Oh!
2
You okay?
3
Help him!
4
Bob, come on!
5
No, no, we got it!
6
Friday, what am I looking at?
7
Not sure, I'm working on this.
8
Hey!
9
You might want to put that time stone in your back pocket, Doc!
10
You might want to use it.
11
In this scene from the Avengers Infinity War, two members of the group of villains known as the Children
12
of Thanos come to New York City to capture the Time Stone.
13
At this point, Thanos has two of the six Infinity Stones, and he's looking to complete his collection of stones to gain unlimited power.
14
However, the masters of the mystic arts, Doctor Strange and Wong, and the Avengers themselves, Tony Stark and Doctor Banner,
15
are set on keeping the stone in safe hands.
16
If you're new here, you will first watch the clip with subtitles in English, then we will teach you all of the most important vocabulary,
17
pronunciation, and cultural context before moving on to the next clip.
18
Finally, you will test everything you learned by watching all the clips without subtitles and answering some quiz questions.
19
Are you ready?
20
You better pack it up and get out of here.
21
Stone Keeper, does this chattering animal speak for you?
22
Certainly not, I speak for myself.
23
After trespassing in this city and on this planet.
24
It means get lost, Squidward.
25
He exhausts me.
26
Bring me the stone.
27
Lost him.
28
Ben, you want a piece?
29
No, not really, but when do I ever get what I want?
30
That's right.
31
I get it.
32
It's been a while.
33
It's gonna be good to have you, buddy.
34
Okay, shh.
35
I'm just...
36
I need a car to drive for a second.
37
Come on, come on, Max.
38
Where's your gun?
39
I don't know.
40
It's never been having a thing.
41
There's no time for a thing.
42
That's the thing right there.
43
Let's go.
44
Dude, you're embarrassing me in front of the wizards.
45
I'm sorry.
46
I can't or he won't.
47
I don't- Hey, stand down.
48
Keep an eye on him.
49
Thank you.
50
I have a- Him.
51
Where'd that come from?
52
It's nanotech.
53
You like it?
54
A little something like that.
55
Dr. Banner, if the rest of your green friend won't be joining us.
56
You gotta get that stone out of here now.
57
It stays with me.
58
Exactly.
59
Bye.
60
Hear me and rejoice.
61
You are about to die at the hands of the children of Thanos.
62
At the hands of is a phrase
63
that we use to say someone is going to receive some kind of suffering or unpleasant treatment from someone else.
64
Many people have died at the hands of the gang members.
65
To rejoice means to feel or show great joy or delight.
66
If you rejoice at something, you feel extremely happy.
67
He rejoiced at our victory.
68
Tonight we rejoice.
69
We rejoice!
70
In the context of the Avengers, this villain is accustomed to using this phrase at the beginning of a speech, as we see earlier in this movie.
71
Hear me and rejoice, for even in death you have become children of Samus.
72
any of our new lessons.
73
Literally, something that is meaningless has no meaning.
74
These symbols are apparently meaningless.
75
However, we especially use this word to say that something doesn't have a clear purpose or importance.
76
I've been working for 10 years now at this meaningless, dead-end job and nobody here even knows that I exist.
77
Chandler?
78
And of course, for the opposite meaning, we say meaningful.
79
How do you think it's gonna look when you get her something incredibly meaningful
80
and expensive and her boyfriend Joey gives her an orange?
81
Tony then tells the villains to pack it up and get out of here.
82
To pack or to pack up means to put things into cases or bags before going on a trip.
83
But if you say something like, let's pack it up, you're saying let's leave.
84
Said in the imperative, this is usually a way to tell someone in an insulting way that they should go away.
85
Get out of here is also a common phrase we use to say leave, especially in an emphatic manner.
86
As a verb, to chatter means to talk quickly in a friendly way without stopping, especially about things that are not serious or important.
87
Example, we were chattering about the events of last night.
88
If animals chatter, they make short, high-pitched sounds.
89
This is why he describes Tony in an insulting way as a chattering animal.
90
On the other hand, if you say for example,
91
I speak for myself, you're making it clear you're expressing an opinion or feeling that's yours and not anyone else's.
92
In the same way, when you speak for someone else, you're expressing the thoughts and opinions of another person.
93
Furthermore, we also often say that we speak for everybody, for all of us, etc. when we're confident that everybody agrees with what we're saying.
94
when I wish them a lifetime of happiness.
95
Isn't learning English so much easier when you have fun doing it?
96
Well, if you enjoy our methodology for teaching English
97
and you want to take your native fluency and comprehension to the next level, then I highly recommend our Fluent with Friends course.
98
You will master American vocabulary, pronunciation, cultural context, and so much more.
99
And you can get a free try of that right now with our three-part mini-course.

101
Trespassing in this city and on this planet.
102
Means get lost Squidward.
103
To trespass means to go onto someone's private property without their permission.
104
Where are you going?
105
The backyard.
106
We'll take this picture really quickly and then we'll just get out of here.
107
No, let's just wait for them to come home.
108
Okay, that trespassing...
