Shadowing Practice: Stuck In The Snow!!❄️🐵 🐵 Full Episodes | Curious George - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
When a monkey wakes up to see it snowed last night, he doesn't waste any time.
2
Let me help you with those.
3
Oh!
4
Let's see...
5
Coat?
6
Boots?
7
Huh?
8
Boot?
9
Hat?
10
Uh-huh!
11
Mittens!
12
Ha-ha-ha!
13
I'd say you're all ready!
14
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
15
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
16
Ha-ha!
17
Uh-uh!
18
First rule for playing in snow, you've got to get out the door.
19
Well, I'm kind of tired, George.
20
Hey, why don't you play while I make hot cocoa?
21
I think we have just enough left for two cups.
22
Ooh!
23
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
24
Playing in snow, then finishing off the good hot cocoa, this was going to be a perfect day.
25
Ha-ha-ha!
26
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
27
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
28
Ah!
29
Ah!
30
Ah!
31
Ah!
32
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
33
Ha-ha-ha!
34
Ha-ha-ha!
35
Ha-ha-ha!
36
Ha-ha-ha!
37
Here was
38
all this fresh snow just itching to be played with, but it was too deep for George.
39
Hey, George!
40
Guess the city kid wouldn't have seen cross-country skis before.
41
It's the most fun way to travel on deep snow.
42
I've got an old pair of skis you can have.
43
Wanna come with me?
44
This was fun.
45
George took the skiing like.. like a monkey to skiing.
46
Think you can handle that big hill?
47
With skis on, George could go anywhere there was snow. Or so he thought.
48
You can't attack a steep hill straight on like that, George.
49
You gotta...
50
Zig-zag it.
51
When you stop, angle your skis like this so you don't slide back down.
52
Yeah, that's it!
53
There you go, George!
54
That's the way to do it!
55
George had a great view up here.
56
He could see houses and farms.
57
And there was his house.
58
And then he thought he'd better head home right now,
59
because the man was making the last of the cocoa.
60
And no one can resist the drink-me-now power of Cocoa.
61
Not even the man with the yellow hat.
62
I wonder what that could be.
63
I'm gonna go take a quick look around.
64
You wait here.
65
This wasn't good.
66
He was getting even further from home.
67
Phew!
68
Hey, George!
69
Down here!
70
I couldn't find what made that sound!
71
I'm heading home now! Have fun!
72
At least it was all downhill from here.
73
You figured he'd be home in seconds.
74
There had to be a way to get that ski.
75
There!
76
Our way!
77
Oh!
78
Well, one ski was better than none.
79
That was awesome!
80
There was no way George could walk home in deep snow without skis.
81
I think he likes our snowshoes.
82
I think he wants to borrow our snowshoes to get to that house.
83
He probably lives there.
84
I'll give him mine.
85
Then how do you get home?
86
You can't walk on the snow without them.
87
Let's pull him home on our sled.
88
Kent, we're already late and Mom's gonna get worried.
89
We can't just leave him here.
90
How about we get ourselves home first, and then we'll give the monkey your snowshoes.
91
We live on the other side of the hill.
92
Climb aboard.
93
There's that weird noise again.
94
It's probably kids like us, riding sleds a hill or two away. On your marks!
95
Get set, go!
96
Why didn't we give the monkey the snowshoes on top of the hill?
97
Now he has to walk all the way back up.
98
I can't think of everything and a better time to bring that up would have been on top of the hill
99
Sorry monkey Later
100
George didn't realize how cold and tired he was till he tried to climb that same hill one more time It's fine.
101
It's fine.
102
Help.
103
About the only thing that kept him going was the joyous hope of Coco.
104
Now George could see what made that sound.
105
A cold, lost pig.
106
George was almost at the top.
107
The pig was way over there.
108
He didn't even know if he could help.
109
We can't just leave him here!
110
George wondered
111
how a pig got lost all the way up here, and more importantly...
112
Howie was going to get it down.
113
What they needed was a sled.
114
Oh, my God.
115
W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W!
116
I'd know that squeal anywhere.
117
It's Little Mike!
118
He got out last night before it snowed.
119
He's never even seen snow before.
120
Must have been completely mystified by it.
121
Oh?
122
Thank you, George!
123
Aww...
124
I was wondering what took you so long.
125
There's a cup of cocoa inside waiting for you.
126
Oh, yeah!
127
Well, see you later.
128
Okay, take care!
129
Skiing, sledding, bringing a pig home, then Coco?
130
This was a perfect day to be a monkey.
131
It was a nice summer morning, so George was walking the man with the yellow hat to the subway.
132
Sorry I'm walking so fast, George, but I can't be late.
133
George?
134
Well, he was when they started but George had seen something
135
so amazing he had to stop oh there you are did
136
you see a toy you want you already have a dinosaur just like that you want an oven
137
George never had a toy that could make cake.
