1
faster don't let him get away from us he's heading straight for the forest let's go
2
but the king rode so fast nobody could keep up with him and he found himself all alone deep in the
3
I'm the prisoner of the forest.
4
I can't see the sky.
5
I'm really lost.
6
I've got to find my way home.
7
There's somebody out there.
8
All your troubles will be over.
9
There's no need to be afraid.
10
Tell me, please, kind lady, do you know a way out of this forest?
11
Why, of course, your highness.
12
I have lived here in this forest for all of my life.
13
Very good.
14
If you show me the way out of here, I'll give to you anything that you might ask of me.
15
Well, there is one little thing that I have in mind that you can do to make an old lady happy.
16
Tell me what I can do to make you happy.
17
Well, I know you're lonely since your queen died and my daughter's as fair as any in the land.
18
Meet my daughter your bride and I will gladly show you the way out of the forest, Your Majesty.
19
But I have not even met her.
20
Why, she's at her home.
21
Right over there!
22
And lo and behold, there appeared a beautiful,
23
sparkling castle in the woods the king could hardly believe his eyes oh it glistened with stars
24
it is such an honor to meet you your highness oh
25
no the honor is all mine fair maiden well what do
26
you think she'd make a fine wife well your daughter is certainly a most beautiful lady
27
but there's something strange about her eyes What?
28
Marry my daughter and grant me my wish.
29
Then I will show you the way out of the forest.
30
She will bring great pleasure to you and your family.
31
What shall I do?
32
Or would you prefer instead to stay imprisoned in the forest for all of eternity?
33
You leave me no choice.
34
I will marry her.
35
Ha!
36
It's done, then.
37
Long live king and queen.
38
On his wedding day, the king presented the queen to his children.
39
My dear children, greet your new mother.
40
What lovely children.
41
How pleased I am to meet all of you.
42
This is your new mother now.
43
You must make her welcome.
44
What is wrong with you?
45
They must be shy.
46
I just know we're all going to get along.
47
Would you like to give your mother a kiss?
48
Well, what about you?
49
Don't be afraid. And you? Are you?
50
What?
51
Do you mean me?
52
Well, I'm not kissing her.
53
Oh, she looks mean.
54
She does.
55
You imbeciles!
56
How dare you defy me!
57
Do as your mother says!
58
Oh, I'm afraid!
59
That's enough!
60
You children may be excused.
61
She'll never be our mother.
62
I don't like her.
63
Your children are all so charming.
64
And that night, the king retired to his study with a very heavy heart.
65
He was deeply disturbed.
66
And while the children slept, the queen wandered throughout the castle, casting her shadow, spreading her evil.
67
The king became alarmed and ran to see if his children were safe in their beds.
68
But safety was not to be found that night.
69
Please, my daughter, wake up!
70
Children, watch out!
71
All of you stand back here, next to me.
72
I'll take care of you!
73
Hurry, children, run away!
74
Quick, the guards will destroy it!
75
it's getting away it's heading for the forest are your children all right yes you'll be safe now
76
but father it was so frightening
77
that awful monster was just about to eat me tell me how did
78
that giant snake make its way into our bedroom
79
when i had firmly closed the windows uh will it come back father not
80
if i can help it the children are afraid of a
81
snake what i shouldn't have agreed to the marriage are you
82
sure you'll be all right father what should we do i think it would be a very good idea
83
if all of you children went to stay in our castle in the forest for a little while
84
and so the next day the king and his family rode into the forest
85
This yarn weaver is going to guide us to the castle.
86
What fun!
87
Without this spindle, no one will ever find you, especially the queen.
88
I will be the only one to visit you.
89
Father, promise us you won't ever invite her to the castle, all right?
90
And not for any reason whatever, sir.
91
You have my promise, just as she had my promise to make her my queen when I was trapped in the forest.
92
It was my only way out, and kings cannot break their promises to anyone, even witches.
