128
She said yes!
129
You did so good.

132
Let's go head over here and figure out what the next theme is going to be.
133
Oh, my gosh.
134
Wait.
135
We're looking good at this.
136
We are on the same page.
137
I'm so happy.
138
Wait.
139
That deserves a like and subscribe, guys.
140
You guys got a like and subscribe because that was crazy.
141
Ready for the next words?
142
I'm scared.
143
Lana, you go first this time.
144

146
I'm going to go.
147
Dear.
148
Movie.
149
Movie?
150
Oh, I think I know.
151

152
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
153
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
154
Cold.
155
I'm cold right now.
156
Yeah, I know it.
157
100%.
158
I already have it.
159
I kind of think, yeah, I think we're on the same page.
160
Guys?
161
I'm already starting.
162
Goodbye, guys.
163
Okay.
164
I'm so confident.
165
Oh my gosh, we got this.
166
Am I not clocking something?
167
Guys, it's obviously frozen.
168
Guys, it's the 99 Nights movie.
169
My head is, when Lana said dear, immediately I'm thinking 99 Nights.
170
It's 100% frozen, so I'm gonna be Elsa because the cold never bothered me anyway.
171
Nightmare Nights is not a movie, but that's all I'm thinking about right now.
172
I won't be able to do this.
173
Lana probably will do something like this.
174
Mark my words, Lana's gonna become the deer.
175
Like, she's so good.
176
Oh, here it is.
177
This is the Elsa hair.
178
I'm just gonna keep it really simple.
179
I'm gonna be Dino Kid.
180
Cold deer movies.
181
You could be thinking.
182
Why am I cooking?
183
I kind of look like a Simpson right now.
184
This will be my face.
185
Oh, wait.
186
We're going to wear this pixie dress because this is really good for this theme.
187
I'm going to be a deer, I guess.
188
I'm so excited because Lana literally was like, I know exactly what you're saying.
189
I know exactly what you're saying.
190
We're so on the same page right now.
191
Am I not?
192
What is?
193
How did they get that so fast?
194
Ice queen sleeves and ice queen dress.
195
Perfect.
196
This is so good.
197
I'm doing a deer right now because that's all you can think about.
198
Maybe my brain is just 99 nights coded right now.
199
Now.
200
It's not making sense to me, but Okay, let's get rid of the changes out of the effects.
201
Oh My god, I look Think you're 99 nights, right?
202
I think that's what they're thinking.
203
Oh, let's add that.
204
Okay.
205
That looks good.
206
Oh My gosh, I got it.
207
Hold dear movies Frozen!
208
Oh, it's frozen, right?
209
I love this so far.
210

218
Okay, let's color this now.
219
Okay, and then I'm also gonna need the little horns on top on top.
220
Oh my God, wait, we can add snow in our hand.
221
Wait, we can add a snowball.
222
What's that pose where it's a desperado?
223
We're gonna be Olaf.
224
That's so funny.
225
Okay, nothing on this.
226
Make this big.
227
Rotate it.
228
And we'll do these baggy jeans.
229
We have to make our eyes blue.
230
Oh, so good.
231
And then we're going to have these shoes.
232
White?
233
Yes.
234
That looks like a pretty long braid if you ask me.
235
I think I ate on the braid.
236
I'm so happy.
237
I figured it out.
238
I figured it out.
239
Now, how am I going to do his nose?
240
Guys, I think I'm done.
241
Can we make Olaf somehow?
242
Oh my gosh, I look creepy!
243
The way I'm like taking this so seriously right now.
244
It looks so pretty.
245
I'm gonna go right over here.
246
I've never actually made Elsa in here, so I'm really proud of this.
247
How do I get the nose on my head, on my face?
248
Could I hold a microphone maybe?
249
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
250
And make it orange.
251
Yes!
252
Oh my gosh!
253
This is Olaf.
254
Oh, oh, wait guys.
255

