Thank you.

Between the courses to cleanse the palate.

Mm. Will?

She didn't realize it was frozen.

What should we do?

We should take that much too.

Just do the same thing.

No, no!

You're running!

You're acting like monkeys!

Today, we're learning English with The Princess Diaries.

So, what Mia just experienced is called a brain freeze.

That horrible experience when you eat something cold too fast.

Now this movie about a normal teenager suddenly finding out she's actually European royalty is great for learning formal, sophisticated English.

We'll learn with the hilarious scene where Mia has her first royal dinner and just makes mistake after mistake.

And we're saving all the advanced expressions like courses, cleanse the palate, and brain freeze on the real life app.

By studying these words with our flashcards just 10 to 15 minutes a day, you'll be able to remember them forever and confidently use them in conversation.

Now, let's join the Princess of Genovia at dinner.

Shall we practice entering like a princess?

Okay.

Entering.

At the Grand Vol, you enter with the Queen.

But at the state dinner, you enter unaccompanied.

Shoulders back.

Smile.

They're all happy to see you.

Ah, there she is.

Well done.

The worst is over.

Our diligent Prime Minister, Sebastian Motaz.

Hello.

And his lovely wife, Sheila.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Dinner is served.

Someday we will own Zenobia again, and you will be queen.

And your face will be on a postage stamp.

So, Mr. Prime Minister, how would you say the pear market is doing in Genovia?

The Genovian pear market is blossoming, if your pardon's a pardon.

I hear they're serving Lord Spivak's filet on the bone.

No. And

that's their princess.

You wanted to see me?

Is everything all right?

Um, yes.

Yes.

What was happening with the ice bucket?

Oh, um, I just had a little clumsy moment.

It's a busy moment.

The food's delicious, by the way.

So Joe, helpful as always, helps Mia to understand what to expect at the dinner.

At the Grand Ball, you enter with the Queen, but at the state dinner, you enter unaccompanied.

If you enter somewhere accompanied, someone is with you.

The prefix un- makes accompanied negative.

So if you're unaccompanied, you're alone.

Mia has to walk into that grand room by herself with everyone watching her.

And then Joe tries to reassure Mia.

Well done, the worst is over.

You can use this to comfort someone who's been through something tough, like here.

Well, at least the worst is over.

If you want to have good manners, you can pay someone a compliment when introducing them like Joe did with the Prime Minister and his wife.

Diligent means hard-working and careful.

Someone who takes their responsibilities seriously and puts in real effort.

You might describe a diligent student as one who studies every night and never misses a deadline.

Think about someone like Hermione Granger from Harry Potter.

She's the definition of diligent.

And then we hear the butler make an announcement.

Dinner is served!

This is simply a formal, sophisticated announcement that the meal is ready.

If you hear this, you should go sit down at the table and get ready to eat.

These two characters are members of the Genovian aristocratic family.

They believe they have a claim to the crown and are envious of Clarice and Mia throughout the movie, like in this comment.

Someday we will own Genovia again and you will be queen and your face will be on a postage stamp.

This is actually pretty funny.

A postage stamp is the small printed sticker you put on a letter or envelope so it can be mailed.

In many countries, stamps feature the faces of royalty, national heroes, or important figures.

So, it's as if he's saying this is the most exciting part of being a queen.

Then, we hear some more political small talk.

This is pretty clever wordplay.

The market is blossoming means that it's growing, thriving, and doing really well.

Blossom literally means to produce flowers, like a tree in the spring.

But here, it's used figuratively to describe something that is developing beautifully and reaching its full potential.

You might say a young musician is blossoming, or that a new business is blossoming.

The joke is because Genovia is known for its pears, and pears come from trees that literally blossom.

Get it?

By the way, I want you to become the successful, fluent English speaker you've always dreamed of becoming.

I bet you feel pretty lost about how to do this.

You feel too busy to be diligent and dedicate enough time to studying

or you feel like you've been stuck at the same level forever.

So let me share with you a method to go from

being a lost insecure English learner to become a confident natural English speaker even

if you only have 10 to 15 minutes per day.

Watch a short lesson like this one with princess diaries practice the new words from

that lesson with smart flash cards

which use science to help you remember new words forever

and speak the new words in a real conversation

so you feel confident using them in any situation and practice pronunciation

and we make it super easy for you on the real life app

100

and in fact you can use the new words you're learning

101

today in a guided speaking conversation based on this exact lesson with Princess Diaries right now.

102

Stop just recognizing and forgetting new words and start being able to speak them naturally.

103

So try it for free, just click the link down in the description.

104

Now it can be frustrating when natives speak fast and you can't understand what they said, right?

105

But oftentimes you don't understand because you're not used to connected speech.

106

That's how we natives cut, reduce, and link our words together when speaking fluently, like in Mia's next question.

107

First, when we have an N and T together, the T sound often drops, like in international, 20, or here in wanted, which becomes wanted.

108

The preposition to often reduces to t, t, but here, because it was preceded by a word ending in D, we drop the T too.

109

Wanted to.

110

Your speaking will only improve with lots of practice, so listen to me again and try to say that just like her.

111

What was happening with the ice bucket?

112

Well, what Clarice wanted to see me about is why one of her guests arms was on fire.

