1
Hiya!
2
Are you ready to learn a ton of useful expressions with the brand new Zootopia movie?
3
Well, stick with us because today we'll follow Detective Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde,
4
who is now a police officer,
5
going on an undercover operation to crack a case in this shady shipyard.
6
Now, you should know this lesson comes with its own vocabulary flashcards covering all the different expressions that you learned today,
7
like the words undercover and shady
8
that you just saw highlighted in blue practicing with these flashcards
9
is the easiest way for you to remember these words forever
10
if
11
that sounds interesting to you just click the link in the
12
description below right now it'll take you directly to our app
13
the real life app where you'll be able to start your
14
vocabulary practice right after the lesson are you sure this will work you're the one
15
that said we needed a bust just follow my leave okay
16
act casual hey here we go hello this whole area is restricted you can't be here whoa fox
17
and bunny okay yes
18
but proud parents first mr inspector inspector snootley inspector what do you do ensure
19
that nothing illegal gets smuggled here in one of these cargo containers that's a weird way to ask
20
that anyway you gotta leave there can't be here oh Wait, wait.
21
He's right, gosh darn it.
22
You are right, sir.
23
I guess we should have thought this through, right, babe?
24
Before we decided to come down here to this beautiful industrial shipyard to celebrate the big day of our birthday boy.
25
Alright, now let's break down the advanced vocabulary we just saw.
26
So in this scene, Nick and Judy are working undercover,
27
meaning they're disguising themselves as regular civilians instead of showing their police officers.
28
Kinda like a spy will do if you remember the James Bond movies, for example.
29
So they're trying to crack a case that involves some criminal activity in a shady shipyard.
30
To crack a case is an informed expression that means solving a criminal investigation,
31
and shady refers to someone or something that looks suspicious.
32
Are you sure this will work?
33
You're the one that said we needed a bust.
34
Just follow my lead, okay?
35
The word bust has multiple meanings in English,
36
but in law enforcement, it refers to an arrest,
37
the act of catching a criminal.
38
Check out this other example.
39
Everybody freeze, this is a bust!
40
And just so you know,
41
a bust can also mean something broke or failed,
42
like, my phone is busted,
43
or the plan was a bust.
44
Now, what do you think this other expression Nicky used mean?
45
Are you sure this will work?
46
You're the one that said we needed a bust.
47
Just follow my lead, okay?
48
If someone tells you to follow your lead,
49
they want you to do exactly what they are doing.
50
It's like saying, let me guide this situation and you copy my actions.
51
See this example.
52
Hands on your hips, now follow my lead.
53
You fool.
54
Go ahead.
55
Okay, just follow my lead.
56
Act naturally.
57
So Nick follows with another everyday expression natives use
58
that you would definitely expect to hear in a movie with detectives being undercover.
59
Act casual.
60
Hey!
61
Here we go.
62
Act casual means to behave in a relaxed,
63
natural way, trying to appear like everything is normal.
64
Well, just act casual.
65
Casual.
66
Casual.
67
Right.
68
Okay.
69
Totally.
70
Uh oh, can't I?
71
Don't panic.
72
Just act uh, act real casual.
73
Yeah, just act casual.
74
Mr...
75
Inspector!
76
Inspector Snootley!
77
Inspector!
78
What do you do?
79
Ensure that nothing illegal gets smuggled here in one of these cargo containers?
80
To smuggle means to illegally transport products across borders or into restricted areas,
81
usually to avoid taxes or laws.
82
Smugglers hide contraband items like drugs,
83
weapons, or stolen goods to sneak them past authorities.
84
And a cargo container is a large metal box like this,
85
used to transport goods on ships, trains, or trucks.
86
That's a weird way to ask that.
87
Anyway, you gotta leave, you can't be a hit!
88
Wait, wait.
89
He's right, gosh darn it.
90
You are right, sir.
91
Gosh and darn it are euphemisms,
92
that is like softer versions of stronger words that people use when they want to avoid cursing.
93
Gosh is a lighter version of God,
94
as in, oh my God,
95
and Darnit is a lighter version of Dammit.
96
People use these when they're frustrated but want to keep their language clean,
97
especially around children or in polite company.
98
I guess we should've thought this through, right babe?
99
Nick is pretending they didn't plan properly,
100
acting like a regular parent who made a silly mistake.
101
That's what he means by,
102
we should've thought this through.
103
If you think something through,
104
you carefully consider all aspects of a plan or decision before acting on it.
105
Like you analyze the consequences in details instead of acting impulsively.
106
Let's find your dad!
107
No, no!
108
No, not yet.
109
They'll kill Toothless.
110