266
Just so you know, I'm actually the goat.
267
Oh, perfect Three two one.
268
Wait Cake mix No, so Cake mix.
269
I guess I was the only person who heard of the 99 nights movie that's coming out I literally said that, but no, no, no, no, cause it's cold.
270
Wait, wait.
271
But, but, um.
272
No. Okay, so first of all, Kat, you ate that up.
273
That's crazy.
274
That is so good.
275
Cake mix.
276
Yes.
277
Didn't we literally think of the same thing?
278
And then, how did Kat catch on?
279
I thought we were thinking of the same thing.
280
Stop.
281
This whole time I literally was thinking it was 99 Nights year and I was like, wait a minute, I was like thinking of frozen like let it go.
282
Let it go.
283
Let it go.
284
Wait you ate Lana Thank you.
285
You like my Olaf?
286
I do like your Olaf Hey, you can be my child.
287
I literally said to the camera like oh my gosh I would do the deer
288
but Lana's probably gonna do the deer Oh my gosh.
289
We weren't on the same wave like this.
290
That actually shocked me.
291
I thought you knew.
292
I did too.
293
I thought you knew.
294
I'm going to make a snow angel.
295
Here, I'll give you guys snow.
296
There's snow.
297
How did you do that?
298
Snow for everyone.
299
She's using her powers for good years.
300
Let it snow.
301
Let it snow.
302
Snow didn't bother me anyway.
303
What made you think of Dino Kid?
304
Like, okay, if you were thinking 99 Nights, I'm surprised you didn't do the deer, but it makes sense what you said.
305
Yeah, because I was like, oh, I was looking at reference photos, I'm like, this is too hard.
306
I bet Lana's gonna do it, though.
307
Well, I got 99 Nights at first.
308
That's what I thought.
309
So I was gonna do the deer.
310
Honestly, so in a roundabout way, we kind of were on the same wavelength for like two seconds.
311
Yeah, I was thinking 99 Nights at first, and then I switched to Frozen because I'm like, 99 Nights is not cold.
312
Okay, so does that still count?
313
Are we still the ultimate trio?
314
We still are even if even if one of us isn't quite as on the same wavelength
315
It's time for the final round I'm scared.
316
It's okay.
317
We got it this time.
318
We're gonna redeem ourselves.
319
Heg makes you go first Red.
320
Oh cuz you're red Okay Blonde because I'm blonde Okay Friendship Friendship!
321
Oh my gosh, okay.
322
Okay, take away friendship for a second.
323
Think of red, blonde, and then add friendship after.
324
I got it, I got it, I got it.
325
I think I got it, okay.
326
Okay, bye guys.
327
I hope she got it.
328
I think it's Zong.
329
The theme is Zong.
330
But I'm also confused because they're not friends.
331
They're dating.
332
He wears red.
333
He is blonde, and he is Kat's best friend because he's a boyfriend.
334
Wait, that was so good.
335
Like, we just be coming up with themes that were all the same way.
336
Like, okay.
337
I have to be a boy for this.
338
I'm going to do the man body.
339
Let's do the man body.
340
Okay, literally just wears a red shirt, so we're going to put this on.
341
Let's do his hair, his iconic blonde hair.
342
Kind of like this?
343
Why does this look like him?
344
Okay, I think that's pretty accurate.
345
Oh, wait, why am I looking a little feminine right now?
346
Let me switch this.
347
Zong does not have abs like this, but...
348
I don't really understand these male faces.
349
I want one with a nose, at least.
350
He's got a nose.
351
I don't think any of these faces look like Zong.
352
I swear, if they don't get this, I'm gonna crash out.
353
All right, we'll do these pants.
354
I need to change his pose.
355
Why do I have a posey like this?
356
My pose is very...
357
Kat's gonna get so mad at me.
358
I should try and make his Z.
359
I don't know how to do that, but we can try.
360
We can use some of the bangs maybe.
361
Yeah, this is song.
362
Okay, let's try using the bangs.
363
Okay, let's move this down.
364
I swear, these girls better lock in.
365
Um, guys, do you think this looks like him?
366
Oh my God.
367
Guys, comment down below if we're the ultimate trio.
368
And if you love us filming together, leave a like and a subscribe because we're the goats.
369
He needs more excited eyebrows, like expressive and happy.
370
Hold on, I need to do a pose.
371
Oh.
372
I need to have him stand like a mannequin.
373
Then it can be easier.
374
There we go.
375
Now the Z won't move.
376
Okay.
377
No, that's not a, okay.
378
I think I'm not gonna use the hair.
379
The hair is too complicated for this.
380
Let's just use this headband out.
381
We'll rotate it forward.
382
What would he be holding?
383
He likes soccer.
384
He loves Ronaldo.
385
This is so ugly.
386
I wonder if these two are able to recreate him.
387
I'm gonna start heading to the runway.
388
I hope they're good.
389
Wait, I don't even know how to make a Z.
390
I'm doing it the wrong way.
391
Wait.
392
Wait, it goes the other way.
393
This actually looks really good.
394
Okay, and I'm gonna give him a little doll because this doll is going to be cat.
395
Oh my God, that was so hard to do all for that.
396
What the heck, bro?
397
Okay, ladies, I'm at the runway.
398
Time is up.

Why practice speaking with this video?
This entertaining video featuring the Telepathy Challenge is an excellent resource for English learners. It showcases a fun and engaging way to practice speaking while also encouraging you to think creatively. The challenge revolves around forming a theme through word association, which fosters not only vocabulary acquisition but also enhances your ability to express ideas fluidly. As the participants try to predict one another's words, you can practice your speaking skills by shadowing the dialogue and mimicking their pronunciation and intonation. Using a shadowing app or a shadowing site can help you repeat phrases, enabling you to improve your verbal skills in an interactive and enjoyable context.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Throughout the video, several key structures and phrases emerge that are beneficial for learners:
- Use of Future Intentions: Expressions like "We're going to say one word each" and "I think I got it" showcase how to convey plans and predictions using simple future structures.
- Question Formation: The speaker asks, "Can I do Hello Kitty?" demonstrating how to form questions in casual conversation, which is essential for fostering dialogue.
- Conditional Statements: Phrases such as "If we can all correctly think of the same theme" illustrate how to use conditional clauses, which can also enhance your conversational English.
- Imagery and Descriptions: Descriptive words like "cute" and phrases related to appearance, such as "dress to impress," allow learners to enrich their vocabulary when discussing aesthetics or themes.
Common Pronunciation Traps
While watching the video, pay close attention to specific words and phrases that can be tricky to pronounce:
- Telepathy: This word can be challenging due to the combination of sounds; focus on practicing the syllables: te-lep-a-thy.
- Cute: Note the vowel sound, which can be easy to mispronounce for non-native speakers. Make sure to emphasize the 'yoo' sound.
- Whiskers: The 'wh' sound may be difficult; practice speaking it slowly: "whis-kers."
- Prediction phrases: Pay attention to fluidity in phrases like "I think I got it" to master the rhythm and flow of natural speech.
Incorporating these elements while you learn English with YouTube not only makes the process enjoyable but also efficiently targets your speaking development. Through shadow speak, you can refine your communication skills and gain greater confidence in your English abilities.
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.
