Creazione lezione...
1
Hey!
2
Crab cake!
3
I'm back.
4
Mwah!
5
It's Maui time!
6
What do you say, little buddy?
7
Giant Hawk?
8
Coming up!
9
Hi, guys!
10
I'm Ksenia, your real -life English fluency coach, and I hope you like legends and myths.
11
Because the Disney animation we will be watching today is based on the legends of Maui a demigod from Polynesian mythology.
12
And in the scene I chose for you, we will see how Moana tricks Tamatoa,
13
this huge crab monster, and helps Maui get his magic hook back.
14
So, this is how the lesson will work.
15
First, you will watch the clip with the subtitles.
16
Then we will teach you the most important pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar.
17
And then comes your favorite part, a comprehension test, where you will watch the clip without subtitles and answer some of our questions.
18
But before we get started, let me remind you
19
that every week we put out lessons just like this one to help you understand your favorite movies
20
and TV series without getting lost, without missing the jokes, and without subtitles.
21
So hit that subscribe button and bell down below to never miss any of our new lessons.
22
Wow!
23
The shiny glittery cave!
24
And just like me, it is covered in sparkly treasure.
25
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle.
26
You're not selling it.
27
This is stupid!
28
I'm just gonna walk up and get it!
29
You go up there, he will kill you.
30
Just stick to the plan.
31
Oh, when he shows up, keep him distracted.
32
Make him talk about himself.
33
He loves bragging about how great he is.
34
You two must get along swell.
35
Oh, not since I ripped off his leg.
36
You ripped off his leg?
37
Bowie?
38
What have we here?
39
It's a sparkly, shiny...
40
Wait a minute.
41
It's a human!
42
What are you doing down here in the realm of the month?
43
Just pick an eye, babe.
44
I can't concentrate on what I'm saying if you keep...
45
Yeah, pick one.
46
Pick one.
47
Iguana is a crab's cave, acting as a bait to distract his attention from Maui, who's trying to get his hook back.
48
By the way, In fishing, The word "bait" refers to a small amount of food on a hook used to attract
49
and catch a fish or an animal.
50
Wow!
51
The shiny glittery cave!
52
And just like me, it is covered in sparkly treasure.
53
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle.
54
If something is glitter and sparkly, it shines like gold or diamonds.
55
Check out this example from the movie Minions.
56
There was going to be a coronation
57
and I was going to be made Queen every moment was planned I'd wear a dress so sparkly it glowed.
58
Oh
59
So you know the verb "to sell", right? like selling products or services
60
But did you know? that you can also sell ideas or stories For example,
61
here Moana's role is to convince the crab that she is a shiny object he would want to have in his collection.
62
The act of trying to convince him could be referred to as Selling it.
63
Now let's say you are not convinced You don't believe a story or an idea.
64
Then you can say, I'm not buying it.
65
Meaning that you don't believe it, you are not convinced.
66
Now what if I told you
67
that there is an app where with the click of a button you actually get connected to another person
68
to have a short conversation with and practice your English speaking.
69
Would you buy it?
70
I mean, the app is free and downloading it would cost you nothing, but would you buy the idea?
71
Well, that's exactly what you can do on the real -life app.
72
You can access a new lesson every week with me, Ethan, and Tiago, where we talk about many interesting topics.
73
And along with these lessons, you get digital transcripts and flashcards of the most difficult vocabulary,
74
new words, all in one place.
75
Look at what one of our users, Nesma, said about their experience: Awesome application!
76
I like the flashcards, the script and all the tips and motivation we have in the lessons.
77
Great job, dears.
78
So if you want to go from feeling lost and insecure English learner to becoming a confident English speaker,
79
download the RealLife English app right now you can click in the link up here or in the description below.
80
You can also find Realize app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
81
Now let's continue with the lesson.
82
This is a conditional or "if" sentence.
83
But you might be asking yourself: where is the word "if"?
84
Well, In informal conversations, natives can sometimes omit the word "if" at the beginning of the sentence.
85
The meaning stays the same though.
86
In writing it would be: "If you go up there,
87
he will kill you." This is the first type conditional sentence where we talk about the possibility and the result.
88
In the "if" clause we have present simple and in the main clause will + infinitive.
89
Let me give you an example.
90
If you hit that subscribe button, you will receive our newest lessons every week.
91
Now try this.
92
Pause this video.
93
And write in the comments three sentences in the first conditional.
94
Remember, you should use "if" at the very beginning or you may try avoiding it.
95
Stick to the plan.
96
Oh, when he shows up, keep him distracted.
97
Make him talk about himself.
98
When you stay focused and on track with the original plan, You stick to the plan.
99
Check out another example in this clip from Storks.
100
But your wing's broken, you can't-- Make a plan!
101
Stick to the plan!
102
Always deliver!
103
Just stick to the plan.
