Hey, Vegeta!

You up for a quick spar?

Hmph.

As you wish.

I'll look now, but Vegeta and Goku are fighting again.

Okay, I won't look.

Ah yeah!

I'm Ethan, your real-life English fluency coach,

and today we're learning English with Dragon Ball Daima.

This is the newest series in the Dragon Ball Saga and you can watch it on Netflix.

In it, to neutralize the threat of Goku and his friends,

the evil demon king Goma uses the Dragon Balls to turn them into children.

And I am pumped to teach you with this!

Dragon Ball was actually really important for me to learn Catalan.

I watched every episode of Dragon Ball and DVZ at least twice.

I just couldn't get enough.

The scene we're learning with today where Goku meets the demon Glorio is absolutely packed with advanced everyday expressions.

And if you want to be able to confidently use these expressions next time you get into a conversation in English,

the easiest way is with the magic flashcards on our real-life app.

These use a scientific method that bring back words for study right when you're about to forget them.

That means that you will remember them forever.

So don't just learn with this lesson with Dragon Ball,

experience it on the real-life app.

Hey there, who are you?

My name is Glorio.

So you're from the Demon Realm too?

Yeah, that's right.

And you, you're Goku, aren't you?

Yep, that's me.

I have a request.

Come back with me to the Demon Realm.

We need your help to defeat King Goma.

So, right off the bat, we hear Glorio apologize.

Sorry for the fuss.

If you cause a fuss, you're creating unnecessary trouble.

Glorio is saying sorry for any inconvenience he has caused.

Like how at the start of Home Alone,

all the extra family visiting the Macalester house causes a lot of fuss.

Listen to this other example from Wish Dragon.

Sorry about all the fuss.

My dad insists on only the best.

So you're from the demon realm too.

A realm is a kingdom or territory.

In Dragon Ball, the demon realm is literally another dimension.

But you might also hear someone say,

that's outside my realm of expertise,

meaning it's not an area they have knowledge of.

Moving on, I bet you get frustrated when natives speak fast and you can't understand them, right?

Well, this usually has nothing to do with speed.

Actually, it's because of connected speech that you didn't learn in school.

That's how we natives cut,

reduce, and link our words together in fluent speech.

Let's check out an example.

Hence you.

You're Goku, aren't you?

Connective speech is super common in questions like this.

Here, when a word ending in a T is followed by you,

it usually morphs into a CHU.

So not aren't you, but aren't you?

Your speaking will only improve with lots of practice,

so listen to Gloria again and try to say that just like him.

you.

You're Goku aren't you? And you.

You're Goku aren't you?

Let's also talk about some grammar.

Notice how Glorio ends his question. And you.

You're Goku aren't you?

This is called a question tag.

We use these short questions at the end of statements to confirm information or get agreement.

The pattern is simple.

Positive statements get a negative tag.

You're Goku, aren't you?

Negative statements get a positive tag.

You don't know him, do you?

Let's look at some more examples.

And listen closely if you can hear the connected speech I use.

She's a great fighter, isn't she?

They can't fly, can they?

We've met before, haven't we?

So try using question tags yourself.

They make you sound more natural and conversational in English.

We need your help to defeat King Goma.

To defeat someone means to win against them in a battle or a competition.

And in Dragon Ball, defeating villains usually involves a lot of energy blasts and epic transformations.

I'm pretty scared.

You can defeat him, Panda.

If you want to sound more informal,

you could use the word beat.

Glorio wants Goku's help to beat Kingoma.

Or like in this example from Cars.

Kid.

You can beat these guys.

Find the groove that works for you and get that lap back.

By the way, we've split today's lesson into three parts.

Great job at learning all those advanced expressions in this first part.

Now you'll do the most important step.

You will test your comprehension by watching that clip again without subtitles.

We'll do this for each part and I've also prepared some quiz questions to give you an extra challenge.

100

All right, let's jump into your first test.

101

Sorry for the fuss.

102

Hey there, who are you?

103

My name is Gloria.

104

So you're from the Demon Realm too?

105

Yeah, that's right. And you...

106

You're Goku, aren't you?

107

Yep, that's me.

108

I have a request.

109

Come back with me to the Demon Realm.

110

We need your help to defeat King Goma.

111

I can't remember her name.

112

Oh, you know, what's her name? name.

113

The woman from the meeting yesterday.

114

And listen to the next part to the funny expression that Goku used. and incredibly crafty.

115

Yeah.

