1
What's your dream?
2
What do you live for?
3
Well, in Pixar's soul, Joe Gardner's dream is to become a famous actor.
4
jazz musician.
5
I...
6
sorry, I zoned out a little back there.
7
Joe Gardner, where have you been?
8
I've been teaching middle school band, but on the weekends I got a suit.
9
- I-- - Get a suit, Teej, a good suit.
10
Back here tonight, first shows at nine, sound checks at seven.
11
We'll see how you do.
12
- In today's lesson, we'll learn advanced English vocabulary and pronunciation, but we'll also explore how
13
so often the people who love us most are the most critical when we attempt to pursue our dreams, and also the power of vulnerability.
14
Let's kick off our lesson breaking down that incredible moment where Joe kills it during his audition with Dorothea Williams' Jazz Quartet.
15
"Uh, sorry, I zoned out a little back there." When you zone out, you stop paying attention to what's happening around you,
16
because you're lost in your own thoughts or daydreaming.
17
You might zone out during a boring class, or when your grandfather is telling you a story about his youth.
18
Here's another example: I think I zoned out around the middle part.
19
Can you tell the middle part again?
20
Similarly, we can say that you are in the zone.
21
You are focused and performing at your best which might happen with a skilled musician or athlete, for example.
22
In fact, in Seoul, they show the zone as an actual place in between the physical and spiritual worlds.
23
Envy, I think you're really in the zone.
24
Take the wheel, I'll be right back.
25
And you might not like— You should play a song, Schneebly.
26
Okay, I will sing it for you.
27
But let me just get in the zone.
28
All right, let's analyze an interesting use of grammar in this next line.
29
Joe Gardner.
30
Where have you been?
31
So Dorothea isn't literally asking about Joe's physical location.
32
So what does she mean?
33
When someone asks, "Where have you been?" in this context, they're really saying, "Why haven't I heard about you before now?
34
You're so talented." It's a way of expressing surprise that someone this good has been unknown or overlooked.
35
For example, When a new artist releases an incredible album, fans might say, "Where have they been all my life?" By the way,
36
I really want you to feel like you're killing it with your English.
37
If you're like most learners though, you probably feel lost about how to do this.
38
Maybe you feel like you're too busy to dedicate enough time to study
39
or you feel like you've been stuck at the same level forever.
40
So let me share with you a method to go from being a lost
41
insecure English learner to becoming a confident natural English speaker even
42
if you only have 10 to 15 minutes per day watch a short lesson with a tv series movie celebrity
43
or podcast practice vocabulary with smart flash cards which use science to help you remember new words forever
44
speak the new words in real conversation so you feel confident using them in any situation the
45
super easy for you to do this on the RealLife English app.
46
Stop just recognizing and forgetting new words and start being able to actually speak them.
47
And you can try it for free right now.
48
Just click the link down in the description.
49
I love Dorotea's use of slang in this next line.
50
I've been teaching middle school band, but on the weekends I - You got a suit?
51
I...
52
Get a suit, Teach.
53
Teach is casual slang for teacher.
54
It's short and informal.
55
Kind of like how people might call a doctor "doc".
56
And we also heard her use connected speech there.
57
That's how we natives cut, reduce, and link our words together in fluent speech.
58
Listen to her again.
59
Get a suit, teach.
60
So when a T is between two vowels in American English, we usually change it to a soft sound like in water or butter.
61
So we heard this twice here.
62
Got a suit.
63
Got a suit.
64
Got a suit.
65
Get a suit.
66
Get a suit.
67
Get a suit.
68
Get a suit.
69
Now you try.
70
Listen to Dorote again and try to say that just like her.
71
And then she used an advanced word that is useful for musicians.
72
A good suit.
73
Back here tonight, first shows at 9, sound checks at 7.
74
A sound check is when musicians test all the audio equipment before performance to make sure everything sounds right.
75
They check microphone levels, instrument volumes, and make sure the sound system is working properly.
76
Alright, so earlier in the movie, Joe got offered a full -time position as a teacher at the school he works at.
77
Theoretically, this is a great opportunity because it offers security: a stable salary, benefits.
78
However, it's not Joe's dream.
79
And then he gets this incredible opportunity with Dorothea's band.
80
But with all the excitement of finally achieving his dream, he zones out, has an accident, and dies.
81
Fast forward, Joe makes his way back to Earth in a cat's body and with a new soul, 22, in his body.
