1
Once upon a time in the heart of the deep blue sea, there was a beautiful kingdom of the sea.
2
King who lived with his six daughters and his old mother.
3
The king loved all of his daughters but he was more attached to the youngest one, the little mermaid Eva.
4
One day, there was a birthday for his fifth daughter.
5
Everyone was gathered in the King's court to celebrate her birthday.
6
Happy birthday, my sweet child.
7
Thank you so much, Father.
8
Happy birthday, Marina.
9
Happy birthday, Marina.
10
Happy birthday.
11
Thank you, thank you all.
12
I feel proud to announce that my fifth daughter, Marina, turned 18 today.
13
I am sending her to the surface to enjoy the sunlight and fresh breeze.
14
Thank you very much, Father.
15
Just remember, there are certain rules of the Sea World, and we must obey them.
16
The human world is not like the sea world.
17
We belong to the sea and will remain in the sea.
18
Be careful and don't go near the humans.
19
Father, can I go with Marina?
20
It's not your turn, darling.
21
But I want to see the humans.
22
Oh, Eva, when you turn 18, I promise that I will let you go there.
23
Oh, no!
24
I feel sorry for you, princess.
25
My father doesn't love me.
26
Everyone knows that he loves you a lot.
27
But there are some rules which we have to follow.
28
It is only a year left for your term.
29
Oh really?
30
Yay!
31
Come, let's play fish ball!
32
The little mermaid was very beautiful.
33
She was very kind to all the sea creatures.
34
Everyone was fond of her.
35
Grandma, do humans look like us?
36
No, they have legs, but we do not.
37
Oh, so humans are superior than us.
38
No, they have not learned how to protect the environment.
39
They have made our sea polluted.
40
I heard.
41
They live longer than us.
42
Not really.
43
A human's age is limited to just a hundred years or less.
44
And we live up to 300 years.
45
But when mermaids die, they turn into sea foam and cease to exist.
46
But the most important thing, if we do good deeds throughout our lives, we become immortal, and the air god fairies take us to heaven to live with them.
47
Oh really, Grandmother?
48
Now go to sleep, it's too late.
49
Good night.
50
With the wish of seeing humans, Eva was counting each day.
51
As the days passed, the little mermaid became more and more eager to see the humans.
52
The night before her 18th birthday, she couldn't sleep all night.
53
As soon as she reached the king's court, Happy birthday!
54
Happy birthday, my darling Eva.
55
Thank you, Father.
56
I feel very proud that my youngest daughter has turned 18 today.
57
And this is the right time to keep your promise, Majesty.
58
Yes, little princess.
59
Let's go.
60
I will show you the world.
61
Oh no, father.
62
You allowed everyone to go alone.
63
I want to see the world with you, my darling.
64
No. When you will turn 80, I promise I will take you with me.
65
You mischievous child.
66
Go and take care of yourself of yourself.
67
Don't worry King, I will take care of her.
68
Oh good, but come back before sunset or I will make a meal out of you.
69
We will get back by evening Majesty.
70
Oh yeah.
71
The little mermaid was very excited to see the outside world.
72
She was swimming faster than shrimp.
73
Oh, I am so happy, I can't wait anymore.
74
Soon, the little mermaid reached the surface of the sea.
75
Everything was so new to her.
76
The blue sky, the bright sun, the pretty birds.
77
Oh my god, this is so awesome, better than my dreams.
78
Hey, what's that sound?
79
That's a ship. And that man?
80
Oh my god, he looks just like my doll.
81
I think he is a prince, Ra.
82
Seems like he is celebrating his birthday.
83
She was so mesmerized with the charm of the prince that she started singing.
84
I saw your eyes beneath the sea.
85
My heart began to glow.
86
Your voice still echoes in my dreams.
87
Suddenly, the black clouds gathered in the sky.
88
The whole sea started roaring with its high tide.
89
A storm!
90
Oh, I can feel the strong waves.
91
Oh, the ship!
92
Be careful, Prince! Be careful!
93
But nobody heard her screaming.
94
The wind was so strong that it rocked the ship and the ship finally sank.
95
Oh no the prince!
96
We must save him!
97
The little mermaid saved the prince and swam with the handsome prince to the beach.
98
Ever rush someone is coming.
99
Oh, I have to go.
100
Prince, take care.
101
Someone has died in the sea.
102
Oh, he's still alive.
103
Just then, the prince woke up and he saw one of the girls.
104
Thank you for saving my life.
105
The prince didn't even realize that it was the little mermaid who saved him.
106
Oh no, you saved him and she's getting all the credit.
107
Let it be.
108
I'm just happy to see that he's alive.
109
The sun was setting down, so they went back to the kingdom.
110
The little mermaid was sad as she knew she will never be able to see the prince again.
111
on the sea, please remember me.
112
I love you, my prince.
113
I just wanna to be with you.
114
There's a pain inside me.
