शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Learn ENGLISH with ICE AGE - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Oh And

that pink thing is mine.

I know actually that pink thing belongs to us

oh yeah today we'll embark on a journey with one of

the most heartwarming animated films ever made ice age this classic

movie tells the story of three completely different characters many a

grumpy mammoth who just wants to be left alone seed a talkative sloth who's looking for friends

and diego a saber -toothed tiger with a secret plan

so what starts as a simple mission to return a lost human baby soon becomes an epic journey

that transforms these unlikely companions into a real family

and in this lesson we'll join them on their adventure by learning english with three key scenes

we'll go through a ton of advanced expressions

so i highly recommend you watch this lesson on our app to make sure you learn all the words

and never forget them.

I'll tell you more about it in a little bit.

For now, let's get started with the first scene.

I was returning him to his herd.

Oh yeah, nice try, Bucktooth.

You calling me a liar?

I didn't say that.

You were thinking it.

I don't like this cat.

He reads mine.

Name's Diego, friend.

Manfred, and I'm not your friend.

In our first scene, Manny and Cid have just discovered a human baby, whose mother tragically sacrificed herself, trying to protect him.

While Manny wants nothing to do with humans, and just wants to keep moving, Sid feels sorry for the baby and decides they should return him to his family.

So here we see Sid trying to climb up a steep wall to reach the human's campsite above.

That is, until Diego shows up.

An odd couple refers to two people who are very different from each other

but somehow end up together it could be referred to a romantic couple

or just friends think of classic old couples like shrek

and donkey or batman and robin who are totally opposite

but make a great team there is no us i see can't have one of your own

so you want to adopt of your own means something that belongs to you that it's yours for example You could say,

instead of borrowing my computer all the time, why don't you get one of your own?

Diego sees that Manny and Sid make an odd couple, so he's wondering, since they can't have a baby together of their own,

I mean, they're both males and from different species, they must want to adopt this human baby instead.

To adopt is to take someone else's child

and raise them as your own family member of course that's

not what's happening look i'm sorry to interrupt the snack

but we gotta go the baby please i was returning him to his herd when diego says the baby please

he means come on

or seriously it's like he's saying you really think i would

hurt a baby come on he's acting offended by the suggestion check out this other example of this expression being used.

A herd refers to a group of animals that live and travel together,

especially large animals like elephants and cattle.

It's funny that Diego refers to the group of humans as a herd.

Now, pay attention to the verb return here.

You probably know it already, but how often do you use it?

Many learners would just say give back, but.. it'd be important to use this expression for example

if you are returning a shirt to a store

because it didn't fit or returning a borrowed book to the library all right

so we already covered some great expressions today

but you know i have to be honest with you

if you don't review this vocabulary you might forget it pretty

quickly now is your goal here to be able to use

these words in your own conversations in english you know to go beyond just understanding what you hear

and finally working on your ability to speak if

so then in order for you to level up simply knowing

the words won't be enough you need to practice them

and we can help you with that we've created a set of flashcards for you

that is available for free in our app if you've never used them

and this is the best way to internalize forever all the key vocabulary from this lesson

so the magic is in the science and the technology behind it

because the app knows the exact words you've learned and just

when you're about to forget them it brings them back to you for review

and practice that easy

and you can use it for 10 15 minutes a day wherever you are

and you'll see how it'll help you start speaking english naturally

having all these words at the tip of your tongue

so click the link in the description below using your phone

to get the real life app right now i'm sure you'll love it

and we'll be waiting for you over there please i was

returning him to his herd oh yeah nice try bucktooth you calling me a liar bucktooth refers to fronties

that stick out It's not a very nice thing to call someone the way Sid did it.

But he meant to be funny, since Diego has large, prominent saber teeth.

Here, cat is slang for guy or person.

It's an old -fashioned, cool way to refer to someone, especially when you don't trust them.

See this other example.

Sammy Davis Jr.? What are you doing up here?

You're a cool cat, Donnie.

Okay.

But there's also a funny double meaning here.

Diego literally is a big cat, a saber -toothed tiger.

So when Diego turns to Manny and says, name's Diego, friend, obviously he was introducing himself.

But I'd say this is more of a casual, tough guy way to do it.

