20
RAAAGH!
21
UGH!
22
OOF!
23
OOF!
24
What are you doing?
25
This place is crawling with wolves!
26
Get out!
27
AHAHAHAHA!
28
Hey, isn't that the guy who hammered you in the face?
29
OOF!
30
I do not like that guy.
31
We need to get to that tower without being spotted by those wolves.
32
Got it.
33
Stealth mode.
34
Oh When
35
you proclaim
36
something, you announce it publicly.
37
A feast!
38
I proclaim a feast to knights hence!
39
We are the dragon warrior and the furious five and we are here to bring you to justice!
40
If you catch some criminals, you might want to bring them to justice, which means capturing and punishing them,
41
or making sure they face illegal consequences.
42
Who better to bring this maniac to justice than me?
43
What are you doing?
44
This place is crawling with wolves!
45
Ok, so to crawl means to move slowly along a surface.
46
Bugs are crawling.
47
When the place is crawling with bugs, it means there are lots of bugs there.
48
It may also be used in a figurative sense to describe a place filled with people or animals in large numbers.
49
This place should be crawling with gauze.
50
Hey, isn't that the guy who hammered you in the face?
51
I do not like that guy.
52
While a hammer is typically a tool, the verb to hammer means to hit hard or strike with force.
53
And do you know what the word hammered means?
54
i hope it doesn't happen to you often if you know the meaning of this informal word pause this video
55
and write the answer in the comments
56
and by the way i promised to tell you more about the flash cards
57
that we created for this lesson has it happened to you
58
that you got a chance to practice your english speaking by having a real conversation online
59
or face to face and that word
60
that you know you've learned just doesn't come to you at the moment
61
when you need it i know how frustrating
62
that feels to be in a conversation and find yourself pausing frequently
63
because you're forgetting all the useful words you know
64
that sucks i've been there myself this feeling
65
when you know what you want to say and you just want to be able to express your own thoughts
66
just like you do it in your native language.
67
Let me tell you, this is exactly what the real-life app can help you with.
68

70
Plus, with the spaced repetition software that we built into the app,
71
You'll retain vocabulary more effectively by reviewing new words at carefully timed intervals, just when you're about to forget them.
72
I highly recommend you check it out.
73
The app is free to download.

