Shadowing Practice: WE ADDED EVERYONE TO TOCA BOCA WORLD! - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
Guys, I wanted to make some cereal this morning,
2
but I can't find any milk.
3
Did you drink it, Vava?
4
No, I've been wondering where it is as well.
5
Maybe Karen took it all.
6
Why do you guys always have to blame it on me, guys?
7
I didn't touch the goddamn milk.
8
Don't worry, kids!
9
Milk is in safe hands.
10
Guys, did you hear that?
11
Was that Dad?
12
But I swear we haven't added him to Tokuboka World yet, I...
13
It can't possibly be him, right?
14
Yup, it's me!
15
And I'm the one who has all the milk in the world!
16
This is literally the first day in my life.
17
Welcome to Avocado Plays to Toca Boca World!
18
Don't you guys know?
19
In today's video, we're gonna add every single member of Avocado Plays to Toca Boca World.
20
Starting with me, I'm already being added!
21
Where have you been all this time, George?
22
Were you off getting milk?
23
Why is Mom all over the table?
24
Have you been over to Andy Red's house?
25
No, darling.
26
I've just been spending my time drinking milk, I swear!
27
Speaking of Andy Red, do you reckon we should add her next?
28
Yay, yay, let's definitely add Andy Red.
29
I'm so excited to add her.
30
Yay, I don't mind.
31
We can all add her together.
32
What?
33
You gonna add that old hag?
34
I would rather have Nana than her stupid face.
35
Okay, it's decided then.
36
We're gonna be adding Andy Red.
37
What was that?
38
Anyway, guys, let's design Andy Red before Mom kills Dad.
39
So first of all, let's choose the adult body since Andy Red is the same age as Mom.
40
And let's see what hair we can give her.
41
Maybe this hair would be nice.
42
What do y'all think, guys?
43
Yay!
44
But remember that since Annie Redd is Mom's twin,
45
she needs to have the same hair as her.
46
Well, in that case, I think we need to change Mom hair as well.
47
What don't you dare touch my hair?
48
I think it's okay that Mom and Annie Redd doesn't have the same hair as long as it looks similar, it's fine.
49
And the most important part is Annie Redd having red hair.
50
Yay, yeah, as long as you kids don't touch my hair.
51
Now that the hair is done,
52
we need to adjust her skin tone.
53
There you go!
54
Actually, kids, I think we should give her this body instead since she is an old cat.
55
But mom, she is literally the same age as you!
56
So if we're gonna give her this body,
57
then you're gonna be having it as well!
58
Ooh, fine, whatever.
59
You can make her look young.
60
But that's not gonna be accurate at all.
61
Okay, now for the face part.
62
Let's start with her eyes!
63
Maybe let's give her some angry eyes,
64
since Annie Red is always angry, like this evil one.
65
Yay, that one looks good.
66
But don't forget to change her eyebrow color.
67
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.
68
Now, let's change it to super dark red.
69
And also not to forget her angry mouth.
70
Let's give her this mouth off.
71
It will match her perfectly.
72
No, Mom, you're just trying to make her look ugly.
73
Fine, just design it yourself then.
74
And don't ask me for help again.
75
Guys, should we give her this one?
76
I think this closed mouth suits her better.
77
Because it looks more serious.
78
Guys, I think we should add this forehead wrinkle.
79
Because she is old.
80
You know what?
81
Yeah, I think we should.
82
It makes her look even more serious and grumpy.
83
Finally, you did depict her accurately.
84
Well, actually, Mom, we are gonna add that to all adults later.
85
So that means you will get it to HaHa.
86
Try to touch my face again,
87
and I will smack you with a guy at Beaton.
88
Now for the outfit.
89
What should we get her?
90
As long as it's a red suit, then we're good.
91
Okay, then.
92
What about these guys?
93
Nala looks ugly and too flashy.
94
Well, I guess you're right.
95
But what about these guys?
96
What if she looks like a Roblox bacon girl, lol?
97
Guys, let's not joke around anymore and get her a good outfit.
98
Yeah, you're right, bro.
99
Okay, now, what about these guys?
100
Nope to Pilot.
101
How about this?
102
Nope to Manly, okay, guys, what about this?
103
This is the last red suit here.
104
Well, I guess this looks the nicest,
105
and it matches her Roblox outfit the most,
106
even though it looks similar to mine.
107
Okay, then, let's give her this for now.
108
Guys, should we give her a hat?
109
I don't think so, let's just skip that.
110
Yeah, I agree.
111
Okay, what about Glass's guys?
112
I think we should just leave this bee,
113
because she looks perfect already.
114
Well, yeah.
115
Then Tadashi is done.
116
Hey, guys, thanks for adding me.
117
Welcome to Toko Boca Life.
