Ah yeah!
2
I'm back with another lesson with Disney movies,
3
this time with scenes from the classic Frozen and the new just released Frozen 2.
4
This will be a great opportunity for you to get all warmed up for it
5
and to learn some specific vocabulary related to the weather, the seasons and even poetry.
6
And if you're new here, every week we help you to understand fast-speaking natives without without getting lost, without missing the jokes, and without subtitles.
7
Just like Arsh who says that we helped him to pass his recent English exam
8
and will help you to reach your English learning goals too.

and the bell down below so you don't miss any of our new lessons.
11
Finally, I've got a very special opportunity to tell you about in just a little bit, but for now, let's jump into this fun and entertaining lesson with Frozen.
12
Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.
13
Really?
14
I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat.
15
Nope.
16
But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come.
17
Um...
18
Bees the buzz, kids a-blow dandelion fuzz, And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer.
19
I drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand, Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer.
20
I'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm, And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm.
21
And I can't wait to see what my buddies all think of me.
22
Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer.
23
The hot and the cold are both so intense, put them together it just makes sense.
24
Rrrra da da da da da da da da da da da da Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a...
25
Happy snowman!
26
When life gets rough I like to hold on to my dream Of relaxing in the summer sun,
27
just letting off steam Oh the sky will be blue,
28
and you guys will be there too When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!
29
I'm gonna tell him.
30
Don't you dare. In summer!
31
Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.
32
As you probably know, in the Frozen movies, Olaf is a magical snowman that moves and talks like a real person.
33
In this scene, which is the first appearance of Olaf, we learn that even though he's a snowman, he loves the idea of summer.
34
If you like or love the idea of something, that means you imagine that you would like it, but you have not actually experienced it.
35
I love the idea of living in Paris, sitting in a cafe every morning with a coffee and a croissant.
36
So what's funny here is that because Olaf has never experienced warm weather in his life, he doesn't understand that snow and ice melt in summer.
37
That is, they become liquid.
38
Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.
39
The phrase, all things something, means everything related to something.
40
Example, this guy consumes all things baseball.
41
He's really obsessed with it.
42
So in this sentence, all things baseball means everything related to baseball.
43
I love the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.
44
In this line, Olaf says that he likes everything that is hot or related to being hot.
45
But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it would be like when summer does come.
46
As you know, the verb do is used as an auxiliary verb
47
when we want to make questions and negative statements such as, do you like it? and I do not like it.
48
So they are not normally used in affirmative sentences.
49
However, we can use them for emotive emphasis when we feel strongly about something.
50
Example, he thinks I don't love him but I do love him.
51
I really do.
52
Prophecy Pity So wait wait,
53
I think I do see something yes, I do something dark you are in grave danger
54
Specifically in the case of what Olaf says in the song
55
well the verb does adds emphasis it could also be replaced
56
by a word such as finally being I like to close my eyes
57
and imagine what it'll be like when summer finally comes Father,
58
I hate being forced into this if I do marry I want it to be for love Jasmine
59
Bees the buzz kids a blow Dan the lion fuzz a
60
bee is the insect scene here in this context To buzz
61
is to make a continuous low volume sound like insects do when flying.
62
To blow is to create a flow of air.
63
For example, people blow candles out on birthday cakes.
64
A fuzz is a fluffy mass of hair or fiber like this ball.
65
A dandelion is a type of flower.
66
The seeds of a dandelion are easily thrown into the wind if you blow them.
67
In fact, we believe that you can make a wish and blow the dandelion and it may come true.
68
So here, Olaf is describing summer and mentioning things he thinks he will enjoy or find beautiful.
69
The sound of bees buzzing and kids blowing dandelions.
70
In this context, to be up against something is to be putting your weight on it.
71
Example, he has his back up against the wall.
72
Olaf is talking about lying on and touching the sand, like people do on the beach.
73
and probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer.
74
Tan is a light brown color.
75
It can also be both a verb and a noun, referring to skin becoming bronze in the sun.
76
Look how tan she is.
77
She got a nice tan during her trip to Mexico.
78
Gorgeous means beautiful or extremely attractive.
79
Gorgeously is the same as beautifully or in a beautiful way.
80
So you can learn a ton by doing the things you love, like watching series like Friends and movies like Frozen, but is it enough?
81
Well, in my experience learning six different languages, I have always found that native media and keeping it fun are essential parts of the process.
82
But sooner or later, I would always get stuck and this made me lack confidence because I knew I was making mistakes,
83
but I didn't really know what I needed to focus on learning to correct them.
84
And my friends weren't corrected me and they didn't really know either how to explain the grammar to me.
85
So at some point just music, books and series aren't enough.
86
You need the guidance of a teacher.
87
So for me having the guidance of a professional who has
88
tons of experience helping people who are having the same learning challenges is essential
89
and that's why I'm excited to present a great new opportunity from our friends over at Lingoda.
90
They are going to help you to improve your speaking skills
91
and your confidence quickly in just a matter of months
92
And the great part about this promotion is that
93

