This is because, unlike Spanish, in English many sustantives can work modificing to another sustantive.
72
The sustantive that modifies goes before the main sustantive.
73
For example, tennis ball, tennis court.

That is, it doesn't make the same in which order you put your sustantive.

Even when the word has a double T, like in better, butter, letter.

181
Sin embargo, en inglés tiene un uso específico.
182
Cuando la usamos referida a algún lugar, es para enfatizar que se trata de una distancia o recorrido muy largo.
183
Ejemplos, He had to walk all the way home.
184
That dress came all the way from New York.
185

217
Teacher es una palabra más general.
218
Por ejemplo, podemos decir
219
My English Teacher para referirnos a quien nos enseña inglés,
220
o My Drama Teacher para referirnos a quien nos enseña inglés para quien nos enseñe a teatro.
221
Pero Shifu no usa ni teacher ni professor, sino master.
222
Master también quiere decir maestro, pero en el sentido de alguien que instruye en un arte específico como el kung fu.
223
Llamar a alguien master es otorgarle importancia y jerarquía.
224
Por eso es que los cinco llaman a Shifu Master Shifu en señal de respeto.
225
Shifu, a su vez, llama a Oogway, Master Oogway.
226
Pero Master tiene otros significados, además de maestro o experto en una materia o arte.
227
Master also means lover or patron, a man who has people working for him, a menudo as a sirvient.
228
Ejemplos Servants had to obey their masters
229
Master also refers to the owner or the owner of an animal.
230
Look at that.
231

233

251
You stink.
252
Thanks.
253
I'm serious.
254
Well, that's just because I went down there and they were all smoking.
255
This is actually the smell of success.
256
Look, there's something different than...
257
Oh, my God, you smoked. Did not?
258
Yes, you did.
259
You like happy and sick.
260
You smoked.
261
But to stink also has another meaning, as in Spanish we use it to indicate that something is bad, pleasant or pleasant.
262
So it's like the Shifu is using it, Po apesta, is very bad, in the practice of Kung Fu when you focus on it.
263
In this sense, to stink is a sign of to suck.
264
Do you remember?
265
taking a really hard look at things and come to the conclusion i have to stop kidding myself
266

268
The way to get through to you is with this.
269
Oh, great, because I'm hungry.
270
The phrase phrase get through has different meanings.
271

278

279
hacer que alguien entienda o acepte lo que dices, especialmente cuando intentas ayudarlo.
280
Así es como lo está usando Shifu con Po.

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.
