The truth is that I had many plans to do the cure and nothing, this is what happened.
10

11
Hello, good morning.
12
Yes, good morning.
13
Let's see, are you talking with Marcos?
14
Yes, yes.
15
Let's see, I'm the father Raúl, I'm from the parroquia.
16
Ah, yes?
17
You're going to contract marriage the next May 22, right?
18
Yes, that's what I do.
19
Let's see, this morning I was doing a review of expedients,
20
and I've been with your own problem, Marcos.
21
What problem?
22
Let's see, here it is, you know, you don't receive Christ as your Savior.
23
Is that right?
24
What does that mean exactly?
25
I do not receive it, but I don't know...
26
No, that means, it is, you know, you don't have baptized, Marcos.
27
No, but that's what I do.
28
They were baptized when I was born.
29
So, I don't know what to say.
30
In the system, you know, you're not baptized, so we can't celebrate this ceremony, Marcos.
31
No, but it can't be.
32
I have a family that we have photos of the bounties and I'm baptized.
33
A veces se ha dado el caso de que a usted
34
se le bautiza pero el cura en cuestión no entrega el papeleo a los archivos,
35
con lo cual en el sistema usted no consta como bautizado, ¿entiende Marcos?
36
No puede ser, porque pienso que yo tengo pruebas de esto,
37
digamos gráficas de fotografía, con el cura poniéndome el agua...
38
Well, now we have a problem, Marcos.
39
What would be, how do we solve that?
40
Because, I think I will tell you something.
41
I say something, everything has a solution to God.
42
Well, I am so glad, because we have all bought, I think we have all the money.
43
I would like to ask you to enter a dynamic solution and optimism
44
that you would recite a Our Father to put us in situation, Marcos.
45
It's a bit complicated because I'm not...
46
Marcos, I'm sure that celebrating this ceremony should be very important for you
47
and I ask you to please put a little interest.
48
Well, well...
49
I would say...
50
For our God who is in the sky, sanctified by your will be with you.
51
No, no!
52
No it's like that, Marcos!
53
Well, but it's like that, no. What's that like?
54
What's that like?
55
This is not like that a football team.
56
Well, but you know, because you know what happens is that the church, I don't have to hear much. Because...
57
A ver, please, start again, Marcos.
58
Start again, no worries.
59
Respire and start.
60
El Padre nuestro, que estás en el cielo...
61
En el cielo, no. En los cielos.
62
Pues eso.
63
Padre nuestro, que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre.
64
Perdona los pecados...
65
¡No, perdona!
66
¡No!
67
¡No hay nada que perdonar ahora!
68
¡Hombre, pero Dios perdona los pecados!
69
Eso.. eso...
70
¡Pero que no es así el Padre nuestro!
71
Oiga, pero no me grite, por favor.
72
Que yo tampoco lo estoy gritando.
73
Estoy siendo educado.
74
Y además, con un error que es suyo, también que me están diciendo que algo que yo tengo pruebas, No, no, no. Vamos a ver, creo que necesito...
75
Por favor, le pido silencio.
76
Le pido silencio y que ahora mismo procedamos los dos a relajarnos.
77
¿Le parece bien?
78
Sí, me parece bien.
79
Para que podamos solucionar este problema.
80
Vamos a escuchar una canción celestial para que usted y yo nos relajemos y entremos en sintonía.
81
Por favor, escuche.
82
Sorry, I'm wrong.
83
Give me a second.
84
I had my niece here put the reproductor, no worries.
85
One second.
86
How do you feel now, Marcos?
87
Yes, I am relaxed.
88
I am not nervous, but I am not going to be put on it.
89
But it is that, of course, you always get tired.
90
No worry, God sees, understands and forgive.
91
Perfect, then.
92
Go ahead with that Our Father, Marcos.
93
Our Father, that you are in the ciels, sanctified be your name, forgive us.
94
No!
95
No!
96
But no me grites, man, we are here in a way, we are here in a calm way, eh?
97
No me grites, because...
98
But how do you want to come to my parish to celebrate your boda, if you don't know, or the Father's Father?
99
Well, because I'm not practicing much lately...
100
But it's not that there is to be practicing, this is what I know or not!
101
That no me grites, that I don't know.
102
No!
103
You're not gritating, and I'm a emissary of God!
104
Well, I don't care if you're a emissary of God.
105
I'm going to go to the parroquia and we talk about it Look, look, look, listen to me,
106
I ask you to relax In the name of God, relax And relax you too, that man, that man, that...
107
I never had met someone like you, no he was baptized, no he knows the Father's name and even so he grites But no,
108

109

Moises separated the waters, I separated the bodies of the body.
123

124
What is he threatening?
125

What Speaking Skills Can You Build with This Video?

This lively phone conversation is perfect for practicing spontaneous problem-solving dialogue—a key fluency milestone. You’ll learn to respond naturally to unexpected challenges, like explaining a misunderstanding or negotiating a solution, just like Marcos does when he’s told his baptism isn’t in the system. It’s a great way to build confidence in real-world English interactions.

Your Go-To Phrases from the Dialogue

  • “You’re going to flip this one” – A casual way to say something will surprise someone.
  • “Everything has a solution to God” – A heartfelt expression of hope (note the informal structure).
  • “Put us in situation” – A conversational phrase meaning “set the right mood” (common in relaxed speech).
  • “I’m sure that… should be very important” – A polite way to emphasize urgency.

These phrases work in everyday chats—try using them next time you’re explaining a problem or reassuring a friend!

Master Pronunciation with Shadow Speech

This clip is ideal for shadow speak practice—repeating the dialogue aloud in real time to mimic rhythm and tone. Notice how the speaker (playing “Father Raúl”) uses pauses to build tension (“Well, now we have a problem, Marcos…”). Marcos’ hesitant speech (“Well, well… I would say…”) shows natural hesitation markers, which make English sound more authentic. To improve English pronunciation, focus on the word “baptized” – stress the first syllable: BAP-tized, not “bap-TIZED”.

Try shadowspeak by pausing the video, repeating each line, and matching the speed. Pay attention to how questions rise in tone (“What problem?”) and statements fall (“You don’t have baptized”). This is how shadowspeaks helps you sound more like a native—by training your mouth and ears to follow natural English flow.

Ready to start? Hit play, and let the dialogue guide your voice—you’ll be surprised how quickly your fluency improves!

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.