115
Is love that bad?
116
Love is the most beautiful thing in the universe.
117
I guess yes.
118
I want to live with my love.
119
It's against the sea law.
120
I don't care.
121
I can't live without him.
122
Now I have one idea, but it's risky to help you.
123
Help.
124
The king will make a meal out of me.
125
Tell me.
126
Don't worry about father.
127
Okay, there is one person who might help you, but it's too dangerous to deal with her.
128
I am willing to risk anything for my prince.
129
Tell me who is that.
130
The sea witch?
131
Of black mountains, it's too risky to go there.
132
Without a second thought, the little mermaid and the shrimp left the palace and went to the witch's den.
133
The witch saw in the magic ball that princess was coming towards the den.
134
Poor girl, it's over.
135
Now the princess is the most loved and helpful creature of the sea.
136
And because of her good deed, she will become an air fairy in afterlife.
137
And that will be the end of all your sins.
138
As soon as she will become a fairy, you will lose your life!
139
No!
140
I will never let this happen!
141
Why has the king's daughter come to the witch's den?
142
I have a wish to be a human.
143
Oh, for that young prince.
144
Yes, I fell in love with the prince.
145
It will bring you sorrow, a pretty princess.
146
I don't care and I just want to be with him.
147
Are you sure will you be able to win his heart?
148
Yes, I will!
149
Well, I can turn you into a human, but for this you have to pay a price.
150
I will pay whatever I can.
151
Alright, then I will take your beautiful voice in return.
152
And remember, if the prince falls truly in love with you, then you will become a human and your voice will be back.
153
But if you fail to win his love, then you will die with a broken heart and dissolve into sea foam.
154
I can sacrifice anything for him.
155
Okay then, take this magic potion.
156
Drink it when you reach the seashore.
157
The little mermaid took the potion and went to the beach.
158
She reached the surface and drank the potion.
159
Suddenly, a strong pain made her unconscious and her tail changed into legs.
160
When she woke up, she saw the prince beside her.
161
Open your eyes, beautiful lady.
162
You are safe.
163
But where did you come from?
164
I found you on the beach and brought you here and please rest for a while.
165
The next day the little mermaid started walking.
166
The prince saw her and he looked very happy.
167
Wow, I am so happy today.
168
Will you dance with me?
169
Wow, you dance so well!
170
It's a great day for me.
171
I found the love of my life in this.
172
Look!
173
My father is back!
174
Welcome back, Father.
175
I want you to meet the love of my life.
176
She saved my life.
177
I love her father.
178
I want to marry her.
179
The little mermaid was heartbroken.
180
I feel a terrible pain in my heart.
181
The king announced the marriage of the prince.
182
I lost him forever and now the first ray of dawn will bring me death
183
and I will disappear into the ocean foam.
184
Shrimp reached the palace and told everything to the sea king and his daughters daughters.
185
Oh God bless my daughter.
186
I know this is the trick of the witch.
187
The king prayed to the sea goddess and took his trident and swam towards the surface.
188
At the same time, all the sisters started swimming towards the witch's den.
189
My sister is really in trouble now.
190
We all request you to take back your magic spell.
191
How shameful!
192
The Princess of the Great Sea begging to a witch!
193
Well, I have a counterspell, but for that she needs to murder of the Prince.
194
If the little mermaid will kill the prince with this magical dagger only then she can come back to her mermaid life.
195
The sisters swam towards the surface and told the father about the counter spell.
196
They found Eva sitting under a tree on the beach.
197
Eva!
198
Father!
199
Sisters!
200
Don't cry my child.
201
If you want to undo the witch's magic, you have to do as I say.
202
You will have to kill the prince and then you will turn into a mermaid again.
203
No father.
204
I know that you love him my child but he can never be yours.
205
Do it for your father.
206
Eva, without you I will die.
207
The little mermaid looked at her father and sisters who were crying.
208
She took that dagger and went towards the palace.
209
The prince was sleeping in his room.
210
Oh God, I can't do this with my love.
211
I'll happily die rather than kill him and he can marry his love and live happily.
212
She went back to her father and her sisters sisters, all were shocked to see the dagger without the blood.
213
I can't do this.
214
The sun was about to rise.
215
She reached near the beach and jumped into the sea.
216
I want to disappear and turn into foam.
217
Goodbye my love.
218
Goodbye my father, my sisters.
219
Please forgive me.
220
Goodbye.
221
Suddenly, a mysterious force got her out of the water.
222
The air fairies appeared and took her out of the sea. Where am I?
223
You are with us in the sky.
224
We are the air fairies.
225
We are here to give you the reward for your kindness.
226
Your love towards humans and sea creatures and you now may obtain an immortal soul.
227
And you will be born as a human in the future.
228
Thank you so much, Godmothers.
229
I will always love you my sweet prince.
230
In your next birth you will be my love again.
231
She went up and up into the heaven with the air fairies.

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.
