Shadowing Practice: Bite Hard, Fight Harder! / Hello Jadoo - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
My name is Kimpil Sung.
2
I got a PhD in economics at a very famous university.
3
I'll finally be able to run my own business.
4
As soon as I get it started, definitely I will succeed by all means!
5
- Hmm!
6
Hey, did you know?
7
There's a new buffet restaurant! For real?
8
Then we can eat as much as we want!
9
I know, I've been dreaming about eating there.
10
A buffet?
11
That is so tacky.
12
It's obvious that the cheaper the food, the lower the quality will be, you guys.
13
So don't make such a fuss about a buffet.
14
I can't wait to eat there!
15
Is there really a new buffet place?
16
Wow, I'll have to tell my mom to go eat there sometime.
17
Trust me, I'm already preparing to go there.
18
Preparing how?
19
Oh my gosh, I can't stand these barbarians!
20
Do I really have to keep going to the school?
21
The marketing campaign is important for business, but above all there's nothing like the lady's word of mouth.
22
This sounds like a great business idea.
23
We can't wait to have a big restaurant in town.
24
We are proud of our restaurant for the high quality of our ingredients and the high quantity of food.
25
We will always do our best to please our guests.
26
Oh look, that's Jadu's mom, right?
27
Hi there!
28
Were you shopping for food?
29
No, I didn't have to.
30
There's a new buffet restaurant.
31
I'll go there from today on.
32
Great!
33
Let's hold neighborhood meetings there!
34
Ha ha!
35
The promotion is successful.
36
This is going to be a piece of cake for a doctor of economics like me.
37
Ha ha!
38
Hey kids!
39
Mommy's here!
40
Oh, Mom!
41
We're glad you're here!
42
Hey, you two.
43
You're behaving just like Mommy told you, right?
44
Yeah!
45
I haven't eaten anything at all since morning, Mommy!
46
Look!
47
Baby's belly is so empty and so flat that his pants keep falling down!
48
Oh, good!
49
You're doing really great!
50
You'll be stuffed at supper!
51
As soon as Daddy comes, we'll be on our way!
52
Yay!
53
Oh, I've been waiting for this whole time.
54
Oh, my God.
55
Quality food attracts many people, but I have to make sure that they do not eat too much.
56
If I let them have all kinds of greasy food, they won't be able to eat that much.
57
That way I will be rich.
58
Oh, I'm a genius.
59
We will take over this restaurant for a week!
60
There are so many kinds of foods here,
61
but there's an important principle in buffets.
62
Don't let fancy food mislead you.
63
You don't have to eat all the food here.
64
Ignore what you can eat at home corner away from the food line.
65
Oh.
66
It's a secret sales strategy known by few.
67
And that, my friends, is the place we need to conquer!
68
Baby.
69
Hmm.
70
There!
71
Whoa!
72
Oh, Mom!
73
I'm so happy here!
74
Good, huh?
75
Eat as much as you want.
76
Thank Mommy!
77
No, Mom!
78
What do we do?
79
We're out of meat!
80
Oh, well.
81
Guess I'll have to go get more then.
82
I'll be able to pay off my loan in no time.
83
Then I can expand the business and make a whole lot of money.
84
Yeah!
85
Right!
86
I'll be able to pay off my loan in no time.
87
Then I can expand the business and make a whole lot of money.
88
Yeah!
89
Right!
90
I'll be able to pay off my loan in no time.
91
Then I can expand the business and make a whole lot of money.
92
Running a business is easier than getting a PhD.
93
Huh?
94
Hey Chidu!
95
Minji?
96
Cool seeing you here!
97
I'd love to stay in chat, but I'm kinda busy right now, you know, doing this and that.
98
Cool, I'll see you tomorrow then!
99
Oh my goodness, they're all here! Is that total?
100
I'm in heaven!
101
- Thank you.
102
- - Hmm?
103
Excuse me, kiddo.
104
What?
105
Why are you eating so little?
106
I like to keep my dignity everywhere.
107
Even though there's a lot to eat here, I refuse to eat like a barbarian.
108
Like them!
109
In that table over there!
110
Ah!
111
How much did they eat?
112
Ah! Are they even finished?
113
I've got something to do over there!
114
Huh?
115
- Whoa!
116
- Ah!
117
- Ha ha ha ha!
118
- Ah!
119
- Ah!
120

121

123
- Ah!
124
- Ah!
125

126
- Ah!
127
- Ah! you Mmm.
128
Well then, let's get started.
129
Let's eat again!
130
Yeah!
131
What's going on here?
132
How can human beings consume that much food in one day?
133
- - Boss?
134
What is it, Chef?
135
I'm afraid that we're all out of meat.
136
Luke, I can't do that!
137
Let me go!
138
Come on now!
139
Who's the boss?
140
Who's the boss?
141
Who's the two right here?
142
You can't call this a buffet!
143
Give me a free bomb!
144
I want my money back!
145
- I'm sorry, I'll give you a full refund.
146
I'm sorry.
147
I'm truly sorry.
148
I am...
149
- It's a cool afternoon here and I'm still hungry.
150
Ha ha ha!
151
Mommy, my pants aren't falling down anymore!