118
We are so glad to have you, Annie Red.
119
Am I the only one who is not happy to have her?
120
Like, why do we have to have this old hand?
121
You're just lucky there's no boxing glove in this game.
122
Otherwise, I would send you to heaven by now.
123
Oh, yeah.
124
Is that so?
125
Do you wanna step outside and talk about it?
126
Yeah, you sure?
127
How's what you even gonna do, old hag?
128
Who you called old hag?
129
You're the old hag here.
130
I'll show you what an old hag is, let's go.
131
I'm gonna show this old hag a lesson.
132
Watch.
133
Come here, you coward.
134
Now catch my hands, you hag.
135
Hi-ya.
136
Whoa, this is gonna be interesting.
137
I'm gonna drink my milk while watching them fight.
138
Guys, we need to stop the fight before it's too late.
139
You're right, Baba.
140
Karen, are you gonna help us?
141
No, actually, I wanna watch too,
142
and eat my lunch, Lee.
143
I'll go join Dad in the garden.
144
Oh my god, this would be epic.
145
Bro, are we the only sane ones here?
146
I think so, let's go stop the fight before it's too late.
147
You're going down, sis.
148
Not if I hit you first.
149
Go, go, Auntie Red.
150
Come on, Mommy, you can do it.
151
George, why the heck are you supporting Auntie Red?
152
I, I, I mean, go,
153
go, Sarah, yeah, Sarah, woohoo.
154
Guys, please stop fighting.
155
You guys are sisters after all.
156
Hey, stop ruining our show, you two.
157
Yay, we're trying to watch a game here.
158
Are you guys serious?
159
They're literally fighting each other.
160
Yay, this isn't a boxing match.
161
This is our family.
162
But this is literally a boxing match.
163
Okay, enough, you two.
164
Both of you need to stop your quarrel and be friends right now.
165
I am never being friends with this old hag.
166
Okay, I've heard enough.
167
I have an idea about how to stop your quarrel.
168
Wait you do, Polina.
169
What's your idea?
170
In order for you to become friends,
171
you can need to work as a team.
172
Work as a team?
173
What do you mean by that, Polina?
174
Did you guys forget?
175
In the last episode, we designed the living room and the kitchen.
176
But the problem is that the upstairs is not done at all.
177
It doesn't match our house and looks nothing like our rooms on roadblock.
178
Which is why you two have gone and designed one of our rooms together.
179
SHARUAAAAAAA!
180
Oh my god, this is such a fantastic idea that we'll bring them together.
181
Well, I hope you guys have another fight.
182
And, while you guys are designing the rules,
183
I'm just gonna sit on the couch and watch TV and drink milk.
184
This is the best life ever!
185
Gosh, I love Tokaboka World so much!
186
Okay guys, good luck, and have fun,
187
and try to not kill each other in the meantime!
188
I believe in you, Annie, and Mama Jama.
189
Y'all can do it.
190
By the way, guys, that fight is really cool.
191
I hope you guys get mad at each other and have another fight that is even more epic.
192
Anyway, good luck.
193
Bye.
194
Well, I guess I have no choice.
195
Which rooms are we gonna design, sister?
196
Well, since this is Polina's idea, let's design her room.
197
And if something goes wrong,
198
then she's gonna have a terrible room.
199
You are such a bad mother.
200
Who do you call a bad mother, you old cat?
201
Wow, there's a lot of things we need to work on here.
202
Yay, there's a lot.
203
Oh, well, let's start by getting rid of all this stuff first.
204
Now much better.
205
Okay, then first of all,
206
we need to change the walls.
207
That's the floor, you dummy.
208
Oh, shut up, I know.
209
Anyway, then let's change the floor first.
210
What do you think of this, sis?
211
Girl, are you serious?
212
This?
213
This looks like nothing like the floor in Polina's room.
214
This is much better.
215
No, it isn't.
216
Yes, it is.
217
Uh, why do you keep fighting me?
218
No wonder your house looks so bad.
219
It's because of your awful taste.
220
What did you say?
221
Actually, it's because of his stubborn head.
222
Ooh, let's just choose this floor already.
223
Fine.
224
Then how about we just change the floor color?
225
Okay, yeah, that's better.
226
Maybe we should choose this for Polina's walls.
227
No, that looks like the bathroom.
228
We are designing Polina room, not the bathroom.
229
Oh, fine.
230
How about we make it the same as downstairs style?
231
Yeah, okay, that's a good idea.
232
Okay, first of all, Polina has a very nice big pink bed with a black headboard.
233
So let's add it.
234
What about this one?
235
Yeah, this looks kind of similar,
236
but are you sure we don't have any more similar one?
237
Oh, why are you always so annoying?
238
Oh, fine.
239
Then let's search some more.
