You must hold out that long.

And me about you.

Here are a few kiss smileys.

Tony, stop.

I'm in Turkey.

Oh, why don't you say anything?

I thought we were chilling at my place tonight.

Sorry, forgot.

How can you forget that?

Hello?
31
I'm talking to you.
32
Don't you want to answer him?

Oh, he should relax.

I'm on vacation.

I can do what I want.

Maybe I'll find a better boyfriend here.

One that makes me donor kebab every day.
38
There are lots of them here.

Come on, let's go downstairs for breakfast.

It's already 8 a .m.
44
The Borak is getting cold.

They're Americans, Dad.

I sleep late.

If you sleep long enough, you'll miss the whole day.

They're not American.
49
They're just lazy.

Maybe Martin needs a bit of today.

Resting from what?
52
What does he do?
53
He is not working at the moment.
54
Receives civil allowance.
55
Not working and getting money.
56
That is only possible in America.

Gunyadin people.
58
Good morning.
59
Are you looking forward to the day as much as I am?
60
Martin, what are you wearing there?
61
That's my favorite pair of underwear.
62
Do you like it?
63
I have another one in my suitcase.
64
I can give it to you as a gift.
65
Jala put on something right away.
66
We're here in my parents' house.
67
But it is so hot.
68
That's when I start to sweat.
69
36 degrees and it's getting hotter.
70
Don't ever lower the beat again.
71
36 degrees no fan.
72
And life doesn't seem hard to me at all.
73
Don't look at that honey.
74
It's not for your eyes.
75
You're going to put on something decent right now.
76
Or you sleep on the street.
77
Okay, but don't complain if I'm sweating.
78
Better?
79
No. You should get some clothes on.
80
I did.
81
Don't you see the socks?
82
Dad.
83
Mimmi.
84
Is everything okay with you?
85
I think Grandpa Ahmed is mad at me.
86
Everything else is good.
87
Is breakfast ready yet?
88
Yes.
89
It's on the table.
90
Cool.
91
Thanks.
92
See you soon.
93
What is that?
94
That's Boric.
95
A typical Turkish breakfast.
96
Do you try?
97
You will like it.
98
Do you also have donor kebab?
99
Donor kebab for breakfast.
100
We're not animals.
101
We're going straight into town, Lisa.
102
Then I'll show you my favorite kebab.
103
And what are we doing today, Ahmed Habibi?
104
I thought we were going to the beach.
105
You know, to enjoy the sun a bit.
106
Yes, good idea.
107
Then I can show Luca how to swim.
108
Do you even know how to swim?
109
Yes, I did some classes for a week.
110
God help us.
111
Okay, we're going straight after breakfast.
112
Perfect.
113
I'll wake Marie right away.
114
And we're going into town, honey.
115
You're going to love that.
116
Oh, who needs sunscreen?
117
It's for Luca.
118
Otherwise, he'll get sunburn.
119
That's when he finally becomes a real man.
120
Is that a good thing or what do you say, Luca?
121
Luca swim, hee hee.
122
I'll meet you back here in three hours.
123
And I always want to know where you are, yes?
124
Okay, Dad.
125
We'll get back to you.
126
Here is some money for food.
127
Don't do nonsense with that, yes?
128
We won't.
129
Don't worry.
130
Jala, see you soon.
131
Okay, we're off too.
132
The beach is at its best at this time.
133
Are there dolphins there?
134
I love dolphins.
135
Yes, definitely, Martin.
136
Team beach departure. Is that the shop?
137
Yes.
138
Mustafa makes the best kebab in the world.
139
How many times have you been here?
140
I used to eat here every day, but not for a while now.
141
And the kebab is really good?
142
I can't make any mistakes, we only have two weeks.
143
Yes trust me, honey.
144
Okay, I'm really excited.
145
Hello two kebabs with everything please.
146
Two kebabs with everything coming right away.
147
I don't want a kebab, Lisa, I'm just having an Aaron drink.
148
I know the kebab is for me.
149
Okay two donor kebabs and an Aaron four euros please.
150
But I ordered two kebabs and a drink.
151
Oh, a drink.
152
Sorry then, 350 euro.
153
I'm in heaven.
154
Hopefully the president will make donor kebab cheaper again.
155
Wait a minute, I know you.
156
Yara?
157
Hey Mustafa, long time no see.
158
What are you doing here?
159
I thought you were living in America now.
160
I wanted to show my friend your donor kebab.
161
It is just the best.
162
Jala, sit down.
163
It's all on my neck today.
164
Is the kebab free?
165
Yes, but only for you.
166
I'm staying here forever by America.
167
Sit down, I'll bring you everything right away.
168
Thanks Mustafa.
169
Aloha beach party.
170
Honey, can I go in the water?
171
Please, please, please, please, please.
172
Do you have your wings with you?
173
You know what happened last time.
174
Yes, I'll put them on right away.
175
Okay, but only for 10 minutes.
176
