No no no, what do you mean she's not coming?

I have a backyard full of these little girls who are counting on a visit from a fairy princess!

Die!

HURP!

Hey!

Hey, oh!

Oh!

Ugh...

Listen, I don't want a refund!

I want the fairy princess!

Please, please, I'm begging you.

You know what?

I hope that you can sleep at night, you crusher of little girl's thieves!

Oh, oh, when's the fairy princess coming?

Any minute now.

Yay!

Stole them.

Oh, yeah, Global Citizens, in today's lesson,

you learn English with a hilarious scene from Despicable Me 2.

So Gru is throwing a birthday party to Agnes, but when things don't go as planned, he has to improvise and it gets pretty chaotic.

Along the way you learn advanced everyday vocabulary that natives actually use in real situations.

Now to help you not only learn these expressions but also never forget them,

we want to give you access to all the smart flashcards from this lesson for free.

You can practice with them in our app by clicking the link below.

Thousands of learners just like you are becoming more fluent every day and having fun while doing it.

If that sounds like something you'd like, be sure to try out our method.

You only need a few minutes a day to see real progress.

Okay, so are you ready to jump back into our first scene and learn with it?

Let's do it!

so Agnes is having her birthday party in the backyard

and everything looks perfect princess costumes decorations

and even a fairy princess coming a backyard by the way

is simply the area behind your house where you might have a party a barbecue

or just relax now let's listen to what Gru is talking about on the phone.

When you count on someone or something, you depend on it or trust that it will happen.

Gru is saying the girls are expecting the fairy princess to show up.

See these other examples.

Galaxy is coming on us.

So it seems the fairy princes, Gru hired to entertain the party, won't be able to come.

Listen, I don't want a refund.

I want the fairy prince.

Please, please, I'm begging you.

They want to give Gru a refund.

That's when you get your money back after buying and then returning a product or canceling a service.

You may also hear natives use the word reimburse as a verb

or reimbursement as a noun which means the same thing check these examples

if there's been some kind of misunderstanding i'd be happy to refund your money just pay for it

and we'll reimburse you

when you get back listen i don't want a refund i

want to file a priest that's please please i'm begging you

to beg means to ask for something in a very emotional humble way

because you really need help now listen to these advanced expressions a guru uses here you know what i hope

that you can sleep at night you crusher of little girl's thieves.

I hope you can sleep at night is a sarcastic expression used when someone has done something wrong or cruel.

The real meaning is the opposite.

You're suggesting they shouldn't be able to sleep peacefully because of what they've done.

People also say, how can you sleep at night?

Or I don't know how you sleep at night to express the same thing.

And I ask him, I look them in the face and I say, how can you sleep at night knowing that you are ripping off working people?

Now, crusher of little girl's dreams is a creative insult Gru makes up.

It comes from a collocation to crush someone's dreams.

A collocation is when certain words frequently appear together.

Like the verb crush, which means destroy or ruin, forms collocations such as crush someone's dreams or hopes.

You can also crash in opposition or rebellion.

Any minute now means very soon, like it would happen at any moment.

For example, the bus should be here any minute now.

You can also hear any second now or any day now.

Check out these examples.

Is the ship ready yet?

Any minute now, just loading the last bit of cargo.

Ready or not, here I come!

I'm getting warmer any second now.

And he's going to college any day now.

Yay!

Stole them.

To stall means to keep people busy or distracted so something else can happen.

Gru is telling the minions to distract the kids and buy him time to figure out what to do.

To buy someone time is another way to say this.

Can't you stall?

Buy me some time.

I'm sorry.

I will buy you some time.

Let me ask you something.

When you are learning these new expressions with our lessons, can you count on your memory and use these words confidently in your next English conversation?

I don't want to be a crusher of your dreams, but the truth is, if you don't review the expressions we are learning today,

you are sure to forget them in hours or even minutes.

I've been there myself as an English learner, and we at RealLife English have also taught millions of English learners just like you.

And as a result, we created the perfect solution for you.

You only need 10-15 minutes daily for more natural English speaking.

Super easy.

and start getting a bit more fluent every day.

Now let's see how Gru will get out of this situation in our next scene.

Oh, okay, okay, alright.

That's enough of the magic show.

100

Aww.

101

Wait, did you hear that?

102

It sounded like the twinkling sounds of magical fairy dust.

103

It's the fairy princess!

104

She's coming!

105

Look!

106

It is

107

I, Groose Zinkerbell, the most magical fairy princess of all.

108

And I am here to wish Princess Agnes a very happy birthday!

109

How come you're so fat? Because...

110

My house is made of candy!

111

And sometimes I eat instead of facing my problems!

112

How come you have- Okay, time for cake!

113

Yay!

114

Do you know what this word means?

115

The one Margie used here.

116

Wait, did you hear that?

117

It sounded like the twinkling sounds of magical fairy dust.

118

Literally, if something is twinkling, it is shining softly, making a loud noise, or moving very fast.

119

To twinkle is to shine repeatedly, softly, then strongly, as if flashing on and off very quickly.

120

A night sky in a dark place appears to be filled with stars that twinkle, almost like diamonds in the sky.

121

But here Margie uses this word to describe the sound of magical fairy dust.

122

So it creates this magical feeling like tiny bells in the air.

123

Now listen to how Gru presents himself as the fairy princess.

124

It is I, Gru's Zinkerbell.

125

Gru Zinkerbell is a joke name combining Gru with Tinkerbell, the famous fairy from Peter Pan.

126

Gru is trying to invent a fairy princess right there, so he mixes his name with the most famous fairy he can think of.

127

It sounds silly, and some kids can see that something isn't right.

128

How come you're so fat?

129

How come is an informal way to ask why.

130

It's very common in casual speech.

