Since it's my very first day at this school.

Teacher?

I'll give up my seat.

You will?

Then Sujin, please sit next to Jadu.

Lunch time!

I packed a lot so I could eat with you today!
29
Wow!
30
Thanks so much, Sujin!
31
Oh!
32
Minji, come join us!
33
Sure!
34
Well, why Minji?
35
Minji doesn't have a lunch buddy, so I invited her!
36
Wow!
37
This is really good!
38
Thanks!
39
Sujin, try mine too!
40
Sure!

She even came with Jidoo to the hospital!

They must be really close!
43
Alright!
44
We're playing dodgeball!
45
Are both teams ready to play?
46
Yes!
47
I'm not good at dodgeball!
48
Don't worry!
49
Just dodge well!
50
I'll block everything for you!
51
Ja -Doo?
52
I'm counting on you!
53
Take this, Ja -Ja -Doo!
54
Ja -Doo, are you okay?
55
Uh, I'm fine.
56
Here it comes!
57
What's her deal?
58
If she can't play, she should sit out.
59
I'm sorry.
60
What are you getting?
61
Uh, Su -Chun's not used to dodgeball because she was in the hospital for a long time.
62
Please be understanding.
63
Chaddu.
64
Chaddu, why don't you just get out already?
65
Chaddu!
66
Got it!
67
Yay!
68
Wow!
69
You really are my true zombie!
70
Chaddu.
71
Huh?
72
Since she's holding Chaddu back, Let's just target Chadou.
73
Yes, if we hit Jadadou, this'll be over quick.
74
Chadou? That can happen!
75
What's with her?
76
Sujin, what just happened?
77
Seriously, if I'm doing it for you, Jidoo, I can do anything.
78
Sujin.
79
Jidoo.
80
Guys, the ball!
81
Oh!
82
Oh!

Oh!
85
Oh!
86
Oh!
87
Oh!
88
Oh!
89
Juju!
90
Sujin!
91
You guys better leave if you don't want to get hit.
92
If you're mad, how about a rematch?
93
Is that a challenge?
94
Juju, aren't we going home?
95
Since it's my first day, my mom is probably worried.
96
I should head back.
97
Jungsujin, just go home by yourself then.
98
Fine, Sujin, go on ahead.
99
All right, let's bring it on!
100
I don't want to go alone.
101
Sujin?
102
All right, let's go together.
103
You guys go ahead without me.
104
Jadu, am I super late?
105
Huh?
106
Thank you, Jadu.
107
At my last school, I always walked home alone.
108
It was lonely.
109
Oh, no!
110
No need to thank me.
111
You'll make lots of friends here, Sujin.
112
Ninji's super sweet.
113
And Doldo and Yonsek are annoying but fun.
114
They're good guys, really.
115
But we so should've won that match today.
116
No, as long as I have you, Jidu, I'm good.
117
Sujin!
118
Have you seen Chatou?
119
She went to the restroom for a second.
120
But aren't you heading home?
121
Yup.
122
I usually go home with Chatou. With Judou?
123
Oh, right.
124
Judou's supposed to come over to my house today.
125
Your house?
126
Yeah.
127
She must have forgotten to tell you.
128
So it's okay if you head home first.
129
Right.
130
Okay, see you tomorrow.
131
Sujin!
132
Let's go!
133
Wait, where's Minji?
134
She said she was busy and went home.
135
Jidu, wanna come over to my place?
136
My mom is making her special tukbuki just for you today.
137
Special tukbuki?
138
Oh my!
139
Chatoo!
140
Come in, it's been so long!
141
Wow!
142

143
It's Mom's homemade two -meter Tuk Bucky!

Thanks for the food!
146
This is the best Tuk Bucky I've ever had!

Jadoo, it's hot out.
148
Wanna go play?
149
My mom filled up the kiddie pool.
150
Water play?
151
Wow!
152
I've only played in a plastic tub before.
153
It's freezing!
154
Friends forever.
155
Tattoo!
156
Did you have fun at Suchin's house yesterday?
157
Yep, it was super fun!
158
But hey, Minji, why'd you leave early without saying anything?
159
What?
160
Wait, but Suchin said...
161
I need to go to the bathroom.
162
Wow!
163
Another feast today!
164
Hey, Minji!
165
Come eat with us!
166
I'll just eat over here.
167
Minji?
168
I was wondering where you went.
169
After class, why don't we go hang out at the playground?
170
No, I think I'll just go home.
171
What's with you?
172
You left early yesterday and now you're eating alone? So what?
173
You've got Suchin now.
174
Go hang out with her.
175
What?
176
Are you serious?
177
She just transferred.
178
We're supposed to be nice.
179
You think I don't want to be nice?
180
Sujin told me she doesn't want my help at all.
181
Everyone, open your books to page 31.
182
Oh, no. Tijin said she doesn't need my help!
183
Hey, guys.
184
Let's play Dodgeball.

193
I think I'll just head home.
194
No way, we need more people.
195
Okay, let's do this.
196
Okay, game on. Are you joking?
197
That was weak.
198
Take this!
199
You're right!
200

201
It's nothing.
202
Wow, Sujin, that was awesome!

Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson

This speaking lesson is built on the video “The tteokbokki is spicy! / Hello Jadoo”. The speaker keeps coming back to these words: Sujin, Minji, Chaddu, dodgeball, Jidoo. This video has 236 sentences and 963 words to shadow. The speech runs for 12:42. The speaker talks slowly, about 76 words per minute, so there is time to copy every sound.

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.