82
His mother finds out about him playing with Dorothea's band and is not happy.
83
So the next two clips we'll watch are from a heart -wrenching scene where 22, in Joe's body, confronts his mother about the importance of being a jazz musician to him.
84
Let's watch the first part.
85
- Yeah.
86
So much for being done chasing after gigs, huh?
87
- I'm sorry.
88
I hope that cat isn't supposed to be some kind of peace offering.
89
Come, come on.
90
Just say you rescued it.
91
Um, no, it's mine.
92
I rescued it.
93
Hmm.
94
Too bad you can't rescue your career.
95
Oh.
96
Just ask her nicely if she can fix my suit.
97
So, Mom, is there any way you can fix this?
98
Wow!
99
I don't need to see that.
100
I know, embarrassing, right?
101
So, You'll fix it?
102
No. What?
103
How long are you gonna keep doing this, Joey?
104
You tell me you're going to accept the full -time position, then instead I hear you've taken another gig.
105
Tell her that this one is different.
106
This one's different.
107
Does this gig have a pension?
108
Health insurance?
109
No?
110
Then it's the same as the other ones.
111
It's like you can't even be truthful with me anymore.
112
Fine, we'll get the suit off the rack somewhere.
113
My mom has never understood what I'm trying to do with my life.
114
Fine, we'll get a suit off the rack somewhere.
115
My mom has never understood what I'm trying to do with my life.
116
22!
117
Just say - Can I run away now like you usually do?
118
No, not this time.
119
Repeat after me.
120
Joe's mom starts off with a really useful expression: So much for being done chasing after gigs, huh?
121
So much for is used when something you expected or hoped for doesn't happen.
122
It's like saying, "Well, that didn't last long," or "There goes that idea."
123
Listen to this example: "But I have to be rescued by my true love !" Not by some ogre and his pet!
124
Well, so much for noble Steve. Who cares?
125
So much for serenity.
126
A gig is a single performance or job, especially for musicians.
127
But a freelancer might also use this.
128
For example, I got a gig designing the website for a local bakery.
129
So much for being done chasing after gigs, huh?
130
When you're chasing after something, you're running after it, trying to catch it.
131
So Joe has been running around trying to get music work instead of settling into a stable career.
132
His mom is clearly tired of this, so she says that maybe he's brought a peace offering.
133
"I hope
134
that cat isn't supposed to be some kind of peace offering."
135
A peace offering is a gift you give to someone that you've upset or argued with, hoping to restore the relationship.
136
It's your way of saying, "I'm sorry, let's be friends again," like in these examples.
137
"After a fight, he brought me flowers as a peace offering." I always had a tense relationship with her, so I baked her cookies as a peace offering.
138
For Joe's mom, it's really important that he have a job that offers security with benefits like health insurance or a pension.
139
"How long are you gonna keep doing this, Joey?
140
You tell me you're going to accept the full -time position, then instead I hear you've taken another gig." "Tell her
141
that this one is different." "This one's different !" "Does this gig have a pension?
142
Health insurance?" A pension is money that a company or the government pays you regularly after you retire from working.
143
It's basically your income when you're too old to work anymore.
144
Joe's mom is asking the important practical question.
145
Would this music geek provide long -term financial security?
146
Of course, most one -time music performances don't offer pensions.
147
Those usually come with stable full -time jobs.
148
She's making a point.
149
No, then it's the same as the other ones.
150
It's like you can't even be truthful with me anymore.
151
Have you ever heard of word formation?
152
This is super valuable to learn about because it's like a trick that can add thousands of new words to your vocabulary.
153
Let's look at an example in the next line.
154
It's like you can't even be truthful with me anymore.
155
So take the noun "truth" and add the suffix "full"
156
which means "full of" and you get the adjective "truthful" - full of truth, honest.
157
This pattern works with many words.
158
Beauty becomes beautiful.
159
Care becomes careful.
160
Wonder becomes wonderful.
161
Pain becomes painful.
162
If you want to learn more about how to master word formation to add thousands of new words to your vocabulary, check out this podcast lesson we did.
163
We'll link it down in the description.
164
Then Joe, N22, says something that is shocking to his mom and her colleagues.
165
"Fine, we'll get the suit off the rack somewhere.
166
My mom has never understood what I'm trying to do with my life." When you buy clothes off the rack, you're buying ready -made clothing in standard sizes from a store,
167
not custom -made or tailored specifically for you.