116

So we know who we're fighting now.

117

Alright, I'm in.

118

Let's go rescue Dende.

119

Hold on a second, Goku.

120

But I've never heard of this king whatever his name was, mister.

121

When natives can't remember someone's name,

122

they often say, what's his name?

123

Or what's her name?

124

Goku used whatever here, but it works the same.

125

Listen to these other examples.

126

You know what she said to me tonight?

127

She said she finished in Santa Fe after two days and has been staying with whatever his name was.

128

You!

129

Whatever your name is, can you stop stalking me with chairs?

130

So go, go, be engaged,

131

get married to Nijinsky or whatever her name is,

132

have a nice life, don't worry about me, I'm fine.

133

He's our new supreme demon king,

134

an evil Majin who took the throne after Deborah's death.

135

When someone takes the throne,

136

they become the ruler, either by force or through succession.

137

Think about how in Game of Thrones,

138

multiple characters fight to take the Iron Throne.

139

You can also use this metaphorically.

140

Like when Lebron James joined the Lakers,

141

some people said he was taking the throne in Los Angeles basketball.

142

Alright, this next line was full of advanced expressions.

143

Listen again.

144

Now it's starting to come together.

145

Mr. Popo told us that Dende was abducted by a short, self-important man.

146

That was Goma.

147

First, what do you think it's starting to come together means?

148

Everything is falling apart, things are beginning to make sense,

149

people are gathering in one place.

150

Right, this is a great phrase for when pieces of a puzzle start making sense.

151

See this in action.

152

Mm-hmm.

153

It's all coming together now.

154

So earlier in the episode,

155

after using the Dragon Balls,

156

Goma took Goku's friend Dende back to the Demon Realm with him.

157

Mr. Popo was there to witness it,

158

and he gave this description of Goma.

159

Mr. Popo told us that Dende was abducted by a short, self-important man.

160

That.. was Goma.

161

To be abducted means to be taken away by force.

162

This is a more formal, serious word than kidnapped.

163

When aliens take someone in movies,

164

we say they've been abducted.

165

Now, calling someone self-important is not a compliment.

166

Describe someone who thinks they're more valuable than they actually are.

167

They act superior and expect special treatment.

168

Check out these other essential expressions they use to describe Goma.

169

I'm not sure we can't afford to take lightly.

170

Very powerful. And incredibly crafty.

171

When you can't afford to take something lightly,

172

you must treat it seriously,

173

because the consequences could be dangerous.

174

For example, we can't afford to take climate change lightly.

175

If we don't do something about it,

176

the human race will have big problems.

177

Listen to this example.

178

And it's a responsibility I do not take lightly.

179

I promise you a future that is safe, sound, and stable.

180

Someone who's crafty is smart in a tricky, strategic way.

181

They use intelligence to get what they want, often through deception.

182

Think of Loki from the Marvel Universe.

183

He's the definition of crafty.

184

Here's another example.

185

You were looking the other way.

186

Yeah, I saw you reflected in the glass of the bookcase.

187

You crafty man.

188

All right, I'm in.

189

Let's go rescue Dende.

190

Hold on a second, Goku.

191

Perfect.

192

This is a super casual common response.

193

When you say I'm in,

194

you're agreeing to participate in a plan.

195

Like if your friend says,

196

we're going to see the new Pixar movie tonight.

197

Want to come?

198

You might respond, I'm so in.

199

Check out these examples.

200

This is Mr. Incredible.

201

I'm in.

202

Okay, I'm in.

203

No, Marty.

204

You can't come with me.

205

I don't believe you have a choice.

206

And before we move on,

207

let's analyze another instance of connected speech that we heard.

208

Hold on a second, Goku!

209

So this almost sounded like just one word.

210

Hold on just means wait,

211

and instead of saying it like hold on,

212

we say a fluent hold on.

213

The article A usually reduces to just a schwa sound,

214

uh, uh, and connects to on.

215

Anna.

216

Anna.

217

Let's put it all together.

218

Hold on a second.

219

Hold on a second.

220

Now you try.

221

Listen to Shin again and try to say it just like him.

222

One day was abducted by a short self-important man.

223

That.. was Goma.

224

Who is he exactly?

225

A Majin we can't afford to take lightly.

226

Very powerful. And incredibly crafty.

227

Yeah.

228

If someone describes a villain as crafty,

229

they mean the villain is physically strong and powerful,

230

clever and tricky, loud and aggressive.

231

So we know who we're fighting now.

