This is my house.

I have to defend it.

Heads up!

Don't worry, Marv, I'll get them for you!

NURRY!

Ow!

Yes!

Aww yeah, let's learn English with everyone's favorite Christmas classic, Home Alone.

Before we get started, if it's important for you to be able to remember all of the new words

and expressions that you're going to learn in today's episode, so that you can actually use them when you get into a conversation in English,

then I highly recommend that you download the RealLife English app and watch this lesson there, clicking the link down in the description below now.

You'll get vocabulary flashcards with all the expressions you'll learn today, like heads up, and I'll get them that we just saw in the opening clip.

And our app uses an innovative technology called Spaced Repetition Software, which is like magic for being able to remember any new word or expression.

And trust me, it was an essential tool for me in learning six different languages.

Alright, so don't miss out on having the right word at the right time exactly when you need it.

Download that for free right now by clicking the link in the description.

And now, let's have a lot of fun learning English with Home Alone.

This is how this lesson will work.

First, we will watch the clip with subtitles.

Then, you'll learn the key vocabulary and pronunciation.

Finally, you'll put it all to the test by watching again without subtitles and answering some quiz questions.

Hey, Mark.

Mark.

Look at this.

I think we're getting scammed by a kindergarten.

Remember that kid we saw the other day?

He lives here.

Well, if the kid's there, the parent's gotta be.

He's home alone.

You gotta be kidding.

You wanna come back tonight?

Uh-huh.

Even with the kid here?

Uh-huh.

I don't think that's a good idea, Harry.

Hey, look, that house is the only reason we started working this block in the first place.

Ever since I laid eyes on that house, I wanted it.

So let's take it one step in time, okay?

Okay, we'll unload the van, we'll get a bite to eat, we'll come back about 9 o'clock.

If you yell, heads up, it's to alert someone that there is something they should be cautious of or look out for.

For instance, if you were playing soccer and a teammate accidentally kicks the ball towards your friend's back, you might yell, heads up, so your friend can dodge it in time.

Get is such a versatile word.

In this instance, if you say that you will get someone, it means that you will capture or attack that person.

I think we're getting scammed by a kindy garden.

Now if you're scammed, it means you've been tricked or deceived.

For example, imagine someone creates a fake website

that looks like a well-known store and tricks people into entering their credit card information.

They take the money, but never send any products.

This is an example of scamming and is how this expression is more commonly used.

In this context when Harry says I think we're getting scammed by a kindergartner, he means to say that Kevin is trying to fool them into believing that his parents are still at home.

Kevin McAllister is eight years old in Home Alone, so he's not really a kindergartner.

A kindergartner would be a kid aged from five to six years old and attending kindergarten, part of the American elementary school system and the grade just before first grade.

By the way, notice that the T gets cut off at the back of the throat.

Kindergartner.

You're trying saying it.

Kindergartner.

Here, we see Kevin putting up ornaments on the Christmas tree, carefully placing a shiny red ball.

Suddenly, he spots the reflection of the burglars outside, realizing they are watching him.

Hey, let me ask you something.

Do you feel stuck trying to remember the new words that you learn?

They just don't come to you when you need them.

Or maybe your problem is that you just sound too basic

because you're using the same words all the time and you sound repetitive.

You don't flow at all as naturally as you do in your native language, right?

I know exactly how you feel.

I suffered from exactly the same problem in learning six different languages myself

and I've talked to thousands of learners from every part of the world who also struggle

so much like this just like you are

and this is exactly why we created the real life english app to give learners like you the resources

that you need to speak english confidently

and naturally i mean you want to speak more english right

but that's just so hard to do without the words

that you need in your active vocabulary that's the vocabulary

that comes to you easily without you having to pause and think about it and then the conversation just flows really smoothly.

Well, every new lesson we create comes with vocabulary flashcards, and the flashcards and the video are over on the RealLife English app.

By practicing just 10 to 15 minutes a day,

you'll be able to transfer these new words and expressions from your short-term memory to your long-term memory using spaced repetition software,

which tests you on the new words at spaced intervals, reminding you of it right when when you're about to forget it.

So you will always have exactly the word you need right when you need it in your English conversations.

So download it for free right now by searching for RealLife English in the Google Play Store

or Apple App Store or you can simply click the link down in the description below

and if you do that on your phone it will take you right to the Home Alone lesson.

Now let's do a quick quiz with the next part of the scene.

Aw yeah!

Remember that kid we saw the other day?

He lives here.

What does the phrase, the other day, mean?

Yesterday, a few days ago, last weekend.

Yes, this means a recent day in the past, not too long ago.

It's a great phrase to use when telling personal stories.

You can practice it now.

Share something interesting that happened to you the other day in the comments.

Or you could even go to the RealLife English app

and connect to another English learner to share it with them and practice your speaking.

You gotta be kidding.

You wanna come back tonight?

100

Uh huh.

101

Even with the kid here?

102

To be kidding means to be joking or fooling someone in a playful way.

103

But the phrase, you gotta be kidding, is actually used to express surprise as a reaction to something the other person did or said.

