Go up on your tiptoes, Lissonnot Brown Hare.
44
I'm nearly there.
45
Whoa, not again.
46
What are we looking for?
47
Well, we're not exactly looking for it.
48
Oh?
49
We're smelling for it.
50
What does it smell like?
51
It smells fresh, sweet and pretty.
52
Oh, I know that smell.
53
Yay!
54
Hey, wait for me.
55
Smell this blue flower, little nut brown hair.
56
Oh.
57
See?
58
Sweet and pretty.
59
Am I right?
60
You are right.
61
It is sweet and pretty. But... But...
62
It's not exactly the smell we are searching for.
63
I'll take this one back so big nut brown hair can smell how lovely it is.
64
Okay, so what can we smell next?
65
Oh, little white flowers!
66
Oh, do come and smell them!
67
Hmm, sweet and orangey.
68
And a little bit like the smell we're searching for, but...
69
But not the exact one.
70
Right.
71
for big nut brown hair.
72
He follows you everywhere?
73
Everywhere.
74
He followed me all the way to visit you, Little Phil Mouse.
75
Hello.
76
What's your name?
77
That's all he ever says.
78
I think he's too young to talk.
79
Oh?
80
Hmm.
81
Do you know what he is?
82
I know he isn't a hare.
83
Hmm.
84
Well, I think he's a...
85
Oh, I know.
86
He's probably...
87
Well, whatever he is, he can't be a mouse because he doesn't have whiskers like me.
88
We can't call him whatever he is.
89
He needs a proper name.
90
I know, I know.
91
We can call him Little...
92
Yes?
93
Yellow?
94
Uh-huh.
95
I don't know.
96
Hmm.
97
You've got to have a name.
98
Everyone does.
99
That's it.
100
What?
101
We'll call him Little Yellow Quack.
102
Yay, perfect!
103
What do you think of that Little Yellow Quack?
104
I think he likes it.
105
Around and around and around.
106
Now open your eyes.
107
What do you see?
108
A whorefinch. And she's singing.
109
My turn again.
110
Around and around.
111
Can you see anything from down there?
112
Yes.
113
Bluebird is making a nest.
114
Oh, so she is. That looks like fun.
115
If we had our own nest,
116
we could play in it together.
117
Why don't we build one?
118
It doesn't look that hard.
119
Yes, let's do it.
120
I'll get some leaves.
121
And I'll go and find some twigs and sticks.
122
Ah!
123
Sorry, little field mouse.
124
It's okay, little nut brown hair.
125
Now, what do we do?
126
Hmm, well, I suppose we put them together in some sort of nest shape.
127
I'll put this here and that there.
128
And make it kind of roundish.
129
There, our very own nest.
130
Wait, I've got one leaf left.
131
We didn't make it strong enough Then let's try again There,
132
that should be stronger It's much stronger
133
But it's still not quite strong enough Then let's try again There!
134
Do you think it's strong enough?
135
Let's try!
136
Oh!
137
It is strong enough!
138
Hooray!
139
Well, what do you think of our nest?
140
It's a bit.. itchy!
141
Yes, the sticks and twigs are very pokey and prickly.
142
and scratchy and stickly.
143
We need to find something soft to line the nest with to make it more comfortable.
144
I know just the thing.
145
A thistle bush?
146
Wouldn't that make the nest even more prickly?
147
Not the prickly thistles.
148
We'll use the soft down.
149
Feel how soft it is, like a feather.
150
It tickles.
151
I told you it was something like a feather.
152
This should stop our nest being so prickly and pokey.
153
You're right.
154
Our nest isn't prickly now.
155
It's tickly.
156
Yes, the thistle town is tickling me too.
157
We can't use the nest.
158
Because we laugh all the time.
159
We never get any playing done.
160
Little Phil Mouse, where are you?
161
Ta-da!
162
There you are.
163
I like that pretty flower.
164
Thank you, little nut brown hair.
165
It's a lovely colour, isn't it?
166
And it smells so sweet.
167
Oh, butterflies like it too.
168
Oh, isn't that pretty?
169
Thank you, little redwood fox.
170
See you later.
171
That butterfly really likes you.
172
Hello, little grey squirrel.
173
I think it just likes the flower.
174
It looks so sweet.
175
Thank you.
176
Goodbye.
177
Bye.
178
That was very kind of them to say such nice things about me.
179
Well, having a flower and a butterfly does make you very special.
180
Really?
181
Let's make you special too.
182
Me?
183
How?
184
By getting a flower and a butterfly for you too.
185
Oh, yes.
186
There are some beautiful flowers here.
187
Try this one.
188
Ah.
189
Here, butterflies.
190
Come to the flower.
191
Shh, little nap brown hair.
192
You'll scare them away.
193
Oops, sorry.
194
You have to be still.
195
Am I still enough?
196
Perfectly.
197
Then why aren't any butterflies coming to the flower?
198
Maybe there aren't any butterflies around here.
199
Maybe they just don't like this kind of flower.
200
Or maybe I'm just not special.
201
I'm sure you are.
202
Hmm?
203
Ooh, a ladybug.
204
Hmm.
205
It tickles.
206
I didn't do anything.
207
It just landed on me.
208
Just like the butterfly landed on me.

Practice Tips

To effectively use the shadowing technique with this transcript, begin by listening to the dialogue attentively. Focus on the emotive phrases and playful tones conveyed by the characters. Since this video features a mix of lively interactions and gentle nuances, it's crucial to mimic not only the words but also the intonation and pacing of the speakers.

Consider using a shadowing app to record your imitation. Start by pausing frequently to repeat short segments, paying attention to how certain phrases flow naturally within context. Gradually increase the length of your shadow speech as you become more comfortable.

Keep in mind that the speed of the dialogue may vary. To ensure a successful shadowing practice, aim to isolate sentences that resonate with you—sentences that evoke emotions or vivid imagery. These connections will enhance your learning experience and retention of vocabulary. Regular practice using this method will not only prepare you for specific situations like the IELTS speaking practice but will also help you sound more natural in everyday conversations.

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.
