Welcome back.

We are with the icon and self martial arts legend Jet Li.
4
His two youngest daughters, Jane and Jada,
5
have helped him write a beautiful new book.
6
It's called Beyond Life and Death,
7
The Way of True Freedom.
8
In it, Jet opens up about his relationships with his daughters and search for true happiness beyond fame and money.
9
You know, it's interesting because you live this version of your life now,
10
and I said to Anthony Anderson earlier,
11
I went on TikTok since the kids live there,
12
and I put in Romeo Must Die,
13
a flood of tribute to that film.
14
Um, the late, great Aaliyah in that movie.
15
Yes.
16
Uh, the late, great CMX.
17
When you look back at a moment like that with such a bright star like these two,
18
how does that help add perspective to life?
19
Uh...
20
I work with them, and, uh, very happy experiences.
21
But later on, I heard Aliyah,
22
you know, physical body pass away,
23
but mentally still in my heart.
24
Whenever, every time I come to the stage,
25
watch something, Aliyah, later on,
26
DMX, you know, spiritual in my heart.
27
Always, never separate.
28
What does loss and challenges,
29
I know with, Jada, you talked about,
30
you know, in the book,
31
dealing with your mental health and finding a way forward,
32
living through the loss of friends,
33
the challenges of raising a child who's trying to find their way in a mental health journey,
34
what perspective does that give us on happiness?
35
Because those are the dark days.
36
How do you know the happiness is following that.
37
So I learned how to,
38
you know, close to death.
39
So that main idea is be every day,
40
last moment to be happy.
41
Help your friends be happy, everybody happy.
42
That's the last day.
43
Every day you need to be shiny and happy.
44
Yeah.
45
Yeah.
46
So, but, yeah.
47
What if you, I know one of the chapters in the book,
48
it says, make all of life your training.
49
What has your dad taught you most on your journey?
50
Gosh, what hasn't he taught me?
51
I think I think one thing that was really special was getting to see him change
52
Because he became such he's under so much pressure all the time
53
Which I don't think a lot of people see
54
but he just became so much happier so much easy to like
55
so much of more of a Go-with-the-flow person
56
and like a weight was lifted off his shoulder like he no longer carried
57
Such difficulty with him and I think seeing him be
58
so happy made me realize how important that was I love
59
that I'm going to ask the one question
60
that I need to know though When you grow up with a dad
61
that is one of the biggest martial arts legends in the world,
62
Jane, do you have moves?
63
Oh, my gosh.
64
Um, I...
65
I don't have moves like him.
66
Well, let me tell you, none of us do.
67
We're all mere mortals in his shadow.
68
I'm so proud of you as a family to do this together
69
and to build a part of his legacy beyond what we see on screen.
70
So thank you so much.
71
Give it up to martial arts legend, Oscar!
72
Jet Li, Jay, Jada.
73

74
Jet's memoir, Beyond Life and Death.

Why practice speaking with this video?

Engaging with the video "Jet Li & His Daughters Speak on Death & Happiness" provides learners with unique insights into personal growth, happiness, and resilience. By practicing speaking with the content, you are not only exposed to the emotional depth of the conversations but also to the practical English language used in everyday discussions. This authentic context allows learners to grasp how language conveys meaning in different situations. Utilizing the shadowing technique, where you mimic the speakers, can significantly enhance your fluency and confidence in spoken English. The lessons discussed, such as dealing with loss and focusing on daily happiness, can motivate students to express their thoughts more openly and meaningfully.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Throughout the transcript, various grammatical structures and expressions provide valuable learning opportunities. Here are a few key examples:

  • Present continuous tense: "I work with them." This structure emphasizes ongoing actions and increases the immediacy of spoken English.
  • Usage of "whenever": "Whenever I come to the stage..." This word indicates situations that happen repeatedly and helps learners create complex sentences easily.
  • Conditional phrases: "What if you..." This phrase introduces hypothetical situations, a common conversational tool in English for expressing possibilities or suggestions.
  • Imperatives: "Help your friends be happy." This structure gives direct advice or commands, useful for encouraging action in everyday conversations.

By learning these structures, English learners can better express themselves and connect with listeners on an emotional level.

Common Pronunciation Traps

As you practice your English speaking skills through this video, pay attention to certain pronunciation challenges. For example:

  • Jet Li: The "J" in Jet is subtle, and learners might pronounce it too harshly. Listen closely to how he articulates his name.
  • Words like "happiness" and "perspective": These contain multiple syllables and may be mispronounced if not practiced. Focus on the rhythm and stress of these words.
  • Emphasized phrases: Notice how Jet Li emphasizes phrases like "every day you need to be shiny and happy." Replicating his tone and rhythm will help improve your English pronunciation.

By focusing on these pronunciation nuances, learners can utilize the video as a shadowing site to better their speaking and listening skills, ensuring they sound more natural in their conversations. Incorporating the shadowspeak method while watching can help reinforce accurate pronunciation and fluency.

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.
