Creating lesson...
1
Oh, that's my dream car there.
2
I really want to drive it home.
3
Enjoy your walk, little friends.
4
Looks like Unhee's parents must have gotten a new car.
5
That Granda model came out earlier this year.
6
Hey, guys!
7
Have a nice day! And Avanta Sports!
8
Doldo's car was released just last year.
9
Wow, you sure do know a lot about cars, doggie.
10
Ah, it's nothing.
11
I've just been interested in cars lately.
12
Why do you care to be interested?
13
It's not like you can buy one yourself.
14
Well, I'll be seeing you two later.
15
Well, at least Doggy has something to ride.
16
I don't have anything like that.
17
Oh dear, almost lost an arm there.
18
I can't stand these super -packed bus rides to work.
19
They stress me out before my job can.
20
Hey, Dad.
21
All my friends at school have cars.
22
How come you haven't gone to buy one yet?
23
What about this car here?
24
Wow!
25
Dad, are you going to buy that car?
26
I, uh, I'd like to buy it.
27
Will you buy it for me?
28
I thought you were going to buy it.
29
Why don't you go ask the real boss lady of the house for permission?
30
I heard you, so you want to buy a car, right?
31
We are on a tight budget as it is.
32
We'll buy one in your dreams.
33
Oh.
34
Hey, little twerp, get off the road when a car's coming.
35
Did school not teach you to watch while you're walking?
36
You see that?
37
This all happened because we don't have a car, Dad!
38
Listen, Mimi, think about it, will ya?
39
Just think about it if our dad had a car!
40
Our family would never be treated that way and our lives would change for the better!
41
Good luck, good work, Dad!
42
Okay, have fun at school!
43
Yes!
44
See?
45
Now think!
46
What do we gotta do to get a car around here, Mimi?
47
Yeah, I heard you.
48
I don't know what the fuss is about.
49
Wanting a car all of a sudden for what, huh?
50
We've been just fine without one.
51
Why in the world would we want a car just to move around the neighborhood?
52
I knew getting Mama to agree to a car was impossible.
53
Sorry, you two.
54
I wish I could have been more help.
55
Looks like you won't be getting a car right from me until you're all grown up.
56
There has to be something we can do, Dad.
57
What?
58
Do you have a plan?
59
There's only one person in this entire family that can convince Mom now.
60
Uh...
61
Hmm.
62
Huh?
63
If there's anywhere you want to go, baby, I'll take you there.
64
You just have to ask.
65
Hey, I love riding on Mama's back more than any car in the whole wide world!
66
So you don't ever want to take a ride inside a dumb car, will you?
67
No way, Mama.
68
Mama, all I want is to be with you!
69
This is not going to be easy, huh?
70
That's an understatement.
71
It's gonna be impossible.
72
Oh, baby, you really love cars, don't you?
73
Yeah, I really do like cars.
74
Oh, yeah?
75
Would you be really happy if we had a real one?
76
No way, I have a lot of cars.
77
What?
78
Do you really?
79
Hmm.
80
Here's the Sonita and the Avanza.
81
I even had imported cars at home.
82
How great.
83
What a nice collection you have.
84
I can't believe that baby really likes his toy cars over a real one.
85
I see no way we can change his mind.
86
Didn't I say you don't know how to talk to children, sis?
87
I'm sorry, but aren't you a child?
88
What you're saying is our baby loves toy cars, right?
89
Yeah, and he was bragging about all the different models he has.
90
What of it?
91
He loves cars.
92
He's my kid.
93
It's nice, right?
94
So then, you really want the car, right?
95
Yeah, yeah, I really want to get it.
96
My baby, what's going on?
97
Is something the matter?
98
Lama, how come we don't have a big car to drive around?
99
What was that?
100
It's because you don't want us to have a really big car to drive around the neighborhood, Lama.
101
Why won't you let us have one, Lama?
102
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Babies can think for themselves, you know?
103
Of course, Baby recognizes that we don't have a car right now.
104
Everyone else in the world knows it.
105
Huh?
106
Where did you get that from?
107
I think it's time that we went out and bought a car.
108
If you really think that'll solve our problems, but I really do think it's out of our means.
109
The girls seem to want one.
110
I know you want one and seeing baby cry over a car like that.
111
It's got me thinking.
112
You know, I've been saving up for a while for when Jadu and Mimi go to middle school and high school.
113
Is that where all that came from?
114
Our kids' education is important.
115
Yeah, you're right.
116
Yeah, it is important.
117
Hey, Mom!
118
Listen up!
119
Don't worry!
120
Mimi and I don't have to go to school!
121
We don't need to go!
122
We don't need an education!
123
What?
124
All right, your payment was accepted.
125
With that out of the way, your car will be here in three days.
126
What are you doing?
127
You know the car we bought?
128
Is right over there.
129
I know that.
130
Just let me be for a moment.
131
Is this really going to be our car from now on?
132
I can finally go to school in our own car!
133
Here, feel free to check it out for yourselves!
134
Yes, thanks for delivering it!
135
We finally have a car of our own!
136
I want you to know that this is the happiest day of my life!
137
And here is your free gift exactly like we promised your little prince a toy car
138
Bobo now wait one tire spending minute here was I just saw the car is finally here
139
The car might be a bit small, but I think it's got enough room for the five of us Sweetheart,
140
is the car you were really wanting the one in your hand right now?
141
Yeah, this one!
142
So then you really want the car, right?
143
Yeah, yeah, I really want to get it!
144
How could you trick your own son?
145
I want all of you to stop touching that vehicle this instant!
146
That car goes back tomorrow!
147
Not so soon!
148
Let go of that car right now!
149
Uh, sweetheart, don't you think having a car is a really good idea?
150
I'm sorry, what did you say?
151
Repeat that!
152
Repeat that!
153
I spent the kids' tuition money all because of some toy car!
154
Maybe we can keep it for a while.
155
Alright, if you want to keep the car, I hope you're okay having uneducated cats!
156
I'm so sorry you had to see that.
157
I'm sorry too, children.
158
Mama, can we please keep the car, please?
159
Then don't bother coming in!
160
Have a good life living with your new car!
161
Mama, no!
162
Sweetheart, don't be like that!
163
Is he in the bathroom?
164
Hold on!
165
Where in the world did the girls go?
166
Oh no!
167
Where could they be?
168
Did he take the girls out on a late -night drive?
169
I'm alive!
170
Phew, the car's still parked here.
171
Then where in the world are the girls?
172
Bye -bye, get out!
173
Oh gosh, do they like the car that much?
174
I was planning on returning it tomorrow, but I guess that's off the table.

