Don't dawdle!

She's about to wake up, watch out!

Hurry!
9
Good morning, your highness.
10
Good morning.
11
In a faraway land, there was a kingdom.
12
And in that kingdom lived a beautiful princess who was as proud as could be.
13
Even though you just woke up, you're still so beautiful.
14
This is.. for you.
15
Specially made.
16
Here you go.
17
Good morning.
18
Are you even listening to me?
19
What did I say yesterday?
20
What did I say?
21
Le-lemonade, it's good for your skin.
22
I mean, that's what they say.
23
Lemon, you say...
24
I wanted blackberry juice!
25
Is that so hard to remember?
26
No, not at all.
27
I...
28
I wasn't asking for an answer.
29
And in a not-so-glorious swamp of that kingdom, there lived a frog who didn't quite belong there.
30
Hey, fancy frog, mit another fly?
31
At this rate, you'll starve.
32
Flies aren't really my thing.
33
And what does Monsieur Frog fancy exactly?
34
He doesn't eat flies.
35
He wants meatballs and fries.
36
Such a noob-le frog.
37
Ha ha ha!
38
Sure thing!
39
We'll cook you some next time!
40
I can't believe this!
41
Just look how they treat a noble frog!
42
Oh, Monsieur?
43
Meatballs?
44
He only learned what those were yesterday.
45
I, for one, prefer Chateaubriand.
46
Is there any other frog with a collection like mine?
47
What do they know about gold and shiny treasures?
48
Oh, Monsieur, if it were the old days, you'd all know what an honor it was just to speak with me.
49
They say the morning sun shines on beautiful things.
50
What lovely rays!
51
Time for a little vitamin D, monsieur.
52
Hmm...
53
Your Highness, I'm sorry to disturb you, but the sun is shining just the way you like it.
54
The poolside is just perfect for you.
55
If you'd like, you can go enjoy the sunshine.
56
Oh, how wonderful!
57
Someone brush my hair this instant!
58
The sun is going away!
59
Huh?
60
Hello!
61
Ah!
62
A bug!
63
No!
64
My comb!
65
My comb!
66
Help me, quick!
67
I am talking to you!
68
Someone get over here!
69
A servant, a knight, I don't care who, just jump in!
70
What is all this noise?
71
You almost burst my eardrums!
72
Ah!
73
What is that?
74
Help!
75
Can't you understand what I'm saying?
76
My ears, I said!
77
You can talk.
78
I can't believe it.
79
Eww.
80
And you are all slimy too.
81
Slimy?
82
You are the slimy one.
83
How rude.
84
Did I say, who is this squeaky loud girl?
85
Is this what you are looking for?
86
My comb!
87
Yes!
88
Give it to me right now.
89
Don't touch it too much.
90
Well, no thank you, Kame.
91
This comb is mine now.
92
Alright then, bye!
93
What?
94
Wait!
95
That is mine!
96
The comb belongs to me!
97
Give it back!
98
Come on!
99
Nope, I won't give it back.
100
It is a lovely comb.
101
A perfect piece for my collection.
102
Look, I am a princess.
103
I can give you pearls, gold, whatever you want for your collection.
104
Just give me my comb.
105
I don't want pearls or diamonds.
106
I have other conditions.
107
What kind of conditions could you possibly have?
108
You are a frog.
109
Should I give you a pack of ten dried flies or something?
110
Do you want your own little swamp or something?
111
Hmm, let me think.
112
Aha!
113
I've got it!
114
I will live with you in your palace. And?
115
And you will serve me.
116
Anything else?
117
You will build a muddy little pool in the middle of your room with your own hands.
118
And every day you will bring me fresh mud. Of course.
119
That was the only thing missing.
120
You're right.
121
Anything else?
122
And in the evenings, you will dance with the servants.
123
Shake, shake, shake!
124
I Do.
125
Not.
126
Dance. For.
127
Anyone.
128
Suit yourself!
129
This comb is lovely.
130
I'll use it to brush my seaweed now.
131
Croak!
132
Wait.
133
Wait, fine.
134
Ugh.
135
I accept.
136
Here you go.
137
You caught me on a merciful day.
138
Oww!
139
Eww!
140
I'm going to be sick!
141
UGH!
142
Do not let any frogs into the palace!
143
Is that understood?
144
Huh?
145
Did she just say frog?
146
Eww!
147
What is this? So gross!
148
Yuck!
149
Ugh!
150
I think I'm going to be sick.
151
Blech!
152
The next morning, the proud princess thought it would be just another ordinary day.
153
But there was one thing she never expected.
154
Bonjour!
155
Aaaaaaah!
156
So, are you going to keep your promise?
157
You have your comb.
158
Now where is my service?
159
You, how did you get in here?
160
Wow, wow, wow!
161
This place is so big!
162
Mind your own business and get out of here!
163
Calm down a little, darling.
164
I suppose hunger has made both of us a little grumpy.
165
Shall we have steamed fish?
166
What steamed fish?
167
Yuck!
168
I can't cook fish.
169
Can't I just have someone make you bread and cheese?
170
No way!
171
I said steamed fish!
172
And you will do everything yourself.
173
Make it a small fish.
174
My stomach is very delicate.
175
Got you now!
176
Who do you think you are giving me orders?
177
Help!
178
Help!
179
She is trying to hurt me!
180
Shhh! Be quiet!
181
Hush!
182
If my father hears you, he will be very angry.
183

