1
This is my house.
2
I have to defend it.
3
Heads up!
4
Don't worry, Marv, I'll get them for you!
5
NURRY!
6
Ow!
7
Yes!
8
Aww yeah, let's learn English with everyone's favorite Christmas classic, Home Alone.
9
Before we get started, if it's important for you to be able to remember all of the new words
10
and expressions that you're going to learn in today's episode, so that you can actually use them when you get into a conversation in English,
11
then I highly recommend that you download the RealLife English app and watch this lesson there, clicking the link down in the description below now.
12
You'll get vocabulary flashcards with all the expressions you'll learn today, like heads up, and I'll get them that we just saw in the opening clip.
13
And our app uses an innovative technology called Spaced Repetition Software, which is like magic for being able to remember any new word or expression.
14
And trust me, it was an essential tool for me in learning six different languages.
15
Alright, so don't miss out on having the right word at the right time exactly when you need it.
16
Download that for free right now by clicking the link in the description.
17
And now, let's have a lot of fun learning English with Home Alone.
18
This is how this lesson will work.
19
First, we will watch the clip with subtitles.
20
Then, you'll learn the key vocabulary and pronunciation.
21
Finally, you'll put it all to the test by watching again without subtitles and answering some quiz questions.
22
Hey, Mark.
23
Mark.
24
Mark.
25
Look at this.
26
I think we're getting scammed by a kindergarten.
27
Remember that kid we saw the other day?
28
He lives here.
29
Well, if the kid's there, the parent's gotta be.
30
He's home alone.
31
You gotta be kidding.
32
You wanna come back tonight?
33
Uh-huh.
34
Even with the kid here?
35
Uh-huh.
36
I don't think that's a good idea, Harry.
37
Hey, look, that house is the only reason we started working this block in the first place.
38
Ever since I laid eyes on that house, I wanted it.
39
So let's take it one step in time, okay?
40
Okay, we'll unload the van, we'll get a bite to eat, we'll come back about 9 o'clock.
41
If you yell, heads up, it's to alert someone that there is something they should be cautious of or look out for.
42
For instance, if you were playing soccer and a teammate accidentally kicks the ball towards your friend's back, you might yell, heads up, so your friend can dodge it in time.
43
Get is such a versatile word.
44
In this instance, if you say that you will get someone, it means that you will capture or attack that person.
45
I think we're getting scammed by a kindy garden.
46
Now if you're scammed, it means you've been tricked or deceived.
47
For example, imagine someone creates a fake website
48
that looks like a well-known store and tricks people into entering their credit card information.
49
They take the money, but never send any products.
50
This is an example of scamming and is how this expression is more commonly used.
51
In this context when Harry says I think we're getting scammed by a kindergartner, he means to say that Kevin is trying to fool them into believing that his parents are still at home.
52
Kevin McAllister is eight years old in Home Alone, so he's not really a kindergartner.
53
A kindergartner would be a kid aged from five to six years old and attending kindergarten, part of the American elementary school system and the grade just before first grade.
54
By the way, notice that the T gets cut off at the back of the throat.
55
Kindergartner.
56
You're trying saying it.
57
Kindergartner.
58
Kindergartner.
59
Kindergartner.
60
Here, we see Kevin putting up ornaments on the Christmas tree, carefully placing a shiny red ball.
61
Suddenly, he spots the reflection of the burglars outside, realizing they are watching him.
62
Hey, let me ask you something.
63
Do you feel stuck trying to remember the new words that you learn?
64
They just don't come to you when you need them.
65
Or maybe your problem is that you just sound too basic
66
because you're using the same words all the time and you sound repetitive.
67
You don't flow at all as naturally as you do in your native language, right?
68
I know exactly how you feel.
69
I suffered from exactly the same problem in learning six different languages myself
70
and I've talked to thousands of learners from every part of the world who also struggle
71
so much like this just like you are
72
and this is exactly why we created the real life english app to give learners like you the resources
73
that you need to speak english confidently
74
and naturally i mean you want to speak more english right
75
but that's just so hard to do without the words
76
that you need in your active vocabulary that's the vocabulary
77
that comes to you easily without you having to pause and think about it and then the conversation just flows really smoothly.