Yeah, that's five minutes longer than last time.
177
Hey, Ahmed.
178
Cool swim trunks.
179
Thank you.
180
It's original Turkish swim trunks.
181
And you also have the original Turkish belly.
182
What did you say?
183
We need a daybed.
184
Luca must be in the shade.
185
I think he likes to get tanned.
186
He is a baby.
187
You can never start early enough.
188
Please be quiet, Martin.
189
Okay, I'll get us some beach chairs.
190
And what do you say, Lisa?
191
I never want to eat anything else again.
192
Very good.
193
I'm serious.
194
I'm moving to Turkey and I'm just eating here.
195
Thanks for the compliment.
196
And your Aranyara?
197
Tastes just like back then, you're the best Mustafa.
198
Okay, if you need me I'm here.
199
I'll have another donor kebab for dessert.
200
Okay, I'll do it for you right away.
201
How can you eat so much?
202
There is always room for donor kebab. Is that Tony again?
203
Yes, he is texting me all the time.
204
I want him to chill out.
205
You're on vacation, you must enjoy it.
206
I blocked Marcus for two weeks.
207
He was too annoying.
208
Why is Lisa doing this to me?
209
Oh, I find that sweet.
210
He just misses me.
211
Yara?
212
Yara Guns?
213
Talon?
214
What are you doing here?
215
I was just about to ask you that.
216
Tamim, you grew up and are so beautiful too.
217
Uh, thanks.
218
I'm here with my friend Lisa.
219
Salaam Alaikum Habibis.
220
Bia Alaikum Salaam.
221
What are you doing tonight?
222
I think we're doing something with the family.
223
No, we have time.
224
What are you doing?
225
We'll meet at the beach in the evening.
226
You know how to have fun and stuff.
227
Okay, we're coming too.
228
Okay, here is my number, Yara.
229
I'll see you later.
230
Jala Martin, what are you doing there?
231
I'll reserve the lounger for us.
232
The towel even has my name on it.
233
We're in Turkey, not America.
234
There are different rules here.
235
What kind of rules?
236
It's like a jungle, only the strongest survive.
237
You must be like a gorilla.
238
Oh, that's why you have so much hair under your armpits.
239
We're here, you can get in the water now.
240
Come, Ahmed.
241
Let's build a sand castle.
242
What was I thinking?
243
I'm so full.
244
I can roll home.
245
Why did you sign up for the party?
246
I feel like I've betrayed Tony.
247
Honey, just relax.
248
Nothing has happened.
249
We're just going there to have a little fun.
250
Uh, okay, I'll think it over.
251
Plus, the guy was really hot.
252
Where do you know each other from?
253
Taylan and I went to school together.
254
I used to have a huge crush on him.
255
Maybe he's still looking for a girlfriend.
256
I meant for myself. And what about Marcus?
257
Marcus is somewhere in Germany.
258
He doesn't notice anything anyway.
259
We have to go home.
260
I want to show you something else.
261
Is it a couple of cute guys?
262
Sweet yes, dudes no. Too bad.
263
Okay, let's go honey.
264
It'll be the best surprise.
265
Yara will be so happy.
266
What do you say
267
Martin brother, do you like turkey?
268
That's exactly how I imagined our vacation.
269
A good tea with baklava later, then it's the perfect day.
270
What about the dolphins?
271
There are no dolphins here, I've never seen one here before.
272
Maybe we need to attract them.
273
How is that supposed to work?
274
I saw that in a documentary.
275
Wait a minute.
276
What are you up to, brother?
277
Aye, aye, aye, aye.
278
Martin, what are you doing there?
279
Stop that right now.
280
Everyone thinks we're crazy.
281
But trust me, it works.
282
Oh, yes?
283
I don't see any dolphins.
284
I might have to do it again.
285
No, Martin, let it be.
286
Aye, aye, aye, aye.
287
Can you stop that for once?
288
You're acting like an idiot.
289
But it works.
290
Look at the dolphin.
291
Martin is not a dolphin.
292
Is it a hippo?
293
No, it's a shark.
294
Yalla swim.
295
Ah, that hurts so much.
296
Ahmed, is everything okay?
297
No, nothing is okay.
298
The shark attacked me.
299
It's the belly that slows you down.
300
Why did you do this weird stuff?
301
That was for dolphin.
302
Maybe I've said it wrong.
303
What happened?
304
Ahmed Habibi fought a shark.
305
Unfortunately, he lost.
306
Can't we leave you alone for just five minutes?
307
You're just doing nonsense.
308
It's all Martin's fault.
309
Are you okay, honey?
310
My foot has a serious wound.
311
Yes, and it stinks too.
312
That's enough now.
313
We're going home before someone gets hurt.
314
But we wanted to build a big sand castle.
315
No, we're leaving.
316
Just ten more minutes, please.
317
No, now.
318
Okay.
319
Mom, Dad, we're home again.
320
Where are they?
321
Maybe they're still on the beach.
322
Let's go upstairs and listen to Cardus' new song. Is that Tony?