138
Sweet, delicious cake.
139
I'm sorry, George, that's expensive, and I just bought you an expensive toy last week.
140
George, can we please talk about this later?
141
I'm late for work.
142
I'm sorry, George, but I can't buy every toy you see.
143
Be a good little monkey!
144
If the man with the yellow hat couldn't buy it, George would have to buy it himself.
145
All he needed was to get a job and start earning money.
146
But Mr. Glass didn't need a window washer today.
147
Chef Biscetti didn't need a dish dryer.
148
It was one of those days when nobody needed a monkey's help.
149
The new summer display is really gonna attract customers, Dad.
150
The palm tree goes there, beach balls on the wall, and Hawaiian lays everywhere!
151
I like it!
152
Good work, son!
153
It'll take me a few hours to pick up everything.
154
We'll set it up when I get back.
155
I could use two more hands while you're gone.
156
Ha!
157
If you had two more hands, you'd be like George!
158
I only wish I could get an employee with four hands.
159
An employee with four hands?
160
Here was someone who really needed a monkey.
161
The grocer would be so happy with monkey help, George would probably earn that whole oven in one day in one day.
162
Ah.
163
Ooh.
164
Hey, do you work here?
165
Ooh.
166
Perfect.
167
I need to choose bananas.
168
Could you help me?
169
They need to be super sweet.
170
I'm baking a banana cream pie for my mom.
171
Oh.
172
George knew one sure way to find the sweetest tasting bananas.
173
These bananas belonged under the counter, not on top.
174
How about the bunch behind you?
175
Not the bananas in front of you, the ones behind. Who?
176
How about the front?
177
Oh.
178
Try the bananas behind them.
179
Find the bananas behind them.
180
Thanks.
181
This is the best service I've ever had in any store.
182
Oh, some people don't understand buying fruit is all about taking a chance.
183
Love the new help.
184
I'm telling all my friends to shop here.
185
Oh, thank you.
186
Hmm.
187
I'm standing in front of the ice cream display and I am telling you there are no kiwisicles.
188
How about grapesicles?
189
Can you please grab me some grapesicles from behind the glass?
190
You don't like grapesicles.
191
How about lemon?
192
Can you grab me some lemon-sicles instead?
193
The lemon sickles are above the grape sickles.
194
Ah!
195
You don't like lemon sickles.
196
Well, we are running out of sickles.
197
Cherry sickles.
198
Fine.
199
Can you grab the cherry sickles?
200
They're above the lemon sickles.
201
Thanks, honey!
202
Hello!
203
Mom, can I have some frozen custard?
204
No, dear.
205
Frozen monkey?
206
No, dear.
207
We're not eating sweets, remember?
208
George decided it was time to find customers who needed help.
209
Wow, There sure are some unusually sloppy shoppers today!
210
Huh.
211
Hmm.
212
Hmm.
213
Perfect pyramid.
214
Looks like I do pretty good with no help at all.
215
Can you help me again?
216
I want the largest package, but I don't want to mess up the display.
217
No, the package under that one.
218
No, the package under that one.
219
No, the package under that one.
220
Thanks so much.
221
This is such a fun, unusual store.
222
George was thankful the grocery store didn't sell bricks.
223
That lady looked like she needed monkey help.
224
Ugh!
225
I guess my pyramid wasn't so perfect.
226
What do you have there?
227
It's the diagram for our new window display.
228
It's going to have a tree, colorful balls, and other fun stuff.
229
Oh, I can't wait to see it!
230
Me too.
231
But I can't set it up till my son gets back.
232
I'd better put the diagram in a safe place.
233
It was here a second ago.
234
The grocer didn't have to wait for his son.
235
George would set up that window display for him.
236
First, he looked for a tree.
237
He found one behind the boxes. And colorful balls.
238
And above the balls, he found some stringy fun stuff.
239
That diagram couldn't just get up and walk away.
240
I love this store.
241
I just had to come back and say Merry Christmas Huh?
242
Hey, Merry Christmas!
243
Huh?
244
Why is everyone wishing me Merry Christmas all of a sudden?
245
Your window!
246
What a great idea!
247
Huh?
248
Oh, hi, George.
249
I...
250
Whatever you're paying that monkey, he deserves double.
251
I've never had such helpful service.
252
Me neither.
253
Have you been working here all day, helping customers? And this?
254
Hey Dad, this window display you came up with is pulling in customers!
255
The store's crowded!
256
It is!
257
I guess this is our first annual Christmas in July sale, built by our Employee of the Month, George.
258
Now can we get out of this window?
259
It's July.
260
I'm roasting.
261
I know!
262
The grocer told me all about your job.
263
I am very proud of you, George.
264
Keep up the good work and you'll be able to buy that oven yourself.
265
But, I got you a little something to hold you over until you do.
266
This icing is great!
267
I'm sorry.
268
you

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.
