Shadowing Practice: Learn ENGLISH with Anne with an E - Learn English Speaking with Video

- Oh, now it's coming.

- And...

Take these lessons to Gilbert Blythe.

He'll be missing class for a time and I don't want him falling too far behind.

He's my best student.

Why is he missing class?

That is none of your concern.

Now hurry along.

Scat.

It's been a while, but we are happy to return to a wonderful world of Anne from Green Gables.

Now in this short clip we just watched, we saw The teacher is asking Anne a favor.

He wants her to bring some lessons to a student who has been missing classes so he doesn't fall behind.

In this context, it refers to Gilbert's studies, but you can also use it regarding your work projects.

Why is he missing class?

That is none of you're concerned.

Now hurry along.

"Scat !" What the teacher said, it was none of Anne's concern.

What he actually meant is that she shouldn't be bothered by it, so she shouldn't be asking questions.

It's the same as saying "it's none of your business".

And finally, he ends up being very rude to Anne by telling her to scat.

"Sket" means "go away" and it is often said to animals like cats.

You will learn these words and many other words and expressions in today's lesson.

And if you want to remember them forever, you should also use our flashcards.

tell you more.

So let's get into the lesson by first watching the clip with the subtitles and then learning with it.

Finally.

Sorry to make you wait.

Gilbert, He's out back chopping wood.

- Thank you.

What wonderful red hair.

You're the Cothpards' new charge, aren't you?

Yes.

I've heard nice things about you.

And how is Marilla?

Still feisty, I hope?

Thank you.

Dad.

What are you doing?

You shouldn't be walking.

My son worries too much.

It seems this young lady has urgent business with you.

I'll go inside now.

I'll offer you, Sharon.

I'll go on my own.

Thank you, son.

It's nice to meet you.

Give my kind regards to Marilla.

I will.

Of course, Mr. Blythe.

Now, in this scene, you see Anne and Gilbert.

Their relationship in the show is a complex and captivating journey from childhood rivals to eventual soulmates.

Their initial interactions are marked by playful academic competition.

A soulmate is someone who completely understands you and with whom you feel a deep connection.

When you find your soulmate, it might feel like you've known each other your whole life.

even if you just met.

Sorry to make you wait.

He's out back, chopping wood.

What wonderful red hair.

Remember that the setting of "and with an e" is the late 19th century, so chopping wood would have been a common chore.

Back in the day, wood was the primary source of fuel for heating homes and cooking.

So, chopping is cutting wood into smaller pieces.

You may know the construction of what an adjective + noun, like in "What a wonderful day" or What a great idea!

You may have noticed, though, that there was no article in this sentence.

"What wonderful red hair !" Why so?

"Hair" is an uncountable noun.

We don't usually count it, so we cannot say "a hair".

Another common example would be "What great news" instead of "What a great news".

However, you can use the word "peace" to make it countable.

"What a great piece of news".

By the way, a variation of such red hair is called auburn.

Auburn hair has this darker, reddish -brown color.

You're the Cuthbert's new charge, aren't you?

Yes.

A new charge, that's how Mr. Blythe called "an" is a slightly old -fashioned word.

In the modern English, in the context of adopting a new child, you would use the words like "a new adoptee" or "a foster child".

Still feisty, I hope.

- Did you hear the word house in his question?

Well, that's because "how is" is said with a connected speech here, and it really sounds like the word "house" just with the /z / sound.

House and House Marilla And how is Marilla?

So feisty, I hope?

Do you happen to know some woman, maybe among your relatives, who would have a strong,

personality and show such qualities as determination, and independence.

Well, you might fairly call her feisty.

Feisty is also someone full of energy.

and not easily intimidated.

Arthur.

Have you always been this feisty?

- - She's feisty.

I love that.

- Yeah.

- She's dead.

What are you doing?

You shouldn't be walking.

My son worries too much.

It seems this young lady has urgent business with you, Heil.

Sometimes you cannot understand what natives ask you because exactly in the questions there are so many patterns of connected speech.

That's why it's so important to learn them.

So, let's break them down.

100

Dad, what are you doing?

101

The T sound stands between the two vowels and turns into a D sound - water.

102

What are you?

103

You gets reduced to я.

104

"What are ya?" "Doing" loses its nasal sound at the end, so it's just the "end" sound that we hear.

105

doing.

106

Listen and repeat.

107

What are you doing?

108

What are you doing?

109

Dad.

110

What are you doing?

111

you "My son worries too much.

112

It seems this young lady has urgent business with you, huh?" If you have some urgent business with someone,

113

you have important matters with them that require immediate attention.

114

Here in the scene we can see that it was used with a touch of irony because… Obviously, there is some

115

connection developing between Anne and Gilbert and it was so

116

Why is it of Mr. Blythe to use this trick and not to embarrass young people?

117

Go inside now.

118

Oh, for two, Sharon?

119

Uh, I'll go on my own.

120

Thank you, son.

121

You would more commonly hear the word "thatch" in British English.

122

It means to go and get something.

123

The most common usage today is in the context of training dogs to fetch objects like balls or sticks.

124

And here's Larry from the "Night into the Museum" movie asks, a dinosaur to thatch a bone.

125

- All right.

126

Bitch.

127

Go inside now.

128

I'll offer you a chair.

129

No, I'll go on my own.

130

When you do something on your own, you do it without help or assistance from others.

131

The combination of letters T + Y

132

often results in the sound /č / and that's what happens in this common phrase Nice to meet you.

133

So, let's practice saying it together.

134

"to" is reduced to "ta" - "nice to" nice to and meet you is pronounced as Me too.

135

Nice to meet you.

136

It's nice to meet you.