76
We need to get to that tower without being spotted by those wolves.
77
Got it.
78
Stealth mode.
79
If you are easily spotted, you are easy to notice, so the spot is to see or notice someone or something, especially when it's difficult to find.
80
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I spotted several big mistakes.
81
But, but, but...
82
We've been spotted, come get us!
83
Hey, look who we are!
84
We need to get to that tower without being spotted by those wolves.
85
Got it.
86
Stealth mode.
87
Stealth mode refers to moving quietly or secretly to avoid detection.
88
This phrase is often associated with military operations, video games or spy movies, where characters need to remain undetected.
89
For example, a technology designed to make jets less detectable by radar is called stealth technology.
90
Hmm, now where there's noodles...
91
Ow!
92
Ooh!
93
We can barely hear this phrase, but one of the wolves said, foiled again.
94
This is an expression used when someone's plan is ruined or stopped,
95
and it's commonly used in cartoons or comic books by villains when their plans fail.
96
Courses!
97
Filed again!
98
Ow!
99
Hello!
100
I couldn't help you too much!
101
Yeah, okay, anyway.
102
When you're unable to avoid doing something, in other words, you do it involuntarily,
103
you say I can't help but do something a common collocation would be I can't help
104
but notice and check it out in this example from Tangled you know I can't help
105
but notice you seem a little at war with yourself here now let's watch the rest of the clip Guys!
106
Guys!
107
Hey Poe!
108
Sorry.
109
So that was stealth mode, huh?
110
Let's be honest, not one of my stronger modes.
111
We're going in there, come on!
112
This rice is raw!
113
You stole all my metal pots for a large chance!
114
Either you cook my rice, or I cook you.
115
My apologies.
116
Poe, do something!
117
How am I supposed to help her cook rice without getting caught?
118
Wait, I have a better idea.
119
One!
120
Hey, hey.
121
We're here to liberate the city and bring Shen to justice.
122
You will need help.
123
Thank you, brave sheep, but it's too dangerous.
124
I can't let you.
125
Oh, no, not me.
126
It's not safe to speak here.
127
Right.
128
I'm talking about Masters Ox and Croc.
129
They're in Gongmen Jail on Black Dragon Alley.
130
What?
131
They're still alive?
132
They must be in that jail, gathering intelligence, hatching a plot to use their awesomeness to defeat the weapon!
133
Okay, let's go!
134
Thanks, sheep.
135
Hey!
136
Stop that costume!
137
Get them!
138
Get them!
139
Oh, sorry!
140
Take that!
141
If you like cooking, you probably use pots quite often.
142
These are common kitchen utensils.
143
There is an interesting idiom with the word pot I would like to teach you today.
144
Stirring the pot is this action.
145
But when used idiomatically, it means to cause trouble and create tension between people.
146
Their plan is to liberate the city, meaning to set it free from enemy occupation.
147
They must be in that jail gathering intelligence, hatching a plot to use their awesomeness to defeat the weapon!
148
Intelligence has multiple meanings depending on the context.
149
In the scene, the phrase gathering intelligence refers to collecting secret or strategic information about an enemy.
150
You might have heard about the CIA.
151
This abbreviation stands for the Central Intelligence Agency, a US government organization that secretly collects information about other countries.
152
Hatching a plot is creating or planning something secretly, usually something bad.
153
The phrase originates from the idea of something growing or forming, like an egg hatching.
154
So, you can hatch a plot or hatch a plan.
155
Here in the Angry Birds movie, you can see the word hatch used in two different contexts when talking about eggs hatching and hatching a plan.
156
in that jail gathering intelligence hatching a plot to use their awesomeness to defeat the weapon
157
when you win a battle
158
or a competition you defeat your enemy you can also defeat
159
an obstacle by finding a way how to overcome it like here
160
when poe says they had to plan to defeat a weapon defeating an opponent
161
or obstacle is a common theme in movies where heroes overcome villains Quit clowning around and get in the car!
162
Buzz!
163
Buzz!
164
I know how to defeat Zerg!
165
You do?
166
That must be Shen's palace on the other side of the city.
167
Great!
168
We'll march into the tower and proclaim, We are the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five, and we are here to bring you to justice!
169
What are you doing?
170
This place is crawling with wolves!
171
If a place is crawling with wolves, it means there are very few wolves.
172
It's filled with wolves in large numbers.
173
The wolves are hiding.
174
Hey, isn't that the guy who hammered you in the face?
175
Which of the following best describes stealth mode?
176
Hiding behind something Walking slowly in public operating in a way that is not easily noticed or detected.
177
Fill in the blanks They must be in that jail gathering. To...
178
A blot means to secretly plant something, usually something bad.
179
That's it for today.

Who Will Love This Video?
If you’re an intermediate learner aiming to boost your english speaking practice or prep for IELTS speaking practice, this video is gold. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to learn English with YouTube while enjoying a fun story—no boring drills here! You’ll pick up everyday phrases and slang used in real conversations, making it easy to apply what you learn to your own speech. Plus, the mix of action and humor keeps you engaged, so you won’t even feel like you’re studying.
Words & Idioms to Add to Your Toolkit
The dialogue is packed with standout expressions. Let’s break down a few:
- Bring to justice: To capture and punish someone for their crimes. Example: “The team vowed to bring the villain to justice.”
- Stealth mode: Acting in a way that avoids being seen. Think: “I snuck into the kitchen in stealth mode to grab a snack.”
- Crawling with: Filled with a lot of something (usually people or animals). Like: “The park was crawling with kids on the weekend.”
- Proclaim: To announce something publicly and loudly. For instance: “She proclaimed her love for pizza to the whole room.”
These phrases are practical for shadowspeak—a technique where you repeat lines aloud to mimic pronunciation and rhythm. They’re also great for IELTS speaking, as they add variety to your answers.
Nailing the Accent & Rhythm
Po’s voice is casual and energetic, with a relaxed rhythm that’s perfect for shadowing practice. Focus on his playful tone when he jokes around—notice how he stresses words like “chaos” and “heart” to emphasize humor. For “stealth mode,” keep the “th” sound soft, not harsh. When he says “crawling with wolves,” the “aw” in “crawling” is long, like “raw.” A shadowing site can help you compare your pronunciation, but even repeating the clip 3-5 times will make a difference. Mimic his pauses and intonation—this is how you start sounding more natural in English, not just fluent.
Ready to practice? Hit play, pause, and repeat. Your speaking skills (and inner dragon warrior) will thank you!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | will be redirected · being spotted · are easily spotted |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | we've covered · you've learned · i've been |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | guy who hammered · justice, which means |
| Possibility with “might / may” might/may + verb — something that is possible but not certain | might want · may also be · might have |
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.