160
Yesterday was my first day of sales.
161
I forgot to factor in the food costs, and I had to give refunds.
162
I lost so much money.
163
Hmm?
164
As you can see, the discount event is over now.
165
It actually never should have happened.
166
From this day on, you'll all be paying the full price if you want to eat, you got it?
167
Uhh...
168
That's certainly going to be a problem.
169
Hey, Mom, does this mean we can't eat today?
170
We have to pay twice as much now, and that's just way too much for your mom and dad, sweetie.
171
Right!
172
Yes.
173
Give up and go away already.
174
Sweetheart, you know how much I believe in you, don't you?
175
If we have to pay double, we'll just have to try harder this time.
176
Oh.
177
What?
178
What does that mean?
179
We can't go back home hungry now, can we?
180
Mommy and Daddy will treat you down all!
181
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Huh?
182
Well, seeing as the price has doubled...
183
Power up!
184
Who knows the amount of food these people can eat?
185
So now, what am I supposed to do?
186
- - Come on!
187
Come on!
188
- - I'm telling you!
189
You know that new buffet that just opened over there?
190
It's really bad.
191
Just awful!
192
Oh yes, I know.
193
It's expensive, but there's not a single piece of meat.
194
- Ja -ju's mom, have you ever been to that buffet before?
195
- I have, there's no meat.
196
I guess we'll have to eat some vegetables from now on.
197
Uh, ma 'am.
198
How much is it per pack?
199
you you Bye.
200
Bye.
201
Shhhhhhhhhh.
202
It's so nice and quiet here.
203
I'm glad it's not crowded.
204
I can sit here and eat elegantly.
205
No, no, I can't give up.
206
I must never give up.
207
Thank you.
208
Who is it?
209
This is all my beef and pork, 40 pounds each.
210
I'd really appreciate it if you could take it off my hands!
211
Sorry, but we did not order any meat sir.
212
Uh -huh!
213
We really enjoyed the meat we got that day.
214
Though afterwards we couldn't go to the buffet for a month.
215
In the meantime the buffet restaurant has been working really well.
216
And a month later when we finally ran out of all the meat, Thank you.
217
They moved away from one day to the next.
218
Huh, where will we eat meat now?
219
Where's my science textbook?
220
Chatoo, did you leave it in the science lab?
221
Yeah Oh!

237
What would you do with them?
238
I can't let the poor fish get dissected, you know.
239
I have to save them before they die.
240
What?
241
Hey, what's your name?
242
What grade are you in?
243
I'm Chadu and I'm in third grade.
244
Nice to meet you.
245
I'm Romy.
246
I'll save these fish for you.
247
Don't worry.
248
We can't let these cute hands smell like fish.
249
Oh!
250
Oh, Chadu, you're so cute.
251
Ch -Chadu!
252
Do you have any idea who just came looking for you?

They're called Chadu.

He's just giving her some fish he doesn't need.
270
What's the big deal?
271
He asked me to go with him to buy fish food tomorrow.
272

Why practice speaking with this video?
This engaging video, featuring a conversation about a new buffet restaurant, provides an excellent context for English learners to practice speaking. The lively dialogue encapsulates everyday scenarios that focus on introducing new ideas and expressing excitement. By using this video for shadow speech practice, learners can enhance their conversational skills and become more comfortable in casual discussions, building confidence in the process.
Practicing with this context allows learners to experience authentic language use, making it a valuable addition to your IELTS speaking practice. You'll understand how to convey enthusiasm and opinions effectively, while also picking up on natural speech patterns that are essential for fluency.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
In the dialogue, several key structures appear that are beneficial for learners to study:
- Future Intentions: Phrases like "I'll finally be able to run my own business" emphasize future plans. This is a great way to learn how to articulate goals and ambitions.
- Excitement and Opinions: Expressions such as "I can't wait to eat there!" and "That is so tacky" show how to convey enthusiasm and personal judgments. These phrases are commonly used in everyday conversations.
- Word of Mouth: The phrase "there's nothing like the lady's word of mouth" highlights the importance of personal recommendations, a useful expression for discussing marketing and social influence.
- Comedic Elements: The line "Oh, good! You're doing really great!" captures a friendly, informal tone. Understanding humor in language helps you navigate casual interactions and make connections with others.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As learners practice with the video, they may encounter some tricky words and accents that require attention:
- Buffet: This word can often be pronounced differently (buh-fay vs. buf-fay). It's essential to listen carefully and practice the pronunciation suited to common English usage.
- Tacky: This adjective may be new to some learners. Practicing its pronunciation and intonation helps in expressing opinions accurately, especially in casual contexts.
- Barbarians: The emotional intensity with which this term is spoken can help learners understand the nuances of strong descriptive language. Paying attention to how emotions affect pronunciation is key in mastering the art of shadow speaking.
Using a shadowing app with this video will allow you to mimic the speaker's rhythm and intonation, improving your overall pronunciation and fluency. By reviewing the content carefully, you'll effectively improve your speaking skills and confidence in initiating and sustaining conversations.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — an action that started earlier and is still going on | I've been dreaming · I've been waiting · has been working |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | haven't eaten · has doubled · day's been |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | be stuffed · be disowned |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — an action in progress at a moment in the past | Were you shopping · was catching |
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.
