Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: Learn English with Finding Nemo

Come away, beyond the sea.

How's it going, Bob?

You know I speak whale.

Come by!

Just as well, he might be hungry.

Don't worry, whales don't eat clownfish, they eat krill.

Swing away!

Oh look, krill!

Hell watches the ships that...

Smooth, go read!

What's going on guys?

Today we're learning English with Finding Nemo.

So I'm Ethan, your RealLife English Fluency Coach, and I grew up watching this movie.

I watched it countless times as a kid.

It's definitely a Pixar classic that anyone from the United States, or I'd say anyone from around the world probably knows.

And it even stars the iconic voice of comedian Ellen DeGeneres.

Now the scene that we've chosen for you today is perfect

because it is packed with vocabulary related to the sea and sea animals, it is great for learning how to tell a story in English,

and you even get to practice listening to both American and Australian accents.

By the way, this week we are celebrating hitting two million subscribers here on YouTube!

It's really incredible!

So to celebrate and to thank you, we have something really special to share with you in just a little bit.

Now let's head under the sea with Finding Nemo.

So where are you going?

Well, you see, my son was taken.

My son was taken away from me.

No way.

What happened?

No, no, no, no, kids, I don't want to talk about it.

Aw, boys!

Well, okay.

I live on this reef a long, long way from here.

Oh, boy.

This is gonna be good, I can tell.

And my son, Nemo, he was mad at me.

And maybe he wouldn't have done it if I hadn't been so tough on him.

I don't know.

Anyway, he swam out in the open water to this boat, and when he was out there, these divers appeared, and I tried to stop them, but the boat was too fast.

So we swam out in the ocean to follow him.

We couldn't stop him.

And then Nemo's dad, he swam out to the ocean, and they bumped into three for all the sharks!

He scares away the sharks by blowing them up!

Golly, that's amazing!

And then dives thousands of feet straight.

Straight down into the dock.

It's like wicked dock down there.

You can't see a thing.

That's it going, Bob.

And the only thing I can see down there is the life of this big, horrible creature with razor sharp teeth.

Nice penny, old man.

And letting us to blast as we are...

Two little fish up, Ben.

Searching the ocean for days.

On the east Australian current.

Which means that he may be on his way here right now.

That just would have been Sydney Harbour in a matter of days.

I mean, sounds like this guy's gonna stop at nothing.

But nothing until he finds his son.

I sure hope he makes it.

That's one dedicated fowler, if you ask me.

So in this scene, we see Marlin, Nemo's father, telling the story of how Nemo was captured and his journey to find him.

His story fascinates other fish and animals as they quickly share and spread it to their friends all over the ocean.

So where are you going?

Well you see my son was taken, my son was taken away from me.

So, Marlin means his son was captured and taken from him by force, to somewhere far from him.

A reef is a raised area on the ocean floor that's made of rock, coral, or sand.

It normally attracts diverse ocean life, like different kinds of fish and other marine animals, as the movie shows.

We can imagine that this reef is the famous Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

In fact, we can hear several Australian accents throughout the scene and the movie.

Oh boy is an interjection that can express two different types of emotions or moods.

It is said when you are excited or pleasantly surprised about something, like Dory seems to be about Marlin's story.

Check out this other example.

And it can also be used when you are feeling slightly annoyed or disappointed about something.

Randall's your monster.

You think he's gonna come through the closet and scare you.

Oh boy, how do I explain this?

Uh, it's empty.

See?

A long, long way from here.

Oh boy, this is gonna be good, I can tell.

As you know, the verb to tell usually refers to saying something to someone, like giving them information or instructions.

However, in this case, when we hear Dory say, Oh boy, this is gonna be good, I can tell she means something else.

What do you think she means?

So here we see the other, less common meaning of the verb to tell, which is to know, recognize, or be certain of something.

For example, a mother can normally tell if her kids are hungry.

See this other example.

See this tentacle?

It's actually shorter than all my other tentacles.

But you can't really tell, especially when I twirl it like this.

So, basically, Dory is saying that she senses that the story will be good.

And my son, Nemo, he was mad at me.

In informal American English, the adjective mad is commonly associated with being angry.

So if you say you are mad at somebody, that means that you are angry with somebody.

You know, after we went underground, my husband used to listen to a police scanner, waiting for something to happen.

And I got mad at him for it.

What?

You knocked down a building?

It was on fire, structurally unsound.

It was coming down anyway.

100

Tell me you haven't been listening to the police scanner again.

101

Look, I performed a public service.

102

You act like that's a bad thing.

103

It is a bad thing, Bob.

104

Uprooting our family again so you can relive the glory days is a very bad thing.

105

Reliving the glory days is...

106

See, he was mad at me.

107

And maybe he wouldn't have done it if I hadn't been so tough on him.

108

If you are tough or hard on somebody, you are strict and treat them severely.

109

So Marlin regrets not treating Nemo more kindly, and starts to think that maybe he wouldn't have swam out to open water,

110

where he was captured, if he had been easier on him.

