Creating lesson...
1
Ah, I don't want to go to school.
2
Uh, Seoyoung, hi~ She's pretty.
3
I wish I were as pretty as Lee Hee-ru.
4
What's your ideal type?
5
Well... uhm... someone like Yeonji...?
6
Let me guess, the one with red hair?
7
Yeonji. Yeonji, did you just arrive?
8
Yeah. We were just talking about you. Would you like to go out and eat some food next time?
9
Food? Yeah.
10
Or, it can also be just two of us going out to eat.
11
I'm good with anything.
12
Can we... keep in touch?
13
So... um... I'll contact you?
14
Okay. You didn't look so happy these days.
15
If something happens, contact me.
16
Thank you. I need to do something.
17
Guys, what are you doing?
18
Well, we're just spending out time.
19
You remember the concert I mentioned two weeks ago?
20
Lee Hee-ru's solo concert...
21
Ah, isn't it freaking hot here?
22
The fan is so annoying these days.
23
Isn't the look of it already irritating?
24
It's freaking old-fashioned and embarrassing.
25
So funny. The fan?
26
What fan are you talking about in midwinter..?
27
Freaking hilarious.
28
Yeonji, don't you know what a fan is?
29
Ah, nevermind.
30
Hey, let's talk about something else.
31
The fan might explode.
32
Fan's so funny.
33
Check the chat, Seonhye.
34
Huh, Chanyo? He's not that great.
35
It's been ages since I ended with him.
36
Hey, but Chanyo was the kindest.
37
Freaking funny.
38
What was the ideal type of Seonhye?
39
Ah, Park Seoyoung, you forgot again.
40
Check the chat.
41
Ah, him? I don't like him, he's not my type.
42
It's better that way since our types don't overlap.
43
This is so funny.
44
Ah, this isn't the right group chat.
45
Han Ri-an, seriously.
46
Ah, right. Hey, Chanyo. I'm saying you try to work things with him again.
47
Yeonji, today mom... have something so I can't get home in the evening...
48
Take the side dishes out from the refrigerator to have dinner.
49
Seriously, why is the fan so annoying?
50
Fan? It's switched off.
51
No, you dummy. I'm talking about Cho Yeonji.
52
That's what I'm talking about. She's out of our sight right now.
53
Way better this way.
54
Agreed. She's an eyesore.
55
And you know, Cho Yeonji's ugly and even gloomy.
56
Yeah, she's freaking ugly.
57
It's so embarrassing to have her around.
58
Doesn't she look so much like an outcast? Am I the only one who thinks so?
59
Huh, then are you going to let her join us if she turns pretty?
60
What the, like she's ever going to get pretty.
61
Well, if she does, I might think about it.
62
By the way, why does Cho Yeonji keep flirting with Heo Taeahn?
63
Don't tell me that she doesn't know that Seoyoung likes Heo Taeahn?
64
No, I'm sure she knows.
65
She's doing it on purpose though she's aware of it.
66
Seoyoung's pretty.
67
Look at Taeahn.
68
He's handsome and comes from a nice family.
69
So she must be doing it deliberately as she knows her life will turn around if she dates him.
70
So freaking like Lee Hee-ru.
71
The celebrity?
72
The idol Lee Hee-ru?
73
Her dating scandal with a man from a rich family came out and she's not showing up anywhere right now.
74
Hey, but Lee Hee-ru's still pretty. Cho Yeonji's ugly.
75
That's not quite right.
76
Well, it may not sound right to Yeonji, but, it's still fun for us, right?
77
A fan?
78
What a ridiculous thing to say, a fan in midwinter.
79
Gosh, I'm ugly.
80
I want to be as pretty as Hee-ru.
81
How can I sell this?
82
Lee Hee-ru's albums are on sale.
83
7,000 won per album.
84
If you buy all of them, I'll let you pay only 50,000 won.
85
Did Lee Hee-ru's album get sold?
86
It's sold...
87
I'm sorry...
88
I'm sorry...
89
The buyer's being a bit late.
90
It's a little scary here as it's a bit remote.
91
Should I just leave?
92
Are you here to buy...
93
Why are you selling them?
94
Ah, they are in really good conditions though.
95
I really treasured them as I was a big fan of her...
96
But why did you drop the honorifics when it's our first time meeting...?
97
No, I'm asking why you are selling them.
98
You don't like Lee Hee-ru anymore?
99
You don't like her dating scandal?
100
Or her character isn't good enough?
101
Huh? No. There's something I must buy, but I don't have money...
102
But it never means that I'm not her fan.
103
Of course, you might feel offended as another fan though.
104
Oh, wait. It must have been hard for you to come this far.
105
Oh my. What a kind girl.
106
So anyway, you're still my fan, right?
107
Ah, of course...
108
Lee Hee-ru!
109
Would you like to talk with me for a moment?
110
Wow, this picture still existed.
111
But doesn't my facial line look so ugly in this picture?
112
Don't talk bad about Lee Hee-ru...
113
Oh, you're Lee Hee-ru.
114
Anyway, so you're making your own move as the number of your fans reduced a lot...
