Luca is a young sea creature who lives underwater with his family.
17
He's always been curious about the surface world but has been warned that it's dangerous.
18
One day he meets another sea creature named Alberto, who already lives on land in secret.
19
When sea creatures go above water, they magically take on human form so no one can tell what they really are.
20
The two become fast friends
21

27
In the scene we're about to watch, Italian town of Porto Rosso.
28
There they meet a girl named Giulia, who quickly becomes their friend and invites them to stay at her house.
29
Giulia spends every summer in Porto Rosso with her father Massimo, and each year she takes part in a local race.
30
This year, though, things are different.
31
Massimo is a fisherman, and lately he hasn't been catching many fish.
32
Because of that, excited to join the race with her as a team decide to help out.
33
They offer to work for Massimo so they can all raise the money together.
34
Oh, there you are!
35
Buongiorno!
36
Alright, ragazzi.
37
You want that entry fee?
38
You've got to earn it.
39
Juliette, you make the delivery.
40
I'm already making up.
41
Ciao!
42
You two are coming with me.
43
Which knife do I get?
44
Huh?
45
Huh?
46
You don't.
47
Buongiorno Massimo!
48
You keep an eye out for those monsters, right?
49
We're all counting on you!
50
Don't worry, Tommaso.
51
I've got my speeled.
52
They won't get away.
53
Mmm.
54
- - Hey, this isn't a joyride.
55
Make yourselves useful.
56

