He just says, Trust me.
182
This is a common pattern in connected speech.
183
"Dustin, where are you going?" "Just trust me !" I skateboard trust me
184
You gotta trust me on this.
185
Thank you.
186
Look at me.
187

¿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.
