Oh yeah!
2
Today we are learning English with Pixar's 2023 hit "Elemental".
3
Elemental captures the beauty and challenges of living in a melting pot society.
4
Similar to New York City, a melting pot is a place where people from many different cultures mix to create a diverse community.
5
In elemental, fire, water, earth and air people, all live in one place.
6
The movie explores what happens when boundaries start to break down and different groups actually connect.
7
By the way, as someone who had to learn English myself, I find it So frustrating when I have a conversation in English and a word I learned Well,
8
come to my mind, I bet this happens to you too.
9
That's why We're here to help.
10
We have advanced tools on the RealLife English app like Flashcards and our AI Coach,
11
so you can practice all of today's new expressions like "melting pot" and never forget them.
12
I'll show you exactly how it works in a few minutes, but for now.
13
Let's start the lesson!
14
We have two scenes from the movie, you'll watch each one, then I'll teach you all the advanced expressions and pronunciation.
15
Stick around until the end because you'll test everything you learned by watching the scenes a final time.
16
without subtitles and answer some quiz questions.
17
Let's go!
18
Before I see if you are a match, I splash this on your heart to bring love to to the surface.
19
And I will read the smoke.
20
-Embeth!
21
I'm doing a reading!
22
-Sorry!
23
Gotta grab some stuff!
24
So, are we a match?
25
It's true love.
26
Which is more than I ever smelled on this one.
27
Oh goody this old chestnut.
28
Yep.
29
Nothing.
30
Just a loveless, sad future of sadness.
31
Ember, work with me!
32
Your finding match was my mother's dying wish!
33
Alright, so in this scene we meet Amber, a young fire element living in Element City, a place where different elements live together. But...
34
Here's the thing: they don't always mix well.
35
Fire and water especially tend to stay separate, living in their own neighborhoods, shopping at their own stores.
36
Amber's family runs a traditional fire shop and like many immigrant families, they hold tight to their culture and traditions.
37
One of those traditions?
38
Finding the perfect romantic match through a matchmaker.
39
We just saw her in this scene, so now let's learn the vocabulary.
40
Before I see if you are a match...
41
So, when two people are a match, it means they are compatible.
42
They go well together, especially romantically.
43
The matchmaker's job is to determine if two people would make a good couple.
44
By the way, the matchmaker is Amber's mother.
45
This expression comes from the idea of matching, like matching pajamas or matching puzzle pieces.
46
So, when things match, they fit together perfectly.
47
Check out how it can be used in other contexts.
48
Look at our shadows.
49
We match.
50
What have we here?
51
Matching uniforms?
52
I splashed this on your heart to bring love.
53
To splash means to make water or other liquid fly through the air, maybe heat something, like here.
54
In this magical ritual, the matchmaker splashes special water onto the customer to reveal their true feelings.
55
But what does it mean to bring something to the surface?
56
To make something float on water?
57
to reveal something hidden, to clean something thoroughly.
58
When you bring something to the surface,
59
you're making hidden feelings, truths, or information visible.
60
For example, if you do therapy, it may help bring childhood traumas to the surface so you can finally deal with them.
61
"Embe, I'm doing a reading !" "Sorry !" To do a reading means to perform a fortune telling
62
or a ritual to predict someone's future or reveal hidden truths.
63
In many cultures, people visit psychics, tarot card readers or matchmakers who do readings to gain insight.
64
For example, Professor Trelawney from Harry Potter reads tea leaves to predict the future.
65
Sorry, gotta grab some stuff.
66
Now, grab some stuff is super casual English.
67
To grab here means to quickly pick up items.
68
Stuff refers to things.
69
Check out these examples.
70
Yeah, the bus is here.
71
Whoa grab your stuff.
72
Go on get on the - This line is packed with sarcasm.
73
"Goodie" is an old -fashioned childish way of expressing excitement like "hooray" or "yippee" but Amber is clearly being sarcastic here.
74
She's annoyed that her mother is criticizing her for being single.
75
Now.
76
What about this colorful idiom she used? this old chestnut.
77
What do you think it means?
78
a type of traditional food an outdated fashion trend, or an old repeatedly told story or joke.
79
you Nice!
80
So when someone says "this old chestnut", they're referring to something that's been said so many times.
81
It's become boring.
82
This is a common expression that means "help me out here".
83
The matchmaker is asking Ember to make a good impression in front of the customers.
84
You'll hear "work with me" a lot in situations where someone needs another person's patience.
85
Imagine you're trying to take a group photo and someone keeps moving, so you say: "Come on, work with me!
86
Just stand still for two seconds !" And hey, could you give me just two seconds?
87
Do you want to speak English naturally and fluently?
88
Well, at the start of the lesson, I mentioned our new AI coach on the RealLife app, so you should know that it will help you a lot with this goal.