184

191
I am working very hard to build this career.
192
Please, please.
193
No, um, I just felt like cooking fish today.
194
That's why I came.
195
Yuck!
196
Chef, I think the Princess has lost her mind.
197
I think so too.
198
Why are you whispering over there?
199
Get back to work!
200
A little honey on the fish.
201
A little molasses.
202
Ooh, let's mix in some strawberries too.
203
So, you're going to eat steamed fish, huh?
204
Well then, here's your steamed fish!
205
Your Highness, um, it seems this fish didn't steam very well.
206
I hope it doesn't upset your stomach.
207
What?
208
Oh, this?
209
No, no, it's fine.
210
I'll eat it all up.
211
Yuck!
212
Ugh, I'm so tired.
213
Cooking is much harder than I thought.
214
Oh ho ho!
215
It looks wonderful in your hands, princess!
216
I hope it tastes as lovely as you do.
217
He he he.
218
Ew!
219
Don't compliment me again.
220
I worked so hard on this already.
221
Just eat it so this torture can finally be over.
222
I can see that.
223
You've been gone for hours.
224
I couldn't tell whether you were catching fish or cooking them.
225
Ha ha ha ha ha!
226
Oh wow, you're so funny.
227
I'd really appreciate it if you ate it quickly.
228
Ah...
229
Hmph.
230
This is absolutely delicious!
231
Ugh, honestly, I'm completely amazed!
232
You're so talented, Princess!
233
How did you know I love fish with strawberries?
234
Well, all I can say to a stomach like yours is bon appetit!
235
Oh, now it's time full!
236
Time for what?
237
A mug bath!
238
You're really going too far.
239
Well then, maybe I should shout through the window.
240
And tell your father that his daughter is planning to run away with me.
241
What nonsense are you talking about?
242
Ahem, ahem.
243
Dear King.
244
Go lie on that bed and wait for me!
245
Hehehehe!
246
This is so exhausting!
247
Last week, the princess made me spread my cloak on the ground because her shoes got muddy.
248
I remember.
249
We washed that cloak for days.
250
And because she said she didn't want to see a man without a cloak, I had to put it back on while it was still wet.
251
And later she banned us from wearing cloaks altogether.
252
Then what's this supposed to be now?
253
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
254
What now?
255
I did what you wanted!
256
Come here!
257
Let me see that bucket!
258
Perfect consistency!
259
Pour it in, pour it in!
260
Next time, my dear, bring the mud from the southern side.
261
It's much richer in minerals there.
262
Oh, oh, oh!
263
I'm slipping! Are you alright, Princess?
264
Oh Are
265
you cold princess it is so cold I am so You are a frog.
266
How can you be cold?
267
Do frogs even get cold?
268

