1
That's your cousin's flight, Kyle.
2
Hold the sign up nice and high so he can find us.
3
Oh, there he is.
4
Over here, Kyle!
5
Hello, Aunt Sheila.
6
How was your flight?
7
Oh, it was terrible.
8
They recycled the air on board and it really did a number on my asthma.
9
I asked them to turn up the oxygen and they wouldn't.
10
Hey, dude.
11
Nice to meet you.
12
Let's get down to the baggage claim, Kyle.
13
Okay.
14
Ooh, that's right!
15
We've got two Kyles now.
16
We'll just call you Kyle, and you can be Kyle, too.
17
Here we go, Kyle 2.
18
And here's yours, Kyle.
19
Oh, what is this?
20
Actually, I can't eat beef.
21
I have a degenerative problem with my intestinal lining, and beef really gets me gay.
22
Oh, I'm so sorry, Kyle.
23
What else can I fix you?
24
I'll put it in the microwave right away.
25
Now, Kyle 2, listen to me.
26
Kyle is going through a very tough time in his life.
27
His mother is very sick, and he's in a whole new place.
28
He's going to rely on you to make sure he fits in at your school.
29
What?
30
What about carpet, huh?
31
He ripped on me for being Jewish.
32
Kyle, too, he's your responsibility.
33
Oh, my God.
34
I'm sure you two will become great friends with lots of late-night pillow talk.
35
What do you mean?
36
What room is he sleeping in?
37
What's this comforter filled with?
38
It isn't filled with down, is it?
39
I don't know, dude.
40
Can you take my stupid glasses and put them on the nightstand?
41
Make sure they're close by because that fish upset my stomach
42
and I might need them if I have to go to the bathroom later on.
43
Okay.
44
Hey, dude.
45
What's that thing?
46
Cartman, I need to talk to you.
47
Hello, I'm Kyle's cousin, Kyle.
48
Cartman, I'm gonna make you a deal.
49
What?
50
That kid over there is my cousin from the East Coast.
51
He's having a really hard time right now, so I'm going to offer you $40 to not rip on him.
52
I can't believe how cold it is out here.
53
Could be tough.
54
But I'll give it a shot.
55
All right.
56
Kyle, this is Cartman.
57
He's my sort of friend-ish.
58
Nice to meet you, Cartman.
59
You know, I saw that same jacket you're wearing at Bosco's for $29.95.
60
How much was yours?
61
I'm just wondering if Bosco's is a rip-off.
62
Oh, man.
63
Cartman?
64
It's nice to meet you, Kyle.
65
I can certainly tell you're a relative of my good friend, Kyle, here.
66
And I know you'll all be very nice to our new student.
67
Kyle, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?
68
Oh, well, I grew up in the city.
69
I really don't care for it.
70
I come from a Jewish family, which, of course, you already know, because Kyle's from the same family.
71
I like to read.
72
Oh, my God.
73
I'm not gonna make it.
74
I'm not gonna make it.
75
Oh, and I hope one day to be an investment banker. Must.
76
Find it.
77
Need.
78
Forty.
79
Dollars.
80
Okay, why don't you go ahead and take a seat, Kyle?
81
Now let's get on with our lesson about the...
82
I wouldn't dust all that are available.
83
I usually prefer the plastic ones because these give me splinters.
84
Now Kyle, I need you to be quiet.
85
In my class, you need to be able to concentrate.
86
Concentration is the key to succeeding in my class.
87
Maybe we'll have to send him to concentration camp.
88
Ah!
89
Dammit, dammit, dammit!
90
Cartman!
91
You need to learn to play some sports, Kyle.
92
So we're gonna start with a tough one called catch the ball.
93
I throw the football to you, you throw it back to me.
94
Just throw it back to me.
95
You just put your arms out and catch it.
96
Alright, here we go.
97
Now what?
98
Now throw it back to me.
99
But it's down in the snow.
100
So dig it out.
101
But I'll get snow on my gloves and then it will melt and I'll have wet hands.
102
Well, then we'll dry them off.
103
Alright then.
104
Oh my God.
105
Kyle, Kyle!
106
I just found out that in World War II, some Jewish people were sent to concentration camps.
107
Because I was talking to Craig, and Craig was all like, Hey, did you know that in World War II they really had concentration camps?
108
You know, aw man, what a misunderstanding, huh?
109
You blew the deal, Cartman!
110
Goddammit, give me another chance!
111
You did what?
112
Oh, no. Haha, serves you right, asshole!
113
Because, I mean, I really think you could have done it for about $12.50.
114
What?
115
Well, I mean, you didn't just start at $40, did you?
116
You gotta lowball these things so you have a place to go.
117
Uh, uh, uh, dude.
118
Dude, I spent five years in this town making a good name for Jews, and this stereotype shows up and wrecks it all.
119
You know what my biggest fear is?
120
That I'll become him.
121
That somehow his mannerisms will start rubbing off of me, and I'll become a stereotype.
122
I mean, I'm a Jew, and he's making me hate Jews.
123
Dude, a self-hating Jew, you are becoming a stereotype.
124
You see?
125
I'm back.
126
I don't know about this, guys.
127
I think sleds are dangerous.
128
Look, Kyle, sledding is something all kids out here do.
129
You've gotta learn.
130
Hold on, I see.
131
Oh, Jesus, this sled is going fast!
132
Hang on!
133
I have to watch out for my glazes!
134
Ow!
135
Think he'll be all right?
136
He's fine.
137
Kyle 2?
138
Where is Kyle?
139
It's possible he just went back to Connecticut.
140
What?
141
Well, I mean, maybe he got so worried about his mom that he found a way to get back and see her.
142
Don't be ridiculous, Kyle 2.
143
He's out playing with his new friends.
144
I'm back!
145
I'm sorry, you must have been very sick.
146
I got your sled tangled up with a bus.
147
A bus?
148
Really?
149
Kyle, what happened to you?
150
I was just sledding and the next thing I knew my sled rope got tangled with a bus.
151
I got dragged for over a hundred miles before the bus finally stopped for gush.
152
I'm sorry about your sled, Kyle.
153
Oh no, don't worry about it, dude.
154
Oh, you poor thing!
155
Come upstairs and we'll get you out of those wet clothes.
156
Are you alright?
157
Oh, my ears feel like they're frozen off
158
and I think I have a hemorrhoid from sitting on a sled for so long.
159
I don't know about this, guys.
160
I think playing hide-and-seek in the airport might be dangerous.
161
Hey, can we speed things up here?
162
Two hours domestic, three hours international.
163
Can't we just play hide-and-seek at home?
164
No. Aha!
165
What's this?
166
A toenail clipper.
167
Die, Terrence!
168
Oh, Jesus!
169
Okay, Cartman, you're it.
170
Start counting.
171
One, two, three, one...
172
Here, Kyle, you hide in here. In there?
173
But it's very confined.
174
I'll get cramps in my legs.
175
Just get in the box!
176
Alright then.
177
Oh, look at that.
178
I've got a corn on my ankle.
179
Now where did that one come from?
180
That's the fourth one I've had.
181
These corns are killing me.
182
I hope he doesn't suffocate.
183
He's fine.
184
Oh, it's been days.
185
Where can he be?
186
Oh, he hasn't really...
187
I'm dead!
188
Kyle, you're back!
189
Yeah, it was the craziest thing.
190
I hid myself on a plane to Antarctica.
191
So, dude, did Cartman's idea work?
192
No. I tried getting my cousin lost in the woods, but a stupid bear brought him home.
193
Damn.
194
I just have to face facts that I'm going to live with my crappy cousin forever.
195
Well, Kyle, I gotta go.
196
Well, I invested in that it thing, and there was a bailout, so I received a $5 million bailout clause check, which I can use to help my family.
197
So I guess goodbye, cousin.
198
Okay.
199
$5 million?
200
Dude, dude, dude, you have $5 million?
201
Wait, Kyle, this may sound crazy, but I think you should stay.
202
Yeah.
203
Really?
204
Yeah.
205
You see, I've learned something today.
206
And, um, let's see, what did I learn about?
207
What did I learn about that?
208
Listen, guys, I appreciate you wanting me around, but the fact of the matter is, well, you guys are just kind of douchebags.
209
It's like you're right out of a stereotype catalog.
210
I can't take it.
211
See ya.
212
Dude.
213
Weak.
214
Good job, Jew.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

