1
Today we are learning English with the Princess Diaries, a shy, awkward teenager who feels invisible at her high school in San Francisco.
2
Oops, I'm sorry I didn't see you.
3
Suddenly finds out that her father is the next king of Genovia,
4
a small European kingdom.
5
Her life takes a dramatic turn and since Mia is to become a princess, there are some certain rules she has to follow.
6
In the clip we brought for you today, her grandmother, the queen, is helping Mia with a royal makeover and teaching her some princess manners.
7
Mia isn't used to those fancy rules, so things get funny.

17
and at the end of the lesson you'll take a short
18
quiz by watching the clip one more time without subtitles and answering a few questions So please welcome Princess Mia. in these Bushman eyebrows.
19
The neck is seemly, and you will wear stockings, not tights, not socks, and I never want to see those shoes again.
20
When walking in a crowd, one is under scrutiny all the time.
21
So we don't schlump like this.
22
We drop the shoulders, we think tall, We tuck under and we transfer the weight from one foot to...
23
Why don't you just tuck one ankle behind the other and place the hands gracefully on the knees.
24
As a mother to a daughter, this scene worries me a little bit, as it may be misleading for young girls.
25
So-called beauty standards and being judged by their looks can make girls doubt themselves and feel pressured to change, to fit in.
26
Instead, I hope you take away a lesson in valuing individuality.
27
For instance, when Clarice says Mia's eyes are lovely,
28
it's a reminder that certain qualities are worth celebrating.
29
Everyone has a unique quality to carry with pride, as we see later in the movie.
30
Now, before we dive into today's lesson and learn some really great English expressions,
31
I thought you might enjoy hearing Anne Hathaway's reflection on the film, looking back over her acting career.
32
This was the film that changed my life.
33
Like, it's so weird to watch it.
34
I haven't seen this movie in maybe 20 years and I'm a little bit speechless with this one.
35
This is, it's actually, it's very emotional to see it.
36
She says she's speechless because the movie proved to be so important in her career that she finds herself overwhelmed with emotion,
37
so it's hard to find words to express yourself.
38
We will return to Anne Hathaway, but now let's learn English with Mia and her grandmother, the Queen.
39
Amelia, circle slowly so I can evaluate the work to be done.
40
Amelia, does your bad posture affect your hearing?
41
Turn.
42
Oh, sorry.
43
No, no, no, slowly turn.
44
Slowly.
45
Thank you.
46
I already used the word to judge earlier,
47
and evaluate would be a more formal word to say that you want to judge or assess someone's looks,
48
behavior, performance, or a situation in general.
49
Hold up, you're evaluating us?
50
Think about it, how do baseball teams get better?
51
They evaluate performance.
52
This is just an informal yet permanent record of who is contributing what.
53
Yeah, why don't we evaluate you?
54
Evaluate me?
55
Yeah, you know what?
56
I already did.
57
Amelia, does your bad posture affect your hearing?
58
Turn.
59
Oh, sorry.
60
No, no, no, slowly turn.
61
Slowly.
62
Thank you.
63
Well, carriage, obviously.
64
Posture is how you hold your body and like body language it can say a lot about a person, whether you are confident, shy or afraid of something.
65
In this scene the word carriage is used as a more formal, somewhat old-fashioned word to refer to me as posture.
66
Carriage is related to the word carry and the phrase to carry yourself is still in use in modern English,
67
and it means how you present yourself in terms of confidence and elegance.
68
It's an attitude, Greg.
69
It's a confidence.
70
It's the way you carry yourself that lets the world know that the buck stops with you.
71
Hair style.
72
Complexion.
73
Stop!
74
When you want to talk about someone's skin tone or texture, you will use the word complexion.
75
The word complexion is often collocated with adjectives like clear, fair, dark, healthy, or glowing when referring to skin.
76
Check out these examples.
77
Any more information I should know?
78
Yes, but not about this.
79
We're doctors, we like to give out health tips.
80
You should wear sunscreen, even with your dark complexion.
81
Nice save!
82
Mm-hmm.
83
More concealing cream?
84
Your complexion is so fair.
85
Now this has a touch of lavender in it.
86
Has it happened to you
87
that you got a chance to practice your English speaking by having a real conversation online or face-to-face,
88
and that expression that you know you've learned before just doesn't come to you at the moment when you need it?
89
I know how frustrating that feels.
90
To be in a conversation and find yourself pausing frequently because you're forgetting all the useful words you know. That sucks.
91
I've been there before.
92
This feeling when you know what you want to say
93
and you just want to be able to express your thoughts as easily as you can do it in your native tongue.
94
This is exactly why we built RealLifeFab and that's exactly what it can help you with.
95
As I mentioned, every lesson like this one comes with a deck of flashcards.
96
By practicing just 10-15 minutes daily with them on our app,
97
you'll be able to transfer these new words from your short-term into your long-term memory.
98
Plus, with the spaced repetition software, you'll retain vocabulary more effectively by reviewing new words at carefully timed intervals,
99
just when you're about to forget them.