323
No, it's Talon.
324
What does he say?
325
He wants to know if we're going to the beach party tonight.
326
Say yes and ask what we should wear.
327
He says something hot.
328
Wow, that guy is really into us.
329
And what about Tony?
330
What should be with him?
331
He's chilling somewhere in New York playing Fortnite right now.
332
Who are the flowers for?
333
They're for my girlfriend.
334
Wow, she must be someone very special.
335
Yes, she is the best Chaya in the world.
336
Uh, so should I go there?
337
Of course you should, honey.
338
You're only young once.
339
And how do we get there?
340
We just sneak out at night.
341
They're all sleeping.
342
No one notices that.
343
Okay, we can give it a try.
344
Are you okay again, Ahmed?
345
Yes, it's all good, dis.
346
Don't worry, Martin.
347
A baby farts while sleeping.
348
Is that normal?
349
Just like his dad.
350
We're all going to sleep now.
351
If you need anything, knock on my door.
352
Thanks, Habibi.
353
You're the best.
354
Good night.
355
See you tomorrow.
356
Good night, you two.
357
Sleep well and rest, yes?
358
Good night, Dad.
359
Good night, Mr. Guns.
360
I'll see you tomorrow.
361
Sleep now. Is he gone yet?
362
Yes, I think so.
363
Let's move quickly and go to the beach.
364
I'm afraid.
365
Why, honey?
366
I've never snuck out before.
367
Oh, nothing will happen, honey.
368
We just cannot get caught.
369
Okay, let's move.
370
Remember, we need to be quiet.
371
Yes, no one can hear us.
372
What do you think?
373
No matter who is there, we are the hottest sweetheart.
374
Tyler will absolutely love you.
375
His name is Talon, and I don't want him to love me.
376
I thought you had a crush on him.
377
Yes, but I've got Tony now.
378
Have some fun Yara.
379
I only hear
380
Tony the whole time.
381
Yes, I love Tony.
382
Come on, let's get to the beach.
383
What's the best way to get out of here?
384
We need to go through the kitchen.
385
There we can get out to the balcony so no one hears us.
386
Okay, but let's go as quietly as possible.
387
Yes, very slowly.
388
Oh no, we were caught.
389
Donor kebab.
390
Donor kebab with mayonnaise.
391
Do you think he hears us?
392
I think he's sleepwalking.
393
Grandpa Gunz, do you hear us?
394
Donor kebab with mayonnaise and ketchup.
395
Do you think he's okay?
396
Yes, I'm sure he'll just get something to eat.
397
Come on, we must move on.
398
It's best to go straight to Yara.
399
She'll be so happy. Where is it now?
400
Grandpa must have hidden it.
401
I can smell it.
402
It's here.
403
That's it, chocolate ice cream.
404
I have to give
405
Grandpa one thing.
406
He has good taste.
407
Dad, what are you doing in the kitchen?
408
Ah, I just want to go to the bathroom for a minute.
409
And why is there chocolate ice cream in your hand?
410
Oh really?
411
Chocolate ice cream?
412
I didn't even notice.
413
Do you get up at night to eat ice cream?
414
Ah no I don't.
415
Wait a minute, why do you look so good?
416
You want to go outside.
417
Ha caught you.
418
We won't say anything if you don't say anything.
419
So this meeting never happened? Which meeting?
420
Okay, do what you want.
421
How far is it to the beach?
422
Not far.
423
It's right up there.
424
It'll be cool.
425
I've never been to a beach party before.
426
Yara's cell phone is moving.
427
It's too far away.
428
I need a taxi.
429
Taxi.
430
Hey, Talon.
431
Yara, Lisa, Tamen, that you're here.
432
Wow, you look hot.
433
Not now, Barack.
434
I'm sorry.
435
Cool party.
436
Yes, we always chill out on the beach.
437
More people are coming soon.
438
Then the party really begins.
439
Cool, let's dance.
440
It's really good to see you again, Yara.
441
Yes, very nice.
442
I want to show you something.
443
Come along for a minute.
444
Um, I'll ask Lisa.
445
Lisa, can I leave you alone for a minute?
446
Sure, have fun.
447
Jala, let's go.
448
Do you want to see something really cool?
449
What then?
450
I'll show you, but don't tell anyone.
451
Yes, why not?
452
Okay, come with me.
453
Yara, I need to tell you something.
454
Uh, okay, what?
455
Back in school, I really had a crush on you.
456
Really?
457
Vala swears she could only think of you.
458
Taylan, what are you doing?
459
Give me a kiss, baby.
460
I can't.
461
I have a boyfriend.
462
Yara should be right up there.
463
Okay, what is here now?
464
Do you want to make out?
465
No. Come on, just a kiss, baby.
466
No, I can't, Talon.
467
I can see it in your eyes.
468
You want it too. But Tony.
469
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
470
Yara?
471
Tony, what are you doing here?
472
I wanted to surprise you.
473
Surprise.
474
Tony, wait.

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.
