Emma, you were really motoring there.

I'll do better than that tomorrow.

12
Awesome.
13
That's 0.2 under my personal best.

Cleo.
18
Hey, Cleo.
19
Yes, that Cleo.
20
I'm in some trouble here.
21
I'm in some trouble here.
22
Can you help?
23
I don't think so.
24
Come on.
25
Please.
26
Mazzordiak won't go, and all I need you to do is just pass me the tools.
27
I'm not good with boats.
28
You'll be fine.
29
Took me a while to realise that someone stole my spark plug.
30
So, does it work without one?
31
Nah.
32
No spark plug.
33
No spark.
34
I was getting sick of that thing anyway.
35
Why me?
36
I didn't steal your spark plug.
37
Because you're here, Cleo.
38
My dad will buy me another boat anyway.
39
I tell you what, if you get it going, you can keep it.
40
This isn't funny.
41
Are you kidding?
42
Works for me, right, Nate?
43
Zane!
44
Looks like you'll have to swim for it, Cleo.
45
This isn't happening.
46
Is this supposed to be some sort of rescue?
47
Because there's a fatal flaw here.
48
I don't mean to state the obvious, but we're just floating out to sea.
49
Both of us.
50
You took that.
51
But we're just floating out to sea.
52
Both of us.
53
You took that.
54
Zane Bennett's a pig.
55
Anything I can do to get under his skin can't be a bad thing, can it?
56
Cool.
57
Thanks, Rikki.
58
You know my name.
59
Yeah.
60
Well, I've seen you around school since you arrived.
61
Oh, I mean, I meant to say hello and everything.
62
Hold on.
63
Whoa!
64
Yeah!
65
I'm sorry.
66
Hey, Emma!
67
Want a ride?
68
Are you licensed?
69
Are you my mother?
70
Want to go out to sea?
71
Isn't it dangerous in a park this size?
72
Chill out.
73
I'm not sure what that means.
74
I'm not sure what that means.
75
I'm not sure what that means.
76
I'm not sure what that means.
77
Are we chilled out yet?
78
So, we're floating.
79
It's not like we're sinking.
80
Not yet.
81
I think we're out of fuel.
82
Feel like paddling to that island?
83
Mako Island?
84
Forget it.
85
No-one goes there.
86
It's surrounded by sharks. And reefs. And mangroves.
87
Well, it's all we've got.
88
I'm sorry.
89
How are we ever gonna get back home?
90
Good question, Cleo.
91
Ask your friend.
92
Don't put this on me.
93
Oh, it was someone else's fault.
94
Someone else took this thing miles offshore.
95
You two are lucky I got this.
96
Emma's always really prepared.
97
I'm so happy for her.
98
I'm not getting any signal.
99
We should try and get to high ground.
100
I'm not sure.
101
Do you have any idea where you're going?
102
Just up.
103
I'm still not getting a signal.
104
Maybe we won't get a signal.
105
What then?
106
What if we can't call anyone?
107
What if nobody finds us?
108
We'll have to draw straws and...
109
...beside which one of us the others will eat.
110
That's not funny.
111
I'm relieving the tension.
112
You're making it worse.
113
Come on!
114
Oh.
115
Mind your step.
116
I can't do this.
117
It's too slippery.
118
There's got to be another way.
119
Cleo!
120
Cleo!
121
Cleo!
122
Cleo!
123
No!
124
I'm OK.
125
I'm fine.
126
Can you climb up?
127
No. Are you sure?
128
Come on, just try.
129
I can't.
130
There's no way.
131
It's too steep.
132
I've got to go down and get her. Are you crazy?
133
It doesn't make sense if you... Are you OK?
134
My leg hurts a little.
135
It's probably just rained.
136
What are you doing here?
137
Well, you came down.
138
You were meant to stay up the top and throw down a rope or something.
139
What am I?
140
A mind reader.
141
And what rope?
142
Shouldn't we concentrate on getting out of here?
143
Yep.
144
There's no way out.
145
Let's try heat up.
146
Oh, my God.
147
Wow.
148
This is like the kind of.. volcano.
149
It's, um, not going to erupt, is it?
150
It's been dormant for 20,000 years.
151
I think we're safe.
152
Look, tidal rings.
153
The level of the pool rises and falls. So?
154
So it's connected to the ocean.
155
There might be way out.