79
Alright, so now we are going to analyze all the advanced vocabulary we just saw highlighted in blue.
80
And if your goal is to learn these expressions and never forget them, so you can actually use them when you speak,
81
then you'll want to practice with this lesson on our own app.
82
It really helps you become more fluent because on there, You don't just watch the lesson, you engage, interact and practice with the vocabulary.
83
So, just click the link in the description below to continue from there.
84
Oh!
85
There you are!
86
"Bongiorno !" "Alright, ragazzi, you want that entry fee?
87
You've got to earn it !" You probably noticed a few Italian words in the clip.
88
That's because the movie takes place in a small Italian town and using the local language adds some nice cultural flavor.
89
Words like "bongiorno" or "ciao" might already sound familiar.
90
They are often used in Italian music, movies, and even in everyday conversations around the world.
91
But if you haven't heard them before, don't worry, I'll explain what they mean along with some useful English expressions from the scene.
92
"Oh, there you are!
93
Bongiorno !" "Alright, ragazzi, you want that entry fee, you've got to earn it !" "Bongiorno" is Italian for "good morning".
94
Massimo addresses the boys as which corresponds to the English "guys" or, in this case, "kids".
95
You want that entry fee?
96
You've got to earn it!
97
Entry stands here for entering or joining a race.
98
To participate in a race, they need to pay an entry fee.
99
It's a payment required to enter or take part in something.
100
When you work hard for something instead of getting it for free, you earn it.
101
In everyday English, people often say things like "you earned it" to show respect or admiration when someone deserves what they got,
102
like a price, success or even a rest.
103
And of course, you may use this word literally when talking about earning money.
104
Check out these two examples from The Simpsons.
105
How can I earn money to buy the world's most awesome thing?
106
You could deliver newspapers.
107
Kids don't deliver newspapers anymore.
108
Thanks, Mr. Beck.
109
I was alone out there, but someone was riding with me in spirit.
110
This is for you, Dad.
111
No, son.
112
You earned it.
113
"I'm on it !" is another great conversational phrase.
114
It's a quick way of saying "I'll take care of it".
115
Check out this other example.
116
Jack, Jack, Jack!
117
Oh, God!
118
My ankle!
119
Sir, my ankle!
120
Oh!
121
Bonjour, Tomasso!
122
You keep an eye out for those sea monsters, right?
123
We're all counting on you!
124
Don't worry, Tomasso.
125
I've got my spiel.
126
They won't get away.
127
The other fisherman is saying that they count on Massimo to keep an eye out for sea monsters, meaning to watch for them carefully,
128
to look out for them with particular attention.
129
See this example.
130
Whatever.
131
Keep an eye out for this woman, she's the one coming to meet the bird.
132
And if a person counts on you, they trust you to do something important, they rely on you.
133
to trace, find, sea monsters.
134
This is an interesting phrase, let's hear it again.
135
Don't worry, tomato, I've got my eyes peeled.
136
What do you think it means to get your eyes peeled?
137
Does it mean to have your eyes well rested during the night sleep, to keep your eyes open and watch carefully,
138
or to wear special contact lenses for better eyesight?
139
you .
140
The correct answer is B.
141
When you keep your eyes peeled, you are staying alert and paying close attention to something.
142
It sounds very similar to keeping an eye out for something.
143
Okay everybody, keep your eyes peeled for an unlit milepost, mark 23 or 36 or something.
144
If we miss it, we're dead.
145
Hey, this isn't a joyride, make yourselves useful.
146
A boat ride can be joyful, but Massimo reminds them this isn't playtime.
147
They're here to work.
148
So a joyride is a fun or spontaneous trip you can take with your friends to have some good time.
149
I took it for a joyride.
150
It's another way of saying "stop standing around and get to work".
151
This is a phrase you would probably hear a lot from your parents
152
or elder siblings when they want you to stop being lazy or stop wasting time.
153
Look, make yourself useful and go keep watch.
154
Puss, do you think you could get to those on top?
155
Look at the hell with these old clothes.
156
Yeah, I've got flyers to make.
157
Well, I might as well make myself useful.
158
Hey, no goofing around back there!
159
When you are goofing around, you are playing, joking or being silly, instead of being serious.
160
"Goofing" is related to the word "goofy", which became popular thanks to the Disney character Goofy in the 1930s.
161
Goofy is a fun silly character, he's always a little clumsy and playful.
162
Because of him, Goofy started being used to describe someone acting silly or foolish.
163
Now, before we jump into the next scene, I wanted to review some of the words we learned today.
164
Let's see how well you can remember them.
165
What does the phrase "keep an eye out for" mean?
166
Thank you.
167
you It means to watch something carefully.
168
How about the phrase "I'm on it"?
169
Does it mean I caught a lot of fish, I understand what you're saying, or I'll take care of it.
170
The correct answer is C, to take care of something.
171
Now let me ask you: Do you believe you'll remember all of this a week from now?
172
How about a month from now?
173
If you're not confident, you can say yes, that's okay.
174
Most learners just like you go through this very problem.
175
I'm actually here to tell you We've got you covered!
176
We created our own app exactly to help you review and practice what you learn from these lessons.
177
