You don't have to smile.

Steph, why can't you go home?

I'm having a little problem.

Steph, come over here.

Sit down and tell me what happened.

It's too terrible.

Hey, Becky, it's me.

It's Uncle Jesse.

You've got to hide me.
87
Oh, but Stephanie.
88
Just don't tell him I'm here.
89
Please, please, please.
90
Uh, coming.
91
I heard voices.
92
Who were you talking to?
93
Uh, nobody.
94
I'm a talk show host, and I was practicing talking.
95
You're beautiful.
96
Way too beautiful for a business dinner.
97
Oh, Jess, those are lovely roses.
98
Are they for me?
99
Maybe.
100
Well, yeah, I was gonna come over and apologize for acting jealous about that McIntyre creep.
101
Look at this.
102
I'm doing it again.
103
I'm sorry.
104
Will you forgive me?
105
Of course I forgive you.
106
This was very sweet.
107
Well, thanks for coming by.
108
I'll call you later and tell you all about my boring dinner.
109
Bye.
110
Whose suitcase is that?
111
Um, well, it's not what you think.
112
Someone's in the closet, isn't there?
113
Who's in the closet?
114
What closet?
115
It's McIntyre.
116
McIntyre, come on out.
117
I got your business dinner right here.
118
Jess, Jesse.
119
Just as I suspected.
120
Nobody's in here.
121
Steph, what are you doing here?
122
Just hanging around.
123
Come on down.
124
Let's go.
125
Steph has a super-giganto dinosaur-sized problem, Jesse.
126
Well, she does, huh?
127
Why don't you sit down over here and tell Uncle Jesse about it?
128
Okay.
129
I sort of drove Joey's car into the kitchen.
130
You're the one who drove Joey's...
131
Steph, you can't even drive.
132
You're telling me.
133
No wonder you're moving to Mexico.
134
Hey, don't worry about it.
135
My car!
136
Rosie!
137
This is my punishment for not filling the ice cube tray?
138
Are you saying you didn't know about this?
139
If I did, don't you think I would have bought a bigger jar of touch-up paint?
140
Danny, when I left, Stephanie was watching my car.
141
What the heck happened?
142
Well, here's someone who knows what the heck happened.
143
I was taking a make-believe drive to the country, and I wanted to play the radio.
144
So I turned the key, and the next thing I knew, I was in the kitchen.
145
I should have never left those keys in the ignition.
146
It's not your fault, Joey.
147
I had no business being in your new car.
148
It was perfect.
149
Well, almost.
150
The radio didn't work.
151
Now he tells me.
152
Go ahead, Dad.
153
Yo, scream.
154
Punish me.
155
Or if you want, I'll just move to Mexico.
156
Right now, I want you just to wait upstairs in your room until I can figure out what to do with you.
157
Come on, Steph.
158
Here, Deej, take your sister upstairs.
159
Make sure she doesn't skip the country.
160
My turn to drive the car.
161
You know the rules, Michelle.
162
Nobody gets to drive until they're eight years old.
163
Rosie!
164
Don't cry.
165
Be a big boy.
166
Steph, there is nothing you could ever do that would make me stop hugging and kissing you.
167
Nothing?
168
Come here.
169
Look, you have to know that no matter what you do wrong, and no matter how angry I get, I am always going to forgive you.
170
Because I love you.
171
How can you still love me?
172
I wrecked Joey's car and I broke the house.
173
Steph, those are just things.
174
We can always buy a new car or we can put up a new wall.
175
But there's only one Stephanie Judith Tanner.
176
And you could never be Rippling.
177
Gee, I never thought of that.
178
I think about it every day.
179
I love it.

Practice Tips

To maximize your learning experience from this transcript, follow these practical shadowing tips to improve your English pronunciation:

  • Start Slow: As you begin, listen to the video at a slower speed if possible. Repeat phrases and sentences after the character has spoken. This will help you internalize the rhythm and intonation.
  • Focus on Emotion: Pay attention to the characters' emotions, especially when they express surprise or confusion. Mimicking their tone and inflection can enhance your expressiveness in speech.
  • Break It Down: If certain phrases or words are challenging, break them down into smaller parts. Work on pronouncing each segment before putting them back together.
  • Record Yourself: After shadowing, record your voice imitating the characters. Listening to yourself can highlight areas for improvement, especially in pronunciation.
  • Practice Regularly: Make shadowing a daily habit on our selected shadowing site. Consistent practice is key to enhancing your fluency and becoming more comfortable with English.

Incorporating these practices into your English learning will not only help you improve your shadow speech but also equip you with the skills needed for effective communication in everyday situations!

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.