93
Unbeknownst to them, the queen was brewing up a magic spell.
94
Cabra -cadabra -cadabra -cadabra -cadu.
95
Show me your evil magic ways and lead me to do what I must do.
96
And with her magic needle, the queen began to sew seven magic shirts with which to cast her evil.
97
When the king returned to his castle in the village,
98
he hid his spindle in a safe place meanwhile back
99
at the castle in the woods father is here what did somebody say father's come back
100
the evil is revealed what happened to our father I've made some gifts for you, children.
101
No!
102
Quick, brothers, run!
103
Hurry!
104
Here!
105
Oh, no!
106
I'm coming away!
107
Oh, brothers, help me!
108
Oh, no!
109
So the six handsome princes were turned into six lovely swans.
110
And with this, the kingdom belongs to me.
111
Now I will return back to the king and be the most powerful woman in the land.
112
But in her haste, the queen forgot to count the swans and overlooked the princess. Is it you, father? Can it be?
113
And later, on a dark and stormy night.
114
Oh, my poor brothers, where are you?
115
The princess walked and walked and walked until she could walk no more.
116
Oh, my.
117
I'm afraid I'll never see my brothers again.
118
Oh, it's the swans.
119
My brothers, is it really you?
120
Yes, it is, dear sister.
121
Oh, but how did you get to be like this?
122
We were changed into swans through an evil spell cast by the wicked queen.
123
I'm afraid we'll never be humans again.
124
Oh, no, but there must be something to stop this evil spell that's been put upon you.
125
That evil witch has made it very hard.
126
Nothing is too hard if I can help my brothers.
127
I'll do anything I must do.
128
You just have to tell me anything, whatever it might be.
129
There's only one way.
130
But it will be a great strain on you, sister.
131
It means for six years you will be obliged never to speak to anyone or laugh out loud.
132
And during that time, you must sew six shirts made from chrysanthemum flowers.
133
And if you let one word fall from your lips, all your work will be to no avail.
134
Yes!
135
I will, my dears.
136
I will do all of those things to save the brothers I love.
137
For six years, I will not utter a sound or laugh.
138
And I'll sew six shirts out of flowers for you, and I give you my solemn promise I will break the spell by doing all of this for you.
139
You can depend upon me, my brothers.
140
I'm afraid we must go now, my dear sister.
141
Oh, are you leaving?
142
Goodbye, brothers.
143
See you in six years.
144
You can count on me.
145
I promise I will be waiting.
146
As the seasons changed, the princess kept her promise, talking to no one, nor laughing out loud,
147
sewing chrysanthemum shirts, day in and day out, through each passing season.
148
Well, what is it?
149
Up there on the tree, sire, it appears to be a young maiden sitting.
150
So there is.
151
Young lady, what on earth are you doing up there?
152
Don't you know it's dangerous?
153
Come down from here before you hurt yourself.
154
She's beautiful.
155
She is very lovely.
156
Please help her down And be very careful not to hurt her She looks fragile Will you let us assist you?
157
The prince took the silent princess Back to his castle And made her his bride
158
Why do you spend all your time sewing?
159
Now that you're my wife You don't have to do
160
that for yourself We have many servants who can do that for you Now, can't you just stop sewing for one day for me?
161
It must be very important.
162
But why won't you ever talk to me or laugh or even smile at me?
163
You know you can always trust me.
164
Oh, it's all right.
165
Don't worry, dear.
166
I'm just happy to have you as my wife.
167
and within six years you must sew us six shirts made from chrysanthemum flowers
168
and if one word falls from your lips all of your work will have been for nothing
169
another season passed and the princess kept her vow of silence and continued to sew
170
a prince is born a prince is born we have an heir for the kingdom Sire,
171
a queen from a nearby kingdom has arrived to present her blessings to the baby.
172
The witch?
173
She's the one that turned my brothers into swans.
174
Why is she here?
175
We are honored to have you celebrate with us on this most joyous occasion.
