Shadowing Practice: LEARN ENGLISH with Frozen - Learn English Speaking with Video

Ah yeah!

I'm back with another lesson with Disney movies,

this time with scenes from the classic Frozen and the new just released Frozen 2.

This will be a great opportunity for you to get all warmed up for it

and to learn some specific vocabulary related to the weather, the seasons and even poetry.

And if you're new here, every week we help you to understand fast-speaking natives without without getting lost, without missing the jokes, and without subtitles.

Just like Arsh who says that we helped him to pass his recent English exam

and will help you to reach your English learning goals too.

All you have to do is hit that subscribe button

and the bell down below so you don't miss any of our new lessons.

Finally, I've got a very special opportunity to tell you about in just a little bit, but for now, let's jump into this fun and entertaining lesson with Frozen.

Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.

Really?

I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat.

Nope.

But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come.

Um...

Bees the buzz, kids a-blow dandelion fuzz, And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer.

I drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand, Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer.

I'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm, And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm.

And I can't wait to see what my buddies all think of me.

Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer.

The hot and the cold are both so intense, put them together it just makes sense.

Rrrra da da da da da da da da da da da da Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a...

Happy snowman!

When life gets rough I like to hold on to my dream Of relaxing in the summer sun,

just letting off steam Oh the sky will be blue,

and you guys will be there too When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!

I'm gonna tell him.

Don't you dare. In summer!

Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.

As you probably know, in the Frozen movies, Olaf is a magical snowman that moves and talks like a real person.

In this scene, which is the first appearance of Olaf, we learn that even though he's a snowman, he loves the idea of summer.

If you like or love the idea of something, that means you imagine that you would like it, but you have not actually experienced it.

I love the idea of living in Paris, sitting in a cafe every morning with a coffee and a croissant.

So what's funny here is that because Olaf has never experienced warm weather in his life, he doesn't understand that snow and ice melt in summer.

That is, they become liquid.

Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.

The phrase, all things something, means everything related to something.

Example, this guy consumes all things baseball.

He's really obsessed with it.

So in this sentence, all things baseball means everything related to baseball.

I love the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.

In this line, Olaf says that he likes everything that is hot or related to being hot.

But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it would be like when summer does come.

As you know, the verb do is used as an auxiliary verb

when we want to make questions and negative statements such as, do you like it? and I do not like it.

So they are not normally used in affirmative sentences.

However, we can use them for emotive emphasis when we feel strongly about something.

Example, he thinks I don't love him but I do love him.

I really do.

Prophecy Pity So wait wait,

I think I do see something yes, I do something dark you are in grave danger

Specifically in the case of what Olaf says in the song

well the verb does adds emphasis it could also be replaced

by a word such as finally being I like to close my eyes

and imagine what it'll be like when summer finally comes Father,

I hate being forced into this if I do marry I want it to be for love Jasmine

Bees the buzz kids a blow Dan the lion fuzz a

bee is the insect scene here in this context To buzz

is to make a continuous low volume sound like insects do when flying.

To blow is to create a flow of air.

For example, people blow candles out on birthday cakes.

A fuzz is a fluffy mass of hair or fiber like this ball.

A dandelion is a type of flower.

The seeds of a dandelion are easily thrown into the wind if you blow them.

In fact, we believe that you can make a wish and blow the dandelion and it may come true.

So here, Olaf is describing summer and mentioning things he thinks he will enjoy or find beautiful.

The sound of bees buzzing and kids blowing dandelions.

In this context, to be up against something is to be putting your weight on it.

Example, he has his back up against the wall.

Olaf is talking about lying on and touching the sand, like people do on the beach.

and probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer.

Tan is a light brown color.

It can also be both a verb and a noun, referring to skin becoming bronze in the sun.

Look how tan she is.

She got a nice tan during her trip to Mexico.

Gorgeous means beautiful or extremely attractive.

Gorgeously is the same as beautifully or in a beautiful way.

So you can learn a ton by doing the things you love, like watching series like Friends and movies like Frozen, but is it enough?

Well, in my experience learning six different languages, I have always found that native media and keeping it fun are essential parts of the process.

But sooner or later, I would always get stuck and this made me lack confidence because I knew I was making mistakes,

but I didn't really know what I needed to focus on learning to correct them.

And my friends weren't corrected me and they didn't really know either how to explain the grammar to me.

So at some point just music, books and series aren't enough.

You need the guidance of a teacher.

So for me having the guidance of a professional who has

tons of experience helping people who are having the same learning challenges is essential

and that's why I'm excited to present a great new opportunity from our friends over at Lingoda.

They are going to help you to improve your speaking skills

103

So Lingoda has a motivating study challenge called the sprint and this is really fantastic because it gets you committed to learning.

122

Just imagine if in three months you could confidently converse with a native, or get an exciting new job, or move to another country,

123

and you could do it all for free by completing Lingoda's Sprint.

124

Best of luck to all of you that participate in the Sprint, and now let's get back to this lesson with Frozen.

125

A breeze is a light, cool wind. For example, one of the nicest things about being at the beach on

126

a hot summer day is feeling the gentle breeze off the water.