111

By the way, did you notice how he said this?

112

Here we see some major native connected speech.

113

That's how we cut and connect our words.

114

He didn't say wouldn't have done it.

115

He said, Maybe he wouldn't have done it if I hadn't been so tough on him.

116

Maybe he wouldn't have done it if I hadn't been so tough on him.

117

Let's quickly look at a few native tendencies.

118

First, when we have an N and T together, oftentimes we drop the T, like in the words international and interesting .

119

Listen to this other example.

120

Stars, capturing them.

121

He blows them up and then dives, stars at defeat.

122

Alright gang, we have less than 48 hours before Darla gets here.

123

This tank will get plenty dirty in that time.

124

This tank will get plenty dirty in that time, but we have to help it along any way we can.

125

And maybe he wouldn't have done it if I hadn't been so tough on him.

126

Next, in this part, we can see how natives sometimes drop the H sound.

127

This often happens with pronouns, for example, him or her.

128

So he dropped the H in have and connected it to the previous sound, the N from wouldn.

129

Finally, it reduces and hooks to done.

130

So instead of saying a clear done it, he says done it.

131

Altogether, Maybe he wouldn't have done it if I hadn't been so tough on him.

132

Now, this probably feels a bit confusing.

133

It is an extremely common part of native speech

134

and one of the biggest reasons why it can be so hard to understand your favorite series and movies without the subtitles.

135

What you have just seen here is a perfect example of what students of our Fluent with Friends course learn to master.

136

Hey guys, let me just make a quick interruption to say that we just recently hit 2 million subscribers.

154

But hurry, this offer is only available for a few more days.

155

Now, let's get back to our lesson with Finding Nemo.

156

This is one of the trickiest irregular verbs to conjugate.

157

Even natives sometimes confuse the past and perfect conjugation.

158

But you don't have to.

159

The correct conjugation should be present, I swim, past, I swam, perfect, I have swum.

160

In this context, open water refers to an area in the ocean that is deep and not close to any terrain, like reef or land.

161

A diver, like the ones we see in the movie that take Nemo away, is a person who dives as a sport or professionally.

162

Divers normally make use of scuba equipment, and that's why they are commonly referred to as scuba divers.

163

By the way, do you know what this similar activity is called?

164

But the boat was too fast, so we swam out in the ocean to follow up.

165

We couldn't stop him!

166

And then Nemo's dad?

167

Dad, he swims out to the ocean and they bump into three for all the sharks!

168

To bump into somebody or something refers to the action of hitting somebody else with your whole body, normally by accident.

169

For example, when you're walking and not paying attention to what is in front of you.

170

However, as is the case of what the turtle says, it can also simply mean you met somebody unexpectedly, without planning to, not that you actually hit them.

171

Check out this example.

172

Hey Rach, funny story, I bumped into Joanna on the street yesterday.

173

My boss Joanna?

174

Wow, that must have been awkward.

175

Well, no, actually she asked me if I want to get a drink.

176

A ferocious animal or person is very aggressive and violent.

177

By the way, do you know how to correctly pronounce this word?

178

In English, words that end in O-U-S are commonly mispronounced due to their complicated spelling.

179

But did you know that most of these share the same simple sound, us, for this OUS termination.

180

For example, listen to these three words.

181

Courageous, Mysterious, Ferocious.

182

In the case of this word, make sure that you notice that the C sound becomes an SH sound.

183

Ferocious.

184

And then Nemo's dad, who swims out to the ocean and then he bumps it to three for all the sharks!

185

He scares away the sharks by blowing them up!

186

Golly, that's amazing!

187

Golly is another interjection used to express excitement or surprise about something.

188

If you scare somebody away or scare them off, you are causing them to go away and stay away,

189

because of fear or because of possible trouble, difficulty, etc. Hey, you!

190

Wait a second!

191

Look, I'm not gonna eat you!

192

I just...

193

I just...

194

To blow up is to explode.

195

This line refers to the moment earlier in the movie

196

when Marlin and Dory escaped from three sharks because of an explosion that happened.

197

Here, the slang expression wicked functions as an adjective,

198

and is used to give emphasis.

199

So if a place is wicked dark, it is very dark.

200

Dory, do you see anything?

201

Ah!

202

Something's got me!

203

That was me, I'm sorry.

204

Who's that?

205

Who's that?

206

Who could it be?

207

It's me.

208

The words, a thing, when used negatively in a collocation such as, can't see a thing, means cannot see anything.

209

Check out this example with another collocation.

210

But Fiona and I are married now.

211

We need a little time, you know, to be together.

212

Just with each other.

213

Alone.

214

Say no more, say no more, you don't have to worry about a thing.

215

I will always be here to make sure nobody bothers you.

216

Then dies thousands of feet straight down into the dark.

217

It's like wicked dark down there, you can't see a thing.

218

How's it going, Bob?

219

And the only thing I can see down there is the life of this big, horrible creature with rings of sharp teeth.

220

In this part we've just seen, we can see a fascinating element of storytelling.