137

It's nice to meet you.

138

Give my kind regards to Marilla.

139

Well, the phrase "give my kind regards to someone" was commonly used in letters,

140

but it was also pretty appropriate in face -to -face conversations.

141

especially in such historic setting.

142

In modern English we may say this instead: Give my best to: Sound one.

143

Say hi to...

144

someone for me.

145

Tell someone I said hello.

146

Check out these expressions in the examples.

147

Give my best to Roger.

148

Beth.

149

Bye, Dad.

150

They had to drop Lepinski for me.

151

Tell him I said hello.

152

So now let's have a short break

153

and I will tell you how you can use our flashcards to learn

154

and review all the words and expressions from today's lesson.

155

Do you remember the meaning of the words fetch and feisty?

156

If you want to understand these words next time you watch a movie in English

157

or next time you have an English conversation, I have a perfect solution for you.

158

free on the RealLife app.

159

It's the perfect way to review and remember all the important vocabulary from this lesson.

160

We use something called the spaced repetition system.

161

It's like a smart algorithm that knows when you're about to forget a word

162

and brings it back for review right on time.

163

Just regularly practice for 10 -15 minutes

164

and you'll always have the right words at the tip of your tongue when you need them in real conversations.

167

168

- That was for me?

169

- I...

170

- I'm sorry.

171

Well, uh...

172

It's kind of you to bring them by.

173

Mr. Phillips doesn't want you falling behind.

174

I don't either.

175

You're gonna beat me in class.

176

I want you to do it fair and square.

177

- Yeah.

178

Yes.

179

Exactly.

180

Um, thank you.

181

I'll see you.

182

Thank you.

183

So we know from the scene that Anne was asked by their teacher to bring some books to Gilbert, right?

184

What's the difference between bringing the books and bringing the books by?

185

I'll give you a moment to think.

186

"Bring something by" is a more casual way to say "deliver", to bring it to a specific place and it often suggests a friendly gesture.

187

It may also apply a short visit.

188

In many cases, bring and break by can be used interchangeably without significantly changing the meaning.

189

Well, uh...

190

Kind of you to bring them by.

191

Mr. Phillips doesn't want you falling behind.

192

I don't either.

193

Gilbert thanks Anne for bringing the books by saying "it's kind of you to bring them by".

194

It's the same as saying "thank you for being so kind" and "bringing my books".

195

Other examples would be: "It's very kind of you to offer your help".

196

It was really kind of you to pick me up from the airport.

197

It was so kind of you to take care of my plants while I was away.

198

Do you remember why the teacher asks Anne to bring those books?

199

We have the same phrasal verb here,

200

so just to review, to fall behind means not to keep up with the pace or make less progress than others.

201

Mr. Phillips doesn't want you falling behind.

202

I don't either.

203

By saying "I don't either", Gilbert means that he doesn't want to fall behind too.

204

So "either" or another variant of pronunciation is "either" is used in negative sentences instead of "also" or two.

205

Let's practice it with some other examples.

206

Respond to me by using the word "either".

207

I don't like horror movies.

208

I haven't watched Dune episode 2.

209

you I didn't go to the party last night.

210

"If you're gonna beat me in class, I want you to do it fair

211

and square." The phrase "beat someone" is often associated with the competition and a desire to be the best.

212

"Nice to meet you." "Actually, we met." You beat me the other day.

213

Gilbert says he wants to beat Anne fair and square.

214

That means without cheating.

215

The idiom "faired square" combines two words with meanings that reinforce each other.

216

"Fair" means "honest" and "square" means "following the rules".

217

I didn't overrule you on the other.

218

I beat you fair and square.

219

No!

220

You didn't.

221

You're right.

222

I cheated.

223

Like you.

224

Amazing job, guys!

225

I'm sure you'll nail today's test.

226

So let's watch the clip one more time without subtitles and answer some quiz questions.

227

- Kind of.

228

Sorry to make you wait.

229

Gilbert, He's out back chopping wood.

230

What was Gilbert doing when Anne came to visit him?

231

Walking in the wood, making fire with wood, cutting wood in smaller pieces.

232

you you What wonderful red hair.

233

Thank you.

234

You're the cost -person you charge, aren't you?

235

Yes.

236

I've heard nice things about you.

237

And how is Marilla?

238

Still feisty, I hope?

239

A person described as feisty is someone who gets into fighting a lot.

240

It's full of energy and determination.

241

Looks extremely healthy and well.

242

Bye.

243

you Dad, what are you doing?

244

You shouldn't be walking.

245

My son worries too much.

246

It seems this young lady has urgent business with you.

247

I'll go inside now.

248

I'll offer to you, Sharon.

249

I'll go on my own.

250

Thank you, son.

251

It was nice to meet you.

252

Give my kind regards to Marilla.

253

I will.

254

Of course, Mr. Blight.

255

- All right.

256

What is the phrase?

257

Give my kind regards to me.

258

It is a polite way to say "Tell someone I said hello" That was for me.

259

I...

260

- Oh.

261

- Thank you.

262

Well, uh...

263

It's kind of you to bring them by.

264

Mr. Phillips doesn't want you falling behind.

265

I don't either.

266

By saying "I don't either", Gilbert means that he thinks that he will fall behind due to missed classes.

267

Will not fall behind despite the missed glasses.

268

doesn't want to fall behind because of missed classes.

269

you .

270

you You're gonna beat me in class.

271

I want you to do it fair and square.

272

- What do you hear?

273

fair and square Fair not square.

Very scared.

286

that I'm being guilted into marrying truly likes me or not.

287

If my attitude offends you, I do apologize.

288

It was not my intent.

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 — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 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 — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