94
so I've tried Lingoda and it is fantastic
95

96
and they give you all of the materials you need
97
So you know exactly what you need to focus on
98

100
You can see some of their inspiring stories on Lingoda's website by clicking the link down below
101
and definitely check out their Instagram as well.
102
So what exactly is this promotion?
103
So Lingoda has a motivating study challenge called the sprint and this is really fantastic because it gets you committed to learning.
104
As both a coach and a language learner myself,
105
I know that having this accountability is absolutely crucial because otherwise it's too easy to skip when you're tired or busy.
106
And with the Super Sprint, you will be showing up every single day and you're going to make huge progress on your learning
107
unless you do the Sprint in which you do slightly less classes.
108
Now, when you complete all the classes in the Super Sprint, you will be getting a 100% refund and if you complete the sprint you'll get a 50% refund.
109
It's open to all levels whether you're a beginner, an intermediate or advanced and the sprint begins on January 7th 2020 and ends on April 5th.
110
Alright so in order to participate you have to sign up before December 19th.
111
After paying your 49 euro non-refundable deposit fee
112
which holds your spot you will automatically be signed up for a three month subscription.
113
But don't worry, this deposit goes towards paying your first month of classes.
114
And remember that Lingoda will refund 100% of your tuition fee if you complete the agreed number of classes.
115
There's no trick or catch here.
116
But be sure to read all of the terms
117
and conditions as students say that this is the key to success in the Sprint.
118
And to make it even better for you, we have a special discount code for you.
119
Just click the link down in the description box below
120
and use our code to get 10 euros off of your entry fee.
121
Now if you already have good habits learning English with TV series and other native media, then I think Lingoda Sprint could be a really awesome opportunity for you.
122
Just imagine if in three months you could confidently converse with a native, or get an exciting new job, or move to another country,
123
and you could do it all for free by completing Lingoda's Sprint.
124
Best of luck to all of you that participate in the Sprint, and now let's get back to this lesson with Frozen.
125
A breeze is a light, cool wind. For example, one of the nicest things about being at the beach on
126
a hot summer day is feeling the gentle breeze off the water.
127
And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm.
128
Solid water refers to ice or snow.
129
As everyone but Olaf knows, when ice or snow get warm, they become water.
130
If you say that you can't wait for something or to do something, that means you are very excited about it or anxious to do or experience it.
131
Example, I can't wait to see you.
132
I know I miss you too.
133
I can't wait to see you.
134
I love you.
135
Bye.
136
So I'll come by in a couple hours and pick you up?
137
Alright, I can't wait.
138
Okay, don't worry.
139
I'm not gonna just take you out for donuts.
140
No!
141
Hahaha!
142
Buddy is an informal way to refer to a close friend.
143
Oh man!
144
I can't believe I locked myself out again!
145
Hang on, buddy!
146
Which of these other words are also colloquially used to refer to a friend?
147
Pal, mate, bro.
148
Did you say A, B, or C?
149
In fact, all of them are correct ways to refer to a friend.
150
Hey, hey, hey, hey, Mowgli, my friend, my buddy, my pal.
151
Slow down a second.
152
Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer.
153
Cool is an adjective that has two different meanings.
154
When collocated with people, it refers to somebody who is being calm and in control.
155
As Olaf used it here, it can also serve as slang for fun, impressive, or in style.
156
Example, you like Sam, he's a very cool guy.
157
When referring to temperature, cool means slightly cold, that is just a little cold, normally in a way that is nice and pleasant.
158
So here Olaf says this meaning he thinks he will be more in style and impressive to his friends in the summer.
159
But the joke is that you could also interpret it with irony, as he would actually melt for getting warmer, not cooler.
160
The hot and the cold are both so intense, put them together, it just makes sense!
161
Put um is a contraction of put them.
162
It's very common to reduce them to just um, which changes the pronunciation of it, actually making it a lot easier.
163
When this happens, natives will almost always connect the verb with um as if they were one single continuous sound.
164
I'll help them clean the room.
165
I'll help them clean the room.
166
Be careful, the correct pronunciation is um, not aim.
167
What's more, when a T is between two vowel sounds in American English, it sounds like a D in words like hiding or metal.
168
Take these for example. That is easy.
169
That is easy.
170
Just put some, uh, honey on those.
171
Honey?
172
Really?
173
Yeah, you put it on, you lick it off, you feel much better.
174
It's nature's ointment.
175
I put it everywhere.
176
So he doesn't say put them or even put-um.
177
He says put-um.
178
Check out these other examples with the TV series Friends.
179
You have to put them together yourself, but they cost a little less.
180
That's why we're gonna be in the room.
181
You have to put them together yourself.
182
I say we just put them all together, and if they can't deal with it, who cares?
183
I do!
184
That's who?
185
I say we just put them all together, and if they can't deal with it, who cares?
186
Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle!
187
To stay in is to decide to stay inside, or at home, instead of going out.
188
Example, we went to the movie theater last night, but tonight we're staying in.
189
To cuddle with somebody is to put your arms around somebody and hold him or her in a loving way.
190
Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a...
191
Happy snowman!
192
As you know, the running joke in this song is
193
that Olaf is completely ignorant to what would actually happen to him as a snowman in the summer.
194
He would likely become water and thus form a puddle on the ground, like seen in this image.
195
So the joke in this line is that it would be a perfect rhyme if it were
196
Winter's a good time to stay and then cuddle! but put me in summer and I'll be a puddle.
197
But Olaf is so unaware of the facts that he doesn't make the rhyme, and instead says he would be a happy snowman.
198
When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream.
199
In this context, if something is considered to be rough, it is hard or difficult.
200
To hold onto something is to hold something tightly or carefully
201
so that you do not drop it or it does not fall.
202
Hold onto your seat, we're going off-road.
203
It can also mean to keep something, as opposed to losing it, throwing it away, or giving it to somebody else.
204
Hold onto this map, you will need it to find the exit.
205
Okay, but only if you give me a drag.
206
Okay.
207
No, no, why don't you hold on to that one?
208
When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream.
209
So in the case of this line, we see a more figurative use of this phrasal verb.
210