100
highly recommend you check it out.
101
The app is free to download, just look for RealLife English in the App Store or Google Play or simply click the link in the description below.
102
It's free to get started, so download it now.
103
like her father.
104
Her comment about Mia's eyebrows was not nice at all and not politically correct, so I would suggest that you avoid any comments like that.
105
But let me explain what she means here.
106
This is the Bushman people, also known as the Sam people, the indigenous hunter-gatherers traditionally living in southern Africa.
107
When the queen says Mia has Bushman eyebrows, she means they are very thick.
108
In everyday English we usually describe thick eyebrows as bushy, which comes from the word bush.
109
Bushes are plants usually shorter than trees and often have a rounded thick appearance.
110
Bushy can also describe thick messy hair or beard.
111
What's that sir?
112
A great big bushy beard come on let's have a mosey around the neck is seemly is like her father
113
seemly is an uncommon word meaning appropriate or proper
114
so she says Mia's neck is appropriate or presentable looking neat who has nails like these
115
everybody well tomorrow I would like to see clean fingers
116
and you will wear stockings not tights not socks
117
and I never want to see those shoes again these are stockings tights
118
and socks sometimes it's really hard to differentiate between socks
119
and stockings right so just look at them again
120
and try to remember interesting fact stockings were first used in medieval times
121
when leg coverings were essential for both warmth and modesty and and they were worn by men and women.
122
And this is a Christmas stocking.
123
They can hold more candies and presents than socks, so maybe it helps you remember the difference.
124
And I never want to see those shoes again.
125
Let's break down the connected speech in this phrase.
126
And I never want to see those shoes again.
127
What happens here is we drop the D sound from AND and link three words together.
128
And I never.
129
And I never.
130
want to see has a schwa sound want to want to see
131
and it can even be reduced to wanna see wanna see
132
listen to this part again those shoes again those shoes again you can't hear the zip sound from those
133
because it merges into the shoot sound from shoes those shoes those shoes again the words shoes
134
and again are linked together with a schwa sound from again again shoes again shoes again now listen again
135
and repeat the whole phrase and I never want to see those shoes again
136
And I never want to see those shoes again.
137
And I never want to see those shoes again.
138
When walking in a crowd, one is under scrutiny all the time.
139
So we don't schlump like this.
140
Under scrutiny means that someone's actions are being watched very closely, often to check if they're doing things right or if there are any mistakes.
141
It's like having a spotlight on you, where people are paying extra attention to what you do.
142
It is a wonder then that feet do not tire or,
143
heaven forbid, trip under the scrutiny of all those attentive eyes keeping close watch indeed.
144
So we don't schlump like this.
145
The word schlump refers to a poor posture.
146
It originates from Yiddish and is used primarily in American English, especially in casual or humorous settings.
147
A more common word would be slump.
148
It means to sit, lean or fall heavily, often due to tiredness, laziness or discouragement.
149
So imagine you've had a very long day and you slump into your chair, too tired to even take off your shoes.
150
He passed out over his arm and slumped onto the floor.
151
To the boncho?
152
We tuck under and we transfer the weight from one foot to...
153
No, princesses never cross their legs in public.
154
Why don't you just tuck one ankle behind the other and place the hands gracefully on the knees.
155
Tuck under means to pull or position something close to the body, often to create a neat compact shape.
156
It's straightening your posture.
157
She then teaches Mia not to cross her legs, but to tuck one ankle behind the other.
158
Here, tuck suggests making a small movement to keep the legs together in a graceful way.
159
You can often hear the phrase tuck in your shirt, meaning to neatly place the bottom of your shirt inside your pants or skirt,
160
so it looks tidy and doesn't hang loosely.
161
Like here in this example.
162
Oh, thank you.
163
Well, I don't tuck in that much.
164
See, golf makes me tuck in.
165
I'm rarely tucked in.
166
No, princesses never cross their legs in public.
167
Why don't you just tuck one ankle behind the other and place the hands gracefully on the knees?
168
The word gracefully relates to elegance.
169
It's commonly used with verbs that reflect movement, behavior or response.
170
For example, move gracefully, speak gracefully.
171
And you can picture a pair of swans swimming gracefully on the lake.
172
And finally, there's some grammar structure I wanted to comment on.
173
The queen says, why don't you tuck one ankle behind the other?
174
That sounds different from her more direct instructions like, we don't schlump like this or princesses never cross their legs.
175
If you want to give instruction or advice while sounding friendly and polite, start your sentence with this phrase.
176
Why don't you?
177
And if it is a suggestion rather than a question, we don't always need a question mark at the end.
178
Why don't you just tuck one ankle behind the other?
179
You can also practice the connected speech with this phrase.
180
The combination of the letters T plus y gives us a CHU sound.
181
Why don't you?
182
Why don't you?
183
Listen and repeat.
184
Why don't you just talk?
185
Why don't you just talk?
186
In this next scene, you'll see a humorous makeover session where Paolo, the stylist, is helping Mia to get ready for a state dinner.
187
Let the work begin.
188
Ah, of course.