168
It's cheaper and faster, but less special.
169
Since she's a seamstress, her son saying he'll get a suit "off the rack" is insulting to her entire profession.
170
We also had a great example of connected speech there.
171
My mom has never understood what I'm trying to do with my life.
172
So we had two more examples of that American tea.
173
First, what I'm becomes what I'm.
174
What I'm.
175
Then to becomes da.
176
Da.
177
And we drop the G in trying and link those last words together.
178
trying to do.
179
Trying to do.
180
Let's put it all together.
181
what I'm trying to do.
182
what I'm trying to do.
183
You need lots of practice to become a fluent speaker, so listen to Joe again and try to say that just like him.
184
My mom has never understood what I'm trying to do with my life.
185
My mom has never understood what I'm trying to do with my life.
186
you So, continuing with the scene, we'll see Joe get vulnerable with his mom, probably for the first time in his life.
187
"Mom, I know we've had some rough times.
188
But you're right.
189
I can't be truthful with you.
190
Because it seems like no matter what I do, you disapprove." "Look, I know you love playing." "Then how come except for church you're the happiest when I don't?
191
I finally land the gig of my life and...
192
You're upset.
193
You didn't see how tough being a musician was on your father.
194
I don't want to see you struggle like that.
195
So dad could pursue his dreams and I can't?
196
Your father had me.
197
Most times this shop is what paid the bills.
198
So when I'm gone, who's gonna pay yours?
199
Music is all I think about.
200
From the moment I wake up in the morning to the moment I fall asleep at night.
201
You can't eat dreams for breakfast, Joey.
202
Then I don't want to eat.
203
This isn't about my career, Mom.
204
It's.. it's my reason for living.
205
And I know Dad felt the same way.
206
I'm just afraid that if I died today, that my life would have amounted to nothing.
207
Chauwei.
208
you Oh.
209
Let's make this work instead.
210
you That's my dance.
211
Thank you, Mom.
212
Ray would have been so proud of you, baby.
213
Like I've always been.
214
Now that was some heart -wrenching vulnerability.
215
Mom!
216
I know we've had some rough times.
217
But You're right.
218
I can't be truthful with you.
219
Rough times means difficult periods or challenging experiences when times are rough and things are hard, maybe financially, emotionally, or in relationships.
220
Here's another example.
221
Okay, listen, we both know that my theater's been going through some pretty rough times lately, but as the saying goes, For every cloud, a silver light!
222
We've got - Hold on right there, Buster.
223
And actually, there's a cool expression that means the opposite smooth sailing.
224
Should be smooth sailing from here.
225
Because it seems like no matter what I do, you disapprove.
226
Now to disapprove means to have a negative opinion about something to think it's wrong or bad.
227
When someone disapproves of your choices, they don't support them, or think you're making a mistake.
228
Listen to these examples.
229
And you disapprove of your daughter marrying my godson.
230
I do.
231
And that's another example of word formation.
232
This makes it prove negative.
233
Here's some other examples.
234
Agree?
235
Disagree?
236
color, discolor.
237
Embark, disembark.
238
honest, dishonest.
239
Notice we usually say disapprove of something not just disapprove something.
240
No matter what I do, you disapprove.
241
Look, I know you love playing.
242
Then how come except for church, you're the happiest when I don't?
243
I finally land the gig of my life and...
244
You're upset.
245
What do you think "land a gig" means?
246
to fall while performing?
247
to successfully get a job or opportunity? to cancel a performance.
248
Perfect!
249
To land something means to successfully obtain it especially after effort or competition.
250
It's like a fish landing on a hook, or a plane landing safely.
251
When you land a job, gig, deal, or opportunity, you got it.
252
Listen to these examples: Lauren, what's going on?
253
I landed a full -time teaching position in Springfield.
254
After looking for work, For a while, I finally landed a two -year contract in London.
255
Let's practice some more connected speech.
256
You didn't see how tough being a musician was on your father.
257
I don't want to see you struggle like that.
258
So often in English, when we have an N and T sound together, we drop the T sound like in "international"
259
or "20." You probably already know "want to" becomes "wanna." We also drop the T in DON'T, Don't wanna.
260
I don't wanna.
261
I don't wanna.
262
And earlier in the scene, we had another great example of this pattern.
263
It's like you can't even be truthful with me anymore.