131

How come you're late?

132

How come she didn't call?

133

How come we can't go?

134

It sounds more friendly and conversational than saying, why are you so fat?

135

Now listen to Gru's response.

136

Because my house is made of candy.

137

And sometimes I eat instead of facing my problems.

138

Here we have another really common collocation.

139

Face your problems.

140

To face your problems means to deal with them directly instead of avoiding them.

141

And this verb, face, appears in a lot of similar collocations.

142

Face your fears, face reality, face the consequences.

143

All right, now let's watch the final part of the scene where the mom of one of Agnes' friends appears

144

and tries to set him up with someone, meaning to arrange a romantic meeting.

145

free time.

146

Looks aren't that important to her.

147

No, Jails, that is not happening!

148

Seriously, I'm fine.

149

Okay, fine.

150

Forget Natalie.

151

How about my cousin Linda?

152

No!

153

Oh, oh!

154

I know someone whose husband just died!

155

I'm sorry, I did not see you there. Or there.

156

Let's look at the vocabulary from Gillian's awkward matchmaking attempts.

157

Hey there, Gru, Mr. Life of the Party!

158

Life of the Party is an expression for someone who makes a party fun and exciting, the most entertaining, energetic and social person there.

159

What's wrong with you, Tarrant?

160

You used to be the life of the party.

161

Next, she uses an expression most learners aren't familiar with, but that natives use all the time.

162

So, I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but my friend Natalie is recently single and...

163

Go out on a limb means to take a risk, especially by expressing an opinion or doing something without being sure it will be accepted or successful.

164

A limb is a tree branch.

165

So the idea of this idiomatic expression is that if you go out on a limb, you're in a risky position.

166

The branch could break.

167

Again, figuratively, it means you're taking a chance.

168

Check out these two examples.

169

I'm gonna go out on a limb here.

170

These are the guys that want me dead, correct?

171

It's nothing personal.

172

Wow, what a night.

173

You'll never guess what happened to me.

174

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you were sleepwalking.

175

Later, when Gru says, get off the limb, he's playing with this expression,

176

telling her to stop, to not even try making this suggestion, because he's not interested.

177

But just to let you know, to get off the limb is not a standard expression.

178

By the way, here we have a good opportunity to practice advanced pronunciation.

179

Listen to the way Jillian pronounces the words, go out on a limb.

180

Let's break that down.

181

First, the words out and on become out on.

182

That happens because in American English, the T sound between the two vowels often sounds like a soft D.

183

And the two words link together.

184

Next, on A also get linked.

185

So we hear on a, on a.

186

Finally, the B in limb is silent.

187

When pronounces this word, we just stop at limb.

188

By the way, this happens to other words in English that end in B, like com, lem, num, and others.

189

So the whole expression when linked together into one smooth phrase sounds like go out on a limb.

190

Go out on a limb.

191

This is what we call connected speech when words get cut, reduced, and linked in a natural English speech.

192

Let's try repeating after Jillian.

193

I'm gonna go out on a limb here.

194

I'm gonna go out on a limb here.

195

Now, have you ever heard this expression to refer to a person?

196

Come on, she's a riot.

197

A riot is slang, meaning someone is extremely funny or fun to be around.

198

Check it out.

199

You and stupid Petricks are a riot.

200

You are a riot and I love your costume.

201

She sings karaoke.

202

She has a lot of free time.

203

Looks aren't that important to her.

204

Looks in this context means someone's appearance, how attractive they are.

205

Jillian is saying the way someone looks isn't important to her friend Natalie, which at the same time is rather insulting to Gru.

206

Now, are you ready for the final and most important step of the lesson?

207

We're gonna take everything you've just learned, the new vocabulary and pronunciation, and put it into practice.

208

You'll watch the whole scene again, this time without any subtitles, and answer some quiz questions.

209

Let's do it!

210

No, no, no. What do you mean she's not coming?

211

I have a backyard full of these little girls who are counting on a visit from a fairy princess.

212

What does it mean to count on someone?

213

To trust them to do something?

214

To ask them for help directly?

215

To hope they might help?

216

Listen!

217

I don't want a refund!

218

I want the fairy princess!

219

Please!

220

Please!

221

I'm begging you!

222

You know what?

223

I hope that you can sleep at night, you crusher of little girl thieves!

224

Oh, oh!

225

When's the fairy princess coming?

226

Any minute now!

227

Yaaaaay!

228

What's another way to say stole? To buy time

229

with the twinkling sounds of magical fairy dust.

230

It's the fairy princess!

231

She's coming!

232

Book!

233

It is I, Cruz Zinkerbell, the most magical fairy princess of all.

234

And I am here to wish Princess Agnes a very happy birthday.

235

How come you're so fat?

236

Because my house is made of candy.

237

And sometimes I eat instead of facing my problems.

238

How come you have...

239

Okay, time for cake.

240

Yay!

241

Hey there, Gru, Mr. Life of the Party.

242

Hello, Jillian.

243

So, I'm gonna go out on a limb here.

244

What does go out on a limb mean?

245

To say something very obvious.

246

To say something risky.

247

To share a fun idea.

248

But my friend Natalie is recently single and...

249

No, no, no. Get off the limb right now.

250

No limb.

251

Oh, come on.

252

She's a riot.

253

If someone is a riot, what does it imply?

254

They're always making people laugh.

255

They're causing problems around them.

256

Or they're very energetic but quiet.

257

She sings karaoke, she has a lot of free time, looks aren't that important to her.

258

No, Jels, that is not happening.

259

Seriously, I'm fine.

260

Okay, fine.

261

Forget Natalie.

262

How about my cousin Linda?

263

Go.

264

Oh, oh, I know someone whose husband just died.

265

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