189
Where is the beautiful girl?
190
My granddaughter, Amelia.
191
Ah!
192
She is gorgeous.
193
Let us take a closer look.
194
Bizzy, busy, dizzy.
195
In the best sense.
196
Oh.
197
He's all right.
198
Do you wear contact lens?
199
Well, I have them, but I don't really like to wear them that much.
200
Now you do.
201
I love your eyebrows.
202
We'll call them Frida and Kahlo.
203
You want to know a big secret?
204
Tell me.
205
The cucumber does nothing.
206
This is something we make up.
207
Majesty.
208
A princess. So Paolo is Italian.
209
You can hear he uses the wrong pronunciation of the word gorgeous.
210
You may want to repeat after me.
211
gorgeous gorgeous means very beautiful
212
and attractive freezy busy dizzy it may sound like gibberish a random set of words
213
but actually it's a playful rhyming phrase used by paolo to describe mia's untamed hair untamed means wild uncontrolled
214
or not managed it often describes something
215
natural or rough that hasn't been shaped groomed or organized
216
so let's break down these words one by one frizzy
217
when said about hair it means wild curly
218
or untamed i need you what should we do about my hair
219
that lady called it frizzy your hair is flawless busy normally means having a lot to do
220
but here it likely refers to her hair being messy
221
or full of texture as if there is a lot going on And finally, Dizzy describes feeling a lightheaded,
222
that sensation of spinning around and losing one's balance.
223
But here, it humorously suggests her hair is chaotic or out of control.
224
Do you wear contact lenses?
225
Well, I have them but I don't really like to wear them that much.
226
Now you do.
227
You broke my glasses.
228
You broke my brush.
229
You see Mia wearing glasses.
230
When you have poor eyesight, an alternative to wearing glasses could be wearing contact lenses.
231
Transparent plastic lenses worn on the surface of the eye.
232
I love your eyebrows.
233
We'll call them Frida and Kahlo.
234
Paolo humorously names Mia's eyebrows Frida and Kahlo, referencing Frida Kahlo's iconic look.
235
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her deeply personal and surreal self-portraits.
236
Now I promised you to come back to Anne Hathaway.
237
Here's how she commented on this part of the clip.
238
So he really had to break the brush in this.
239
They pre-broke the brush and it was supposed to break kind of easily, but it didn't quite happen.
240
So that's me and Larry.
241
I'm kind of improv-ing trying to get it to go.
242
And I don't remember if the owl was real or if I was just buying him some time.
243
To buy some time means to create a delay, to give some extra time somebody needs for something.
244
Like in this case, they had to improvise to save the scene and actually break the brush.
245
You want to know a big secret?
246
The cucumber does nothing.
247
This is something we make up.
248
Make up means to create or invent something, especially a story or an idea that didn't happen or isn't true.
249
Majesty, Paolo is exhausted.
250
Because, Majesty, only Paolo can take this and this and give you a princess.
251
When you are exhausted, you're extremely tired or worn out, with no energy left.
252
Do you remember the word you can use to describe collapsing onto the couch when you are completely exhausted?
253
Let's find out because now it's time for a test.
254
Amelia, circle slowly so I can evaluate the work to be done.
255
Amelia, does your bad posture affect your hearing?
256
Turn.
257
Oh, sorry.
258
No, no, no, slowly turn.
259
Slowly.
260
Thank you.
261
What is a posture?
262
The way you hold your body, how fast you move, Your tone of voice, your energy level.
263
Well, carriage, obviously.
264
Hairstyle, complexion...
265
Stop!
266
Eyes, lovely.
267
But hidden beneath Bushman eyebrows.
268
What would be the opposite of bushy eyebrows?
269
Thin eyebrows?
270
Sparse eyebrows?
271
Thick eyebrows?
272
Bushy eyebrows?
273
The neck is seemly. Is...
274
Like her father.
275
Really?
276
They are?
277
Oh my!
278
Who has nails like these?
279
Everybody?
280
Well, tomorrow I would like to see clean fingers, and you will wear stockings, not tights, not socks, and I never want to see those shoes again.
281
When walking in a crowd, one is under scrutiny all the time.
282
What does it mean to be under scrutiny?
283
To be under scrutiny means being closely watched or examined, often to check for mistakes or problems.
284
Let the work begin.
285
Ah, of course.
286
Where is the beautiful girl?
287
My granddaughter Amelia.
288
No!
289
She is gorgeous.
290
Let us take a closer look.
291
Carlo, we have a limited number of days before the state dinner.
292
What does gorgeous mean?
293
Very beautiful or attractive, graceful like a swan, calm and peaceful, very unattractive.
294
You want to know a big secret?
295
Tell me.
296
The cucumber does nothing.
297
This is something we make up.
298
In this context, what does the phrasal verb make up mean?
299
Use cosmetics.
300
Use it for eating.
301
Invent something.
302
That's it for today!
303
Good job, guys!

314
I should hope so.
315
I suppose it would be nonsensical for you to have befriended her if you knew, considering everything she's written.

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.