176
Why, what a pretty princess and such a beautiful child you have.
177
Allow me to bestow upon you my blessings for a long and happy life to you both.
178
May I hold the child?
179
My little...
180
What?
181
Aren't you happy to see me?
182
Don't be shy.
183
I know you won't talk or laugh in this kingdom.
184
I know all about it, and I know that it won't do you any good.
185
Now that I found you, there's nothing you can do to save your brothers, so you might as well give it up and talk to me.
186
And I'll tell you something else, dear princess.
187
It's about your father.
188
He's dead.
189
Now forget this stupid silence, because it won't do you any good at all to fight me.
190
Go ahead.
191
Why don't you talk?
192
Or shall I cut out your stupid little talk?
193
You see, when your father had learned of his children's death, his heart collapsed.
194
Why don't you have a good cry about it and break your silence?
195
You'll feel better.
196
Come on now, dear.
197
Surely you can shed some tears of grief for your mother.
198
Father dead?
199
It can't be true.
200
No!
201
Oh!
202
Oh, no!
203
Come back here next to me.
204
I will not let her harm my child.

214
Prince, I know this is difficult, but there is only one way to destroy a witch.
215
You must hurry and make the arrangements, or else this witch will destroy your entire kingdom.
216
You must burn her at the stake right away.
217

218

219
Prepare the fires to burn the witch.
220

Waarom deze video perfect is om Engels te leren met video's
De dialoog in "The Six Swans" is een prachtig hulpmiddel om je spreekvaardigheid te verbeteren. De natuurlijke conversaties, met emotionele tonen en verschillende sprekers, bieden een realistische context die je helpt om Engels niet alleen te leren, maar ook te voelen. De korte zinnen en duidelijke structuur maken het ideaal voor beginners en gevorderden die hun uitspraak willen polijsten. Bovendien is het verhaal boeiend, waardoor je gemakkelijk in de flow komt โ een cruciaal element voor effectief leren.
Diep in de dialoog: 3 natuurlijke zinnen en waarom ze werken
- "You leave me no choice." Deze zin toont een veelgebruikte structuur voor onvermijdelijkheid. De kortere woorden en de sterke intonatie (op "no choice") maken het eenvoudig te herhalen, terwijl het een universeel scenario weergeeft โ perfect voor dagelijks gebruik.
- "What is wrong with you?" Een typische vraag in gesprekken, met een informele toon die past bij emotionele momenten. De klinkers ("wrong", "you") zijn duidelijk te articuleren, en de structuur helpt je om vragen met nadruk te stellen zonder overcomplicaties.
- "I just know we're all going to get along." Deze zin combineert vertrouwen met een toekomstige verwachting. De samengestelde werkwoorden ("going to get along") leren je hoe je complexe ideeรซn eenvoudig uitdrukt, terwijl de intonatie op "just know" een warme toon geeft โ essentieel voor natuurlijke communicatie.
Praktische routine: Schaduwspraak om je uitspraak te verbeteren
Om de shadowing techniek effectief toe te passen, volg deze stappen: 1. Kijk de video een keer zonder geluid om de gezichtsuitdrukkingen en context te begrijpen. 2. Speel een korte fragment (5-10 seconden) af en herhaal direct na de spreker โ probeer de intonatie, tempo en volume na te bootsen (dit heet "schaduwspreekt"). 3. Neem jezelf op terwijl je herhaalt en vergelijk met de originele audio. Let op punten waar je uitspraak afwijkt, zoals klinkers of medeklinkers. Herhaal dit dagelijks voor 10-15 minuten, en je zult al snel merken dat je Engels vloeiender en natuurlijker klinkt. Deze methode helpt niet alleen je uitspraak, maar ook je luistervaardigheid en reactietijd.
Met deze video en de juiste oefeningen kun je op een leuke en effectieve manier je Engels verbeteren โ probeer het vandaag nog!
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop โ als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1โ2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert โ waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