264
You'll hear this all the time.
265
Can't even becomes can even.
266
Can't even.
267
It's frustrating because "can't" sounds just like "can." But here's two things you can look for to tell the difference.
268
The context.
269
Obviously an affirmative "can" would not make sense in this sentence.
270
the pronunciation.
271
The firmative can usually reduces to couldn't.
272
Can In the negative "can't" we always keep the "a" sound.
273
Can't.
274
Can't.
275
Alright, now you try.
276
Listen and repeat those two lines from Joe's mom.
277
I don't want to see you struggle like that.
278
I don't want to see you struggle like that.
279
It's like you can't even be truthful with me anymore.
280
It's like you can't even be truthful with me anymore.
281
Now this next line is typical advice you probably hear from a practical mom or dad.
282
Music is all I think about.
283
From the moment I wake up in the morning to the moment I fall asleep at night.
284
You can't eat dreams for breakfast, Joey.
285
Then I don't want to eat.
286
So, Joe's mom is using a metaphor to say you can't survive on dreams alone.
287
You need practical things like money to buy actual food.
288
It's just a creative way of saying, be realistic.
289
You can use this pattern with anything that won't sustain you.
290
You can't eat compliments for breakfast.
291
Praise is nice.
292
But it doesn't pay rent.
293
You can't eat Instagram likes for breakfast.
294
Social media fame doesn't necessarily equal real success.
295
Alright, check out a final useful expression.
296
"This isn't about my career, mom.
297
It's my reason for living." And I know Dad felt the same way.
298
I'm just afraid that if I died today, that my life would have amounted to nothing.
299
So amount to something means to add up to or result in something.
300
When your life amounts to something, it means it has significance or value.
301
When it amounts to nothing, it means it's meaningless or worthless.
302
Hey man, this is so relatable, so human.
303
Don't we all fear that our life will amount to nothing?
304
You can use this in other contexts too.
305
Let's say...
306
Jack Nicholson, decided that he wanted to know what people truly thought of him, whether his life had actually amounted to anything.
307
So he fakes his death.
308
and stages his own funeral.
309
In the end to a stunning trial that riveted the public
310
and amounted to revelations of deep -seated corruption in the Swinton Police Department.
311
I don't think the Count's accusations amount to anything more than vague charges.
312
This vulnerable confession finally helps Joe's mother understand.
313
For Joe, music isn't just a hobby or career choice.
314
It's his entire reason for being alive.
315
And in that moment, she chooses to support her son's dream by offering to tailor his father's suit for him, connecting Joe to the very person who gave him his dream.
316
Alright, hopefully you didn't zone out there.
317
Let's see what all of your hard work today has amounted to.
318
It's time to test your English by watching those scenes again without subtitles, and I'm going to make it a bit more challenging by also asking you some quiz questions.
319
Amen.
320
"Uh, sorry, I zoned out a little back there." Which of these people looks like they are zoning out?
321
Heh, heh, heh.
322
Joe Gardner.
323
Where have you been?
324
I've been teaching.
325
Middle school band.
326
But on the weekends I - You got a suit?
327
I...
328
Get a suit, Teej.
329
A good suit.
330
Back here tonight, first show's at 9, soundcheck's at 7.
331
We'll see how you do.
332
You see your friend eating a huge burger and fries the day after they told you they are starting a new diet.
333
You could tell them Disapprove of that diet.
334
smooth sailing that diet.
335
So much for that diet.
336
I'm not sure if I can.
337
So much for being done chasing after gigs, huh?
338
- I'm sorry.
339
I hope that cat isn't supposed to be some kind of peace offering.
340
A peace offering is: a gift to apologize, a donation to charity, a treaty between countries.
341
I'm not sure if I can.
342
Come on.
343
Just say you rescued it.
344
Um, no, it's mine.
345
I rescued it.
346
Hmm.
347
Too bad you can't rescue your career.
348
Oh Just ask her nicely if she can fix my suit.
349
So, Mom, is there any way you can fix this?
350
Wow!
351
I don't need to see that.
352
I know, embarrassing, right?
353
So, You'll fix it?
354
No. What?
355
How long are you gonna keep doing this, Joey?
356
You tell me you're going to accept the full -time position, then instead I hear you've taken another gig.
357
Tell her that this one is different.
358
This one's different.
359
Does this gig have a pension?
360
Health insurance?