104

If we go by the grammar books, the expression should be, you have got to be kidding.

105

However, in fascinating speech, we often drop auxiliary verbs like have.

106

Furthermore, got to becomes gotta.

107

Notice the flap T sound, gotta.

108

And we drop the G in ing words like kidding, so it becomes, you gotta be kidding.

109

Listen again and repeat.

110

A block is a

111

group of buildings surrounded by four streets.

112

People often use a block to describe walking or driving distances.

113

For example, it's two blocks away means it is two street segments away.

114

Now there's a great collocation in this sentence.

115

house is the only reason why we started working this block.

116

Working something, like working this area or working this block, means focusing effort, attention, or activity on a specific place or subject.

117

Where working this block means they are focusing their burglary efforts on that particular neighborhood.

118

Did you see the district for our inspection right today?

119

It's just a bunch of mansions and yoga studios.

120

Last time I worked that area, that lady threatened to sue me because I got mud on her carpet.

121

And the expression in the first place means at the start, usually referring to the original reason or situation for something.

122

When you lay eyes on something, you see or notice it.

123

Like here, one of the burglars says that from the moment that he noticed that house, he wanted to rob it.

124

And he doesn't want to make any mistakes.

125

So, he wants to take it one step at a time.

126

Which means he wants to proceed slowly and carefully, handling one thing at a time to avoid rushing or messing up.

127

There's a great example of connected speech in the phrase, I wanted it, and take it one step at a time.

128

Let's break it down.

129

I wanted it.

130

We drop the T in the NT combination.

131

Wanted becomes wanted.

132

Then the D from wanted links to it, forming one chunk.

133

Wanted it.

134

I wanted it.

135

Listen and repeat.

136

Wanted it.

137

Wanted it.

138

So let's take it one step at a time, okay?

139

Take it one step at a time.

140

What happens here?

141

Well first we have a stop T at the end of it and it links to take.

142

Take it.

143

Then these next four words, step at a time, are linked together.

144

The P from step is linked to a schwa sound in at.

145

Step up.

146

The T from at is followed by another schwa sound and turns into a d sound.

147

Step it up.

148

One step at a time.

149

Listen and repeat.

150

Let's take a one step at a time, okay?

151

Let's take a one step at a time, okay?

152

We'll unload the van, we'll get a bite to eat, we'll come back about 9 o'clock.

153

As Kevin opens up the window to hear what the Wet Bandits are saying, there are two nice words you can remember to describe a similar situation.

154

These words are over here and eavesdrop.

155

Let's try a quick quiz.

156

Can you match the meaning?

157

So, Kevin heard that the burglars will come back about 9 o'clock after they unload the van and grab a bite.

158

When you unload a vehicle, like a car, truck or van, you remove things out of it.

159

Get a bite to eat or grab a bite is an informal way to refer to having a light meal.

160

Check out this example.

161

I'm gonna go grab a bite.

162

I'll meet you down there.

163

So this movie is known for the hilarious traps that Kevin ingeniously sets for the burglars.

164

In fact, he even has this battle plan that points out a lot of the booby traps that he set for them.

165

There's a whole sequence of them.

166

And a fun fact for you, Macaulay Culkin, the kid actor, actually drew this map himself.

167

By the way, a booby trap is a hidden trick which can be quite harmless, maybe a bucket of water falling onto your friend,

168

but it could also be used to stop bad people, like something sharp on the floor or a heated door knob see these traps until it's too late,

169

which is exactly what makes them so effective.

170

So we're going to see how Kevin gets started with this in the next scene and you're gonna laugh a lot.

171

Let's go.

172

This is it.

173

Don't get scared now.

174

Merry Christmas little fella.

175

We know that you're in there and that you're all alone.

176

Yeah, come on, kid, open up.

177

It's Santa Claus and his elf.

178

We're not gonna hurt you.

179

No, no. We got some nice presents for you.

180

Be a good little fella now and open the door.

181

Shoot!

182

No!

183

No!

184

What?

185

What?

186

What?

187

What?

188

What?

189

What?

190

What happened?

191

Get that little...

192

Hello. Did you

193

notice that the scene starts with the phrase, this is it, and it ends with the phrase, that's it?

194

Well stick around to learn the difference between the two.

195

This is it.

196

Don't get scared now.

197

That's it!

198

This is it is an interesting expression you can use

199

when an expected or important moment has arrived and something significant is about to happen.

200

You're kind of preparing yourself for what's coming next.

201

Well, this is it.

202

This is it.

203

This is it.

204

This is it.

205

Fella is

206

short for fellow, meaning guy.

207

Little fella is a casual term for a young boy, often used in a playful or affectionate way.

208

There's a nice connected speech example in the next sentence.

209

Listen to it again.

210

We know that you're in there and that you're all alone.

211

That you're in there becomes that you're in there.

212

The combination of the letters T plus Y gives us a ch sound. That you're.

213

Repeat after me.

214

That you're in there.

215

And the same happens in that you're all alone.

216

Also, the R from your gets linked to all.

217

And the L from all is linked to the schwa sound from the word alone.

