Hey!

Ha-ha!

Ah!

Almost!

Ah!

Just a little further!

Ah!

Obsidacy!

Fine!

Okay!

Fine!

Who cares?

Dumb flower bridge!

Aww!

I don't know what I'd do if no one put up my photo!

Next?

Oh!

What happens if no one in the living world remembers you?

Well, in the movie Coco,

spirits can only cross the bridge to visit their relatives on Dia de los Muertos

if someone has put up their photo on an ofrenda, like this.

But what if they are forgotten,

and their photo isn't on any ofrenda?

In today's lesson, we'll learn a ton of advanced English vocabulary while seeing this guy,

actor, try to sneak past the border checkpoint and cross the bridge.

In these two clips we'll watch today,

there are some great expressions like zip right over and clean up your act.

Every single advanced word explained today is included in the deck

of flashcards we created especially for this lesson with Coco on our own app.

The special link below will get you straight to the lesson over there,

where you can continue watching and practice your vocabulary.

Go check it out!

Alright now let's watch the first scene with actor trying to fool the officer and cross the bridge.

Next!

Yes, it is I, Frida Kahlo.

Shall we skip this canon?

Among so many of your friends it'll just overwhelm your blinky thingy.

Well shoot, looks like no one put up your photo.

Oh, Frida.

Okay, when I said I was Frida,

just now, that was a lie.

And I apologize for doing that.

No photo on an offranda, no crossing the bridge.

You know what?

I'm just gonna zip right over.

You won't even know I'm gone!

Almost!

Just a little further!

Obsidation.

Fine, okay.

Fine, who cares?

Dumb flower bridge!

Serving the peace, fleeing an officer, falsifying a unibrow.

That's illegal?

Very illegal.

You need to clean up your act, amigo.

Amigo?

Oh, that's so nice to hear you say that

because I've just had a really hard beady muertos and I could really use an amigo right now.

And amigos, they help their amigos.

Okay, so just so we can understand the context of the movie,

you should know that in Mexican culture on Dia de los Muertos,

people set up ofrendas or altars in their homes,

decorating them with candles, food,

and most importantly, photos of their ancestors.

The belief is that on this special night,

the spirits of these relatives can return to visit their families.

But there is a rule,

they can only cross the flower bridge between the worlds if their photo is on an ofrenda.

Shall we skip the scanner?

Among so many ofrendas it'll just overwhelm your blinky thingy.

Well shoot, looks like no one put up your photo, Frida.

When Hector tries to trick the scanner by dressing up as this famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo,

He thinks that since she's so famous,

lots of people must have put up or placed her photo on their offenders.

In fact, he jokes that there are so many that the scanner might get confused.

He calls the machine a blinky thingy.

Blinky describes blinking or flashing lights,

and a thingy is just a funny way to say a thing

when you don't know or don't want to say the real name.

Check it out in this example.

Erase him!

Drop the bubble guns, or I will mess with this gravity thingy.

Well, shoot, looks like no one put up your photo.

Frida, no photo on an ofrenda, no crossing the bridge.

Shoot is a soft word for a more vulgar shit.

This scene is both funny and important to the story because it shows how important the ofrenda and family traditions are.

If no one remembers a person,

they can't visit, and eventually their memory fades away completely.

That's one of the big themes of the movie being remembered by your loved ones keeps your life in their hearts.

100

You know what?

101

I'm just gonna zip right over.

102

You won't even know I'm gone!

103

If you zip somewhere, it means you move or go there very quickly.

104

Just imagine how a zipper moves up and down on a jacket, fast and smooth.

105

Probably the head of police cars and ambulances just zipping all over the place.

106

Serving the peace, fleeing an officer, falsifying a unibrow.

107

That's illegal? very illegal.

108

Now we see actor at the police station getting in trouble for breaking the rules.

109

When he tried to run to the bridge without permission,

110

he was fleeing an officer.

111

To flee means to run away from a place,

112

usually because of danger, like when people flee their country during a war.

113

Sturbing the peace, fleeing an officer, falsifying a unibrow.

114

That's illegal?

115

Very illegal.

116

Remember actor dressed up as Frida?

117

Well, Frida was famous for her thick connected diapers,

118

which are often called a unibrow when they grow together.

119

So when actor was wearing a fake unibrow to disguise himself,

120

he was falsifying it.

121

To falsify means to fake something.

122

Quite funny that the officer is saying it's very illegal to falsify a unibrow.

123

This is my case against him.

124

Falsifying DNA tests, coerced confessions.

125

You need to clean up your act, amigo.

126

Amigo?

127

Oh, that's so nice to hear you say that because I've just had a really hard via the puertos.

128

If you need to clean up your act,

129

it means you need to start behaving better or more responsibly.

130

It's an informal phrase often used to give advice or warning,

131

like in this situation.

132

Come on, Dad, we've got a long way to go.

133

You can't stay mad at me the whole time.

134

Boy, if you were half as smart as you think you are,

135

you'd clean up your act.

136

Well, maybe pulling pranks is the only thing I'm good at.

137

At least you have something you're good at.

138

Now let's practice the advanced pronunciation we hear in this phrase.

139

You need to clean up your act, amigo.

140

Do you notice all the connected speech in it?

141

This is how natives cut,

142

reduce and link words in fast speech.

143

So the D sound from need morphs into the T sound from to,

144

making it sound like you need to.

145

Clean up also blend together.

146

The N sound links to the next vowel,

147

so it sounds like clean up.