221

Did you notice how he is telling the story in the past, but then here he changes to the present tense?

222

Why do you think that he does this? Because...

223

That's right, sometimes we are creative with conjugation when we tell a story.

224

In this instance, he switches to the present tense because he really wants to put the listener in this situation,

225

imagining himself being deep in the ocean and not being able to see a thing.

226

Be sure to pay attention to these changes in conjugation in other parts of the scene and imagine why they might happen.

227

And the only thing I can see down there is the knife in this big horrible creature with razor sharp teeth.

228

Nice penny oil, man.

229

And letting us to blast as we are...

230

A razor is a tool that people use for shaving.

231

It can also refer to just the blade part of the object, which tends to be very sharp.

232

That is, it can cut through things very easily.

233

So if we say that something, such as teeth, is razor sharp, we mean that the teeth are as sharp as a razor.

234

If you make your way somewhere, you are making an effort to go somewhere.

235

Example, he's making his way across Europe, from Lisbon to Minsk.

236

These swordfish are explaining that Marlin had to blast his way somewhere.

237

He might be referring to when Marlin and Dory had to quickly cross a field of jellyfish.

238

They blasted their way across the jellyfish.

239

By the way, if you want to learn more nautical and fish vocabulary, then the perfect lesson for you to watch next is this one with Spongebob Squarepants.

240

So in Finding Nemo we see a natural phenomenon called ocean current, which is a continuous directed movement of seawater.

241

In the movie, it is represented by a visible tunnel of moving water, as we can see here.

242

So Marlin is using the East Australian current to travel faster and reach the city of Sydney in less time.

243

This guy's gonna stop it.

244

The expression a matter of is the same as only or just.

245

For example, in a matter of seconds the building was in flames.

246

So that means in just a few seconds the building was on fire.

247

So they believe that Marlin will be in Sydney Harbor in just a few days.

248

A harbor such as the Sydney Harbor is a protected area along the shore where boats can be anchored or docked.

249

If you say that someone will stop at nothing to get or do something, you are emphasizing that they are willing to do things that are extreme,

250

wrong, risky, or dangerous in order to get it.

251

He will stop at nothing to save the princess.

252

If you make it, you are successful in achieving something difficult, or in surviving through a very difficult period.

253

Look, we're gonna break your neck so you don't feel a thing.

254

How's that?

255

Wait a minute, I thought rhinos were vegetarians.

256

An excellent point!

257

Shut up!

258

Who says we're gonna eat them after we kill them?

259

Yeah, come on, move it!

260

Okay, look, if either of you make it across that sinkhole in front of you, you get the sloth.

261

In another context, if you make it somewhere, you succeed in getting there, especially in time to do something.

262

The wedding!

263

We'll never make it in time!

264

Ha ha ha, I never fear, for where there's a will, there's a way, and I have a way.

265

And look for the giant chicken!

266

Now, Etch!

267

That's where I need to go.

268

You can't go, Buzz.

269

You'll never make it there.

270

Woody once risked his life to save me.

271

I couldn't call myself his friend if I weren't willing to do the same.

272

So where are you going?

273

Well, you see, my son was taken.

274

My son was taken away from me.

275

No way.

276

What happened?

277

No, no, no, no, kids.

278

I don't want to talk about it.

279

Aw, boys!

280

Well, okay.

281

I live on this reef a long, long way from here.

282

Oh, boy.

283

This is going to be good.

284

I can tell.

285

And my son, Nemo, he was mad at me.

286

And maybe he wouldn't have done it if I hadn't been so tough on him.

287

I don't know.

288

Anyway, he swam out in the open water to this boat, and when he was out there, these divers appeared, and I tried to stop them, but the boat was too fast, so we swam out in the ocean to follow him.

289

We couldn't stop him, and then Nemo's dad, who swam out to the ocean, and they bumped into three for all the sharks!

290

He scares away the sharks by blowing them up!

291

Golly, that's amazing!

292

And then dives thousands of feet straight down into the dark.

293

It's like wicked dark down there.

294

You can't see a thing.

295

That's a gumbop, and the only thing I can see down there...

296

...is the life of this big, horrible creature with razor sharp teeth.

297

Nice patio, man.

298

And then he has to blast his way out.

299

Two little fish have been...

300

...touching the ocean for days.

301

On the East South Street.

302

Hurry!

303

It means that he may be on his way here right now.

304

That should put him in Sydney.

305

...in a matter of days!

306

I mean, it sounds like this guy's gonna stop at nothing!

307

But nothing until he finds his son!

308

I sure hope he makes it!

309

There's one dedicated father if you ask me!

310

Alright, I hope you've had a lot of fun with this lesson with Finding Nemo, and hey, if you're ready to take your English to the next level

311

and be able to understand your favorite movies and series, even without the subtitles, then I want to invite you to check out our Fluent with Friends course.

312

And remember to use that coupon code 2 million to get a huge 49% discount at checkout.

313

314

Aww yeah!

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
