Creating lesson...
1
Pick whatever you want to eat.
2
Whoa!
3
Do you have a lot of money, sis?
4
I'll get lots of pocket money for Chewsock, so I might as well spend everything now.
5
If you're spending it all, you can just throw the money at us!
6
Look at this!
7
I made a Chewsock money pouch!
8
So you're not eating anything?
9
No way!
10
I'm totally eating!
11
I'm good to do.
12
I'm saving room so I can eat a ton of honey songpion tomorrow.
13
Of course you're a total songpion ghost.
14
Not just any ghost, a honey songpion ghost.
15
Mimi only likes to eat the honey ones.
16
And you're a chestnut songpion ghost.
17
I wish we had two songpion ten times a year, so I could eat it all the time.
18
Hey, kids!
19
Wash your hands and come out quickly!
20
Okay!
21
I'm ready!
22
Mom, where's Uncle? Have y 'all been?
23
Uncle!
24
I told you to come early!
25
Why are you so late?
26
Wow!
27
Long time no see!
28
Hey, everyone!
29
Have you been well all this time?
30
Uncle, come quick and make Sanpian with us!
31
Jeez!
32
I just got here, and you're already bossing me around.
33
If each of us makes ten, it should be just right.
34
Okay.
35
Mom, where's the honey?
36
Prices went up, so we were only making chestnuts, Sompion.
37
What did you say?
38
Mimi, should I buy you a little honey seong -pyong separately?
39
No!
40
I like Holy Ones the best!
41
And if you're only making one kind, shouldn't it be the tastier Honey Ones?
42
Why do we have to make the Chester card that Chidu likes?
43
Why else?
44
Chidu's not just the eldest.
45
She's the one with the biggest presents.
46
What did you say?
47
Yeah, Mimi.
48
Every family has that one standout kid.
49
In this house, it's obviously to do.
50
What is that nonsense?
51
Chestnuts are just cheaper, that's all!
52
Mimi, I promise we'll only make Honey Sung Pyeong next year.
53
Our Mimi makes the prettiest seong -pyeong, but today… I'm done with my ten!
54
Alright, everyone smile for me!
55
Say cheese!
56
Oh, wait.
57
Scratch that.
58
It just sucks.
59
So, sweet rice cakes.
60
Zip it.
61
Wow.
62
These rice cakes look like someone stepped on them.
63
Come on.
64
Once you eat it, it doesn't matter what shape they are.
65
Try it.
66
Wow.
67
This is seriously good.
68
Once you've bought for chestnut rice cakes, you won't even glance at the sweet ones.
69
Try it.
70
It really turned out great.
71
Hey, cheer up, will ya?
72
How about a round of Yut Nori after we eat?
73
Yut Nori sounds perfect.
74
What's Chusok without a game?
75
Here I go.
76
Come on, Yut.
77
Go, go!
78
Not bad, not bad.
79
My turn.
80
Yeah, it's gay!
81
Next it's Mimi's turn.
82
Ha ha ha ha ha!
83
Nothing!
84
Hey, Mimi!
85
You're terrible at you, Nori!
86
We're doomed!
87
Hey, you can't say that's your own teammate.
88
Team siblings, how about another round?
89
No way!
90
Not playing!
91
Huh?
92
That's something that you do, Adu.
93
Hey, Mimi.
94
Let's go get something to eat.
95
I'll treat you.
96
No thanks.
97
I'm full.
98
You know, if you keep this up, Mom says she won't make Songpyeong next year.
99
How about Tukboki and Snack?
100
Huh?
101
Huh?
102
What's going on over there?
103
Wow!
104
How many flavors do they have?
105
Everything is so expensive!
106
Hey, don't worry.
107
It's my treat.
108
Just pick whatever you want.
109
I'll have that one.
110
Vanilla honey.
111
Okay, one vanilla honey.
112
And me, I'll go with apple choco.
113
This is amazing!
114
Whoa!
115
This is on a whole other level from the grocery store stuff!
116
Hey!
117
Change it to!
118
Hey!
119
Happy Chusok!
120
You guys all spending your allowance too?