No, Astrid, we have to think this through carefully.
111
By the way, let me just take a moment to tell you
112
that if you don't review the expressions that we're learning today,
113
you might forget them pretty quickly.
114
I mean, most learners don't really think this through.
115
It's almost impossible for you to retain so much knowledge without revisiting it and putting it into practice.
116
So to help you with that,
117
we've created a set of flashcards that is a really fantastic tool for internalizing what you learn from all of our lessons.
118
And today you can get the ones from this lesson with Zootopia 2 for free on our app.
119
So the reason why this works is because we put science and the right technology behind it.
120
Basically, the app knows the exact words you've learned from all lessons,
121
and just when you're about to forget a particular expression,
122
we bring it back to you for review and practice.
123
It's that easy.
124
And using it for just 10 to 15 minutes a day,
125
wherever you are, will help you start speaking English naturally and have all these words at the tip of your tongue.
126
So click the link in the description below to try the RealLife app right now for free
127
and start getting a bit more fluent every day.
128
Alright, now let's take a moment to practice some pronunciation.
129
I noticed here a really simple but actually quite advanced pattern Nick used,
130
which if you learn will help you sound a lot more fluent.
131
Check it out.
132
Before we decided to come down here to this beautiful industrial shipyard.
133
This is a beautiful example of connected speech,
134
which refers to the way that natives cut and link words together when you speak.
135
And this is happening in a pattern that really you could expect to hear from any native.
136
We decided to come down here to this, here to this.
137
Notice how he didn't say come down here to this,
138
but rather here to this with a fast D sound.
139
So basically all those words get linked and the T sound in two becomes a fast D sound.
140
Listen to Nick saying it again and try to repeat.
141
We decided to come down here to this, here to this.
142
Now let's continue watching with subtitles the second part of the scene.
143
A customs inspector would be even better.
144
Really?
145
Alright, for the kid.
146
For the kid.
147
Oh, you're a saint.
148
Well, thank you so much.
149
Here you go.
150
Either leg.
151
Or both.
152
I don't care.
153
Maybe put a doodle on it.
154
Doesn't need to be perfect.
155
He's also legally blind.
156
Oh, look at you go.
157
AHHHHH!
158
I put a little train there because I know you like trains.
159
Come on, come on, come on.
160
Just jiggle, yes, I know.
161
Hurry, I got this.
162
Jiggle it, jiggle it, jiggle it.
163
Hobson, whoa!
164
You are not authorized.
165
Stand down and wait for backup.
166
Toot, toot.
167
Here's the fuzz!
168
Stop!
169
Stop in the name of the law!
170
Everybody run!
171
Well, you can't win them all.
172
Get out of the road, you dumb bunny!
173
Agree to disagree.
174
My hog rod!
175
This is a snail breed!
176
Pops and Wild in pursuit of suspect and a stolen catering van heading east.
177
Heading east through Shitshire.
178
And you know the one thing this little stinker wished for,
179
aside from one day getting his tail reattached,
180
was to see a choo-choo.
181
Stinker is an affectionate, playful term for someone,
182
usually a child or a pet,
183
who's troublesome or adorable in an impish way.
184
It's not actually about smelling bad,
185
it's a term of endearment.
186
Aside from one day getting his tail reattached,
187
was to see a choo-choo.
188
To reattach means to attach something again that was previously separated or removed.
189
Nick is creating an elaborate emotional backstory about his fake son losing his tail in an accident,
190
making Spectre's newly feel sympathetic so he let his guard down.
191
And to maybe get a toot-toot conductor to sign his cast.
192
A cast is this type of hard protective covering,
193
usually made of plaster or fiberglass that doctors put around broken bones to keep them immobilized while they heal.
194
If you break your arm or leg,
195
you'll likely wear a cast for several weeks.
196
And signing a cast is a common tradition where friends,
197
family, and even kind strangers write messages,
198
draw pictures, or leave their signatures on someone's cast as a gesture of support and well wishes.
199
But I'm betting a customs inspector would be even better.
200
Customs refers to the government agency that regulates what goods enter or leave a country.
201
When you travel internationally, you go through customs,
202
where officers check your luggage and documents.
203
A customs inspector is an official who works for customs.
204
Maybe put a doodle on it.
205
Doesn't need to be perfect.
206
He's also legally blind.
207
A doodle is a simple casual drawing,
208
often something you draw without paying so much attention,
209
without much planning or skill required, like an informal sketch.
210
And by the way, here we have another opportunity to practice some connected speech.
