82
Was your mom really angry?
83
She was so worried last night so I had to tell.
84
Hey Chatu, let's get some spicy rice cakes and fried stuff after we do our homework.
85
It's my treat.
86
What?
87
Really?
88
Minji, can you lend me some money instead of buying that?
89
What?
90
This is a secret.
91
But I almost won the gold medal last night.
92
I'm only a couple of rounds away.
93
Chaddu, what's wrong with you?
94
Isn't your mom angry enough already?
95
I'm serious.
96
Just three more rounds.
97
Two rounds.
98
It's all my fault.
99
I should have taken you to play that game.
100
We should have just gone out for spicy rice cakes.
101
Minji, you don't have to be sorry.
102
Just lend me some money.
103
Chaddu, I can't believe you.
104
I'm never going to lend you money!
105
Seriously, I said I just need to play a couple rounds and you won't help!
106
That's what our friendship means to you?
107
Fine!
108
I don't need your money!
109
I won't take it even if you give it to me!
110
Chadu, where are you going?
111
Mind your own business!
112
Oh, Chadu...
113
One bottle is worth 10 cents, so I can play one round if I can find 10 bottles.
114
20 bottles means 2 rounds, and 30 means 3 rounds.
115
Hey, Chatto, what are you doing here?
116
Uh, Sanghun!
117
Chatto, what happened to your face?
118
Why are you going through my trash?
119
Your trash?
120
Oh my god!
121
What am I doing here?
122
Chijaku!
123
What are you doing?
124
This isn't right!
125
Just one more round?
126
What's wrong with me?
127
Hello?
128
Hello! Who is it?
129
Huh?
130
Yeah, well, you see your daughter here came to the station and begged us to lock her up.
131
Silly, huh?
132
She did what?
133
What did you do this time?
134
No, she didn't do anything.
135
She just asked us to put her behind bars saying that she can't stop playing arcade games.
136
What?
137
Cheiju, you did that after our talk?
138
Come over here, I should just...
139
Just run, run, run.
140
Oh, please calm down.
141
This type of addiction is hard to control by oneself.
142
I know a place where they can help her, so why don't you send her there?
143
Mom, Dad, send me there, please!
144
I really want to get over this!
145
I don't want this to ruin my life!
146
I wish this was a dream.
147
Well, I don't know if that's the right place for you.
148
Send me there!
149
Send me!
150
I'll come back a new girl!
151
Do you even know what you're talking about?
152
Welcome to boot camp!
153
You will all push yourselves to the limit!
154
And become strong men!
155
Do you understand?
156

166

167

173

174

175

189
Raaaaaaaaow Chiaaaaaa!
190
Jaatu, are you alright?
191
Uh, but he was here!
192
Jadu, what are you talking about?
193
No, he's not here.
194
Does that mean I won?
195
Ahahahahaha!
196
Oh?
197
Ah!
198
J-Jadu!
199
J-Jadu!
200
Jadu, you look really great!
201
You're completely over arcade games, aren't you?
202
Ha ha ha ha!
203
Jadu finished the whole program with flying colors!
204
It was so much fun!
205
I'm so over our case!
206
Uh...
207
Jadu, what's wrong?
208
Why did you stop talking?
209
They're behind you!
210
He's back!
211
Huh?
212
There's nothing behind us!
213
Behind you!
214
Behind you!
215
He's back, but I beat him!
216
This can't be!
217
Aaaaaah!
218
Jadu, get it ripped!
219
I guess I have no choice but to use that method.
220
Have you seen Chadu lately?
221
Nah, I heard she was taken to some kind of boot camp.
222
No one knows when she'll be back.
223
Move over.
224
Ah!
225
I said move over.
226
This will be the last time.
227
We love you...
228
Just need more...
229
I don't think so...
230
I don't think so...
231
No, there's no way.
232
I'll have to finish the finish line.
233
I'm gonna have to finish the finish line.
234
It stopped.
235
Let's go home now.
236
You're done, aren't you?
237
Yes, Mom.
238
Excellent.
239
After that, I never played arcade games again.
240
Meow.
241
Meow.

- Shadow the conversation: Listen carefully to how the speakers express excitement and eagerness. Repeat their phrases immediately after hearing them, matching their rhythm and intonation.
- Slow it down: Use video playback controls to slow down the audio as you practice. This allows you to catch subtleties in pronunciation and inflection, making it easier to improve your English pronunciation.

- Engage with the content: While watching, pause frequently to summarize what you've learned or to reflect on how you might use similar phrases in your own conversations. This technique is beneficial for improving English pronunciation and helps create a deeper understanding of language use.

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.
