1
That day, the seven baby goats were very, very happy because it was summer vacation.
2
They were having fun together by throwing water at each other by the sea and enjoying the warm weather.
3
A few hours later, all the goat siblings returned to their homes.
4
But at that time, the two goat siblings still swimming in the water did not notice this.
5
The waves are so much fun!
6
While the baby goats were having fun, unaware of everything, a hungry wolf on the shore was watching them hungrily,
7
contemplating plans to devour them.
8
However, at that time, both goats saw a large fishtail beyond the water.
9
They hugged each other in fear.
10
Huh?
11
Is that a shark?
12
If so, we must return to shore immediately.
13
The goats swam to the shore.
14
However, the fishtail they saw also followed them.
15
Finally, they realized that this fishtail that washed up on the shore actually belonged to the beautiful mermaid, Araya.
16
What is that?
17
A mermaid?
18
Help me!
19
The mermaid was bruised all over.
20
Wondering what had happened to her, the little goats thought of taking the mermaid home to be cured.
21
The wolf, who saw what was happening, could not hide his surprise.
22
An idea came to his mind that could turn the situation into an opportunity.
23
Araya told the goats in detail what had happened to her And how did your tail get damaged like that?
24
On the way home, there was such a big storm
25
that I hit rocks all over while trying to swim Both goat siblings thought that goat ointment,
26
which was good for every disease,
27
could be good for the wounds on her tail That's why they decided to take the mermaid home However, no matter how hard they tried,
28
they were not strong enough to carry the mermaid, Araya At that very moment, the treacherous wolf appeared before them
29
The goats ran away in fear And hid behind the giant umbrella standing on the side
30
The wolf took the net that the fisherman had forgotten and threw it at the mermaid.
31
Although the mermaid Araya struggled with anxiety, she was not strong enough to break free from the net.
32
Let me go, wolf!
33
I said let me go!
34
Help!
35
The mermaid's necklace fell to the ground while she was struggling, but she didn't notice it.
36
Since the wolf was stronger than the goats, he easily carried the mermaid away from the beach.
37
An amazing feast awaits me in the evening.
38
The goats, who did not know what to do with fear, noticed the necklace on the ground and took it with them.
39
We must save the mermaid from that treacherous wolf!
40
The goats were on their way to find the mermaid.
41
On the other hand, the evil wolf locked the mermaid in a small cage in a shabby fishing hut in the forest.
42
First I'll devour you, then I'll go after the goats!
43
Mermaid Araya heard the wolf's treacherous plan,
44
but she was very upset because she knew that she couldn't do anything.
45
On the other hand, the goat siblings had been looking for the mermaid in the forest for hours.
46
They saw an old fishing hut a short distance away.
47
They immediately rushed there.
48
When they climbed a hill and looked through the window, they saw that the mermaid Araya was imprisoned in a cage.
49
The wolf was preparing a huge dining table right next to her.
50
Both goads took this opportunity and came to Araya without being noticed by the wolf.
51
Mermaid Araya was very surprised to see them.
52
Get out of here now!
53
Or he'll catch you and eat you too!
54
However, both goats were very brave.
55
The little goat handed the goat ointment out of his pocket to the mermaid.
56
He said it would be good for her wounds.
57
But just then, the wolf noticed the goats.
58
Huh?
59
Goats?
60
Run!
61
The little goats ran back and forth in fear.
62
The mermaid applied the ointment to all her wounds in order to heal as soon as possible and save the goats.
63
Thus, she regained her health.
64
Just as the greedy wolf cornered one of the goats, the mermaid, now even stronger than before, radiated a dazzling light.
65
With that light, her fishtail turned into human feet.
66
Let go of the goats, wolf!
67
The mermaid picked up the net lying on the side and threw it at the wolf.
68
Grr!
69
Help!
70
I'm caught in the net!
71
No matter how hard the wolf struggled,
72
he got entangled in the net And the little goats were saved from being eaten by the wolf Heyo!