104
Oh, when he shows up, keep him distracted.
105
Make him talk about himself.
106
He loves bragging about how great he is.
107
Do you know somebody who's always talking about something they've accomplished or done in life?
108
Well, that's called bragging or boasting.
109
And it could be really annoying to others.
110
Now, what do you think we should call a boastful person who likes to brag?
111
"Bragman" Boastman, Brega Raggot.
112
These aren't very common words, but the two last words are correct.
113
Bregger and Bregut.
114
Oh, this is delicious.
115
Well, they're also great in stews.
116
Now, I don't mean to brag, but I make a mean Weed rat stew.
117
Oh, when he shows up, keep him distracted.
118
Make him talk about himself.
119
Now listen to the connected speech example in this clip.
120
Did you notice how Maui pronounces the word him?
121
He doesn't say "Keep him" and "Make him".
122
He drops the "h" sound, so we hear "Keep him", "Make him".
123
He loves bragging about how great he is.
124
You two must get along swell.
125
Oh, not since I ripped off his leg.
126
Now, to get along with somebody, means to have a good relationship with them.
127
Like, for example, it's nice to get along with your neighbors.
128
And if you are good friends, then you can say, "You get along swell." The phrasal verb 'get along' can also have other meanings.
129
Let me play you some clips.
130
and you'll try to guess the meaning from the context.
131
Oh look, the kids are finally getting along!
132
That's nice.
133
Here, it means to have a good, harmonious relationship with someone.
134
Here.
135
It means to move forward, to go forward.
136
Here, it simply means to live or survive.
137
To rip off means to cut off or to tear off something violently.
138
It may also mean stealing from or cheating someone.
139
me.
140
Wait a minute.
141
The "T" sound in English, especially American English, changes depending on the other sounds that surround it.
142
In the phrase, Wait a minute! the letter T, is between two vowel sounds so we hear a "da" sound instead.
143
Wait a minute.
144
Wait a minute.
145
Wait a minute.
146
What have we here?
147
It's a sparkly, shiny...
148
Wait a minute.
149
Ugh, it's a human!
150
What are you doing down here in the realm?
151
of the month.
152
And in this sentence: What are you doing down here?
153
The first three words get linked together.
154
Let's break down the pronunciation.
155
What are you?
156
The letter T from what is between two vowel sounds so we get the flap T sound.
157
that get connected to the word "are".
158
What a...
159
What a...
160
It is then followed by U in its weak form - Y.
161
and all three words Together, pronounces one sound what a yeah What are you doing down here?
162
What are you doing down here?
163
What are you doing down here in the realm of the month?
164
Just pick an eye, babe.
165
I can't.
166
When you pick something, you choose it among other things.
167
Sometimes it's so hard for us to pick something, especially for us, girls, when we go shopping.
168
Then our eyes dart back and forth just like Moana did in this clip.
169
Now, let's see what happens next and learn some more interesting vocabulary.
170
They're funny looking little thing, aren't you?
171
Don't!
172
That's my grandma's!
173
That's my grandma's!
174
I ate my grandma, and it took a week, 'cause she was absolutely humongous.
175
Why are you here? Because you're amazing!
176
And we mortals have...
177
heard of the tale of the crab, who became a legend.
178
And I just had to know how you became so...
179
crab.
180
Ulysse!
181
Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself?
182
Because if you are, I will gladly do so!
183
They are funny looking little thing, aren't you?
184
Don't!
185
Aren't you?
186
Ooh, this is one of my favorite features of the English grammar, the tag question.
187
It's often used when you make a statement
188
and want to get a confirmation from another person or you simply want to encourage them to respond to you.
189
You can also add a tag question if you are in doubt or want to check your understanding.
190
then it truly functions as a question.
191
Now, if you want to use it, There are two important things to remember.
192
You should always match the verb in the tag question with the verb "to be" or the auxiliary verb in the statement.
193
For example: She's a nice friend, isn't she?
194
In both parts of the sentence, we have the verb "to be" in the third person singular.
195
The second thing is to add negative tag questions to positive statements and positive tag questions to negative statements.
196
For example, So, I think you have a new plan, don't you?
197
She's no joke, is she?
198
Can you make up your own sentences following our examples?
199
Write them down in the comments!
200
A quick note about connected speech here in this sentence:
201
Words AND and it gets reduced and linked together with the verb tog.
202
The D at the end of "AND" gets dropped
203
and then the T at the end of it merges with the T from 2.
204
And it too.
205
any tube.
206
And there is actually no pause before a week either, which here results in pronouncing all five words together.
207
and it took a week.
208
And it took a week 'cause you was Bye.
209
you .
210
I ate my grandma and it took a week because she was absolutely humongous.
211
The word "humongous" means huge, extremely large that it's hard to really measure.
212
You could understand it as a mix of the words "huge" and "monstrous".