Olaf means that when life gets difficult, he likes to remember and keep his dream or goal alive.
211
To let off steam is an idiomatic expression meaning to do
212
or say something that helps you to get rid of strong or tense feelings or energy.
213
She jogs after work to let off steam.
214
hard this semester.
215
I really need to go crazy, you know?
216
Blow off some steam.
217
Sure, sure.
218
Look, I don't know if your plans are finalized yet, but hey, I know another great way to blow off steam.
219
What?
220
Are you into crafts at all?
221
This is actually another case of a funny double meaning.
222
The word steam refers to water in form of gas, normally obtained when you heat it up.
223
So, literally speaking, if something is letting off steam, like the soup, it is so hot that the water in it is becoming gas.
224
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer, I'm gonna tell him.
225
Don't you dare.
226
If you say to someone, don't you dare do something, you are telling them not to do it and letting them know that you are angry.
227
The element never existed, I didn't take it away.
228
Science took it away.
229
Be mad at science.
230
Don't you dare use science against me.
231
Science is my best friend.
232
Literally, to dare to do something is to have the courage to do something.
233
If you are daring somebody else to do something,
234
you are challenging or provoking them to try to do something. In Summer!
235
Now let's watch and learn with a short clip from Frozen 2, where we see Olaf actually got to experience and survive warm weather,
236
but in doing so, starts to deeply reflect upon life and the change of the seasons.
237
Enjoying your new permafrost, Olaf?
238
I'm just living the dream, Anna.
239
Oh, how I wish this could last forever.
240
And yet change mocks us with her beauty.
241
What's that?
242
Forgive me, maturity is making me poetic.
243
Tell me, you're older and thus all-knowing.
244
Do you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?
245
Uh, no. Really?
246
Wow, I can't wait until I'm aged like you so I don't have to worry about important things.
247
Enjoying your new permafrost, Olaf?
248
Permafrost refers to something, more commonly to an area of land, that is permanently frozen due to being under extreme low temperature.
249
In Frozen 2, Olaf is now made of permanent snow, a magical improvement made by Elsa.
250
I'm just living the dream, Anna.
251
To live the dream is to have the lifestyle that you always wanted to have, especially after becoming very successful or rich.
252
I always wanted to be a famous singer, and now I'm living the dream.
253
Oh my God, that took you five seconds.
254
Was it that long?
255
The man is a god!
256
And he's still out there living the dream.
257
So I'm going to Sydney tomorrow with Bon Jovi.
258
I'll be on the road the rest of the year.
259
Olaf says he's living the dream.
260
Because of his permafrost magic, now he can experience summer.
261
Oh, how I wish this could last forever.
262
As a verb, to last is to continue for a period of time.
263
In other words, to continue to exist.
264
Okay, so alright, I haven't been in a relationship that lasted longer than a month.
265
Okay, I haven't had a real boyfriend.
266
Olaf is saying he wishes lying down and relaxing like he's doing now could be something that lasts forever, that never ends.
267
And yet change mocks us with her beauty.
268
What's that?
269
Forgive me, maturity is making me poetic.
270
So Olaf is saying that maturity, that is becoming older and having more experiences in life, is something that is making him speak poetically.
271
If something is or sounds poetic, it expresses emotions and ideas, as if it were coming from a poem.
272
In this case, yet means the same as despite that.
273
It is used to add something that seems surprising because of what you have just said.
274
If you mock somebody, you are making fun of them, ridiculing them, maybe while treating them with anger and contempt.
275
Olaf is poetically saying here that the changes that happen in the universe and nature is something that mocks humans,
276
that makes them feel insignificant or ridiculous because of the inability to control it.
277
What's that?
278
What's that is an expression you can use when you don't understand or didn't hear what somebody said, and want to ask what did you say, or repeat that.
279
It's good to meet you, Sam.
280
It's your bed, right?
281
What's that?
282
Your bed, it's too soft.
283
When I was over there I'd sleep on the ground, use rock for pillows like a caveman.
284
Now I'm home, lying in my bed and it's like...
285
Lying on a marshmallow.
286
I feel like I'm gonna sink right to the floor.
287
Tell me, you're older and thus all-knowing, do you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?
288
Thus is an adverb and another alternative to saying consequently, therefore for.
289
Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the finals, thus becoming champion.
290
All-knowing is an adjective meaning knowing everything.
291
Someone who's all-knowing is aware of everything.
292
For example, most religions describe God as all-knowing.
293
The phrase, do you ever,
294
simply means do you normally do something.
295
Do you ever go to the gym?
296
Uh, no. Really?
297
Wow, I can't wait until I'm aged like you so I don't have to worry about important things.
298
Ancient means very old.
299
Olaf is saying that he is very excited about the idea of growing older.
300
Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.
301
Really?
302
I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat.
303
Nope.
304
But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come.
305
Um...
306
Bees the buzz, kids a-blow dandelion fuzz, and I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer.
307
I drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand. And...
308
Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer...
309
I'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm...
310
And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm...
311
And I can't wait to see what my buddies all think of me.
312
Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer.
313
Da-da, da-do.
314
Ah-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bo.
315
The hot and the cold are both so intense, put them together.
316
It just makes sense.
317
Ra-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-do.
318
Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer, and I'll be a- Happy snowman!
319
When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream Of relaxing in the summer sun,
320
just letting off steam Oh,
321
the sky will be blue And you guys will be there too When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!
322
I'm gonna tell him.
323
Don't you dare. In summer!
324
Enjoying your new permafrost, Olaf?
325
I'm just living the dream, Anna.
326
Oh, how I wish this could last forever.
327
And yet change mocks us with her beauty.
328
What's that?
329
Forgive me, maturity is making me poetic.
330
Tell me, you're older and thus all-knowing.
331
Do you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?
332
Uh, no. Really?
333
Wow, I can't wait until I'm aged like you so I don't have to worry about important things.
334
Awesome, I hope that you had a lot of fun with this lesson with Frozen, and that it'll help you a lot when you go and see Frozen 2 in theaters.