211
Listen to how he said this.
212
Maybe put a doodle on it.
213
Maybe put a doodle on it.
214
That's another case of a T sound turning into a fast D sound in put a becoming put a.
215
Then he keeps going and connects all the following words like this.
216
Put a doodle on it.
217
Put a doodle on it.
218
Fun, right?
219
Let's try to repeat.
220
Maybe put a doodle on it.
221
Maybe put a doodle on it.
222
Anyway, so Nick is keeping the Spectre focused on the Flaycast,
223
asking him to draw something simple,
224
all while Judy investigates the cargo containers behind him.
225
Mmmmm.
226
Toot toot.
227
It's the fuzz!
228
Stop!
229
Stop in the name of the law!
230
And the name of the law is a formal,
231
dramatic phrase used by law enforcement when commanding someone to stop or submit to authority.
232
It means, by the authority granted to me by the law,
233
or I'm ordering you to stop because that represent the law.
234
I'll cut you now!
235
Stop!
236
No!
237
Got you!
238
Well, you can't win them all.
239
Get out of the road, you dumb bunny!
240
Agree to disagree.
241
Agree to disagree is a polite phrase used when two people have different opinions and neither will change their mind,
242
so they decide to accept that they simply see things differently and move on.
243
It's a way to end an argument respectfully.
244
For example, you could say,
245
I think the movie was great,
246
you think it was terrible,
247
let's just agree to disagree.
248
My hog rod!
249
This is a funny play on words.
250
So a hot rod is slang for a customized car,
251
usually an older model, that's been modified for speed and performance.
252
But the civilian yells, my hog rod,
253
instead of hot rod, because he's a pig character in Zootopia.
254
It's a pun combining hog,
255
a word for pig, with hot rod.
256
The movie is full of these animal based puns and wordplay.
257
Alright guys, now here comes the most important part of the lesson.
258
We're gonna test your comprehension by watching everything again,
259
the whole scene, without any subtitles this time,
260
and I'm gonna ask you some quiz questions to check how well you've understood everything.
261
Are you ready?
262
Let's go!
263
Are you sure this will work?
264
You're the one that said we needed a bust.
265
Just follow my lead, okay?
266
Act casual!
267
Hey!
268
What is Nick asking Judy to do?
269
behind him in a line,
270
trust his plan and copy his actions, lead the investigation herself.
271
Nothing illegal gets smuggled here in one of these cargo containers?
272
That's a weird way to ask that.
273
Anyway, you gotta leave.
274
You can't be a hit.
275
Wait, wait.
276
He's right, gosh darn it.
277
You are right, sir.
278
I guess we should have thought this through.
279
Right, babe?
280
What does it mean to think something through?
281
To think something through means to carefully consider all aspects of a plan before acting on it.
282
Before we decided to come down here to this beautiful industrial shipyard to celebrate the big day of our birthday boy.
283
It's his birthday?
284
Yeah, first one since the accident.
285
And you know, the one thing this little stinker wished for,
286
aside from one day getting his tail reattached,
287
was to see a choo-choo and to maybe get a toot-toot conductor to sign his cast.
288
But I'm Betting a customs inspector would be even better.
289
What is the role of a customs inspector like Snootley supposed to be?
290
To design and build cargo containers?
291
To check goods entering and leaving?
292
To drive ships in and out of the shipyard?
293
Really?
294
All right, for the kid.
295
For the kid.
296
Oh, you're a saint.
297
We thank you so much.
298
Here you go.
299
Either leg.
300
Or both.
301
I don't care.
302
Maybe put a doodle on it.
303
Doesn't need to be perfect.
304
He's also legally blind.
305
Oh, look at you go.
306
I put a little train there because I know you like trains.
307
Come on, come on, come on.
308
Just jiggle, yes, I know.
309
Hurry!
310
I got this!
311
Jiggle it, jiggle it, jiggle it!
312
Hops and walls!
313
You are not authorized!
314
Stand down and wait for backup!
315
Toot toot.
316
It's the fuzz!
317
Stop!
318
Stop in the name of the law!
319
Everybody run!
320
Well, can't win them all.
321
Get out of the road, you dumb bunny!
322
Agree to disagree.
323
My hog rod!
324
This is a snail breed!
325
Cubs and Wilde in pursuit of suspect and a stolen catering van heading east.
326
Stop it! heading east through Sheetshire.
327
Aw yeah guys, great job.
328

329

330

So if that sounds like something that you want to be able to do,
333

334
Okay, not what I had in mind.
335
All right, just a few more blocks.
336
We're almost to our new house.
337
Step on it, Daddy.
338
Why don't we just live in this smelly car?
339
We've already been in it forever.
340
Well, it actually was really lucky,
341
because that gave us plenty of time to think about what our new house is going to look like.
342
What?
343
Let's review the top five daydreams.

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.