O vídeo "Kyle's cousin Kyle" oferece uma excelente oportunidade para aqueles que desejam melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e desenvolver suas habilidades de conversação. A interação entre os personagens ilustra situações cotidianas, como receber uma visita no aeroporto e lidar com as diferenças alimentares e culturais, o que enriquece o vocabulário e a fluência. Ao praticar com este vídeo, você pode se habituar ao shadow speech, onde o objetivo é imitar a fala dos personagens, o que ajuda a internalizar expressões idiomáticas e a estruturação de frases. Adotar essa técnica pode ser particularmente benéfico para se sentir mais confiante em situações sociais.

Gramática & Expressões em Contexto

No diálogo, várias estruturas gramaticais e expressões são utilizadas que são úteis para os aprendizes de inglês. Aqui estão algumas delas:

  • Uso do tempo passado: O personagem menciona, "Como foi seu voo? Oh, foi terrível." O passado é uma parte fundamental da narração em inglês.
  • Expressões condicionais: Quando Kyle diz "Se você não puder me ajudar, o que faremos?", ele usa uma construção condicional que é vital para a comunicação. Isso permite que os alunos pratiquem formas como "if" e suas variações.
  • Phrasal verbs: Frases como "turn up" em "me pediram para aumentar o oxigênio" são comuns no inglês falado e podem ser difíceis de entender se não forem praticadas. Conhecer esses verbos ajudará na compreensão e no uso da língua.

Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia

Durante o diálogo, existem algumas palavras e expressões que podem causar confusão na pronúncia:

  • Degenerative: Este termo tem uma pronúncia que pode ser desafiadora devido à combinação de letras e sons. Pratique dizendo devagar, enfatizando as sílabas corretas.
  • Healthy: O "th" em "healthy" pode ser complicado para falantes de português. Treine a articulação deste som, que é diferente do que se vê na língua portuguesa.
  • Comforter: Essa palavra pode ser difícil devido ao som "er" no final. Uma dica é escutar e repetir a pronúncia para se acostumar.

Incorporar o shadowspeak em sua prática, diante dessas expressões complicadas, ajudará a aumentar sua confiança na fala e a melhorar sua habilidade de prática de conversação em inglês em contextos variados.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