127

And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm.

128

Solid water refers to ice or snow.

129

As everyone but Olaf knows, when ice or snow get warm, they become water.

130

If you say that you can't wait for something or to do something, that means you are very excited about it or anxious to do or experience it.

131

Example, I can't wait to see you.

132

I know I miss you too.

133

I can't wait to see you.

134

I love you.

135

Bye.

136

So I'll come by in a couple hours and pick you up?

137

Alright, I can't wait.

138

Okay, don't worry.

139

I'm not gonna just take you out for donuts.

140

No!

141

Hahaha!

142

Buddy is an informal way to refer to a close friend.

143

Oh man!

144

I can't believe I locked myself out again!

145

Hang on, buddy!

146

Which of these other words are also colloquially used to refer to a friend?

147

Pal, mate, bro.

148

Did you say A, B, or C?

149

In fact, all of them are correct ways to refer to a friend.

150

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Mowgli, my friend, my buddy, my pal.

151

Slow down a second.

152

Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer.

153

Cool is an adjective that has two different meanings.

154

When collocated with people, it refers to somebody who is being calm and in control.

155

As Olaf used it here, it can also serve as slang for fun, impressive, or in style.

156

Example, you like Sam, he's a very cool guy.

157

When referring to temperature, cool means slightly cold, that is just a little cold, normally in a way that is nice and pleasant.

158

So here Olaf says this meaning he thinks he will be more in style and impressive to his friends in the summer.

159

But the joke is that you could also interpret it with irony, as he would actually melt for getting warmer, not cooler.

160

The hot and the cold are both so intense, put them together, it just makes sense!

161

Put um is a contraction of put them.

162

It's very common to reduce them to just um, which changes the pronunciation of it, actually making it a lot easier.

163

When this happens, natives will almost always connect the verb with um as if they were one single continuous sound.

164

I'll help them clean the room.

165

I'll help them clean the room.

166

Be careful, the correct pronunciation is um, not aim.

167

What's more, when a T is between two vowel sounds in American English, it sounds like a D in words like hiding or metal.

168

Take these for example. That is easy.

169

That is easy.

170

Just put some, uh, honey on those.

171

Honey?

172

Really?

173

Yeah, you put it on, you lick it off, you feel much better.

174

It's nature's ointment.

175

I put it everywhere.

176

So he doesn't say put them or even put-um.

177

He says put-um.

178

Check out these other examples with the TV series Friends.

179

You have to put them together yourself, but they cost a little less.

180

That's why we're gonna be in the room.

181

You have to put them together yourself.

182

I say we just put them all together, and if they can't deal with it, who cares?

183

I do!

184

That's who?

185

I say we just put them all together, and if they can't deal with it, who cares?

186

Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle!

187

To stay in is to decide to stay inside, or at home, instead of going out.

188

Example, we went to the movie theater last night, but tonight we're staying in.

189

To cuddle with somebody is to put your arms around somebody and hold him or her in a loving way.

190

Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a...

191

Happy snowman!

192

As you know, the running joke in this song is

193

that Olaf is completely ignorant to what would actually happen to him as a snowman in the summer.

194

He would likely become water and thus form a puddle on the ground, like seen in this image.

195

So the joke in this line is that it would be a perfect rhyme if it were

196

Winter's a good time to stay and then cuddle! but put me in summer and I'll be a puddle.

197

But Olaf is so unaware of the facts that he doesn't make the rhyme, and instead says he would be a happy snowman.

198

When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream.

199

In this context, if something is considered to be rough, it is hard or difficult.

200

To hold onto something is to hold something tightly or carefully

201

so that you do not drop it or it does not fall.

202

Hold onto your seat, we're going off-road.

203

It can also mean to keep something, as opposed to losing it, throwing it away, or giving it to somebody else.

204

Hold onto this map, you will need it to find the exit.

205

Okay, but only if you give me a drag.

206

Okay.

207

No, no, why don't you hold on to that one?

208

When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream.

209

So in the case of this line, we see a more figurative use of this phrasal verb.

210

Olaf means that when life gets difficult, he likes to remember and keep his dream or goal alive.

211

To let off steam is an idiomatic expression meaning to do

212

or say something that helps you to get rid of strong or tense feelings or energy.

213

She jogs after work to let off steam.

214

hard this semester.

215

I really need to go crazy, you know?

216

Blow off some steam.

217

Sure, sure.

218

Look, I don't know if your plans are finalized yet, but hey, I know another great way to blow off steam.

219

What?

220

Are you into crafts at all?

221

This is actually another case of a funny double meaning.

222

The word steam refers to water in form of gas, normally obtained when you heat it up.

223

So, literally speaking, if something is letting off steam, like the soup, it is so hot that the water in it is becoming gas.

224

When I finally do what frozen things do in summer, I'm gonna tell him.

225

Don't you dare.

226

If you say to someone, don't you dare do something, you are telling them not to do it and letting them know that you are angry.

227

The element never existed, I didn't take it away.

228

Science took it away.

229

Be mad at science.

230

Don't you dare use science against me.