78
Well, every new lesson we create comes with vocabulary flashcards, and the flashcards and the video are over on the RealLife English app.
79
By practicing just 10 to 15 minutes a day,
80
you'll be able to transfer these new words and expressions from your short-term memory to your long-term memory using spaced repetition software,
81
which tests you on the new words at spaced intervals, reminding you of it right when when you're about to forget it.
82
So you will always have exactly the word you need right when you need it in your English conversations.
83
So download it for free right now by searching for RealLife English in the Google Play Store
84
or Apple App Store or you can simply click the link down in the description below
85
and if you do that on your phone it will take you right to the Home Alone lesson.
86
Now let's do a quick quiz with the next part of the scene.
87
Aw yeah!
88
Remember that kid we saw the other day?
89
He lives here.
90
What does the phrase, the other day, mean?
91
Yesterday, a few days ago, last weekend.
92
Yes, this means a recent day in the past, not too long ago.
93
It's a great phrase to use when telling personal stories.
94
You can practice it now.
95
Share something interesting that happened to you the other day in the comments.
96
Or you could even go to the RealLife English app
97
and connect to another English learner to share it with them and practice your speaking.
98
You gotta be kidding.
99
You wanna come back tonight?
100
Uh huh.
101
Even with the kid here?
102
To be kidding means to be joking or fooling someone in a playful way.
103
But the phrase, you gotta be kidding, is actually used to express surprise as a reaction to something the other person did or said.
104
If we go by the grammar books, the expression should be, you have got to be kidding.
105
However, in fascinating speech, we often drop auxiliary verbs like have.
106
Furthermore, got to becomes gotta.
107
Notice the flap T sound, gotta.
108
And we drop the G in ing words like kidding, so it becomes, you gotta be kidding.
109
Listen again and repeat.
110
A block is a
111
group of buildings surrounded by four streets.
112
People often use a block to describe walking or driving distances.
113
For example, it's two blocks away means it is two street segments away.
114
Now there's a great collocation in this sentence.
115
house is the only reason why we started working this block.
116
Working something, like working this area or working this block, means focusing effort, attention, or activity on a specific place or subject.
117
Where working this block means they are focusing their burglary efforts on that particular neighborhood.
118
Did you see the district for our inspection right today?
119
It's just a bunch of mansions and yoga studios.
120
Last time I worked that area, that lady threatened to sue me because I got mud on her carpet.
121
And the expression in the first place means at the start, usually referring to the original reason or situation for something.
122
When you lay eyes on something, you see or notice it.
123
Like here, one of the burglars says that from the moment that he noticed that house, he wanted to rob it.
124
And he doesn't want to make any mistakes.
125
So, he wants to take it one step at a time.
126
Which means he wants to proceed slowly and carefully, handling one thing at a time to avoid rushing or messing up.
127
There's a great example of connected speech in the phrase, I wanted it, and take it one step at a time.
128
Let's break it down.
129
I wanted it.
130
We drop the T in the NT combination.
131
Wanted becomes wanted.
132
Then the D from wanted links to it, forming one chunk.
133
Wanted it.
134
I wanted it.
135
Listen and repeat.
136
Wanted it.
137
Wanted it.
138
So let's take it one step at a time, okay?
139
Take it one step at a time.
140
What happens here?
141
Well first we have a stop T at the end of it and it links to take.
142
Take it.
143
Then these next four words, step at a time, are linked together.
144
The P from step is linked to a schwa sound in at.
145
Step up.
146
The T from at is followed by another schwa sound and turns into a d sound.
147
Step it up.
148
One step at a time.
149
Listen and repeat.
150
Let's take a one step at a time, okay?
151
Let's take a one step at a time, okay?