109
No, it's not.
110
We used to live here.
111
I don't...
112
Get lost is a rude way to tell someone to go away or to stop annoying you.
113
She's no longer my friend.
114
I told her to get lost.
115
Then, Tony calls the villain Squidward.
116
This is a character from the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants and he's making fun of him because they look similar.
117
Lastly, notice how Doctor Strange uses two prepositions, in and on, when he says in this city and on this planet.
118
If you find the use of the prepositions in, on, and at difficult, you might want to check out this lesson we made.
119
To want a piece of someone means to want to fight them.
120
Manny, I'm talking to you, you want a piece of this?
121
Ow!
122
What was that for?
123
Looks like I gave you a piece of this.
124
What the hell?
125
I was just offering you some apple crumble!
126
It's been a while.
127
A while is an unspecified period of time.
128
When we say, it's been a while, we mean that a long time has passed since you last did something.
129
We usually follow this up with since.
130
It's been a while since I read an actual newspaper.
131
Missed that sound.
132
Where's your gun?
133
I don't know, it's sort of been having a thing.
134
Banner here is saying that he's been having some problems with the Hulk.
135
He's addressing this issue in a very vague and general way, so that's why he refers to it as a thing.
136
Example, he and his wife have been having a thing, so she's going to stay at her sister's apartment for a while.
137
Dude, you're embarrassing me in front of the wizard.
138
I can't or he won't.
139
In legends and fairy tales, a wizard is a man who has magical powers.
140
A famous wizard you've probably heard about is Harry Potter.
141
Tony is referring to Doctor Strange and his friend.
142
He is being humorous and making fun of their superpowers as they are not actually wizards.
143
As Banner is trying to summon the Hulk, he says either I can't or he won't.
144
Besides being the negative version of Will to express a future action, won't is very very commonly used to say that someone doesn't have the intention of doing something.
145
This use doesn't actually involve a sense of the future tense.
146
Then we use the words either and or together in a sentence or phrase to indicate two ideas or possibilities.
147
Example, I either drink tea or coffee in the morning.
148
I'll either get an iPhone 8 or one of those high-end Samsung phones.
149
If you tell someone to stand down, you're telling them to relax after they've gotten ready to do something.
150
To keep an eye on someone or something is an idiom that means to watch someone or something carefully, paying attention that nothing bad happens to that person or thing.
151
In fast speech, DID is often reduced or modified.
152
In this case, the speaker only pronounces it as a D sound.
153
We can see other instances of this reduction after question words like what, when, where, or how.
154
As you saw, we can even express this informally in writing with an apostrophe and D.
155
Where'd, what'd, when'd.
156
Be careful to not confuse this with would, which we also express with an apostrophe D.
157
You can tell the difference by the context.
158
What did you have for dinner?
159
What did you like for dinner?
160
When did you get home from the concert?
161
If you went to the concert, when did you get home?
162
It's nanotech, you like it?
163
This is short for nanotechnology, which is the science of building machines at a subatomic level.
164
Alright, so now it is time to test everything that you learned by watching the full scene without subtitles.
165
And we will be challenging you even more by stopping it periodically to ask you some different quiz questions.
166
Be sure to let us know how you did by sharing your score down in the comments below.
167
Hear me, and rejoice.
168
You are about to die at the hands of the children of Thanos.
169
Crasher.
170
Be thankful that your meaningless lives are now contributing to the balance- I'm sorry, Earth is closed today.
171
You better pack it up and get out of here.
172
Stone Keeper, does this chattering animal speak for you?
173
Does this chattering animal speak for you?
174
Certainly not, I speak for myself.
175
I've been trespassing in this city and on this planet.
176
He needs to get lost Squidward.
177
He exhausts me.
178
Minia.
179
Bring me the stone.
180
Lost him.
181
Ben, do you want a piece?
182
No, not really, but when do I ever get what I want?
183
But when do I ever get what I want?
184
When do I ever get what I want?
185
That's right.
186
Yeah.
187
It's been a while.
188
It's going to be good to have you, buddy.
189
Okay.
190
I need a gun to try there for a second.
191
Come on.
192
Come on, Max.
193
Where's your gun?
194
I don't know.
195
It's sort of been having a thing.
196
There's no time for a thing.
197
That's the thing right there.
198
Let's go.
199
Give me the shot!
200
Dude, you're embarrassing me in front of the wizards.
201
I'm sorry.
202
I can't or he won't.
203
It's okay.
204
Hey, stand down.
205
Keep an eye on him.
206
Thank you.
207
I love him.
208
I need you to kill.
209
I need you to kill.
210
I need you to kill.
211
I need you to kill.
212
Damn!
213
Where'd that come from?
214
Where'd that come from?
215
Where'd that come from?
216
It's nanotech, you like it?
217
Alright, so now you can go and really test your learning by watching the full Avengers Infinity Wars movie.
218
And hey, Endgame is coming out really soon too, and we'll definitely be making a lesson with that, so be sure that you subscribe so you don't miss that.

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.