213
Look at this hilarious example from Jack Frost.
214
Ulysse!
215
Crabulous is actually a made -up word It probably refers to a combination of the words "scrab" and "fabulous".
216
There might be a pun intended.
217
The thing is, in the English language there is a word "crapulous".
218
which means suffering from excessive drinking or eating.
219
And because crab is so huge and so obsessed with eating and collecting treasures, We can really say that he is.
220
Scrapulous.
221
Alright, now let's get ready for a test, you will listen to the clip one more time, now without subtitles, and answer a few questions.
222
- Wow!
223
The shiny, glittery cave!
224
And just like me, it is covered in sparkly treasure.
225
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle.
226
You're not selling it.
227
This is stupid!
228
I'm just gonna walk up and get it!
229
You go up there, he will kill you.
230
Just stick to the plan.
231
Oh, when he shows up, keep him distracted.
232
Make him talk about himself.
233
He loves bragging about how great he is.
234
What does "bragging" mean here?
235
To talk about how great someone is, to boast.
236
Sparkle, sparkle.
237
You're not selling it.
238
This is stupid!
239
I'm just gonna walk up and get it!
240
You go up there, he will kill you.
241
Just stick to the plan.
242
Oh, when he shows up, keep him distracted.
243
Make him talk about himself.
244
What phrasal verb describes a friendly relationship with someone?
245
Go along, get along, get away.
246
Thank you.
247
Thank you.
248
They are funny looking little things aren't you?
249
- Don't!
250
That's my grandma's!
251
- That's my grandma's!
252
I ate my grandma and it took a week 'cause she was absolutely humongous.
253
Why are you here?
254
What is the correct tag question here?
255
Thank you.
256
Thank you.
257
You're a funny -looking little thing, aren't you?
258
You're a funny looking little thing, aren't you?
259
Don't!
260
That's my grandma!
261
That's my grandma!
262
I ate my grandma and it took a week because she was absolutely humongous.
263
Why are you here?
264
What's the opposite of the word "humongous" here?
265
Human enormous, tiny
266
If you enjoyed learning English with Moana, continue by watching this other lesson we made with the movie.
267
Men and women.
268
Both.
269
All.
270
Not a guy /girl thing.
271
You know, Maui is a hero to all.
272
You're doing great.
273
What?
274
No, I'm here to-- Of course, of course.
275
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
276
Now he always has time for his fans.
277
Mm -hmm.
278
When you use a bird to write with, it's called tweeting.
279
Huh?

Informazioni su questa lezione
In questa lezione, ci immergeremo nel fantastico mondo di Moana e delle leggende polinesiane, focalizzandoci specialmente sul demigod Maui. Gli studenti avranno l'opportunità di esercitarsi ascoltando un estratto dal film, mentre apprendono la pronuncia, il vocabolario e la grammatica chiave. L'obiettivo è quello di migliorare la comprensione orale e la fluidità attraverso il metodo del shadow speak. Guardando il video con i sottotitoli, gli studenti possono cogliere le sfumature dell'inglese colloquiale e quindi testare le loro abilità con un breve quiz di comprensione.
Vocabolario e frasi chiave
- Crab cake - tortino di granchio
- Demigod - semidio
- Magic hook - amo magico
- Bait - esca
- Treasure - tesoro
- Bragging - vantarsi
- Distracted - distratto
- Concentrate - concentrarsi
Consigli per la pratica
Per massimizzare il tuo apprendimento attraverso questa lezione, prova a eseguire il shadowing mentre guardi il video. Ecco alcuni consigli utili:
- Guarda il video con i sottotitoli attivi almeno una volta per abituarti alla pronuncia e all'intonazione di Ksenia e degli altri personaggi.
- Fai pratica ripetendo le frasi *immediatamente* dopo averle ascoltate. Concentrati sulla velocità e sul tono degli attori, cercando di emulare il loro modo di parlare.
- Pausa il video dopo ogni frase che ti sembra particolarmente interessante o difficile da pronunciare e prova a ripeterla diverse volte. Questo ti aiuterà a sviluppare una maggiore familiarità con il suono della lingua inglese.
- Puoi anche sperimentare il shadowspeak provando a pronunciare le nuove parole e frasi in contesti diversi durante le tue conversazioni quotidiane.
Imparare l'inglese con YouTube è un modo divertente ed efficace per migliorare le tue abilità linguistiche! Assicurati di mettere in pratica queste strategie ogni volta che lavori su nuove lezioni.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Frasi condizionali if + frase, will/would + verbo — una condizione e il suo risultato | if you are, I will gladly |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | is based · is covered · be made |
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ing | loves bragging · enjoyed learning |
| Possibilità con “might / may” might/may + verbo — qualcosa di possibile ma non certo | might be · may try · may also mean |
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.