89
You can practice the new expressions you're learning today like bring to the surface,
90
grab some stuff and work with me in a safe speaking environment every day.
91
Your coach helps you use these expressions in a real conversation and gives you instant, personalized feedback.
92
The thing is, If you don't practice what you're learning today, it will disappear from your memory in hours or even minutes.
93
You don't want to get into a conversation and
94
know that you learned an expression in this lesson that would be perfect to use but not remember it.
95
right?
96
Just check out what our premium user Marzio said about his experience.
97
He had tried dozens of courses and solutions but with the real -life app he finally feels like
98
His confidence is getting better.
99
Oh yeah, Marcio!
100
Give it a try yourself, just click the link in the description below to get started.
101
for free Now, let's jump forward in the movie.
102
Ember meets a water person named Wade.
103
While Amber is hot -tempered and doesn't trust people easily, Wade is sensitive and connects well with other people.
104
The second time they meet, Wade is completely flustered because he finds Amber attractive.
105
But as a water guy talking to a fire girl, everything he says just comes out wrong.
106
"A -FOOT !" "Hey, hey !" "No !" "Sorry !" You're so hot.
107
Excuse me?
108
No, I mean like you're smoking.
109
No, I didn't mean it like that.
110
Are you done yet?
111
Yes, please.
112
You're so hot.
113
Excuse me?
114
No, I mean like you're smoking!
115
Hilarious!
116
Alright, so hot and smoking are both slang terms that mean extremely attractive or sexy,
117
like how Henry Cavill looks really hot in The Witcher or how Beyonce always looks absolutely smoking when she performs.
118
The humor here is that Wade is literally talking to someone made of fire, so she is physically hot and smoking.
119
That's why it's so awkward.
120
He intends to comment on her temperature, but she thinks He is commenting on her appearance.
121
Eventually Wade and Amber get to know each other better and although Amber grew up with a father who dislikes water people,
122
she begins to see that There is a real beauty in their differences.
123
How'd you do that?
124
It's the minerals.
125
Check this out.
126
Awesome!
127
Watch this!
128
There was some interesting connected speech there.
129
That's how native speakers cut, reduce, and link their words in fluent speech.
130
And learning connected speech can help you understand fast speaking natives better, and speak more naturally yourself.
131
So, Let's break it down.
132
How'd you do that?
133
First of all, let's check out some morphing that happened here.
134
When a word ending with D is followed by the pronoun "you" They usually transform into "Jew".
135
So, how did "you" becomes How do you?
136
That ends with a glottal T.
137
The T is not fully released, it's cut off at the back of the throat.
138
The.
139
Let's put it all together.
140
How do you do that?
141
How'd you do that?
142
Your speaking will only improve with lots of practice, so listen to Wade again and try to say it exactly like him.
143
How'd you do that?
144
you Before we move on to the next scene, let me tell you about something pretty amazing.
145
You know how Elemental deals with themes of immigration, cultural identity and learning to embrace differences.
146
There is actually a real world parallel to Almond City.
147
Think about places like New York City in the early 1900s.
148
Millions of immigrants arrived from Italy,
149
Ireland, China, Eastern Europe, all bringing their languages and traditions and foods At first,
150
differing groups often stayed separate in their own neighborhoods just like Firetown in the movie.
151
There was prejudice and misunderstanding.
152
But over time, something beautiful happened.
153
These communities started mixing, sharing, Learning from each other Italian pizza became American pizza.
154
Chinese food became Chinese -American food and cities became these incredible Melting pots where diversity made everyone's lives Reach her!
155
That's exactly what Elemental is exploring.
156
How scary it can feel to cross boundaries and connect with people different from you.
157
but also how transformative and beautiful it can be when we do.
158
That's why here at RealLife English we always like to share with you that no matter what divides us, the agricultural differences.
159
What unites us is far greater.
160
In fact, we have the Global Speak on the RealLife app exactly
161
so you can connect to English learners from around the world and discover other cultures.
162
It's really like traveling without having to catch a play.
163
Now, let's get back to the movie.
164
At first, Amber's parents don't approve of her dating a water guy.
165
Let's see how her mom, the matchmaker, reacts when she finds out.
166
Mom, it's okay.
167
He's just a friend.
168
Sai!
169
Silence!
170
I could smell you from over there!
171
Oh, you stink!
172
What are you talking about?
173
You know what I'm talking about.
174
You're smelling love on me?
175
If your father find out, fire and water cannot be together.
176
I prove it!
177
Come with me!
178
I splash this on your heart to bring love to the surface.
179
And then you must light these with your fire, and I read the smoke.
180
- - Amen.
181
See Ember, it cannot be.
182
Actually What are you doing?
183
Sigh!
184
Silence!
185
I could smell you from over there!
186
Now, literally to stink means to smell bad, like the garbage stinks.
