Series for kids like

Dragon Ball are great because it's what the natives grew up watching.

I actually noticed a huge improvement in my Catalan

when I watched the Catalan version of all of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.

Plus I had a lot of fun.

And you can do the same for your English.

Today we will make it easy for you.

So you'll watch some clips with subtitles, then we'll teach you all of the most important vocabulary,

pronunciation, and cultural context before you test everything you learned by watching a final time without subtitles, and answer some quiz questions.

Plus, we have this free PDF and MP3 lesson that you can download to take your learning to the next level.

I'll tell you more about that later.

For now, let's watch Goku transform into a super science.

What is this?

What has this Saiyan become?

I thought his kind could only transform into great apes.

But this is no great ape.

Move as fast as you can.

If Piccolo dies, then Kami dies too.

And I don't think I need to remind you what that would mean.

What are you trying to say?

I'm saying leave without me.

Get back to Earth and I'll be there when I can.

But if we take your spaceship, then how are you supposed to get home, Dad?

You'll be stuck here.

I'm your father.

Don't talk back.

I just need you to do what I say.

I'll see you at home.

What is this?

What has this Saiyan become?

In the Dragon Ball series, Goku is a Saiyan, a human -like race from another planet.

In this scene, Goku has just transformed himself into a Super Saiyan for the first time.

That was a complete surprise to Frieza, the villain who's fighting Goku, as he goes on to ask, What has this Saiyan become?

If someone becomes something else that means they changed or evolved into something else

For example science become great apes if they see the full moon

But the boy had an angry violent nature then one day there was a terrible accident

The child fell into a deep ravine and hit his head the injury was nearly fatal, but somehow Miraculously the boy survived

What's more, after that, he was no longer violent.

From that day on, he became a happy, loving boy.

I thought his kind could only transform into great apes.

An ape is a large primate, similar to a monkey, but that lacks a tail, including gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans.

In the Dragon Ball universe, a scion who sees the full moon will transform into a gigantic gorilla -like creature called a great ape.

When that happens, they lose control of themselves and become incredibly aggressive.

In this context, the word kind refers to a group with similar characteristics or a particular type.

Example.

I've never seen dogs of this kind.

They are really strange.

This new technology will benefit all mankind.

What does woman mean?

You know, a female, a girl.

There are two kinds of Namekians, right?

Your mother is a girl and your father is a boy.

Two kinds of...

That's weird.

Wow, it sounds like they really only have one gender here.

How boring is that?

In the scene, Frieza is saying kind to refer to the science.

I thought his kind could only transform into great apes.

But this is no great ape!

The no construct can be more impactful or even sound more comical

if we would use it to deliver the punchline of a joke.

Compare these two examples.

I don't think you'll join the basketball team.

You're not a tall player.

A gentleman is supposed to offer his seat to older people, but Mike is no gentleman.

Notice that NOT requires an article, NOT a tall player.

But when we use NO in this way, we should NOT use an article.

No gentleman.

If you ask somebody to do something as fast as they can,

you are asking them to do it in the fastest way that is possible for them to do it.

So Goku is asking Gohan to get away from there in the fastest way he can.

It's similar to another common expression, as soon as possible, which means at the earliest possible moment.

Now, do you know what the collocation as adjective as means exactly?

This is a simple way to make a comparison between two things

when the things we are comparing are equal in some way

Example she's as tall as her brother.

He is as quick as a cat

Alright listen up.

I'll explain this once imagine someone as strong as I've become since our first meeting wait

No, no someone even stronger

Also, we can use not as plus adjective plus as to make comparisons between things which are not equal.

This is not as heavy as I imagined.

They did not play as well as they usually do.

Either you aren't quite as powerful as we were led to believe, or perhaps, we're stronger than your precious calculations accounted for.

By the way, did you notice how Goku connects the words move and as as if they were just one word?

Listen to it again.

This happens for two reasons.

First, the word move ends in what we call a silent E.

In fact, in English, most words ending with the letter E have it as a silent E.

Example, care, made, late.

Second, because of something called connected speech.