73
Thumbs up!
74
Hooray!
75
Hero Mermaid!
76
Without forgetting, the goat siblings gave the necklace that belonged to the mermaid back to her
77
Araya was very happy to have her lost necklace again Finally,
78
they all returned home together In this way, the friendship of the seven baby goats and the mermaid,
79
Araya, was never broken But the opportunistic wolf has never understood what friendship means
80
Little Mermaid Deep Blue Sea Once upon a time, there was a huge castle on the ocean shore.
81
There, Prince Edward and his wife lived happily.
82
Her name was Aria, and she was a mermaid.
83
Here's my whole deep blue sea.
84
Everything is fun, friends with me.
85
The king called me the little mermaid.
86
The very best daughter of the king of the sea Just look around,
87
you will see the joy A beautiful life and the ocean roar Just look around,
88
you will see the joy A beautiful life and the ocean roar Deeper in the ocean,
89
in the dark cave, was another castle castle, but this one was an evil castle.
90
The Sea King's evil sister lived there,
91
planning and plotting to destroy the Sea Kingdom and take her brother's throne.
92
One day, the evil sea witch Vega was swimming on the ocean floor with her sidekick,
93
Snake, and she saw a mirror with a purple frame stuck in the sand.
94
A magic mirror here in the bottom of the ocean.
95
I wonder where it came from?
96
Yes, take it to the caves, your majesty.
97
It might be useful.
98
The sea witch took the mirror and went to the cave.
99
As soon as she arrived, she stood in front of the mirror, but did not see a reflection of herself or anything else.
100
Days passed, and still the magic mirror only swirled and floated.
101
The sea witch did not understand how it worked, and just as she was going to throw it away, the whirlpool started to change.
102
Inside the whirlpool appeared the owner of the magic mirror.
103
It was the evil Queen Hela!
104
Mirror, mirror, what do you think?
105
Show me, show me, show me!
106
Where did you sink?
107
Vega was surprised to see that there was a land woman in the mirror.
108
And Snake hid in fear.
109
Oh, your majesties, the woman in the mirror is not yous!
110
Vega the sea witch came close to the mirror and responded to Hela.
111
This magic mirror is in the dark waters under the seas and is in the possession of Poseidon's sister.
112
That's me.
113
Hela and her Chamberlain Dunkov could not believe what they saw.
114
A sea woman with long tentacle legs.
115
Dunkov had heard about the Sea Kingdom and whispered to his queen about the powers of that world.
116
Hela was very interested in getting new powers from the ocean, so she made an offer to the Sea Witch.
117
Well, Landwitch Sandwitch, how about I make you a deal, you evil-hearted queen?
118
You help me out with the problem, and I will give you the Book of Spells, which contains very powerful spells.
119
The sea witch Vega told the evil-hearted Hela everything about the Mermaid Aria and the Prince Edward.
120
She said that if she could capture the prince, she could gain control over the deep sea kingdom forever.
121
It was three days later that Prince Edward began preparations for a sea voyage on his father's ship.
122
Just like always, he went to the bow of the ship and looked at the clouds to check the weather.
123
Ha ha!
124
The sky is clear, the weather is sunny, and the clouds are high.
125
Perfect conditions for sailing.
126
Next, Prince Edward was going to lean over the railing to see if the waters were calm.
127
But the Prince's dog barked and ran to him.
128
The dog tried to pull him towards the land.
129
Whoa, whoa!
130
What's wrong, old boy?
131
Doe's that's danger.
132
And just then, the sky suddenly darkened.
133
The clouds came together and blocked the sunlight.
134
Huge waves appeared on the horizon.
135
Queen Hela was using her crystal ball to control the clouds and winds around the prince's ship.
136
And the sea witch Vega was creating giant waves through the crystal pearl.
137
Then an enormous
138
wave swept over Edward and pulled him to the water, to the bottom of the ocean.
139
Back at the castle, the mermaid Arya saw the terrible storm and ran towards the dock to find Prince Edward.