Sounds more direct and confident name is diego friend manford

and i'm not your friend fine manfred

if you're looking for the humans you're wasting your time they left this morning thanks for the advice now beat it

beat it

when said as a command means go away leave now it's

a direct somewhat rude way to tell someone to leave you

alone all right i'll help you bring it to its herd

but promise me that you'll leave me alone after

that okay okay deal hey what's your problem you are my problem

when someone says deal like this they're agreeing to the terms that were just discussed

i will help you but just to get rid of you deal

deal in this case cd agrees to leave many alone after they return the baby

100

so moving with the story

101

when they reach the humans campsite they discover it's empty the tribe has already moved on

102

and with no other choice they accept diego's offer to guide

103

them to the passage where the humans are heading now as

104

their journey begins the three unlikely companions start to bond in

105

unexpected ways seed always the optimist is especially excited about their adventure

106

so excited in fact that he can't help

107

but brag about his heroic baby rescue to some female sloths he encounters at a hot spring.

108

This is our next scene.

109

Let's check it out.

110

cute kid huh so so as i was saying ladies uh oh hey hi manny what's the matter with you

111

excuse me ladies you just keep marinating and i'll be right back

112

where'd you find it ah the poor kid all alone in the wild

113

when you say poor you or poor kid you're showing

114

that you feel sorry for this person because something bad happened to them.

115

Now, the collocation in the wild means in nature, away from civilization and safety, like wild animals live in the wild.

116

So Sid is making the story a bit more dramatic here.

117

Let's see how he describes the situation when he found the baby.

118

Snatch means to grab something quickly.

119

It's often used in the context of saving or stealing an object like

120

if you snatch your phone before it falls into the pool

121

oh hey hi manny what's the matter with you this is a common expression natives say

122

when feeling deeply bothered by someone

123

because of something they're doing it's like saying why are you acting this way what's the matter with you

124

excuse me ladies you just keep marinating

125

and i'll be right back marinating usually means soaking food in sauce to add flavor before cooking

126

but here sid is using it playfully to mean keep soaking in the mud hot spring he's trying to flirt

127

and be funny with the female sloths now as their journey continues many seed

128

and diego face many adventures together during one dangerous moment manny actually saves diego's life

129

and this act of friendship changes everything for him meanwhile diego feels torn between his loyalty to his pack

130

and his growing friendship with manny

131

and sid he knows he's leading his new friends into a trap

132

when they finally reach the location where diego's pack is waiting

133

to ambush them diego faces the ultimate choice in a dramatic

134

turn of events he turns against his own pack to protect many a fierce battle follows

135

and diego fights bravely

136

but his heroic act comes at a terrible cost he's left bravely wounded this is the third

137

and final clip let's watch it we were some team huh

138

were come on we're still a team i'm uh sorry I

139

set you up ah you know me I'm too lazy to

140

hold a grudge hey knock it off squirt you got to be strong you have to take care of Manfred

141

and Sid especially Sid come on you can lick this come

142

on we're still a team I'm sorry I set you up in this context

143

if someone sets you up that means they are tricking you

144

or putting you in a dangerous situation on purpose like in

145

this case diego was the one who initially planned this whole operation he lied to many

146

and seed to create the situation he set them up to be attacked by the tigers

147

but as we can hear he's actually apologizing for doing this

148

ah you know me i'm too lazy to hold grudge a grudge is a feeling of anger

149

or resentment that you keep for a long time against someone who hurt you sid is saying

150

that it's okay

151

that he's not going to be angry even though diego had

152

originally set them up to express this he uses this common collocation hold a grudge saying

153

that he's too lazy to hold a grudge

154

and that's a joke by the way you see sid is a sloth

155

and sloths are famously lazy

156

so he's saying he's too lazy to even put in the effort to stay mad at diego

157

hey knock it off squirt you gotta be strong squirt is

158

an affectionate nickname for someone small especially a little kid it's like calling someone little guy

159

so when diego says knock it off squirt he's asking the baby to stop crying.

160

To knock it off means simply that, stop it.

161

But the way Diego is saying it is rather cute here.

162

You should know that in other situations, this can be said in a more serious tone, even though it's informal language.

163

See this example.

164

Another way to say this would be cut it out.