Contesto e sfondo
Imparare l'inglese con i video di film come Frozen è un modo divertente e efficace per approfondire la lingua, ma spesso non è sufficiente da solo. Nella video lezione, l'insegnante condivide la sua esperienza di apprendimento linguistico, sottolineando che media nativi e divertimento sono essenziali, ma a un certo punto serve la guida di un insegnante per superare ostacoli e aumentare la confidenza. Ecco perché presenta un'opportunità speciale per migliorare le competenze orali in modo strutturato.

Guida passo passo al shadow speak
Il shadow speak (o shadow speech) è una tecnica perfetta per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e l'intonazione. Ecco come applicarla al video su Frozen:
- Ascolta attentamente un frammento corto (5-10 secondi) del video. Concentrati sulla velocità e sull'accento.
- Ripeti immediatamente dopo , cercando di imitare il tono e la pronuncia. Non ti preoccupare di capire ogni parola: il focus è sulla riproduzione.
- Ripeti il processo 3-4 volte finché non senti che la tua pronuncia si avvicina a quella nativa.
- Aumenta la lunghezza dei frammenti man mano che diventi più confidente. Questo aiuterà a gestire la fluidità della conversazione.
Combina il shadow speak con le lezioni strutturate e in pochi mesi noterai un miglioramento tangibile. Ricorda: la chiave è la costanza!

| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | scene, which is · people who are · somebody who is |

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