240
See, there's no more pink beds.
241
Let's move on to her wardrobe beside her bed instead.
242
That's called a nightstand, you dumb-dumb!
243
Ooh, why do you always nitpicking me, you haggy-beady?
244
Brewachill, let's just get this done quickly and add this nice nightstand to match her bed.
245
Actually, yeah, that looks nice, I guess.
246
Okay, finally, we add her wardrobe.
247
Ooh, we should add this clothing rack to.
248
Now that's the big furniture done.
249
Let's add some plants and decorations to make her room nice.
250
Unlike her mother, I actually want the best for her.
251
Shut up, you haggy don't know nothing about parenting.
252
Oh, yay, then what is parenting, then?
253
To give them chores every time.
254
Ooh, this is a nice tiny plant.
255
Let's add it here.
256
Also, is there any studying desk that she had in her Roblox room?
257
I found her laptop here,
258
so we should definitely add it.
259
Nah, let's just add this gaming PC.
260
It's way cooler and better for her to record video.
261
Ooh, why are you always upstaging me and changing my things?
262
Because your style sucks, you zero IQ baboon.
263
Ooh, stupid old, always trying to sabotage me.
264
Anyway, I found this nice vanity,
265
just like the one she has on her room.
266
Let's add these and remove the PC since this can't fit anyway.
267
Hey, how dare you?
268
See, the laptop fits way better.
269
Ugh, fine.
270
You win this time.
271
Okay, then let's find a stool for her desk.
272
LOL ain't no way.
273
This looks like a garbage can, but you know what?
274
I'm fine with it.
275
Can we actually add outfits in these racks here?
276
OMG, I pressed something and whoa, what is this mode?
277
It's obviously for customizing clothes.
278
Wait, OMG, I can make a better outfit here.
279
Since you gave me this ugly suit anyway,
280
I will try make my own.
281
OMG, look, this is literally my outfit.
282
Hey, I'm not the one giving that suit.
283
Because if I am then,
284
you will be wearing a much more worse and ugly outfit.
285
OMG, I can literally put it on.
286
Damn, this is much cooler.
287
Yay, I like my new outfit.
288
We are not here to pick outfits,
289
but we are here to design rooms.
290
Ugh, fine.
291
But let's hang this one for now then.
292
Also, now that we know how to customize outfits,
293
We should add more outfits for her to wear.
294
Well, in that case, then let's design Polina's outfit.
295
To the wardrobe, we go, let's go.
296
Oh my god, this is literally her outfit, minus the avocado.
297
Yeah, this looks super nice and cute.
298
Now let's hang all of the other clothes here for now.
299
But now, what else does Polina need?
300
Duh, Oofy, her makeup.
301
That's what every teenage daughter needs.
302
Makeup.
303
She is too young for that.
304
What she really needs is a clock to wake her up on time for school.
305
Your kids must really hate you.
306
Perfect.
307
Now let's move this plant.
308
And while she would never be late for school again,
309
she also needs some paper and some pen for her homework.
310
Gosh, I'm not going to surprise if you end up in a nursing home later.
311
Anyway, what Polina really needs is a lightning for her to record videos.
312
Let's add it here.
313
Fine.
314
Also, we should add some curtains.
315
This white one looks nice.
316
Whoa, this room actually comes out nice.
317
Well, thanks to me.
318
Hey, how did this all about you?
319
I also helped.
320
Well, if it weren't because of me preventing you,
321
then Polina's room would look as ugly as a prison room.
322
Well, to be fair, yeah, lol.
323
Now that we actually did a good job,
324
sister, but the only thing I don't like here is that she got too much homework.
325
So let's take this away and buy her some makeup.
326
No, put it back.
327
She has to do her homework.
328
No wonder your kids hate you.
329
You are the world's most strictest mom.
330
Well, get your own kids,
331
then, before telling me on how to raise...
332
Okay guys, they must be done!
333
Let's go out and check how the room has come along!
334
Yeah, I'm sure it's gotta be great Polinas!
335
Hey, hopefully, they hadn't had a fight.
336
Are you serious guys?
337
Y'all are fighting again!
338
Yee, it's because your mom is too strict.
339
Cause all I want is to put makeup in your room,
340
but all she cares about is homework.
341
Stop teaching me how to raise my kid!
342
But even though you guys are fighting,
343
my room looks totally amazing!
344
I love it guys!
345
And, Woa, I love your new outfit, Annie Red.
346
Your outfit looks so great.
347
Thank you so much, my darling.
348
We can design you a new suit as well.
349
But only after I give you a beating.
350
I'm so happy that they're having a fight again.
351
It's time to eat my lunch,
352
Lee, and watch them fight again.