165

this is getting creepy i've come for your soul cut it

166

out wait now did you notice the way diego actually pronounced

167

the phrase knock it off hey knock it off squirt this is how most natives

168

and fluent speakers say it including me it's really natural for us to use connected speech

169

when pronouncing phrasal verbs like this you just need to link the three words together and here

170

because of the american accent the t from it also changes to a d sound knock it off

171

and yeah the same thing happens in the phrase cut it

172

out not cut it out cut it out now i want

173

to hear you try to repeat after diego hey knock it off squirt knock it off squirt

174

you have to take care of Manfred

175

and Sid especially Sid come on you can lick this here

176

Sid is making a playful joke about Diego being a cat cats lick themselves to heal their wounds

177

and stay clean

178

so he's basically saying you're a cat you can lick yourself better it's Sid's silly way of encouraging Diego

179

so even though Diego is badly wounded he knows they can't wait

180

they have to catch the humans before they go through the pass

181

or they will never be able to return the baby

182

so diego tells them to leave him behind and go listen you have to leave me here

183

in a heartbreaking but beautiful scene manny

184

and sid successfully reunite the baby with his father just in time

185

but the story has one more surprise in store just

186

when they think they've lost their friend forever diego appears having survived his injuries come on let's head south

187

that look in many's eyes i don't know about you guys

188

but i always end up crying

189

when i watch this scene i just can't hold back my tears

190

but the lesson isn't over yet now we'll actually do the most important step, the test.

191

We'll check your listening comprehension by watching the three clips again, this time without subtitles, and I'll also ask you some quiz questions.

192

Are you ready?

193

Let's go!

194

Um, that pink thing is mine.

195

Uh, no, actually that pink thing belongs to us.

196

Us?

197

You two are a bit of an odd couple.

198

What does odd couple mean?

199

A romantic couple?

200

Two very different people who end up together?

201

Or a couple having problems?

202

to you calling me a liar i didn't say

203

that you were thinking it i don't like this cat she reads my name is diego friend manfred

204

and i'm not your friend where'd you find it ah the

205

poor kid all alone in the wild neighbors were closing in on him so i just snatched him

206

what a snatch to emphasize in sid's story he carefully rescued

207

the baby he quickly grabbed the baby he found the baby alone

208

so free yeah well he needed me and i only wish i had one of my own

209

cute kid huh so so as i was saying ladies uh oh hey hi manny what's the matter with you

210

excuse me ladies you just keep marinating and i'll be right back

211

we were some team huh were come on we're still a team i'm uh sorry i set you up

212

ah you know me i'm too lazy to hold a grudge

213

if you hold a grudge you forget what happened help someone in need

214

or you stay angry at someone for a long time

215

221

You calling me a liar?
I don't like this cat.
Manfred, and I'm not your friend.
What are you doing up here?

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण

वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:

संरचना	वीडियो में
Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है	have just discovered · we've created · you've learned
Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है	be left · could be referred · were just discussed
Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी	people who are · one who initially · someone who hurt

ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण

वक्ता 69 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे I'm, don't, I'll। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।

“th” की ध्वनियाँ: sloth /slɔθ/, tooth /tuθ/, mammoth /ˈmæməθ/
“sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: collocation /ˌkɑ.ləˈkeɪ.ʃən/, affectionate /əˈfɛkʃənət/, flashcard /ˈflæʃˌkɑɹd/, ambush /ˈæm.bʊʃ/, comprehension /ˌkɑmpɹɪˈhɛnʃn̩/
लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: collocation /ˌkɑ.ləˈkeɪ.ʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, affectionate /əˈfɛkʃənət/, internalize /ɪnˈtɝnəlaɪz/, utopia /juˈtoʊ.pi.ə/

हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:

/v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: squirt /skwɝt/, bravely /ˈbɹeɪvli/, verb /vɝb/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, talkative /ˈtɔ.kə.ɾɪv/
/z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: internalize /ɪnˈtɝnəlaɪz/, phrasal /ˈfɹeɪzəl/, resentment /ɹɪˈzɛnt.mənt/, emphasize /ˈɛm.fə.saɪz/, quiz /kwɪz/
शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: squirt /skwɝt/, sloth /slɔθ/, snatch /snæt͡ʃ/, snack /snæk/, steep /stiːp/

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें

पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर grudge, sloth, snatch जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।

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।