121
Loads of relatives came over, so I raked it in!
122
Hey there, Mimi!
123
How is the ice cream?
124
Is it good?
125
Yeah, so good!
126
What should we get?
127
Why are there so many options?
128
I'm bad at choosing stuff like this.
129
Sunghun, the vanilla honey is really good.
130
You should try it.
131
Vanilla honey?
132
Jadu, what are you having?
133
Apple chocolate!
134
Apple chocolate?
135
One apple chocolate, please!
136
Did you say apple chocolate?
137
Sir, I'll also have apple chocolate.
138
Apple chocolate, please.
139
Oh, man.
140
J .J.
141
Doe, seriously.
142
Your tongue must be used to cheap convenience store ice cream.
143
You seriously think this tastes good?
144
Hey, Mimi, can I try a bite of yours?
145
Oh, yeah, I'm done anyway.
146
Whoa!
147
This one's actually good!
148
I want to try that, too!
149
Hey, this one's pretty nice!
150
Sir, welcome to the honey, please!
151
Sir, I want one, too!
152
This is what it feels like to be Pup -Q -Burr!
153
Hey baby, take whatever you want.
154
It's on me today.
155
Wow!
156
There's so many, sis!
157
What should I choose?
158
What about this one?
159
Cookie Berry?
160
Yup!
161
Sounds good!
162
I bet it's yummy!
163
Huh?
164
Mimi, you came back?
165
Oh, you're back too, Doodle?
166
My cousins stole a bite and begged me to get them some.
167
What did you pick?
168
This time we're getting cookie berry!
169
Then we'll take that too!
170
Sir, five cookie berries please!
171
Oh, you're Mimi, right?
172
You get a discount on whatever you pick.
173
Oh, no. You really don't have to at all.
174
What should I sell out next?
175
Oh, hey, Mimi.
176
You came back, too?
177
My cousins kept bugging me to buy more.
178
If you go with my pick again, you won't regret it!
179
Mimi!
180
Mimi, this is next week's new release!
181
You can have it!
182
Really?
183
Whoa, Mimi!
184
Are you a VIP here or what?
185
Thanks to Mimi!
186
Business has been booming here since day one!
187
Don't worry, sir.
188
I'll be a regular.
189
You'll be fine.
190
Oh, I'd be so grateful.
191
By the way, the girl you came with this morning is your older sister, right?
192
This morning?
193
Yeah!
194
That's my big sister.
195
Then I need a favor.
196
Can you give this to her?
197
Huh?
198
What for?
199
People didn't like the apple chocolate.
200
I've got a full tub left.
201
Can you tell me which flavor your sister actually does like?
202
I'm thinking of cutting that from the new menu.
203
So Chei -Chantou is the VIP, huh?
204
That outdated taste is really something rare.
205
I'll just eat them all and tell everyone how gross they are.
206
What the heck is this?
207
They're all terrible.
208
But what did my sister even do wrong?
209
Hey, where in the world have you been?
210
The Songpyeon's gone cold!
211
Why are we still talking about Songpyeon at dinner?
212
I didn't make dinner tonight, so fill up on Honey Songpyeon instead.
213
Honey Songpyeon?
214
Hey, thanks to you, Shidu wouldn't stop begging.
215
I had to make Songpyeon all afternoon!
216
What are you waiting for, Songpyeon ghost? Are you better?
217
It's good.
218
Hey, I was wrong about something.
219
You're actually the one with the biggest presents.
220
What?
221
Chidu spent all her pocket money to make honey's song for you.
222
Family always argues.
223
Just let it be and it'll blow over.
224
You should know that's what you do.
225
You're the one who matters most.
226
Oh, that's enough talk.
227
Let's eat song.
228
Whoa!
229
Mom, look at the full moon.
230
It's huge!
231
Oh, my.
232
The weather's so nice.
233
The moon looks amazing.
234
Hey, kids.
235
Let's hurry up and eat so we can all make a wish on the full moon.
236
Dad!
237
I want to go up the hill to make my wish.
238
I'll go, too.
239
Then I'm going, too.

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.