156
I'm not going to like this.
157
Emma!
158
Emma!
159
Relax.
160
Just give her a minute.
161
I was right.
162
It's about a 20-second swim to the reef outside.
163
I was right.
164
It's about a 20-second swim to the reef outside.
165
Straight through.
166
Plenty of room.
167
We can all fit.
168
Through there?
169
No way.
170
Go on, Cleo.
171
There's no other way out.
172
You can do it.
173
I can't do it. And besides...
174
I can't swim.
175
Everything will be fine.
176
How can you be sure?
177
Listen to her, Cleo.
178
What alternative do we have?
179
Stay stuck down here forever.
180
I'm sorry.
181
Wow.
182
Spooky.
183
Okay, now concentrate.
184
Take a deep breath.
185
I'm sorry.
186
I'm not sure.
187
That was more than 20 seconds.
188
Oh, relax.
189
We made it, didn't we?
190
I'm proud of you, Cleo.
191
I knew you could do it.
192
This is the water police.
193
Please make your way to the boarding ladder at the rear of the vessel.
194
Come on.
195
Oh, my God.
196
Come on, Cleo, you can't say that forever.
197
Cleo!
198
What?
199
It was orange and covered with scales.
200
The minute I hit water, I...
201
I was water for a second.
202
I was a f...
203
What's going on?
204
That's what I want to know.
205
Is there anyone else here?
206
No. Dad's at work and my sister and mum are shopping.
207
OK, what happened to us?
208
About ten seconds after we touch water, we.. we grow these...
209
And it vanishes when we're dry.
210
And that's the same with you two, right?
211
But the tails are like...
212
Exactly like...
213
We look like mermaids.
214
I've told you before, you're not funny.
215
Mamaids don't exist.
216
That's just too weird.
217
Oh, no. It's Lewis.
218
I forgot he's helping me with biology today.
219
Hey-o.
220
Clee, I...
221
Oh.
222
Uh, did I get the time wrong?
223
No, we said nine.
224
Oh.
225
But sorry, Lewis, something has come up.
226
Like what?
227
Just something important.
228
But not so important that you need to know about it.
229
Sorry, Lewis.
230
I have to cancel.
231
Oh.
232
Sorry, Lewis.
233
I have to cancel.
234
Oh.
235
Maybe some other time.
236
Lewis?
237
You're smart.
238
Do you know anything about mermaids?
239
No, not really.
240
OK, sorry.
241
Bye.
242
What?
243
Do you know anything about mermaids?
244
Are you crazy?
245
Cleo, this is really serious.
246
If anyone found out about this, we could be in big trouble.
247
Well, maybe.
248
Look, something very strange has happened to us.
249
We don't know how and we certainly don't know why.
250
There is a way for us to find out more.
251
How?
252
Go back in the water.
253
No way.
254
Not me.
255
I'm going.
256
I just don't think I should go alone.
257
Any volunteers?
258
I'm not so sure about this.
259
It's all right.
260
I am.
261
That gives me no confidence whatsoever. About ten seconds, right?
262
One, two, three, four, five.
263
Oh, my God.
264
I'm sorry.
265
I'm not sure what you're doing.
266
Lewis, what are you doing?
267
Oh, well, you asked.
268
So, you know, I thought I'd do some research.
269
That's really nice, Lewis.
270
It's just you didn't need to do that.
271
No, but I've got way too much time on my hands.
272
Hey.
273
Look, I found this really cool stuff.
274
Mermaid myths have been around for at least 3,000 years.
275
And people really believe in that stuff?
276
Yeah, apparently.
277
Sometimes they were good omens, sometimes they brought up.
278
Yeah, apparently.
279
Apparently, sometimes they were good omens, sometimes they brought trouble with them.
280
What kind of trouble?
281
Oh, no. Just ignore him.
282
Let's go back.
283
Watch out!
284
Nervous?
285
What do you want, Zane?
286
My father didn't appreciate having the water police knock on his door.
287
Well, you shouldn't have told me to keep the Zodiac.
288
I don't like people making me look bad, Cleo.
289
Especially chicks like you.
290
In front of your dad, you mean, Zane?
291
Sounds like you're scared of him.
292
You think you're better than me, Lewis?
293
Is that it?
294
Almost everyone's better than you.
295
Live with it.
296
Tough guy.
297
You've got yourself a protector, have you, Cleo?