231

Science is my best friend.

232

Literally, to dare to do something is to have the courage to do something.

233

If you are daring somebody else to do something,

234

you are challenging or provoking them to try to do something. In Summer!

235

Now let's watch and learn with a short clip from Frozen 2, where we see Olaf actually got to experience and survive warm weather,

236

but in doing so, starts to deeply reflect upon life and the change of the seasons.

237

Enjoying your new permafrost, Olaf?

238

I'm just living the dream, Anna.

239

Oh, how I wish this could last forever.

240

And yet change mocks us with her beauty.

241

What's that?

242

Forgive me, maturity is making me poetic.

243

Tell me, you're older and thus all-knowing.

244

Do you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?

245

Uh, no. Really?

246

Wow, I can't wait until I'm aged like you so I don't have to worry about important things.

247

Enjoying your new permafrost, Olaf?

248

Permafrost refers to something, more commonly to an area of land, that is permanently frozen due to being under extreme low temperature.

249

In Frozen 2, Olaf is now made of permanent snow, a magical improvement made by Elsa.

250

I'm just living the dream, Anna.

251

To live the dream is to have the lifestyle that you always wanted to have, especially after becoming very successful or rich.

252

I always wanted to be a famous singer, and now I'm living the dream.

253

Oh my God, that took you five seconds.

254

Was it that long?

255

The man is a god!

256

And he's still out there living the dream.

257

So I'm going to Sydney tomorrow with Bon Jovi.

258

I'll be on the road the rest of the year.

259

Olaf says he's living the dream.

260

Because of his permafrost magic, now he can experience summer.

261

Oh, how I wish this could last forever.

262

As a verb, to last is to continue for a period of time.

263

In other words, to continue to exist.

264

Okay, so alright, I haven't been in a relationship that lasted longer than a month.

265

Okay, I haven't had a real boyfriend.

266

Olaf is saying he wishes lying down and relaxing like he's doing now could be something that lasts forever, that never ends.

267

And yet change mocks us with her beauty.

268

What's that?

269

Forgive me, maturity is making me poetic.

270

So Olaf is saying that maturity, that is becoming older and having more experiences in life, is something that is making him speak poetically.

271

If something is or sounds poetic, it expresses emotions and ideas, as if it were coming from a poem.

272

In this case, yet means the same as despite that.

273

It is used to add something that seems surprising because of what you have just said.

274

If you mock somebody, you are making fun of them, ridiculing them, maybe while treating them with anger and contempt.

275

Olaf is poetically saying here that the changes that happen in the universe and nature is something that mocks humans,

276

that makes them feel insignificant or ridiculous because of the inability to control it.

277

What's that?

278

What's that is an expression you can use when you don't understand or didn't hear what somebody said, and want to ask what did you say, or repeat that.

279

It's good to meet you, Sam.

280

It's your bed, right?

281

What's that?

282

Your bed, it's too soft.

283

When I was over there I'd sleep on the ground, use rock for pillows like a caveman.

284

Now I'm home, lying in my bed and it's like...

285

Lying on a marshmallow.

286

I feel like I'm gonna sink right to the floor.

287

Tell me, you're older and thus all-knowing, do you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?

288

Thus is an adverb and another alternative to saying consequently, therefore for.

289

Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the finals, thus becoming champion.

290

All-knowing is an adjective meaning knowing everything.

291

Someone who's all-knowing is aware of everything.

292

For example, most religions describe God as all-knowing.

293

The phrase, do you ever,

294

simply means do you normally do something.

295

Do you ever go to the gym?

296

Uh, no. Really?

297

Wow, I can't wait until I'm aged like you so I don't have to worry about important things.

298

Ancient means very old.

299

Olaf is saying that he is very excited about the idea of growing older.

300

Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.

301

Really?

302

I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat.

303

Nope.

304

But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come.

305

Um...

306

Bees the buzz, kids a-blow dandelion fuzz, and I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer.

307

I drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand. And...

308

Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer...

309

I'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm...

310

And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm...

311

And I can't wait to see what my buddies all think of me.

312

Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer.

313

Da-da, da-do.

314

Ah-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bo.

315

The hot and the cold are both so intense, put them together.

316

It just makes sense.

317

Ra-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-do.

318

Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer, and I'll be a- Happy snowman!

319

When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream Of relaxing in the summer sun,

320

just letting off steam Oh,

321

the sky will be blue And you guys will be there too When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!

322

I'm gonna tell him.

323

Don't you dare. In summer!

324

Enjoying your new permafrost, Olaf?

325

I'm just living the dream, Anna.

326

Oh, how I wish this could last forever.

327

And yet change mocks us with her beauty.

328

What's that?

329

Forgive me, maturity is making me poetic.

330

Tell me, you're older and thus all-knowing.

331

Do you ever worry about the notion that nothing is permanent?

332

Uh, no. Really?

333

Wow, I can't wait until I'm aged like you so I don't have to worry about important things.

334

Awesome, I hope that you had a lot of fun with this lesson with Frozen, and that it'll help you a lot when you go and see Frozen 2 in theaters.

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.