It's the best way for you to expand your active vocabulary in English
178
and speak more naturally without constantly pausing to remember the word or translate in your head.
179
For every lesson like this one, we create flashcards with all the most important expressions so you can study them using an innovative technology called spaced repetition,
180
which view new words.
181
right when you're about to forget them so that you remember them forever.
182
If that's something you want to be able to do, I'm going to leave a link in the description below for
183
you to access the Real Life English app for free now and continue practicing with this lesson from there.
184
Let's go!
185
The sea monster aided.
186
What?
187
Ma, no. This is how I came into the world.
188
Whoa.
189
Manajan, not a great catch today.
190
It might be because we're over a haunted fish graveyard.
191
We know it's not haunted.
192
The fish think it's haunted.
193
This time of day, most fish will be right about there.
194
Hmm...
195
Ciao, Julia!
196
Ciao!
197
Ha ha!
198
You personal best!
199
Oh, Santo Pecorino.
200
Your friends do no fish.
201
Benissimo!
202
Let's go sign up!
203
Now, let's break down the vocabulary from this scene.
204
The sea monster aided.
205
What?
206
Ma, no. This is how I came into the world.
207
Massimo says that he was born like that.
208
To come into this world is just a poetic way to refer to your birth.
209
Although he speaks with an Italian accent, he says this phrase with nice, connected speech.
210
Let's listen to it again.
211
"The sea monsterated"
212
The R sound from "monster" links to the next vowel: "monsterate"
213
And the same happens to the T sound in "ate" which connects to "it" - "ate it".
214
So we hear "Monsterrated".
215
Let's listen again and repeat after him for practice.
216
A sea monster aided.
217
All right.
218
the sea monster age.
219
"Managgia" is Italian for "dang it".
220
When something goes wrong, this word helps you express your frustration.
221
In this scene, a catch means the fish they managed to catch, but they didn't catch very many.
222
But a catch can also have a different meaning when talking about a fish a person.
223
If someone says "you're a catch" it means they think you're a great partner to have.
224
It means you're valuable and desirable, just like a great fish in the sea.
225
Check out this example from The Simpsons. For realsies?
226
It's true.
227
You'd be quite a catch if you'd just shower and shave and stop swearing under your breath.
228
As we learned, Luca and Alberto are sea creatures, so they know the underwater world and all its places.
229
Like in this scene, they knew exactly they were over a haunted fish graveyard.
230
And that's why they didn't have a great catch.
231
It might be because we're over a haunted fish graveyard.
232
Picture a classic Halloween scene.
233
or a graveyard that makes your skin crawl.
234
When something is haunted, it is believed to have ghosts or spirits.
235
and a graveyard is a cemetery, a burial place.
236
So they're saying that they are over this haunted place where there are only bird fish and no live fish to catch.
237
We know it's not haunted.
238
The fish think it's haunted.
239
This time of day most fish will be right about there.
240
This time of day.
241
Did you pick up on how Alberto pronounced this phrase?
242
Let's give it another listen.
243
This time of day, gets reduced to just a schwa sound.
244
and then the M sound from time connects to it.
245
So what we hear is Time a day.
246
Time a day.
247
Listen and repeat.
248
This time of day This time of day, this time of day.
249
When Alberto says "right about there", do you think he's pointing to the exact spot?
250
just somewhere close.
251
The word "about" in this context means he's not being 100 % precise.
252
He's given an approximate location.
253
It's a way of saying "around the area" instead of pointing to an exact place.
254
So when someone says "about" while giving directions, they're hinting that the place is near or close to that spot, but not necessarily exactly there.
255
Ha ha!
256
You personal best!
257
Santo Pecorino...
258
Sh!
259
Sh!
260
Your friends do know fish.
261
Julia just beat her own record.
262
Personal best is someone's best achievement so far.
263
Oh.
264
3 minutes 40 seconds a new personal best!
265
324 miles an hour that's that's a new personal best boss!
266
Santo Pecorino and Benissimo!
267
Two more Italian words that we have a chance to learn today.
268
Santo Pecorino is a playful exclamation,
269
literally it's translated as holy Pecorino type of cheese and benissimo translates as excellent or very good
270
Your friends do know fish.
271
Benissimo!
272
Let's go sign up.
273
Now, Massimo confirms that Julia's friends do know fish.
274
We use the verb "do" as an emphasiser here to confirm
275
that they really know a lot about fish and where to catch it.
276
Your friends do know fish.
277
Finally, the kids have earned it.
278
It's time to pay the entry fee and sign up or register for the race.
279
That was an amazing lesson and now it's time to test your comprehension by watching the scene one more time, this time without subtitles, and answering some of our quiz questions.
280
Oh, there you are!
281
Buongiorno!
282
All right, ragazzi.
283
You want that entry fee?
284
You got to earn it.
285
Juliette, you make the delivery.
286
I'm on my...
287

288

289

290
Which knife do I get?
291

292

293

294
Buongiorno, Massimo!
295
You keep an eye out for those sea monsters, right?
296
We're all counting, are you?
297
Don't worry, tomato.
298
I've got the minds peeled.
299
When you watch something carefully, you have your eyes filled,
300
peeled, Split you you They won't get away.

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.