218

That you're all alone.

219

We know that you're in there and that you're all alone.

220

We know that you're in there and that you're all alone. By the way, Ksenia

221

and I did a recent lesson on a RealLife English channel

222

where we teach you some of the most common patterns of connected speech like this,

223

like this with artists like Dua Lipa and Eminem or shows like How I Met Your Mother.

224

So it's a lot of fun and mastering these can really help you to improve your speaking, sound a bit more native-like, and especially it will help you to better be able to understand a fast native speech.

225

Check that out by clicking the link down in the description below.

226

Yeah, come on kid, open up.

227

It's Santa Claus and his elf.

228

The burglars ask him to open up the door.

229

Why not simply say, open the door?

230

Well, both are correct.

231

Open up just emphasizes the action, making it sound urgent or persuasive.

232

In other contexts, the casual phrase open up may also sound more natural

233

and less like a direct order compared to open the door.

234

I've had enough of this.

235

I'm taking the next boat out of here.

236

Open up that door.

237

Open up, I wanna go home.

238

It's Santa Claus and his elf.

239

Santa Claus is another example of how they try to adapt their speech and sound friendlier.

240

Santa Claus is a playful variation of Santa, mimicking how young children might pronounce Santa.

241

Let's break down the connected speech in this sentence.

242

The NT letter combination loses the T, so it sounds like Sanne, not Santy.

243

The D is dropped in and, while the H sound is dropped in his, so they link together and we hear enes.

244

Finally, the Z sound from his gets linked to the next word, enesel.

245

Altogether, it's pronounced as Santa Claus and his elf.

246

Kevin's not gonna open the door.

247

Instead we see him coming out of the doggy door with his BB gun.

248

A BB gun is a type of air gun that shoots small round pellets called BBs.

249

These pellets are usually made of metal or plastic.

250

Even though it's not as dangerous as a real gun, a BB is still extremely painful to be shot with.

251

So Kevin shoots Harry's crotch and the booger screams in agony.

252

This part of the body between the legs is called the crotch.

253

Be a good little fella now and open the door!

254

AHHHHH!

255

SHOOT!

256

The exclamation, SHOOT! is an informal and mild expression of frustration, annoyance, disappointment, or surprise.

257

It is often used as a softer less offensive substitute for a vulgar curse word for example shoot.

258

I forgot my keys

259

Jerk is a mild insult in English meaning someone who is rude irritating or hard to deal with.

260

A little jerk his arm!

261

That's it!

262

That's it!

263

I'm calling him out of front, you're going out of basement!

264

Now do you remember the phrase, this is it, Kevin said while preparing to meet the burglars?

265

Here, Harry says, that's it.

266

What's the difference?

267

That's it means I've had enough, or I'm done with this.

268

You say it when you reach your limit and you can't take it anymore.

269

You are ready to take some action to stop it or change the course of events.

270

How would you feel about linoleum in the living room?

271

What?

272

Well, a lot of people have done it.

273

I'm almost sure I've seen it.

274

That's it.

275

That's it.

276

That's it!

277

I can't take it anymore!

278

You little jerk is armed!

279

That's it!

280

That's it!

281

I'm going around the front, you go down the basement!

282

Now a basement is the lowest level of a building, typically located partly or entirely below ground level.

283

In Home Alone, the basement is a cluttered area that Kevin was afraid of at the beginning of the movie, but later used to help set his traps.

284

Alright, now let's test everything that you've learned today by watching the scene a final time without subtitles

285

And I'm also gonna ask you some quiz questions to test your comprehension Hey Mark,

286

Mark, Mark, look at this I think we're getting scammed by a kindy gun.

287

If you are scammed, you are cheated or tricked by someone, accidentally hurt, given something for free.

288

He lives here.

289

Well, if the kid's there, the parent's got to be.

290

He's home alone.

291

You've got to be kidding.

292

You want to come back tonight?

293

Uh-huh.

294

Even with the kid here?

295

Uh-huh.

296

I don't think that's a good idea, Harry.

297

Hey, look.

298

That house is the only reason we started working this block in the first place.

299

Ever since I laid eyes on that house, I wanted it.

300

To work the block means to repair broken streets and buildings in the neighborhood, to focus on an area within a group of streets, to walk around the block for exercise or leisure.

301

This way it's dark then.

302

Yeah, kids are scared of the dark.

303

You're afraid of the dark too, Mon.

304

You know you are.

305

No I'm not.

306

You should do a lot.

307

Not, not, not.

308

You are so.

309

Mom, where are you?

310

over hearing happens in private.

311

Ah! Where are you?

312

How do we call the traps for the burglars that Kevin set up in his house?

313

Booby traps.

314

Merry Christmas little fella.

315

We know that you're in there and that you're all alone.

316

Yeah, come on kid, open up.

317

What?

318

What?

319

What do we call the part of the body between the legs?

320

Crotch.

321

Hello.

322

Ah!

323

Yes!

324

Yes!

325

The little jerk is armed!

326

That's it!

327

That's it!

328

I'm going around the front, you go down the basement!

329

Awesome job today guys!

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