113

Um, I just had a little clumsy moment.

114

Yeah, okay.

115

Clumsy means being awkward or uncoordinated.

116

Throughout the movie, we see that Mia is very clumsy.

117

Not exactly ideal for a princess who is supposed to be graceful.

118

Another perfect example is Mr. Bean.

119

Listen to this.

120

Yeah, it's really cool.

121

Oh, whoa there, buckaroo.

122

I'm so clumsy sometimes.

123

It's all good.

124

And Mia had another clumsy moment in that first clip we watched where she ate a frozen green food.

125

The Prime Minister explains what it is.

126

Between the courses to cleanse the palate.

127

So first, a course is one part of a meal that is served separately.

128

Some fancy dinners might have three to six courses, or even more.

129

You can use this as an adjective too.

130

A six course meal.

131

Now, between those courses, the guests were served a small dish to cleanse the palate.

132

Your palate is just another word for your sense of taste.

133

And to cleanse it means to refresh it, to clear away the flavors from the previous course so you can fully enjoy the next one.

134

It's basically a little reset for your mouth.

135

Alright, let's see the dramatic end of Mia's first dinner as a princess.

136

Oh!

137

You never run country.

138

You're runkin' these.

139

I'm outta here.

140

Oh!

141

I am sopping.

142

Was that my fault?

143

It can be quite flattering when someone toasts you,

144

but that's not exactly the case here.

145

I would like to propose a toast to the Baroness and Baron Van Token.

146

May you always be barren.

147

To propose a toast means to raise your glass and say something in honor of a person or occasion.

148

You might have seen it at a wedding where someone stands up, raises their glass, and says something like, to the happy couple.

149

You can also say, make a toast.

150

Hey guys, I want to make a toast.

151

Um, here's to those who wish us well, and those who don't can go to hell.

152

So, the toast is to the envious aristocrats we saw earlier.

153

A baron is a member of the nobility just like lords, dukes, and counts.

154

A baroness is the female version, or the wife of a baron.

155

And then we hear another play on words.

156

May you always be baron.

157

This is hilarious if you catch it.

158

May you always be barren sounds exactly like may you always be barren

159

and Barren means unable to produce life completely empty like land that can't grow crops

160

So the prime minister is telling the barren

161

that he hopes he remains a barren

162

But it also sounds like he's wishing something terrible on them

163

And then we see a bit more chaos caused by Mia's clumsiness

164

What do you think sopping means?

165

Completely wet?

166

Extremely angry?

167

Absolutely exhausted?

168

Great, one of the guests got some liquid splashed on them.

169

Sopping means absolutely soaking wet.

170

Like if you just jumped into a swimming pool fully clothed.

171

You might also hear sopping wet as the full expression.

172

Listen to this.

173

These shoes are sopping wet.

174

Good thing you got these.

175

Come on, son.

176

We have to keep moving.

177

But then, Queen Clarice gracefully saved the evening.

178

Shall we adjourn to the Grand Hall for coffee?

179

Lovely word here.

180

To adjourn means to officially end or pause a meeting or gathering, usually so that everyone can move to another place or continue at another time.

181

It's quite formal.

182

You'd hear it in a courtroom, court is adjourned, in business meetings, or in formal events like this one.

183

The Queen uses it brilliantly here to redirect everyone's attention away from the disaster and smoothly move the evening along.

184

And now it's time to adjourn to the most important part of the lesson, your test.

185

You'll watch all the scenes again, this time without subtitles, and answer some quiz questions.

186

I'm sure you'll do better on your test than Mia does at being a princess.

187

Shall we practice entering like a princess?

188

Okay.

189

Entering.

190

At the Grand Ball, you enter with the queen, but at the state dinner...

191

Fill in the blank.

192

Mia had never been to a royal dinner before, so she was nervous about entering the room without the queen by her side.

193

So she was nervous about entering the room unaccompanied without the Queen by her side.

194

You will own Zenobia again and you will be queen and your face will be on a postage stamp.

195

So, Mr. Prime Minister, how would you say the pair market is doing in Genovia?

196

The Genovian pair market is blossoming, if your pardon's a pardon.

197

True or false?

198

The market is blossoming means business is doing badly and losing money.

199

False.

200

It means the market is growing and thriving.

201

What was happening with the ice bucket?

202

Oh, um, I just had a little clumsy moment.

203

The food's delicious, by the way.

204

Between the courses to cleanse the palate.

205

Mm.

206

Yep.

207

Yes, you will.

208

I thought it was cold.

209

She didn't realize it was frozen.

210

What should we do?

211

We should take that much too.

212

Just do the same thing.

213

You're acting like monkeys.

214

What does it mean to propose a toast?

215

To suggest a new type of bread at dinner?

216

To raise your glass and honor someone with kind words?

217

To offer a drink to someone who is thirsty?

218

I'm really sorry.

219

It happens all the time.

220

I would like to propose a toast to the Baroness and Baron Ventokin.

221

May you always be Baron.

222

I'm out of here.

223

Oh, I am sopping. Was that my fault?

224

I am.

225

Shall we adjourn to the Grand Hall for coffee?

226

Oh yeah, I hope you had a lot of fun learning English with the Princess Diaries.

227

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
