Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and welcome to Not My Dad.
2
I didn't see anything.
3
Either that's Not My Dad, or whatever was in the corner right there is Not My Dad.
4
Alright, let's go.
5
I saw you.
6
Now this is just a demo, so I can't get my hopes up.
7
If it's going to start out really good, really interesting, really fun, then stop abruptly.
8
It all started on another night when Mom went to work at the hospital.
9
She often worked double shifts and many times didn't come home to make dinner.
10
Dad had been acting strange for days, and that night, he didn't make anything for us to eat.
11
I woke up hungry and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
12
Dun -dun -dun. Is that so?
13
Man, my room is awful. Who?
14
The what thief?
15
Is that AI?
16
Hmm.
17
Hmm.
18
The book tells the story of a creature that mimics human voices and appears to lure its victims.
19
Popular on creepypasta forums, it was adapted in a collection of children's stories used in several rural schools.
20
The children all know the rhyme by heart.
21
On the back of the book, handwritten in red ink, If the skin isn't yours, don't trust what you see.
22
The skin thief walks at night looking for someone to deceive.
23
Okay, find something to eat.
24
Also, I'm the slowest child in existence.
25
Hello.
26
Nice tea poses.

132
Police have not released the victim's identity, but say the search is still ongoing.
133
Neighbors reported hearing nothing unusual the previous night.

With this latest case, the number of disappearances reported in the area since the beginning of the month has reached 15.

We now return to our regular programming.

140
I don't know why they didn't just have his chair pushed all the way to the back so you couldn't go around.
141
I mean, I know I can't go around, but feels like it should have been pushed back so there wasn't even an issue.
142

144

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
This lesson uses a spooky, conversational video to boost your language learning. You'll practice understanding casual speech, mimicking natural tone, and improving pronunciation—all while following a story about a kid navigating a strange night at home. The dialogue is full of everyday phrases and quick, realistic exchanges, making it perfect for speaking practice.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Learn
- Mimics: To copy someone's voice or behavior (e.g., "The creature mimics human voices").
- Abruptly: Suddenly and without warning (e.g., "The fun stopped abruptly").
- Lure: To attract or trick someone into a place (e.g., "It lures its victims").
- Casual greetings: Relaxed ways to address family, like "Dad!", "Father?", or "Papa?".
- Double shifts: Working two shifts in a row (e.g., "Mom worked double shifts at the hospital").
Tips for Shadowing & Pronunciation Practice
The video's tone is conversational, with pauses and slight stumbles that sound like real speech—great for practicing the shadowing technique! Here's how: Play a short clip (5-10 seconds), pause, and repeat it immediately, matching the speed and tone. Notice how the speaker says "Love you or whatever" with a casual, almost sarcastic lilt—copying that helps with natural intonation. For trickier words like "mimics" or "abruptly," slow down the video, focus on each syllable, then speed up to match the original. This isn't just about pronunciation; it's about sounding like a real person in everyday situations. Keep practicing, and you'll soon notice your speaking flows more smoothly!
Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