187
But Amber's mother isn't talking about normal smells.
188
She has special powers where she can smell love.
189
You might also hear stink used figuratively like: Something about his story stinks.
190
I don't think he's telling the truth.
191
Now, at the beginning of the clip, there was a bit of connected speech.
192
Let's listen again.
193
Mom, it's okay, he's just a friend.
194
The article "a" almost always reduces to just a schwa, which sounds like "uh".
195
This links to "just", so we hear one fluent phrase Just a friend.
196
He's just a friend.
197
Now it's your turn!
198
Listen to Amber again and say it just like her: He's just a friend!
199
He's just a friend!
200
And let's check out one final connector -speech example.
201
Questions like this almost always get super reduced.
202
What are you talking about?
203
When a T is between two vowel sounds in American English, it usually morphs into a soft D sound.
204
We call this a tap T, so instead of "what are" we hear "water".
205
The "a" in "about" becomes a schwa, and the "t" is a glottal "t". about About.
206
- Yeah.
207
And this links to the G from Talking.
208
talking about talking about.
209
Let's put it all together.
210
What are you talking about?
211
What are you talking about?
212
Alright, now you try saying it just like her.
213
When you prove something, you demonstrate or show that it's true using evidence.
214
Amber's mom wants to prove that fire and water cannot be together by doing a reading.
215
You might also use this as a command Prove it! when you don't believe what someone is saying.
216
Here's an example from the movie Toy Story.
217
I can't tell you, I could fly around this room with my eyes closed.
218
Okay then, Mr. Lightbeer, prove it.
219
Alright, then I will.
220
And by the way, did you notice the grammar mistake here?
221
I prove it!
222
Come with me!
223
It should be "I will prove it".
224
Amber's parents aren't native English speakers, but we can understand them perfectly.
225
It just goes to show you that it's okay to make mistakes, as long as others can understand you.
226
Thank you.
227
This is a formal dramatic way of saying something is not possible acceptable.
228
So here, Amber's mom is attempting to use the force of tradition
229
and her authority as a parent to try to stop what she sees as as an impossible romance.
230
Now, here's what makes this scene so powerful.
231
Amber's mom is expressing a prejudice that's been passed down through generations.
232
Fire and water cannot mix.
233
They're too different.
234
It's dangerous.
235
It goes against tradition.
236
But then, as we see, somehow amber and weight Make a perfect match But think about real -world examples of this kind of thinking.
237
For centuries, people said that different races couldn't marry.
238
The people from different religions couldn't be together.
239
that people from different social classes couldn't mix.
240
In 1967, the US Supreme Court case Loving v.
241
Virginia finally struck down laws banning interracial marriage.
242
Think about that.
243
It was illegal in many states for people of different races to marry until 1967.
244
However, We know better.
245
Again, no matter what divides us, what unites us, is far greater.
246
And now comes the most important part of the lesson.
247
You'll test everything that you learned today by watching the scenes a final time without subtitles and answering some quiz questions.
248
You've got this.
249
Before I see if you are a match, I splash this on your heart to bring love to to the surface.
250
And I will read the smoke.
251
Fill in the blank I need to run home and before we head to the party.
252
I need to run home and grab some stuff before we head to the party.
253
I'm doing a reading!
254
Sorry, gotta grab some stuff.
255
So, are we a match?
256
It's true love.
257
Which is more than I ever smelled on this one.
258
Oh goody, this old chestnut.
259
Yep.
260
Nothing.
261
Just a loveless, sad future of sadness. In there!
262
Work with me!
263
Your finding match was my mother's dying wish!
264
A -Fu!
265
Hey!
266
Hey!
267
Oh!
268
Sorry!
269
You're so hot.
270
Excuse me?
271
No, I mean like you're smoking.
272
If someone says "you're so hot" or "you're smoking" in a casual context, what are they saying?
273
You have a fever.
274
you're extremely attractive.
275
or you're angry or upset.
276
No, I didn't mean it like that.
277
Are you done yet?
278
Yes, please.
279
Mom, it's OK.
280
He's just a friend.
281
Sai!
282
Silence!
283
I could smell you from over there!
284
Oh, you stink!
285
What are you talking about?
286
You know what I'm talking about.
287
Y -you're smelling love on me?
288
If your father finds out...
289
Complete this sentence.
290
My mom said I can't get a motorcycle.
291
She says, .
292
My mom said I can't get a motorcycle.
293
She says it cannot be.
294
Fire and water cannot be together!
295
I prove it!
296
Come with me!
297
I splashed this on your heart to bring love to the surface.
298
And then you must light these with your fire, and I read the smoke.
299
- Thank you.
300
- Okay.
301
- Yeah.
302
See Ember?
303
It cannot be!
304
Actually What are you doing?
305
Oh yeah!

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