152
We'll unload the van, we'll get a bite to eat, we'll come back about 9 o'clock.
153
As Kevin opens up the window to hear what the Wet Bandits are saying, there are two nice words you can remember to describe a similar situation.
154
These words are over here and eavesdrop.
155
Let's try a quick quiz.
156
Can you match the meaning?
157
So, Kevin heard that the burglars will come back about 9 o'clock after they unload the van and grab a bite.
158
When you unload a vehicle, like a car, truck or van, you remove things out of it.
159
Get a bite to eat or grab a bite is an informal way to refer to having a light meal.
160
Check out this example.
161
I'm gonna go grab a bite.
162
I'll meet you down there.
163
So this movie is known for the hilarious traps that Kevin ingeniously sets for the burglars.
164
In fact, he even has this battle plan that points out a lot of the booby traps that he set for them.
165
There's a whole sequence of them.
166
And a fun fact for you, Macaulay Culkin, the kid actor, actually drew this map himself.
167
By the way, a booby trap is a hidden trick which can be quite harmless, maybe a bucket of water falling onto your friend,
168
but it could also be used to stop bad people, like something sharp on the floor or a heated door knob see these traps until it's too late,
169
which is exactly what makes them so effective.
170
So we're going to see how Kevin gets started with this in the next scene and you're gonna laugh a lot.
171
Let's go.
172
This is it.
173
Don't get scared now.
174
Merry Christmas little fella.
175
We know that you're in there and that you're all alone.
176
Yeah, come on, kid, open up.
177
It's Santa Claus and his elf.
178
We're not gonna hurt you.
179
No, no. We got some nice presents for you.
180
Be a good little fella now and open the door.
181
Shoot!
182
No!
183
No!
184
What?
185
What?
186
What?
187
What?
188
What?
189
What?
190
What happened?
191
Get that little...
192
Hello. Did you
193
notice that the scene starts with the phrase, this is it, and it ends with the phrase, that's it?
194
Well stick around to learn the difference between the two.
195
This is it.
196
Don't get scared now.
197
That's it!
198
This is it is an interesting expression you can use
199
when an expected or important moment has arrived and something significant is about to happen.
200
You're kind of preparing yourself for what's coming next.
201
Well, this is it.
202
This is it.
203
This is it.
204
This is it.
205
Fella is
206
short for fellow, meaning guy.
207
Little fella is a casual term for a young boy, often used in a playful or affectionate way.
208
There's a nice connected speech example in the next sentence.
209
Listen to it again.
210
We know that you're in there and that you're all alone.
211
That you're in there becomes that you're in there.
212
The combination of the letters T plus Y gives us a ch sound. That you're.
213
Repeat after me.
214
That you're in there.
215
And the same happens in that you're all alone.
216
Also, the R from your gets linked to all.
217
And the L from all is linked to the schwa sound from the word alone.
218
That you're all alone.
219
We know that you're in there and that you're all alone.
220
We know that you're in there and that you're all alone. By the way, Ksenia
221
and I did a recent lesson on a RealLife English channel
222
where we teach you some of the most common patterns of connected speech like this,
223
like this with artists like Dua Lipa and Eminem or shows like How I Met Your Mother.
224
So it's a lot of fun and mastering these can really help you to improve your speaking, sound a bit more native-like, and especially it will help you to better be able to understand a fast native speech.
225
Check that out by clicking the link down in the description below.
226
Yeah, come on kid, open up.
227
It's Santa Claus and his elf.
228
The burglars ask him to open up the door.
229
Why not simply say, open the door?
230
Well, both are correct.
231
Open up just emphasizes the action, making it sound urgent or persuasive.
232
In other contexts, the casual phrase open up may also sound more natural
233
and less like a direct order compared to open the door.
234
I've had enough of this.
235
I'm taking the next boat out of here.
236
Open up that door.
237
Open up, I wanna go home.
238
It's Santa Claus and his elf.
239
Santa Claus is another example of how they try to adapt their speech and sound friendlier.