What You'll Learn from This Video

This conversation is perfect for building everyday conversational skills like expressing desires ("I really want to drive it home") and negotiating family dynamics ("Why don't you ask the real boss lady?"). You'll also practice complaining about daily stress ("These packed bus rides stress me out")—a common real-life scenario. These phrases are easy to adapt, making them ideal for english speaking practice.

Listen For These Sounds

Notice how connected speech simplifies phrases: "I'd like to buy it" becomes "I'd like t'buy it" (linking "to" to "buy"). "What about this car here?" shortens to "Whadabout this car here?" (reducing "what about"). Also, "We'll buy one in your dreams" uses a casual "in your dreams" with a quick, unstressed "in"—a key reduction to mimic. These sounds are critical for understanding native speakers, so listen closely.

Say It Like a Native: Use the Shadowing Technique

To master the rhythm, try shadowing technique (repeat lines immediately after the speaker). Focus on stress: in "I can't stand these super-packed bus rides," stress "can't," "stand," "super-packed," and "rides" to match the speaker's frustration. For questions like "Why don't you go ask the real boss lady?", rise slightly on "ask" and drop on "lady" to sound natural. Shadowspeaks (shadowing while mimicking tone) helps with intonation—copy the dad's hesitation in "I, uh, I'd like to buy it" by pausing briefly before "uh." This is how learn english with videos becomes effective: you're not just learning words, but how to feel the language.

Practice daily with this clip, and you'll soon speak with the flow and confidence of a native. Remember: shadow speak isn't just repetition—it's about matching energy, stress, and rhythm. Start small, and build up!

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

StructureIn the video
Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its resultIf you really think that'll solve
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters nowI've just been interested · haven't gone · We've been
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does itwas released · be treated · was accepted
Past continuous was/were + -ing — an action in progress at a moment in the pastwas bragging · were really wanting · was planning

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.