269
These marks.
270
What are they?
271
What marks?
272
Your back.
273
Your legs.
274
You're covered in bruises and scratches.
275
How did this happen?
276
Well, that's the wild, I guess.
277
Does it hurt?
278
I'm used to it now.
279
When you have no one to protect you, you get hurt a lot.
280
But never mind that, Princess.
281
What do you mean?
282
I don't understand.
283
Anyway, sleep nice and warm tonight.
284
Good night, little froggy.
285
Good night, kind-hearted Princess.
286
Hmm.
287
Lesson one on how to live like a frog.
288
Do we have to call it that?
289
I'm not actually a frog after all.
290
All right, all right.
291
Fly catching lesson one.
292
I just swing what I'm holding, right?
293
Exactly.
294
Go for it.
295
You're so annoying!
296
A little more to the left.
297
There!
298
Right there!
299
You've got the hang of it, Princess!
300
Don't get too proud of yourself!
301
I need to get some sleep.
302
Tomorrow is the royal ball.
303
Not
304
a single croak, okay?
305
If my father hears us, we're done for.
306
Don't worry, I won't croak.
307
My daughter, is she alright?
308
Better than you think, your majesty.
309
Well, didn't you promise me something?
310
I believe you said you'd do a little dance for me.
311
I will, I will.
312
Just give me a second.
313
Hmm.
314
Hmm.
315
Your Majesty, you sent for us?
316
Yes, tell me, how has my daughter been treating you?
317
Well, actually quite well.
318
What do you mean?
319
What does she do, for example?
320
Well, she says things like, good luck with your work to us.
321
Hmm.
322
What else does she do?
323
Our princess has started cooking steamed fish in the kitchen every day!
324
Ha!
325
Fish, are you making fun of me?
326
She doesn't like anything that comes out of the water.
327
That's not all, your majesty.
328
Every day, she plays in the mud, wearing her silk dresses, and tries to catch flies.
329
She laughs to herself and talks back to someone, but there's no one there.
330
Playing in the mud, my daughter?
331
Yes, your majesty.
332
And just a moment ago, she thanked the kitchen helper for his work.
333
The poor boy was so shocked that he dropped the cooking pot and fainted.
334
Hello?
335
He's still unconscious.
336
The king couldn't understand what was happening at all.
337
But he was happy to see his daughter becoming kinder and kinder each day.
338
What is wrong with this girl?
339
Come on, everyone come to the garden!
340
Huh?
341
What's going on?
342
Come on, come on everyone!
343
I prepared this for you!
344
Go ahead, have a seat!
345
Don't be shy!
346
What did we do?
347
Why are we here?
348
My daughter!
349
What's going on here?
350
What are you doing?
351
Why did you bring everyone from the palace here?
352
Well father, I...
353
I wanted to make a thank-you dinner for everyone who works so hard in the palace.
354
Thank us?
355
Did she just thank us?
356
I can't believe it.
357
A thank-you dinner?
358
You?
359
I just feel so happy inside father saying thank you feels wonderful Here you go this lemonade is for you,
360
but you always liked blackberry juice.
361
This is good for your skin, too Thank you princess For the first time in her life,
362
the princess truly felt close to these kind people she used to pass by every day Without really knowing them.
363
Well done, little princess.
364
Well done!
365
Proud princess.
366
I finally caught you all alone.
367
Stay away!
368
No!
369
This is all my fault.
370
I know why you're here.
371
I made people chase your babies out of my garden.
372
You're their mother.
373
I know you are.
374
I'm very, very sorry.
375
I made a mistake.
376
I took you away from your home.
377
So, you know you made a mistake.
378
Yes.
379
Please come back to the garden.
380
I'll give you the nicest spot of all.
381
Can I really trust you?
382
Hmm...
383
Let me think about it.
384
You're right.
385
I'm so sorry.
386
I wish there was a way to make things better.
387
Please wake up.
388
You're not just a frog.
389
You're my only true friend.
390
What's happening?
391
You?
392
Yes, Princess.
393
It's me, your squishy little frog.
394
The Frog Prince. But.. how?
395
How did this happen?
396
Ah, let's just say it's a very long story, princess.
397
But one thing I do know, being too proud is never a good thing. Being proud?
398
Yes.
399
I was awful.
400
I was so proud that I made life difficult for everyone around me.
401
That's why a wizard turned me into a frog.
402
But thanks to your kind heart, I was finally freed from the spell.
403
Now I understand.
404
You were really teaching me not to be proud and selfish.
405
Well, I guess that's what happened.
406
Monsieur.
407
So, what will you do now?
408
It's time for me to return to my own kingdom.
409
My people haven't heard from me in a very long time.
410
There are many things I need to make right, and many people I need to apologize to.
411
From that day on, the Frog Prince and the Princess returned to their lives as very different people.
412
The Prince and the Princess shared an unbreakable friendship that stayed strong no matter how far apart they were.

Why This "Frog Prince" Clip Is Perfect for English Speaking Practice
If you’re looking to level up your english speaking practice with engaging content, this "Frog Prince" video is a goldmine. The dialogue blends everyday phrases with playful tone—ideal for mastering natural speech patterns. Whether you’re prepping for IELTS speaking practice or just want to sound more fluent, the mix of casual exchanges (like "Hurry up! Don’t dawdle!") and expressive lines ("What lovely rays!") makes it easy to shadowspeak and mimic real-life communication. Plus, the 3D animation keeps you hooked, turning practice into a fun activity—proving you can learn english with youtube without feeling like you’re studying.
Breaking Down Natural Speech: 3 Key Phrases
- "Is that so hard to remember?" – This question uses a conversational structure that native speakers often shorten ("so hard" instead of "so difficult"). Notice the rising intonation at the end, which softens the frustration—great for practicing emotional delivery.
- "Flies aren’t really my thing." – The phrase "my thing" is a casual way to say "something I like," common in daily chats. Mimicking the relaxed rhythm here will make your speech sound less formal.
- "What do they know about gold and shiny treasures?" – The rhetorical question ("What do they know...?") is perfect for adding emphasis. Practice the slight pause before "about" to nail the natural flow.
Your 5-Minute Practice Routine: Repeat, Record, Improve
Ready to boost your english pronunciation? Try this shadowspeak loop: 1) Watch a 10-second clip of the video, focusing on mouth movements and tone. 2) Pause, then repeat the lines out loud, matching the speed and emotion. 3) Record yourself. 4) Compare your recording to the video—note where you rushed or missed a stress (like "NOOB-le frog" with emphasis on "NOOB"). Do this 3x a day, and you’ll start noticing smoother speech in a week. It’s a quick win that works for IELTS speaking practice or everyday confidence. Remember: every repeat brings you closer to sounding like a native!
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.
