It's pain.

Love it.

Who let him in?
12
Let's get started!
13
The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village.
14
Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so does that disqualify him or...?
15
Can I transfer to the class with the cool Viking?
16
Don't worry.
17
You're small and you're weak.
18
That'll make you less of a target.
19
They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more viking-like teens instead.

Jaw strength eight.

Whoa, whoa, wait, aren't you gonna teach us first?

I believe in learning on the job.

Today is about survival.
35
If you get blasted, you're dead.
36
Quick!
37
What's the first thing you're going to need?
38
A doctor plus five speed?
39
A shield.
40
Shield, go!
41
Your most important piece of equipment is your shield.
42
If you must make a choice between a sword or a shield, take the shield.
43
Get your hands off my shield.
44
There's a chameleon shield.
45
Take that one.
46
There's flour on it.
47
Girls like flour.
48
Oops.
49
Now this one has blood on it.
50
Tough nut, rough nut, you're out.
51
What?
52
Shields are good for another thing.
53
No eggs.
54
Make lots of it and throw off a dragon's aim.
55
All dragons have a limited number of shots.

How many does a Kronkle have?

Five?

Good night, six.

That's one for each of you.
61
Fish lags out.
62
No!
63
Pick up!
64
Get in there!
65
Stop!
66
So anyway, I'm moving into my parents' basement.
67
You should come by sometime to work out.
68
You look like you work out.
69
Stop, Mike!
70
You're done!
71
No, I guess it's just you and me, huh?
72
Nope, just you.
73
One shot left!
74
Pick up! And that's six.
75
Go back to bed, you overgrown sotty!
76
You'll get another chance, don't you worry.
77
Remember, a dragon will always, always go for the kill.

Why practice speaking with this video?

This excerpt from "How To Train Your Dragon" provides an engaging context for English learners to practice their speaking skills. The scene not only showcases the excitement of dragon training, but it also captures the camaraderie and competitive spirit among the characters. By using a popular animated movie, learners can connect emotionally with the content, making it easier to absorb the language.

Utilizing this video for practice allows you to employ the shadowing technique. This method involves listening to a speaker and repeating what they say as closely as possible, which is particularly effective for improving intonation and rhythm in English. Furthermore, the dialogues are filled with responses that mimic real-life conversations, enhancing your conversational skills as you learn English with YouTube.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

In the dialogue, several expressions and grammatical structures stand out:

  • "I hope I get some serious burns." - This shows the use of the modal verb "hope" to express a desire for an outcome.
  • "Who let him in?" - A rhetorical question used for emphasis, showcasing an informal speaking style.
  • "If you must make a choice between a sword or a shield, take the shield." - This conditional sentence highlights choice, a common structure in English.
  • "You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target." - Here, simple present tense is used to convey facts about the speaker's observations.

Practicing these structures while using a shadowing app can help reinforce their usage in your speaking practice.

Common Pronunciation Traps

As you work on your pronunciation, be mindful of specific words and phrases that could present challenges:

  • "Gronkull" - The unique pronunciation can be tricky; focus on the "gr" sound at the beginning.
  • "Zippleback" - The two "p's" can often confuse learners; emphasize the sharpness in pronunciation.
  • "Night Fury" - Pay attention to the soft "N" sound and ensure you pronounce both words distinctly.

While practicing with this video, try to imitate the accents and inflections you hear. This will help you to improve English pronunciation effectively. Using a shadowing site can further enhance your skills by providing structured exercises based on engaging content.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