298
You and whose army?
299
It's not gonna do you any good.
300
You know, Cleo, one of these days, with or without Lewis, something really bad might happen to you.
301
I'm sorry.
302
So we climb out of the water and everything's back to normal when we're dry.
303
Like nothing ever happened.
304
But it did.
305
Oh, it's gonna be the best experience of my life.
306
I mean, are there even words for that?
307
I don't think so.
308
Wait!
309
You will never believe what just happened.
310
And it grows even more.
311
Where's extra water coming from?
312
I don't know.
313
Did I do that?
314
It wasn't me.
315
Okay.
316
This is a very good idea.
317
I'm not sure.
318
I'm not sure.
319
I'm not sure.
320
I'm not sure.
321
I'm not sure.
322
I'm not sure.
323
I'm not sure.
324
OK, this is over the top.
325
I'm getting tingles now.
326
All I did was...
327
Not fair.
328
Why don't I get to do the cool stuff?
329
I don't think cool is the word.
330
It's scary.
331
But you should have seen the look on Zane's face.
332
This isn't funny.
333
We've got to keep this a secret from everyone.
334
We could end up dissected or in the circus or something.
335
So this secret, it's just between the three of us?
336
Our secret.
337
Our responsibility.
338
Whatever happens, we're in this together.
339
Doesn't mean we're married, does it?
340
Now, that was actually funny.
341
We gotta stick together Cause the best things come in three
342
I want it to last forever All the magic and fun at sea So come on, this is our adventure
343
Let's go tellin' where we'll go
344
All I want is just to live amongst the age to all Cause I'm no ordinary girl I'm from the deep underworld,
345
the land of sea I've got the power if I just believe Cause I'm no ordinary girl I'm from the deep underworld,
346
the land of sea The world's my oyster, I'm the cloud So ordinary Come along, it just gets bitter
347
So much to do in just a little time Cause it
348
all depends on whether you wanna leave the land above behind Cause I'm no ordinary girl,
349
I'm full of besties, the underworld The land or sea,
350
the world's my oyster underclass No ordinary girl

Shadow & Learn English | Practice shadowing with Moana 2: You Need Someone to Lift You Up!
KidsTeensDaily Conversation
Who Will Benefit from This Video?
This video is perfect for intermediate English learners focusing on english speaking practice and real-life conversation flow. It’s ideal for those aiming to improve listening comprehension and mimic natural dialogue, as the casual exchanges between characters mirror everyday interactions. Whether you’re prepping for social conversations or want to refine your shadowing skills, the mix of relaxed banter and slightly dramatic moments offers varied practice opportunities.
Key Words & Idioms to Master
The dialogue is packed with standout phrases that boost fluency. Here are a few to add to your toolkit:
- "Motoring": Moving quickly (e.g., "You were really motoring there"). Great for describing speed in casual settings.
- "Fatal flaw": A critical mistake that ruins a plan (e.g., "There's a fatal flaw here"). Useful for pointing out problems in ideas or actions.
- "The world's my oyster": A confident way to say you have endless opportunities (e.g., "The world's my oyster, I'm the pearl"). Perfect for expressing optimism.
- "Swim for it": To escape by swimming (e.g., "Looks like you'll have to swim for it"). A common phrase in urgent or playful contexts.
Nailing the Accent & Rhythm
To sound natural, focus on the relaxed Australian accent in the video—shortened vowels and a laid-back pace. Use the shadowing technique by pausing the video, repeating lines, and matching the tone. Pay attention to how characters stress words for emphasis, like "Awesome!" or "This isn't happening." For shadow speech practice, loop 5-second clips of the dialogue and mimic the rhythm: notice how questions rise in intonation ("Can you help?") and statements fall ("I'll do better than that tomorrow"). A shadowing site can help track your progress, but even repeating directly from the video builds muscle memory. Prioritize fluency over perfection—this video’s casual vibe rewards natural delivery.
Practice daily with these tips, and you’ll soon notice your speaking flows more smoothly, just like the characters in the episode. Remember: shadowspeaks best when you focus on mimicry and context!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | I've seen · It's been · I've told |
| Advice with “should” should + verb — saying what is a good idea | should try · Shouldn't we concentrate · should go |
| Comparatives -er than / more … than — comparing two things | better than |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — an action in progress at a moment in the past | were really motoring · was getting |
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.