140
She ran to the dock where Daggy had just swam back from the storm.
141
We don't have much time, Daggy!
142
Snake, who was waiting at the bottom of the ocean, found the prince and tied his feet and took him to the underwater cave.
143
Mermaid Arya gathered all her courage and dove off the pier into the sea.
144
But Vega saw her through her crystal pearl and suddenly turned the top of the water into ice.
145
So Mermaid Arya fell right onto the hard ice and hurt herself.
146
She tried to break the ice with her hands and feet, but it didn't work.
147
Oh no!
148
I can't get into the water!
149
It must be Vega trying to stop me from saving Edward!
150
At that time, her tiny friend Dolphin, Dolphy, who realized that Aria could not dive into the sea, came to her.
151
And he tried to break the ice with his nose.
152
But it was too hard.
153
Then, Skull Ringo came to help.
154
He tried to break the ice with his beak, but he also failed.
155
Time was running out.
156
Prince Edward was imprisoned in the cave of the Sea Witch and could not hold his breath much longer.
157
Vega the Sea Witch stood before the Black Mirror.
158
Black Mirror in the Sea, show that sandwich queen Hela to me.
159
I did what you wanted, squid legs.
160
Now you have to give me the Book of Spells in return.
161
The Sea Witch took the Book of Spells from the potion closet and thrust it through the whirlpool inside the mirror.
162
But tiny octopus arms on the book stuck to Vega's arm, and she could not let go.
163
And so the magic mirror transported her into the land where Queen Hela lived.
164
No, no!
165
It can't be!
166
How did I come here?
167
I have to turn back to my cave!
168
While the sea witch flopped around on land, the tiny dolphin Dolphy had gone for help.
169
He asked the giant whale, Willy, who lived in Deep Sea Kingdom, to help break the ice.
170
The giant whale, Willy, and the tiny dolphin, Dolphy, swam towards the surface of the water.
171
Aria, who realized what Willy was doing, and was very happy.
172
The big whale swam upwards and managed to break the ice on the surface with his strong nose.
173
Mermaid Aria immediately jumped into the water and swam towards the evil Vega's underwater cave.
174
As soon as Aria entered the water, her feet turned into a mermaid's tail.
175
Her friends Dolphy and Willy swam with her and reached the cave of Vega the Sea Witch.
176
The double-headed snake was standing guard at the entrance of the cave.
177
He saw someone coming.
178
He called out to the Sea Witch, who he thought was still in the cave.
179
Your Majesties, they have come,
180
they have come, whereas you do somethings.
181
Big Whale Willy had enough of the snake, so he trapped him in his huge mouth.
182
No, no!
183
I hate whale breath!
184
And it's dark in here!
185
Help us!
186
Quick!
187
Search all the rooms!
188
I'm going to the bone dungeon to look for Prince Edward!
189
When Mermaid Aria reached the bone dungeon, she saw the prince unconscious on the floor.
190
Aria squeezed through the cracks of the bone cage
191
and then placed magic sea sand into the prince's mouth to help him breathe under the water.
192
Suddenly a magical light surrounded the prince.
193
His feet slowly disappeared and they were replaced by a red fishtail.
194
So, Prince Edward awoke and began to breathe underwater.
195
Uhhh.
196
Uhhh.
197
Ha ha.
198
You're alive!
199
Arya, I can breathe underwater.
200
This is a very good feeling.
201
Thank you.
202
You saved my life.
203
Come on, let's get you out of here, my prince.
204
The mermaid Arya and Prince Edward, now a seaman, held hands and swam to the surface of the water.
205
Their lives, filled with joy and happiness, continued in the sea and on the land.
206
Hi birds.
207
Do you think we could get wings sometime?
208
That'd be so cool.
209
After days of flopping through the dirt, the sea witch finally reached the sea and returned to her cave.
210
And when she saw that Prince had escaped,
211
One way or another, I will enter that deep sea kingdom.

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.