353
Even though they designed your room,
354
Polina, your plan still didn't work,
355
and they are still mad at each other's.
356
Don't worry, Vaba.
357
I have Plan B.
358
Plan B?
359
What is it?
360
There's only one person who could stop this fight,
361
and her name is Nana.
362
Are we about to have Nana?
363
Oh, yeah.
364
But before we do, we also need to add Sunny.
365
So how about we ask Dad to design her,
366
since he is chilling and doing nothing right now.
367
Wait, no need guys, cause Lemmy designed Sunny instead.
368
Are you sure you can make her pretty?
369
Because Sunny is the prettiest girl I ever seen,
370
therefore you better not ruin her career.
371
Don't worry, Kaka, you can trust me.
372
Hey, how dare you call me Kaka?
373
Okay, so first let's choose the older body,
374
and then let's choose a nice hair for our lovely Nana.
375
Whoa, this looks nice, but sadly, it's multicolored.
376
Oh my God, this one even looks nicer.
377
Let's just use this one.
378
I agree, sis, it looks perfect already.
379
Now, let's change your eyebrows to gray as well.
380
Then for the eyes, let's do a super kind-looking eye since Nana is so kind-hearted.
381
Also, since Nana is very old,
382
then we should add her wrinkles.
383
Just like this.
384
Now that her face is complete,
385
the only thing left is her clothing.
386
I think for clothing, we should just custom design her outfit.
387
So for now, we show skip that.
388
And instead, let's give her glasses.
389
What do you think of this one, bro?
390
Now, this one doesn't look like hers.
391
What about this?
392
Two round!
393
What about this box one?
394
Yeah, I think this one is the best for her.
395
Okay, so let's give her these grandma pants.
396
Oh my god, this is literally her pants.
397
And what about this knitted tops that look very grandma-like?
398
Although I like it, but it doesn't look like Nana Roblox outfit.
399
What about this gray top instead?
400
Nope, this looks weird.
401
Yeah, you're right.
402
What about this?
403
Oh my god, this looks like the Wednesday shirt.
404
But yay, this looks fine, I guess.
405
Also look, I see a bunch of better pants here.
406
Ooh, yeah, let's try this one.
407
Yay, it's good, but I think we should try this one too.
408
Oh my god, yes, this is even better.
409
Let's definitely use this one.
410
And now, let's add this grandma's shoes.
411
Ooyay sis, this is so pink.
412
Also, let's add her some jewels like this bracelet.
413
Oh my god, Nana is so fancy. And flexi!
414
Flexi Nana, oh yeah.
415
Yay Nana is done!
416
Okay, let's see if she can stop the fight, you old hag.
417
Oh ye then, at least I'm not a bad mom like you.
418
No, I'm not you dumb bad.
419
Stop right there, you be.
420
Mom, is that you?
421
I've heard that both of you keep on fighting.
422
Sarah and Bed, you are sister.
423
But my name is not Bed, Mom.
424
See this frying pan in my hand?
425
Do you all want me to smack your heads, huh?
426
No. No. Mom, my name is Bed.
427
You're totally right.
428
Good.
429
So both of you better stop fighting cause I don't want to see or hear about another fight of you guys today.
430
Or else I'm gonna send you to Mars using my frying pan.
431
Okay, mom, we will be best friends.
432
Well done, kids!
433
Anyway, I bet that you haven't been feeding my grandkids all day.
434
So I'm gonna go to the kitchen and make them some pancakes.
435
Would you guys like them with jam?
436
Or berries, my dear?
437
With jam, Nana!
438
We love your pancakes!
439
Okay, see you guys later!
440
We just designed Nana, but I think we are forgetting about something.
441
Gosh, you really did have a memory of a goldfish.
442
Did you really forget that we asked Karen to make Sunny for us?
443
Oh, that's right.
444
I wonder how that turns out.
445
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Sunny.
446
Guys, whoever designed, you need a designing lesson.
447
Is that monster hell?
448
No, my baby, but it's me.
449
You don't even recognize me.
450
Karen, do you even know what Sunny looks like?
451
Oh, FC, I did.
452
Don't you see?
453
Her tops and pants match her exactly.
454
Yeah, that's true.
455
But what the heck is going on with her hair?
456
It's all blue.
457
Indeed, my haircut is wrong.
458
And somehow there's a melted ice cream stuck on my hair.
459
Isn't this amazing?
460
You look totally stunning.
461
You called this totally stunning?
462
Vava literally ran away when he saw me.
463
He doesn't even recognize me.
464
We were supposed to have a date together at the restaurant here.
465
Is that so?
466
Did Karen just ruin your date?
467
Hear, hear.
468
Don't cry, Sunny here.
469
Have some of my lunch leave.
470
And come on, guys, you'll never appreciate what I do here.

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.
