Hey, you worry too much.
5
I don't know.
6
What if the old stories are true?
7
Oh, come on, Giacomo.
8
You really believe in sea monsters.
9
Too many strange things have been seen in these waters.
10
They're all just stories.
11
Don't taste to keep us away from a great fishing spot. But, Tommaso...
12
They're fine.
13
Non preoccuparti, Giacomo.
14
Ah, that's more like it.
15
Oh, what is that?
16
Oh, parmille sardine!
17
You missed.
18
Let's go before it comes back for us.
19
I-I told you they were real.
20
Oh, what a monster.
21
Horrifying.
22
AHHHHH!
23
Fish out of the barn!
24
Fish out of the barn!

No, no, no!

Mom's gonna kill me!
27
Katarina!
28
Wait!
29
Oh, good morning, Mr. Branzino.
30
And also, I'm sorry.
31
Well, how's Mrs. Branzino?
32
Hi, Luca.
33
Excuse me, ma'am, have you back?
34
Yes!
35
Giuseppe!
36
Get back here!
37
You wanna run off like your buddy Enrico?
38
Rico?
39
Because I've got news for you.
40
He's either dead or he's out there somewhere, seeing the world.
41
But he's probably dead.
42
Okay, that's everyone.
43
Mona Lisa, why are you smiling?
44
Anyone else in there?
45
Giuseppe?
46
What did we just talk about?
47
Ah, Giuseppe.
48
Alright, let's head out.
49
Hello!
50
Morning!
51
Hi, this is Anna Gosta!
52
Hey, Luca!
53
Good morning!
54
Good morning!
55
Okay, all clear.
56
Let me know if you need anything.
57
Anyone?
58
No?
59
Okay.
60
you I was going to sleep.
61
I'm going to sleep now.
62
I'm going to sleep.
63
I'm going to sleep.
64
Oh, my God.
65
Land monsters!
66
Everybody under the rock!
67
Luca!
68
Launch is ready!
69
Be right there!
70
Come on!
71
We gotta get back!
72
They're two minutes late.
73
Was there a boat?
74
Did you hide?
75
Yes, yes.
76
I'm sorry.
77
I'm sorry.
78
I'm sorry.
79
I'm sorry.
80
I'm sorry.
81
Was there a boat?
82
Uh...
83
Did you hide?
84
Yes, Mom.
85
Because if they catch even a glimpse of you, you'd think they'd come around to meet new friends.
86
No!
87
Make small talk.
88
I-I-I don't!
89
No, they're here to do murders.
90
Uh-huh.
91
So I'm just making sure you know.
92
Thanks, Mom.
93
When I was a kid, we'd go weeks without seeing a boat.
94
And let me tell you, they did not have motors.
95
Just a sweaty land monster with a paddle.
96
Hi, Grandma!
97
Mwah!
98
Hey, Bubble.
99
Hi, Dad!
100
Look at Pinchy Pesa.
101
She's molting.
102
Oh, it's magnificent.
103
Now, here's a champion show crab if I ever saw one.
104
Oh, nice.
105
Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't look her in the eye.
106
Sorry.
107
But don't apologize.
108
She can sense weakness.
109
Oh!
110
Come eat, Luca.
111
Come on, we better beat those Branzinos at the crab show this year.
112
Everyone thinks Bianca Branzino's so great with her prize-winning crabs and amazing dolphin dolphin impression, please.
113
Anyone can do that.
114
Ahhhh!
115
Right?
116
I don't know why dolphins even sound like that.
117
You know, why don't they just talk?
118
Luca.
119
Huh?
120
What's on your mind?
121
I-I-I will-I was just wondering.
122
Where do boats come from?
123
The land monster town!
124
Just above the surface.
125
I beat a guy at Cards there once.
126
Mom!
127
What are you doing?
128
He's old enough to hear about it.
129
You've been to the surface and done the change?
130
No, no, the end.
131
Shut it down.
132
I was just curious.
133
Yeah, well, the curious fish gets caught.
134
We do not talk, think, discuss, contemplate, or go anywhere near the surface.
135
Got it?
136
Yes, Mom.
137
Here.
138
Now let's get back to work.
139
Hey.
140
Look me in the eye.
141
You know I love you, right?
142
I know, Mom.
143
You're a little worried about him, right?
144
No thanks, I'm full.
145
No. Hmm.
146
Hmm.
147
Hmm.
148
Hmm.

About This Lesson

You're practicing English with "Luca First 9 Minutes - Exclusive (2021) | Vudu" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.

Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.

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.