115
The number of my haters is increasing and so does the number of those who sell my merch.
116
I've endured it for some time, and I decided to come by myself.
117
I was curious to see who sells it and why.
118
It was nice that we met though.
119
Anyway, your friends are awful.
120
That's so similar with my current situation.
121
You're similar with me?
122
This is so unfair.
123
I don't have a boyfriend.
124
I'm not seeing anyone.
125
But they're saying I'm marrying a rich guy or something.
126
Ridiculous.
127
No. You're pretty, and I'm...
128
ugly... No, you're really pretty. Do you really have to put on makeup?
129
Yeah, I've got to.
130
I should become pretty no matter what.
131
That way, I think I'll be a little happier.
132
Do you know how to do makeup?
133
I have no idea.
134
Do you want me to teach you? How to do makeup?
135
Yes. Have you ever been to a celebrity's house?
136
No. This is a celebrity's dressing table.
137
No need to be nervous.
138
Don't be nervous, we're going to start now.
139
Hold up your face.
140
But why do people talk so much behind others' back these days?
141
What have I done so wrong to spread such false rumors?
142
I'm not nervous...
143
Oh.. that wasn't what I was going to say..
144
Take off your glasses.
145
Why are you doing makeup anyway?
146
Do you have a crush?
147
A crush...?
148
You have one.
149
I'll make you look fascinating.
150
This is the foundation.
151
It's going to smoothen your skin texture.
152
It's YSL. The expensive one.
153
There you go.
154
I'm going to do contouring to make your nose look high.
155
Cool tone..? Warm tone...?
156
Cool tone! Tada. These are brown-colored lenses.
157
These would look perfect on you.
158
When your crush looks at you, he's going to make a confession right away when he looks at these eyes.
159
Wow, the color looks so pretty.
160
Yeah, very pretty.
161
Right, blush.
162
I almost forgot about blush.
163
I'm now going to conceal your dark circles.
164
Perfect. I should get going now.
165
Look how clumsy I am.
166
You're going to do your schedule?
167
Yup. Ah, do you have Instagram?
168
Yeah, I do.
169
Shall we follow each other? There must be a reason why we met each other like this.
170
Yeah, I'd love to.
171
You can take cosmetics with you.
172
I don't wear makeup by myself anyway.
173
So most of them are new.
174
You can throw them away.
175
I'm just giving them to you as I'm thankful, so no need to feel pressured.
176
Thank you so much.
177
I don't expect people to change all at once just because I wore makeup like this, but I still became a little confident thanks to you.
178
You're quite talkative.
179
I'll DM you my number.
180
Call me when you're bored.
181
Celebrity is quite a lonely job, you see.
182
If you become happy after turning pretty, make the people you like happy.
183
Don't care about those who hate you.
184
Yeah, thank you.
185
Shall we go now?
186
What the, she's Cho Yeonji?
187
She took off her glasses?
188
How did she get so pretty?
189
Hey... fa...
190
No, Yeonji, you got so pretty.
191
You should have worn makeup earlier. What cosmetics did you use?
192
Your skin's so nice...
193
Hey, Yeonji's skin was always nice.
194
Yeonji, can I borrow the science textbook....
195
Huh? Ah, I did makeup.
196
It looks strange, right?
197
It's my first time wearing it.
198
You look so pretty.
199
I was surprised at how much it fits you.
200
Really? Did you teach yourself to do makeup?
201
Ah, there's a story behind that.
202
What is it? A secret?
203
Why don't you share it with me?
204
Hey, what's going on?
205
Heo Taeahn...? Not to Seoyoung...?
206
Just fit into the mood for now.
207
Hey, Yeonji. Just like Taeahn said, it looks good on you.
208
Right, Seonhye?
209
Oh, right, right.
210
Yeonji. Can I talk with you for a moment later?
211
Yeah, I'll see you after school.
212
Okay, I'll go now.
213
Did you wait long?
214
No, no. I just came here too.
215
What did you want to say?
216
I've been wanting to say this for some time.
217
I actually like you.
218
Why do you like me?
219
You have beautiful eyes.
220
That's why I like you.
221
Aah. Okay. So, Yeonji, would you like to go out with me?
222
These bat-like bitches aren't reading my texts?
223
You don't have to answer me right away, if you're pressured.
224
What? Hey, can I talk to you for a moment?
225
It's nothing important, but you know Cho Yeonji, right?
226
The freshman from class 4. Do me a favor.
227
You know what I'm talking about.
228
That thing.
229
It'll be freaking fun, right?

About This Lesson

You're practicing English with "학교에서 은따 당하던 평범녀한테 빽이 생겼다.. 그 정체는 인기 1위 아이돌?" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.

Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