In English, we often link the sound of different words that come together, as you can hear here with the word move and as.

Move as fast as you can.

Check out these other examples.

you guys.

So would you like any desserts?

No!

No dessert, just the check.

Hey are you ready to confidently understand native speakers?

100

Well we're passionate about helping you to do it

101

104

Friends which various studies have shown is the best series out there for learning English.

105

You can try that for free right now with our three -part mini course

106

109

We look forward to seeing you inside.

110

As you might have noticed, the characters in Dragon Ball Z have names

111

which are probably different from the names you heard while watching the series in your native language.

112

This is Piccolo and this is Kami.

113

To remind is to make someone think of something they have forgotten.

114

Could you remind Paul about dinner on Saturday?

115

Please remind me to send this letter.

116

So Goku says this because if Piccolo dies, Kami also dies, and if Kami dies, the Dragon Balls are destroyed.

117

So he tells Gohan that he will not remind him

118

and explain what he's talking about since Gohan knows of that fact about Piccolo pretty well.

119

Now a common mistake that happens to many English learners is confusing the verbs to remind and to remember.

120

It is incorrect to say, for example, remember me to buy milk tomorrow morning.

121

As we just saw, if you want to referred to causing someone to remember about something, you should say to remind.

122

So to make that sentence correct, you should say, remind me to buy milk tomorrow morning.

123

To remember simply means to have a specific memory.

124

For example, did you remember to buy milk when you went to the store this morning?

125

Here are some more examples from Dragon Ball.

126

Long ago when this planet was in crisis one of your people journeyed across the stars and came to our world

127

For whatever reason he created the Dragon Balls for us.

128

Oh yes I remember now a gifted child a genius

129

So here at Learners With TV series, every single week we help learners to understand fast -speaking natives without getting lost,

130

without missing the jokes, and without subtitles.

131

For example, Emmanuel said that since he's been watching our videos, he has greatly increased his English vocabulary.

132

So if you want to do that and more,

133

134

This is just another way of asking for clarification, the same way you can do with the question

135

What do you mean?

136

This question might be pretty challenging for you to comprehend without the subtitles.

137

That's because here we can notice a few extremely common uses of connected speech.

138

Let's break it down because it will help your comprehension of natives a lot.

139

In American English, when we have a T sound between two vowels, it becomes a tap T sound,

140

which sounds similar to a D or the R sound in Latin languages like Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.

141

For example, I will say each of these words twice, once with a normal T sound and once with the American tap T sound.

142

Furthermore, this can happen if a word ends in a T sound

143

and the following word begins with a vowel sound because of connected speech.

144

Saying what are is so common that sometimes we shorten it to just what a.

145

What are you doing this weekend?

146

What are you doing this weekend?

147

Gohan also shortens you to ya, which is very common in American English.

148

So, let's listen to that whole phrase again, and you can practice saying it just like Gohan.

149

And finally, to give you some more examples and boost your English fluency, let's look at more examples of connected speech with Wadia.

150

But if we take your spaceship, then how are you supposed to get home, Dad?

151

You'll be stuck here!

152

A spaceship is a vehicle used for travel in space.

153

Supposed to, as used in this sentence, is the same as to be expected to.

154

In other words, Gohan was saying how are you expecting to get home, since he was going to take Goku's spaceship.

155

To be stuck is to be unable to move or get out of a particular place.

156

Gohan means that Goku will be unable to get out of the planet Namiq if they take his spaceship with them.

157

But if we take your spaceship, then how are you supposed to get home, Dad?

158

You'll be stuck here!

159

I'm your father!

160

Don't talk back!

161

I just need you to do what I say!

162

To talk back literally means to give somebody a response.

163

Now, figuratively, if you talk back to someone in authority, such as a parent or teacher, you answer them in a rude or disrespectful way.

164

So here, Gohan is talking back to his father because he's questioning him instead of following his orders.

165

Dad, you're the greatest.

166

Thank you.

167

Everything.

168

I'll be waiting.

169

I know you'll find a way to get back home again.

170

Safe and sound.

171

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