361
No?
362
Then it's the same as the other ones.
363
It's like you can't even be truthful with me anymore.
364
Fine, we'll get the suit off the rack somewhere.
365
My mom has never understood what I'm trying to do with my life.
366
Fine, we'll get a suit off the rack somewhere.
367
My mom has never understood what I'm trying to do with my life.
368
22!
369
What did you do?
370
Just say - Can I run away now, like you usually do?
371
No. Not this time.
372
Repeat after me.
373
Mom, I know we've had some rough times. But...
374
You're right.
375
I can't be truthful with you.
376
Because it seems like no matter what I do...
377
Your boss does not believe you worked on a project in the correct way.
378
They.. of how you did the job.
379
you They disapprove of how you did the job.
380
You disapprove.
381
Look, I know you love playing.
382
Then how come except for church, you're the happiest when I don't?
383
I finally land the gig of my life and...
384
You're upset.
385
You didn't see how tough being a musician was on your father.
386
I don't want to see you struggle like that.
387
So dad could pursue his dreams and I can't?
388
Your father had me.
389
Most times this shop is what paid the bills.
390
So when I'm gone, who's gonna pay yours?
391
Music is all I think about.
392
From the moment I wake up in the morning to the moment I fall asleep at night.
393
You can't eat dreams for breakfast, Joey.
394
Then I don't want to eat.
395
What does Jo's mom mean when she says, "You can't eat dreams for breakfast"?
396
Dreams don't provide realistic needs.
397
You should never give up on your dreams.
398
Breakfast is more important than dreams.
399
I'm not sure if I can do this.
400
This isn't about my career, Mom.
401
It's my reason for living.
402
And I know Dad felt the same way.
403
Thank you.
404
I'm just afraid that if I died today, That my life would have amounted to to nothing.
405
Joey...
406
you Oh.
407
- Yeah.
408
Let's make this work instead.
409
That's my dad's.
410
Thank you, Mom.
411
Ray would have been so proud of you, baby.
412

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?
O vídeo "Aprenda inglês com o Soul da Disney — Seguindo seu sonho" é uma excelente ferramenta para quem deseja aprimorar a fluência em inglês. Ao praticar a fala com o conteúdo desse vídeo, você não apenas melhora sua pronúncia, como também entende o contexto das expressões utilizadas no cotidiano. Joe Gardner, o protagonista, vive momentos que muitos de nós enfrentamos: insegurança e o desejo de ser reconhecido. Isso cria um cenário realista para a prática de shadowing em inglês, onde você pode repetir as falas e intonações dos personagens, absorvendo a forma natural de conversar.
Gramática & Expressões em Contexto
Durante o vídeo, podemos observar várias estruturas gramaticais e expressões que são fundamentais para a conversação em inglês. Vamos analisar algumas delas:
- "Where have you been?" - Essa expressão não se refere apenas ao local físico de alguém, mas sim a uma surpresa sobre a ausência ou desconhecimento do talento de uma pessoa. Uma forma de expressar admiração!
- "I zoned out" - Usada para indicar que alguém perdeu a concentração, essa expressão é útil em contextos informais para falar sobre desatenção.
- "Get a suit" - A expressão direta mostra como a fala coloquial pode ser utilizada, especialmente em contextos de entretenimento, refletindo a importância de se vestir adequadamente em situações formais.
Estudar essas expressões usando o site shadowing pode ajudar a fixar o aprendizado e oferecer uma experiência mais envolvente.
Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia
Embora o diálogo seja agradável, existem palavras e frases que podem apresentar desafios de pronúncia. Destacamos algumas:
- "Zoned out" - A diferença entre o som de "zoned" e "zoned out" é sutil, mas importante para a clareza na comunicação.
- "Dorothea Williams" - Nomes próprios, como "Dorothea", são frequentemente difíceis de pronunciar corretamente. Praticar a pronúncia em voz alta é essencial.
- "Get a suit" - A combinação de sons aqui pode ser rápida, exigindo atenção especial para não perdeu a fluência.
Concentrar-se nessas palavras enquanto realiza o shadow speech possibilita um progresso na fluência e também ajuda na memorização das novas estruturas linguísticas.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — uma ação que começou antes e continua | I've been teaching · has been running · theater's been going |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | have you been · has been · have they been |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | you've been stuck · being done · is used |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | people who love · person who gave |
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.