148

And the R sound from your connects to the next vowel sound, your act.

149

Now, listen to the stress pattern.

150

The words you, clean and act are stressed,

151

meaning we pronounce them more clearly and strongly.

152

You need to clean up your act.

153

This rhythm, the mix of stressed and unstressed syllables,

154

is what gives English its natural melody.

155

Now listen again and repeat.

156

You need to clean up your act, amigo.

157

Now, before we move on to watch the second part of their conversation,

158

let me ask you.

159

Do you ever forget the words you learn right when you need them in a conversation?

160

Today, we're seeing several of these expressions,

161

so I'm talking about when you try to speak,

162

but these new words disappear and the conversation feels awkward.

163

Trust me, I know how that feels.

164

And that's exactly why we created the RealLife English app,

165

to help you remember vocabulary and speak more confidently.

172

which is free if it's your first one and I'll see you there!

173

Listen, you get me across that bridge tonight and I'll make it worth your while.

174

Oh, you like Vela Cruz?

175

He and I go way back!

176

I can get you front row seats to his Sunrise Spectacular show!

177

I'll get you backstage!

178

You can meet him!

179

You just gotta let me cross that bridge!

180

I should lock you up for the rest of the holiday.

181

But my shift's almost stopping.

182

I want to visit my living family.

183

So I'm letting you off with a warning.

184

Can I at least get my costume back?

185

Uh...

186

No. Ah!

187

Some amigo.

188

Actor desperately tries to bribe,

189

dishonestly persuade the officer with something valuable,

190

enough of it that makes it worth his while.

191

When something is worth your while,

192

it means you'll appreciate giving your time and attention to it.

193

If you're still willing to drive me to the train station,

194

I can make it worth your while.

195

Yeah, I'm in.

196

And no charge.

197

Consider it a freebie.

198

Why?

199

Because I wish I was going with you.

200

Hector sees the poster of Ernesto de la Cruz,

201

a famous artist, and promises the officer front row seats to his big show.

202

Let's listen to this part again.

203

Oh, you like de la Cruz?

204

He and I go way back.

205

I can get you front row seats to his sunrise spectacle.

206

What do you think the phrase,

207

he and I go way back, mean?

208

It means we have a long history together,

209

or in other words, we have known each other for a very long time.

210

This phrase is commonly used in English to talk about long-term relationships or friendships.

211

For example, Sarah and I go way back.

212

We've been friends since kindergarten.

213

Guys, this is Frankie from the health department.

214

We go way back.

215

If you're a fan attending a concert of a favorite artist,

216

you would want to have front row seats.

217

These are the best seats right in front of the stage.

218

And after the concert, you would probably love to go backstage

219

or the area behind the stage where the performers and crew are.

220

I should lock you up for the rest of the holiday,

221

but my shift's almost up and I want to visit my living family,

222

so I'm letting you off with a warning.

223

A shift is a period of working time.

224

When your shift is up,

225

it means your working hours are over.

226

Another common collocation with the word up in the meaning of being over is time's up,

227

meaning that time is over,

228

there is no more time.

229

Check out these examples.

230

Well, my shift is up.

231

Have a happy new year, Amy.

232

Thank you.

233

Okay, and...

234

Time's up!

235

Trading period is ended.

236

I should lock you up for the rest of the holiday,

237

but my shift's almost stopping.

238

I want to visit my living family,

239

so I'm letting you off with a warning.

240

The officer could punish Hector and lock him up,

241

but instead chooses to let him off with a warning.

242

This means not to punish him as severely as expected,

243

to let him go and just warn him not to do it again.

244

Good job today!

245

And now prepare for the test.

246

Let's watch the clip one last time,

247

this time without subtitles, and you will see just how much easier it is to understand everything they are saying.

248

This method works like magic.

249

To make it even more fun and engaging,

250

I've prepared some vocabulary quiz questions for you.

251

Let's go!

252

Next!

253

Yes, it is I, Frida Kahlo.

254

Shall we skip this counter?

255

I'm on so many ofrendas,

256

it'll just overwhelm your blinky thingy.

257

Well, shoot.

258

Looks like no one put up your photo, Frida.

259

Okay, when I said I was Frida,

260

just now, that was a lie.

261

And I apologize for doing that.

262

No photo on an ofrenda.

263

No crossing the bridge.

264

You know what?

265

I'm just gonna zip right over.

266

You won't even know I'm gone.

267

Almost there!

268

Just a little further!

270

Fine, okay.

271

Fine, who cares?

272

Dumb flower bridge!

273

Sturbing the peace, fleeing an officer, falsifying a unibrow...

274

That's illegal?

275

Very illegal!

276

Which of the following is a synonym to falsify?

277

Verify, fake, impersonate.

278

You need to clean up your act, amigo.

279

Amigo?

280

Oh, that's so nice to hear you say that

281

because I've just had a really hard via de puertos and I could really use an amigo right now.

282

And amigos, they help their amigos.

283

Listen, you get me across that bridge tonight and I'll make it worth your while.

284

If you need to clean up your act,

285

you're asked to clean up your face,

286

have official documents, or improve your behavior.

287

You get me across that bridge tonight and I'll make it worth your while.

288

Oh, you like Vela Cruz?

295

We go way back.

296

We know our way.

297

We're back on our way.

298

I should lock you up for the rest of the holiday,

299

but my shift's almost stopping.

300

I want to visit my living family,

301

so I'm letting you off with a warning.

302

Can I at least get my costume back?

303

Uh, no. Some amigo.

304

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