240
Santa Claus is a playful variation of Santa, mimicking how young children might pronounce Santa.
241
Let's break down the connected speech in this sentence.
242
The NT letter combination loses the T, so it sounds like Sanne, not Santy.
243
The D is dropped in and, while the H sound is dropped in his, so they link together and we hear enes.
244
Finally, the Z sound from his gets linked to the next word, enesel.
245
Altogether, it's pronounced as Santa Claus and his elf.
246
Kevin's not gonna open the door.
247
Instead we see him coming out of the doggy door with his BB gun.
248
A BB gun is a type of air gun that shoots small round pellets called BBs.
249
These pellets are usually made of metal or plastic.
250
Even though it's not as dangerous as a real gun, a BB is still extremely painful to be shot with.
251
So Kevin shoots Harry's crotch and the booger screams in agony.
252
This part of the body between the legs is called the crotch.
253
Be a good little fella now and open the door!
254
AHHHHH!
255
SHOOT!
256
The exclamation, SHOOT! is an informal and mild expression of frustration, annoyance, disappointment, or surprise.
257
It is often used as a softer less offensive substitute for a vulgar curse word for example shoot.
258
I forgot my keys
259
Jerk is a mild insult in English meaning someone who is rude irritating or hard to deal with.
260
A little jerk his arm!
261
That's it!
262
That's it!
263
I'm calling him out of front, you're going out of basement!
264
Now do you remember the phrase, this is it, Kevin said while preparing to meet the burglars?
265
Here, Harry says, that's it.
266
What's the difference?
267
That's it means I've had enough, or I'm done with this.
268
You say it when you reach your limit and you can't take it anymore.
269
You are ready to take some action to stop it or change the course of events.
270
How would you feel about linoleum in the living room?
271
What?
272
Well, a lot of people have done it.
273
I'm almost sure I've seen it.
274
That's it.
275
That's it.
276
That's it!
277
I can't take it anymore!
278
You little jerk is armed!
279
That's it!
280
That's it!
281
I'm going around the front, you go down the basement!
282
Now a basement is the lowest level of a building, typically located partly or entirely below ground level.
283
In Home Alone, the basement is a cluttered area that Kevin was afraid of at the beginning of the movie, but later used to help set his traps.
284
Alright, now let's test everything that you've learned today by watching the scene a final time without subtitles
285
And I'm also gonna ask you some quiz questions to test your comprehension Hey Mark,
286
Mark, Mark, look at this I think we're getting scammed by a kindy gun.
287
If you are scammed, you are cheated or tricked by someone, accidentally hurt, given something for free.
288
He lives here.
289
Well, if the kid's there, the parent's got to be.
290
He's home alone.
291
You've got to be kidding.
292
You want to come back tonight?
293
Uh-huh.
294
Even with the kid here?
295
Uh-huh.
296
I don't think that's a good idea, Harry.
297
Hey, look.
298
That house is the only reason we started working this block in the first place.
299
Ever since I laid eyes on that house, I wanted it.
300
To work the block means to repair broken streets and buildings in the neighborhood, to focus on an area within a group of streets, to walk around the block for exercise or leisure.
301
This way it's dark then.
302
Yeah, kids are scared of the dark.
303
You're afraid of the dark too, Mon.
304
You know you are.
305
No I'm not.
306
You should do a lot.
307
Not, not, not.
308
You are so.
309
Mom, where are you?
310
over hearing happens in private.
311
Ah! Where are you?
312
How do we call the traps for the burglars that Kevin set up in his house?
313
Booby traps.
314
Merry Christmas little fella.
315
We know that you're in there and that you're all alone.
316
Yeah, come on kid, open up.
317
What?
318
What?
319
What do we call the part of the body between the legs?
320
Crotch.
321
Hello.
322
Ah!
323
Yes!
324
Yes!
325
The little jerk is armed!
326
That's it!
327
That's it!
328
I'm going around the front, you go down the basement!
329
Awesome job today guys!

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.