232

Alright, I'm in, let's go rescue Dende.

233

Hold on a second, Goku.

234

Alright, you're doing great so far.

235

Now let's watch the conclusion of the scene.

236

If you just arrived here from the Demon Realm,

237

then how did you know who he was?

238

I heard from the King of the Third Demon World.

239

When you fought Majin Buu,

240

he saw the whole thing through his magic monitor.

241

He sent me to recruit Goku once Goma took over.

242

And can we take that to mean that you served the king of the third demon world?

243

I don't.

244

We had no involvement before I got this job and officially I'm not here.

245

So we see that Shin is a bit suspicious of Glorio,

246

and uses some connected speech that we can break down.

247

If you just arrived here from the demon realm,

248

then how did you know who he was?

249

Earlier, we saw that a T plus U often becomes Chu.

250

A D plus U often morphs into Ju.

251

So, instead of how did you know,

252

Shin said, how did you know?

253

How did you know?

254

Listen again and repeat.

255

How did you know who he was?

256

How did you know who he was?

257

Now, Glorio used a ton of advanced English in this phrase.

258

When you fought Majin Buu,

259

he saw the whole thing through his magic monitor.

260

You sent me to recruit Goku once Goma took over.

261

This is a monitor.

262

Maybe you're watching this lesson on your computer monitor.

263

Or you have a friend who is a gamer and uses multiple monitors at the same time.

264

To recruit someone means to enlist or hire them for a specific purpose.

265

For example, companies recruit new employees,

266

sports teams recruit players, and apparently Demon Realm Kings recruit legendary fighters.

267

For example, Nick Fury was responsible for recruiting various superheroes to the Avengers.

268

And what do you think it means that Goma took over?

269

He sent me to recruit Goku once Goma took over.

270

He reviewed something carefully.

271

He gave control of the demon realm to someone else.

272

He took control of the demon realm.

273

Exactly!

274

It's about gaining control, usually aggressively.

275

You might also hear this in business,

276

like Amazon is taking over the retail industry.

277

By the way, can I ask you a quick favor?

278

We depend on your feedback to make lessons that you'll enjoy and they'll help you to speak English confidently and fluently.

279

So take just a moment to pause the lesson and comment one series,

280

movie, or celebrity that you would love for us to make a lesson with.

281

The RealLife team and I read every comment.

282

And can we take that to mean that you served the king of the third demon world?

283

I don't.

284

We had no involvement before I got this job and officially I'm not here.

285

What Qin says here means that you understand information in a specific way.

286

You're inferring information based on what was said.

287

Like how I take that you're watching this lesson because you're bored of traditional learning methods.

288

Here's another example.

289

Whose work is this?

290

Tell us.

291

What do you take it to me?

292

However, we can understand that Glorio's relationship with the king of the third demon world is a secret.

293

That's why he responds.

294

We had no involvement before I got this job and officially I'm not here.

295

To have no involvement means that you are not connected to or participating in something.

296

If you just arrived here from the demon realm,

297

then how did you know who he was?

298

I heard from the King of the Third Demon World.

299

When you fought Majin Buu,

300

he saw the whole thing through his magic monitor.

301

He sent me to recruit Goku once Goma took over.

302

And can we take that to mean that you served the King of the Third Demon World?

303

I don't.

304

We had no involvement before I got this job and officially I'm not here.

305

Match each expression with its definition.

306

I hope you guys really enjoyed today's lesson with Dragon Ball as much as I enjoyed teaching you with it.

307

I absolutely love this series.

308

And if you are new here and you want to understand fast speaking natives without getting lost,

309

without missing the jokes, and without subtitles,

310

just like you've done today,

311

all you have to do is hit that subscribe button

312

and the bell down below and that way you won't miss a single new lesson.

313

10 million learners are already learning with us so you know it really works.

314

And if you really want to take your learning to the next level the best way to do

315

that is by learning with these lessons on the RealLife English app

316

which you can download for free with the link down in the description.

317

And if you're not done learning yet then you might want to check out this lesson next.

318

That's right today we're learning English with Netflix's newest hit movie K-pop Demon Hunters.

319

Now it's all about a K-pop band called Huntrix,

320

kind of like Blackpink, and they have to use their music to protect the Hanmoon,

321

a protective barrier that keeps demons from coming on the earth and stealing human souls.

322

Now I know it might sound silly if you haven't seen it yet,

323

but I laughed a ton so I highly recommend it.
